Solai dam owner, Mansukul Patel, is set for probe after the government kicked off an initiative to revisit dam licences throughout the country.
This comes only a few weeks after one of Mansukul's dams in his Solai farm in Nakuru broke its banks, sweeping way an entire village which led to up to 47 people killed.
Speaking to the press Friday, the Cabinet Secretary for Water Simon Chelugui said the move is aimed at eradicating possible tragedies in the future.
He said that the process will concentrate on dams built and run for other reasons apart from home usage, noting that firms whose dams will be confirmed strong and durable will have their documents renewed.
"We will revisit all the licences in the possession of commercial dam owners. Owners whose dams will be found to adhere to our standards and suitable for operations will have their licences renewed," said Chelugui.
On the other hand, he said, weak and dangerous dams will have their licences revoked, in line with the safety policy.
The CS added that proprietors who will fail to adhere to the new directive and proceed with their operations regardless of the condemnation will have their structures destroyed.
"Incase some sort of defiance is detected, we will move in and drain the condemned structures and bring down their walls to avoid future tragedies," he added.
Solai dam victims have since embarked on a journey to rebuild their lives after the unfatonate accident.
