Editorial Sonko should engage to effectively run city When he launched what he said would be a monthly general cleaning exercise over three months ago, city residents were upbeat and lauded Governor Mike Sonko’s initiative. Nairobi can do with more regular and serious sprucing up! The city’s aesthetic appeal has progres- sively been degraded and today large swathes of the capital are a pitiful cesspool of murk and a perfect ex- ample of how not to manage a modern metropolis. Admittedly, this is a challenge most cities throughout developing economies face. Notwithstanding, a clean city is the result of con- scious efforts, careful planning and conviction in execution. City fathers of previous decades perhaps appreciated that the primary and key role of civic au- thorities was service delivery; water, housing, cleansing, sanitation, security and fidelity to order. There have been massive changes in terms of de- mographic dynamics catalysed by uncontrolled flight from rural poverty, clearly overwhelming urban plan- ners. The facilities Nairobi boasts of today were never meant for even a quarter of its current over 4.5 million Pankaj Bedi population. The proliferation of informal settlements have only compounded issues. So we have the horror, among others, of solid waste management, particularly disposal of raw sewage.
