This matter should not be reduced to political competition. The central issues are environmental protection, public health, livelihoods and the fundamental need for communities to have access to clean and safe water. #MbitaAtRiverKibos
The complaints from residents are not new. They say they have repeatedly raised concerns about the state of the river but feel that their calls for action have not received adequate attention. #MbitaAtRiverKibos
The people of Kisumu East deserve answers about what is happening to River Kibos/Nyamasaria. They deserve to know whether the pollution is being properly investigated and what action is being taken to protect their environment. #MbitaAtRiverKibos
For years, residents have depended on the river for various social and economic activities. Fishing and other livelihoods have provided important support to families in the surrounding areas. #MbitaAtRiverKibos
The residents allege that untreated waste from Kibos Sugar Factory is being discharged into the river, raising serious questions about the possible causes of the pollution. #MbitaAtRiverKibos
@SnrCollins48 The situation has raised concerns because River Kibos/Nyamasaria eventually drains into Lake Victoria. Pollution in the river therefore has implications beyond the immediate communities living along its banks. #MbitaAtRiverKibos
The petition is expected to be presented to the factory and the relevant regulatory authorities. The aim is to demand investigations, accountability and measures to protect the river. #MbitaAtRiverKibos
The residents are now preparing to take their concerns to the relevant authorities. They intend to mobilize the community and collect thousands of signatures in support of a formal petition. #MbitaAtRiverKibos
A particularly disturbing moment came when a huge dead fish, locally known as “Mumi,” floated to the riverbank during the visit. Residents said such incidents are becoming increasingly common. #MbitaAtRiverKibos

There is also growing frustration with elected leaders in the area. Residents want their leaders to take their concerns seriously and push for concrete solutions rather than allowing the problem to persist. #MbitaAtRiverKibos
However, residents now say these activities have been disrupted by the deteriorating condition of the river. What was once an important resource is increasingly becoming a source of concern. #MbitaAtRiverKibos
According to residents, some of the alleged discharges occur during the early morning hours. They believe this makes it difficult for authorities and members of the public to monitor what is entering the river. #MbitaAtRiverKibos
