Transparency Solomon Islands (TSI) has called on the government to address the misappropriate royalty payments to Gold Ridge Mine landowners.
TSI made this call claiming last year a total SBD$18 million of royalty payment was paid to individual accounts instead of nominated trustee accounts which was provided in the payment regulation.
A TSI statement says this is an issue of great concern as the royalty payment for shipments six to 45 appears to be a product of wrongdoing and lack of diligence by responsible authorities.
