A Chinese road construction firm has been given 14 days to repair tens of damaged homes and a primary school in Mai Mahiu, Naivasha, or face court action. National Environment Management Authority (Nema) has indicted China Wui of destroying the homes and school while extracting road construction materials from a quarry in the area using explosives. Kihiu said the explosives that the firm was using might be too strong and not recommended by the authority. Area MP Jayne Kihara promised to raise the issue with the Parliamentary Committee on Environment to stop further exploration of road construction material in the area. “We are ready to follow the directives by Nema because we are law abiding citizens,” said the manager.
