    "content": "EPL indicated that the discharge from LDK ends up in Athi River and later Tana River. It affects human, animal and plant life all the way to the Indian Ocean. This has been happening for the last 30 years. The areas that are supplied water by those two rivers form a big portion of the population of this Republic. EPL informed the Committee that the harm caused by the pollution include adverse effects on human, livestock, game animals, fish, water animals and plants. Effects are noted on the skin. There is possibility of getting skin cancer, respiratory issues or even death of people and animals. They also informed us that the environmental protection is a priceless cost for the environment is sustained for the future generation. The Government bodies should strike a balance between development and environmental sustainability since a destroyed environment will affect tourism which is the backbone of the Kenyan economy."
