Nairobi residents are once again facing frustration due to reckless waste management by county officials. This time, Geoffrey Mosiria, the Chief Officer for Environment, has been linked to the illegal dumping of garbage at Stima Plaza.
This shocking act has caused outrage among workers, business owners, and the general public, who are now questioning the leadership in charge of the city’s cleanliness. Garbage was dumped right at the entrance of Stima Plaza, blocking access and creating an unbearable stench.
Employees working in the building had to struggle to get in, while nearby businesses suffered from the disgusting sight and foul smell. Piles of waste, including rotting food, plastic bags, and other debris, were left scattered, attracting flies and stray animals. This act was not just irresponsible but also a serious health hazard.
Many believe this was not just an accident but a deliberate act meant to send a message. However, it has only exposed the poor leadership in Nairobi’s waste management sector.
Geoffrey Mosiria, who is supposed to ensure garbage is collected and disposed of properly, has instead been caught in the middle of a scandal that paints him as part of the problem rather than the solution.
His role in this mess raises serious concerns about whether he is fit for the job.The county government has been struggling with garbage collection, but this incident shows the situation is getting worse. Instead of dealing with waste properly, county officials are now using it as a weapon in political and financial disputes.
The people of Nairobi are left to suffer as their leaders play dirty games. Stima Plaza, which hosts important offices, should never have been turned into a dumping site. It is an embarrassment that such a thing could happen in the heart of the capital city.
Residents and business owners are demanding action. They want those responsible to be held accountable, including Mosiria. It is unacceptable for leaders in charge of the environment to engage in activities that worsen the already bad state of waste management in the city.
Nairobi deserves leaders who take their responsibilities seriously, not those who turn the city into a dumpsite for their own interests.If Mosiria cannot ensure Nairobi is clean, then he should step aside.
The people of Nairobi are tired of watching their city drown in garbage due to poor leadership. Accountability must be enforced, and those mismanaging waste collection should be exposed and removed. The residents have had enough of empty promises and failed leadership. It is time for action.
