"content": "We visited Mombasa and saw it for ourselves. It was a sad moment to see all the raw sewage being drained into the sea for 10 years and nothing has been done about it. We will also be bringing a report on that. This is a serious issue, it can even affect our global positioning as a country. How can we allow this to happen under our watch? There are issues about management of water in our key county cities. We have a serious problem, with the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company. We have another serious problem in Mombasa and Nakuru. However, I would like to report that there are two towns that have done well; Nyeri, where Sen. Wamatinga comes from, and Kisumu. The other county cities should go and learn something there. However, water service providers in most counties are on their deathbeds. I am happy to report that some governors did not even know that water companies belong to county governments. It is this Committee that awakened them and told them that the Water Act provides that a county government has to own a hundred percent of shareholding in water companies and now, they have become interested."
