Residents of Nairobi and Kisumu are advised to prepare for water supply disruptions starting Friday, September 11, due to essential repair and infrastructure improvement works.

• The Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) will shut down the Sasumua Water Treatment Plant for approximately 26 hours from 6am on Friday.
• Kisumu Water and Sanitation Company (KIWASCO) will also interrupt supply in parts of Kisumu on Friday for shorter duration.
• Affected areas in Nairobi include Westlands, Lavington, Kileleshwa, University of Nairobi, Kilimani, Upper Hill, Dagoretti, Kawangware, and Waithaka.
• Residents are urged to store water in advance to mitigate the impact of these necessary disruptions.

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has clarified new tax filing deadlines following confusion over the Finance Act 2026. The April 30 deadline, effective from 2027, will only apply to individuals filing nil returns or those with employment income, not all taxpayers.

• The April 30 deadline is exclusively for individuals with nil returns or employment income.
• The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) issued the clarification.
• Taxpayers in partnerships were concerned about needing partnership financial information, which is typically available later than the new deadline.
