GOVERNMENT has created the Mines and Mineral Commission to regulate the mining sector and to help address illegal mining activities, Minister of Mines and Mineral Development, Paul Kabuswe has said.
Mr Kabuswe told Parliament that Mines and Mineral Commission was a first of its kind and it would give the ministry more capacity to deal with various issues in the mining sector.
He said government was working on a number of reforms in the mining sector that would gravitate to provinces and districts.
Mr Kabuswe said there was no way that he could be everywhere as Minister and that Commission would help to deal with various issues affecting the mining sector.
“Apart from the reforms we are doing in parallel, the licensing committee is sitting giving licences to people so that they can go into production,” Mr Kabuswe.
He assured Zambians that the Commission would go an extra mile as compared to the bureaus which were just figure heads.

Your honour, before reaching the Genset, power came. I then decided to check around the place. Your honour, within a short time, again power went off. I asked myself what happened then I did the same and went to the Genset. I checked there and I decided after a long time to go outside the gate to check if the neighbours’ had power,” he said.
Dala told the court that Lungu’s waiter was the one who discovered the breaking in. “From there, it was around 02-03:00 hours that’s when power came. At 05:30 hours, Constable Banda Mambo was released. Thereafter at 08:00 hours, civilian staff started reporting for work. When they reported for work, Ms Charity Chirwa who is a waiter discovered some breaking in when she was cleaning the house. After that, I went there and confirmed that four wall fence wires were cut,” said Mr Dala.
He said the front door behind the house was damaged.
“I quickly reported the matter to Ibex police station where I reported that two television sets were stolen. After reporting the matter, I was later told that someone was arrested in connection with the same and that one television set has been recovered.” Mr Dala said.
