The government has assured residents of the Isulu and Bushangala areas in Kakamega County that they will benefit significantly from the newly discovered gold deposits, valued at Sh683 billion.

Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura stated on Monday that the Kenya Kwanza administration will ensure that households likely to be affected by the planned large-scale mining activities are adequately compensated before any relocation occurs.
