Experts have come out to clear the air on the survival of Lake Victoria.
According to experts who were speaking on Friday, the lake which is the largest fresh water lake in the world, is not collapsing
"The lake is facing threats but we have put in place measures to address them. East African Community members states are also working on programs aimed at reducing the stress on the lake. The lake can only die when we don’t have water," said Lake Victoria Basin Commission executive secretary Ally-Said Matano
Matano admitted that lake is faced with serious threats like increased pollution, declining fish stock and invasion by hyacinth weed.
He was speaking at Kisumu's Tom Mboya Labour College ahead of Saturday's Lake Victoria Basin Commission’s 10 year anniversary celebrations.
