City Governor Johnson Sakaja will lead a Nairobi County cleanup exercise on Saturday. The participants are scheduled to gather at Jevanjee Gardens in Starehe Sub-County.

Deputy Governor Njoroge Muchiri, MCAs, religious leaders, Green Army members, Community Health Promoters, and community-based organizations are all expected to join the effort.

This cleanup initiative comes in the wake of recent enforcement actions against public urination and littering. On Monday night, a crackdown led by Environment Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria resulted in the arrest of at least 30 individuals for urinating on streets and walls.

“Anyone caught urinating in the streets of Nairobi will be arrested and face legal action. Tonight, 30 people have been apprehended in the CBD and will appear in court,” Mosiria said.
He said they are committed to restoring order and dignity in Nairobi.

Mosiria said they are also targeting those littering and dumping garbage.
He said they would open and prudently manage more areas for people to relieve themselves and dump waste.

“We would want to see some of these areas run even at night to help those operating that time. They will be spread all over,” he said.

Those arrested were sentenced to community service, including cleaning Uhuru Park and the Nairobi Funeral Home (formerly the City Mortuary).

On Wednesday, Governor Sakaja urged the University of Nairobi to create technology-based solutions to tackle solid waste management, water usage, and wastage tracking.

“I challenge you to develop technological innovations for managing solid waste,” he said. “We collect over 2,300 tonnes of solid waste daily—how can we use technology to better manage this and find beneficial uses for the waste in Nairobi?”

He made these remarks while officially opening Nairobi Innovation Week at the University of Nairobi.
