Environment, Climate Change and Forestry Cabinet Secretary Deborah Barasa on Tuesday told the Senate that the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has issued advisories to all 47 counties and the Council of Governors on sustainable waste management.

Barasa, responding to questions from Senators during a plenary session, said counties have been directed to remove all waste from undesignated sites and submit zonation plans for waste collection and disposal. She added that all waste should be properly segregated, collected, and transported to designated facilities.
