Let this ban take force and gradually have a plan to replace all plastic bags used for industrial packaging. I fully support. Plastic usage affects majority if not all; the few who are opposed are the manufacturers

Retailers too. If you break bulk and sell animal feeds for instance, you now have to do with more expensive packaging for your customers

The biggest concern should be plastic water bottles. They are worse than the paper bags.

The only advantage the bottles have over paper bags is that they are recycle-able, but no one is doing that!

The ban should extend to the soda/water/juice bottles!!!!

Is the implementation on going ,Meanwhile

A survey in Nairobi — which accounts for 62 per cent of the 275 dispensers installed within commercial centres — showed many dealers, who had stocked plastic bottles, had put up reminders for shoppers to carry their own containers

Kenya can fix two of its biggest problems - bad roads and mounds of plastic waste — at once, if it embraces new technology.

The technology incorporates plastic waste in the construction of roads.

The roads, built from discarded plastic water bottles and polythene bags will not only be water resistant but also stronger, smoother and durable, Mr Balasubramaniam Swaminathan, the president of Enterprising Fairs India, said.

Have the environmentalists considered the toll that increased usage of paper will have on our forests?

I am all for the environment but I see the problem as more of disposal of plastic waste than use of plastics, so why can't the law address the disposal aspect.

These are the people complaining loudest about the plastic bags ban.



How come only members of the 44th tribe are complaining?

They want Kenya to be like their shags:



And then they will just move to England.

Now I know why this ban came at this time... How many tracks of sisal plantations are in Taita Taveta and its environs? I think they gonna benefit lots from this ban.

NOTE: I support the ban despite...

It's the discipline that we lack...then our lawmakers being dimwits are just there to react,they can't think.

In big European cities like Hamburg,Rotterdam etc juala is used daily but you will not see a plastic paper bag litter flying around.
They carefully manage disposal.

@impunity, been checking the countries that have banned plastic bags. Most are third world countries. Most are in Africa with Bangladesh being perhaps the only non African country with a successful total ban.

The Rwanda case is often quoted but they are totally different from us. They are very disciplined, do not trash, don't junp traffic lights even at night. Great people. Here in Kenya, you buy a soda as you drive towards Nakuru, ikiisha you just mannerlessly thrust the plastic bottle out of the car. Itaokotwa na kanjo ya huko Flyover ama Kinungi

I get very disgusted walking behind someone in a clean section of a town where county govt has done nice paving then you see them drop banana peels on the pavement.

We need stronger non-littering, non spitting laws and enforcement

This is where I agree with you. You have described my experience completely! The lack of manners exhibited by many people is annoying and frustrating...

Kenyans being kenyans seem to have accepted and moved on, KAM says there is a crisis, which crisis, NEMA should kaa ngumu and actually look into adding water bottles in the ban,also some primary packaging for items like bread,kadogo blueband, sweets, should also go, we frustrated the matatu card, the analogues tv ban worked let the plastic ban also work.
