Stakeholders in North and South Ramba sub-locations have brokered a landmark peace agreement to resolve recurring turf wars and conflicts over investment rights in local gold mines.
The peace accord was reached during a public participation forum held in Asembo, where local leaders, community representatives, and mining investors gathered to address community grievances and establish a framework for peaceful coexistence.
County Commissioner Norbert Komora urged residents to maintain peace and leverage government frameworks to improve their livelihoods, emphasizing that economic growth in the sub-county must directly benefit local families and youth.
Community Chairman Japheth Amolo called for community-wide unity, stressing that Ramba must remain an open environment for lawful commerce and cooperation between residents and investors.
East Asembo MCA Gordon Onguru advocated for local inclusivity, noting that mining investors must prioritize community welfare, support vulnerable students through bursaries, and ensure mineral processing yields direct local returns.
Amlight Company Director Amos Barasa Mabonga confirmed that after reviewing operations and addressing misunderstandings, his team has cleared the air to foster better relations, reaffirming Amlight’s commitment to supporting local development and funding school fees through corporate social responsibility.
The agreement marks a major turning point for Rarieda Sub-County, promising a harmonious path forward where mining operations and community prosperity go hand in hand.
