Abstract

Environmental abuses in Kenya `triple satanic depravity'. Nothing brings this assertion to the fore more than the recent Nation Newspaper's investigative pieces on environmental abuses in the Lake Victoria aptly intituled `Lake of Poison'. The diabolical nature of environmental abuses in Kenya rings true when one thinks back to the Owino Uhuru slum lead poisoning case which has led to the loss of several lives and continues to threaten the existence of an entire village. Memories of Solai dam disaster which left 48 people dead in its wake and a trail of destruction of apocalyptic proportions in May 2018 remain fresh. The insidious threat to life and limb on dining tables in Kenyan homes came to the fore when NTV in late 2019 ran an expos\' titled the `Toxic Flow' on pollution of Nairobi River. The documentary detailed how toxins pumped into Nairobi River by industries find their way into food and water consumed by Kenyans.
