Construction of Miwongoni River Dam in Machakos, Kenya to resume
Modified date:
Construction of US $3m Miwongoni River Dam in Machakos County, Kenya is set to resume. This is after the Environment and Lands Court set aside an order that stopped the project in July last year.
According to Justice Oscar Angote the injunctive order issued against the Athi Water Services Board was made out of misrepresentation of facts by a group of more than 200 residents affected by the project.
The Athi Water Services Board appointed Jiangxi Water and Hydropower Construction Company Limited to undertake the project and the contractor went on site to begin work. However, the area residents claimed interest in the land as Project Affected Persons who have homes and permanent amenities on the land and, as such, demanded compensation.

He has been cleared by the Registrar of Political Parties as an independent candidate despite his very public impeachment from the position of Governor of Kiambu early this year. The main question is: Is he eligible to run for the office of governor or any other political or State post
