Marsabit County Police Commander, Patrick Mwakio said the miners died on the spot after the debris covered them.<\/p>\n

The Interior Minister, Kithure Kindiki, in March banned mining activities in the area after clashes led to the deaths of seven people.<\/p>\n

The mining activities were also in violation of the law because no environmental impact assessment had been done and the tunnels were described as weak.<\/p>\n
