Tanzania submits bills so govt can renegotiate mining, gas contracts

Tanzania lawmakers submitted three Bills to Parliament on Thursday allowing the government to force mining and natural gas companies to renegotiate the terms of their contracts, part of a Presidential drive to increase revenues. The Bills, expected to be fast-tracked, will affect large mining and gas multinationals and follow the recommendations of a committee probing the country’s gold industry.
