Gadgets under MPs` beds audio recorders.
Police said here yesterday that information and technology (IT) experts have confirmed that the two black gadgets found in a hotel rooms occupied by MPs Wilbrod Slaa and Ali Tarab Ali were digital sound recorders.
Dodoma Regional Police Commander Omar Mganga revealed the information when briefing journalists on the progress of investigations into the alleged bugging of Karatu MP, Dr. Wilbroad Slaa and Konde MP, Dr. Ali Tarab Ali.

According to Mganga, IT experts also found that the gadgets could neither take still pictures/video nor transmit sound from one place to another.
Mganga explained that police were still investigating the incident to establish who placed the two recorders in the rooms of the two legislators.
He said Dr. Slaa had been living in the hotel for quite sometime, and had good relations with the hotel`s attendants.
The RPC also said that Dr Slaa trusted one of the hotel attendants called Zaituni Gerald Malangalila who normally takes care of his room as well as keep its keys.
He said reports from the scene showed that on the fateful day at around 3pm, Dr. Slaa`s daughter Emiliana Slaa, accompanied by a colleague Dorin Kisamo, a University of Dodoma student, entered the MP`s room where they watched TV before sleeping for one hour.
The RPC further said that, at around 4pm the two girls left the place for UDOM where Dr. Slaa`s daughter spent the night before going back to Dar es Salaam, the next morning.
The RPC said in the earlier reports the Karatu MP, did not mention the two girls who entered his room.
They were also following the lead of a person who phoned Dr. Slaa to caution him of a strange gadget under a bed in his hotel room.
The RPC said the police force was interrogating a number of people on the matter, to find the truth behind the incident and would soon make the report public.
He however, declined to mention the number of people who are in the list of interrogation.
On Thursday last week, unidentified people were alleged to have secretly placed a gadget looking like a tape recorder under the bed used by Dr. Slaa and his fellow opposition MP, Dr. Tarab at Hotel Fiftysix.
