Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has flagged off 24 new refuse compactor trucks at City Hall, marking a major step in improving waste management across the city.<\/p>\n
The trucks, which will be deployed immediately, aim to enhance garbage collection in the Central Business District (CBD), key corridors, and major markets.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese 24 trucks will play a critical role in ensuring efficient garbage collection. With their deployment, the work begins immediately,\u201d Governor Sakaja said during the launch.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the waste management team, Sakaja emphasized the importance of delivering on the promise of a cleaner city. \u201cOur residents demand service delivery, and we cannot afford to fail. Let\u2019s make use of these resources to maintain a clean and healthy environment,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n
Accompanied by Green Nairobi CEC Maureen Njeri and Environment Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria, the Governor reiterated his administration\u2019s commitment to making Nairobi one of Africa\u2019s cleanest cities.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust two days ago, over 3,500 Green Army members took part in cleaning efforts across the county. Cleanliness is next to godliness. We cannot thrive in a dirty environment, and that\u2019s why we must ensure our markets, streets, and estates are spotless. Let\u2019s do what is necessary,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
To sustain these efforts, Governor Sakaja announced plans to establish Green Nairobi Company Limited, a parastatal dedicated to maintaining the city\u2019s cleanliness. Modeled after Nairobi Water, the company will operate independently to ensure consistent funding and efficient operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis entity will bring efficiency and accountability to waste management. Garbage collectors will remain part of the system but will follow new procedures designed to enhance effectiveness,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
