NYATIKE MP Edick Anyanga has called on Mining Secretary Najib Balala to liberalise mines in the area to prevent accidents. On Wednesday evening, two gold miners died at Osiri mines. The miners, aged 23 and 24, suffocated after they tried to pump water from the mine using a petrol-powered generator after a heavy downpour. Nyatike police boss Richard Mukwate said one of the miners was assisting his colleague who had collapsed. He said they will give the names of the miners after their families have been contacted.
