Hundreds of residents of Athwana and Akithi wards in Meru took to the streets to protest what they termed a "ghost water project."

The residents want the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to investigate the Sh152 million Kiingirwa Water Project, saying although it is considered complete, they are yet to get a single drop of water from it.
