Githunguri MP Gathoni Wa Muchomba has kicked up a storm by threatening to sponsor a motion in parliament in a bid to amend the Water Act.

Gathoni said is unfair for residents from counties that supply water to Nairobi notably Kiambu and Murang'a, to suffer from acute shortage of the commodity while Nairobi enjoys constant supply.
