Three artisanal gold miners died while nine others were rescued after a goldmine buried them alive at Sigalagala area in Shinyalu Sub County at 2am.<\/p>\n

Kakamega County Commissioner John Ondego confirmed the incident rescue mission is still ongoing.<\/p>\n

Ondego said two more people are still stuck under the rubble but assured the families of the affected miners to remain calm until the rescue mission is over.<\/p>\n

He said the nine survivors have been taken to various hospitals in the county from where they are under specialized treatment.<\/p>\n

“The concerted efforts by this team managed to rescue nine people alive of which, six were rushed to \u00a0Kakamega County General Hospital , two were taken \u00a0Shieywe Hospital and the other to St Elizabeth Mukumu Mission Hospital,\u201d said Ondego<\/p>\n

Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa speaking at Enashipai Resort in Naivasha condoled with the families of the deceased and wished the survivors quick recovery.<\/p>\n

“Regrettably, by the time of this press briefing, three fatalities have been confirmed, two at the shafts\u2019 sites and one at the General Hospital while receiving specialized medical attention,\u201d said Barasa<\/p>\n

Mr. Barasa asked residents living in houses that have developed cracks near the goldmine that collapsed to vacate with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

“It has been observed that buildings adjacent to the main goldmine have developed notable cracks and pose further risks to people as well as property,\u201d said Barasa<\/p>\n

Fernandes Barasa pleaded with the miners to comply with the regulations put in place to ensure their safety while at work.<\/p>\n
