A group of Luo Elders has unanimously rejected President William Ruto's proposed Ksh500 billion nuclear power plant project in Siaya County, citing significant health and environmental concerns across the East African region. This follows an earlier rejection of the project by residents in Kilifi due to similar fears.

• The elders formed a committee to investigate further consequences if the government proceeds.
• The project aims to generate 1,000 MW initially, scaling to 20,000 MW by 2040.
• Kenya Nuclear Power and Energy Agency (NuPEA) identified Siaya as the preferred site after the project was rejected in Kilifi.
• Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi, and Siaya Governor James Orengo had all endorsed the project.
