He rejected the benefit-sharing agreement signed in2014 by Kitui leaders and a Chinese coal mining company. The Fenxi Industry Mining Company is to start mining in six months but growing resistance might delay operations. Mulyungi told Governor Charity Ngilu to stay away from the project. Recently, Ngilu told residents they will be paid and relocated to places like Kanyoonyoo, Engamba and Sosama.
