By MAGDALENE WANJAMore by this AuthorThe National Environment Management Authority (Nema) wants IEBC to convene an urgent meeting with political parties and aspirants to address compliance with the environment deposit bond over the disposal of electoral campaign materials. According to Nema, all political aspirants will be required to pay a fee to facilitate the clearance of posters placed in all public places once the campaign period is over. “A meeting to firm up compliance and enforcement interventions is required at your earliest convenience,” say Nema Director General David Ong’are in a letter addressed to IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati. Mr Ong’are noted that in the previous elections, materials used during the campaigns remained an eye sore and exposed members of the public to an unhealthy environment once the elections are over. “In order to accord all Kenyans a clean and healthy environment, it is required of all political aspirants to clean up all their electoral campaign/advertising materials from the environment,” reads the letter.
