A resident filed a case with the East African Court of Justice challenging Kenya's plan to build a 2,000-5,000 MW nuclear plant in Bondo, citing ecological risks and the transboundary nature of Victoria Lake. The project proceeded despite a 2023 Strategic Environmental Assessment warning about volcanic hazards, prompting legal action by human rights lawyer Dickens Ochieng. The case involves three nations sharing the lake, which supports 40 million people, and the project faces ongoing protests. The article was originally published on Mongabay.
