Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi wants the national government to halt the Northern Collector Tunnel project in Murang’a County until counties at the Coast are consulted.
Yesterday, the governor demanded an audit of all environmental concerns raised as well as a proper impact assessment on how the project will affect water volumes of the Tana River. He also called for public participation for the affected counties. “Kilifi County relies heavily on the Tana River basin and once the basin is interfered with, it will affect quite a number of people.
