The National Environment Management Authority (Nema) has raised the alarm over resurgence of cross-border plastic bags in Kajiado County by unscrupulous traders.

According to Kajiado County Nema director Joseph Kopenjo, the banned plastic bags are sneaked into the country from Tanzania.

“Nema is concerned about the influx of single-use plastic bags in Kajiado urban centres.

The plastic bags have been traced to the neighbouring country,’’ said Mr Kopenjo.
