Authorities in Juja, Kiambu county have moved swiftly to take action after the incident that saw two people lose their lives in Juja dam.
Juja Sub-County commander, Phyllis Muthoni said the area is now a no go zone warning those that have been using the dam as a recreation point.
Muthoni said those that will be found in the area will be charged for environmental degradation charges.
“We have agreed with the Kiambu County government, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations and the public to ensure that no unsanctioned human activity is allowed around the dam past 6 pm. That place is not a sanctioned recreation site...in any case, the dam is on private land and no license has been given to allow its usage for public picnics," she said.
