Senior officials managing two water companies are battling for the control of Maragua Dam in Murang'a County.

At the centre of the tussle is a Sh800 million water facility constructed by Athi Water Works Development Agency (AWWDA) which Murang'a South Water Company (Muswasco) and Murang'a Water Company (Muwasco) are seeking to control.
