Scrap Metal Dealers, County Officials Partner on City Cleanup

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): Scrap metal dealers and Nairobi City County are forging a partnership on how to work together towards cleaning the city and improving the environment.

A meeting between the Scrap Metal Dealers Association chairman Evans Ng’ang’a and the county’s chief officer in charge of environment Geoffery Mosiria engaged on how the two entities can work together.

Key issues discussed in the meeting included licensing for the scrap dealers and vandalism, according to a statement released after the event.

Mr Mosiria emphasised the importance of scrap metal dealers being fully compliant with the laid-down procedures and acquisition of the county recycling license.

He also requested the lobby to assist in taming the acts of vandalism of county government facilities. Mr Ng’ang’a noted cases of extortion from county officers even as he outlined the measures put in place to ensure members have the right paper work to conduct business.

He sought the taming of rogue county officers who had been illegally arresting licensed dealers and extorting money from them.
