Some European foreigners came in Kakamega county to extract gold in Rostaman village. They used frantic efforts by employing some young men to do the mining. The men were waking up early at a crack of down to do the work. When the sun overwhelmed the western horizon, they were given their salaries which was a thousand shillings.
One day they were amazed to see that they had found the gold. unfortunately, something earth shudders happened and they did not bore the fruits. They were covered with soil mercilessly and some kicked the bucket. Others were taken to hospital and they survived.
