Tin miners count losses as government bans exportation of semi-processed minerals

Artisanal and small-scale miners in the Isingiro district are threatening to lay down their tools following the government's ban on the exportation of semi-processed minerals. They say they have not exported anything for the last six months and business is at near collapse, with nearly 70% of mineral stocks ready for export are still lying idle. According to African Panther Resources (U) Limited which deals in metal and mining, huge losses prevail as miners pile up 20 tonnes of tin. Rachel Nabisubi reports.

If the government has adopted and enforced such a policy, it is in the interests of all Ugandans to support it as long as the government has well thought through and well planned stages of transition, without which, it can be a disaster for all stakeholders! ! Good government policies that are not well planned can turn out to be risky for the government and citizens! Investors must not take advantage of the good nature of Ugandans to try to push through agendas driven by greed and selfishness, just like those greedy investors suggesting government ring fences the Nile perch!
