This is an exciting and must read expose' on how poor development practices can be planned at the expense of our dear environment. Although development is meant to improve our livelihood, we do not expect the same development practices to affect the environmental conditions prevailing at the time. If there are changes to the environment, positive mitigation models should be formulated to redress the situation. River Ewaso Nyiro is a major river in Kenya whose tributaries flow from Mt. Kenya and the Aberdare ranges. This river is a lifeline to many nomadic communities who derive their livelihood from this river. The building of the mega dam along the river sounded very noble but it should be balanced in a such a manner that it does not affect but improve the livelihood of these vulnerable communities. There is therefore need to carry out a scientific study on how best this can be addressed before the actual implementation. Environment Impact Assessment (E.I.A) balance between the current activities for the betterment of the current and future generations. I am inviting scholars who care about our future to read this exciting publication. Enjoy your reading.
