Indonesia says it won’t become yet another world “dumping ground” after it returned five containers of waste back to the US, joining the growing number of Asian nations to recently turn away Western ‘recyclables.’
The waste arrived in Indonesia from Seattle back in March. The cargo, shipped by a Canadian company, was supposed to contain paper recycling material, but the Environment and Forestry Ministry discovered multiple “impurities” inside five containers and ordered them to be “re-exported.”

Some countries have learnt self respect and are taking steps to improve themselves.
Can’t say the same for Kenya though.
I don’t know how it would have played out if it was Kenya in that situation, knowing how corrupt our people are, someone would have taken a bribe and that thing gets cleared through the port VIP style.

I have this theory that the British were dumping nuclear waste in Laikipia/North Eastern for the longest…
Kenya should offer North Eastern province as a vast international dumping ground. We can take in a lot of revenue from this!
Some Asian countries were shit holes in 1960s but saa hii wako mbele sana. Africa we are so screwed.
And perhaps create a chemical barrier between Kenya and all shabbabos? How creative?
