ANALYSIS OF CURRENT TRENDS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR ENGINEERING INNOVATIONS IN KENYA’S MUNICIPAL WASTE MANAGEMENT By Dr. Ali Adan

Everyone knows well that the Imperial British East Africa Company (IBEA) was granted a charter in 1888, which led to the colonization of the present-day Kenya. IBEA was transformed to the East Africa protectorate, then to the British Crown colony and then to the British colony. This history is important to mention because it is strongly linked to the colony agricultural and environmental matters. Precolonial and colonial periods, the indigenous communities were strong in their cultures, settlements, traditional food production systems, because the population was still small and the land available was sufficient for all purpose use. Similarly, waste management was not a challenge during the colonial period. Indigenous communities’ population density increased overtime, which became an impediment to the land, environment and the colonial state.
