A dispute over tax refunds between the Kenya Revenue Authority and a gold miner has seen the Government miss out on royalties from the sale of the mineral over the past financial year.
Goldplat, the UK firm operating the Kilimapesa goldmine in Narok, has withheld royalties in excess of Sh23 million that would have been split three ways with the national and county governments as well as the communities getting a share of the money.
