New regulations impose local content requirements on mining companies
09 May 2017
Kenya introduced new Regulations which require holders of existing mineral rights to submit to the Cabinet Secretary for Mining (CS) procurement plans which must (i) set target levels of local procurement based on a procurement list to be developed and communicated by the Director of Mines and (ii) indicate specific support to be provided by mineral rights holders to local providers or suppliers as well as other measures being implemented to develop the supply of local goods and services including broadening access to opportunities and technical support. The Regulations also require engineering services to be rendered by Kenyan engineering companies registered with the relevant regulatory bodies or by foreign engineering consultants working in collaboration with firms or companies licenced to provide such engineering services in Kenya.
