A Chinese investor has promised the other people in Kakamega maximum jobs if he wins the offer to establish a gold processing and refining plant at Litambitsa in Ikolomani.

Gold mining in the county has attracted, among others, London-based Shanta Mining Company.
Assets acquired through the county government and passed to the national government, which in turn set aside 50 million shillings for the plant.
During Friday’s visit, Oparanya said her administration is committed to engaging serious investors to build and launch the plant within six months.
“The plant will stimulate economic expansion in the county and this region,” he said in the center of Litambitsa.
The governor said the investor uses fashion mining generation to make sure gold mines are no longer fatal traps.
“The Lirhanda Golden Corridor extends to Siaya County.With the Kakamega processing plant, it will be a main condiment as miners from other counties will bring gold to our plant,” Oparanya said.
The plant is expected to serve miners from as far away as Migori and Kisii.
The governor said there is an urgent desire to build the factory to make artisanal miners in the western region economically self-sufficient.
He welcomed the gold miners and asked them to submit their proposals to the relevant authorities.
