Kenya’s cabinet secretary sparks protest over rare earth project, with local leaders accusing him of skipping public input.
Kenya’s Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho faces backlash over the proposed Sh8 trillion rare earth and niobium project at Mrima Hill in Kwale County.
On January 10, 2025, local leaders, including Deputy Governor Josphat Chirema, walked out of a meeting, accusing Joho of bypassing public consultation and sidelining county officials.
They called the process undemocratic and said the county would not support the project without community input.
Meanwhile, the Mrima Community Forest Association welcomed Joho’s outreach, urging fair compensation, job creation, and inclusive decision-making.
The project, attracting international interest, remains contentious as tensions grow between national development goals and local governance rights.
