Kenya plans to restrict the export of some minerals in raw form after the ongoing construction of processing plants is completed, a move that portends a major policy shift aimed at maximising earnings for the government and communities.

The Ministry of Mining says gold, gemstones and granite will be the first batch of minerals to be exported after value addition.
