City Hall could be losing millions of shillings in blown up payments made to contractors delivering garbage at the Dandora dump site .
This is because of lack of a functional weigh bridge to measure the amount of waste brought in at the site.
The county has been estimating the weight of garbage after its only weigh bridge broke down , giving room for corrupt deals, according to a report tabled before an assembly committee.
David Makori Chief environment Officer further told the committee that the estimates on garbage delivered by the various contractors vary in weight from the rainy season to the dry periods, with committee members saying the county government could be losing millions in collusion between corrupt officials who have delayed the installation of a new weigh bridge and some collectors.
City Hall is yet to install its new weigh bridge that currently lies idle at the Nanyuki Road yard, two years since its procurement through Gokhan Technical Services.
Makori told the House committee that bidders did not respond to an earlier public procurement tender for the ramp, delaying the installation of facility.
He added that the new weighing facility needs the new ramp because its configurations differ from the previous one used by the aging weigh bridge.
Nine firms are currently contracted by City Hall to deliver garbage at the dump site.
