Question here is: who should have powers to give 800,000 hectares to a foreigner under a 99-year lease????[/h]
Ourselves have been sold too, just make a little analysis on the situation. Colonialists returning in the name of investors and with the help of our rulers. No difference btn jk and chief mangungo. Mangungo is even better for he was not formally educated.the remaining thing to be sold in our beloved country is ourselves!!!!
Ni Kweli kabisa mkuu.the remaining thing to be sold in our beloved country is ourselves!!!!
Dear man, anybody in the ruling circles can have such powers in this corrupt stricken country. I'll not be surprised if I hear that the piece of that bland has been leased already. Everything will be done secretly and our MPs will be informed later as usual.[h=6]An article on a big US-based agri-business company which intends to invest heavily in Tanzania has appeared in some US newspapers, and picked by one of the English weeklies.
According to this article, which the local newspaper gave a screaming headline of US investor set to acquire large chunks of land in Tan...zania, the intention of t...he investor is to bring modern and sustainable agriculture to the country, so that even small holder farmers can learn techniques of the 21st century farming.
The land earmarked for the massive grain and livestock operation is not less than 800,000 hectares.
If things go as planned, the company will secure a 99-year lease of the extensive area for the purpose of growing crops to be sold in the country, the rest of East Africa and other neighbour countries.
Some of the experts and international NGOs specializing in Third World development trends are already sounding an alarm about land grabbing in some countries by foreigners, who take advantage of poverty and corruption in targeted regions to effect their mission.
