The Green Army from Nairobi City County cleaned up Stima Plaza after someone dumped trash there. Workers came early Saturday and sprayed chemicals to kill bugs. They also cleaned up the area around Ngara.
Tom Nyakaba, the Public Health Chief officer, watched the work. He said water pipes and sewer lines work again after City Hall and Kenya Power fixed their fight.
"We must make sure people have clean places to live and work. We are at Stima Plaza today to tell everyone the area is safe," he said.
The cleanup happened after Mary Muthoni asked City Hall to clean the place. She warned that trash can make people sick and that bad smells can hurt one's breathing.
The teams picked Saturday because fewer people walked around then. They sprayed inside and outside the building, and special trucks washed the roads with clean water.
Nyakaba said this is part of a big plan to clean all of Nairobi. Teams are working in many parts of the city.
The cleanup also helped settle a long-running dispute between Nairobi City County and Kenya Power. The power company says the county owes it 4.8 billion for road fees and power bills.
Governor Johnson Sakaja talked with Energy leader Opiyo Wandayi about fixing these problems. Sakaja also said one truck dropped trash in the area by mistake. His team cleared it away fast and they are looking into what happened.
These changes should help make Nairobi cleaner for everyone who lives there.
