• Kenya: Human Waste Woes in the Slums

    UN Integrated Regional Information Networks, 27 December 2012

    The odour of human waste is unbearable at the pit latrine behind Nancy Anyango's house in Manyatta, a sprawling slum in the western city of Kisumu. Nearby, a heap of rotting garbage lies between long rows of shanties. From a distance, one can hear the flies buzzing.

    What a wonderful article to bring attention before those in authority in Nairobi. But what a waist of print! Same old problem that will not be attended to. How can those in leadership hide behind a constitution which is FOR THE PEOPLE and yet fail the people? If the current President and the next one will repent of their sin and work for the people and not just a tribe, then perhaps God will turn an ear to the cries of a UNITED Kenya.
