With such ignorance, gold scammers easily present nuggets to unsuspecting buyers who are promised that the larger consignment is hidden elsewhere. Let Kenyans be advised against buying gold or gemstones that have not been tested. At the same time, no foreigner should purport to sell gold in Kenya since all countries have access to a gold market directly. Those interested in precious gems and gold should buy from licenced dealers and most importantly, buy gold that has a certificate of the test. The chamber of mines is pushing for Kenya to establish a gold refinery which is accredited by London Bullion Market, London Metal Exchange and World Gold Council.
