After years of false starts, the extraction of iron ore at the Kishushe in Taita Taveta County will now start after the Devki Group was issued with mining consent following an agreement with locals.

Devki Group chairman, Narendra Raval, said the construction of the Sh11 billion smelting plant at Manga in Voi town was almost complete ahead of the extraction of the mineral from the ranch.
