CBC EXTENDS SUSPENSION OF FBME OPERATIONS (UPDATED)Jul 25, 2014
The Central Bank (CBC) has extended the suspension of the operations of Tanzania-based FBME Bank, placed under administration last week after being deemed a “primary money laundering concern” by the US Treasury.


The CBC announced on Friday that it was extending the suspension for another two working days – Friday and Monday.


“The FBME branch in Cyprus will not execute any customer orders for money transfers and payments during this period,” the CBC said in a statement.


Last Friday, the Central Bank said it had taken control of FBME’s operations in Cyprus, following a report from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the US Treasury describing the bank as a “primary money laundering concern.”


Tanzania’s Central Bank followed suit, announcing on Friday that it had taken over the management of the lender.


Tanzania’s central bank said it took control of FBME Bank on Thursday because of the potential effect of the Cypriot move on Tanzania’s own banking system. It said FBME’s four branches in the east African country would remain open for business.


“The objective underlying this decision … is to ensure safety of customers’ deposits and safeguard the entire banking system,” it said in a statement.


FinCEN accused FBME, which though chartered in Tanzania operates primarily in Cyprus, of facilitating financial activity for transnational organised crime and Hezbollah.


FBME has denied the allegations, saying the US Treasury had compiled the report without its input.


The bank also claimed that the CBC’s action was a hostile takeover and that the authorities seemed to have forgotten that it took part in a quarter million euro bond issue last year as part of the island’s bailout.


Meanwhile, the suspension is causing problems to businesses which deal with FBME.


One company official said his outfit had outstanding phone and electricity bills and were due to be cut off because they could not make the payments.


“Without internet and electricity obviously we cannot function and we are in the process of finalizing transactions, which have taken us over a year and with proceeds in the millions from legitimate business,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.


The CBC said its action aimed at protecting the bank’s depositors but the official was unconvinced.


“I fail to see how seeing our company fall into insolvency and also be subject to breach of contract litigation, also in the millions, due to our inability to function as a business, protects us in the least.”


The company is asking the CBC to at least provide it with a letter to use with the utilities to ensure their operation

"The BOT has taken over the activities of the FBME bank and has appointed former NBC CEO, Lawrence Mafuru as the interim CEO" said my learned brother,John Seka on his facebook account.

Congratulations Laurence Mafuru!

Vipi CEO waenzi hizi za Makaburu au Kabla NBC haijawa ya Makaburu?
Lakini kwa vyovyote vile hana hadhi ya kuaminiwa kuwa masilahi ya Umma yatawekwa mbele mbali ni kufunika mambo ili Mafisadi wasijulikane!

Mafisadi hupeana Kazi kulinda Madudu yao.
Lakini kwenye hili wawe makini FBI wasije tia mguu Tz wataumbuka wengi.

Tanzania nchi ya kusikitisha, TUNACHAGUA wapuuzi halafu tunategemea wasifanye maamuzi ya kipumbavu. Tulisema last week hapa kuwa BOT was supposed to put this bank under administration, wakakana kuwa hakuna tatizo. sasa kiko wapi?

This is EMBARRASSING, kama BOT inasubiri ipewe taarifa kutoka US, sovereignty iko wapi?

Mbona hizo taarifa hazijafika mezani kwangu??

 

[MeinKempf]

Baada ya taarifa za tetesi ya Bank ya FMBE kuwa na akaunti zinazohusishwa na Ugaidi, hivyo kusababishwa kufungwa kukanushwa na Benki ya Taifa ya BoT; Benki hiyo (BoT) imetoa taarifa kwa Umma kuiendesha benki hiyo ya FBME toka July 24, 2014.

Hii ni baada ya Marekeni kuchunguza na kuibana benki ya FMBE hatimaye BoT wameingia kuiendesha.

Tanzania ni nchi amabyo hata Calpeters akija leo atashangaakuona falsafa na mbinu zake bado ziko hai na zinazidi leta mafaniko kiutendaji. Kuliko kutumikia serikali bora nifanye mambo yangu binafsi kwani ninaona kuwa nitapa stroke kwa kulazimishwa kutenda hata yale niyaonayo kuwa yanapingana na imani yangu. Eti tuna BoT??? Oooh Ghosh what a pity?

[Pascal Mayalla]

Pasco upo? You said it will never happen!.

Mkuu Kibanga, naomba nine very open wide and clear!.

1. Kwanza sikusema it will never happen!, bali niliipongeza hatua ya taarifa ya ofisa uhusiano wa BOT kuwa Tanzania will not bend to wicked Americans and their evil schemes!.
2. Kesho yake taarifa ya Cypriot ilipokuja humu kuwa wameishika menejment ya branch ya Cyprus, nilisema hao ni coward puppet nation with their puppet central bank puppeteering, akikohoa tuu bwana mkubwa, wao wanatetemeka!.
3. Zilipopatikana taarifa kuwa sasa sio tuu wameshika menejment, bali wameifunga na kuuza mali zake kuwalipa depositors, nikakubali, kwa vile Cyprus ndio kwenye 90 %, nikakiri, there is no way branch will survive!.
4. Kilichofanywa na BOT sio kuifunga bali kuimanage!, na hakina tofauti na ile taarifa ya awali ya BOT kuzuia panic!. Nimenote wengi humu wakidhani taarifa ya leo ni tofauti na ile ya mwanzo!, no!, its the same, that there is no need to panic!, huduma za FBME, zinaendelea kama kawa!.
5. Mwisho nimekubali yaishe!, mwenye nguvu mpishe!, hawa wicked Americans, with their evil schemes will be taken care by the "law of karma" na malipo ni hapa hapa duniani!.

Pasco

Mkuu Sangarara, BAK Mungu awape maisha marefu ili watu wapate mafundisho kutoka kwenu.

 

[Petro E. Mselewa]

wewe

Congraturation Mafuru kivipi?

Uteuzi wa Mafuru ni uthibitisho kwamba Kikwete anaingilia majumu kwenye Idara za serikali zinazohitaji maamuzi ya kitaalamu wakati utaalamu huo hana.


Mafuru aliondoka NBC kwa sababu zisizo nzuri hata kama zilifichwa na kumsaidia kuondoka kistaraabu, kwa vyovyote vile amepoteza sifa za kusimamia biashara ya Kibank.

Zaidi tunajua kwamba yuko kwenye Big Result Now Management team sijui Presidential nini nini, na hajamaliza hata miezi sita, sasa kumpeleka huko maana yake ni kwamba hakuwa na umuhimu hapo Ikulu? ukizingatia FBME inaendeshwa as a Project, lazima ifikie mwisho tena haraka, sasa unampelekaje mtu kutoka kitengo muhimu namna hiyo, au ndio mnatutaarifu kwamba BRN imeishafail? au anaunderperform?

Kwa nini wasipeleke mtu kutoka Bank Supervision department BOT?

Na kama ni kweli, ampitishie Kimei barua ya kuresign nafasi aliyochaguliwa CRDB, Non Executive Director wa CRDB leo leo jioni.

This country!!!!! I cry for you Tanzania...

It was a kidding congratulations....kindly forgive me

 

[Pascal Mayalla]

Hahahaha ... pasco dua la kuku ........kweli unawachukia wamarekani ......

No siwachukii as individual American citizen hata mimi wife na two kids wanaishi huko!, but tukiachana na double standards, haws jamaa ni real wicked with evil schemes for Africa!.

Pasco

 

[andrewk]

Walikanusha kuwa imefingwa, na sasa ndio wanatoa yaarifa kiwa itakuwa chini ya usimamizi wa bot, kwahiyo bado haijafungwa

 

[Pascal Mayalla]

BOT si walikanusha? nilishangaa sana ile jeuri ya kuwa against na matakwa ya Marekani yalitoka wapi!

Mkuu Ndibalema, you must have missed the point then, and you've missed the point leo!.

Taarifa ya mwanzo ya PRO wa BOT ilikuwa na lengo kuzuia panic!, hawakukanusha chochote bali walisema oparations zinaendelea kama kawa!. Taarifa ya leo inaeleza management take over but oparations zinaendelea kama kawa!, taarifa zilizokanusha ni ule uongo kuwa benki itafungwa!, haijafungwa na labda haitafungwa baada ya sisi kufanya due diligence report na kugundua its just the wicked people with their evil schemes!.
Pasco.
