The bad manners Kenyans exhibit daily were discussed on Classic 105 after Nairobi County passed the Public Nuisance Bill 2021. Many called the rules and regulations timely because things are out of hand.
Blowing your nose without a handkerchief or tissue paper in Nairobi, will attract a fine of between Sh10,000 and Sh500,000 or an imprisonment term of between six to 12 months.
This also applies to when you are caught urinating in undesignated spaces, spitting on the streets, sleeping in kitchens or food stores, among other misdemeanours.
These rules are contained in the Nairobi City County Public Nuisance Bill, 2021 that has now been signed into law.nairobi_
KOT told Maina Kageni what other things should be criminalized after he asked “There are very heavy fines coming your way if that is your behaviour, what else should people be jailed for?’
Forgetting to flush the toilet
chewing gum and leaving it under the table
kutoa makamasi in public
making noise when you chew
Men in public buses squeezing against a womans behind
People who put dirty plates in the sink with leftovers
Men who drop urine on the floor
Blowing the nose and opening the hanky to see what is there
Kunyonga kwa stage by wababa
Polluting in public and pretending it’s not you – kunyamba ovyo ovyo
