Nairobi — Bamburi Cement has adopted environmental measures to prevent coal dust pollution in Mombasa County.

"In collaboration with the County Government of Mombasa, we have voluntarily suspended certain activities, implementing additional measures and forming a cross-functional committee," Bamburi said.

"In our commitment to compliance, we are conducting thorough reviews, enhancing community engagement, and maintaining normal operations," it added.

"We continue to engage with the County Government of Mombasa's Public Health, Environment departments, and other stakeholders, to arrive at a sustainable solution."
