Although solid waste is a challenge in all countries, the situation in Kenya is aggravated by negligence on proper waste management practices.
The perception that garbage management is the Government's responsibility is wrong. Kenyans should know that everyone has a role in waste management since its negative effects are universal. Garbage also pollutes the environment.
The country belongs to us all. And the environment is ours. Therefore, we all have an obligation to conserve it. Laws and regulations cannot solve the problem if the attitude is not changed.
