Nyandarua deserves compensation for the exploitation of its natural resources where the locals do not benefit, Governor Francis Kimemia has said. The water from Lake Ol Bolo Osat, which main catchment is the Aberdare ranges, is consumed in Laikipia and North Eastern. Kimemia warned that exploitation of natural resources in Nyandarua has continually endangered sustenance of the county’s rich biodiversity. Kimemia reiterated that Lake Ol Bolo Osat has bio deposits, an environmentally friendly bio fertiliser which can be extracted sustainably and used to enhance agricultural productivity while enriching the quality of soils. She said the Aberdares and the lake Ol Bolo Osat are major tourists attractions and should be jealously guarded.
