Recently, tensions escalated at Nyayo Highrise Ward in Nairobi as Ministry of Housing officials were chased by angry residents protesting long-standing water shortages.
Residents of the estate have been struggling with intermittent and unreliable water supply for years, with many households receiving water only once or twice a week.
This situation has forced them to rely on expensive water vendors, further compounding their frustrations.
