| dc.description | Regulatory enforcement and industrial non-compliance
are very familiar issues in environmental protectlon and
water resource management. Current thinking recognizes
the insufficiency of the traditional regulatory enforcement
structures that are based orthodox deterrence theory.
There are, therefore increasing shlfts among some
industrialized countrles towards "new regulatory reglmes"
that focus on management styles, and forms of selfregulation,
based on innovatlve and incentive devlce.
However, the orthodox instruments remain the principie
means for regulatory enforcement among many developing
countries.
Our goal in this paper ¡s to examine the effects of these
(traditional) regulatory enforcement instruments on firm'
compliance to wastewater standards in Kenya. We (i)
examine the state of wastewater regulatory compliance
and infractlons; (ii) construct and estímate a model of
enforcement incidence based on monitorlng, inspections,
warning letters, and court prosecutions; and (iii) discuss
the linkages in the enforcement framework, and behaviour
of firms). We use primary and secondary data from 53
industrial plants across 5 urban areas. The results of our
model help us to identify flaws In the existing regulatory
and enforcement "reglme". | |
