A Mombasa-based salt company has been ordered to pay a State agency more than Sh185 million for using seawater for commercial production of the commodity.

The Court of Appeal directed Krystalline Salt Limited to pay the Water Resource Management Authority (Warma) for pumping seawater from the creek in the Malindi area to dams and then to its private parcels of land for salt extraction.
