Makueni sand wars slowly returning under curfew

Illegal sand harvesting along river banks in Makueni County is slowly creeping back, thanks to the dusk-to-dawn curfew imposed to curb the spread of Covid-19.

Although the county has put in place a sand authority that has been overseeing activities across the many rivers, it faces a new headache: sand harvesting is now being done during the 7 pm to 5 am curfew period.
