World Cleanup Day was celebrated in Kisii, Kenya, on Sunday, with residents, environmentalists, government officials, and development partners joining together to promote cleanliness and responsible waste management. The event took place at the Agricultural Training Centre Grounds, where the once notorious Nyambera dumpsite was transformed into a green recreational park.
The governor of Kisii Municipality, Paul Simba Arati, highlighted the success of this transformation, emphasizing the potential of treating waste as a resource rather than a nuisance. The event was held under the theme "From Clean Plates to Clean Cities" and brought together various officials, including the UN-Habitat Director for East and Horn of Africa, and the Controller of Budget.
Arati warned of the dangers of poorly managed waste disposal sites, citing the Kiteezi landfill collapse in Kampala and the landfill disaster in Conakry as examples of what could happen if such issues are ignored.
