The garbage was supposed to be taken to the Dandora dumping site, but the company’s employees chose to violate the rules.
During Mosiria’s routine inspection, he noticed the illegal dumping and approached the truck driver.
What shocked him most was when one of the men attempted to bribe him with KSh 1,000 to settle the matter.
"You mean to tell me that you want me to overlook this crime for KSh 1,000?" Mosiria asked, clearly displeased.
"This is how illegal dumping sites are created, and then people start complaining when the government steps in to enforce the law. I don’t take bribes; they only invite curses."
He warned the company’s employees, stating that their license could be revoked if such behavior continued.
“This city has rules, and we will not allow anyone to act as if it doesn’t. Nairobi is supposed to be a city of order, and Governor Johnson Sakaja promised just that,” Mosiria declared.
Illegal dumping remains a serious issue in Nairobi. Residents and companies have been accused of creating unauthorized dumping sites across the city, posing environmental and health risks.
Mosiria emphasized that this behavior disrupts the efforts to keep the city clean and organized.
"This is unacceptable. Garbage must be disposed of properly, not left on the road or in undesignated places," Mosiria said.
In addition to addressing waste management problems, Mosiria has been investigating rogue developers.
Recently, he uncovered illegal constructions in areas like Parklands and South C, where some developers have built on rivers, causing severe flooding in nearby properties.
“I found a building in Parklands constructed over a river, and now, when it rains, the surrounding homes are flooded.
This kind of carelessness is dangerous and must stop,” he said during an inspection.
Mosiria urged Nairobi residents and businesses to follow the city’s regulations. "If we all follow the rules, our city can be clean, organized, and safe for everyone," he concluded.
