Works at the proposed modern Ngong waste management plant may be complicated by emerging claims that its site land was illegally acquired. The three-pronged waste management programme, according to Sankale, involves decommissioning and rehabilitation of the Ngong dumpsite, creation of a transition facility, and commissioning of an integrated waste management plant. This means solid waste disposal operations at the existing disposal site at Ngong dumpsite will cease, Sankale said. “The Ngong dumpsite has major negative environmental impacts on the local environment as a result of uncontrolled and open dumping. Others, he said, are poor geographical location affecting Ngong town, an ineffective recycling process at the site, waste scavenging, and inadequate disposal facilities.
