Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) risks losing an expansive land where a major hydro-electric plant is located for lack of title deed, the auditor-general Nancy Gathungu has warned in the company’s latest annual report.

In her assessment, Ms Gathungu says the land on which the 106-megawatt hydroelectric power station, whose construction was completed in 1991, does not have ownership documents, exposing it to grabbers.
