What you need to know:
- KWS said the wall was accelerating soil erosion and had therefore become a threat to the beach and sea life.
- Swazuri said action will be taken to prevent bigger disaster since many buildings along the beach could be brought destroyed due to soil erosion.
- Early 2016, Mr Briatore told journalists that he could not risk having his billion shillings investment swept away by the sea.
National Land Commission (NLC) chairman Muhammad Swazuri has protested over the building of a 100-metre wall along the beach next to the Malindi Marine National Park.
Dr Swazuri was reacting to complaints from Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officials, who said the wall was accelerating soil erosion and had therefore become a threat to the beach and sea life.
