In a statement on Friday, November 29, Muthama revealed that he was recognized during the 2024 Kenya Mining Investment Conference, an event dedicated to showcasing advancements and opportunities within the country’s mining sector.
“I am honoured to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Mining Corporation for my contributions to Kenya’s mining industry at the 2024 Kenya Mining Investment Conference,” Muthama shared.
The award was accepted on his behalf by his daughter, Alice Muthama, alongside members of his team.
“The award, accepted on my behalf by my daughter, Alice Muthama, and our esteemed team yesterday in Nairobi, celebrates our collective efforts toward a sustainable mining future. I am grateful to the organizers for this recognition as I continue to work on advancing this vital sector,” he added.
The Lifetime Achievement Award acknowledges individuals who have made exceptional and lasting contributions to their respective fields. These awards celebrate legacies that inspire future generations, emphasizing dedication to societal progress and innovation across various sectors.
