By RICHARD MUNGUTIMore by this AuthorThe jobs of more than 1,000 employees of a food and stationery manufacturing company are at stake after the High Court dismissed a case opposing its closure. Kenafric Industries Limited (KIL), makers and exporters of sweets, food items, shoes and stationery, had challenged a closure notice issued by the Nairobi County government over pollution. NEMAShe said the court cannot ignore the consent entered on December 4, 2015 by Kenafric lawyer Kevin Mogen and Titus Koceyo, representing Nairobi County. Kenafric had denied the county's allegation that it is polluting the environment, saying all Nema rules have been followed. Mr Shah further states that the company applies to Nema annually for an impact assessment of their operations to ensure “they comply with various legislations”.
