Nairobi is a city under transformation. A spot check in the capital\u2019s central business district (CBD) reveals a city that is on an upward trajectory in the cleanliness of the country\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to independent investigations done by our team, the CBD has improved in the areas of garbage collection and overall cleanliness even as the administration, led by Governor Johnson Sakaja works round the clock to deliver a city for all that had been promised in the pre-election campaigns in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nairobi County Chief Officer for Environment, who is also the acting County Chief Officer for Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Hibrahim Otieno Nyakach has taken the bull by its horns to tackle the never-ending garbage menace which has characterized city streets for years in a move that is bearing fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otieno, since his appointment as chief officer, has in the short term taken to working with garbage collectors in ensuring the trash is collected in time as well as educating city dwellers on the importance of having a clean city and therefore, responsible disposal of garbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, the County\u2019s environment department, under Otieno, finally made gains in the reduction of noise pollution in residential areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noise pollution emanating from bars and nightclubs situated in estates has taken a slump since Governor Sakaja made a declaration of clamping down on entertainment joints in estates violating the NEMA noise pollution rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief Officer Hibrahim Otieno led county government officials this week in enforcing the decree with a spot check at Kilimani\u2019s Oyster Bay, which was ordered to comply with noise pollution directives and was henceforth closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
