Kenyan President Ruto Meets AfriSwiss CEO to Strengthen Precious Metals Industry
Nairobi, Kenya – In a high-profile meeting that underscores Kenya’s growing influence in the global precious metals sector, President William Ruto met with the CEO of AfriSwiss Commodities Trading Limited to discuss the future of sustainable and transparent gold refining and trading in East Africa.
A Strategic Partnership for Kenya’s Precious Metals Industry

During the meeting, President Ruto praised AfriSwiss for its commitment to ethical mining, cutting-edge refining technology, and compliance with international trading standards. As a government-licensed and fully certified precious metals company, AfriSwiss has played a key role in enhancing Kenya’s gold refining capabilities while ensuring responsible sourcing practices.
“Kenya has immense potential in the precious metals sector, and partnerships with trusted industry leaders like AfriSwiss will ensure our resources are utilized responsibly and contribute to economic growth,” President Ruto stated.
AfriSwiss: A Trusted Partner in Ethical Gold Refining
AfriSwiss Commodities Trading Limited is widely recognized for its state-of-the-art refining processes and secure gold trading operations. With a Mining Dealer’s (Processing) License issued by the Kenyan Ministry of Petroleum and Mining, the company is a key player in the region’s efforts to become a global leader in responsible gold trade.
The CEO of AfriSwiss highlighted the company’s core mission to advance ethical and sustainable gold refining. He emphasized the company’s use of satellite technology for high-yield mining exploration and commitment to eliminating child labor and harmful chemicals in the mining industry.
“AfriSwiss is proud to be at the forefront of gold refining in Kenya. Our advanced technology, transparency, and ethical approach set us apart as a trusted partner in the global precious metals market,” the CEO remarked.
Driving Economic Growth & International Recognition
The discussion also touched on Kenya’s role as a regional hub for gold refining and export, with AfriSwiss positioned to attract international investors and boost foreign exchange earnings. President Ruto acknowledged the company’s contributions to job creation and capacity building within Kenya’s artisanal and small-scale mining communities.
In line with Kenya’s Vision 2030, the government aims to enhance the value chain in the mining sector, ensuring that more refined gold is exported rather than raw materials. AfriSwiss is expected to play a major role in this transition, helping Kenya compete on a global scale with leading gold-exporting nations.
Looking Ahead: Strengthening Kenya’s Position in Global Gold Markets
The meeting concluded with a commitment to further collaboration, with AfriSwiss pledging to work closely with the Kenyan government on compliance, innovation, and responsible gold trade initiatives. Both parties expressed optimism about the future, with Kenya set to become a key player in Africa’s precious metals industry.
As the global demand for ethically sourced gold rises, AfriSwiss continues to reinforce its reputation as a trusted, government-approved partner, ensuring Kenya’s gold industry thrives in an era of transparency and sustainability.
