Investor-State Dispute Settlement should no longer be a niche legal issue for mining officials.
Our new brief sets out the basics of ISDS, where consent sits, which rules & institutions govern cases, & how claims have arisen in the mining sector.

@KimtaiHarry A more responsible approach would be to reference the mineral resource estimate- the reported ounces in the ground rather than assigning a speculative monetary value to the project.
@KimtaiHarry Hon @KimtaiHarry The 680 B valuation tag on the project is inaccurate and misleading. While the gold in the ground may have a theritical value of that magnitude, this is not an appropriate basis for reporting the worth of a mining project.
Today morning, I convened a consultative meeting with fellow PSs @GMugambi_CBS (@Forestry__Kenya) , @Eng_F_Ngeno (Environment and Climate Change) and Cyrell Wagunda (@SDPI_AM) alongside senior officials, to discuss mineral exploration in Mrima Hills.
Always rewarding to go back to the field. Together with the Geomine team and students from the departments of Mining at @TaitaTavetaUni and @DiscoverJKUAT under a mentorship programme organised by Geomine and @mining_MESK,
