Government Agencies Enforce Regulations on Plastics, Couriers, and School Transport - August 2025

The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has launched a door-to-door crackdown targeting businesses reported to be manufacturing banned polythene bags, which were outlawed in 2017. In a separate enforcement action, the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) shut down eight unlicensed courier service companies in Nairobi's Eastleigh area and made several arrests. Additionally, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has issued a comprehensive safety checklist for school administrators. This directive emphasizes strict adherence to safety rules for the transport of children ahead of the third term reopening, following NTSA checks that found numerous compliance issues.
