Govt urged to adopt EITI to curb corruption

Mining stakeholders have urged government to adopt the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) to help promote transparency and curb corruption in the mining industry.

The call comes amid lack of information on dividends paid to local authorities and the government by mining companies.
Speaking at a dialogue on the prospects of adopting and implementing EITI, Zimbabwe Environmental Law Association (Zela) director Mutuso Dhliwayo said EITI
will empower citizens with information to enable them to seek accountability from authorities on the use of mining dividends.
