Kenya inching closer to building one of Africa’s largest dams

Kenya’s ambitious plans to build Africa’s second largest freshwater dam are inching closer to reality after the government resolved a procurement dispute which threatened to delay the project.

The High Grand Falls Dam, estimated to cost a whopping Sh200 billion, is one of the largest undertakings by the government after the Standard Gauge Railway project and is among President Uhuru Kenyatta’s legacy projects.
