There is still not much information about it out there. 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.
