A littering law finally being enforced, 10 years after it was first put in place in the city of Kampala, Uganda. New Year's Day was the first day that the law was first enforced. Before the law was enforced there were clogged drains and trash scattered along the roads, but now the roads are cleaner than ever. The cause of this is that there has been about 40 people arrested and most of them had to clean the roads, streams, and drains as community service. Some residents believe it was about time that something was done to clean up the city. However others think that there should have been more warning to the sudden change and that citizens should been told more often what laws are enfoced these days. Sadly it is said that the streets will not be completely clean for long as previous attepts to enforce laws similar to this one have failed.Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-16433091
