52. A few years ago, the Water and Sanitation Program, a nonprofit affiliated with the United Nations and the World Bank ... issued a report on Kibera's water kiosks... At 3 shillings per jerry can, Kibera residents pay 10 times more for water than the average person in a wealthy neighborhood with municipally supplied, metered water service... They presented it to local and national politicians. There was only one bunch of people who never saw the study: the residents of Kibera... Japeth Mbuvi, Operations Analyst for the program, explained why... "there could be riots." ...there's something sad about his concern... Kibera's people deserve to know the facts about their lives -- Robert Neuwirth, Shadow Cities
