A mounting pile of waste from medical stores in New England Ville has stirred public outrage, blocking streams, emitting noxious odors, and posing significant environmental and health risks to the community.

An investigation by this publication has confirmed residents’ longstanding complaints that the unchecked waste has disrupted water flow in nearby streams and impacted pedestrians, churchgoers, and local businesses.

Attempts to reach medical store officials for comment were met with reluctance, raising further frustration among residents who argue that authorities have ignored their pleas for waste management solutions. Although government funds were reportedly allocated for constructing a protective fence to keep waste out of the nearby stream, the project has not yet commenced.

Local businesses and residents have consistently called on the medical stores to install a designated waste container, a measure that would allow timely collection by municipal garbage trucks on scheduled days. Community members have pointed out that other institutions in the area have implemented similar measures, reducing environmental hazards and improving waste management.

In a related issue, nighttime disturbances have been reported around the New England/Jomo Kenyatta Junction, where groups of unidentified youths allegedly gather, using tables as shelters and reportedly breaking into shops after hours. Despite repeated protests and public outcry, residents remain skeptical that this latest call to action will bring lasting change.

“Nothing has worked so far,” said one local business owner. “We’re left wondering: will this time be any different?”

The community awaits a response, urging swift action from both medical store authorities and local government to address these ongoing issues.
