A ward representative has advised the county government to privatise garbage collection. Kirimari MCA Morris Nyaga said most of the county garbage collection vehicles had stalled.
Consequently, he said, garbage had piled up in Embu town and several estates, leading to an outcry from the business community.
Speaking in Embu town during a clean-up exercise sponsored by Tenrikyo Mission while it marked its 20th anniversary, Mr Nyaga told the county government to give tenders to unemployed youths to clean the town.
