Tanzania Mining Industry Association members have been urged to use the prevailing period of peace and tranquility in the sector to exploit various opportunities that come their way.
The association has also been directed to weed out dishonest members among its ranks to ensure smooth delivery of the needed services.
This is the advice given at the end of the week in Dar es Salaam by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Minerals, Yahya Samamba, when he inaugurated the association’s committee on markets and communication.
He said the existing peace and tranquility in the mining industry is a vital pillar of its success as more people are engaged in it.
Talking of honesty, Samamba said mining is an industry that requires huge capital and that when a person invests his or her money he or she believes that it is safe hands of honest people.
He called for TAMISA’s strictness in weeding out dishonest elements within its ranks as does the Engineer’s Registration Board in punishing members engaged in shoddy deals.
The Commissioner of Mining and also chairperson of the committee of the involvement of Tanzanians in mining, Dr Theresia Numbi, said that the 2017 amendments carried out in the Mining Act place the indigenous people to play a key role in the industry.
She said the participation of Tanzanians in the mining sector has been a catalyst to the emergence of various opportunities such as job creation and training, research and development, technology transfer and the use of services and products made by Tanzanians.
“This issue has transformed the mining sector to have major contribution in improving the lives of Tanzanians and leading technological advancement.” Dr Numbi said.
She said the Ministry of Minerals and the Mining Commission will continue to ensure strict supervision in the participation of Tanzanians in the mining economy for their benefits.
On his part, the Director of Business Inspection of the Mining Commission, Venance Kasiki, said “this is the opportune moment for the indigenous Tanzanians to cooperate with TAMIS to exploit the ample existing opportunities available in the mining industry.”
TAMISA chairman, Peter Kumalilwa, said it was the expectation of the society’s members that the Tsh 3.1 billion expected earnings from mining would benefit them.
Speaking at the same occasion, the chairman of the newly-launched committee on markets and communication, Dr Sebastian Ndege,said this was a new era for Tanzanians to participate in the mining economy as their country is endowed with mineral resources.
“We as TAMISA, our major work is to supervise our members to ensure they work diligently and to the best of their knowledge in the delivery of necessary services,” he said.
TAMISA was established on September 16, last year, to supervise its members to ensure they play a key role in the growth of the mining industry.
