A group of civil society organisations has challenged new levies by the government on the provision of water for domestic and industrial use.

The civil groups filed a petition at the High Court through lawyer Kibe Mungai to stop the government from implementing the Water Resources Regulations which they claim will make the provision of water unaffordable to Kenyans.
