President William Ruto's administration has terminated a Ksh337 billion agreement with a private company for the construction of the High Grand Falls, which is located on the border of Kitui and Tharaka Nithi Counties.
The High Grand Falls project aimed to boost the country's electricity generation capacity and agricultural irrigation through the construction of an ultra-modern, large-scale multipurpose dam.
The multi-billion-shilling dam was expected to be procured through a privately initiated proposal by a United Kingdom-based infrastructure investment firm.
However, the National Treasury, in its Project Progress and Status Report dated July 5, 2025, has indicated that on July 2, this year, the government approved its termination per Section 43 of the PPP Act.
