On August 19, 2019, officers from the National Environment Management Authority (Nema) raided the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) offices in a bid to enforce a restoration order.

The order, issued by Nema, directed the company to stop discharging raw sewage into the Nairobi River. However, the acting Managing Director, Nahashon Muguna, had been tipped off and was not present at the office.

"We had come to enforce a restoration order but unfortunately the MD was tipped off and he had to leave the office abruptly," said Nema acting director general Mamo B Mamo.

Mr. Muguna faces arrest following the failure by NCWSC to comply with the restoration order.
