The National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority has lost its bid to overturn a Sh517.4 million arbitral award related a Turkana dam project, locking in a payout that is more than double the project’s original Sh231 million contract price.

The High Court dismissed the authority’s attempt to set aside the award in favour of contractor J & K Investment Kenya, ruling there was no legal basis to interfere with the arbitrator’s decision.
