Pollution at Lake Nakuru and Lake Victoria must Stop

Urge Mr. Mamo Boru Mamo, the Director General of NEMA to commit to stopping pollution in Lake Nakuru and Lake Victoria

Since December 2020, piles of dead Nile perch have washed up on the shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda and Kenya, threatening the livelihoods of the surrounding communities. 

In just one month, there were three incidents of fish dying in Lake Nakuru. Raw Sewage is contaminating our lakes, poisoning our fish, and threatening the health of consumers.

Greenpeace Africa demands NEMA to:

• Implement policies that regulate the disposal of industrial and municipal waste by ensuring that all waste is properly treated before disposal to avoid pollution. 
• Design and implement  proper waste management infrastructure including proper sewage and drainage systems for settlements near the lakes.
• Relocate sewage treatment plants in Lake Nakuru to a location that will not lead to the mixing of lake water and raw sewage whenever water rises in the lake.
