The amount of trees that people have destroyed in the past 30 years is mind boggling. I can attest to money changing hands daily so that more trees can be cut. Very unfortunate incident. Even more unfortunate to make it a racist issue. It's a Kenyan tabia issue. From corruption all the way to destroying any tree you can lay your hand on. Sad But the dam has been there since colonial times. There are several dams in the farm. The one that burst is recent Must be this one. Coordinates on google maps -0.096924, 36.146400 . Seems like there was recent excavation, should be a recent dam at a high elevation. These dams were once forest areas. Those homes people died in were once forest areas. People like talking about Mau Forest. Take a walk in Subukia and see how tomatoes and french beans have taken over trees. When Koigi Wa Wamwere was complaining about this dam, he was removed. By the very same people now complaining. He was called against development. Sasa ona. And they will still go to church on Sunday to pray. Wacha uwongo we were not born yesterday Endeleeni kukata miti ovyo ovyo tu. Na mundelee kujenga mademu ovyo ovyo. Ngojeni serekal iwasaidie. @alma: Even our ancestors/fore fathers used to live in forests as hunter gatherers or practicing slash and burn the forest agriculture. That said this is purely an engineering issue. Patel may have been very greedy to store all the water and let very little into the spill-way causing the dam (barrier) to collapse due to the weight/force of the water. Yes. There are complaints of water hoarding, but proponents say that Gideon Moi had tapped water for all and sundry... Which makes me wonder, kwani this area is a beneficiary of how many people? What makes it a focus of so much 'help'? Looks like predominantly Kaleo Nope. Solai is okuyoland, where nakuru cownty borders baringo. All those interviewees (and victims) are nyomba.
