The Nairobi River cleanup is advancing as drainage, sewerage, and riverbank interventions progress across the city, according to Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo. Works include sewage separation at Globe Roundabout, a 27-kilometre twin trunk sewer installation at Baba Dogo, river widening and dredging at Lucky Summer, and solid waste clearing and drainage restoration at Ngomongo.
These efforts are part of the Nairobi River Basin Regeneration Programme, which aims to transform the river into a cleaner, safer, and greener public asset while renewing urban spaces and communities along its banks. Thousands of young people from settlements along the river corridor are also involved in waste collection, environmental restoration, and rehabilitation through the ClimateWorX Mtaani Initiative.
