The Dutch government has proposed to fund a scientific study to establish the impact of the Sh35 billion Malewa dam on Lake Naivasha, while hoping to bring to an end the protracted dispute between stakeholders and government agencies on the project funded by the World Bank.
In the dispute, the Government insists that construction of the dam would go on as planned in Nyandarua County, while a group of stakeholders which includes flower farms located around the lake claim the project would be a death knell for the water body. Stakeholders have on several occasions called for an independent environmental audit, which the Dutch Embassy in Kenya is now proposing to fund.
