The ICT authority has conducted awareness training on e-waste management and disposal to stakeholders in government to ensure they dispose of the waste in a way that preserves the environment.
Speaking during the training at the Busia County commissioner's conference hall, Stephen Otieno, officer ICT Authority said the training will ensure there is efficient disposal of e-waste in an amicable way and managed efficiently. "E-waste contributes to the environment at a rate of 25%.
This percentage is at a higher rate in third world countries because many people are not aware of how e-waste is supposed to be disposed of and managed effectively.
The awareness training will now give a chance of dissemination of the information to the public on e-waste management," he said.
