The community has also expressed concerns about the incinerator<\/a>’s odour, which they claim is unpleasant and affects their quality of life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The incinerator<\/a> has also affected the local economy, with some residents reporting a decline in their livelihoods due to the pollution<\/a>. The contamination of Lake Victoria has affected the fishing industry<\/a>, leading to a decline in fish stocks and affecting the income of those who<\/a> depend on it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
