international levels.
Mr. Likando said government will continue striving to develop policies targeted at achieving a world class environment for doing business.
He said during the sixth national development plan, government will continue to implement the private sector development reform programme aimed at enhancing and facilitating domestic, regional and multilateral trade.
Speaking at the same occasion, Musele chamber of commerce chairperson, Fordson Muzeya said members and the local business community were prompted to form a chamber because of a long time cry to the unfavourable and unfair business practice by investors from the already existing investments.
Mr. Muzeya said the chamber would want to see more local people getting employed from would be contractors to the mine and more local business enterprises getting a fair competition when bidding for contracts.
