Sheria TANESCO: Haya ndo wanayoyafanya!
7th February 2010, 12:21 AM
Wadau sitaki kuwachosha sana kwenye hili, siku zote nimekuwa nikiamini kabisa kutoka na kuvurunda kwingi kwa Serikali yetu, labda na baadhi ya ofisi za umma zimekuwa zikiendeshwa wa watu ambao pengine upeo wao ki taaluma ni duni au ni wa kutia mashaka kama sio ule wa kupenda kurahisha mambo (business as usual ) hata kama ni nyeti na yenye kuhitaji umakini wa hali ya juu.
Hili limekuwa ni tatiso na pengine Serikali imejikuta ikiingia gharama kubwa kwa uzembe wa kutoangalia utendaji kwa watumishi wake kwani wengine wamekuwa akipewa dhaman kubwa ya ushuri na kuendesha majukumu mazito yenye mslahi ya taifa wakati huwezo wao ni mdogo kitaaluma.
Haya nimeyakuwata kwenye Mtandao wa Shirika Letu Nyeti la Ugavi wa UMEME (TANESCO) ambalo bado tunalia nalo kwa kushindwa kufanikisha mambo mengi
Hbarai hii ni kuhusu majukumu ya Kitengo/Idara nyeti ya Sheria ambyo kimsingi ndiyo muhimu kusaidia kushauri Shirika na Serikali kwa ujumlla kuhusu masuala yote ya kisheria ambayo TANESCO na wateja wake wanapaswa kuyaelewa kiundani na kwa ufasaha.
Mtazamo wangu umejikita zaidi kwenye hayo niliyoyabainisha kwa nyekundu “highlights”. Ebu tusaidiane katika hili Jamani, mwenzenu inanisiklitisha na naumia sana kama hali ipo hivi ns watu bado wavuta mpunga tu kwa nafsi huko maofisini.

Recently the company premises and infrastructure have been faced with the rampant theft, vandalism and sabotage of its properties.
In curbing the same the department has devised a system in which any person at large who has any knowledge of any theft, vandalism and sabotage of Company properties will be rewarded on basis of the information so supplied to the Company. These “informers” are treated confidentially and all matters in which they report is confidential and their identities are also protected.
In ensuring that rewards are properly administered a reward structure has been developed for the following incidences:
i. Theft of transformer oil (if caught red-handed or found in possession of used transformer oil not less than 100 litres)
ii. Theft of transformer oil (found in possession of used transformer oil less than 100 litres)

LEGISLATION
TANZANIA ELECTRIC SUPPLY COMPANY LIMITED (TANESCO Ltd) is a company limited fully owned by the Government of Tanzania under the Ministry of Energy and Minerals and hence was duly registered under the Companies Act Cap 12 [R. E. 2002] as amended, under the Registrar of Companies under the Business Registration and Licensing Authority (BRELA) (. The New Electricity Act No. 10 of 2008 as amended which repeals the Electricity Act Cap 131[R. E. 2002] is the law that facilitates and regulates generation, transmission, distribution, supply and use of electric energy and hence is the main act that governs TANESCO Ltd works as being the current sole licensee.
Since sometime in 2001 the Government has formed a Regulatory Authority is the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA) under the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority Act Cap 414 [R. E. 2002] as amended which is an Act which has established the Regulatory Authority in relation to energy and water utilities and it provides for its operation in place of former Authorities and for related matters.
(alot of blaaa blaaaaaaa)…
All these obligation which are required by the Act to be followedby TANESCO are essentially the customers rights and privileges. But in line with these rights and privileges the customer also has several obligations to TANESCO under the law. In particular TANESCO is entitled to recover from the customer’s losses which it may suffer if any of the following scenarios were to happen under section 26 (6) of the Electricity Act No. 10 of 2008:
Further under section 28 of the Electricity Act No. 10 of 2008 TANESCO has the power to disconnect the supply of electricity to a customer who;
a) Unlawfully connectedto the electricity systems; or
b) Is in breach of his contractual obligation in respect of electricity supply.
The section under sub (2) further goes on to require that TANESCO reconnects a customer electricity service upon full payment of a past due account and reconnection fees.
Finally under section 28 (3) both TANESCO and the customer have been given the option to refer to any dispute in relation to payment obligations to EWURA
Otherwise monitoring, inspection, investigations and compliance with all aspects with regards to the performance of TANESCO will be done by EWURA as stipulated under Part V of the Electricity Act No. 10 of 2008.
TANESCO’s installation are all placed on public land the act in envisaging the need for construction of new electricity lines has conferred the right of TANESCO to acquire land pursuant to the land laws of the country including payment of compensation. It also gives TANESCO the right to enter into private property for the purposes of operating, repairing and maintaining its facilities. This has been discussed under Part VI of the Electricity Act No. 10 of 2008 under section 34, 35 and 36.
Not withstanding Rural Electrification and a Rural Energy Agency has been former under the Rural Energy Act No. 8 of 2005. The Agency will be responsible for the monitoring and evaluation and establishment of targets for rural electrification.
