Munye fuels Nandi, gold firm dispute with permit renewal
Summary
Petroleum and Mining Cabinet Secretary John Munyes has fuelled a dispute between a gold firm and Nandi County government after renewing its licence for 25 years.

The two accuse the company of exploiting the local community and had been pushing for the licence to be awarded to a different company.
