Kaka kingereza ni muhimu sana na hauwezi kukikwepa, haswa kwa nchi zetu hizi ambazo tunaagiza hadi sindano. Kwenu hapo mikataba, sheria na stakabadhi nyeti zimeandikwa kwa kingereza. Hivyo mtakiponda kila uchao kwa dhana ya 'sizitaki mbichi' lakini kimewazunguka na kuwalea. Lazima mkubali kuikabili hii lugha ya mabwana zetu Afrika, maana ndio inatumika kuwatafuna kwenye mikataba.

Hilo la nyie kuwa na elimu halina mashiko ni 'neither here nor there' maana elimu hiyo kama hamuitumii kulinda vya kwenu, basi haina umuhimu. Nafuatilia mijadala yenu ya mchanga wa madini hadi nahisi kujificha chini ya meza kwa aibu, kama kweli mumekua mkiliwa miaka yote hii kijinga hivyo pamoja na elimu yenu hiyo ni aibu kubwa Afrika na sio kwenu tu.
Wenye elimu huitumia kwa maslahi ya nchi, wanahoji balaa, na kukatalia chochote kisichoendana na misimamo yao, hata kama watapitia kibano sio kusubiri hadi mtafunwe mifupa ndio mnaanza kukurupuka.

Soma taarifa za profesa Wangari Maathai ndio uelewe nini maana ya elimu.

Wakenya wanajua Kiingereza lkn bado wanaibiwa tu kila siku, kama Viongozi wa Kenya wakianika Mikataba wanayosaini na Wageni, kutatokea Mapinduzi kesho, siajabu Kenya yote imeshauzwa kwa Mzungu/Mchina si ajabu hata Mombasa siyo Mali ya Kenya, ...

What a moronic mindset, No wonder Kenya's politicians are climbing to the bilionnaire ladder by the day through their ill-goten money. Akili za kijinga kuliko hata ujinga wenyewe

Millions feared lost in mining sector through lax regulations

MONDAY OCTOBER 31 2016

Kenya could be losing millions of shillings in revenue from the extractive sector, with companies left to voluntarily declare how much they produce since the authorities lack capacity to validate the figures.

According to the Auditor General’s report for the year to June 2015, regulatory lapses and poor monitoring gave two major mining firms, which export billions worth of minerals annually, the leeway to determine what royalties to pay without audits by the ministry of Mining.

Carbacid (CO2) Ltd — a leading producer of natural, food grade, compressed carbon dioxide — is said to have failed to file reports on its production.

The multinational, which paid the government Sh1.008 million in 2015, is said to have done so on its own volition without providing records of how much it extracted.

“Clause 10 of the signed mining licence requires Carbacid to file progress reports and sales returns which form the basis for royalty payments. Carbacid has to date not complied with the provision. Thus, it has not been possible to confirm the accuracy and completeness of the royalties received,” the auditor wrote.

The company, owned by Carbacid Investments Ltd and listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange, made a profit before tax of Sh580 million in 2015 after a Sh186 million tax investment allowance on new investments that was made in 2014.

In another case, Base Titanium, which is among the biggest foreign firms in the mining sector, paid royalties amounting to Sh260.7 million in 2015 by declaring on its own will the amount of titanium exported, according to the auditor general.

The declarations were based on the quantities licensed by the Commissioner of Mines but no verification was made on the actual quantities of export.

Self-declared quantities

“The receipts are based on self-declared export quantities for which the Commissioner of Mines and Geology has issued export permits. There has been no evidence of subsequent verification of the actual exports vis-à-vis declared quantities to validate their accuracy. It is, therefore, not possible to confirm the completeness and validity of royalties’ income as reported,” the auditor wrote.

The Australian multinational — which controversially claimed Sh2 billion in Value Added Tax refunds from the government last year, sparking a backlash from then Mining Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala — said it had invested heavily in building its own port and ship loading facility.

The revelations now put the Mining ministry on the spot with regard to the system of tracking operators and the actual revenue due to the government. The ministry’s licence monitoring was also questioned as it potentially allows dealers to operate beyond what they are allowed to do.

“There has been no dealer premise visits conducted in the year under review to verify validity and compliance with the existing licence terms. Information available indicates that revenues totalling Sh820,000 in the form of dealer licence remained uncollected and undisclosed in the financial statements as of June 30, 2015,” noted the auditor.

The scenario paints the image of a wide revenue leakage which, if sealed, could have enabled Kenya to collect more than the Sh1.3 billion it did last year from dealer licences. The ministry, which the auditor general said had no records of its fixed assets, is also yet to map the minerals available in Kenya.

This means those involved in exploration have a free hand to identify locations and quantities of minerals available.Mining Cabinet Secretary Dan Kazungu, who recently revealed that Sh3 billion had been set aside to map mining resources, did not respond to enquiries by the Sunday Nation sent to him two weeks ago despite several reminders. Our questions were on the regulatory lapses and the timelines set, which have been pending since 2012.

Base Titanium, which confirmed it was still waiting for Sh1.7 billion relating to the construction in 2014, had reported paying Sh225 million in royalties, an amount the government in May 2015 disputed; recognising only Sh100 million received from the company, which was expected to have paid Sh400 million.

Base Titanium told the Sunday Nation it had complied with all requirements but at the same time blamed the ministry for failing to audit exports.

“Base Titanium complies with the full range of reporting requirements set out under its Special Mining Lease and the relevant laws and regulations.

“While the auditor general refers to lack of evidence of verification by the Ministry of Mining of Base Titanium’s exports, the company’s adherence to the regulatory requirements and its robust internal systems means the royalty payments accurately reflect the sales made in a given period. Every shipment is made under an export permit granted by the Ministry of Mining,” the firm wrote in response to our queries.

Base Titanium’s export data shows that it has sold titanium worth Sh29.4 billion since 2014.

Carbacid also denied the allegations on lack of records and possible revenue losses for Kenya. It said it plans to exist “for a very long time”.

“We are not aware of these allegations; all we know is that we have been complying,” the management said without giving further details.

The auditor general also faulted the issuance of export permits to mining companies as the licences are dished out irregularly with negative revenue consequences.

“Information available indicates that export permits with a value of $18,619,645 (approximately Sh1.9 billion) were issued during the year by an unauthorised officer whose employment contract expired on April 19, 2014.

This is contrary to the Mining Act which stipulates that export permits are to be signed by the Commissioner of Mines or an authorised officer whose authority has been delegated in writing. Consequently, the validity of the revenue collections on the export permits issued by the officer could be challenged,” the auditor wrote.

In many scenarios, multinationals are also accused of exaggerating expenditures on corporate social responsibility exercises and huge investment expenditures which inflate their costs and create tax reliefs.

Mining, which contributes a paltry 3.2 per cent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product, is said to be capable of generating up to 10 per cent by 2030, according to a recent mining forum in Nairobi.

Analysts believe Kenya risks losing more billions in the more complicated oil industry owing to such glaring loopholes.“We may as well be creating a huge avenue for scandals and massive losses if managing the simple extractive sector has become hard,” Nairobi-based analyst Robert Shaw told the Sunday Nation.

According to advocacy group Tax Justice Network Africa, a huge revenue lapse in the extractive sector is hurting the continent’s potential revenue growth, with various tax incentives given to multinationals to attract investments.

TJNA estimates that East Africa loses up to Sh200 billion a year by granting tax incentives to multinationals in the extractive sector. In a report released in June, TJNA and ActionAid asked the governments to review their tax incentives.

East African nations continue to lose huge amounts of revenue through unnecessary tax exemptions and incentives given to corporations,” reads the report.

Tanzania ni kweli tunaibiwa lkn tofauti ni kwamba tunajua na sasa hivi tunalifanyia kazi, sasa hivi nchi nzima tunajadili khs Rasilimali zetu kuibiwa na kutafuta suluhisho lkn Kenya hkn kitu kama hicho, hkn anayejua chochote, ukiondoa maelite wachache!

Pia tofauti kati ya Tanzania na nchi nyingine za Afrika, hkn mtu private anayeweza kuown ardhi yetu kwa maana ardhi yetu inamilikiwa na Serikali yetu kwa niaba yetu, lkn Kenya huwezi jua labda British monarchy owned the whole of Kenya, who knows?

Sio kwamba mnajua leo ndio mumekua mkiibiwa, mumelijua miaka yote ila kwa uzembe wa kuhoji na kutotaka kusoma mikataba mkaishia kuliwa hadi mifupa.
Hizo blablah zako za kila siku eti Kenya mali ya wazungu n.k. tushazizoea na huwa hatuzijibu tena maana hamjakaririshwa mapya, ni yale yale mliambiwa tangu awali hadi siku mpewe updates kama softwares mtaendelea kuimba huo wimbo.

Cha msingi Kenya hatukuanza kujitambua leo kama mnavyofanya, hatua za kujitambua tulishazipita na leo hii tunavuna. Tatizo lenu kubwa ni nyie wapiganiaji wa CCM kwenye mitandao, mumetamausha wasomi wengi wa Tanzania wanaothubutu kuhoji chochote kwenye mitandao, huwa naona kila msomi akihoji kwenye jukwaa zenu za siasa jinsi wewe na wenzio huwa mnatiririka humo na kuzima na kuharibu hiyo mijadala.

Yaani huwa mpo kama robots, akiibuka Mtanzania na mada inayohoji chochote huwa hamchelewi kumzima na kuharibu nyuzi.
Msingekua mnafanya hayo labda hata madini hayangeliwa kiasi hicho, lakini kwa vihela vidogo mnavyolipwa kuharibu nyuzi za watu wanaohoji, mnaachia mambo yanakuja kulipuka baadaye sana tayari kumekucha mchanga umetoweka kwa makontena miaka yote.

Mchina ni nyoko, inaonekana kabisa kaishatutosa baada ya kupunch hizo projects zake za Mbegani port na SGR ya wizi. Hapa Museveni akitereza tu Kagame hapindui alafu reli yetu inakuwa white elephant project. Hapa ni kuhakikisha tunapata funds za haraka ili kujenga hii reli mapema iwekezanavyo. JPM akishundwa kufanya hivyo kamwe watanzania hatutamsamehe. Swali ni atapata wapi hela? Wazungu kawatibua, Wachina ndio hawamsomi? Balozi Maiga ana kazi sana.
