Alice Cabrera By: Guy Rogers ENVIRONMENT & TOURISM EDITOR THE company that wants to explore for gas in the Cranemere area of the Karoo has refused to answer questions raised in terms of the required public participation process prescribed by South African mining law. Responding to a 38-page letter containing 110 questions from Woolhead Holdings, the owners of Samara Private Game Reserve, Bundu Gas & Oil Exploration said it was clear that Samara was opposed to the project. Consequently, it would not be responding. Some of these questions were already raised verbally at a public meeting in Pearston a month ago, the first step of the public participation process prescribed by the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) - and the same thing happened. Bundu was relying on privilege relating to trade secrets, but this technical exception to the fundamental principle of transparency was unacceptable, he said.]]> tag:www.tradesecretsblog.info,2009://13.1862 2009-06-22T17:22:14Z 2009-06-22T17:26:44Z

Alice Cabrera They are also figures in Scruggs judicial bribery probe Two former lawyers and a former state auditor - all of them imprisoned in a judicial bribery scandal - are expected to be subpoenaed for sworn statements in an unrelated bribery case involving the same judge. Hinds County Circuit Judge Swan Yerger signed orders last month allowing Frisby Aerospace attorneys to take statements from former lawyers Joey Langston of Booneville and Timothy Balducci of New Albany and former State Auditor Steve Patterson. Earlier this year, Yerger halted further proceedings in a $1 billion theft-of-trade-secret lawsuit to let Frisby's counsel try to determine if suspended Circuit Judge Bobby DeLaughter was improperly influenced in the case by his former boss, one-time Hinds County District Attorney Ed Peters.
