A team cleaning the Ngong River in Embakasi South, Nairobi last evening recovered three bodies of infants.

This brings to 28 the number of bodies retrieved from rivers around the city by the Sonko Rescue Team (SRT) and the Comb Green Solutions groups cleaning the Ngong River and

Nairobi River respectively since Sonko launched the monthly cleanup exercise in July 2018.
