By Moses Kidandi

Uganda National chamber of commerce has asked parliament to fast track the policy to guild the mining sector in Uganda.

The chamber say Uganda is losing millions of shillings to illegal miners who are selling Ugandan minerals at a cheap price.

Olive Kigongo the president Uganda National Chamber of Commerce and Industry says they have finalized proposals to handle regulation of the mining industry in Uganda.

Kigongo says the policy will help regulate the mining industry and protect the local miners.
