KAMPALA.The National Environment Management Authority (Nema) has commenced the restoration of a section of the Lake Victoria lakeshore protection zone at Ddungu Resort Beach in Mulungu, Makindye Division following the expiry of an Environmental Restoration Order issued to the developer.
The developer had erected a perimeter wall extending into the lake by about 100 metres. He had also developed beach waterfront within the protected Lakeshore zone, without the required environmental approvals ,resulting in degradation of the Lakeshore.
In April 2026, Nema issued an Environmental Restoration Order under section 130(1) of the National Environment Act,Cap 181 ,directing the developer to stop the unlawful activities,remove the illegal developments,restore the affected Lakeshore ,and vacate the protected area within the prescribed compliance period.
“As the compliance period expired without full implementation of the order ,Nema has undertaken enforcement action to restore the degraded Lakeshore in accordance with the law” Nema spokesperson Naomi N Karekaho ,said in a statement on Friday.
