Hello everybody, my name is Abdulai, i live in uk. This matter is very important for the government of Sierra Leone, if the government need money to improve the living standard of the people, they must have control of all mining activities, it a shameful for a country of such mineral Resources is the list development country in the UNDP index report, they should not depend on donors all the time, they must have an Office not the Ministry building, but a seperate one that will have the full awareness of all mining activiies that is going on in the country. The government shuld try to develop all mining cities and town for the inhabitant to enjoy the benefits of their locality. the government must be so strict about that to create recreational facilities for its people. The government should review all past mining licence.If the government refuse to create development in these areas one day the people will revolt aginst all mining activities that is going in their cities and town.
