It Hits the Fan

There has been much talk about adverse changes in the climate, the Mau complex, the drying Mara river and other unpleasant things.

I have just come across another very unpleasant human activity – an emerging dump site just behind the Moi International Sports Complex in Kasarani.

The Moi International Sports Complex – Kasarani

From Thika Road, The Kasarani Sports Complex looks marvelous.

Pete’s Stroll

This morning, I took a stroll down ICIPE, towards the Kasarani Sports View estate. My walk was initially wonderful, as I walked down the cool boulevard along ICIPE . . .

Eventually, all that changed when I found myself in an open tract of land just behind the Kasarani stadium.

The dump site

My only question is . . . Is the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and the local authority in Kasarani aware of this growing eyesore?

Following are photos of what lies behind Kasarani:

What to Do?

My take is that both the local and environmental authorities in this area are still paying some people who are sleeping on the job. Additionally, the residents or whoever dumps waste in that area is being quite irresponsible.

A cleanup exercise should then be carried out because unchecked, this will surely become a smelly and environmentally hazardous dump site. Those dumping there should also cease and desist.

The time is now. Otherwise, this situation will surely get out of hand.

Learn, share and live responsibly.
