On May 11, 2020, a union in Kenya claimed that a court order to prevent water disconnections was crippling businesses.
The union, which represents water and sewerage workers, argued that the order was causing financial losses for companies that rely on water services.
According to the union, the order was issued in response to concerns about the impact of water disconnections on public health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the union claimed that the order was having the opposite effect, causing businesses to struggle financially.
