Breath of fresh air: Ngong residents celebrate relocation of dumpsite

For more than 20 years, Ngong residents have been enduring the pungent smell emanating from the largest dumpsite in Kajiado County. The dumpsite located at the heart of the town, was an eyesore and a source of misery.

For many years, until last month, efforts to relocate the site have been failing. The residents are happy that the dumpsite is finally being moved. 
County Environment Chief Officer James Sankale said the first phase is decommissioning and rehabilitation of the site while phase two consists of constructing and developing a waste recovery (transitional centre) on land that is yet to be identified.
