Report on sanitation call for more investment in sector

The disclosure by a World Bank report that Kenya loses Sh27 billion each year due to poor sanitation is not only shocking, but also sends an alarm that all is not well in the health sector.

While we know very well that diarrhoea is the second biggest killer of children under the age of five after pneumonia, our Government only invests a paltry of 0.5 per cent of national income in sanitation.
