President Uhuru Kenyatta has on Wednesday July 6, 2022 signed into law the Sustainable Water Management Bill. The new Sustainable Waste Management Act establishes a robust legal and institutional framework for sustainable management of waste to ensure the realisation of the constitutional requirement on the right to a clean and healthy environment.
It provides mechanisms for policy, coordination and oversight of waste management, and promotion of a circular economy for green growth by, among other provisions, establishing the Waste Management Council whose mandate includes overseeing implementation of the national sustainable waste management strategy.
Multi-link is proud to have been involved in the formulation and stakeholder engagement of this progressive legislation.
