Here is why you could be Charged upto Ksh 300,000 for spitting in Busia County

It will be a rough time for people who will be caught spitting in busia as they could be fined a minimum of Ksh 20,000 and a Maximum of Ksh 300,000 if the proposed Busia County Waste Management Bill is passed.

“Residents of the county might end up paying hefty fines if found spitting within the town once the bill is assented to by Governor Sospeter Ojaamong “ County Executive for Environment and Natural Resources Bernard Yaite said.

The tough laws are in a bid to keep the border town clean as it is a key entry point into the country from Uganda and Tanzania.

We have employed women and youth to clean Busia, Malaba, Bumala, Port Victoria and Nambale towns daily in order to keep them clean,” Yaite is quoted.

Busia County Government is planning to ensure dustbins are installed all around the town and inside passenger PSVs so no one will have an excuse.
