Speaking in Thika Town on Tuesday, Mwangi said that some sellers especially those who deal with groceries have a habit of dumping rotten groceries on the roadside ditches causing blockages. 

"We want to ensure that our town and residential areas are free from flooding that may occur as a result of the blockage of the drainage systems", said Mwangi. 

He noted that the county government had provided bins everywhere in the town for easy disposal of waste.
