Journey back into the history of slavery. I think we will truly be making progress when we all accept the used to have slavery as all of our history. Our documentary series slavery routes starts march 9th on g. W. Every morning thousands of scavengers stream to the done door a dump site in the kenyan capital nairobi the people here try to and if you dont as a day to help make ends meet gangs and cut tells us that to control the landfill its a dangerous place especially for children like richie. Doing the grown for. A boy was killed over there. If you go there theyre still from you and when they do theyll make sure to maim you too long. For richie trash is a lifeline for others its a multimillion dollar business. In. The current gotcha slum awakens before dawn some of the children head off to school 12 year old richie spice a monday and his mother have lived here their entire lives richie wishes he could join the other kids but the last time he went to school was 3 years ago. Or local rules been so long that i can barely remember to school and. Instead of getting an education and playing with other children richie has to go to that indoor a dump site where he tries to make a living by picking and selling plastics. Poor and. I have to go to the dump site because we are poor. And i cant go to school because i cant afford the school Field Services who. Used to try to go to school anyway but every time i was sent back home. I was told i have debt to pay so and so what choice do i have. While her son goes to collect waste maureen who is sick and cannot walk stays behind the single mother is 8 i. V. Positive and feels constantly weak despite medication. She says because of the stigma attached to the disease she and her son are treated like outlaws in their own community. I took when i was in a little time when im so desperate that i just start crying i ask myself what kind of life do i have will there ever be a day when i will be healed well ill be like everyone else there are times when im angry. She says she is plagued by a guilty conscience for not being able to send her son to school and by fear for his safety. Its like the dumpsite has demons who ask for blood to face. There are days when there is just too much evil in me seriously you hear of people killing each other someone stabbed someone else with a knife or killed someone with a bottle. Sometimes you also hear the trucks just reverse without paying attention and run someone over. When he goes off i can only pray to god to protect them and to look out for him because on the dump site many bad things happen. Its every man for himself at the dump site hes scared of the older boys and men who try to steal the waste he has collected. Just yesterday he was attacked a traumatizing experience. I was. A wall full circle plastic. Something told me i should hide it. Were going to move it when i came back for it i thought a guy called take my son. I told him. This is my. Side a truck. It was about 7 in the morning. I dont know if he was sent by the devil. He beat me up until 10 oclock that evening. A climate of fear has taken hold on the site which the authorities declared full in 2001 and which was supposed to be closed down years ago. Its the capitals only official and technically belongs to the local government but instead of government offices so the people here say gangs control the landfill. In his. Own they have established rules that everyone who wants to enter the dumpsite has to abide by. Theres a strict picking high. And one has been a scavenger for 6 years knows the valuable trash belongs to the gang leaders and those collecting for them. This is what we know the rules of this place you know if you want to work here you have to abide by them you should never pick from a truck you want supposed to pick from you must wait for them to finish taking everything they want otherwise its just outright war. That truck is reserved for someone else right richie and then youll be beaten up if you try to scavenge and that one you know who it belongs to its already owned but its not any of us scavengers have to follow the rules its also the Truck Drivers who bring in an estimated 850. 00 tons of waste here every day we are told that they are charged an illegal security and offloading fee of 5 to 7 dollars depending on how much trash they have to dump. What. Have you already paid for security for you when you come in thats when you paper everything at the gate. Of. The gangs at the site overseen by socalled dumpsite lords we find one his willing to speak to us anonymously. Its the gangs that control the dumpsite we cannot just let anyone from outside come and pick the garbage. That was what we called the revolution overthrowing of the leadership of the dumpsite. The gangs fought each other it was many people against one another. Around 14 to 15 people died at that time. People fought with machetes they were slaughtering each other it was a bad time. Those who took over are the ones who are controlling the dumpsite now but the current leadership is just waiting for a mutiny in another power struggle for control. The dumb side lord says its not the gangs running the damn site him make the big money its the people they are answer to the garbage cartels networks of private companies and sub contractors that secure the lucrative government contracts for Waste Management these contracts are known to be worth millions of dollars. There are the cartels powerful people if you openly speak out about the dealings theyre involved in youre in danger. They all hide how they make their money but they own the government contracts. For anyone in kenya to get anything you have to pay. More used to it. Even these contracts coming in return for kickbacks. That garbage is a lucrative business is no secret in kenya where one 3rd of citizens live below the poverty line. The governor of nairobi mike some call and other senior officials have been accused of making irregular payments for Garbage Collection Services amounting to 3500000. 00 the ethics and n. D. Corruption commission has accused the governor himself of exempting large bribes. Since kenyon no forbids the commission from discussing cases which are before court we asked the head of the commission. To comment on corruption surrounding tend towards in general. It is a serious problem because it involves a lot of money its easier because it is the private companies that are doing business with government thats part of the of the guards and this problem because when it involves big money some of the private companies are willing to part with big money and bribe the Public Office people can do it on requirements because were looking at a company we deliberately. Says that bribery is not the only form that corruption takes off and the price of the job itself is deliberately inflated. To be distant or supposed to cost. 800 meter shillings it is deliberately skewed to cost 1000000000 on sale and leave the 200000000 hes been shared between some some government offices were involved at the time to award. The Government Department in charge of awarding the garbage contracts declined to comment give us an intervening. Deep inside the dumb side richie has been granted permission to pick plastics to sell in return for filling one of the banks with the valuable trash. His own sack is not full yet he must keep going if he and his mother tonight. And theres only one of many people who have asked the government to step up and improve the livelihoods of the people and. The government should create jobs yes this is work but you find educated people working here they arent supposed to be here and what about our children ive struggled to get my children educated ive endured this hardship so that they can go to school and then where do i find my child ending up back here. See that makes us sad with. Finally the bags full time to weigh the pickings of the day. By there is no other way for richie and his mother to make a living they havent given up hope yet. For richie to get an education to know that he has passed his exams and is now flying away that would be my joy. But not for him to spend his whole life at the dump site because that is no life. I only want to be a pilot nothing but a pilot. Thats what i want to be sure. The wheels of justice us know in kenya there is no saying how long it will take for corruption in the tendering system to end for the gangs to stop intimidating nairobis poorest and put conditions at the dumb side to improve. Today ritchie has collected 5 kilograms of plastic he is going home with 75. 00 shillings thats less than one us dollar tomorrow he will be back. She says her greatest luxury is.
