Hayat al-Mahi, chairperson of Sudan’s parliamentary committee for energy and mining has denied reports about oil pollution in West Kordofan State.
In a press statement yesterday in Khartoum, Hayat said that they visited three oil extraction sites and that there was no any pollution found in West Kordofan.
Last week, parliamentarians representing West Kordofan State criticised a government decision to dig trenches around oil fields in order to isolate citizens and animals in the area.
