This mess, and all other grand corruptions are engineered by CCM using the weakness and stupidity of most of Tanzanians. Tanzanians are called stupid wherever they go because they have failed to replace a party that is proven to be led by a bunch of thieves, killers, and heavily corrupt people.
There is no other way than REPLACING CCM.

It is the responsibility of Tanzanians to vote-off CCM which has infested their country with graft epidemic.

The problem is, CCM is regarded as religion by many Tanzanians. It is hard to convince them to disown it.

In-fact CCM is deliberately been transformed into one which operates on the strategies of a certain religious group in Tanzania. They are the same strategies Union Tanzania is been tuned (through the new constitution draft crafted and endorsed by a special Parliament recently) to operate on.

Stupid Tanzanians including you or what???

Ever since the culprits of RADDA and RICHMOND scandals were not rounded up seven years ago, very rarely we can ever find the honest man to run our much needed economic resoucers!

The Citizen newspaper is really an investigative one, kudos Citizen!!! Governor Ndulu has already been cleared of any mismanagement!

He should remanded first, by that way he could make confession that he has endorsed withdraw through no fault of his own!

Despite of the highly responsible quarries lodged by the Central Bank Governor, I still think the Governor should be included into the list of the category of Government officials considered culprits for endorsing at the different levels of the decision which facilitated illegal withdrawal from the escrow account in the absence of fully clearance of the quarries lodged by the Central Bank Governor.

AG, Bot governor, the board members of Tanesco, and minister of nishati, should be rounded up. The court is the only reliable place where it can prove them innocent .

We have no justice yet in our dountry.
You see all the big leagal names being part of the corruption

All suspect culprits should have been rounded-up and held in custody as soon as the anti-corruption squad and/or CAG established their findings.

Court?? Really??

Enough is Enough, the whole Government should go to pave way for a new people's Government to obtain from free and fair election.

Do you know the procedure of withdrawing money from an escrow account or BOT for that matter?? Do you know the governor's, AG's, minister's role in this kind of transaction?? If you do, then you will realize prof is not culpable.

“Release of funds to a company whose ownership of IPTL has not been
regularised, .....notwithstanding the court’s decision....., places the bank or
GOT in a precarious position.” The whole saga stems from the interpretation of the court ruling (or the misinterpretation thereof ).
Did Werema misinterpret the court ruling ? It seems the AG fought tooth and nail to get the Escrow money released.Was his action bona fide ?

Thanks you verry much for making me aware on this Big Scam in JK Gvnt.
I always see this is the results of failure President.If the president cant show the way its difficult others govnt official to show good behavior.
RICHMOND,EPA are few scam which we have never experience the real culprits are taken to the court and liquidated??
-We should decide now whoever taken the public money in any way should be imprisoned for life.I thinks this will help much.

The only decision we can have is vote the corrupt and thieves out of power. You don't have the power to imprison any person, if you elect the same person/party to be your leader.

Voting CCM out is not effective because vote rigging plus the support of the army, police and the other security organs of state is what has maintained CCM in power throughout the Parliamentarian and Presidential elections the country had. It means wholesale people's led forceful removal of CCM from power is what could liberate the country from the status of CCM colony it is. The people simply need to be mobilized into the action, and our well learned defense and other security organs should manage rather than resit the peoples led forceful removal of the destructive CCm dictatorship ruining the country so heavily gifted with economic growth potentials.

But we forget that it was in fact the same JK who ordered the confiscation and nationalization of the IPTL assets and its money ,...and the POAC (former PAC) ordered a follow-through. The ICSID arbitration ruling in London ruled largely in favor of TANESCO .What happened after that is so mysterious.
Read this by Zitto, if you can understand Ki-Swahili.

Is questioning the deal without foiling it reasonable for a prof like Ndullu? What did his queries help if at all the monies were stolen? He is trying to save face. Again, the culprits behind this scam are more than the five alleged rain makers. It is the entire regime under king Jakaya Kikwete who in conjunction with Mwinyi created this venal regime. Thus we need to pull down the entire thing.

Crazy things happen. But that for TZS. 6 Million a 70% stake was acquired in IPTL and then some people in the bureaucracy decided that should not have been questioned in the first place just shows how much cleaning up the bureaucracy needs. Kudos to the whistle blowers though. Without them, we would not have known how messed up things are.

Some crazy things happen, but it is really inconceivable that 70% stake in IPTL could be bought for TZS 6 million. and that AG and Ministry of Energy quashed BOT queries makes one wonder whether their actions was for national interest.

One would also wish to know what TANESCO did when they learnt that the authorities were in frantic efforts to transfer to IPTL all the money deposited with BOT before the dispute that led to the opening of the Escrow account was resolved. Regrettably, this piece does not also shed light on the nature and salient features of the court's ruling made which it seems the AG has used very aggressively to effect the payment to IPTL, ignoring expert advice from BOT.

IPTL could be an agent of CCM which draws monies from state coffers through it secretly?!

They grumbles against each others in order to carry favor to the wananchi. Shame on them! What type of these creatures, they think they are? I bet they are recluse yahoo people!

As investigations continue in preparation for court rulings on the matter, all suspect culprits should have been sitting in custody. Keeping them in custody is required to in denying them the opportunity to disrupt evidence and hide stolen wealth where it would be difficult for the Government to locate.

Not in CCM government. How can a thief keep his fellow thief in custody?? I will never happen in CCM government.

I agree with you. It is the responsibility of Tanzanians to liberate themselves from the mafia-type corruption the rule of CCM dictatorship has created in their society. Without the help of the lady UK Minister, the RADA scandal wouldn't have been investigated and a bit of compensation made to Tanzanians. Without the pressure of Western donors this escrow scandal too wouldn't have been investigated and the truth revealed. Majority Tanzanians still belief CCM is well-caring for them and their future, and won't realize the self-centered corrupt CCM is driving their country back into the slavery past until they finally find themselves in there.

I humbly concur with your line of argument. Indeed it is the duty of some, who are educated at least, to critically inform the masses. The silence of our educated brothers, who goes by good names, doctors who never cure, professors, and even those holding certificates of various sorts, can not mean anything than betrayal to the nation. A nation brimming with minerals, oil, natural gas, natural forests, good weather, fertail soil to name a few. How can it be the least in the living conditions of her people?
Let us unite, against our common enemy, CCM and its sympathizers. Let us releave them the posts they hold. We can do more than what they are doing. Even without experience.

One does not need to be a Doc, prof, engineer to make a change. If change is going to come to Tanzania, believe you me it's going to be the uneducated mwanainchi you are despising here who will bring it. Once everyone is fed up with low income, scarce basic human needs, no medicines & doctors in hospitals, no salaries for teachers, no power, no clean water if there is water at all, gas, oil, mineral wealth not trickling to the grassroots, insecurity, land injustices, nepotism in government. Then, you will tell me if the intellectuals will take it to the streets in protest. Maybe they will be the first ones on the next fast jet to Jo'burg with their families, running away from the revolution that will bring the change we are all singing about here.

Problem is very big because it is most likely that it is a race factor behind the failure of western education to transform African leaders from ones who prioritize selfish interests rather than the interests of the societies they lead in the war they are supposed to lead against extreme levels of poverty majority Africans dwell in.
Most of progressive economies in the world are where they are because their populations and leaders understand that the prosperity of the societies they belong in matters most than personal wealth in the provision of economic security for all in the societies. The endeavors of such non-African populations and leaders have managed to create economies of scale because main they are focused on are the prosperity of the societies they belong in, then personal prosperity follow. Such populations won't take bribes which compromise common interests in the societies they belong in.

In the history of mankind, it is only African leaders are known to have sold their fellow country men and women into foreign slavery for pieces of cloth and other small-small presents from Arab slave traders. Isn't it a race factor?
And all black skinned indigenous populations (not all of African origin) found in Africa, India, South America, Australia and in the Caribbean are similarly poorer than their white skinned counterparts!!!. Isn't it a race factor?

Africans should emulate the Chinese who have managed to create modern economies of scale for themselves, thanks to their intolerance to corrupt practice and their self-reliance led collective hard-work focused on the creation of collective rather than individual prosperity.

I totally disagree with you sir, I am afraid what you wrote is incorrect. Race has nothing to do with selfishness, grid and poverty. Do you read history Sir?? If not try to find out how the developed world got to where they are. They built their empires by plundering all kinds of resources from Africa, including human resources. And they still do it up to this day and unfortunately we let them do it through our corrupt leaders. It is possible to eradicate poverty and corruption in any country as long as people are willing to make sacrifices. We just need to get the right leader in power and make sure we keep them on toes with what they are doing. I mean, these guys are working for us we have hired them to run our countries. If they fail they get fired, simple.

Yap, we really need to liberate ourselves from this corrupt government, but who is our Ken Saro-Wiwa? CHADEMA? UKAWA? or Mtikila?
