OWINO UHURU DWELLERS TO WAIT LONGER FOR PAYOUT IN LEAD
POISONING CASE
VICTIMS OF LEAD POISONING IN THE OWINO UHURU SLUM IN CHANGAMWE,
MOMBASA COUNTY, WILL HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER FIVE MONTHS TO FIND
OUT WHETHER THEY WILL BE PAID SH1.3 BILLION IN COMPENSATION
AWARDED BY A COURT TWO YEARS AGO. THIS WILL ALLOW THE COURT OF
APPEAL TO ANALYZE ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST THE COMPENSATION AS
SUBMITTED BY THE STATE AND THE VICTIMS. THE ENVIRONMENT AND LAND
COURT IN MOMBASA IN 2020 ORDERED THE STATE TO PAY THE BILLIONS
AFTER FINDING OUT THAT THE SLUM DWELLERS SUFFERED IRREVERSIBLE
HEALTH CONDITIONS WHILE OTHERS DIED.
BUT THE STATE, AGGRIEVED BY THE AWARD, APPEALED TO OVERTURN THE
DECISION. IN THEIR FINAL SUBMISSIONS, THE VICTIMS URGED THE COURT
OF APPEAL TO FIND THAT THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND PRIVATE
COMPANIES SUED IN THE MATTER WERE PROPERLY FOUND LIABLE FOR THE
POLLUTION IN THE SLUM THAT AFFECTED THEIR HEALTH. THEY ARGUED
THAT THE DOCEMENTS PRESENTED IN COURT PROVE THAT THE
ENVIRONMENT WATCHDOG NEMA, ALLOWED METAL REFINERY(EPZ) LTD TO
OPERATE WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING THE NECESSARY LICENCE. THEY SAY
NEMA KNEW ABOUT THE POLLUTION BUT REFUSED TO TAKE ACTION UNTIL
THE SLUM DWELLERS STARTED EXPERIENCING THE EFFECTS OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
