Govt issues mandatory requirement to obtain NEMA license for waste disposal

The court’s ruling, as delineated in Petition 3 of 2021 on August 3, 2022, has emphasised the importance of waste transporters in Kenya obtaining a National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) license. It insisted that such licensing is mandated by both the Environmental Management & Coordination Act 1999 and the EMCA Waste Management Regulations 2006.

The court clarified in its ruling that although some waste transporters contended that their licenses from County Governments sufficed, the NEMA license is an obligatory requirement.

“The Authority has noted that some waste transporters argue that since they had been licensed by the County Governments, they do not need the NEMA license. This is illegal!” said NEMA in a statement.

Moreover, this legal stance seeks to enforce adherence to environmental regulations and standards, thereby promoting effective waste management practices nationwide. The Authority highlighted that waste transporters operating without a legitimate NEMA license are liable to be arrested and prosecuted.

“The Authority wishes to notify waste transporters that they risk arrest and prosecution for operating without a valid waste transportation license issued by NEMA,” read the statement.
