Mining firm Base Titanium has put off mineral exploration plans in Kwale County over what it says are rising political temperatures in the country.
The firm said it will have to wait until next year to explore potential finds in consultation with winners of the upcoming polls and local communities.
“Political tensions made drilling in the North Eastern sector untenable. Our intentions are to engage the communities and ask for consent after the elections,” Base Titanium External Affairs Manager Simon Wall said in Nairobi on Wednesday.
