A statement from Natural Justice providing comments and recommendations on the Kilifi County Solid Waste Management Bill, 2019, focusing on administrative oversight, environmental licensing, and penalty structures.

• Natural Justice argues that the Bill lacks a competent and independent administrative body to oversee the implementation and enforcement of its provisions. They suggest such a body should include authorising officers and public representatives to ensure effective waste management.
• Regarding Clause 14, Natural Justice proposes that businesses generating solid waste should be required to meet legal environmental obligations, such as conducting a full Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) Study or a Protect Report, before being licensed.
• For Clause 29 (2), the organization recommends that the Chief Officer must consult with the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA), specifically the County Director for Environment, when considering applications for the installation and operation of incinerators.
• Natural Justice contends that the general penalties in Clause 36 (1)—a maximum of Ksh. 200,000 and/or up to 2 years imprisonment—are too lenient, particularly for corporate offenders. They suggest penalties should be based on the extent of environmental damage and include the cost of restoration to serve as a deterrent.
