A World Health Organisation report lumping Nairobi together with the notorious Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps in regard to cholera infections should worry us. Even more worried should be the Nairobi County government.

Several cases of cholera were reported in Nairobi in areas nobody would have associated with the disease. An affluent suburb and a three-star hotel reported cholera cases early this year.
