Technical experts from the Ministry Health and Medical Services have reaffirmed, the recent spillage of the Gold Ridge Tailing Dam is not safe for all surrounding communities.
Director of National Public Health Lab Dickson Manongi says the ministry has proven data to back its call.
“What is stored in the tailings dam itself is very toxic and highly poisonous as well as unsafe for us humans and that no one will dispute it, so we have been monitoring the dam and we have to results to indicate or tell us that the TSF is not safe.”
