Nothing new there in some ways, but looking at Swala, I think it would be irresponsible to suggest share ownership in a previously state owned oil company as a means of ensuring benefits reach Tanzanians. All it will do is encourage people to invest in a very risky sector where market institutions and oversight are not well developed and there is considerable asymmetry of information between potential investors and those seeking investment.
Sumu katika Mto Tigite kule Tarime haigawanywi kwa Watanzania wote isipokuwa mapato ya dhahabu, japo nayo ni kidogo tu maana miliki ni ya kampuni binafsi, inayovunwa na kuchafua maji ya mto huu inagawanywa kwa Watanzania wote.Hatuwezi kuendelea kuwa na taifa ambalo Wilaya ya Geita yenye mgodi mkubwa zaidi wa dhahabu barani Afrika, ukiondoa Ghana na Afrika Kusini lakini ni masikini zaidi Tanzania. Halafu tunasema maliasili ni mali ya taifa.
