The focus of the engagement was on addressing various issues plaguing the mining industry and the surrounding communities. Concerns included environmental degradation, air pollution, and health and safety risks resulting from unsustainable mining practices. The importance of environmental compliance, including awareness of both national and county environmental laws, was highlighted during the discussion. It has been noted that residents living near these mining sites are experiencing significant challenges, such as respiratory illnesses from quarry air pollution and poor road conditions. There have also been reports of miscarriages among women due to unannounced blasting activities, causing panic and trauma. These issues prompted the organization of the roundtable to seek lasting solutions, particularly in the Jaribuni area.

Investors were urged to fulfill their corporate social responsibility by maintaining access roads to their facilities and implementing environmental management plans. While we value the contributions of investors to our community in terms of revenue generation and job creation, we also prioritize the well-being of residents living in proximity to mining operations.
