Members of the National Assembly Committee on Environment, Forestry, and Mining on Tuesday, March 11, resorted to conducting an extensive stakeholders' engagement before the construction of the proposed Ksh500 billion nuclear power plant in Kilifi commences.
The decision was arrived at during the session after a majority of the committee members agreed with the proposal, and just a few opposed it.
Those who backed the project cited its potential benefits to the national economy as had been demonstrated in other developing countries. "Let us not kill something that has been invented elsewhere and helped others; we only need to come up with a plan to fill the gaps in some of our observations.
This is a national project involving taxpayers," Kacheliba MP Titus Lotee noted.
