Nashukuru unakubaliana na wengi kuwa Escrow si zao la maamuzi ya kwanza ya ICSID na wala si mgogoro wa wana hisa. Huu ndiyo uongo ulioenezwa awali. Ni kwa nini Tanesco ambao ndiyo waliolalamikia tozo lililokuwa si la haki hawakuchukua hatua ni vyema serikali pia ikatoa maelezo ya hili na wala si kuwasukumia Tanesco pekee. Hii ni kwa sababu ilifikia huko nyuma maamuzi mengi yalitoka serikalini (kumbuka hata huu ushauri wa malalamiko yaliridhiwa na serikali ikiwa mpaka ufunguaji wa hii akaunti). Ikiwa tatizo halijatatuliwa lililopelekea akaunti hii kufunguliwa ilikuwaje ifungwe na pesa zichukuliwe na upande mmoja au ni kwa 'shinikizo'?
Ewe punguani wacha kutia maneno yako ya kijinga kinywani mwangu, nakubaliana na wengi wepi? misukule kama wewe sikubaliani nayo, soma hiki halafu useme, ni nini hiki?
Hii ni ile kesi iliyotolewa hukumu na Jaji Utamwa, Law Associate Advocates walileta maombi/madai yafuatayo:
(a) The withdrawal of the petition and the discharge/release of the Provisional Liquidator of IPTL should not be allowed before the applicants' debt together with statutory interests as well as legal fees for representing VIP in the winding up proceedings is paid in full from the monies in the Escrow Account with the Bank of Tanzania (BOT),
(b) That the BOT may be restrained from releasing the monies from the Escrow Account to PAP or to any other person whatsoever till the applicants' debt and legal fees are fully paid from the said account.
(c) That the Provisional Liquidator of IPTL be restrained from handling (sic) over the affairs of IPTL to PAP or any other person whatsoever, till the applicants' debt and legal fees are fully paid from the monies in the Escrow Account.
(d) That, costs of the application be provided for.
(e) Any other order and or relief as this court may deem fit and appropriate in the circumstances.
Maombi haya yote yalitupiliwa mbali kwenye hukumu ya Jaji Utamwa na hukumu uliyosomeka:
"The preliminary objection raised against the application filled by
Law Associate, Advocates is upheld, the application is struck out and each party shall bear his own costs. The oral objection raised by Mr. Malimi learned counsel is also turned down...".
