Reclamation of riparian land at Kibarani dumpsite stopped forthwith

30th July, 2018

The reclamation of riparian land at Kibarani dumpsite, Mombasa, has been stopped forthwith and "massive corruption" cited as the driver. The National Assembly Committee on Environment, led by committee chairman Kareke Mbiukihas toured the site and asked CS Koriako Tobiko to oversee the orders. Mbiuki further said the National Land Commission should state whether the land is public or private as eight acres of the sea have been claimed. Mombasa county has said the dump site will be closed as the trash is killing aquatic life but the proposed site ? Mwakirunge ? is a flight path. In addition, a container freight station has been built on the already reclaimed land. UNESCO has warned that Mombasa won't be an Island if the trend goes on; only 100 meters of the sea remains. WARMA and NEMA stopped the reclamation but the orders have been violated.
