Nairobi County has stepped up efforts to curb unlawful waste disposal, with manufacturers in the city being put on high alert on Sunday, April 27.
The county's Chief Officer for Environment, Geoffrey Mosiria, has issued a stern warning to manufacturers in the city, vowing to close down industries involved in the unlawful dumping of waste products.
In a scathing statement on Sunday, Mosiria noted a growing trend of industries turning sections of areas in the city into dumping sites, insisting that the only recognised site in Nairobi was the Dandora dumping site.
He specifically called out the Kenya Manufacturers Association (KMA) for their role in contributing to the growing problem of waste disposal in the city.
