The interruption was caused by ongoing repair on the Sasumua treated water transmission pipeline at the Aberdare forest and the interconnection of the Kabete Reservoirs outlet pipes with the relocated distribution pipeline along Waiyaki Way at the Communication Authority Headquarters due to the ongoing construction of Waiyaki Way – Rironi road.
“Once the works are completed, it will enable release of the road section between Communication Authority Headquarters and the junction of James Gichuru and Waiyaki Way to the Waiyaki Way – Rironi Road Contractor,” the notice read in part.
Areas set to be affected by the water shirtage include Riruta, Kawangware, Dagoretti Corner and Ngando all located along Naivasha Road.
The most affected routes were Waiyaki Way, Lang’ata road, and Ngong road with the worst hit being motorists plying along the Thika Super Highway.
As a result, Kenyans showed their frustrations on social media, now a powerful tool for agitation, to call out the law enforcers while displaying the mess as it happened.
YouTuber Diana Marua saying, “They have said we shall spend the night on the road till 4am. The cars are not moving on either side and there’s an ambulance with a patient here, who will also have to wait. This is just before Mountain Mall.”
