Government has urged First Quantum Minerals Limited in North Western Province and Musele Community of Kalumbila District to sort out their differences amicably.
Kalumbila District Commissioner Robinson Kalota appealed to the two parties after the community accused the mining company of having triggered the heavy flooding which is still being experienced in the mining community.
ZANIS reports that Mr Kalota advised the two parties to reconcile their differences during a meeting held at Kalumbila offices today.
The District Commissioner has however, requested the mining firm to assist the community with the provision of clean and safe drinking water as the community’s source of clean water is contaminated due to the heavy flooding.
Mr Kalota lamented that throwing stones and finger pointing at each other will not solve the problem, but that harmonious solution is what is needed.
Report them to ZEMA and if found guilty they will be made to correct the situation as well as compensate the community.
Where are the Mines Safety Dept (MSD)?
Just send these findings to Human Rights in Canada. Also send these findings to a Radio Station in Ottawa called CFRA. These people don’t joke. You will see how fast this company will jump. Show them who’s boss. Google CFRA and email them this story saying Zambia needs help from abuse by international organizations. See what happens next!
