Migori County residents have protested over the low sanitary situation within residential streets and in strategic areas of businesses within towns and market centers.
In recent days, some towns, including Migori, have experienced heightened revolts from tax payers, accusing the county government leadership of neglecting its responsibility of protecting the residents from opportunistic diseases resulting from an unhygienic environment.
The situation has been so bad that most of the business people, homeowners and pedestrians have had to leave with mountains of putrid garbage next to their homes and on roads they stride every day to their different destinations. "The strong odours from piles of garbage dotting our streets in towns and markets are sickening us, and it is time that we tell our Governor that enough is enough," warned Caroline Atieno, a resident of Awendo town.
Atieno, a business lady selling various food items at the main town market, said during a recent media interview that the town dwellers must now stop paying taxes unless service delivery is improved immediately.
