Standard]Nairobi, the one-time ‘Green City in the Sun’ has for decades struggled with the garbage menace now affecting over four million residents. One of them is Karim Mugamba, a matatu operator along Mfangano Street in the Central Business District. For the last four years he has been managing vehicles plying various routes, but behind his workstation, lies a piling heap of garbage. The Director for Environment, Water & Sanitation at the Nairobi Metropolitan Services warns that those caught disposing of waste in undesignated areas will be arrested and charged. The Nairobi Solid Waste Management Act provides for a penalty of up to Sh200, 000 or a jail term of two years, just so you know.
