Geita Gold Mining Limited (GGML) and the Prevention and Combating Corruption Bureau (PCCB) launched a four-day workshop to raise awareness and lead the fight against corruption. The workshop is expected to run until April 18th, 2024.

This is the sixth anti-corruption workshop organized by GGML and PCCB in the Geita region, allowing stakeholders to participate in various plenary sessions and discussions about law and company policies with the goal of preventing and combating corruption and bribery.

Geita's District Commissioner, Mr. Hashim Abdallah Komba, spoke on behalf of the Geita Regional Commissioner and commended GGML and PCCB for their continuous efforts to host workshops that highlight corruption-related issues that have been depriving people of their rights to various services, providing a positive example for other organizations.

"Our President, H.E. Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, is leading the charge in the battle against corruption, which is a critical issue. By implementing anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies and standards into their business practices, GGML is aiding in these initiatives. We must critically consider how the many projects that have been put in place in Geita can be successfully carried out while making sure that corruption is completely eradicated. It is crucial to remember that a nation free from corruption will draw more foreign investors, which will spur economic growth. "I implore all those involved in this workshop to actively engage and to stand as advocates for the fight against corruption," he declared.

According to Ashraf Suryaningrat, Acting Managing Director of GGML, corruption poses a serious threat to democratic stability and economic growth in many nations across the world. He also emphasized that individual commitment was crucial if the fight against corruption is to succeed.

To bolster the fight against bribery and corruption and to better inform the Geita community about the risks associated with it, he stated, "This workshop is very integral to the development of our region and the nation at large."

He further added that the anti-bribery and anti-corruption training workshop will impart skills and knowledge to the participants coming from different sectors both private and public, on the importance of the fight against corruption and bribery.
