Sunday, December 28,
2025 - Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer
Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, has announced a Ksh 50,000 cash reward for credible
information that will lead to the arrest of individuals stealing newly
installed litter bins and scrap metal dealers purchasing them.
In a statement issued on Sunday, December 28th,
Mosiria said the County Government is determined to protect public property and
hold offenders accountable.
“I am hereby offering a cash reward of Ksh 50,000 to anyone
who will provide credible information leading to the identification and arrest
of any scrap metal dealer buying these stolen litter bins, as well as the
individuals stealing them.”
“Once the culprit is arrested, the informant will receive
the reward,” he declared.
Mosiria noted that several litter bins recently installed in
Nairobi estates had already been stolen and sold as scrap.
He condemned the theft, describing it as shameful and
unacceptable.
“Residents requested for these litter bins, and as a County
Government, we provided them to promote cleanliness and environmental
responsibility.”
“It is therefore unacceptable that the same facilities are
now being stolen by people well known to us, while others remain silent and
protect thieves,” he said.
The Chief Officer warned perpetrators that they will face
the full force of the law.
“This is a final warning to all thieves and scrap metal
dealers involved in this criminal activity. Your days are numbered,” he added.
The announcement comes weeks after Mosiria threatened to
revoke licenses of private waste management companies found illegally dumping
garbage at a previously closed site along Likoni Road, vowing to escalate
enforcement and cancel licenses of offenders.
