The June 2019 article says:
“Visitors to national parks, beaches, forests and conservation areas will not be allowed to carry disposable plates, cups, straws, spoons, forks and water bottles, which are considered major environmental pollutants.
Plastics have become a major nuisance for the environment with many littering the oceans, forests and even blocking drainages.
Kenya outlawed the use of plastics carrier bags in 2016 and has been considering extending the ban to other single-use products.”
The ban will take effect on June 5, 2020.
