- Water and sewer lines were fully restored following a dispute resolution between City Hall and KPLC.
- Fumigation and washing of Ngara roads were conducted by the Green Army teams using treated water.
- Public Health Principal Mary Muthoni had earlier raised concerns about health risks posed by accumulated waste.
A large-scale clean-up exercise was conducted at Stima Plaza, Nairobi, under the supervision of Public Health Chief Officer Tom Nyakaba. The operation aimed to restore hygiene and eliminate health hazards caused by accumulated waste.
Nyakaba confirmed that critical services such as water and sewer lines had been fully reinstated after a long-standing dispute between City Hall and Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) was resolved.
“It is our duty to ensure that people live and work in a clean environment. Today, we are here at Stima Plaza to assure occupants that their surroundings are safe and hygienic,” Nyakaba stated
Health Concerns and Government Response
The clean-up exercise followed Public Health Principal Mary Muthoni’s directive, urging City Hall to address the environmental and health risks posed by unchecked waste.
Muthoni had warned that the foul stench in the area could lead to respiratory diseases if inhaled over time.
During the operation, Green Army teams fumigated both the interior and exterior of Stima Plaza. Additionally, water boozers carrying treated water were used to wash down Ngara roads, ensuring a cleaner environment.
The exercise was strategically scheduled for the weekend, when foot traffic in the area is minimal, to minimize disruptions to businesses and pedestrians.
