Appointed
Minister of Mining in December 2015, Kazangu was tasked with overseeing
growth in Kenya's mining industry. Last year, the sector accounted for
just 1% of the country's GDP, with Kazangu citing an 'historic lack of
investment' and 'outdated national mining legislation' as the root of
the sector’s low output woes. Kazungu has written a 20-year strategy
which aims to double last year's government mining revenues by June this
year, while setting a goal of 10% of GDP by 2030 - a figure likely to
be well over $7 billion.
Kazangu will speak on a mining panel with leading mining figures, to discuss trends in commodity pricing, current opportunities in mergers and acquisitions, and whether producers active in Africa should invest in technological upgrades to existing projects.
Limited complimentary tickets are available for African and international corporates engaged in power, renewables, infrastructure, metals and mining, oil & gas, agriculture, health, water and associated industries. Please contact Emma.Brown@TXFmedia.com to apply.
