Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja declares crackdown on plastic paper bags in Kenya's capital.
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has said operations to weed out plastic paper bags will start in a week's time. Sakaja, while speaking at Uhuru Gardens during the Labour Day celebrations, said the plastic bags contribute to poor drainage in the capital. "In a week we are going to go into another operation to make sure that plastic paper bags are no longer in our markets because they are the ones clogging our drainage. We want to keep our city clean," he said. City Governor said though the use of plastic bags had been banned, many are still using them. Sakaja said he has already made an agreement with NEMA Director General regarding the exercise to weed out those still using plastic bags. He noted that Nairobi is the environment capital of the world, as it hosts the United Nations Environment Program(UNEP). Sakaja said he is aware many who showed up for the celebrations experienced challenges because of poor drainage. He acknowledged that many highways are currently flooded with the ongoing rains.

This is a welcome move indeed. Our environment needs to be protected and plastic paper bags are a major cause of pollution. We need to support such initiatives and be mindful of our actions so that we can ensure a clean and healthy environment for ourselves and future generations.
