MPs have threatened to push for closure of London Distillers (Kenya) over claims of discharging toxic wastes into Athi River.
The
Environment and Natural Resources committee accused the management of
the alcoholic manufacturer of failure to comply with the environmental
watchdog directives.
Should MPs recommend the firm’s
closure, the Executive will be required to implement the resolution.
Parliament has a committee that follows implementation of House
resolutions.
On Tuesday, the committee, chaired by
Maara MP Kareke Mbiuki accused the distiller of failing to put in place
the latest technology in the management of waste from its factory. The
company employs 1,000 Kenyans, most of them at its Mavoko plant.
