Currently at the Lands and Environment Court at Eldoret taking a ruling on the same. The The Green Hand Organisation filed an urgent petition in the High Court protesting that if the programme was implemented, the right to a clean and healthy environment will be highly compromised. As an NGO we contend that the influx of about one million laptops annually would trigger a tsunami of electronics wastes in the country. We further argue that the components and raw materials used to manufacture such laptops contain large amounts of hazardous and toxic substances like lead, lead oxide, cadmium, mercury, polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBS) and Ruminated retardants (BFRs) that pose serious negative health consequences. Long live our Green Hand Irganisation. with Kiprop Arap Rutto, Ham Lagat, Elisha, Philemon Sabulei, Samson Cherargei among our other distinguished members The stakes are high!
