A Chinese firm has secured a Sh37.6 billion deal to restore Nairobi's water basin in a futuristic plan that will see it build a new sewer line, pedestrian walkways and cycle lanes along one of the city's main rivers.
China Energy Engineering Group (CEEC) will be the project contractor for the master plan to rehabilitate the Nairobi River in yet another attempt to restore the capital to its past glory as "the green city under the sun", according to a Social Environmental Impact Assessment (ESIA) report published in June.
