Probe into 36 grand graft cases 'complete'

Director General for Reli Assets Holding Company (RAHCO) Eng Benhadard Tito
 
 
  Include, USD6 million in Treasury bond deal
  TRL Sh238bn wagon deal, oil firm 8.5bn/- tax evasion
 
 scores of high-profile traders and senior public officials are to face legal action following   completion of a probe into 36 grand corruption cases.
 
 
 
 
The Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) yesterday reported that it has completed investigations of 36 grand corruption cases and has already submitted four of them to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
   
Speaking to reporters in Dar es Salaam, PCCB Acting Director General Valentino Mlowola said the cases involve high profile businessmen and senior public officials. 
 
He said the submitted cases include a tax evasion case levied against a prominent oil firm that is accused of causing the government a loss of 8.5bn/- after it allegedly sold in the country some 17,461,111.58 liters of petrol that were declared for a neighbouring country.
 
Another mega corruption scandal on the DDP desk now is that involving high ranking government officials who pocketed USD6 million in bribes for a Treasury bond deal with a United Kingdom bank. 
 
The allegations say the hefty bribe facilitated the purchase of USD600 million treasury bonds in 2013 by the UK-based Standard Bank. 
 
Yet another case is that involving the Director General for Reli Assets Holding Company (RAHCO) Eng Benhadard Tito who was sacked by President John Magufuli over flaws in his awarding of a procurement tender for the construction of a 15trn/- standard gauge railway line.
 
Another case is that involving the controversial purchase of Sh238 billion worth of Tanzania Railway Limited (TRL) wagons. In this case too there were faults with the tendering process and also the quality of the wagons is in question. 
 
Mlowola also warned all government officials and the business community at large against corruption saying the institution will not hesitate to take prompt and stern action against them.
 
He also warned accounting officers in different public institutions to follow legal procedures otherwise they too will face the law.
 
“We will take appropriate legal action for any violations of laws, rules and regulations and anyone who will be involved in corruption or embezzlement of public funds will be prosecuted,” he warned.

TAZAMA PICHA 30 ZA MREMBO AGNES MASOGANGE AKIJIACHIA KISTAA NJE YA NCHI One cannot tell if two Nigerian music stars are now sharing the same girl on bed going by reports making the rounds. This question is coming after there were indications that Davido and Tekno may be sleeping with the same lady. In November, the Omo Baba Olowo crooner had fun with some girls on his birthday and one of them was Agnes Masogange. She was even rumoured recently to be carrying Davido’s second child, but that was swiftly dispelled. Interestingly, not too long ago, Agnes started posting and deleting clues that she was having an affair with Tekno, allegedly spending time with him in his South Africa hotel room. Tekno posted similar ones with him alone in them, which made his fans conclude that he is dating the girl. But this has made the singer to delete all the clues from his page.

By Zitto Kabwe Kutoka Hotuba ya Waziri Mkuu 26.08.2011 – Makampuni yanayoogoza kwa kulipa kodi Note: (Highlights) Only one Mining company (the smallest i.e. - Resolute Mining), only one telecom company(Airtel Tanzania). Household names like:  MeTL, Bakhresa/Azam, IPP, VodaCom, Coca cola, Pepsi(SABCO), Serengeti Breweries, Barrick Gold, ACACIA, AngloGold Ashanti not seen. No oil marketing companies pia.
