Question

Kipingo is a factory that processes mangoes into juice, syrup and other products. The factory employs many local people. It discharges waste water that is not within the standard limits set by EMCA 1999. Compliance with the law would require changes in technology that can only be done over a number of years.

How would NEMA ensure that Kipingo factory is compliant with EMCA 1999?
