Nothern Collector Tunnel not Helpful to us-Kangema Residents

The press statement released by opposition leader Raila Odinga reignited a heated debate among the Kangema people. Several residents turned into their social media accounts to continue with a debate that started last year to air their views. It is ironical that the government wants to divert water destined to Nairobi while the locals are going up and down to look for water. Kangema people have been suffering to get enough water and felt wasted when they heard about the project that could end up drying up their river streams.

It is observable that the rivers such as Mathioya, Boyo and Mukungai that serve the people of Mathioya, Kangema, and Kiharu have been drying up over the years. The current situation of River Boyo is worrying. Several households in Kangema are not piped with water and the lucky ones get it twice or thrice a month. Some residents such as lower Kangema have been airing their grievances to their leaders with no help. The water staffs from companies such as Kahuti Water Company offer no formidable help and resulted to rudeness as they are in dilemma to supply sufficient water. It was notable that some people always get water some few days to end month, a strategic way for companies to collect the water bills.
