A witness in the trial of former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich has told the court that the controversial dams' projects had all the necessary approvals before they began.
Gideon Rotich said the National Environment Management Authority (Nema) gave approval to the implementing agency to proceed after it became satisfied that all environmental conservation conditions had been met.
