Hon. John Siriwayo, the Kasese Municipal Secretary for works and technical services said for the locals to show their dismay, was their right now that JEMS Investment limited-Hima, was not willing to present their clearance documents, remit loyalties and Corporate social responsibility as required of them.

Efforts to get an official comment from the miner was futile now that no detailed record of who they are, can be traced. END
