The government has pledged to enhance the country's mining sector by supporting small-scale and artisanal miners to generate more economic benefits in the mining industry.
This announcement was made during the Nyanza Gold Summit held in Migori town, where policymakers, government officials, miners, and investors came together to discuss better ways to manage and grow the gold mining industry.
Speaking during the event, Principal Secretary, State Department for Mining, Harry Kimtai, said that the Nyanza region holds significant mineral potential and needs structured support to benefit fully from its resources.
He stated that gold is a national treasure that should benefit the community and generate income for both levels of government, thereby steering the nation's economic growth.
