The Environment ministry, through the National Environmental Management Authority, has been resolute in its decision to ban plastic bags from August 28.
Sonko’s tweet elicited mixed reactions from Kenyans on Twitter.
Is this viable. Everyday? We have millions of homes. Have you seen the number of flats we have?
