The Ministry of Natural Resources will be signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals Control Board (PTCCB) and other stakeholders to make it harder for persons to import mercury as the country aims to reduce its wanton use in the mining sector.
This was revealed by Minister of Natural Resources Raphael Trotman yesterday at a press conference, where he updated the news media on several matters relating to his portfolio.
He said that his ministry has signed MoUs with the World Wildlife Fund and the National Toshaos Council to “grow stronger.” Another was signed with the Government of Chile and Trotman said that they also have a declaration of intent with the Government of South Africa with a draft MoU in the works.
