Kenya: Japan rules out new cash for project

There will not be additional funding for the Sondu Miriu hydro-power project, Japan's ambassador to Kenya said October 18, according to Nation Media. The envoy, Mr Satoru Miyamura said his government had given the nearly Sh22 billion initially needed to complete the two-phased project, which begun in 1998 but stalled two years later. Mr Miyamura said: "We have disbursed all the money we were to give. There are no plans for extra disbursement."
