Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Auditor General\u2019s office is set to audit the empowerment administered through the consortium operating at the Black Mountain, Mopani Copper Mines and Konkola Copper Mines as soon as the 2021 audits are completed.<\/p>\n

Auditor General Dr. Dick Sichembe says the black mountain is a public resource that is operating as an extension of the ministry of mines as well as Mopani and KCM currently under government control, and is required to be audited by his office as prescribed under the constitution for accountability purposes.<\/p>\n

Dr. Sichembe\u2019s remarks come in the wake of green party leader Peter Sinkamba\u2019s recent call on the office of the auditor general to extend its audit to ongoing mining activities at the black mountain.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Black Mountain Consortium Chairperson Kangwa Kamando has disclosed that the operation is set to release the 30 percent share of its total revenue over the month, to the Kitwe district commissioner\u2019s office within the next 3 weeks towards beneficiary cooperatives.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kamando adds that the consortium is currently undertaking an audit to quantify how much of the 30 percent of the black mountain given out as empowerment, has been utilized so far but was quick to mention that there is still enough of the resource yet to be used.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, opposition Green Party President Peter Sinkamba called for the auditing of the Black Mountain mining operations. Mr. Sinkamba said that auditing the operations will make it easy to tell the impact of the empowerment programme.<\/p>\n

the opposition leader said in an interview that black mountain was a public resource and was hopeful that the office of the Auditor General will take keen interest by initiating an audit on the resource.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Auditor General\u2019s office should not ignore the auditing of the ongoing mining operations at Kitwe\u2019s Black Mountain in the forthcoming<\/p>\n

auditing of the mining sector so that stakeholders can appreciate how proceeds from the resource are being used,\u201d He said. Currently it was difficult to tell the impact of the 30 per cent black mountain empowerment on the communities because there<\/p>\n

is no evaluation system put in place. The Black Mountain Empowerment initiative was just like other empowerment initiatives such as the Citizens Empowerment funds.<\/p>\n
