The high level of silt in Lake Magadi has significantly reduced the quality of soda ash produced in Kenya, threatening the country’s export position and forcing Tata Chemicals to pay buyers millions of shillings in compensation.
Tata Chemicals managing director Jack Mbui said silt impurity had significantly reduced the international appeal of Kenya’s soda ash, hurting their business.
