Various stakeholders in Murang'a County have called for strict adherence to policy guidelines in the disposal of plastic waste.
Murang'a County Director of National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) Ms Catherine Thaithi, speaking during celebrations to mark World Environment Day, said a large number of the county residents many times fail to adhere to set guidelines when disposing of plastic waste.
She said irresponsible disposal of plastic waste has greatly contributed to environmental pollution.
Littered plastic waste, she noted, does not only pollute the surroundings but also puts water sources and bodies at risk of contamination.
