[QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 34377, member: 636"] Seven Chinese people faced conviction in Kapenguria courts for mining illegally at Wei-Wei River in Pokot Central. Officials arrested them during a February operation after finding them working without proper permits. The team discovered heavy equipment at the site, including trucks, excavators, bulldozers, generators, and storage containers. Investigators learned these foreigners started mining activities without any licenses from the Mining Ministry. Tests confirmed their illegal operations through samples analyzed at the Government Mining Laboratory. The court ordered each person to pay Sh3 million or serve one year in prison for unauthorized mining. They received additional fines of Sh400,000 each for working without valid permits. Two suspects must pay an extra Sh200,000 for being in Kenya unlawfully. All punishments will happen one after another, not simultaneously. The court also demanded that they return to China after completing their sentences or paying fines. In a separate case, officers arrested someone carrying 294 grams of cocaine. Security teams stopped a Nairobi-bound bus from Moyale at a checkpoint. Female officers searched the 28-year-old passenger who behaved suspiciously. They found drugs hidden inside her body. Police took her to Moyale station, where anti-narcotics teams handle the investigation. [/QUOTE]
