The enemy of the people is the act itself of improper disposal of electronic waste, it's a statement well outlined during the occasion to launch partnership between The Waste electrical and electronic equipments(WEEE) and Kenya Methodist university on 9th November 2024, held in Main Campus ground in Meru.

As the world quickly adjust to advancement of technology and part of it being electronic equipments, a reminder that improper disposal of E waste was an area left untouched, was once again posed to a community that has largely faced the wrath of Cancer with rapid growth of cases.

Dr Mwenda a environmental lecturer in the institution explained how simple routine of disposal of waste has contributed to the health problems currently, terming that burning of E waste has specifically contributed to some of respiratory disease.

"We are here to launch partnership with WEEE Centre and address proper disposal of E waste, improper disposal is the reason we have so many respiratory disease." Said Mwenda.

Mwenda further explained a chain that has made many prey.

"when we dispose this waste on the soil we contaminate it then we plant on the same soil and feed " Mwenda Added.

A world full of sick people is probably our own fault, WEEE facilitated speeches that acted as an eye opener of how human is busy feeding his own poison but what is the plan?

"The plan is to recycle so us they don't continue destroying lifes of Meru resident." Mwenda stated.

According to Nancy N'gethe Manager WEEE centre, KEMU has been a leader in terms of electronic waste hence the the next step was the facility to act as a recycle centre, this step according to her would Asher in more opportunities to students.

"We have started by addressing student and residents, community has brought to us some electronic waste." N'gethe said.

N'gethe shared the Partnership aims including a plan to have KEMU as a recycling center that would offer student learning and internship opportunities and solve the Meru community problem of improper disposal.

Environment problems are severe to be addressed leaving the main party out, According to NEEMA the partnership was a begining in efforts of addressing some of environmental problems, represented in the launch by Jesca Wanjiku, the environment regulator reminded the community of legal responsibility of taking care of environment.

"This is a begining of a journey to ensure we take care of E Waste, to ensure proper disposal, we have a responsibility to ensure ourselves a clean environment." Said Wanjiku.

According to Wanjiku, the lot numbers of cancer can be attributed to how we treat our environment.

"You ask yourself why we have many cases of cancer but you look back at how we dispose our waste". Added Wanjiku.

Speaking during the occasion, the campus Deputy Vice Chancellor Dr Eliab Soome, The partnership was largely to help the community.

WEEE efforts in addressing environmental issues is sure a small scope as far as the entire environment is concerned if we address beyond E waste then we realize further enough how messed up we are.

Improper disposal of other waste including chemical end products and so forth have made it to water streams, the very streams that you depend on every day for your water consumption and fishing.

Human ignorance and greed that has shifted everything from love among each other to love of money a very reason we are using all kind of chemicals to boast growth of our products and sell quickly.
We want it easy and easy come with a cost.

A call to embrace solutions journalism.
As press continue to sail amidst storm of advancement of technology, there's all need to embrace solutions journalism in day today presentations.
It's a call made by media council of Kenya coordinator Jackson Karanja during a journalist training program in Meru, on 6th of September, Karanja shed lighted on the need of Journalist adapting the style by ashering in solution to stated problems.

"A style that don't just report a crisis but also a solution,a matter like climate change a Journalist is not just giving as a problem but a solution to the stated problem." Said Karanja.

The last decade,press has witnessed several advancement including a notable one on technology, however few themes including Climate change, economic Crisis among others have clinged back over and over again on headlines, the council coordinator pushes for the need to use the style in addressing this very same issues.

David Muchui Chairman of Meru press club rallied up to echo Media Council efforts in offering trainings further asking the council to help in addressing the high rate of cancer crime and sexual and gender based violence by offering more trainings, linkages with organization, According to Muchui this will greatly help in fostering solutions which is the mandate of media.

"We appreciate the Media council of Kenya for holding this training to remind us on solutions journalism, in Meru incident like Cancer sexual and gender based violence are rising let the council support us by offering more trainings and linkanges" Said Muchui.

Every year fresh journalist are graduating from various institution, according to Mugure Riungu, who works with Royal media service the reminder on the style came the right time and it's important expecially to the new journalist, Riungu pushed further by urging the journalist to involve experts in their follow up.

"Training on such is important expecially because of the new journalist joining us from schools, we have been reporting on problems affecting the society but left out on seeking solution, let's engage expert if you report on cancer look for a researcher who best understand solutions." Stated Mugure Riungu.

The regulator body has been on the forefront in addressing journalist challenges, helding regular meetings with the journalist has created a plartform to address problems facing the press including a recent one on attacks and harassment,
" We have been witnessing series of attacks and harassment of journalist and we are calling out to different actors state and non_state actors urging them to respect journalist, press freedom is enshrined in constitution so let allow our journalist act in free and fair manner." Said Karanja.

In addition, the council addressed efforts to create platforms that will channel unemployed journalist to job opportunities, this was a response to there being large number of students who are graduating from various institution every year and rallying up for employment in the just few media platforms.

The media Council call on Solutions journalism knocks in a time when Press continues to straighten on few incidents that have been on rise in the last few months including press injustices, recent demos in various part of the country that paraded press in the forefront in efforts of gathering information.

As the world adjust to advancement in the technology, among the impact is the fear of Journalists that they will lose their job to the advancement, the council coordinator however steered a different view on that calling out for adjustments.

" We are living in times where we have advancement in technology, our call is embrace it, things like AI have not come to take our jobs from us they are there to improve our working as journalist." Said Karanja.

Other major issues that lay in the table Wait to be even further addressed include economic Crisis as the country forge to reconstruct another finance plan after the withdrawal of the bill and Health matters including Cancer and Monkey pox outbreak among other things.
