Site is an estate in Athi river town, Machakos county which can be described as posh.
Here, individuals build their own houses.The estate, therefore, consists of gated houses which are more secure.
Many well-off individuals, therefore, prefer to live in Site. Situated near Export Processing Zone and away from the congested Sofia slum, the estate has attracted a huge population.
This has led to increased garbage output and since little is being done to collect the garbage, the area now stinks to the core!
Those who stay there are now calling for the relevant authorities to collect the garbage that is posing a major health hazard, especially to children.
One particular resident, who did not want to be mentioned, told this writer that she is contemplating moving out of site, despite the fact that she only moved in there a two months ago.
In Makadara trading centre, the situation is the same. Residents now throw their garbage in the drainage alley with reckless abandon and no authority seems to notice.
