Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs Cabinet Secretary Ali Hassan Joho [Kelvin Karani, Standard]

Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Ali Joho has suspended Tata Chemicals Magadi's mining operations over alleged non-compliance with mining laws, ordering the company to halt work until it meets legal requirements.

In a statement on Wednesday, July 29, Joho said the decision followed years of engagement between the State Department for Mining and the company over its statutory obligations, but compliance remained inadequate.

He directed that the suspension remain in force until the company complies with all legal and regulatory requirements.
