The zambia government through the Mines And Minerals, Water
Development And Energy,minister Yamfwa Mukanga Has Implored Investors In The Country To
Give Priority To Zambians When Recruiting Employees.
Mr. Mukanga Says Government
Appreciates Every Investment In The Country But Such Investments Should Benefit
Zambians In Terms Of Employment Opportunities.
He Says Investors Should Only Think
Of Sourcing Expatriate Employees Only For Skills That Are Not Readily Available
In Zambia.
The Minister Says Jobs Whose Skills
Are Locally Available Should Be Given To Zambians Because It Is Illogical To
Bring People From Outside Just To Do Simple Jobs That Can Easily Be Done By
Locals.
Mr. Mukanga Who Is In North-Western
Province To Familiarize Himself With The Operations Of Mines, Said This After
Touring Kansanshi Mine In Solwezi Yesterday.
Meanwhile, The Minister Has
Expressed Happiness At The Massive Investment First Quantum Minerals Has Put Up
In The Kansanshi Mine.
He Says Government Is Happy With
Such Massive Investment That Will Drive A Lot Of Production.
Earlier, During A Courtesy Call,
North-Western Province Minister, Josephine Limata Said Her Office Is Not Going
To Allow People Who Undermine Locals Because Locals As Owners Of The Land Need
To Be Proud Of Developments Going On In Their Area.
Ms. Limata Said Traditional Leaders
Also Need To Have A Say In Whatever Is Going On In Their Chiefdoms For The Sake
Of Harmony Between Locals And Investors
