May 25, 2024, 05:21 AM
A landslide at the Hillo Mine in the Dabel area of Marsabit County, Kenya, has resulted in the deaths of five miners. The incident occurred despite a government order to close the mine in March by CS Kindiki. The search and rescue mission is currently underway for any trapped miners. Additionally, two miners who suffered serious injuries have been hospitalized. Residents allege that miners bribe security officers to gain access to the closed site. The tragedy has drawn attention to the enforcement of mining regulations in the region. The incident took place in Moyale.
