Taxpayers are facing a Sh390 million payout to an Indian consultancy firm that designed the multi-billion shilling Mwache Dam project at the Coast after the Attorney-General lost a legal battle over unpaid consultancy fees and interest.

The High Court ordered the government to settle a 14-year-old debt owed to Consulting Engineering Services (India) Private Limited for feasibility studies, designs and tender documents prepared for the flagship water project.
