KABUL (Pajhwok): A mining company has won excavation contract of a portion of a talc mine in eastern Nangarhar province after revocation of earlier small contracts but the fresh contractor could not start its operation in three years until the process was called off, Pajhwok Afghan News learned reliably.
The company, the contract of which was revoked for a second time and its three years wasted, claims that some beneficiaries disrupted the process but the Ministry of Mining and Petroleum (MoMP) argues the bidding process was announced canceled because transparency had not been ensured based on technical and legal problems.
