I believe the payment to Dowans will be one of the most audacious and contemptuous action by the government against its people. I for one opposes these payments not just because they are illegal but because they are inherently immoral. A nation such as ours coming out of so many financial scandals of the past few years we can not and must not reward corruption.
If CCM and its government decide (as it seems they would) to pay Dowans they will do so because they can not because they can not fight it. What our government has decided to do is surrender to the forces of corruption. They payments would embolden corrupt elements in Tanzania.
I for one denounce everyone and every person who in his clear mind taking into consideration all the facts of the Dowans deal would support paying this company billions of Tanzanian shillings while our people are still struggling to improve the quality of the mortal existence. I reject totally and absolutely any attempt to justify this corrupt deal solely based in the legality of the issue without considering the morality of such payments.
I call upon Chadema, it leaders and members and everyone of goodwill to take a stand against these payments. Let us draw a line once again between those who support this scheme of corruption and those who reject it. Let us be willing to take a stand and be ready to pay the price for that stand. For evil can not be rewarded nor excused.
I dedicate myself once again to oppose these elements for as long as I know how and as long as Providence allows me. But, I will not excuse, defend, explain or in any way or shape try to "understand" why we have to pay corrupt deals. We made a mistake in bringing in Dowans, we should not make the second one - of rewarding it. For once we pay Dowans under this "legality" circumstances we should be prepared to pay more and more in other corrupt deals for the same people who brought us Loliondo, Meremeta, EPA, CIS, Tangold, Richmond, and Dowans are still in power and as long as they know that Tanzanians are soft-hearted and weak in opposing corruption they will do it again and again. We can not let that happen indefinitely.
Chadema as the leading Opposition party in the country should not wait until the payments are made for them to come strong for once the payments are made Dowans Tanzania Limited and Dowans Holding SA will go into insolvency or liquidation. After the companies go into insolvency of some sort any investigation later will be unnecessary and illusion of the first kind. I for one will oppose any investigation after Dowans are paid up as they are already lined up to! We can not play this game of 'hide and seek' with corrupt elements in the country for we (the people) will come out losing!
For its not corrupt people we are dealing with but a very orchestrated organized crime in Tanzania which has infiltrated even the very core of our government and civil society.
Lets stand UNITED IN OPPOSITION TO DOWANS PAYMENTS. The payments are illegal and indeed stronger than that they are immoral.
I stand to be counted.

BAADHI ya wanafunzi katika Shule ya Msingi Misewe iliyopo manispaa ya Ilala jijini Dar es Salaam, wamelazimika kufika shuleni na khanga au viroba kwa ajili ya kukalia, kutokana na uhaba wa madawati unaoikabili shule hiyo.
Uchunguzi wa gazeti hili umebaini kuwa wakati wanafunzi hao wakikaa kwenye viroba na khanga hizo, wengine wamelazimika kufuatilia masomo wakiwa wamechuchumaa au kukaa kwenye vumbi.
Mmoja wa wazazi wa wanafunzi wa shule hiyo aliliambia gazeti hili jana kuwa kutokana na hali hiyo, uongozi wa shule umewataka wanafunzi wote wa kuanzia darasa la kwanza hadi la tano, kufika shuleni na viroba au khanga kwa ajili ya kukalia.
Mzazi huyo ambaye hakutaka kutajwa gazetini alisema, anasikitishwa na kitendo cha walimu hao kuwalazimisha wanafunzi kwenda shuleni na khanga na kuwachapa wanaoshindwa kutekeleza agizo hilo. Inasikitisha sana kuona wazazi tunaandamwa wakati kuna sera inaamuru kuwepo na ruzuku ya Sh 15,000 kwa kila mwanafunzi. Je fedha hizo zinafanya kazi gani,alihoji mzazi mwingine.

Wildcard, don't be fooled by it.. JK akizungumza tu na kusema tuwalipe hakuna mwana CCM atakayeleta fyoko.. si umeona wote walivyojipanga mstari baada ya yeye kuimbisha "katiba mpya".. hadi wengine wakatufanya sisi mazuzu..

DOWANS hawatalipwa. Hili linafanana sana na lile la Vallambia na BOT/TPDF. Mbaya zaidi limekuwa politicized mno. Litaiua kabisa CCM.
Shule ya Msingi Juhudi - Kigoma Vijijini, Tanzania
Kuna namna moja tu ya Dowans kutokulipwa nalo itakuwa by an executive order ya Rais na hilo litamtengeneza JK kuwa ni shujaa. Hakuna lolote litakalotokea baada ya hapo. Lakini nje ya hapo lazima walipwe na my thinking hadi sasa ni kuwa walipwe kabla ya Kikao kijacho cha Bunge ili waharakishe insolvency. Jamaa wanasubiria hizo fedha ziingie kwenye akaunti na kutawanywa mara moja kuliko mnavyofikiria.
Hivi tukishawalipa halafu ikajulikna kuwa hayo makampuni hayakuwepo tutamshika nani shati?
wana jf wenzangu mnaoitakia mema nchi hii, hii issue ya malipo kwa Dowans ina pande mbili.
- Hoja ni ya kisheria, hapa tumefungwa kisawasawa, back, front, left and right, hakuna mahali pa kutokea, mkataba ule ni mkataba mbovu hata mwanafunzi wa mwaka wa sheria linakofundishwa omo la law of contract, ataling'amua. Kisheria Dowans wana haki asilimia 100% kulipwa. Licha ya kuwa ni kampuni feki, wamiliki feki, usajili feki na kila kitu feki, yale majenereta, ni majenereta kweli na yanafua umeme kweli, hivyo fidia ni kufidia hizo genereta, haijalishi ni za nani, lakini zipo ndio maana ICC wakatupilia mbali uhalali wa kampuni na kuzingatia tuu mkataba.
- Kisheria naamini wanasheria wa Tanesco na wale wa Mwanasheria Mkuu, sio vilaza ki vile, kupitisha mkataba ule kama ulivyokuwa, wamekuwa taken care vizuri ndio maana wakapitisha madudu yale.
- Naamini timu ya defence ya Tanesco kwenye shauri la ICC, sio butu kivile kwenda na hoja nyepesi nyepesi ili Tanesco washindwe, wamekuwa well taken care off ili mambo yaende.
- Watu wanantaja taja fisadi Rostam as as if ni yeye ndie atakayeyachukua hayo mabilioni ya fidia, mimi nasema no, sio Rostam, yeye Rostam ametumika tuu kama front, kama ilivyo kwa Kagoda, ni front tuu ya kuchotea pesa llakini wafaidika wakuu ni wengine, na amini nawaambieni, siku mkisikia who is behind Rostam, mtashindwa kuamini!. Kikulacho ki nguoni mwako.
- Sasa hao walio behind Rostam, ndio waliomtuma mwanasheria mkuu kukubali tulipe, na kumtuma Ngeleja kulitangazia taifa tutalipa, hata bili kulipitishia baraza la Mawaziri, maana kina Sitta, Mwakiembe, Magufuli etc wasingekubali upuuzi huo.
- Kwa vile kisheria limesimama, bodi ya Tanesco, haina njia bali kujipanga ili mahakama kuu ikisha thibitisha tuu faini ilipwe, Tanesco walipe papo hapo, tena kwa kukopa CRDB!.
- Lengo la Tanesco kulipa papo kwa papo ni kuepuka ongezeko la Shilingi Milioni 25, kila siku ya Mungu itakayopita, tangu siku Mahakama Kuu imeiamuru Tanesco kulipa. Hiyo inamaana deni linaongezeka kwa milioni 100 kila baada ya siku 4, na zikifika siku 40, ni bilioni moja nyingine.
- Ubishi wa kina Sitta na wote tunaopinga malipo hayo, hatuna hoja za kisheria bali za kisiasa, kina Sitta na Mwakiembe wanataka kuleta siasa kwenye sheria ambayo pia inawezekana.
- Tanzania tunaweza tukapinga kulipa hizo pesa na tukajitoa kwenye ICC, hata kama hao wawekezaji Wazungu, watakosa imani na nchi yetu na kususa kuwekeza, wafungashe na kwenda zao kwao, tuone hao Baric watachimba dhahabu gani Canada etc. Madini ni yetu, sio jukumu letu kuwabembeleza wawekezaji, kwa sababu wenye mali ni sisi, ni jukumu la wawekezaji kuja kutubembeleza sisi ndio tuwape madini yetu, waneemeke wao na kutuachia mashimo. Kwa Tanzania its the other way round, sis ndio wenye mali, ala tunawalamba miguu hawa jamaa wanaokuja kutukanyaga.
- Na mwisho, vunjilia mbali mikataba yote ya kimataifa isiyo na maslahi kwa taifa, wachina wapo tayari kuendesha kila kitu kwa mikataba yenye maslahi kwetu, na hata tukiwafukuzia mbali wazungu wote, watalii wa kichina pekee wanaweza kushibisha soko la utalii maradufu kuliko wazungu ambao fedha yote ya maana, huilipia huko huko, hapa hubakisha fedha ya kulipia shanga, vinyago, karanga na kuwalipa madada zetu kwa zile huduma!.
Mkuu naomba urejee post yangu sababu am sure haujanielewa..... Point yangu ni kwamba kujua kwamba RA au nani anausika pekee haisaidii inabidi tupate Link (proof) ambayo itamuhusisha ili kuwa na Case ya kuhujumu Uchumi.... hata kama akishikwa kaiba peanuts wananchi tukimbana tunaweza kumfilisi/kuwafilisi hawa mafisadi...usibeze sauti ya wanyonge maana ndio wengi.
Kuilipa DOWANS ni faida kwetu ama hasara? Linki unayoitaka ipo wazi, una macho huoni. MAFISADI wetu wa hapa nchini ndio wameiingiza nchi kwenye mkataba na DOWANS.
Unaweza kua umeridhika sana na utendaji kazi wa MAFISADI mpaka hapa tulipofikia, lakini wengi tunaumia kuona walifanya na wamekua wakifanya kazi mbovu na sasa inabidi tulipie gharama za kufidia.
We are all fighting the same battle does not matter where you are..... I can honestly say Mwanakijiji by trying to bring those Dowans documents and starting this topics about DOWANS he is doing his fare sharehow, you stand to be counted where? Where the heck are you, Waterloo, Iowa?
Kwenye hili Regia,kila mwanasheria atasema kisheria inapaswa kuwa hivyo.Nina imani kubwa kwamba wananchi wengi wanaumizwa sana na hili kulinganisha na wanasheria na wanasiasa 200+,nashauri tusitegemee majibu bungeni wala kwa wanasheria,wananchi wahamasishwe zaidi na nguvu ya umma itumike,there is no other options,the judiciary is corrupt and weak,the same applies to most parliamentarians and the Executive is the worst......Watanzania kwa umoja wetu tuseme hapana,najua inawezekana kabisa....Mungu aliyeweka uozo huu kwenye fahamu zetu yuko upande wetu!!!:amen:
Mzee Mwanakijiji, executive order ya Rais yupi?.Kuna namna moja tu ya Dowans kutokulipwa nalo itakuwa by an executive order ya Rais na hilo litamtengeneza JK kuwa ni shujaa. Hakuna lolote litakalotokea baada ya hapo. Lakini nje ya hapo lazima walipwe na my thinking hadi sasa ni kuwa walipwe kabla ya Kikao kijacho cha Bunge ili waharakishe insolvency.

Poetik Justice, nimeipenda sana hii doctrine ya doing the thing right vs doing the righ thing. Ni ukweli usiofichika kuwalipa is doing the things right and it is not the right thing. Mara ngapi tumewahi kufanya things wrong kwa kisingizio cha doing the right thing?. Kama huko nyuma tuliweza mpaga kuyagomea masharti ya IMF na kunyinwa mikopo ya WB, itakuwa ICC?.Mimi nadhani its a question "doing things right, or doing the right thing". Lawyers say we have to pay. Thats probably doing things right. But is it the right thing to do?? Dowans/Richmond was wrong right from the start... so jamani...how can we legitimise that wrong? I remember Dr. Mwakyembe's historic presentation and the anger, disbelieve and dissapointment that followed au tumesahau?
Regia,
You are one of a few fortunate Tanzanians who could champion what MM is suggesting, pls mobilize your fellow MPs and start the riot, we will be behind you and we will suffer with you.
Do not complain like the lot of us, do the it. ANZISHA HARAKATI ZA KUPINGA KWA NGUVU ZOTE WIZI HUU!!!!!!!!!!!!
