The World Bank has warned that Kenya will continue to suffer the economic costs of poor sanitation unless it addresses the challenges arising from diarrhoeal disease, cholera and other epidemics.
Christiaan Heymans, Senior Water and Sanitation Specialist at the World Bank, noted that far too many aspects of sanitation remain unresolved in the country including open defecation, poor waste disposal and low uptake of improved sanitation facilities.
