Ogola 298 Report 13the vicinity of the project. The Maasai cultural centre is a manyatta started for business purposes andis located on Ngati farm and hence unauthorised. There is still pending a dispute between the farmand the manyatta owners. The project will not extend to the cultural centre.However, the KWS should engage a professional archaeologist or historian to try to identify suchresources and evaluate their value to the area and society at large. The most important sites in HellsGate are geological formations like the Central Tower, Fischer’s Tower, Ol Jorowa gorge, obsidiancaves and areas of thermal manifestations, none of which the project will interfere with.4.12 Summary of impactsFrom the above, an impact matrix based on temporal, spatial and severity scale has been developed asshown in Table 8, using the following criteria:a. Scale and/or significance of the impact?b. Probability and/or frequency of occurrence?c. Duration of the impact?d. Potential regulatory or legal exposure?e. Difficulty and/or cost of changing the impact?f. Effect of change on other activities and processes?g. Concerns of interested parties?h. Effect on the public image of KenGen?TABLE 8: Impact matrix, developed for the Domes projectTemporal scale Duration (years)Short term 0-5Long term 5-20Permanent 20+Spatial scaleMatrixHousehold/individual 1Hells Gate location 2Municipality 3Regional 4National 5Severity scaleMatrixLarge positive impact +3Moderate positive impact +2Slight positive +1No impact 0Slight negative impact -1Moderate negative impact -2Large negative impacts -3The summary of the socioeconomic indices and associated impacts is displayed in Figure 18 and inTable 9. The values on the X-axis in Figure 18 represent the spatial scale as shown in Tables 8 and 9,while the values on the Y-axis represent the severity of the impact as illustrated in Table 9. Theseverity is presented on a scale between -3 to +3, the maximum impacts (negative and positive). Fromthe above summary, it is clear that positive impacts, though short-term, outweigh negative ones.

One such institution is Orpower. Oserian built 3 primary schools, ashopping centre and health facilities for its 6,000 workers. Members of the LNGG have alsocontributed generously towards construction of schools and health facilities and by makingcontributions to the Naivasha Street Children’s Home among others. Several institutions havecontributed generously to different causes but all the contributions cannot be highlighted in this study.One of the most outstanding individual contributions is by Peter Robertson and it goes beyondphysical and financial values. Mr. Robertson is not only constructing a new permanent classroombuilding for the Narasha primary school but ensures that teachers reach the school in good time byproviding transport, and also to visit the school children and assess their progress.
