North-western Province Minister Nathaniel Mubukwanu has appealed to the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources to consider prioritising the interests of the ex-miners, as they allocate the 500 plots in Kalumbila district.
Mr Mubukwanu said giving priority to the interest of the ex-miners will seek to address some of the challenges they have been encountering, which includes yearning for land, having settled in the province for a very long time.
ZANIS reports that the Minister was speaking when a team from the Ministry of Lands, who are in the province to allocate 500 plots to ex-miners in Kalumbila district, called on him.
