A dispute over the site of a proposed sewerage treatment plant for Meru town has been referred to the Environment Disputes Tribunal.

The Environment and Land Court sitting in Meru pushed the five-year-old case to the tribunal, saying it should be the first port of call for arbitration of such technical matters under the Environment Management and Coordination Act (EMCA), 1999.
