A gemstones firm associated with former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama has failed in its bid to stop the implementation of a new directive that requires miners to seek export permits from the Mining Cabinet secretary instead of the Director of Mines.
The company, Rockland Kenya Limited, wanted the court to issue temporary orders halting any further implementation of the directive issued by the Cabinet secretary on September 7, 2017, referenced Processing of Export Permit.
