Residents of Baraniki village in Kikuyu, Kiambu county have lost a bid to secure orders prohibiting a Chinese company and other stone miners from quarrying in the area because of environmental pollution.
In the case filed at the Environment and Lands Court in Thika, residents claimed that the National Environment and Management Authority (Nema) and the Kiambu county government had allowed uncontrolled quarrying in total disregard to the law.
