The truth about the purported planned sale of the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company will be known next week. The county assembly Water and Sanitation Committee has concluded investigations into the claims and has promised to make the report public next week.
“We have concluded the grilling of different people and groups and we are now compiling the report,” chairman Alex Otieno said yesterday.
“Anytime from Monday, we will expect the speaker to recall the house because the law requires that we only table such a report in the chambers.”
Clerk Jacob Ngwele said the committee will write to the speaker after concluding the report, and call a special sitting of the MCAs to debate the report. The team was recalled by speaker Alex Magelo on June 10 to investigate the claims. This followed a two-week strike by the NCWSC workers, alleging a plot by City Hall and the board of management to sell the company.
The firm workers, who are members of the Kenya County Government Workers Union, claimed they intercepted an MoU, outlining the terms of sale between the NCWSC and SUEZ, a French company.
