A proposed Sh500 billion nuclear power plant project in Siaya County faces a new legal challenge after a petition was filed in the Environment and Land Court in Kisumu.

• The petition seeks to halt irreversible construction, displacement, and financial arrangements until constitutional and statutory requirements are met.
• Filed by Francis Owino, the case targets several government bodies including the Attorney General, Ministry of Energy, and the Nuclear Power and Energy Agency.
• Concerns raised include potential impacts on Lake Victoria, land rights, public finances, and the need for transparent public participation and environmental assessments.
