Hundreds of Wajir residents participated in a community-driven clean-up exercise aimed at creating a cleaner and healthier environment.
The initiative brought together diverse stakeholders, including local community members, the Wajir Boda Boda Association, Kenya Red Cross, Siyat Foundation, Equity Bank, and Kenya Commercial Bank.
Spearheaded by Wajir Municipality officials, the clean-up included garbage collection, drainage unblocking, and trench clearing along the municipality's main streets.
Wajir Municipality Manager Omar Shano, who presided over the clean-up, emphasized the importance of fostering a culture of shared responsibility for cleanliness. "We are pleased with the community's overwhelming response, which underscores their commitment to a cleaner environment," he noted.
