He used the incident to hit out at businesses in Kenya, saying that they are not consumer-oriented.
"Businesses In Kenya Aren’t Consumers-Oriented Today, I went to Aquapet, Hub Karen to buy food for my dogs & the shop expects me to carry all these without a bag ... Also, most of the tins are dented ... KeBS ban of plastics is no excuse for not getting degradable ones .. Kenya Businesses aren’t serious at all (sic)," he posted.
Kipkorir contented that the Kenya Bureau of Standards ban on plastics was no excuse for shops not to provide bags to customers for free.
He said that civilised countries were offering their customers biodegradable, high-quality bags for free.
"In Europe, Asia, South Africa & all other civilized Countries, all shops supply not just bags, but high quality and elegant degradable bags and for free. And their shop prices are lower than Kenya’s by far.
"Kenya businesses will use the smallest bureaucratic excuse to take away the rights of a consumer. Shops and supermarkets they don’t supply free bags ought to have their licenses revoked. Surely, a bag costs less than Sh20 to produce in China, India and Dubai," the post continued.
Since the banning of plastic bags, Kenyan consumers have had to dig deeper into their pockets to get manila bags.
