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," Juja Sub-County Commander Phyllis Muthoni said.
