Corruption Watch calls for enquiry into misadministration of mining royalties

Civil society organisation Corruption Watch (CW) has recommended that a commission of enquiry be established to determine the scope and degree of alleged misadministration and misappropriation of mining royalties. The organisation on Tuesday launched its ‘Improving Transparency and Accountability in the Management and Administration of Mining Royalties and/or Community’ research report, which states that there is little transparency around how much royalty payments have amounted to or what that money has been spent on.
