Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja confirmed over 3500 of “Green Army” environmental workers into permanent and pensionable positions the largest recruitment in the sector since 1987.
Speaking at Central Park during the handover ceremony, Sakaja said the milestone marked a turning point for the city’s cleanliness and environmental management.
“The last time environment sector personnel were hired was 1987.
This is the biggest number ever.
What we are doing today is historic.
Now you have permanent and pensionable jobs after your diligent work keeping the city clean,” Sakaja confirmed.
Sakaja urged the Green Army to maintain discipline, order, and commitment.
“The city must be cleaned daily that is now your obligation.
Have shifts, cover every neighborhood, and use the equipment we’ve provided, including machines, tippers, and compactors,” he said.
He also revealed plans for the Green Nairobi Company, an autonomous body that will manage city cleanliness like Nairobi Water handles water services.
