KENYA-GOLD-MINING

A gold miner works in Kakamega, 395 kilometers from the capital in the western province of Kenya, on August 7, 2014. In this western region, gold mining by foreign firms started in the 1930s but came to an abrupt stop at the height of independence struggle in the early 1950s. Since then, it has mostly been done by individuals and small groups who sell the precious mineral in small quantities to middlemen.
