Invest in modern Sewage...it probably will cost you maybe 400M dollars for Accra - but it well worth. It will also employ many jobless youth.

Very simple buried culvert system - from every Ghanian house - connecting to main sewer lines - flowing to the main treatment plant.

More diarrhea from the cesspool of Accra.
Show me a modern city that would entrust you to keep your shiet, treat it with biodigester and name it.

All that CRAP is just one big rainfall away from overflowing sewage all over.

NOW ADD TO YOUR FLOODING problem

You're just breeding Cholera and all sort of diseases...and destroying enviroment.

When you have statistic of PROPER MODERN SEWAGE SYSTEM - let us know.

As of know - the DIRTIEST CITY in the world is beckoning. You were just 4 places to be the top

Just30:
see this fool from a country whose capital dump 84% of feacal waste untreated and openly into 5he environment.

Bio digester is one the most eco friendly way to treat human excreta. There are so many kinds.

There are those that convert faecal matter into clean water
There are those that convert faecal matter into ash
There are those that convert faecal matter into organic manure for gardening.
There are those that convert faecal matter into gas

And so many others


While 84 percent of Nairobi rely on Cesspit and dump their cesspit waste into the open, untreated.

That is highly Stupid

Don't a super stupid? Soakpits/ Cesspits/ BioDigesters ARE CRAP you should be running away from. One rainfall - and the sewage overflows or it leaks into underground water.

PLEASE I HOPE THIS STOP GAP MEASURE.

GET PROPER SEWAGE SYSTEM.

We cannot discuss seriously soak pits or biodigester or cesspits -or trucks transporting them on roads - to treatment plant.

THAT IS UBER STUPID.

DISCUSS MODERN SEWAGE SYSTEM PLEASE.

Nairobi is at 50% - and working to getting 70% on MODERN SEWAGE SYSTEM

Just30:
I am talking about an environmentally friendly way of treating feacal matter so that they dont end up untreated and dumped into the environment like it is done in Kenya.

Hence the constant death from cholera in your country.

It is highly stupid to be drinking e.coli filled water in kenya.


84% of Nairobians from 21 counties without sewage treatment systems dump their faecal sludge openly into the environment in Nairobi
Those who are fortunate enough get to dump it in the nairobi river

You're talking - transporting fecal matter with trucks from your overfilled soakpits/cesspool - to be treated

That is SUPER STUPID.

Nairobi you flush your toilet - the grey water - flows in pipes 30kms to Ruai - and it treated - and it re-dericted to water.

Nairobi river - contamination is from slums - the 50% who don't have such system - and relie on Ghana like soak pits/cesspits/shared toilets.

Just30:
that is not an environmentally friendly way to treat liquid waste.

Because kenya can't treat it liquid waste efficiently, 20% of it end up in the Nairobi river hence contaminating the fresh water supplied to Nairobi with e.coli.

That explains the yearly cholera deaths in kenya.

In Ghana, the entire system is operated without human intervention until the end product.

So you talking about treating overfilled soakpits/cesspool? No wonder I see trucks

We are talking modern sewage - that means all grey waste water with fecal stuff - are transported through culvertized network - to the treatment plant.

You flush your toilet or kitchen - and the waste is transported - as grey water through culverts- treated - and then redericted back to the river.

Just30:
Check their expansion project.

Daily Feacal sludge from homes in Accra range from 22,000 cubic meters to 30,000 cubic meters.

They all end up in Feacal treatment facilities.

I hope you know the difference between faecal sludge and waste water

There is no more of any capacity except those 3 plants - https://seweragesystems.com/ - with biggest being 18,000 - NOT 28,000 capacity.

Now tell us how much waste water is generated in ACCRA?

In Nairobi - the smallest - The Kariobangi wastewater treatment plant has a capacity of 32,000 m3 per day and uses the trickling filter technology.

While Ruai - does about 80,000 m3 per day.

THOSE ARE FACTS.

Kariobangi as we speak is being expanded from 32,000 to 75,000

Just30:
Again, another old nonsense.


Accra operates the most modern Sewage treatment system available in the world.

We don't use that old waste water settlement system.
It is for backward cities like Nairobi

Sewage Systems Ghana limited operate 3 waste to energy plants.

Mudor plant - 28,000 cubic meters daily .
Kotoku plant - 2400 cubic meters daily.
Lavender Hill plant - 1500 cubic meters daily


Tema metro operates the 10,000 cubic meters Nungua sewage plant.

Together, they handle 100% of Accra liquid waste
Need I list more?

Ruai - Dandora Sewage treatment plant - has about 5,000 acres of land - one of the largest treatment plant in Africa - with capacity of 160,000 cubic per day. What do you have in Ghana - largest I see is Lavender Hill - with 2,000 cubic meter capacity - and other very tiny ones.

Like this safi sana https://safisana.org/

And compare this to that

Accra has more Sewage treatment plants than your nairobi .

Accra has a larger sewage treatment capacity and more modern Sewage treatment systems than Nairobi.


Kenya is new to the sewage treatment business, so i understand your newly found happiness.
SO I UNDERSTAND WHY CHOLERA IS KILLING MORE KENYANS EVERY YEAR, KENYANS DRINK FAECAL WATER ALL THE TIME.
BECAUSE ALL THE WATER THAT FLOWS THROUGH PIPES IN KENYA CONSTAINS E.COLI


Ghana has eliminated cholera, I hope your country does too.

More and more Ghanaian homes have any of these 3 systems Biogas Digester, Biofil Digester, ABR Systems sewage treatment facilities and those carry no scent

What is their capacity? Remember lagos generate millions of waste water per day - that get dumped in the Lagos Lagoon.

simply because u're evicting people and building an STP doesn't mean it's a great news, though I understand anything is chipped in to score cheap point by u Kenyans.

Below is an STP location in lagos.

Atlantic ocean is not a wastewater treatment plant

In the year 2006, about 200,000 m3 of FS was collected and dumped into the Atlantic Ocean without treatment [12]. In 2010 this figure increased to about 550,000 m3, as inferred from Koppelaar et al. [13].]

Total treated sewage in Accra is not even 5,000 m3/day

Over the years, Accra has had three major FS treatment plants, located at Achimota, Teshie-Nungua and Korle Gonno (Old Lavender Hill) [15, 16, 17], but Achimota and Korle Gonno have since been decommissioned. The Teshie-Nungua waste stabilisation ponds (10,000 metric tonnes capacity) [27] receive a daily FS loading of 80–100 m3 [9], [16]. Currently, Accra has several operational FS treatment plants with relatively modern technologies being used, the most prominent of them being the 2,000 m3/day capacity Lavender Hill faecal treatment plant (FTP). In addition to this, there is the Slamson Ghana cesspit treatment plant (400 m3/day capacity) situated at the Old Lavender Hill and the Kotoku FTP (1,000 m3/day capacity). The Safi Sana waste-to-energy plant (WTEP) and the Jekora Ventures Limited Fortifier Compost Plant (FCP) also use FS for the production of organic fertilisers and biofuel

Just30:
100% of Accra Sewage ends up in wastewater treatment facilities.

Yes both Ruai and Kariobangi sewage land had been grabbed - like many public utilities - in the existing slums and informal settlements. But good thing with kenya - eventually they will be recovered. Ruai had 3,000-4,000 reserve land for future sewage - but about 2,000 or more had been grabbed. Most of it was restored to the sewage and was the Kariobangi sewage estate.

Anyway with Phase 2 taking sewage to 70%.

We need to fix the 30% - and I suspect majority here are slums or informal settlements - and for example restore Nairobi Dam - from the mess that Kibera slum has created.

Nairobi badly need that dam - for water related acitivites.

"The Nairobi Dam situated next to Kibera was built in 1953 but fell into disuse in the late 1980s after years of pollution and subsequent colonisation by water hyacinth."

As for ACCRA, LAGOS and their Septic tanks We leave them at mercies of Cholera when it rains; and their septic tanks overflow.

kikuyu1:
Back to critical sewage matters! Mid last year EVERYONE screamed when the gov evicted Kariobangi dwellers to develop the sewage treatment facility.
The truth is it WASN'T only COMPLETELY legal but the IMF loan facility for water and sewerage projects would've lapsed had the authorities not taken action.

They were innocent victims and sadly those who conned them into buying then NAIROBI city council land are untroubled by either conscience or the law. The truth is Nairobi badly needs that 25 ac plot turned into a into a sewage farm lest we become an Accra or Lagos where ANYTHING goes.

Looks good except for too many untarred/unpaved roads inside it.

Funny enough less than 2% of Nairobi roads are paved just like how less than 7% of kenyan roads are paved.

More diarhoea from choleric ghanian.

Let me help you.

See the biggest difference btw Nairobi and Accra is INFORMALITY.

In Nairobi - when you want to build a house or subdivide land - you have to start by building the road - or you're not getting sub-division approved or building plan approved.

Nairobi city council and gov agencies just build the main highways and roads - but inner roads - that is built by residents to their driveway - or again NO BUILDING PLAN is approved.

Don't be suprised therefore if you look at Nairobi City (leave the metro) - you cannot see unpaved roads - except in Informal settlements (slums)

You're talking potholes - when you have unpaved road right in your central business 'slum'. Why don't you pave roads right in your main city.

Now I remember when you once asked me what % of Nairobi roads are paved - and I was like - that strange question.

Coz Nairobi paved road is almost 95%.

Of course - they exist. And much worse vices. But I bet the same exist in Nigeria where more than 70% resident live in slums and where there are 200 slum settlements

LAGOS -The city has been dubbed the "mega-city of slums," with millions living in and around the lagoons with no access to roads, clean water, electricity or waste disposal. .

68816419:
My question is, do you believe" sex for sanitary pads" exists in all Kenya's slums?

Lagos is a slum in itself. Slums are reality in third world countries but at least most cities attempt to do some basic planning and zoning.

You can imagine they export 7B dollars gold annually - and illegally the same value - and cannot fix sewage. They have given up. The more we laser focus on Ghana the more we expose their clay feets.

Cholera outbreak kills 13 in Kenya
Source: Xinhua|

Kenya's Ministry of Health said on Thursday 13 people have died due to cholera following heavy rains pounding several parts of the nation.

Mutahi Kagwe, Cabinet Secretary for Health said that medical personnel is working round the clock to control the reported 550 disease cases mostly appeared in northern Kenya.

"It is unfortunate that we have lost a total of 13 Kenyans from the disease, 12 of them in Marsabit and one in Turkana," Kagwe told journalists in Nairobi.

"Regrettably, most of the case, 40 percent, and sadly, 70 percent of the deaths too, have been among children aged 10 years and below," he added.

The official said other cases have been reported in Garissa in northeastern Kenya and gradually made its way to Wajir, Turkana and Muranga in central Kenya.

He said that 48 cases in Garissa, four in Wajir and eight in Muranga have been controlled following quick intervention by health personnel.

Kagwe announced that the government has enhanced intervention and that cases in Marsabit and Turkana in the northern region will be contained over the next two weeks.

"We believe that this is feasible, given the fact that the outbreak is currently localized to only two areas, which is Marsabit and Turkana," he added.

Cholera is a gastrointestinal disease, usually spread by contaminated water and food, and can cause severe diarrhea that, in extreme cases, can lead to fatal dehydration and kidney failure within hours.

Just30:
All our cities already have efficient sewage systems that turn liquid waste either to fertilizer or biogas at large liquid waste treatment facilities or individual facilities that immediately convert liquid waste to ash.

That is an environmentally friendlier way than what is happening in Nairobi where people are basically dumping raw sewage into nairobi river or throwing plastic bags filled with human excretal onto people roofs. Whereby only 12% of kenya have access to central sewage systems, which is less than Ghana
