Oil, Gas and Mining by terence
Many countries that are rich in oil, gas and other minerals are nonetheless mired in poverty because the public revenues earned from selling these resources have been squandered through corruption and lack of government accountability.
Citizens of resource-rich countries cannot hold governments and extractive companies to account and ensure that mineral resources are used in a fair and sustainable way unless they have full information about the management of these resources.
Through field investigations and high-level advocacy, Global Witness has worked to increase transparency in the flow of revenues from oil, gas and mining companies to governments. As competition grows between the world's major economies for access to the natural resources of poor countries, our work is increasingly focussing on corruption in the awarding of oil, gas and mining rights to companies and the international trading of these resources. We are also stepping up our work on banks and middlemen who enable corruption.
Global Witness conceived and co-launched the Publish What You Pay (PWYP)campaign, a civil society coalition with more than 300 member groups around the world, which works to promote greater transparency in the oil, gas and mining industries. We are a leading participant in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), a global process launched in 2003 which brings together governments, companies and civil society groups to work for greater public disclosure and independent oversight of oil, gas and mining revenues.

DCMS Family Cash In On Native Lands
News is circulating in the Betong area that Deputy Chief Minster’s family has just cashed in on Native Lands handed to them by the State of Sarawak (thanks to his political ally the Chief Minister, who is also the Planning and Resources Minister and Chairman of the Land Custody and Development Authority).
They are believed to have made a sale to FELCRA for RM 7 million. Not bad for lands that have been extracted from their rightful owners for a pittance!
Sarawak Report wonders if either FELCRA, which as a public federal body should publish all such purchases and deals (especially if the families of government Ministers are profiting from them) or indeed Jabu himself would confirm which of his many land acquisitions have been sold on in this way?
Or perhaps the lawyer handling the deal, Ani Solep, Advocate and Solicitor, would be so good as to make public the details of such a sale of once public lands to a public body?
