Kisumu Urban Planning project will spend Sh800 million to relocate Kachok dump site to Muhoroni.
According to Kisumu Deputy Director for Environment, Belinda Nyakinya, the funds is part of Sh4 billion fund AFP released to Kisumu Urban Planning (KUP) project this year.
Speaking in Kisumu on Thursday Nyakinya said that the county will launch the solid waste management strategy on March 26 this year.
"This strategy will give us a map on how we will manage waste in Kisumu City for the next 10 years," said Nyakinya.
She added that the strategy will also help to reduce waste since it will separate waste with recyclable materials.
“We will have four tanker centers for organic waste, paper waste," notes Nyakinya.
Nyakinya said that KUP has the sources to secure the relocated site and build a sanity landfill facility.
This will help to accommodate what will not be taken at the tanker centres.
“We will have a communication system to sensitive the community to manage solid waste," concludes Nyakinya.
