In Nairobi, the enforcement of public hygiene laws is a growing concern as the city intensifies efforts to maintain cleanliness and order.
Recently, a young man was caught urinating on the streets, an act that violates the Nairobi Public Nuisance Act of 2021.
Under this law, offenders face hefty penalties, including fines of up to KES 10,000 or even a six-month jail term.
The county government has ramped up efforts to enforce these laws as part of a broader campaign to clean up Nairobi’s streets.
Geoffrey Mosiria, the Nairobi Environment Chief Officer, has been leading the charge to ensure that the city maintains a clean and green environment.
His team regularly patrols the Central Business District (CBD), targeting littering, public urination, and other minor offenses.
Those caught in such acts are often sentenced to community service in places like the City Mortuary or parks, further contributing to city maintenance.
