Tanzanian Government says reforms in the mining sector has
continued to yield results as Geita Region collected 400 bilion
revenue from the sector in two years.
President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s added that the reforms made by the
government included the establishment of an international gold
trading centre in the gold-rich region which has five buying centres
that have made trading easier for small scale miners, reduced
transport costs and ensured taxes due to the government are paid.
He said the reforms also led to the creation of at least 44 gold trading
centres and 70 other minerals trading centres across the country which
have helped to stop smuggling of minerals outside the country.
Under the administration of President Samia, a number of reforms
have been made, including the improvement of mining conditions for
artisanal miners who contribute to 30 per cent of mining activities in
the country.
