The Nairobi Rivers Commission (NRC) is anchored in The Constitution of Kenya through the Environmental Management and Co-Ordination Act (No. 8 Of 1999) and the Climate Change Act (No. 11 of 2016) on environmental protection. The commission was established through a Gazette Notice Number 14891 on December 2nd, 2022 to reclaim the rivers of Nairobi as a spine to the city’s blue and green infrastructure for a better urban environment and quality of life. The Commission envisages a collaborative approach together with other stakeholders and development partners to secure, protect and restore the critical River Basin in order to achieve the shared goal of reclaiming the Nairobi Rivers.
