A multibillion-shilling oceanfront housing project is facing opposition from Nyali residents on health and loss of business grounds. The Sh3 billion project has the approval of the National Environmental Management Authority after it received an environmental and social impact assessment report from Envasses Environmental Consultants. According to Nyali residents, it is wrong to have such a massive construction on the oceanfront. But residents say there was no public participation and that most of those contacted to discuss the project do not live in the area. John William says they have multiple grievances and maintains there was no environmental impact assessment before the project was started.
