Ghana Prepares EITI Report
Date: Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Ghana is set to issue its first Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative report covering its oil and gas industry for 2009/2010. The Ghana Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (GHEITI) report is expected to be produced by September.
Dr. Steve Manteaw, vice chairman of the GHEITI, speaking at a one-day sensitization workshop on the GHEITI for assembly members from the six coastal districts in the Western Region, said the terms of reference for the report had been developed and a draft bill on GHEITI was before the minister of finance and it would soon be put before parliament.
He said when the bill is passed into law, EITI compliance would be mandatory for companies and government agencies.
