Reginald Mengi Ajibu Suala la Gesi


 Kutoka Ipp Ltd.

Septemba 7, 2013 nilipokea barua pepe (email) yenye kichwa cha habari kisemacho “ubinafsi/ufisadi wa MENGI na Chuki/Fitina kwenye Maendeleo”.


Aliyetuma email hiyo alijitambulisha kama “CCM TANZANIA” na email ilisambazwa kwa vyombo vya habari, waandishi na watu wengine wengi wakiwamo wanasiasa. Kabla ya hapo nilifowadiwa nakala ya ujumbe (SMS) na watu ambao walitumiwa na Profesa Sospeter Muhongo, Waziri wa Nishati na Madini na Mbunge inayosema;

“Ambieni Watanzania: Kampuni za Mengi zimeshikilia vitalu 59 vya madini vyenye ukubwa wa mita za mraba 3,752.37 (sq km) Amevishikilia, ameshindwa kuviendeleza. Watanzania wanakosa mapato na ajira! Sasa anataka vitalu vya gesi na mafuta. Je huu ndio uzawa?
 
Na

“Mengi hana uzawa bali ubinafsi. Anataka kufanya udalali wa vitalu vya raslimali zetu. Waelezeni Watanzania ukweli huu.”


Vile vile Septemba 5, 2013 Profesa Muhongo akijibu swali la Mwandishi wa habari lililouliza;

“Mhe. Waziri tunataka ufafanuzi kuhusu kauli yako ya hivi karibuni kwamba waTanzania hawana uwezo wa kuwekeza katika uwekezaji wa gesi asilia. Kwanza kauli hii ni kweli? Pili kauli kwamba Watanzania wanaweza kuwekeza kwenye sekta ya machungwa tu huoni kwamba si kwamba unawavunja moyo bali unadhalilisha wewekezaji wazalendo?”


Na Profesa Muhongo akajibu:

“Kila mtu alitoa mawazo ya sera ya gesi wakiwemo TPSF. Mengi na wenzake wanataka vitalu wafanye ulanguzi wa gesi na mafuta yetu. Tutatoa orodha ya vitalu vya madini vilivyoko mikononi wa Mengi ambavyo anafanya ulanguzi. Ukweli utaonyesha ubabaishaji na ulanguzi wa Mengi wa genge lake.”

Nimeona ni vyema nitumie haki yangu ya kujibu (right of reply), lakini kwa wale wanaohusika kusambaza taarifa hizo kuchafua jina langu wajue kwamba kujibu kwangu hakuondoi haki yangu ya kuchukua hatua za kisheria.

Kuingizwa kwa vitalu vya madini katika hoja ya gesi

Huo ni upotoshwaji wenye lengo la kututoa kwenye hoja ya msingi ya rasilimali yetu ya gesi. Sijawahi kufanya udalali kwenye vitalu vya madini. Huu ni uongo wa hali ya juu.

Tamko la TPSF na majibu ya Profesa Muhongo

Siku ya Agosti 28, 2013 Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF) ilifanya kikao chake cha Bodi na baadaye kufanya mkutano na waandishi wa habari. Mambo mengi yalizungumzwa katika kikao hicho ikiwa ni pamoja na uwezeshaji wa Watanzania (Economic Empowerment).

Kuhusu uwezeshaji Watanzania, mambo muhimu matatu yalijadiliwa na kutolewa mapendekezo. Mambo hayo ni 1) Manunuzi ya Umma (Public Procurement); 2) Ardhi na uvuvi; na 3) suala la gesi asilia.

Kwenye mkutano na waandishi wa habari, mimi nikiwa Mwenyekiti wa TPSF, niliwasilisha maoni ya TPSF kuhusiana na Manunuzi ya Umma, wakati Makamu Mwenyekiti wangu, Salum Shamte, aliwasilisha maoni yetu kuhusiana na sekta ya ardhi na uvuvi na mwishoni Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa TPSF, Godfrey Simbeye, aliwasilisha maoni TPSF kuhusiana na gesi asilia.

Katika maoni yake TPSF ilisisitiza umuhimu wa ushirikishwaji wa Watanzania katika uchumi wa gesi na kushauri kusitishwa ugawaji wa vitalu vya gesi hadi hapo sera ya gesi itakapokua tayari. Mwisho Bwana Simbeye alisema kwamba TPSF itaomba kukutana na Profesa Muhongo kuwasilisha mawazo na mapendekezo ya taasisi hiyo.

Siku chache baada ya TPSF kutoa maoni yake mambo mawili yalitokea. Kwanza Profesa Muhongo alijibu kupitia vyombo vya habari kwamba mpango wa kugawa vitalu vya gesi na kuingia mikataba utaendelea.

Profesa Muhongo pia alisema wazi kwamba hana mpango wa kukutana TPSF, kwani kufanya hivyo ni kupoteza muda.

Matokeo yake Profesa Muhongo hajajibu hoja kuhusiana na barua aliyoandikiwa na TPSF. Binafsi nilishitushwa na msimamo wa Profesa Muhongo kwani Serikali ya awamu ya nne imepiga hatua kubwa katika kudhihirisha kuwa ni “serikali sikivu”. Ingemgharimu nini Profesa Muhongo kukaa na kutusikiliza? Hakuna ambacho angepoteza zaidi ya dakika chache za muda wake.

Jambo la pili ambalo lilitokea ni mimi binafsi kushambuliwa kana kwamba maoni yaliyotolewa kuhusiana na gesi ni maoni yangu binafsi na si ya TPSF.

Mifano ya mashambulizi dhidi yangu ni kama nilivyoonyesha hapo juu katika email na ujumbe mfupi wa simu (SMS).

Msimamo wa Profesa Muhongo katika gesi ni upi?

Msimamo wa Profesa Muhongo mara baada ya kuteuliwa kuwa Waziri wa Nishati na Madini ulikuwa ni kutaka kupitishwa kwanza kwa sera ya gesi asilia kabla ya kuendelea na ugawaji wa vitalu vya gesi.

Septemba 2012, Profesa Muhongo alisema;


“Some of the agreements are really shoddy and they need to be revoked” and “I can’t tolerate agreements which are not in the country’s interests but they benefit a few individuals”.

Tafsiri yake ni:

“Baadhi ya mikataba ni ya ovyo, na inahitaji kuvunjwa” na “Sitovumilia mikataba ambayo haina maslahi kwa nchi na inawanufaisha wachache”.

http://www.energy-pedia.com/news/tanzania/new-151679

Baada ya hapo, Profesa Muhongo aliamrisha Bodi mpya ya TPDC kusitisha ugawaji wa vitalu vya gesi ambao ulipangwa kufanyika mwezi Septemba 2012 na kupitia upya mikataba yote. Profesa Muhongo alinukuliwa akisema:

‘Earlier this month, the state-run Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) delayed a licensing round for nine deep-sea oil and gas blocks previously set for this month until a parliamentary vote on a new gas policy in October. "Right now as a country, we are in the gas boom and we don't have gas policy in place.”

[…]

Recent gas strikes off east Africa's seaboard have led to predictions the region could become the third largest exporter of natural gas on the planet.

"Our country is reviewing its policy. Is that something new?" he said. "We want both the companies that are investing in the country and Tanzanians to benefit from the oil and gas projects."

[…]

"This is completely new business to us. We are learning," Muhongo said.’

Tafsiri yake ni:


‘Mwanzoni wa mwezi huu TPDC ilihairisha mchakato wa ugawaji wa vitalu tisa vya gesi asilia vilivyoko baharini hadi hapo Bunge litakapopitisha sera mpya ya gesi iliyowasilishwa bungeni mwezi Oktoba;

"Kwa sasa kama Taifa, tuko katika mazonge ya gesi na hatuna sera ya gesi.

"Nchi yetu inaandaa sera (ya gesi). Hicho ni kitu kipya?..."

"Tunataka kampuni zote, kampuni zinazowekeza nchini mwetu na Watanzania tunufaike na miradi ya gesi na mafuta."

"Hii ni biashara mpya kabisa kwetu. Tunajifunza."


http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/18/tanzania-exploration-idUSL5E8KIPEJ20120918

Zoezi wa la kugawa vitalu vya gesi asilia lilisitishwa lakini hadi sasa matokeo ya kupitia upya mikataba hayajatolewa hadharani.

Miezi michache baadaye, Februari 26, 2013, Profesa Muhongo alisisitiza msimamo wake wa kutaka Tanzania kuwa na sera ya gesi kabla ya kugawa vitalu zaidi. Aliyasema hayo alipokua akihutubia mkutano uliofanyika Chatham House, mjini London. Mkutano huo uliopewa jina “Tanzania: An Emerging Energy Producer”. Ulikuwa na madhumuni ya:

“Tanzania is drawing growing attention as a pivotal country in East Africa for oil and natural gas exploration, having led the region in terms of new discoveries of natural gas in 2012. With known gas reserves of approximately 7.5 billion cubic feet, the potential to transform Tanzania's international standing and domestic electricity production is considerable. However, recent protests against the construction of a pipeline to Dar es Salaam highlight the challenges that Tanzania faces in ensuring that the benefits of its natural resources are widely felt.


Tafsiri yake ni:

“Tanzania inaonyesha kuja juu katika Afrika Mashariki kwa uvumbuzi wa mafuta na gesi asilia baada ya kuongoza kwa uvumbuzi wa gesi asilia mwaka 2012. Ikiwa na wastani wa futi za ujazo bilioni 7.5, ni dhahiri itasaidia Tanzania kupaa katika anga za Kimataifa na kusaidia uzalishaji wa umeme kwa matumizi ya ndani. Hata hivyo, vurugu za hivi karibuni kupinga ujenzi wa bomba la gesi kwenda Dar es Salaam inaashiria changamoto mpya ambazo Tanzania sasa inakabiliana nazo kuhakikisha kwamba manufaa ya gesi asilia yanawafikia watu wengi zaidi wa chini.”


Alichowasilisha Profesa Muhongo katika mkutano huo kwa ufupi kinapatikana katika tovuti hii;

http://www.chathamhouse.org/events/view/189235

Kama inavyonekana kwenye kiambatanisho, moja ya nyaraka aliyowasilisha Profesa Muhongo inaonyesha kwamba mchakato wa kuanza ugawaji wa vitalu ungeanza baada ya kupitishwa kwa sera ya gesi.

Hadi sasa hatuna sera ya gesi asilia.

Lakini jambo la kushangaza, Profesa Muhongo amebadilika na anataka vitalu vigawiwe kabla ya kuwapo kwa sera gesi.

Sababu za kubadilika kwa Profesa Muhongo hazina mashiko

Profesa Muhongo amenukuliwa na gazeti la Daily News la Agosti 31, 2013 akieleza sababu zake za kutaka vitalu vigawanywe kabla ya kupitishwa kwa sera ya gesi. Sababu kuu alizozisema ni tatu; (1) Ushindani wa soko na majirani zetu akitolea mfano wa Msumbiji (2) Sheria ya mwaka 1960 iliyoanzisha TPDC na Sheria ya Petroli ya mwaka 1980 kwamba zinatosha kusimamia ugawaji wa vitalu akimaanisha sera na sheria mpya zitafuata baada ya ugawaji wa vitalu; na (3) Watanzania hawana uwezo wa kuwekeza katika sekta hii akimaanisha waachiwe wageni peke yao.

Maelezo kwamba tunashindana na Msumbiji haya halalishi ugawaji vitalu kabla ya sera. Utafiti wa gesi asilia ni jambo linachokua muda mrefu, ndio maana TPDC wanaingia kwenye mikataba ya muda mrefu (isiyozidi miaka 11 kwenye utafiti na miaka 25 kwenye uchimbaji). Kwa hiyo kusubiri miezi michache ili Bunge letu liidhinishe sera, haiwezi kuathiri ushindani wa kibiashara. Hata nchi Msumbiji anayoizungumzia hivi sasa inapitia upya mpango wake wa uwekezaji katika gesi asilia na kuingiza sera na sheria mpya zitakazo simamia rasilimali hiyo. Katika mahojiano yaliofanyika na jarida la Africa Report mwezi Julai mwaka huu, Naibu Waziri wa Nishati wa Msumbiji, Mh. Abdul Razak Noormahomed, alisema madhumuni ya mabadiliko hayo ni kuwapa kipaumbele wananchi wa Msumbiji.

Mohojiano haya yanapatikana katika anuani ifuatayo:

http://www.theafricareport.com/Interview/extractive-industry-the-goal-is-to-give-an-edge-to-mozambicans-noormahomed.html).

Kama nilivyoeleza hapo juu, mara baada ya Profesa Muhongo kuingia wizarani alisema kinaga ubaga kwamba sheria iliyopo haikidhi mahitaji ya sekta ya gesi asilia ndiyo maana akasimamisha ugawaji wa vitalu vya gesi na kuamrisha mikataba ipitiwe upya na sera ipatikane. Leo tunashuhudia Profesa Muhongo akila matapishi yake na kusema kwamba sheria zile zile alizoziponda sasa zinafaa.

Kauli ya Profesa Muhongo kwamba wafanyabiashara wa Tanzania wanaweza tu kushiriki biashara ya juisi na soda na hawana uwezo wa kushiriki katika biashara ya gesi yao ni dharau.

Kigezo gani Profesa Muhongo anatumia kutoa kauli ya jumla yenye kutawaliwa na hisia? Amefanya utafiti gani kupima uwezo wa kifedha wa wafanyabiashara wa kitanzania? Kwa taarifa yake, wapo wafanyabiashara wengi ambao wanaweza kupata fedha kwa ajili ya kuchimba visima vya gesi.

Ni dhahiri kwamba Profesa Muhongo anathamini tu kampuni za kigeni, anasahau kwamba kuna mifano ya kuwapo kampuni za kigeni ambazo zimekua zikifanya udalali hapa nchini kwa miaka mingi kwenye rasilimali za nchi yetu ikiwa ni pamoja na madini na gesi.

Uzalendo wangu:

Ningependa kupuuza tuhuma kwamba mimi si mzalendo Wantanzania wanafahamu ukweli. Vile vile ningependa kupuuza tuhuma kwamba mimi ni mbinafsi na sipendi maendeleo ya Watanzania wenzangu kwa hili pia Watanzania wanafahamu ukweli

Kuhusu Kilimanjaro Hoteli na mgogoro na Yussuf Manji n.k, mtizamo wako unategemea wewe upo katika kundi lipi kati ya kundi safi la waadilifu au kundi chafu la wala rushwa. Watanzania wanafahamu msimamo wangu kwenye hili.

Mimi sipingi kuwepo kwa wawekezaje wageni katika sekta ya gesi lakini kuna mambo mawili napigania. Kwanza Watanzania wanufaike na rasilimali yao ya gesi na pili iwepo sera ya gesi inayotoa kipaumbele kwa Watanzania

Mimi napenda maendeleo ya nchi yangu; kwa hiyo hata siku moja siwezi kupinga uwekezaji ama ubia na wawekezaji. Ninachosimamia ni manufaa kwa nchi yangu.

Tuhuma kwamba nafanya kampeni dhidi ya wizara

Tuhuma kwamba nimeandaa kongamano kwa ajili ya vijana wa Chadema si za kweli. Huu ni uzushi usio na kichwa wala miguu. Vile vile madai kwamba naitumia vibaya vyombo vya habari vya IPP Media si ya kweli hata kidogo ikizingatiwa kwamba hata mahojiano ya Profesa Muhongo kwa simu akiwa Austria, yalirushwa na kituo cha redio cha Radio Stereo kinachomilikiwa na kampuni yangu ya ITV-Independent Television Limited.

Hitimisho

Julai mwaka huu, Rais wa Marekani Barack Obama, alihitimisha ziara yake ya Kiserikali nchini Tanzania, kwa kusema;

“Ultimately the goal here is for Africa to build Africa for Africans.”

Akimaanisha kwamba, Hatimaye Lengo ni Africa kujenga Africa kwaajili ya Waafrica


Profesa Muhongo asipingane na ushauri huu mzuri.

Nimalizie kwa kuwahakikishia Watanzania kwamba mashambulizi binafsi dhidi yangu yenye nia mbaya ya kunishushia heshima hayatakaa yafanikiwe.

Wenu,

Dk. Reginald A. Mengi

Ziwa Lagunduliwa chini ya Jangwa Nchini Kenya!

Walikuwa wanatafuta mafuta, badala yake wakagundua maji! Kuna maji kibao chini ya janwa la Kenya. Wataalamu wanasema kuwa hayo maji yanaweza kutosheleza mahitaji ya nchi ya Kenya kwa miaka 70! Hiyo sehemu ambapo wamegundua maji ina ukame ile mbaya! Je, wakifanikiwa kuweka mabomba hayo maji yatatumika vizuri?  Na kumbuka wamegundua maji chini ya Sudan lakini bado hawajachimba kwa sababu ya vita.

 ********************************************************

Delaware-sized lake discovered beneath Kenya desert

Scientists say the aquifer may have enough water to fill the parched area's needs indefinitely.

Scientists using technology for discovering oil have found a vast underground water reservoir in one of Kenya’s driest regions that could supply the country's needs for nearly 70 years, potentially turning arid zones into lush farmlands
The new reserves are located in a basin in the extreme northwest that has a surface area the size of Delaware, and is estimated to hold billions of gallons, nearly nine times Kenya’s current reserves.
Almost half of Kenya’s 41 million people have no access to clean water, and farmers in arid areas struggle to raise crops without adequate irrigation.

Scientists say it is possible that, along with water run-off from surrounding hills and plains that replenish the aquifer, the newly discovered resources could fulfill the country's water demands indefinitely.

Tapping the new reserves in the basin, located in Kenya's northern Turkana region, may allow for vast new zones of farmland in landscapes where today even the hardiest plants struggle to survive.
“The news about these water reserves comes at a time when reliable water supplies are highly needed,” Judi Wakhungu, cabinet secretary at the Kenyan environment, water, and natural resources ministry, said in a statement.
“This newly found wealth of water opens a door to a more prosperous future for the people of Turkana and the nation as a whole," Ms. Wakhungu added. “We must now work to further explore these resources responsibly and safeguard them for future generations."

THE HITCH
If there is one hitch, the basin is in a remote area in the extreme northwest. It lies close to Kenya's borders with South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Uganda in an area sparsely populated and prone to conflict over existing scarce resources.
The land that lies above the reservoir is among the most hostile in Kenya. There are few roads or electricity supplies, and the Turkana, Samburu, and Pokot tribes that live there are regularly at war with each other.
The border area between Kenya, South Sudan, and Ethiopia, known as the Ilemi Triangle, has never been officially delineated.
Constructing, fueling, and maintaining boreholes, and building pipelines to bring the water supplies to remote communities, can pose significant difficulties.
WHO FOUND IT?
The discovery was made by researchers from a Texas-based company, Radar Technologies, with assistance from the Kenyan government and Unesco. The team layered satellite, radar and geological maps on top of each other and then used seismic techniques developed to find oil, to identify the reservoir.
“It is important to say that these are early estimates, and these resources must be managed well in order that they benefit the people of Kenya,” says Mohamed Djelid, Unesco’s East Africa director. “But if all goes well, we can say that this really is a game changer.”

Kenya’s government will now carry out further drilling in areas surrounding the sites where the new water supplies were first drawn to the surface, to gather more data on their full extent.
In the past there have been similar announcements of massive new water finds beneath Africa’s driest areas. In 2007, scientists said that they had identified an underground “megalake” in Sudan’s war-torn Darfur region that was 10 times the size of the Kenyan discovery, but its bounty has yet to be tapped.
“Knowing there’s water there, and then getting it to the surface, are two different things,” says Brian McSorley, a water expert at Oxfam in Nairobi. He added that, "There will need to be decent follow up studies and then proper investment to ensure that these newly-discovered resources benefit the poorest people.”

The aquifers lie as deep as 1,000 feet, which poses significant technological and cost challenges compared to shallower reserves, Mr. McSorley says but notes that, “Having said all that, the figures are encouraging and I think this needs to be cautiously welcomed.”

Mtalii Auwawa na Tembo Tanzania!


READ MORE HERE:

The late Dr. Thomas McAfee
University of California, San Diego dean and doctor Thomas McAfee was tragically trampled to death over the weekend by an elephant while on safari in Tanzania at the Tarangire National Park, the Daily Mail reports.

McAfee, 58, had been spending the last of his vacation in the country, just days before he was about to start his new job as chief executive of the Keck Medicine of USC Medical Foundation on Sept. 3.

His sudden death has been met with shock by family and colleagues, as little details have been released so far surrounding the exact circumstances of what happened that fateful Saturday, though the Daily Mail reports that it was an elephant that attacked McAfee.
"It's a true tragedy and great loss to all of us at UCSD. We are planning several events in celebration of Dr. McAfee's life," Mounir Soliman, assistant vice chancellor and executive director of Health Sciences International, wrote in an email to NBC San Diego.

"Dr. McAfee served us and worked alongside us for more than 11 years, and his death is a great loss - both to many of us personally, and to the field of health care which would have benefited enormously from his talent and dedication in coming years," David Brenner, MD, along with Paul Viviano and Larry Friedman, MD, released in an email on Sunday to the UCSD staff.

"Dr. McAfee was adventurous in spirit, loved to visit new places and to meet new people," they wrote. "A celebration of his life will be held in coming weeks for the Health Sciences community."
According to the Daily Mail, it is estimated that 500 people a year are killed by elephants in Africa and Asia, as when angry and charging, these enormous land animals can be a deadly force. Although most elephant charges are "mock" threats, if the elephant's ears are pinned back flat against its head and its trunk is curled inward, chances are it is likely to follow through with its charge
.
While his death certificate is being made, McAfee's body will remain in the African country, as there is no word yet on when he will be flown back to the U.S.

Dawa ya Kuzuia Busha

Hawatokwenda kunywa dawa za kuzuia upofu, ngirimaji-busha na watagoma kupasuliwa busha kwa imani potufu lisha ya mabango haya vijijini na mijini. NGO hadi za nchi ya nje zipo kutuelimisha na kutugharimia lakini matokeo madogo lawama tu.

Mombasa Port Loses Business as Exporters Opt for Dar es Salaam

--
Kenya Port Authority (KPA) is losing business to rival Dar es Salaam port as delay in cargo clearance in Mombasa prompts traders from neighbouring countries to turn to Tanzania.
Data from KPA shows that the Mombasa port handled 18.9 per cent less or 552,449 tonnes of cargo from Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and the DRC in the nine months to September.
As a result, the port relied on Uganda and South Sudan—that have little choice on their logistic corridor—to grow its export cargo volumes to 3.9 million tonnes in the nine months compared to 3.8 million tonnes in the same period last year.
Shippers attribute the trend to the shorter period it takes to transport cargo from the port of Dar es Salaam compared to Mombasa which is facing congestion that has seen transporters take more than a month to reach Rwanda from three weeks.
“We are losing business to Tanzania because of inefficiency at the port,” said Gerald Kagumo, the vice chairman of East Africa Freight Forwarders Association.

Ajali ya Ndege ya Tanzanair Lake Manyara Katika Picha

Photos of the plane crash in Tanzania yesterday! It was the private company Tanzanair chartered by tourists. It crash landed in Lake Manyara.    The photos are from Facebook:  
Kutoka Aviation Safety:
* A chartered Beechcraft B200C Super King Air was forced to carry out a ditching in the waters of Lake Manyara in Tanzania. The airplane had lost engine power while en route between Bukoba and Zanzibar, Tanzania. Final destination of the flight was Dar es Salaam.  All seven occupants were rescued by fishermen.
 





From All Africa.com
Seven people on board a chartered TanzanAir aircraft from Bukoba town to Dar es Salaam, narrowly escaped death when it made an emergency landing in Lake Manyara, Babati, Manyara Region, on Thursday morning.
The Arusha Regional Police Commander (RPC), Mr Liberatus Sabas, told the 'Daily News' in a telephone interview that all the six passengers and the pilot were in good condition.
He named the passengers as Aneth Kashasha (51), Mutabihirwa Regina (58), Aloys Mwanga (60), Navuli Meeda (80), Ashura Ruta (38) and Protase Ishengoma (45) all residents of Dar es Salaam.
The pilot was identified by single name as Capt Kondo of TanzanAir with registration number 5H TZW. According to RPC Sabas, the charter plane was flying from Bukoba to Dar es Salaam via Zanzibar.
He said the plane developed mechanical problems in one of its engines and the pilot decided to make an emergency landing on the waters of Lake Manyara. The passengers were rescued by fishermen who rushed them to Selian Hospital for treatment.
The Manyara Regional Commissioner, Mr Akili Mpwapwa, said the incident occurred in the Babati section of the water body striding Lake Manyara National Park. Mr Sabas said three among the six passengers sustained minor injuries.
"We thank God all the six passengers and the pilot are in good condition," he said. Sources said Ishengoma, Kashasha and Mwanga had been in Bukoba to attend the funeral of Joseph Mushumbusi's mother, the late Ernestina Mujwahuzi, who was buried at Kanazi Village, in Bukoba Rural District on Wednesday.
Soon after news of the crash reached Bukoba town, friends and relatives of the passengers on board the plane made frantic efforts to know the fate of their beloved ones, fearing the worst.
The Tanzania National Parks through its Public Relations Manager, Mr Paschal Shelutete said efforts to remove the wreckage from the site were going on. This is the third plane crash to occur in Arusha this year, the first one claimed the life of Mr Joseph Macha, the Arusha prominent businessman popularly known as Bob Sambeke, who crashed while trying to land at Arusha Airport, last April.
Two weeks ago, the flying doctor's plane which was traveling from Enduleni Ward of Ngorongoro District to Arusha via Longido also crashed at Merugway Village in Longido District with six patients and two pilots on board.

CIA Walivyomchora Rais Kikwete Kabla ya Kuwa Rais

 Kutoka WikiLeaks:

The President of Tanzania Hon. Jakaya Kikwete


C) Kikwete represents the "young Turk" segment of the CCM party. He is popular, politically adroit, charismatic and very ambitious. In socially conservative Tanzania, however, Kikwete's relative youth - he is 55 - has worked against him. So has his playboy reputation. As the party has increasingly emphasized experience and education, Kikwete has a built an impressive resume. Since 1995, Kikwete has been Foreign Minister and also the MP for Chalinze Constituency. Previous government positions include Minister for Finance (1994-95), and Deputy Minister, then Minister for Energy, Minerals and Water (1990- 94.) For the twenty years before his government service, Kikwete served in various positions in the CCM party, and in its predecessor party, TANU.

 7. (U) Kikwete comes from the small town of Msogo, on the coast near Bagamoyo. He has a BA in economics from the University of Dar es Salaam.

 8. (C) An able politician, Kikwete is a somewhat unenthusiastic administrator. On Embassy row, his Foreign Ministry has a reputation for being understaffed and minimally responsive. Kikwete himself is personable, and conveys the impression that he will at least consider the views of foreign diplomats. Kikwete has signaled that he might discuss signing an Article 98 agreement with the US; the current President Benjamin Mkapa has firmly closed the door on any agreement for the remainder of his Presidency. For years, observers of the Great Lakes conflicts have considered Kikwete to be virulently pro-Hutu. Rumors that he was facilitating arms transfers to Burundian Hutu rebels persisted, but have never been substantiated. Kikwete's marriage to a cousin of former Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana may have fueled these rumors, which are now fading as the Burundi conflict winds down.

CAN I TRUST YOU?

Dear Friend,

My Name is Mrs.Bakara Wachiri from Syria. The message you are about to read is a pleasant surprise. I know you will also wonder how I found you and choose you for this great service. I have being searching through public records until my instinct firmly settled on you that you can be trusted to execute and accomplish the objective bellow. I understand that if i should find someone capable of doing this then I must search deeply and pray hard.

Firstly, I am married to Mr Fara Wachiri.A gold merchant who owns a small gold Mine in Burkina Faso. We were married for Eleven years without a child. And he died of Cardiovascular Disease before the uprising in Syria began in mid-March 2011. During his life time he deposited the sum of US$ 7.2m (Seven million two hundred thousand dollars) in a bank in Ouagadougou the capital city of Burkina Faso in West Africa. Presently this money is still in the bank without claim. He made the money from gold exportation around the world.

At the time of his illness, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The one thing that disturbs me mostly is my stroke illness. My doctor confidentially told me i have less chance to live. Having known my condition, I decided to contact you to claim the fund and act as an executor of my will since none of my husband’s relation or mine is alive. They were killed during the war in my country Syria when they were fleeing from the country to Jordan. If you agree to be the executor of my will and claim the fund then you will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct you…………

You will take 30 % Percent of the total money While 70% of the money will go to charity and the orphanage homes. I will provide to you names and contact information of charity organizations and orphanage homes to receive the donation. If this money remains unclaimed after my death, the bank executives or the government will take the money as unclaimed fund and maybe Use it for selfish and worthless ventures.
As soon as I receive your response I shall give to you the contact of the bank in Burkina Faso for the claim. I will also provide to you a copy of the existence of the fund and a letter of authorization to legally transfer the fund to you as the executor of my will. Significantly, if you assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated above.

I may not write regularly as expected since I write to you by the assistance of a nurse in the hospital. Note that this task requires urgent action. Kindly reply me through bakarawach2021@gmail.com

Yours hopefully,

Mrs.Bakara Wachiri.

Greetings


Greetings
I know that this letter may be a very big surprise to you, and I believe that you will be honest to fulfill my final wish before I will die.
I am Mrs. Gina Jose, I am 58 years old, I am suffering from a long time cancer of the breast. From all indication my condition is really deteriorating, and my doctors have courageously advised me that I may not live beyond next month, this is because the cancer stage has reached a critical stage.
I was brought up in a motherless babys home, and was married to my late husband for twenty years with only one surviving daughter and she is under-age. my husband was avery successful business man in Gold, but Unfortunately my husband died in a fatal Auto accident.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of $1.9million dollars with a Financial Company.
Presently, this money is still in their custody, and the management just wrote
me as the legitimate depositor to inform me of the maturity date of my deposit or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over as a result of my illness, or they get it confiscated.
i am from FRANCE, but i resided with my husband in west africa, but Presently, I'm in the UNITED KINDOM where I have been undergoing treatment in the hospital. I have since lost my ability to talk loud and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.
It is my last wish to see that my fund is invested in any charity organization of your choice and proceeds distribution among the charity organization, the motherless baby's orphanage homes.
I must let you know that this was a very hard decision, but I had to take a bold step towards this issue because I have no further option. I hope you will help see my last wishes come true.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Financial Company. I will also issue you a letter of authority, which will prove that you are the new beneficiary of my funds.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hope to hear from you soonest.
Please kindly write me on ginajose070@gmail.com
Yours Faithfully,
Gina Jose

 Dear Beloved,

As you read this, I dont want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Omar Hasan a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared or anyone (not even myself) but my business.

Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want Allah to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give also to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity Organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan , they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Thirty Five million dollars $35,000,000,00 that I have with a financial Security Firm abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside 35% for your time and service. Please reply me with honesty as soon as you receive this mail.

Regards,
Omar Hasan

Bilionea Msuya kuzikwa leo, Jeneza lafunguliwa kwa ‘rimoti’

 Marehemu Erasto Msuya, alikuwa bilionea. Mnashangaa nini jeneza lake likifunguliwa kwa remote control? Rest in peace.


*************************************

The late Tanzanian Billionaire Erasto Msuya. He was murdered.


Kutoka Gazeti la MWANANCHI:

Arusha - Mazishi ya kifahari yanaandaliwa na familia ya marehemu Erasto Msuya, huku ikielezwa kuwa jeneza litakalotumika kubeba mwili wake linafunguka kwa kutumia ‘rimoti’.
Msuya aliyeuawa wiki iliyopita, anazikwa leo huku familia ikitangaza kutokulipiza kisasi kwa waliohusika, badala yake wamemwachia Mungu.
Kinachovutia katika msiba huo ni jeneza lililobeba mwili wa mfanyabiashara huyo lililoagizwa Nairobi, la aina yake huku likifunguliwa kwa kutumia ‘rimoti’.
Jeneza hilo lililoagizwa kutoka Kampuni ya Montezuma & Monalisa Funeral Home, linafunguliwa kwa kubonyeza kifaa maalumu hata mhusika anapokuwa mbali.
Hali hiyo ilionekana kuwaacha na mshangao maelfu ya waombolezaji waliofika kuaga mwili wakati wa ibada iliyofanyika nyumbani kwake, Kwa Iddi, wilayani Arumeru.
Mfanyabiashara huyo aliyeuawa kwa kumiminiwa risasi zaidi ya 20 na watu wasiojulikana, anazikwa leo nyumbani kwao eneo la Kairo Mirerani, Wilaya ya Simanjiro, mkoani Manyara.
Kaka wa marehemu, Israel Msuya, alisema jana kuwa mazishi hayo yatafanyika makaburi ya familia ya mzee Elisaria Msuya ‘Kikaango’, baba wa marehemu Erasto.
Kwa mujibu wa Kamati ya Maandalizi ya mazishi hayo inayoongozwa na kaka mkubwa wa familia ya Msuya, Gady, zaidi ya Sh100 milioni zimepangwa kugharimia shughuli za maombolezo na mazishi.
Jeneza na gari maalumu la kubebea mwili wa marehemu yameagizwa kutoka Kampuni ya Montezuma & Monalisa Funeral Home ya Nairobi, Kenya kwa gharama ya Sh8 milioni.
Chakula, vinywaji, mapambo na magari ya kukodishwa kutoka Arusha kwenda Mirerani na kurudi yanatarajiwa kugharimu zaidi ya Sh80 milioni.
Katika hatua nyingine, polisi mkoani Arusha imeendelea kuwahoji wafanyabiashara maarufu wa madini ya Tanzanite wa Mji mdogo wa Mirerani, wilayani Simanjiro, wakidaiwa kuhusika na kifo hicho.
Habari zilizopatikana jana zinadai mfanyabiashara mmoja kijana ambaye aliibuka ghafla kuwa tajiri mkubwa kutokana na biashara ya madini ya Tanzanite, anashikiliwa Arusha kwa mahojiano.


Jana, kwenye viunga vya Mji wa Mirerani watu walitangaziwa kuwa mfanyabiashara huyo, alikuwa anashikiliwa kwa mahojiano kuhusiana na kifo hicho.
Hata hivyo, Kamanda wa Polisi wa Mkoa wa Arusha, Liberatus Sabas, hakupatikana mara moja kuelezea suala hilo kwani simu yake ilipopigwa ilikuwa haipatikani.
Marehemu ameacha mke na watoto wanne, huku akiacha rasilimali nyingi ikiwamo jumba la kifahari lililopo Sakina kwa Idd, hoteli maarufu za SG Resort na Mezza Luna zilizopo Arusha.
