The Nairobi County Chief Environment Officer, Geoffrey Mosiria, has warned hawkers and business owners in the Central Business District (CBD) against using the newly installed dustbins to dump their waste.
Speaking when the installation kicked off on Sunday, May 18, Mosiria stated that the bins were put in place to only serve pedestrians after the previously installed ones were stolen.
If caught dumping commercial waste in the bins, the county officer declared that necessary legal action, including prosecution, would be taken as a deterrent to others. "Importantly, these dustbins are strictly meant for use by pedestrians and not for hawkers, vendors, or business owners," he warned.
