According to a mining expert, industries like business and agriculture should receive greater incentives because they are better positioned to increase employment.
The majority of mining businesses, according to metallurgist WILFRED KATOTA, have automated their processes and only need a small number of employees.
He argues that because of this, the government should offer greater incentives to industries like business and agriculture that will swiftly generate jobs for the populace.
Additionally, Mr. KATOTA told ZNBC News that mining companies, both domestic and foreign, should be permitted to study the possibility of producing their own power rather than receiving access to cheap electricity.
