County replaces asbestos roofs with iron sheets

Workers change asbestos roofing materials in County council in Naivasha in a project sponsored by Nakuru County government at a cost of Sh10m. The county says it will get rid of all the roofing materials by next year after they were identified as poisonous. [Antony Gitonga, Standard]

Residents of the oldest and largest estate in Naivasha have a reason to smile after Nakuru County government moved in to replace the poisonous asbestos roofing materials on their houses.

Already 50 per cent of the houses in County Council estate have had the roofing material changed in the Sh10m project.
