Kisii: Calls for action as traders decry piling waste in Suneka

Traders at Suneka market in Boncharo, Kisii County, have expressed their frustration over ongoing waste management issues that have persisted for several weeks.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, the vendors reported being forced to clear their workspaces and dispose of trash along the roadside.

This, they said, creates significant chaos and safety concerns, especially following heavy rains that continue to cause flooding in the region.

The vendors complained that despite paying taxes to the county government, they receive little or no support from the authorities.

They are calling on Kisii Governor Simba Arati to instruct relevant officials responsible for waste management in the market to take swift and effective action.

“This will address the situation before disease outbreaks emerge due to the accumulation of waste,” the traders said.
