Speaking at Kitui town when she met the Mutitu Kaliku Multi-artisanal mining officials {MKM}, Governor Charity Ngilu said the exercise will be a significant source of employment and livelihood playing a critical role in poverty reduction and rural development.
“The blue iolite is of very high quality and can compare with the precious Tanzanite stone”. He said.
Noting that the miners were recently licensed through Governor Ngilu’s efforts, Wambua expresses hope and joy in the county government’s intervention and says mining will now present a primary livelihood employment for many in the area.
“We thank the Governor for helping us acquire a license, artisanal mining in the country has had challenges since 1930. We appreciate this big development”. He said.
The County Government trained 120 artisanal miners across the county in 2018 who will work in their groups with the support of the county and National Government, to engage in the extraction, value addition and marketing of gemstones which exist in big quantities in many parts of the county.
In her tour of the Kawala mining site of Mutitu in Kitui East recently, Governor Ngilu said “the county government will link the miners with relevant agencies for market linkage for the minerals”.
The county Ministry of Natural resources further invited land owners to allow mineral prospection in areas likely to be endowed with the precious stones. With the licensing of artisanal mining in Kitui, the Mining process has been made easy since the exercise only requires the consent of the land owner to allow extraction.
The licensing is a big relief to the miners following the formalization of the process and the withdrawal of middlemen in the business.

NAIROBI, 25th October 2020, (PSCU) – President Uhuru Kenyatta has led the nation in mourning one of Kenya's top lawyers Phillip Nzamba Kitonga who passed away on Saturday at the age of 64 years.
The late Philip Nzamba Kitonga
In his message of comfort to the family, friends, relatives and the legal fraternity, the President described the departed Senior Counsel as a constitutional law stalwart and a patriotic Kenyan with unmatched legal prowess.
"I am deeply saddened by the death of my friend Senior Counsel Nzamba Kitonga, a fine constitutional lawyer and a trailblazer whose successes in public service are finely documented.
"We all remember and are forever indebted to Nzamba and his Committee of Experts for midwifing the 2010 constitution and for his many exploits as a lawyer of high standing," the President eulogised.
The Head of State said the death of Kitonga is a major blow to Kenya especially now that the country is gearing up for fundamental constitutional reforms through the ongoing BBI process.
“Senior Counsel Nzamba Kitonga played a major role in the drafting of the 2010 Constitution and as a country we really needed his input as we take audit of it through the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
“It is extremely sad that the cruel hand of death has snatched him from us at a time when our country is entering a constitutional moment,” the President Kenyatta wrote.
President Kenyatta prayed to God to comfort and give fortitude to the family, relatives and friends of the late Senior Counsel as they come to terms with his sudden death.

Murder charge for officer who fatally attacked lawyer

The officer first alleged that the lawyer lured her to his house to introduce her to his wife to be. She alleges that the lawyer attempted to rape her.forcing her to fight him off using a machete.
He sustained severe injuries on his chest and hands, with one arm almost severed.
Police seemed to underwrite her version of the story until they made an about-turn later in the day and arrested her.
Investigators were waiting to hear the lawyer's side of the story to firm up their case against the claims made by the police officer that she attacked him in self defense. This will never happen now.
It remains a mystery whether the officer went to the lawyer's house with a machete or if she picked it from the house.
The lawyer was assaulted with a machete in his house by Nancy Njeri of Makueni Police Station.
Today, Mr Mutisya Mutia, who is the chairman of the Law Society of Kenya South Eastern Branch said Masaku succumbed to injuries inflicted on him today morning .
Mutia send condolonces to family members and all lawyers of the country .
He described Masaku as a hard working legal mind and his death is a shock and a great loss to this country .
However Mutia urged Kenyans to stop taking law into their hands and condemned the act of the police officer .
‘’ No one should loose life the way Masaku has’’, said Mutia
Mutia has promised that the society shall continue with case in court .
Laywer Masaku comes from Kathiani, Machakos County.
