Devki Group of Companies has won unanimous approval from shareholders of Kishushe Ranch to begin mining in Taita Taveta County, clearing a local consent hurdle that has stalled projects in the area.
The go ahead came at a special general meeting attended by county and national officials, investors and community representatives, according to local reporting. Andrew Mwadime called the vote a turning point for a county that sits on mineral deposits but has struggled to attract big industry.
Harry Kimutai told the meeting the project must comply with the Constitution, the Mining Act and other regulations, framing it as a test of responsible investment.
