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 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

@NyongesaCh92636 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

Protecting River Kibos/Nyamasaria is ultimately about protecting people. The river, the livelihoods it supports and the environment around it must be safeguarded for both the present community and future generations. #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

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

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

During a recent visit to the river, Hon. George Ayugi Mbuta witnessed firsthand the concerns being raised by local residents about pollution and the changing state of the river. #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

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

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
