Governor elect, Mike Mbuvi Sonko, has launched a general cleaning exercise dubbed ‘Operation Safisha Miji’ in Nairobi County, effective today (August 16), succeeding his campaign mantra to clean Nairobi of its mounding filth.
The governor, who is to be officially sworn in on August 21, 2017 at
Uhuru Park, has regardless annexed his duties as the declared Governor
by assuming administrative undertakings like overseeing his county
coffers during the transition period and now cleaning the County.
The cleaning activation will take place across the County with
removal of campaign posters, unblocking sewers, clearing mounds of
garbage and adopting a responsible garbage disposal mechanism.
So far, the activation has set off in Gikomba and Muthurwa market, which are among the filthiest open air markets in the city.
