West Pokot residents decry marginalisation in gold mining activities

A section of West Pokot residents are protesting over what they are calling a lack of due accountability, transparency and exclusion of a majority of residents in the county's gold mining activities. The irate locals who staged demos in Kapenguria accused some leaders of colluding with only one investor who is said to have been licensed to mine gold in the region. They are urging the leaders to prioritise communities over individuals when dealing with resources that affect the community and the county at large Connect with KBC Online; Subscribe to our channel: https://t.ly/86BKNc Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.om/KBCChannel1 Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kbcchannel1TV Check our website: https://www.kbc.co.ke/ #kbcchannel1 #news #kbclive
