Traders in Molo Town have asked the Nakuru County government to establish a dumping site in the town.
The traders claim that they have no dumping site a situation which they say has led to littering and poor waste management.
The traders say that the existing dumping site has been filled and can no longer hold more waste.
Speaking on Friday in the town, Samuel Macharia a trader, said they are finding it hard to dump waste. He stated that lack of dumping sites threatens the health safety of traders and residents.
“Governor Kinuthia Mbugua’s government should move with haste and establish a dumping site for us,” said Macharia.
The traders’ further claim that their worries to the county government on the matter has not bore fruits.
“We have been complaining to the county government over our predicaments in relation to waste management but nothing seems to be happening," said Njeri Wambui, a vegetable vendor at the town.
The traders now want area MP Jacob Macharia to take up the issue and help them get a dumping site.
They threatened to hold demonstrations if the county government fails to establish a dumping site in the area.
County Environment Executive (CeC) Richard Rop said the government is working towards establishing a dumping site in all sub-counties.
In an interview with journalists last week, Rop said the Nakuru County government has embarked on establishing proper methods of waste management.
