Plans to generate 58 megawatts of electricity from the geothermal-rich area of Naivasha are facing delays due to political interference from leaders in Narok County.

In response, the Naivasha sub-county security team has issued a warning to a Member of Parliament-whose name was not disclosed-from Narok, urging him to stay away from the multi-billion-shilling project being developed by a private company.
