The ban on plastics has been hailed by the public, with #PlasticBanKe yesterday a trending subject on social media platforms. Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) made good use of the days in spreading the message, albeit sarcastically.
If you are caught with paper bags, just say you are on your way to surrender them #PlasticBanKe

The ban is meant to reduce negative impacts associated with plastics on environment, human and animal health, with the ministry announcing a fine of Sh50, 000 for anyone found with plastic bags after the ban next Monday, while manufacturers flouting will be fined between Sh2million and Sh4million. The ban came to effect Monday.
