Nairobi City is on a determined path to becoming one of the cleanest cities in Africa, with county officers taking decisive action to ensure this vision is realized. The city is undergoing a transformation aimed at creating a cleaner, healthier, and more conducive environment for its residents and visitors alike.
One of the first measures implemented was targeting hawkers who were operating in unsanitary conditions. These vendors, often preparing food in dirty kitchens, have been shut down as part of the effort to restore order and hygiene. Additionally, hawking on pavements within the Central Business District (CBD) has been strictly prohibited to maintain cleanliness and order.
In an effort to curb public nuisances, the county has also completely banned urination in public spaces. Offenders caught violating this rule are subject to strict penalties, reflecting the authorities’ commitment to enforcing these regulations.
The latest directive includes a ban on spitting saliva and chewing bubble gum within the CBD. Those found breaking these rules will face severe consequences, as the county officers remain vigilant in their efforts to uphold the new standards.
The overarching goal is clear: to transform Nairobi into a clean and vibrant city. The county authorities are unwavering in their dedication to achieving this, ensuring that the city not only meets but exceeds the expectations of its residents and sets an example for other cities in Africa.
