    "content": "(a) Although several companies have been licensed to prospect for Gypsum in Bura area of Tana River County, the Ministry has noted that there are some companies which are carrying out prospecting and mining activities without licences. There are also companies which are using exploration licence to carry out mining activities contrary to the Mining Act, Cap. 306 of the Laws of Kenya. On 1st October, 2010, the Ministry issued a directive to all District Commissioners (DC) and Officers in Charge of Police Divisions (OCPDs) to investigate and arrest anyone found to be prospecting and/or mining without relevant licences. A list of licensed miners was provided to guide the crackdown on the illegal operations. Mining companies are responsible for rehabilitating mined areas as stipulated in the Environmental Management Plans that they submit. The District Environment Officers ensure that mined areas in their respective areas of jurisdiction are rehabilitated by the mining companies."
