Kwale and Mombasa counties could get up to Sh110 million annually for development projects from the sale of titanium.

This is after Base Titanium, the mining firm that is prospecting for minerals in Kwale, agreed to cede one per cent of revenue accrued from the sale of the minerals mined from the South Coast.
