Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has revealed that the opposition will head to court to halt the establishment of a Ksh500 billion nuclear power station that is expected to be erected in Kilifi County.

Speaking in Malindi on Sunday, May 8, Kalonzo claimed that the opposition has directed lawyer Ndegwa Njiru to head to court and sue the government for laying plans to kickstart the project. "We have Ndegwa Njiru here, and we have directed him to head to court and refuse anything to do with nuclear power in Malindi," Kalonzo said.

Echoing Kalonzo, the former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua stressed that the establishment of a nuclear plant in the county will not only pose a significant risk to the lives of the Kilifi residents but will also mark the downfall of the economic vibrance, which is driven by tourism, of the county.
