Nairobi Chief Officer of Environment, Geoffrey Mosiria, announced a fresh crackdown on illegal dumping sites, leveraging the newly confirmed 3,500 “Green Army” environmental workers. He stressed their new role in educating residents and collaborating to close all unofficial dumping locations in the city.

• 3,500 “Green Army” environmental workers were confirmed into permanent and pensionable positions.
• Mosiria urged Governor Sakaja to facilitate vaccinations for the workers (Hepatitis A and B) and reinstate night cleanups in the CBD.
• The upcoming Green Nairobi Company, an autonomous body, is set to take over cleanliness services in Nairobi.

Nairobi County has launched a night crackdown on churches, clubs, and event organizers over noise pollution. Geoffrey Mosiria, Chief Officer for Environment, announced the initiative following numerous complaints, particularly in areas like Pipeline Estate.

• Affected establishments, especially those near residential areas, must ensure their sound does not exceed 35 decibels.
• Mosiria stated that the crackdown will also target churches causing noise pollution, particularly during 'Keshas', urging them to soundproof or seek neighbour approval.
• This action follows the recent closure of a noisy motor vehicle garage in Runda Estate on Thursday, August 7, after repeated warnings were ignored.

Nairobi traffic will be significantly affected by road closures and diversions ahead of the Kenya vs. Morocco African Nations Championship (CHAN) match at Moi International Sports Complex, Kasarani. Motorists are advised to avoid Thika Road unless attending the game, which kicks off at 3pm.

• Nairobi Traffic Commandant Joseph Chirchir announced full or partial road closures and diversions.
• Affected roads include Aerodrome Road, Lang’ata Road (one side), and Mombasa Road (one side).
• Alternative routes are provided for traffic from Nairobi CBD, Thika Road, and for vehicles heading to the CBD from Mombasa Road and Lang’ata Road.
