Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya wants the Sh20 billion Mwache Dam project in Kinango, Kwale County, stopped until landowners are compensated.
Construction of the dam, expected to boost water supply in Kwale and Mombasa counties, is expected to start in March 2022. The dam will see 2,600 hectares of land put under irrigation in Kwale, according to officials.
