The Nairobi County government has warned all motorists and passengers against dumping garbage from cars along the city's road reserves.
In a statement on Monday, June 23, Nairobi County Chief Environment Officer for Environment Geoffrey Mosiria said that people should refrain from this habit and utilise the dustbins that have been erected in different locations within the city.
According to Mosiria, reckless dumping of waste has led to an unsightly environment in addition to blocking drainage systems within the city, which in turn leads to recurrent flooding.
Mosiria stressed the need for each resident to take personal initiative in the effective management of waste, rather than depending on the government to handle the waste crisis. Nairobi Chief Officer of Environment Geoffrey Mosiria, November 26, 2024.
