Ever since the Kenya Kwanza administration came to office following the August 2022 General Election, the government has been on an unwavering journey of economic transformation, driven by a vision that places the prosperity of its people at the forefront. Central to this transformation agenda is the mining sector, with a particular focus on empowering artisanal miners.

The establishment of the State Department for Mining, under the re-organisation of the government in 2023, signifies a strategic move towards harnessing the potential of this vital sector.
