Dangote arekebisha kauli ya ‘Bulldozer’. Asema “It's OK, I have his mobile number, I can call him and he listens to me”

Dangote says “Sometimes it is just a matter of communication”

Financial Times editor Lionel Barber asked Nigerian business leader Aliko Dangote in a live interview at the FT Africa Summit on Monday about his relationship with Tanzanian President John Magufuli

LONDON, United Kingdom, October 10, 2017/ -- Financial Times correspondent John Aglionby's reporting in the fast FT online column that Nigerian businessman Aliko Dangote “accuses ‘Bulldozer’ Tanzanian president of scaring away investors” appears to have caused an overblown row.

When Financial Times editor Lionel Barber asked Nigerian business leader Aliko Dangote in a live interview at the FT Africa Summit (http://APO.af/qv2dZF) on Monday about his relationship with Tanzanian president John Magufuli, Dangote smiled and replied positively, “It's okay. I can always call him; I have his mobile number, and he listens to me”.

Asked to comment on investment policies across Africa, Dangote, whose $620M US investment in a cement factory in Mtwara is among the largest in that country, went on to say that Tanzania's general policies “need to be looked at”. Sharing his experience as one of Africa's most prominent investors with operations in 17 countries Dangote explained that policies scare away investors and that once an investor has left “it is very difficult to bring that investor back.”

Dangote was referring to Tanzania's investment law concerning the extractive industries which requires foreign investors to yield 16% “free carried interests” to the government, although he did clarify that this was not applicable to cement. Dangote pointed out that the policy could lead to others which could dilute control of assets in a country, a concern that is generally factored into corporate decisions on investing in foreign markets.

“Sometimes it is just a matter of communication”, Dangote said when describing how investors sort out contractual arrangements with foreign goverments. With regard to his $620 M USD investment in Tanzania he added “I'm sure we will engage them and try to resolve the issue.”

Tanzanian Investment Minister Charles Mwijage responded immediately to charges reported in the Financial Times defending his government's policies aimed at ensuring Tanzania's benefits from the country's resources and underscoring how accommodating the government has been in facilitating Dangote's project in the country.

Investors at the one-day FT Africa Summit which hosted the live interview with Africa's most prominent industrialist seemed to agree that Dangote had not “accused” the Tanzanian president, but had only warned that policies need to be clearly defined and investors need to be reassured that their investments are safe. “There was nothing at all in Mr. Dangote’s comments directed to President Magufuli,” one attendee remarked.

My Take.
The subject matter hapa kilichorekebishwa ni kauli za accusation tuu na sio the issue of investment. Nilichouliza mwanzo ni kwa nini rais wetu awe accused kwa kuitwa bulldoser "Nigerian businessman Aliko Dangote “accuses ‘Bulldozer’ Tanzanian president of scaring away investors” , sasa FT, wamekuja na story hii kuonyesha kuwa hakuna accusations, Dangote na Magufuli ni marafiki, wamepeana mobile numbers, wanapigiana simu, na Magufuli ni msikivu, huwa anamsikiliza Dangote!, wakamalizia kwa kurekebisha kuoandoa accused " that Dangote had not “accused” the Tanzanian president, but had only warned that policies need to be clearly defined and investors need to be reassured that their investments are safe. “There was nothing at all in Mr. Dangote’s comments directed to President Magufuli,”
Hongera Rais Magufuli kwa kumruhusu Dangote achimbe Makaa ya Mawe ...

Kubadilisha kutobadilisha hakusaidii kuondoa ushamba wa Sera mbovu ambazo Rais anazitumia kuua uchumi wa nchi

In fact sijaona neno jipya hapo.

Nadhani wameelewa vyema kuwa Tanzania ya leo sio ile ya miaka ile na watarekebisha kauli zao.

 

[Nyani Ngabu]

Mbele ya Ngosha hata Dangote atanyooka tu.

Hahahahaaa.

 

[jingalao]

Hili ni funzo kwa vibaraka wa mabepari kwamba Watanzania kamwe hawatakaa kimya na kuangalia wawekezaji wakija kuchota na kutuacha masikini.

Moto utazimwa kwa moto!

Sio kwa Vibaraka tu, hata kwa wachochezi na wahujumu uchumi wa ndani.

 

[Gamba la Nyoka]

Was it about Dangote as Dangote alone or about the overall environment for investment in the country?

 

[Denis denny]

Atakuwa ka edit Polepole au Dangote wa Tandale(Diamond)

 

[mandokwa]

It seems Pascal lugha ya kidhungu huielewi vizuri. Dangote hajabadilisha neno hata moja kutoka kwenye ile ya kabla. Bali kwenye hii muandishi kaongezea kipengele cha mahusiano yake na rais ambacho kabla hawakukiweka. Msikurupuke tu, the main comment ya mwanzo kuhusu ku-scare investors ipo vile vile...

 

[Lizarazu]

Ile kauli yake ya awali tayari imeshaenda viral hata kama atabadilishe maneno yawe mazuri vipi haiwezi ikabidilisha kitu kwenye kile alichokisema awali.

Kinachofanywa na new foreign investor kabla hajachoma hela zake hapa Tanzania anaangalia trend ya uchumi tangu awamu iliyopita na ya sasa hivi, akiona kuna ailments tu hammuoni hapa.

 

[muokotamatunda]

sawa

 

[domokaya]

Kubadilisha kutobadilisha hakusaidii kuondoa ushamba we Sera mbovu ambazo Rais anazitumia kuua uchumi wa nchi

Alidhani hatujui anachokifanya, tumemwambia tunajua anachokifanya, sisi sio kama nyumbu na wajinga wengine ambao kwao jina tu pasipo kujua chochote wanamtetea mtu ili mradi awe tu na kamsuguano na SJMT.

Angeendelea na upuuzi angeadhirika kama wenzake. Asiwasikilize watu wasio na dignity ambao leo wanasema hili kesho wanabadilisha pasipo aibu. Watu ambao demokrasia kwao ni kuwatia mimba vimada wao na kuwateua kuwa wabunge wa viti maalum.

 

[Mdudu halisi]

Hakuna cha kubadili kauli wala nini. Ukweli utaaki pale pale kwamba sera za uwekezaji ambazo Sizonje analazimisha zitumike, zimekuwa zikifukuza wawekezaji.

 

[OKW BOBAN SUNZU]

Mbele ya Ngosha hata Dangote atanyooka tu.

The Bully who is Coward

So?

 

[Siyabonga101]

Was it only about Dangote himself or about the overall environment for investment?

Due to the article and my understanding I think it about Dangote and not an Overall environment for Investment in the country. He bit his tongue on the matter, that's the reason why he said "It's okay. I can always call him; I have his mobile number, and he listens to me" and such statement as "Sometimes it's just a matter of Communication".
