{UAH} Environment Pollution Tax

Besides revoking and canceling all land titles in wetlands, those who are settled wetlands and on the shorelines of Lake Victoria should start paying 0.55 tax, equivalent to their property value (2011) plus 0.05 fee equivalent to the property value payable to National Forest Authority or NEMA.. The tax will be progressive for those who have property on Lake Victoria shoreline of all categories (residential, beaches, recreational and hotels etc.). By shores I mean NEMA 100 metres radius along of water bodies (Lake) and 50 metres on streams, subterranean water streams, water springs and rivers within the Greater Kampala Area and all along the shores of Lake Victoria within the territory of Uganda.

In addition, those property owners must have 75 % of their premise land surface, restored and covered with indigenous trees and/or paleo-ecology as it existed before the property was turned into other use.  By paleo-ecology I mean letting the flora and fauna flourish and have a total right of way on that premises.

The Baltic sea, that is the ocean between Sweden and Russia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland was polluted last century with industrial pollutants. For now sixty years, Sweden and other countries with all their scientific rigour and money have tried spending billions of dollars to clean this ocean to no avail. The entire economy based on marine ecology was knocked out!
