’Smear’ campaign against PCCB boss gathers steam

THISDAY REPORTER
Dar es Salaam

A GROUP of powerful individuals targeted in ongoing investigations into grand corruption in the country is putting pressure on President Jakaya Kikwete’s government to remove the director-general of the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB), Dr Edward Hoseah, in an attempt to derail the investigations, it has been revealed.

Various names are already being mentioned within government circles as possible replacements for Hoseah, in tandem with the unleashing of what appears to be a vigorous smear campaign to discredit the current PCCB boss.

The smear campaign against Hoseah comes amid reports that the Bureau is in the final stages of filing corruption charges against prominent local personalities who have been linked to at least five separate PCCB investigations into high-level graft.

It is understood that the PCCB investigations have targeted a number of well-connected politicians, senior government officials, and prominent local businessmen.

At least some if not all of these same people are said to be behind what is perceived as an ongoing media attack on the PCCB boss, the main objective being to derail and perhaps completely scupper the investigations.

Reacting to reports by some local media outlets that Hoseah illegally acquired a government house in Dar es Salaam, various government officials interviewed by THISDAY have explained that the PCCB boss was actually one of the beneficiaries in the sale of various government buildings in the city’s Oysterbay suburb to civil servants.

Officials in the Ministry of Infrastructure Development have meanwhile dismissed reports alleging that Hoseah illegally bought a government building reserved as the official residence of the PCCB director-general.

It has now emerged that the government sold to Hoseah another house, situated on plot number 1/8 along Chisiza Close Street in Oysterbay, that was previously used by the PCCB for storage purposes.

’’The government house reserved as the official residence of the PCCB director general has never been sold,’’ said an official of the Tanzania Buildings Agency.

The TBA official further explained that the house in question, numbered GT/MIK/HS 12, is located in the city's Mikocheni suburb, and is currently occupied by PCCB deputy director-general, Ms Lilian Mashaka.

’’Hoseah was sold another house following all laid-down procedures, as part of the normal exercise of selling houses to government officials,’’ the TBA official added.

Even the former PCCB director-general, Anatory Kamazima, was sold a house by the government before his retirement, government officials told THISDAY.

Wameanza kutapatapa...Hoseah fahamu ushirika wa wachawi haudumu.

Wameshajua aliyekuwepo Ikulu ni muoga labda kwa sababu ya madhambi yake kama anavyoyajua mwenyewe, sasa wamepata nguvu na wanaanza kuonyesha makucha yao dhidi ya wale wanaowachunguza.

Nchi inatikisika haina mwelekeo kwa kukosa viongozi wenye vision na ambao wako tayari kutumia vyombo vya dola vilivyo chini ya madaraka yao kuhakikisha sheria za nchi zinafuatwa na wote, bila kujali wadhifa au utajiri wa wahusika.

We should all concentrate to KIKI their A…. and burn the ground under their feet

They don't deserve to be in any leadership positions.

Kwa hii habari, utaweza kudhani Edward Hosea anafanya kazi nzuri sana ya kuhatarisha usalama wa mafisadi. Wakati sio kweli.

Hosea ni moja ya nyuso za uozo wa utawala huu katika kupambana na ufisadi.

Alisema dili la Richmond lilikuwa safi. Ikaja kugundulika kwamba huo ulikuwa ni moja ya michemko mikubwa kuliko yote katika historia ya uchunguzi, au ya michemko.

Akasema Mkapa hawezi kuchunguzwa kwa tuhuma za ufisadi sababu Katiba inamlinda. Kitu ambacho sio kweli. Tukigundua leo kwamba, kwa mfano, Mkapa akiwa Rais, aliua mfanyakazi wake wa ndani, hataweza 'kupeta' kwa hiyo jinai. Katiba sio jinga kiasi hicho. Katiba inalinda dhidi ya mashitaka yanayohusiana na utendaji wa kazi za Urais, na sio jinai yoyote ile kama ufisadi. Edward Hosea sio, na wala hajawahi kuwa, tishio.

Fisadi mwenye akili unamtaka Hosea abaki pale. Na, mafisadi, waite jina lolote, sio Vichwa Panzi. Wanaiba benki kuu kwa kutumia barua za Usalama wa Taifa. Wanapora madini bila kuteka lori linalotoka Buhemba. Wanacheza karata tatu kwenye tenda za ndege za Ikulu, machopa ya Kijeshi na marada ya nchi. Wanachonga Sheria za Jamhuri zinazopitiwa na mamia ya vichwa Bungeni na Mawizarani halafu wanakuja kutumia ma loophole waliochomekea humo kuchora mkataba ya ulaghai - chini ya sheria. Na wakitengeneza senti haziendi kukaa chini ya godoro Mwanza. Wanachora michoro ya kujibinafsishia hazina za nchi kwa kuanzisha makampuni yenye siri za Kijeshi. Sio wajinga hawa wa kutibua maji tuli pale TUKUKURU.

Kama mafisadi wanapiga ramli Hosea aondoke, eti kuua masoo ambayo yako pending, watajuaje kwamba huyo mpya hatakuja moto chini zaidi kufukua hayo mafaili?

Hii hadithi hai make sense. Hakuna fisadi anaetaka Hosea aondoke Tume ya Kulinda na Kutetea Mafisadi.

Hii story inaweza kuwa ya kweli kabisa (100%) if and only if one thing has happened to Mr Hosea recently.......... malaika Gabriel amemshukia na kumfanya atubu madhambi yake ya ufisadi na sasa amebadilika na kuwa kiumbe mpya anayeuchukia ufisadi, hivyo juhudi zake mpya za kupambana nao zimeshaanza kuwakera waliokuwa mafisadi wenzie. Kama si hivyo utanimbiaje kuhusu alivyofukia mashimo suala la richimonduli na mengine mengi na ni nini kimemfanya abadilike sasa??????????????
