this guy was quoted in public that to him a million dollars is like peanuts. He compared a million dollars to peanuts. Imagine how much money he has to even consider a million dollars as peanuts. In a country where most of the population struggles to even get a full a plate of food a day, this public servant elected to office by the public had millions stashed in an offshore account. Shame!
In Tanzania to be a thief and a liar is pride, not shame. It is even more pride if you manage to fool more people and let them know that you lie to them and keep them worshiping you. That is what we are doing.

A JERSEY bank account owned by a former Tanzanian minister could be investigated by the Serious Fraud Office, following the announcement of plans to prosecute British Aerospace.
A statement released by the SFO yesterday said that it intended to seek the UK Attorney Generals consent to prosecute in relation to alleged overseas corruption.
It follows the investigation carried out by the SFO into the business activities of BAE Systems in Africa and Eastern Europe.
It is understood that Tanzanias former infrastructure minister, Andrew Chenge, had £504,000 in a Jersey account that allegedly came from BAE. Mr Chenge was the poverty-stricken countrys infrastructure minister when it bought a £28 million radar system from BAE.
Jersey authorities, including the Jersey Financial Services Commission and the Joint Financial Crimes Unit, have previously refused to comment on the subject.
