COUNTY GOVT BOOST WASTE MANAGEMENT IN TOWNS

The County Government of Kirinyaga has distributed an additional 26 garbage skips and a new skip-loading truck to boost waste management in towns and trading centres. The open skips, which allow easier loading of waste materials, have been placed in towns that previously had none and those with busy markets. While launching the enhanced solid waste management initiative, Governor Anne Waiguru said the skips will help improve sanitation in markets and trading centres across the county. The initiative is part of the County’s broader climate action plan under the Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) Program, aimed at enhancing environmental sustainability and community wellbeing.
