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. Has this arrangement been used before for some other product? I think this idea you're proposing is not only difficult to implement but is also undesirable in the end. Prices would be distorted and corruption would increase and even fewer parastatals would make a surplus.

Hang a few big fish in the public square and you will see the results. Back to the garbage.... what do you propose we do with all this filth?

This is like sweeping your house and throwing the rubbish in your neighbours house or compound. It's a very serious matter.

Hang a few big fish in the public square and you will see the results. Back to the garbage.... what do you propose we do with all this filth? I'm currently engaged in recycling - a small firm in Kibera city - and we've made fertilizer, furniture and now we're just into plastics because it's easy to deal in them. But there's a challenge on how to go about making economic sense out of garbage. Like I've said markets and capital are probably the biggest issues here. We're supposed to be competitive and market maximizing: how can we go about this? So far I'm yet to figure it out.
