The proposal to construct a Sh23 billion 61-floor luxury hotel and residential facility in Watamu, Kilifi County, has hit a snag after the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) declined to approve the project’s environmental impact assessment (EIA) report.
Nema acting director general Mamo Mamo said the agency was unable to issue EIA report licence for the project dubbed “Palm Exotjca” under the provision of Environmental Management and Coordination Act.
