Kenya Makes World's Toughest Ban As Users Of Plastic Bags Faces 4yrs Jail Term by CharleyBright(m): 6:40am On Aug 29, 2017 |
Kenyans producing, selling or even using plastic bags will risk imprisonment of up to four years or fines of $40,000 from Monday, as the world's toughest law aimed at reducing plastic pollution came into effect. The East African nation joins more than 40 other countries that have banned, partly banned or taxed single use plastic bags, including China, France, Rwanda, and Italy. Plastic bags, which El-Habr says take between 500 to 1,000 years to break down, also enter the human food chain through fish and other animals. In Nairobi's slaughterhouses, some cows destined for human consumption had 20 bags removed from their stomachs. Kenya's law allows police to go after anyone even carrying a plastic bag. But Judy Wakhungu, Kenya's environment minister, said enforcement would initially be directed at manufacturers and suppliers. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/kenya-just-imposed-the-worlds-toughest-law-against-plastic-bags-a7916146.html |
