The British Government is aware of a statement made by the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) on 8 November 2010. At this stage the case relating to BAe and its dealings in Tanzania is yet to go to court in the UK. It is therefore not possible to draw conclusions either way relating to those who were interviewed in connection with the case. NOTES FOR EDITORS:
On 5 February 2010, the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) announced that it had reached a settlement with BAe following an investigation into a defence contract with the Government of Tanzania.
Regarding Tanzania, BAe has admitted that it failed to keep reasonably accurate accounting records in relation to its activities here. BAe has said it will plead guilty to the aforementioned offence, and that it will pay a sum of £30 million by way of a penalty and also for reparation to Tanzania. A hearing in the crown court will determine the amount of the financial order (fine) with the balance to be made available as an ex-gratia payment to the people of Tanzania.
The plea agreement between BAE and the SFO brought to an end all outstanding investigations by the SFO. However, because the plea agreement has not yet been before the crown court in the UK, it is not possible to say at this stage whether the agreement will stand.
A crown court judge will determine whether the plea agreement between the SFO and BAE can be accepted. The hearing will start on 23 November.
Tuwasubiri pccb watarudi na na nini!(aibu tupu)
ReplyDeletesasa jamani ile kauli ya TAKUKURU inamaanisha kitu gani ?
ReplyDeletekwa kweli ni mambo ya kusikitisha sana
I haven't read Mr. Hosea(PCCB) report on the case and whether there were convictions however,I presume he,The accused are at large and still allegedly to have conspired in the unscrupulous radar deal for, from the facts of the case, some of them,their offshore accounts ...were credited with millions supposedly from illegal sources relating to the scandal.Now,the case might have been closed off in TZ(I don't know) in turn,it allows them or him rather, to run for the office but hadn't really yet wound down here in the UK for various reasons as ones in the letter.... the company(BAE Systems) still suffers reputational risks from investors and its share price still take a battering daily....TZ has her own constitution and accordingly,shouldn't act and follow decisions retrospectively and be governed by the postmotems of the case from the UK...what it should have done,I think it had,is to Implicate an individual with the allegation,convict them,find them guilt in the proceedings of the case and stitch them or rather imprison them.

well, yangu macho!
ReplyDeleteNdio maana tulitaka kuona upande wa pili wa shillingi hii yaani maelezo ya PCCB na maelezo ya SFO/BAE/Crown Court UK ndipo tuamini kuwa watuhumiwa wamesafishwa kwa sheria zote za Tanzania na United Kingdom.
ReplyDeleteTunashukuru kwa ubalozi wa Uingereza Tanzania kutupatia maelezo mafupi lakini ya kueleweka kabisa kuwa mambo ya RADAR bado hayajafikia tamati.

Chenge ni bora unyamaze kabisa usithubutu kufungua mdomo na mkurugenzi wa Takukuru tunaomba statement nyingine ulikuwa na maana gani?
ReplyDeleteOhoo! Thanks British High Commission, I should call you commission for justice and fair for Tanzania.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the way we are being fooled by our serious state organ, It pain. I call other international community to work like British High Commission. It has shown high entegrity to the eyes of Tanzanian and Africa in general.
PCCP vuta soksi, utendaji wenu umekuwa wa ubabaishaji sana tena sana. Nakumbuka RICHMOND mulihadaa taarifa na hii ya RADAR mnataka mchakachue.
Ujue mnaripwa Kodi zetu fanyeni kazi kwa umakini, au tutafuta shirika hilo alafu tuingie na mikataba na makampuni binafsi ya kubampana na Rushwa.
Baraka.
Mwaka huu, watu watazeeka sura kwa nyuso kushuka kwa aibu, khaa! PCCB, where the hell is your integrity? Whatever you are doing, for whose interest if I may ask? And in exchange for what?
ReplyDeleteAma mnatuchosha....
