The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) will not surrender 400 hectares of forest land, dealing a major blow to the implementation of the controversy-riddled Sh63 billion multi-purpose dams in Elgeyo Marakwet County.
The State agency pulled out of the land exchange programme for the Arror and Kimwarer dams multipurpose project after it was hit by corruption claims that are now under investigations by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
