However, several days ago residents of Takawiri Island complained of sighting a vessel dredging and harvesting sand on the shores of Lake Victoria. While the full facts are still rather hazy, the fact that this is not the first such reported incident in the country raises concerns. A similar incident was reported on the shores of the Indian Ocean in Mombasa a few years ago.

Alarm as air pollution    levels exceed WHO limit

Daily Monitor Monday February 15 2021 Advertisement The display that started last week has triggered health anxiety among residents. The fear about the hazy skylines was worsened by the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) announcement last Monday that they detected pollution several times higher than the World Health Organisation (WHO) normal range of 25 microgram per cubic meters. “Results from our 23 air quality monitors across the city in the last 28 days indicate that average particulate matter (PM 2.5) is at 75 micrograms per cubic meter, [which] is 3 times higher than the World Health Organisation (WHO) cut off,” the KCCA said in a tweet on February 7.
