After several years of back and forth, August, the month of total ban on plastic is finally here. According to National Environment Management Authority (Nema) regulations, plastic bags stand banned from August 28. That is what every environment-conscious Kenyan expects. The government should deal with the plastic issue once and for all.
Otherwise, the path to a total ban has been long and dicey. The plastic producers and importers have consistently worked to throw the spanner in the works.
