Govt sets in motion support for Geita artisanal miners

“One of the biggest challenges the mining sector is facing is land-based conflicts among the miners…we now hope that the process for reallocation of areas will lead to workable solution to the matter,” noted Magalula.

According to the RC, solution to conflicts would serve to restore good relationship among the miners on one hand and between the government and investors on the other.”
He told the minister that the regional administration encourages residents and artisanal miners to join SACCOS as a way to deal with the challenges they are facing.
It was necessary for the region to take such initiatives of reallocating lands because it was the only way to enhance people to benefit from mineral resources, Wassira said on his part.
