    "content": "I will repeat the last sentence. The study report was submitted to NEMA on 13th August, 2014 for an in-depth review. A public hearing on the project was conducted on 6th November, 2014. This was followed by licensing of the facility on 27th November, 2014 to pave way for operations. On 9th April, 2015, NEMA inspectors visited the facility and realised that it was not adhering to the licence conditions in respect to pollution prevention. Consequently, on 4th May, 2015, the manager of the factory was issued with a closure order requiring him to close the factory recycling plant. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the honourable Senator sought to know whether the risks and dangers involved have been evaluated and explained to the residents. The environmental impact assessment of the factory was conducted and it outlined the impacts associated with the activities of the factory and even went further to propose measures the company was to adapt to mitigate the adverse impact. This report was put on the NEMA website and an advert put on the newspapers for the public to read and understand the risks associated with the factory activities and give their comments before NEMA licensed the factory. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
