    "content": "February, 2007. I am also aware that the factory was re-opened under very clear circumstances. (c) As an immediate measure to ensure that there are no health hazards emanating from the factory to the Kikuyu Town residents, NEMA issued a closure order on 28th May, 2012 after an inspection conducted on 24th May, 2012 established that the factory had failed to sustain air pollution control measures. An inspection conducted by NEMA on 26th June, 2012 confirmed that the factory had complied with the restoration order and issued a temporary lifting of closure notice on 28th June, 2012. The second inspection conducted on 5th October, 2012 to review the status of the factory based on the conditions given to the management on 28th June, 2012 as a prerequisite for permanent closure notice established the following:- 1. a new induction furnace was under installation; 2. containment of fugitive furnace oil at the offloading point; and, 3. paving of rolling mill section was at 80 per cent completion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a third inspection of the facility on 8th November, 2012 confirmed that the induction furnace is fully installed and operational. It was also observed that the smoke, which was hitherto the subject of complaint and therefore the issuance of the stop order, had drastically reduced and was no longer visible. Finally, NEMA will in due course lift the stop order initially issued to the factory while at the same time closely monitoring its operations to ensure that no further environmental pollution of any nature is occasioned by its activities. This will be achieved by making sure that the factory submits regular reports on air quality measurements and annual environmental audits to NEMA. Frequent compliance inspections will also be undertaken."
