The fact here is not about indemnifying foreign investors. it is about integrity! We cannot persevere our economy's exploitation from foreigners simply because they are foreigners. Once we realize that the scale / magnitude of shortfalls in our mining laws is high or unbearable, we should immediately take the needful regulatory steps!I am originated from north western part of Tanzania.
Name has got nothing to do with reality.
Ni vizuri kubadilisha, lakini ni vyema kufahamu kuwa hawa ni wageni wametoka kwao kuja kuwekeza Tanzania kwa nia ya kupata faida. Kwa hiyo, unapofanya marekebisho ya sheria za madini ni lazima ukazingatia kanuni na taratibu za kiuwekezaji bila kuathiri pande zote mbili.
Kwani baada ya mabadiliko ya sheria za madini, mikataba imekuwa bora? Jibu ni hakuna, kinachoendelea sasa hivi ni kudhohofika kwa sekta ya madini!
Do not compare us with a very powerful and ambitious government like China, more reforms are needed to promote costitutionalism in our country than having an outdated and outmoded style of leadership.
Umerudi tena! I am actually not relying on foreign investors, but emphasising on a good environment for both parties including the government itself. Because there's an issue when poor policies lead to a reduction in the knowledge of mineral potential, thereby affecting the responses of potential investors as well.The fact here is not about indemnifying foreign investors. it is about integrity!

On the contrary, reality, economically, geologically, the mining industry is an important contributor to Tanzania's economy and to economies around the world.Remember minerals never rot. They can wait another time at some point!
Your last sentence makes me laugh to my last guts! Anyway, I know the affirmative effectiveness of mining industry to our country's economy and it is not that I disregard it but that we need to regulate the huddles that cause the disadvantages. Nonetheless, can't it wait until we get potential regulations which will match with potential investors? How long have we lived without potential mining industry? And if we are not ready yet now, can't we hold it until then (for the coming potential generation)?Umerudi tena!

On the contrary, reality, economically geologically, the mining industry is an important contributor to Tanzania's economy and to economies around the world. It provides not only materials essential for all sectors of the economy but also employment and government revenues. So is it necessary to postpone the whole sector's activity just because of government irregularities? Are you serious? Are you a mining familiar? Or just trolling on JF because you have sufficient internet bundle!

Sure.Keep laughing, life is too short!
What are the causes of those disadvantages, if not the government?
Potential regulations are difficult to accomplish and navigate because non professionalism and corruption mindset dominate licensing processes.
Currently, the ministry of Minerals is incapable of administering potential regulations in an efficient manner.
Why you avoid to mention the government?Sure.
Government Pretenders (planted actors - sabotage mercenaries) and not the government
And who doctored those abnormalities?Over time, abnormalities will be quashed.
How can we experience the difference while our government is plagued by inconsistent regulations and unclear laws of mining?Eras are not the same! Remember things have drastically changed and hopefully, sooner than later the difference will be realized. With that, I am certain!
Hey my brother from another mother, it is not that I am avoiding to mention the government but that I am trying to show how lack of integrity can mar the name of the government.Why you avoid to mention the government?

The center or the orbit is very clear. The man and the culture when theyYou're just rotating a circle, but you don't know its centre!
Reveal it.You're just rotating a circle, but you don't know its centre!
And so tell why are we still poor and disrespected nation on this globe? While we are the richest country on this continent with those natural resources including natural gas and mineral.The center or the orbit is very clear. The man and the culture when they Reveal it.
How about those around the agreements? Aren't they rich? If they are, then that is what makes me say: integrity is far most needed to make this country rich!And so tell why are we still poor and disrespected nation on this globe?

Whom one? We're discussing mining issues in our country, I mean Tanzania and our position around the globe.How about those around the agreements? Aren't they rich?
The only thing that matters is a good governance that gets the job done. The marriage of mining sector and good governance is inevitable, you cannot separate it.If they are, then that is what makes me say: integrity is far most needed to make this country rich!
Definitely yes. What I meant here was about those who were around mining agreements which were signed without considering our nation's benefits simply because of selfishness and which, resulted in what we are bumping into. Lack of integrity!Whom one? We're discussing mining issues in our country, I mean Tanzania and our position around the globe.

It is eager to note that different segments of the mining industry [exploration, mining & processing] face different challenges. Yet many of the challenges the different segment faces are similar, so it's important to avoid political myths and strive in professional ethics.Fortunately, we are in a proper direction which, though late, is better than never!
Bear in mind that there is no fixed formula in tackling challenges though at some point and time, we need to adhere to principles, i.e ethics, integrity, beliefs, etc thus patronizing vision, mission and objectives of our well being. Together with all existing challenges to mining industry, we are not bound to ignore the shortfalls or discrepancies that have been caused by those who are under the umbrella of government to mar the good name of our government for selfishness.The main problem is government itself, not individuals!

Which blahblah and which stealing do you refer to, rafiki? Are you trying to say: the recent Mining Laws' amendment is blah blah?Too much blah blah! Mining sector is not the same like other sectors, we need commitment rather than having a leader who is stealing our tax payers money and still seeing him as a celebrity. Tanzanians need to wake up!
Let us start from you. Are you awake? If you are, I hope you would have seen things in a different way!Too much blah blah!

It looks strange to me when it comes to mineral engineers having their own rules and regulations which are not in line with Mining Act. But it also disturbs my mind when you say the laws are established without considering technical aspects, of which, you want to tell us that; "the law makers (parliamentarians) are arrogant and ignorant"!Having too much words without technical highlights!
What happened to TanzaniteOne, I mean precious gemstone mine located at Mirelani.
As always, mining laws are based and rely on scientific arguments and approval. Apart from that it's illegally amended because we as mineral engineers, we have our own rules and regulations that governed mining policy based on engineering ethics. "Sio unaandaa andaa sheria unazoona wewe zinafaa bila kuzingatia sababu za fani husika".
You should tell your boss, that leadership is not a rehearsal!
Have you go through the MINING ACT?. Or are you aware of Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration [ SME ]?It looks strange to me when it comes to mineral engineers having their own rules and regulations which are not in line with Mining Act.
This is nothing compared to scientific arguments and approval. The Tanzania Parliament goes out its way to be boring as hell.But it also disturbs my mind when you say the laws are established without considering technical aspects, of which, you want to tell us that; "the law makers (parliamentarians) are arrogant and ignorant"!
Hmm! We have to bear in mind that, It's not healthy to politicize everything especially when it comes to extractive industry.Let me assure you that our (Tanzanians) boss is on the right track and he needs not reminder!
What you term wrong and bad direction is what is the right path!Have you go through the MINING ACT?

Hmm! We have to bear in mind that, It's not healthy to politicize everything especially when it comes to extractive industry. Currently, this industry is really on the wrong track, meaning that the progress of the sector is moving in a bad and wrong direction. One final reminder is to get back on track and this means to return to the right path.
You're just trolling on JF! What are the causes-and-effects of those amendments?.What you term wrong and bad direction is what is the right path!
What are the major means of protection stated in MINING ACT?.By the way, is what you were previously practicing that you call; right path and what is practiced now; bad and wrong direction?
