Approximately ten acres of vegetation has been cleared at the site, to pave way
for construction of the school. Again excavators have been removing large
materials from the site. Several dump trucks have been transporting material
excavated from the road and construction site to an open field near Mitini
shopping centre. Residents have been informed that the same will be removed
as soon as a nearby land fill, which is under construction, is completed.
A construction worker at the site has confided in one of the community leaders
in Mitini village, that the sanitary facilities at the construction site are
insufficient. As such, waste from mobile toilets is dumped into a nearby
stream. Again, motor oil from the old construction machinery is dumped in the
same river. People living downstream can no longer use the water in their
households, for crops or even for livestock. Yet, agriculture is their mainstay.
Draw an articulate legal opinion for the residents of Mitini on the issues raised
herein and the legal redress available to them. (15 Marks)
