Seal loopholes in Mining Act to control wars

There have been reported cases of violence and murders by the gang, the most infamous one being the murder of a renowned geologist who had been awarded some concession rights by the Government.

The Mining Act allows the Commissioner of Mines and Geology to make inquiries into such incidents.

The prosecution of this offence however, is the responsibility of the state.

It is hoped that there shall soon be a regulation to streamline the mining sector.

The current Act seems to have some loopholes especially as regards enforcement mechanisms in the event of disputes.
