Carcasses of stray dogs, cats and livestock are lying beneath heaps of garbage in Othaya streets, traders in the town have said. Residents of the town in Nyeri county have resorted to burying the carcasses in garbage heaps after the county government stopped collecting garbage in the town. Morris Maina, a boda boda rider, said ordinarily county government officials would collect such carcasses alongside garbage. He is one of the boda boda riders operating near two uncollected garbage heaps near the Nyeri-Kiria-ini - Gatugi road junction in Othaya. He said failure to bury the carcasses would make their operation impossible due to the foul smell from the rotting carcasses.
