The Murang’a government will not participate in the planning of the proposed Mitubiri Sanitary Landfill project that has caused an uproar among residents. Health executive Joseph Mbai yesterday said the Nairobi Metropolitan Development team only involved the county government after it raised queries on the project. Residents have voiced concerns that the project will turn Murang’a into a dumpsite for the Nairobi Metropolitan Development counties – Nairobi, Kiambu, Kajiado, Murang’a and Narok. EIA reportMbai said the Nairobi Metropolitan Development team did not conduct sufficient public participation and most leaders were left out. Talks are being held between the county and the Nairobi Metropolitan Development team to ensure all issues are disclosed.
