Speaking during a joint stakeholders’ forum by representatives from Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK), the Scrap Metal Council and scrap metal dealers, the company’s Managing Director and CEO Joseph Siror, cited a connection between local trade in waste copper and vandalism.
“Our investigations have revealed a direct link between vandalism and copper waste business. For example, between January and May 2022 when the government banned scrap metal dealing. we had zero cases of vandalism. However, immediately the moratorium was lifted, we saw a serious spike in vandalism cases,” stated Siror
