High-End Hotel Shut Down by NEMA

National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) has shut down a posh hotel in Nanyuki for failing to acquire an effluent discharge certificate, a mandatory environmental license.
The hotel, which is located at the foothills of Mount Kenya, Nanyuki, moved to court seeking to bar the agency from arresting or preferring criminal charges against the hotel, its agents, or employees over the issue.
However, the hotel suffered a blow in court after Justice Mary Oundo ruled that the hotel had prematurely moved forward with the judicial review, subverting provisions of the Environment Management and Coordination Act (EMCA) and the Fair Administrative Action Act.
