The national and county governments have been hit hard by the ban on mining activities at Jaribuni quarries in Kauma Sub County, Kilifi County. Kilifi County Commissioner Joseph Biwott said that the most affected projects included the construction of the Mombasa- Malindi highway, Mtwapa Bridge, the affordable housing projects and construction of grade nine classrooms among others in the region. In a meeting with mining stakeholders and the Secretary for mining at his office in Kilifi town, the administrator added that his team had discovered that 90 per cent of construction raw materials in Kilifi, Tana River, Lamu, Mombasa and Kwale counties come from Jaribuni area and the ban had led to stalled projects and high cost of construction materials. The ban was enforced by Mining, Fisheries, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs Cabinet Secretary Ali Hassan Joho three weeks ago after residents raised air concerns, and noise pollution from the mining and transportation activities.
