The Nairobi County Government is set to kickstart a crackdown this week on Eastleigh and Pipeline tenants, landlords, and caretakers who condone poor waste management within their premises.
In a statement on his official X account on Sunday, July 20, Nairobi County Chief Environment Officer Geoffrey Mosiria announced that the crackdown will target individuals who fail to pay or utilise waste management services for waste disposal.
According to Mosiria, the reluctance of these individuals to pay for waste management services has eroded the county government's ability to provide waste management services and also pay private contractors who assist the county government in managing waste across the county. "The responsibility of the county government is to clean the main corridors and to ensure that the roads and the city in general are clean.
But it is your responsibility to ensure that all the waste that you generate in the house is taken to the Dandora dumping site, which is the final disposal point," Mosiria said.
