Background

In 2004, the Kasese Cement Plant shut down for a month because locals raised concerns over the air pollution.[1] It is unclear what changes were made but in 2013 after health complaints, Hima installed a bag filter to mitigate fumes.[2] More recently, in 2022, a fire killed three workers and injured eight while they were working on a light diesel oil tank.[3]
