A crisis looms in the mining sector as key stakeholders within the industry voice opposition to the government's recent efforts to implement strict laws to regulate the sector.
The Kenya Chamber of Mines (KCM) has criticised the government's recent initiatives targeting the mining sector, describing them as unjust and detrimental to the industry.
This comes just days after the Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Hassan Joho, ordered a raid on a warehouse in Nairobi, leading to the arrest of four illegal mineral harvesters.
The four individuals, comprising three Chinese nationals and one Kenyan, were apprehended as they allegedly prepared to sell minerals, including copper, lead, zinc, and iron.
