Why This Exists
Kenyan projects stall or get fined because NEMA's permit thresholds, EIA requirements and environmental rights are hard to establish up front. Operating without an EIA carries serious penalties, so knowing which category a project falls into is worth more than knowing the law in general.
Install
pip install mazingira-mcp
