    "content": "Currently, collectors can operate without being registered so they have no licence. They can move from one town to another in search of scrap metal. There is also a loophole that has allowed many to acquire scrap metal in black markets nationwide from people who vandalize public properties. The biggest problem of scrap metal sector as we speak now is vandalism of public property, mostly public infrastructure. This vandalism has a lot of cost. For example, the Government has to spend millions of shillings in trying to repair or replace public infrastructure that has been vandalized. This is reversing the good work that has been done by the Government. For example, the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA) reports that it spends about Kshs120 million annually on repairs of just two roads; Mombasa and Thika roads to replace facilities that have been vandalized by scrap metal thieves along those roads. This is a lot of money that should have been used for repairs, maintenance and construction of new roads."
