Nairobi City County has launched a major crackdown on businesses in the Central Business District (CBD) due to improper waste disposal. The operation, led by Chief Environment Officer Geoffrey Mosiria, will target hotels and other establishments responsible for significant waste generation.

• The crackdown aims to curb illegal dumping along road reserves and walkways, a practice often facilitated by businesses hiring unlicensed individuals to avoid proper disposal costs.
• Geoffrey Mosiria warned that businesses failing to pay the county for waste collection or not using approved private providers will face legal action, with dumped garbage traced back to its source.
• The initiative extends beyond the CBD as part of a broader effort to eliminate illegal dumping across Nairobi, emphasizing the necessity of tough measures for a cleaner city.
