Cabinet bans construction of industries in wetlands as it also directs that all industries must comply with environmental standards including gas emission and disposal of waste
Many industries have already been constructed in wetland areas and use the water system to dispose of wastage which has in most times ended up in Lake Victoria and other water bodies
The state minister in charge of the environment Beatrice Atim Anwar says anyone who licenses such industries will be prosecuted
Anywar also announced a total ban on manufacturing and usage of Kavera and treated poles for utility purposes.
