Residents of Siaya County are legally challenging the proposed Ramula-Mwibona gold mining and processing project in Siaya and Vihiga County, demanding an immediate halt to related public participation processes.

• The locals, represented by Otieno Ogola & Company Advocates, submitted a formal objection to the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA).
• Key parties involved include Shanta Gold Kenya Limited, the company behind the project, and the affected residents.
• The law firm argues that Shanta Gold Kenya Limited has failed to disclose exact locations and parcel numbers, potentially exposing private and ancestral lands without proper consent from landowners or the County Government of Siaya.
