Kenya’s earnings from gold mining rose to a nine-year high of Sh3.4 billion last year, pointing to increased extraction of the precious metal and high global prices due to economic uncertainty.

The earnings more than doubled from Sh1.4 billion in 2021 as the quantity extracted jumped to 563.6 kilogrammes from 291.5 kilos a year earlier.
