Beijing has a resident population of 22 million people.
Kenya has its dumpsite located in Dandora, which has been linked to environmental hazards.
Another observation made by a Kenyan journalist Zachary Githuku was that, “all roads are like our Thika Super Highway. Only that they are well maintained.”
“There is no dust such that you even don’t need to leave your shoes outside your room,” he pointed out.
The roads are cleaned on a weekly basis to ensure they remain habitable for both the locals and visitors.
Along all roads; footpaths, highways and small lanes leading to hotels and estates, trees have been planted.
“Beijing is greener than our city (Nairobi),” the journalist observed.
Solar panels have also been installed along some routes to light the streetlights at night.
Yes, even in Beijing there is a little bit of traffic, but the serene environment outside will make you not to complain.
The challenge that Nairobi County Government has is to sustain the hastened beautification of the city ahead of the coming of the United States President Barack Obama.
