Tanga Cement risks power cut

The Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) has given Tanga Cement Company until today to pay overdue power bills amounting to 49m/- or face an immediate power disconnection.

Tanesco Managing Director Idris Rashid told an afternoon news conference in Dar es Salaam yesterday that they have already sent the cement company a note reminding it on the need to clear its bills by the deadline.

He explained TCC was still enjoying their services `although they owe us all this money`.

Production at the Tanga firm stopped for 24 hours last week after Tanesco cut the power supply line that feeds it, charging that it (TCC) had tampered with electricity flow and consumption monitoring equipment and defaulted on the payment of the 49m/-.

The media quoted TCC Managing Director Juerg Fluehmann as swiftly denying the charges.

He said the measure taken by the power company violated the law on the supply of electricity, which he said stated that consumers must be served with a written notice of at least 48 hours before disconnection is effected.

An emphatic Fluehmann explained that their monthly electricity bill ranged between 450m/- and 500m/- and swore that they had always paid on time.

Power to the cement firm was restored the very next day without any condition, apparently on orders from the Tanesco Board of Directors.

At yesterday`s news conference, Dr Rashid dismissed as unfounded reports that it was Prime Minister Edward Lowassa who had ordered that TCC have power back without necessarily settling the said 49m/- bill.

`I talked to neither the Prime Minister nor the Tanga Cement management on the issue,` said the Tanesco chief, who tendered his resignation over the saga but changed his mind soon after and resumed his duties with the board?s full blessings.

Efforts to contact the TCC management by telephone for comment on Tanesco`s ultimatum failed yesterday, with the telephone operator not ready to pass on to The Guardian any relevant mobile phone numbers.

However, a senior official of the Tanga firm speaking on authority stressed that they had already settled the amount in question `through a cheque that was duly collected by the Tanga Regional Tanesco Manager on the 21st of this month`.

`If these people (Tanesco) continue to behave this strangely and really make good their power disconnection threat, we shall have no option but to seek legal redress,` said the official, adding that there was proof that the cheque has already been cleared. SOURCE: Guardian

Lakini wakati haya yanaendelea, Tanga Cement wanawashangaa Tanesco kama wameingiliwa na nini? Wao wanasema walilipa bill ya sh 49 million tarehe 21 Nov, 2007. Na ni siku ile ile umeme uliporudishwa kiwandani. Kesho mtasoma pengine hata namba za hawala zilizotumika kulipia
pesa hizo.

Sasa hivi inakuwaje huyu Idris?

 

[Game Theory]

Tanga Cement kama wana daiwa then walipe

By the way mimi ni miongoni mwa wale "TEAM IDRIS"

Kama wanadaiwa walipe tena pesa yote its that simple kwa nini wao wawe exempted na kupewa muda...kama raia wa kawaida hapewi muda then sioni sababu ya corporation kama TC wapewe muda

Tungekuwa na akina IDRISA 10 tu bas mngeona mabadiliko

 

[Kitila Mkumbo]

Tena walipe haraka sana, waache ujinga wao wa kujifanya wameishika serikali. Hatutaki mifanyabiashara au miwekezaji ya namna hii inayotaka mteremko wakati wananchi wanakosa huduma muhimu. Lazima tum-support sana huyu ndugu Idrisa.

 

[Game Theory]

Thats right kama hawawezi wafunge hicho kiwanda au apewe huyo ambaye yuko tayari kulipa hiyo bili ya umeme

 

[DAR si LAMU]

..wazee,naomba mu-edit hizo post zenu na jina la dr lisomeke kama...idris badala ya idrisa!

..it means a lot!

Wakuu, hapa tuwe waangalifu tafadhali:

Tanga Cement wana proof ya stakabadhi walizolipia, na wana barua ya Tanesco inayo acknowledge kupokea 49,041,763.20 shs za bill yenye mgogoro vide cheque # 002885, na stakabadhi ya malipo ya adhabu ya kuchelewesha hiyo bill, adhabu ya sh 6,609,000 zote zililipwa 21.11.2007.

Lakini jana Idris kapandisha mzuka tena juu ya hili...na leo Tanga Cement wamesema kama Tanesco wakiendelea ku behave namna hii, itabidi waende mahakamani kwa kuwa reputation yao inaharibiwa makusudi.

Nini kimejificha hapa?

Kama usemayo ni ya kweli na sina sababu ya kuyatilia shaka, then kuna mawili eidha bwana mkubwa hana hizo taarifa (lakini ni siku nyingi zimepita) au basi kuna zaidi ya bili za umeme

 

[DAR si LAMU]

au basi kuna zaidi ya bili za umeme

..kuna bill zaidi ya umeme!

 

[Game Theory]

Doesnt matter

walichelewa kulipa hiyo bill wenyewe

wangelipa on time haya yote yasingetokea

 

[Dua]

Je, Zanzibar nao wamelipa bill yao maana kuna tetesi kwamba na wao ni wadeni sugu?

 

[Mbalamwezi]

Lakini kwa upande mwingine, kuyashughulikia mambo kwa namna hii kunaondoa investor confidence...which is vital ktk dhana nzima ya kuvutia uwekezaji.

Track record kama hii ni rahisi kukumbukwa kwa muda mrefu na kutumika kama reference kwa wengine weengi wajao katika maamuzi yao.

..tuna investors hapa? au watafutaji tu?infact wachumaji!

..sasa,kama mtu halipi kodi,aachwe,kisa investor!na kama halipi utilities aachwe,kisa investor!

..do you know how much is lost due to that notion!?

..tanesco ina chechemea kwa sababu ya madeni kama hayo!watu wanatumia umeme hawalipi!wanaolipa ni masikini!

..we acha bwana!

 

[Kafara]

je kuna la zaidi hadi hii vita inapiganwa magazetini?
au ndio shughuli la kulifanya hili jambo la kisiasa zaidi
kuliko kuwa suala la mtoa huduma na mteja? ni nani atafaidika katika hili?

kama mteja halipii huduma aliyopewa basi huduma hiyo isitishwe.
na mteja akiona kaonewa anaanza mbele kwenye vyombo vya sheria
full stop, kituo.

Hii ndiyo management tuliyozoea! Populist na ubabe. Nilishasema awali ni kawaida ya Tanesco kukubambikia bill na kukwambia kuwa lipa kwanza ndiyo tujadiliane. Samahani lakini naona wengi wetu bado tunapigana vita tuliyoishinda miaka 46 iliyopita. Tunamtetea Idris kwa sababu tu ni mswahili mwenzetu dhidi ya hao waliowahi kututawala. Mteja mkubwa sehemu yeyote duniani anaheshimiwa. Si huku kupanda majukwaani na kutoa vitisho visivyo na msingi. Sasa akikata umeme, atakayefaidika nani? Mimi sitashangaa hawa mabwana watakapoiburuta Tanesco mahakamani kwa kutofuata mkataba( soma taarifa ya boss wa Tanga Cement) na Tanesco kuamriwa kulipa mabilioni. Tumeona yakifanyika Mwanza, IPTL n.k. Hamna jipya hapa, ni kutafuta umaarufu tuu. Na sasa bodi imenyamazishwa ndiyo tutakoma kabisa. Kwa vitendo hivi kweli tunategemea kuvutia wawekezaji wa maana? Disputes ni kawaida ya mikataba na zina njia ya kuzitatua lakini sio hivi. Bora angeenda.

 

[Domo Kaya]

Dr. Idris Rashid oyeeeeeee.

Hatutaki ubabaishaji, kila anayedaiwa lazima alipe bill yake, kama hicho kiwanda kinamtu kinamtegemea serikalini shauri yake, Dr. Idriss wewe fanya kazi ili Tanesco iweze kurudi kwenye hali yake... ukikubali siasa zikiendeshe kiwanda hapo kutakuwa hakuna kusonga mbele.

raia wa kawaida hajui haki yake. We unadhani kwa nini wengi tulikimbilia Luku. Jamaa hawaji kusoma mita ila wanafanya estimate! Hiyo estimate inategemea wameamka vipi. Hawa ni wale ambao wanakataa kumuunganishia mteja mpya ati kwa sababu aliyekuwa anakaa kwenye hiyo nyumba ( hamna tofauti kama amekufa au amehama) alikuwa na deni. Ni hawa wanaotuambia gharama ZANGU za kuzalisha umeme ni hizi kwa hiyo unabidi kunifidia. Wakiulizwa umefanya nini kupunguza gharama wanang'aka! Unamshangilia mtu anayetaka kukata umeme kwa dispute ya sh milioni 50 na anakulipa milioni 500 kwa MWEZI!!!Zaidi ya hapo ni mzalishaji wa bidhaa ambayo ina umuhimu mkubwa kwa uchumi wa taifa lako? Bidhaa ambayo iko adimu? Wakiwepo wakina Idris 5, nchi itawekwa rehani!

 

[Mtanzania]

Huu mgogoro mbona ungemalizwa kwa kuongea kati ya TCC na Tanesco?

Mimi nilifikiri kuna tatizo kubwa sana lakini inaelekea zaidi zaidi ni mambo ya jazba kuliko busara.

Inatakiwa wa review huo mkataba wao unasemaje ili in future kuondoa matatizo kama haya yasiyo na maana kabisa.

Kama TCC wanalipa kama 500M kwa mwezi, kweli deni la 49M linaweza kuwafanya Tanesco wakate umeme? Mara nyingi suppliers wengi wanakuwa tayari kukubali malipo hata baada ya muda mrefu kidogo hasa kama mteja muda wote analipa on time.

Dar si Lamu, hao hao wachumaji ndio investors pia, hata kama hawalipi kama ambavyo wengi wetu tungetaka lakini bado wanalipa kodi kubwa na kutoa ajira kubwa kwa ndugu zetu. Hawa ni tofauti na cement ambayo inaweza kuingizwa kutoka nje.

Ingelikuwa kwa wenzetu naona hili suala lingeishia mahakamani na si ajabu TCC ingeshapoteza mabilioni maana walionekana hawana pesa za kuwalipa Tanesco na hapo suppliers mbalimbali wangelazimisha cash mbele kabla ya kutoa huduma, shareholders wangeanza kusukuma share zao nk. kumbe ni Tanesco wenyewe kushindwa hata kujua nani kalipa na lini.

Tanesco clears Tanga Cement on 49m/- bills

2007-12-01 08:52:04
By Guardian Reporter


The Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco), which on Thursday gave Tanga Cement Company only a day to pay what it called overdue power bills amounting to some 49m/-, yesterday said it had discovered that payment had been long effected after all.

Tanesco Managing Director Idris Rashid told a hastily called news conference on Thursday afternoon that they had given the Tanga firm until yesterday to pay the bills or face an immediate power cut.

He said they had already sent the cement company a note reminding it on the need to clear its bills by the deadline.

But yesterday Tanesco explained in a letter addressed to the TCC managing director, a copy of which was faxed to this paper, that they had no problem with the cement company regarding the outstanding payment earlier referred to.

Part of the letter read: `We want to confirm to have received your outstanding payment amounting to 49,041,763.20, which you paid on November 21, 2007 well before elapsing of the set deadline of November 30, 2007.`

In the letter, signed by William Mhando on behalf of the MD, Tanesco states that it is all out to maintain smooth supplier-customer relations for mutual benefit.

TCC Managing Director Juerg Fluehmann meanwhile said in a letter to the Tanesco management - alongside a similar one addressed to this paper - that his company had paid the purported outstanding bills amounting to 49,041,763.20/- by cheque No. 002885 on November 21, 2007.

He added that they also paid re-connection and inspection fees amounting to 6,609,000/- by cheque No. 002886.

Fluehmann said his firm was listed with the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange and that any negative reports on its financial reputation might cause shifts in market confidence and erode the market value of its shares.

A senior official with TCC speaking on authority stressed on Thursday that they had already settled the amount in question `through a cheque that was duly collected by the Tanga Regional Tanesco Manager on the 21st of this month`.

`If these people (Tanesco) continue to behave this strangely and really make good their power disconnection threat, we shall have no option but to seek legal redress,` said the official, adding that there was proof that the cheque in question had already been cleared with the respective bank.

Production at the Tanga firm stopped for 24 hours last week after Tanesco cut the power supply line that feeds it, charging that it (TCC) had tampered with electricity flow and consumption monitoring equipment and defaulted on the payment of the 49m/-.

The media quoted MD Fluehmann as swiftly denying the charges.

He said the measure taken by the power company violated the law on the supply of electricity, which he said stated that consumers must be served with a written notice of at least 48 hours before disconnection is effected.

An emphatic Fluehmann explained that their monthly electricity bill ranged between 450m/- and 500m/- and swore that they had always paid on time.

Power to the cement firm was restored the very next day without any condition, apparently on orders from the Tanesco Board of Directors.
