A family has been forced to dig up three bodies of their relatives to pave way for the construction of a dam.

The family from Gathanji village in Gatundu North is one of 600 households that will be displaced by the Sh24 billion Karemenu Dam which is being funded by the Government of Kenya and China Exim Bank.
