“They and their cartels will soon be arrested,” county Nema director Leonard Ofula said yesterday. A spot check yesterday by the Star established that traders are using the thin, single-use bags to pack tomatoes, meat and other products. Traders use bags in the evening to avoid arrest by officials from the National Environment Management Authority. “Those with meat, vegetables, fruits and milk businesses use the small bags in the evening,” Ofula said. Ofula said Nema officers in plainclothes will crack down on notorious traders using the banned plastic.
