Nairobi County is planning to designate new garbage collection points in the sub-counties to tame illegal dumping.
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja claimed the previous regime had failed to pay contractors who downed their tools months before the August polls.
For this reason, mountains of garbage had been piling up not only in the estates but also in the city centre which triggered a public outcry. He said the new dumping sites will allow the residents in all 17 sub-counties to have places where the garbage will be collected.
"I already met sub-county administrators and officials from the environment department, we are going to publish the designated collection points for the public to know where they will be dumping," Governor Sakaja said.
Once the areas have been identified, Sakaja said the county will conduct crackdowns on those who will be found dumping illegally.
He urged the residents to play their role to ensure that they litter properly so as to discourage the habit of illegal dumping.
"So far we have collected 76,000 tonnes since we came in. Once the areas are identified, we will expect everyone to ensure we have a clean city," he said. [

The Gujarat government Monday claimed that the murder of a Dalit sarpanch in Varsada village of Amreli was the result of personal revenge related to election. State home minister Pradeepsinh Jadeja said this in the Gujarat Assembly while taking part in a discussion on the subject, which was raised by Congress MLA Shailesh Parmar. Jadeja said the incident didn’t indicate that the atmosphere of social harmony in the state was getting polluted.
Parmar had moved a notice to discuss the incident in the House on Monday. Initiating the discussion, Parmar said that it was very unfortunate that within days of discussing forced migration of Dalit families in Par village of Patan district, the House was discussing another incident of atrocity against Dalits. Referring to Una public flogging of Dalits, Parmar said that in the past six months, the incidents of atrocities against Dalits had increased a lot.
Making a statement in the House, Jadeja alleged that local Congress workers were responsible for the Par village incident. He added that it was wrong to say that the atrocities against Dalits were increasing.
Jadeja said that the Amreli village incident was the result of some animosity between the three accused and the deceased after the latter was elected village sarpanch. Jadeja added that the three accused had already been arrested by police.
Jaysukh Madhad of Varsada village, who was elected as village sarpanch in December last year, was killed by three persons in the village on February 28.

'Mismanagement Cause of Discontent in N/Delta
18 Aug 2006
Author: Segun James
A governorship aspirant in Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva, has attributed the crises in the creeks of the Niger Delta to discontentment arising from political mismanagement by successive state governments.
Sylva who stated this in Yenagoa yesterday when he formerly presented himself to the people as a Peoples Democ-ratic Party (PDP) aspirant in Bayelsa State said that the present political leadership in state had nothing new to offer the people.
Consequently, he said the failure of the state government to guarantee the basic needs of the people had made a change of guard imperative for the state to make progress.
According to the aspirant, the major reason for the underdevelopment of Bayelsa was because that successive government in the state, particularly in the last seven years, had failed to develop the human resources of the state.
Sylva lamented that what government had been doing was to share the resources of the state among a few individuals, contending that funds that were required for development were being stashed away in foreign accounts by senior government officials.
This, he said, had forced the youth who had been marginalised to take to such crime as hostage taking.
"Hostage taking is now an enterprise and the situation is getting worse. It is because government was taking the problem from the wrong end by doling money to the boys that they have now taken it as a business venture," he said.
Saying it was unfortunate that there was nothing to show for the billions of naira received monthly by the state from the Federation Accounts, he called for more purposeful governance, adding that unless the resources of the state were applied to public use, the people will remain poor and restive.


Foreign Minister GL Peiris has rejected social media claims that Sri Lanka’s foreign relations have weakened during the term of the present administration.
Speaking during a media briefing in Colombo today, Minister Peiris said parties with vested interests are circulating misinformation.
The Foreign Minister said during the month of January alone, a large number of state leaders and foreign dignitaries are expected in the island.
He said no other government received such backings from foreign powers.
Minister GL Peiris said the arrival of foreign leaders is an indication that the international powers have recognised the present administration.
Meanwhile, commenting on members of the government criticising the actions of the present administration, Minister GL Peiris said certain members are attempting to play a dual role.
The Minister said members are able to criticise the actions of the government during Parliamentary group meetings, the Cabinet of Ministers’ meeting and during party leaders’ meeting.
Minister Peiris said those who are enjoying perks while being in the government, should refrain from making statements against the present administration at public gatherings and fairs.
He said the government has a role to play in running the country while the opposition has a separate role to play.
The Minister said therefore those receiving the benefits of being part of the government should respect the collective responsibility of the Cabinet.

Physical education teacher job seekers, including those who had to quit the profession for lack of money, will be given a voice in the education system.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Thursday said it has made the first step towards giving them a voice through a move that has been opposed by a large number of teachers.
The move comes at a time when the teachers’ union has called for the resignation of all former teachers and has accused the government of not protecting the rights of those who have quit the field.
The BJP government has said it will take a tough stand against the opposition.
The CBSE has already set up a committee of experts on the subject of career migration and training of teachers in the current climate, which will be headed by former chief secretary to the chief minister of Haryana, Suresh Kumar Gupta.
The move is also likely to lead to a move to amend the state’s law that gives the states authority to grant permanent resident status to former teachers.
Gupta, who is also a member of the Congress party, has said that the government is not following the right direction on the issue.
The former chief minister has been vocal against the CBSE’s move and called on the central government to act against the union.
The committee will include representatives of teachers and their unions.
Gupta has also written to the Prime Minister to urge him to take the necessary steps to ensure that such a move is taken.
In January, the union and the government had come out in support of giving former teachers permanent resident visas, saying it would help the education sector in the state.
The union, however, has since come out against giving them permanent residency.

Russia Accuses West Of Instigating New 'Cold War'
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) MOSCOW, Sept 23 (KUNA) -- Russia on Friday accused the West of instigating a new 'Cold War', tabling the 'Caribbean Crisis' as a conflict-resolving example to follow.
The Caribbean Crisis of 1962 is an example of how when two powerful nations set aside their differences for the benefit of all mankind, said Alexander Veneditkov, Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council, as quoted by state-run TASS agency.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to bring all his country's weaponry into play in response to nuclear 'threats' made by the United States and the West.
Historians and experts almost agreed that the Caribbean Crisis, or Cuban Missile Crisis, was the tensest event of the Cold War, reaching the brink of a nuclear showdown between the United States and the former Soviet Union. (end)

Corruption provides financial lifelines for extremist and violent groups such as the so-called Islamic State group, Salih said.

Dr Muke said the Covid-19 had lockdown affected schools and other services throughout the country and they are now slowly picking up from where they had left.
He said the country lacked proper health facilities and no proper personal protection equipment were provided.
Dr Muke said despite that the Jiwaka provincial education office tasked all the schools ranging from elementary to secondary to provide face masks for the students.
He acknowledged the Jiwaka provincial government for allocating K100,000 to the education division during the Covid-19 period for awareness and preparedness purposes.
Dr Muke said the funds were used to conduct awareness and preparedness program which the secondary schools took the initiative.
He said all the five secondary schools took the initiative to conduct Covid-19 awareness into the respective communities despite lacking proper coronavirus skills or knowledge.
Dr Muke said the schools played a major role in Jiwaka to conduct awareness on basic health hygiene like hand washing, social distancing and others.
He said the Covid-19 pandemic had now made the five secondary schools to sew face masks.
The five secondary schools:- Fr Peter (Fatima), Nondugl Secondary, Waghi Valley, Anglimp Secondary and Minj Secondary School.
Dr Muke said Fatima and Minj TVET with Maria Kwin Training Senta also took the initiative to sew face masks.

A Democratic president brought the infamous “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy into the U.S. military, and now President Obama has undone that particular piece of work by Bill Clinton. On Wednesday, Obama signed the bill ending DADT, saluting GLBT service members from the past and present and asking those who may consider enlisting to factor this latest development into their choice, as now they too can take part in his overseas adventures. –KA
Wait, before you go…
At a ceremony at the Interior Department, Obama thanked “all the patriots … who were forced to hang up their uniforms” because of the policy, which dates to early in the Clinton administration.
Obama said all the service chiefs are committed to “implementing this change swiftly.” He said that one day, people will look back and wonder “why it was ever a source of controversy in the first place.”
Obama said he hopes all those who left the service because of the policy will seek to re-enlist. And he encouraged all gays to consider service.

A majority of Americans think Democratic congressional candidates are too radical for the country.
According to a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, 56 percent of Americans said that Democrats are “out of step with most Americans’ thinking.”

That’s a tremendous shift from just two years ago, when 48 percent said Democrats were in the mainstream–and just 42 percent said they were not.
But Republicans looking to capitalize on the Democrats’ shift to the hard-left should also be warned: the American people don’t think the Republicans are much better.
The same poll showed that Americans view the Republican Party through a similar lens: just 33 percent said they believed Republicans are “in the mainstream” and 57 percent believed they are “out of step.”

(MENAFN- AFP) Shanghai shares dropped 3.12 percent by the break on Wednesday, recovering from earlier heavy falls but still extending their largest daily loss in more than three weeks on concerns of waning government support.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index dropped 3.12 percent, or 116.76 points, to 3,631.40. The index had fallen more than five percent earlier in the morning session.
The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, was down 2.98 percent, or 64.76 points, to 2,109.66.
Chinese shares have been highly volatile in recent months, plunging more than 30 percent in a matter of weeks in June, after having risen over 150 percent in the preceding year.
The government has launched broad-based intervention efforts to shore up the declines, which sent shockwaves through regional markets.
Measures have included barring "big" investors from selling their stakes and cracking down on short-selling -- when investors bet prices will go lower.
But slowing growth and a surprise currency devaluation last week -- seen as an attempt to boost stalling exports -- have weighed on sentiment, despite a pledge by the market regulator on Friday that it will stabilise stock prices for a number of years.
"Some investors are worried that the government would pull out before the market is fully stabilised," Li Jingyuan, general manager at Shanghai Zhaoyi Asset Management, told Bloomberg News.
"For regulators, they think these measures have already achieved some effect in saving the market."
Wednesday's decline followed a drop of 6.15 percent in Shanghai the previous day, the biggest single-day fall since July 27, when it plunged 8.48 percent.
Gerry Alfonso, a Shanghai-based trader at Shenwan Hongyuan Group, said an absence of a clear direction was causing "overreactions by investors".
"Eventually the market will turn around," he said.

(MENAFN- Daily News Egypt)
BeNeshty Solar, a company specializing in solar energy solutions, has announced that Egypt has a great competitive edge in producing green hydrogen, a clean and renewable source of energy. According to Romany Hakeem, the chairperson of BeNeshty Solar, Egypt could become the second largest producer of green hydrogen in the world, with a share of 5 to 8% of the global production.
Hakeem stressed the importance of green hydrogen as an alternative to many types of energy sources, especially in reducing carbon emissions and preserving the environment. He also called for the urgent approval of many legislations and laws to support the new and renewable energy sector in Egypt.
He said that Egypt aims to expand the use of clean energy more effectively and that some of the clean energy stations have zero or minimal electricity consumption. He added that the company allocates about 25% of its budget annually to digital transformation, which plays a vital role in the new and renewable energy industry in Egypt.
Hakeem explained that digital transformation helps to reduce production costs by 30%, which enhances investment returns, especially in the clean energy industry. He also said that maintaining solar power stations is not expensive, and mainly depends on cleaning solar panels regularly and monitoring the electricity production from the station.
He expressed his optimism that Egypt will witness a huge qualitative shift in the use of solar energy soon, as Egypt is one of the countries that works diligently to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and rely on clean sources of energy. He concluded that this would contribute to preserving the environment and reducing the import bill.

(MENAFN) With Covid-19 cases on the rise worldwide, World Health Organization Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus asked on Tuesday for authorities to reinstate masking, ventilation, and social isolation.
Speaking amid a press briefing, Tedros said that “the virus is running freely, and countries are not effectively managing the disease.” With the WHO closing last week that the virus stays a ‘Public Health Emergency of International Concern’, Tedros claimed that the pandemic was “nowhere near over.”
Over 5.7 million new cases of Covid-19 were recorded during the week of July 4-10, 2022, a 6% rise over the previous week. Deaths, on the other hand, have stayed relatively stable this summer, with little over 9,800 reported in the week preceding July 4, five times less than in the same week last year.
Tedros called on domestic authorities to step up their support in “communicating risk” to the public, and called for a return of “public health social measures like masking, distancing and ventilation.”
