Kenya's Senator Hamida Kibwana has called for a review of the 2017 plastic bag ban, urging stricter measures to combat plastic pollution. The senator highlighted the need for updated policies to address new sources of plastic waste, which continue to challenge environmental efforts in the country. Kibwana emphasized that while the existing regulations have had some impact, they are no longer sufficient to tackle the growing problem. The debate comes as Kenya remains one of the few countries in the world to have successfully banned single-use plastic bags. Environmental groups and local authorities are now under pressure to implement more comprehensive strategies to reduce plastic waste and promote sustainable alternatives. The senator’s proposal could lead to new legislation aimed at improving waste management and public awareness.
