MenuWe have a contract – CTO Maputo (Mozambique)
‘We have a contract’ provides a penetrating insight into corruption in Mozambique. It addresses a specific case of a multinational company (working with the exploitation of mineral resources) that manages to influence the government to create special conditions that favor this company and harm the Mozambique population. This play provides dialogue on this burning issues.
The GRMR – Getaway Research Mineral Resources – is a multinational company that invests in Chiedza in the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources. It enforces corruption, by enticing the Government’s members and influence the creation of new corrupt legislation. As result, they can export their profits to offshores. This is a clear abuse and exploitation of the country’s resources. They also expelled populations from their land and trick the tax authorities with accounting tricks and abusive interpretation of ambiguous laws.
When the population notice, they start protests against the government. They demand the removal of excessive financial incentives and the promotion of a fair taxation for Multinationals. However, the government sends the police force to oppress the demonstrators.
