Minister tells how he bought Sh656m house

Natural Resources and Tourism minister Ezekiel Maige

Natural Resources and Tourism minister Ezekiel Maige yesterday denied reports that he acquired a posh house in Dar es Salaam’s upmarket Mbezi Beach area through corruption.

Mr Maige told The Citizen in an exclusive interview that he bought the house on Plot 2001-2002 Block E for $410,000 (about Sh656 million at current exchange rates).

Media reports this week said the minister bought the one-storey house for $700,000 (about Sh1.1billion).

Mr Maige said he obtained two loans – of Sh184 million and $200,000 (Sh320 million) – from CRDB Bank.

Showing this reporter the loan acquisition and house purchase documents, the minister said the market price of the home sold to him by Savanna Real Estate, was $450,000, but he bought it for $410,000.

According to loan documents made available to this newspaper by Mr Maige, he began servicing the second loan in January, this year, and will repay it over 48 months to December 2015 at a monthly rate of $5,127 per month (Sh8,203,200). He said this was well within his means since he has income generating businesses. “I secured the $200,000 loan from CRDB Bank after using my house worth $410,000 as collateral and surrendering the title deed to the bank,” Mr Maige said.

Mr Maige said he found it easy to buy a new house rather than build a new one.
He said he had declared all his property with the Secretariat for Leadership Ethics Commission, and showed copies of his declaration forms.

Mr Maige, who also declared to have shares in MEM Logistic Company which is run by his wife, said the company deals with cargo transportation to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

He said for the time being he has two trucks which earn him about $20,000 per month.

He said he created the transportation firm after he had acquired a loan through Parliament in 2005.

“You need to know that I’m in conflict with a certain group of people….this wrangle has been caused by my stand on issues at the ministry, the decision to sack some officials at the ministry headquarters has created tension among my enemies who were benefiting from those culprits,” Mr Maige said

Without mentioning the names of ‘his enemies’ but categorically indicating that they are among members of the Parliamentary Committee responsible for Lands, Natural Resources and Environment, he said some of the them have been agents of the hunting block deals in collaboration with some officials at the ministry.

Reached for comment yesterday, an agent for the minister’s house Mr Athuman alias Ustaadhi said Maige bought one of the four apartments which was put on business some months ago now.

He could not shed more light on how the minister acquired the house, but distanced himself from the saga. On Monday, Parliament asked the government to discipline Mr Maige following corruption and ineptitude accusations by some staff under his watch.

A report of the Parliamentary committee on Lands, Natural Resources and Environment revealed disorder in hunting blocks allocation and inappropriate issuance of permits and licences to hunt and export wildlife.

Huku ni kutapatapa kwa kweli. mimi mwenyewe nina semi na halilazi hata milioni 2,000,000 kwa mwezi nikitoa garama.

Tatizo ulikurupuka kulinunua. Umelinunua bila plan. Kama una biashara ambayo hilo semi linafacilitate transportation ya mizigo yake, unaweza kumake up to net of $15,000 in a month!

This is serious unakubaliana naye ulikuwepo alipowazibia na unajuwa alichowazibia? Maige mwizi tena wa kijinga hata hiyo cpa sijuwi aliipata vipi. Nina data zake za kutosha akiendelea kupretend yeye ni malaika nitazimwaga hadharani. Wapuuzi sana hawa jamaa kuiba watuibie bado watuone wajinga pia? hell no this time!

Kuwa au kutokuwa na nyumba sio kigezo cha ubadhirifu. Hususan anapoonesha alipokopeshwa.

Nakubaliana na Maige anaposema amewazibia watu fulani na wao ndio wanamuweka pabaya. Tanzania hii, umtoe mtu tonge mdomoni akae anakutazama tu?

Asante naipenda hii.

Msema kweli mpenzi wa Mungu.

Am in the same business!

Ww kila biashara unafanya kujenga nyumba upo,usafirishaji upo kweli ungekuwa na biashara zote hizo usingekuwa na muda wa kipumbavu kukaa jamiiforum all time

Mimi nina hizo trucks na luck enough nimeshafanya biashara na Bravo aliowataja Maige, actually Bravo na Angelina ni kitu kimoja japo yeye kaweka as if ni vitu viwili tofauti. Safari ya Congo ni agharabu kuchukua mwezi mmoja mara nyingi ni mwezi na nusu na kuendelea. Infact ili uwe comfortable ni nzuri ukaplan kuwa safari moja ni miezi miwili. Ni uongo wa kitoto hasa kusema kwamba lorry moja Bravo wanamlipa dola 10,000. Wao Bravo hawapati hiyo dola 10,000 kwa mwezi how come wamlipe zaidi ya wanachopata? Maige ni mwizi kama walivyo wengine period.

Mimi Nina marafiki wanafanya hii biashara ya malori kwenda Congo ...there is no way you can make a profit ya dola 20'000 kwa trucks mbili..tatizo kubwa kwa rootza Congo ni umbali .....hata Kama gari jipya ...,ukiritimba barabarani kwenye forodha tunduma,na mpaka ndani ya Congo....etc.....wengi wanaofanya hiibiashara ongeeni nao ...the maximum profit you can make per truck In a month ni dola 6,000
........hizi projection za Maige zinadhibitisha kuwa amechukua mkopo wa kuzuga...tu..maana ndicho viongozi wengi wala rushwa hufaaanya ....kusafisha pesa Zao..

Kama nikweli hatuwezi kumtia hatiani manake anaonekana ni mpambanaji,hapo hata ukimpeleka mahakamani uwezekano wa kukushinda ni mkubwa,hawa jamaa ni wasomi na wako smart sana katika angle kama hizo hawawezi wakachukua fedha na kuwekeza humu ndani kichwakichwa fedha nyingi wanapeleka mabenk ya nje na kuwekeza nje.

Hapa ukumbuke kutofautisha actual cost or book value na market value.

Maige keshatoa evidence ya garama aliyoitumia kununulia hiyo nyumba. Sidhani with inflation na an increase ya demand ya nyumba hiyo cost itabaki the same. Lazima iappreciate. That is what has haappened. So huyo Lembeli kaquote market value.

asante Rejao,

Does anyone buy into the kind of proof and justification he has provided? $20,000 dollars revenue per month from transport business having only two trucks i.e., $10,000 income per truck per month?

inategemea ile kitu anasafirisha.......

Mkuu, kwa taarifa yako, CAMAREDERIE hii ndiyo biashara yake (Huwezi jua, anaweza kuwa ni Zakaria Hans Poppe au mmiliki mwingeneo wa kampuni kubwa ya Usafiri). Kwa hiyo kauli yangu hapo juu itafsiriwe kana kwamba nilikuwa naomba maoni yake.

Duuhh......mazee umekuwa muoga kupigwa bani!!..........lol

du tunaibiwa sana nchi hii.ukweli huwezi kuwa na semitrailer mbili upate dola elfu ishirini faida kwa mwezi ni uongo na kuficha wizi ulifanyika sisi tuko kwenye hiyo biashara kwa muda mrefu sasa tunajua ugumu wa hiyo biashara.labda kama anasafirisha pembe za ndovu.mhh hana breakdown.Kuhusu document si hoja mbona Pqf.Mahalu alikuwa nazo mbili.Yeye ajitete kwa lingine ila kuna kitu kimejificha mtumishi wa uma kwa miaka sita uwe tajiri hivyo duh kazi ipo bongo.sasa huyo ni waziri je Katibu mkuu anamiliki kiasi gani..nchi kwishiney

Mkuu Ureni; khbari ya ashubuhi?, bora umetoa ufafanuzi juu ya hali halisi sasa ambapo watu hawataki kusikia maelezo ya mutu yeyote mwenye nacho. Tazama member "Bobby" alivyonirikia asubuhi asubuhi hata kabla hajapiga mswaki kuwa ninatetea wizi wa kijinga wakati mzee mzima Lembeli akitamka waziwazi kuwa "amesikia kwa watu" kuwa Maige amenunua nyumba kwa "kulipa cash" wakati maige akionesha docs za thamani ya nyumba na hati za mikopo. Hii hali ndo inadumaza maendeleo ya nchi kwani watu wanashindwa kufungua miradi ya maendeleo nchini kwa kuhofia jazba za akila "bobby" na Lembeli.

Huyu ni kijana mdogo aliyeitukana jamii na hasa vijana wenzie kwa kuonesha kuwa vijana mkiaminiwa na kupewa madaraka kitu mnachoweka mbele ni wizi na kujilimbikizia mali; hili limedhihilika kwa si Maige tu bali kwa Ngeleja na Adam Malima. Kuwalinda anakofanya Kikwete kunaonesha kuwa yeye ndiye kiongozi wa ufisadi wote unaofanywa na hao mawaziri wake otherwise how does one explain his lack of taking appropriate action!!

Kuingiza hela ni tofauti na kubakiza hela. Kodi muhimu zote kwenye transportation hulipiwa kabla hujapata kibali cha kuendesha biashara hiyo, hususan ukiwa na malori.

Kodi ya mapato hulipiwa mapato yaliyobaki baada ya gharama zote. Katika biashara ya malori ni aghalabu sana kupata gross profit inayofikia 20%.

Namna ya ulipaji kodi wa mfanya biashara ya malori ni tofauti kabisa na biashara zingine, kwa hiyo kabla hamjaanza kukisia ni vipi Maige alipe kodi ni lazima muelewe namna ya biashara na kodi zake zinavyokokotolewa.

Mnyonge mnyongeni haki yake mpeni.

Maige kaongelea kipato kitakachomuwezesha kuservice mkopo ambacho obvious ni net baada ya kuondoa kodi na operational costs. kwa net income aliyoieleza Maige, haijalishi nature ya biashara anayofanya kodi yake lazima izidi 10 kwa mwezi. Atulipe kodi yetu

Plz faida ya trip moja Congo haizidi dola 2000 tena hapo kajitahidi kubana na pia kwa mwezi waweza piga trip mbili tu hata kama dereva wako kakomaaaaa balaaa so in that case in am month anaweza pata dola 8000 kwa magari yote toa kila kitu hapo sasa yeye anabeba nini mpaka alaze 20000 usd in a month .... For two truck haiwezekani labda awe na gari sita min
