President William Ruto has committed to completing the clean-up of the Nairobi River by January 2027, following public concerns over delays in the Ksh40 billion project.

• This initiative aims to regenerate the river and enhance sewer systems across the city.
• The project, part of the Climate WorX Programme, has faced resistance from residents over land evictions.
• A completed first phase of the Northern Collector Tunnel has already improved Nairobi's water supply by approximately 140 million liters per day.
