Tanzania Tycoons List...

Mkuu naona apo pazito kwa maana kwetu matajiri wetu kuna mafisadi, majambazi, wauza madawa ya kulevya, vilevile waliochuma utajiri kwa nguvu za halali na waliorithi mali kwa wazee wao, ila kwa kutajwa humu mkuu inakuwa ngumu, naona kule kwa Waganda umetuwekea mambo saafi, kwa ndugu zetu wa Kikenya kidogo umetumwagia walau wachache ila hapa nyumbani ndio hujatupa data zozote? Binafsi nadhani Top ten ya kwetu ina mafisadi (waheshimiwa wastaafu) na familia zao at least in top 5 out of ten.

Hivi kumbe Bakhresa ana miaka 36 tu (ilikuwa 34 mwaka 2006). Mimi nimeaza kusikia jina hili zaidi ya miaka 20 iliyopita, yaani ina maana kuwa jamaa alianza utajiri akiwa chini ya miaka 16. Nadhani waandishi walikosea au labda huyu waliyemuongelea ni mtoto wake.

Nazir Mustafa Karamagi?

Nazir Mustafa Karamagi (born December 13, 1953) is a Tanzanian politician and a Member of Parliament in the National Assembly of Tanzania, representing Bukoba Vijijini constituency.[1]

Karamagi has been a member of the National Executive Council of the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) since 2002.[1] He was appointed Minister of Industry, Trade and Marketing in the Cabinet named on January 4, 2006.[2] He was then moved to the position of Minister of Energy and Minerals on October 15, 2006,[3] remaining in the latter post until he resigned on February 7, 2008 after being implicated in a scandal regarding the government's dealings with the Richmond Development Company. His resignation came shortly after Prime Minister Edward Lowassa resigned for the same reason.[4]

According to Karamagi, he took over the Ministry of Energy and Minerals six months after the government had signed its contract with Richmond, which Karamagi said was a deal made in good faith and intended to provide more energy for the country. Although he acknowledged that the government subsequently became aware of the dubious nature of the company, he said that it did not back out of the deal for fear of being taken to court by Richmond.[4]

Edward Ngoyayi Lowassa?

Edward Ngoyayi Lowassa (born 1953) is a former Prime Minister of Tanzania. He took office on December 30, 2005 and resigned on February 7, 2008.

Lowassa served as Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office during President Ali Hassan Mwinyi's second term. He unsuccessfully sought the nomination of Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) as its presidential candidate in 1995 and was then a backbencher in Parliament until he was appointed Minister for State, Vice President's Office - Environment & Poverty in 1997. Following the Tanzanian general election, 2000 he was appointed Minister of Water and Livestock Development. He gained a high profile as a minister of Water and Livestock Development, but chose not to seek the CCM presidential nomination in 2005, to the surprise of many observers. The CCM chose Jakaya Kikwete as its candidate, and after Kikwete won the 2005 election he announced his nomination of Lowassa for the position of Prime Minister on December 29, 2005. Parliament overwhelmingly confirmed the nomination, with 312 votes in favor and two opposed, and Lowassa was sworn in December 30.[1]

Upon resigning, Lowassa informed the Tanzania Parliament that he had tendered his resignation to the President after being implicated in a report by a Parliamentary Committee investigating the awarding of a contract to Richmond Development Company LLC of Texas, USA for the supply of electricity to Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (TANESCO). According to the report, the Prime Minister used his position to circumvent the rules and influence the bid process in favor of Richmond Development Company. Further, the committee presented findings which showed that Richmond Development was an essentially bogus 'briefcase company', which fabricated and forged documents used during the bidding process. Lowassa has an extensive background in both parliamentary issues and government affairs. Lowassa is the first Prime Minister to have been forced to resign by a fraud scandal in the history of Tanzania.

Kwetu ni tofauti pengine kutokana na sababu zifuatazo
1. Undugu na kufahamiana. Ukishajulikana una uwezo, ndugu na marafiki wote wanaacha kazi na kukutazama wewe kama mwokozi wao katika shida zao mbalimbali. Unakuwa ni mbeba majukumu ya wote na ndio maana on a small scale mtu mwenye mafanikio hawezi kuishi katika mafanikio yake kwa muda mrefu.

2. Imani potofu kuwa utalogwa au labda wengine wenye imani hizi wakiwana vijipesa wamevipata katika njia hizo za matambiko. This is on small scale as well.

3. watu wengi wenye utajiri wanatumia kujuana katika biashara zao na hawalipi kodi zinazotakiwa walipe. Kwa hiyo wana hofu ya kujulikana ni matajiri. Wakishajitangaza hivyo maswali yatazuka mengi sana kuhusu huo utajiri wameupataje. Kumbuka kufa mashirika mengi yaliwajaza pesa mifukoni watu wachache ambao na wao wanapeana tax holidays au pengine hawalipi tax zozote.

4. Bakhressa kujulikana unatokana na kwamba biashara yake ni service oriented na amepanua matawi kila eneo. I hope analipa kodi au ameanza kulipa kodi. Wengine wanawakatia govt officials kitu kidogo ili wasifanye estimations za kweli kuhusiana na biashara zao. So what happens?? the poor people suffer more. Akibanwa taxes, wanalazimika kupandisha bei za bidhaa kisa walishazoea kupata faida 200%.


4. utajiri wa wengi unatokana na wizi na katika njia zisizo za haki. Kama kuna tajiri mwenye imani kuwa ameafanikiwa katika hali ya usafi yaani no nepotism, no tax holiday, no forgeries on tax documents, no kujuana na mbunge, no kujuana na CEOs, May he or she please stand up!

anyone? anyone?

I can dare say matajiri wengi wa bongo ni WEZI!

 
Kupima utajiri wa mtu inahitaji ujue all types of money the guy has focuses on the liquidity of money.
Commodity money,fait money and credit money.
Kwa hiyo jumla ya vyote hivyo ndio utajiri wa mtu na mtu hapa akisema fulani ni tajiri zaidi ya fulani inabidi atuampie kwa kiasi gani.Sio kuchukua habari kwenye wikipedia ambayo mtu yeyote ana publish atakavyo,au kwenye blog ambazo unauliza swali na mtu yeyote anajibu kama ulivyowekwa baadhi ya ushahidi hapo juu.
Ingawa mimi sijuhi hasa tajiri zaidi ni nani bongo kwa hiyo watakaye tuambie atuzibitishie.
Natanguliza shukrani zangu.
Wasalaam,
Mutu.
 
Rostam Aziz?

It has been claimed that Vodacom Group has a habit of choosing politicians and their friends as business partners to extends its operations on the continent [6]. It was reported by The Mail & Guardian that Mozambican President Armando Guebuza had become a shareholder in Vodacom Mozambique.

Vodacom Tanzania was licensed in Tanzania with its local partners Planetel Communications holding 36 % and Caspian Construction holding 16%. Later Planetel decreased its stake to 16%, while Caspian's increased to 19%[7].

A representative of Caspian on the Vodacom Tanzania board is businessman-politician Rostam Aziz, a close supporter of President Jakaya Kikwete. At the time Vodacom was licensed in Tanzania, neither man was quite as powerful as now.Kikwete was Foreign Minister and Aziz had yet to occupy any formal position in Tanzanian politics.

Mtsimbe...thanks kuanza kujadili siasa, lkn ujue TPN unaiweka hatarini, wanasiasa wa TZ hawaoni raha kujadili this discussion. hata kama umepata wabunge ktk TPN bado kuchangia kwako ktk mambo kama Haya haitakuwa vyema kwao. nakushauri ukitaka kuchangia mambo kama Haya kuwa na NICKNAME ingine..otherwise isije kukumbuka kama walivyokumbwa wafanyakazi wa SMZ na wakawa washabiki wa CUF.
 
I think the best way to go about it ni kupata list ya walipa kodi wakubwa [individuals] hawa ndio wakuwatambua kwa kua nchi pia inafaidika na utajiri wao.Mtu kama Lowassa mwenye nyumba zaidi ya hamsini Dar na arusha through dubious means [10%] sidhani tukubali
 

mwenye miaka 36..ni mwanae ..mohamed ambaye ni next in the line kwenye bakhressa empire....
 

Chuma . . . Asante sana kwa angalizo. Actually nia yangu ya kuanzisha hii thread ni kutaka Watanzania wengine tuweze kujifunza kutoka kwa wenzetu ambao wemefanikiwa katika hilo. Bila ya shaka kuna watu ambao geinuinely watakuwa wamepata utajiri kwa njia za haki na tunapaswa kujifunza kutoka kwao. Na hili sidhani binafsi kama ni swala la kisiasa bali la kimaendeleo na hasa hasa kibiashara na bila ya shaka wenzetu hao watahitaji pongezi as long as tutapata actual facts.

Binafsi kama umeona post zangu zote hazina muelekeo wa kisiasa na ndio maana ninaweka na sources za information zangu.

TPN ni Mtandao ambao haufungamani na Jinsia, Dini wala Siasa za mlego wowote na ndio maana ina wapenzi na wanachama wa namna zote.
 

Khoryere, nadhani sasa tumefikia pazuri, kama kunauwezekano wa kupata listi ya walipa kodi wakubwa TRA then kodi wanayolipa bila ya shaka itakuwa proportional na mapato yao.

Lakini hata kama kuna makampuni yanayomilikiwa na watu ambao wana hisa kubwa bado kiasi cha kodi ambacho kampuni hiyo inalipa kinaweza kikatupatia picha halisi.

Je kuna reference yoyote ya large tax payers inaweza kupatikana?
 
Some businessmen don't pay the required amount of tax because THEY ARE businessmen. Where is the logic of paying the required tax knowing very well someone in the hierarchy of the government is going to have a piece of it anyway while one can ‘negotiate' with the tax office so that they both ‘profit'. As long as the money won't be used to benefit the country or the impoverished, they might as well do 'business'. Business ethics has no role in some situations.
