Comment on SEKAB doctored the EIA by Lars

I thought the EIA was the property of the company? I know that EIAs are often kept secret until they are approved, but why is that? Why should government prohibit the company from sharing the findings?

Anyhow, this should mean that the EIA will not be approved, and that SEKAB can not get the go ahead for investing in Bagamoyo (which they’ve already started doing)

Or?

The thing with EIAs are that they are the property of the National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) until they have read and given a position on the report. Currently, what I hear is that they have a pile of hundreds of EAIs and that we shouldn’t expect them to process any of them in a hurry.

Tanzania Natural Resources Forum is one of several organisations in Tanzania that are trying to follow the SEKAB saga. They want help with translating Swedish material. Volunteers can contact Caroline Chumo, http://www.tnrf.org/node/6952
TIP: Google has a service – http://www.google.com/translate – that auto-translates webpages from Swedish to English. The results are confusing and often hilarious but with a bit of creative imagination one can get an idea of the contents.
