For hundreds of families in Elgeyo Marakwet, the stalled construction of the Sh66 billion Arror and Kimwarer dams has brought the pain of delayed compensation for the land they vacated to pave the way for the project.

More than 900 families were promised about Sh6 billion as compensation for land they would cede to the ambitious dams project that was to serve more than 50,000 people living in the Kerio Valley region.
