Kisii County government has been challenged to ensure they collect garbage in time.
Mr King’oina Kepha the chairman of Muungano Youth Group that cleans the town and its environs has accused the department of environment of not taking the garbage from designated points to dumping sites after the group has collected it.
King’oina, who was speaking on Monday morning at Mwembe, said that during rainy season, the garbage is expected to be removed as early as possible since it can bring diseases.
“During this season we expect the environment to be clean since there are many diseases that can break our as result of the garbage,” said King’oina.
He appealed to the county government to add more vehicles to be used in collecting the garbage as one way of keeping the environment clean.
“I urge the county government to add more vehicles that can be used to collect the garbage to enhance a friendly environment,” added King’oina.
In addition he advised residents to make sure that their homes are free from wastes that might cause diseases.
