MERU: Construction of the High Grand Falls dam - one of the Seven Forks hydro-electric power projects - at Kibuuka in Tharaka constituency is facing opposition from both local leaders and residents who want compensation of those who stand to be relocated.
Locals also fear they would be relocated to Kitui County and vowed to oppose the construction if at all they would be relocated to the nearby county. They asked the national government to look for alternative places within Tharaka Nithi County to relocate them, saying relocating them to Kitui would cause a crisis.
