Nairobi, 8th November, 2022
Nairobi City County Environmental Enforcement led by Christine Kivuva, Deputy Director, EMCE today stopped and arrested construction workers working on a Kenya Pipeline Company Project in industrial Area for illegal dumping in Viwandani along Ngong River.

Nairobi Governor Sakaja Johnson has previously warned of dire consequences for anyone caught dumping illegally in the city. The County boss has taken seriously environmental matters of the City, where he promised to restore order and ensure its restoration.
Arrests1The Kenya Pipeline Company hired construction company has been excavating black soil from their site and dumping it in Ngong River.

Said Ms. Kivuva, “The Environment Enforcement team managed to arrest six people working on the site, among them truck drivers, excavator operator among others.
