[Ole]

Hio wala sio siri mkuu, kuna wakati TRA walitia kufuri kwenye mitambo ya DOWANS lakini kuna mnene aliingilia kati...

Huyo mnene ni JK

Tanzania: TRA Seizes Dowans Power Plant

11 November 2009

The Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) yesterday seized assets of a power production company, Dowans, including its gas-fired turbines.
The properties were seized by TRA agent Majembe Auction Mart on the grounds that the company had not remitted Sh9,120,611,746 in taxes to TRA.
Majembe Auction Mark marketing manager Dixion Kitime confirmed last night that Dowans assets had been seized.
"We have seized various Dowans assets, including its power generating turbines for their failure to settle tax claims," he said.
He named some of seized property as eight containers used to store fuel and other equipment.
Mr Kitime said the property has been seized to compel the company to settle the taxes.
He said if the company failed to settle the debt, the seized properties would be auctioned after ten days from today.
Dowans came in the country several years ago and bought a emergence power contract between Tanesco and a controversial Richmond Development Company.
But its contract was terminated prematurely by the government last year after it came to light that the original company, Richmond, has lied to the government.

Kutoka chanzo kinachoaminika, Mamlaka ya mapato Tanzania inaidai Dowans T ltd Tsh 36bn. TRA imeshapeleka barua ya madai hayo Tanesco, na wizara ya nishati na madini.

Aaaah wapi! wasilipwe hawa kumbe hata kodi ya mapato hawalipi!!!.

 

[Lupweko]

Dah, habari njema. Zinazidi kupungua tu, hadi net amount watajikuta wao wanadaiwa. Lakini hata kama zitapatikana, zitaenda kununua mafuta ya ndege za jeshi kufidia yaliyoteketea kule La Mboto

TZS 96bn-36bn=60bn still a very hot and succulent dish.....hivi hawalipi pango kwa kulaza mitambo yao kwenye yadi ya Tanesco?
