Omtatah wants NEMA DG punished for contempt in Affordable Housing project
Senator Okiya Omtatah has moved to court seeking to have the Director-General of the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), Dr. Mamo Boru Mamo, cited and punished for contempt of court. The Senator argues that despite clear and binding conservatory orders staying the ongoing construction of the Southlands Affordable Housing Project pending a ruling scheduled for February 5, 2026, NEMA proceeded to issue an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Licence on December 16, 2025, just five days after the orders were made.
