Nairobi County officers fumigate Stima Plaza

Days after garbage was dumped and sewers clogged at Kenya Power’s Stima Plaza, officers from the Nairobi County government moved in on Saturday to fumigate the premises.

According to Nairobi County Chief Officer Tom Nyakaba, the dispute between the county government and Kenya Power has been resolved.

City Hall had come under attack for dumping waste at the site as the two entities clashed over the payment of pending bills.

Nyakaba explained that the fumigation exercise was a standard procedure aimed at strengthening the County’s relationship with Kenya Power. The operation included clearing bushes, unclogging sewers, and fumigating the compound.

Nairobi County had been criticized for endangering the health of residents by dumping waste at Stima Plaza, prompting the courts to order the immediate removal of the waste.
