Misalaba alienda mbali zaidi na kusema, kesi za kijinai hazina muda maalum katika mashitaka na kwa kigezo hicho, wanafanya uchunguzi wa kina zaidi ili kupata ushahidi wa kutosha.

According to PCCB, all the corruption cases including the Richmond power generation scandal, Kagoda Agriculture Limited's involvement in Bank of Tanzania’s External Payment Arrears account (EPA) scam, Tangold, Meremeta mines and the military radar scam were still subject to ongoing corruption investigations.
PCCB spokesperson Mussa Misalaba insisted that criminal/corruption cases were only abandoned when the culprits died.
“We are still working on all these grand corruption cases…they will all be prosecuted pending completion of investigations by our probe teams,” Mussa explained.
He elaborated that criminal cases have no time limitation as in civil cases; therefore taking a long time is an investigation matter.
When this paper asked him when the suspects will be brought to the court, Mussa refused to answer it by saying that “I cannot give you details about this because it is all about investigation” He said that PCCB is always working for the interest of public, therefore the public have no need to worry about all reported corruptions scandals.
However, the Richmond was a scandal claimed to misleading the Tanzania Electric Company (Tanesco)'s board of directors into believing that Richmond Development Company had the technical and financial capacity to produce 100MW to the national grid.
The scandal led to the resignation of the former Prime Minister Edward Lowassa, who was accused of having a hand in the controversial power deal. The Richmond power scandal rocked President Jakaya Kikwete's government in 2008.
Another scandal involved the controversy over the ownership of one of the major companies which is accused of looting a big chunk in the $131million EPA account of the Bank of Tanzania, Kagoda Agriculture Limited has raised concerns after following reports that the "owner" of the company is dead.
President Kikwete then formed a tripartite investigative team comprising Attorney General, Johnson Mwanyika, Inspector General of Police Said Mwema and the Director General of the Prevention and Combating Corruption Bureau, Dr Edward Hoseah, to probe the matter and take legal action.
The tripartite team reported that 13 out of the 22 companies were paid $90 million through forged documents.On the other hand, Meremeta Gold, the firm that was paid a whopping Sh155 billion by the Bank of Tanzania in unclear circumstances reveled to be an offshore company, registered in United Kingdom in 1997.
It has been further revealed that BoT paid an additional $13.34m (approx. 17bn/-) to another bank account under the name of TANGOLD, at the National Bank of Commerce Limited Corporate Branch in Dar es Salaam.
Government sources say that BoT purchased a controversial Sh 155bn Treasury bond and later exchanged the amount for US dollar currency, which was used to effect the suspect payments to Meremeta and TANGOLD.
Andrew Chenge then Minister for Infrastructure Development had resigned after SFO implicated him in the scandal, with claims that he received $1.5 million from BAE. BAE Systems admitted there were malpractices in the process, and offered to refund the Government of Tanzania $46 million.
