Civil, Geotechnical and Groundwater Hydrology engineer, Charles Ceres has said that the Amaila Falls Hydropower Project (AFHP) as currently structured would be a heavy burden to taxpayers should it be given the go-ahead.
Ceres’ comments on the project were reported on Wednesday by the Ministry of the Presidency, a further sign that the government is trying to mobilise public opinion against the project. The matter has now come to a head as what was supposed to be a final facts-based review of the feasibility of the project by Norconsult has come out in favour of it going ahead.
