They said Thika Garissa Road, wow thats a long way to take garbage.Good for the Thika people wacha kidero akonjoe kwake We need a proper solution for this garbage menace they will just find somewhere else to dump it.... If properly managed, garbage can generate power, make fertilizer or be used as landfill in the numerous disused quarries around. These quarries can then be put to proper or better use. The problem may be lack of markets and capital. You do not require a lot of fund especially for a landfill. You only need one tractor and a grader to compact the material. Some of the reclaimed landfills can make very good golf courses or recreational centers now that we are running short of land. For power generation and fertilizer making, the private sector can mobilize capital. All the government needs to do is give tax incentives and / or market guarantees. What do you mean by 'market guarantees'? A long term product purchase agreement with Government and quasi government bodies like KPLC, KTDA, KPCU.
