A cold refining company that the government is constructing in Kakamega is almost complete, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has said.
The DP termed the one-of-a-kind gold company in Ikolomani, where gold mining is a major economic activity, a game changer in the mining sector.
Kindiki, while on a routine inspection of the site, said the establishment of the gold refinery would immensely benefit thousands of artisanal miners across the country, who have been manually conducting their mining activities despite imminent dangers.
Adressing the press on Thursday morning, Kindiki revealed that the construction of the company, which began mid-last year, would be completed by August this year.
