Inside the battle at Nairobi Water

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and former Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company Managing Director Philip Gichuki

Turmoil at the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company (NSWC) has shifted a gear higher after it emerged that there is a plan to overhaul its entire leadership following suspension of its board by Governor Mike Sonko.

So far, it appears the governor, who had a squabble to settle following his embarrassment at the company’s offices as senator in May 2015 when he went to present the grievances of the residents of Eastlands who had gone without water for months, has an upper hand.
