Kwenye Tweeter nimeona mbunge wa Tanzania amefanya retweeting ya Joseph Burite anayedai kwamba Tanzania imeibuka na masharti mapya lukuki ambayo hayakuwepo, kwa kifupi wameanza kupoteana na kila mmoja anaongea lugha yake.
Tatizo Watanzania waliachia kila kitu, wakaahidi kila walichoagizwa ilmradi washinde Wakenya, sasa watakua wamepiga mahesabu na kuona wataliwa na Mganda kwa muda mrefu.
Huyo Mganda aje tu atatukuta manyang'au tupo, huu mchezo hautaki hasira, kila siku nawaambia Watanzania biashara haina undugu wala fadhila ila maslahi.
Kwenye biashara unahitaji kuwa mwenye subira kama chui, unapiga mahesabu ya kona zote, juu chini, pembeni, kulia, kushoto, kasi ya upepo, miale ya jua n.k. Unajiridhisha kabla ya kuruka....

Tanzania snubs Uganda’s invitation for bilateral talks
KAMPALA. Tanzania has ignored multiple requests from Uganda for a bilateral meeting to address trade concerns.
Uganda in September petitioned Tanzania over dipping trade relations on a number of issues that have negatively impacted trade between the two countries.
Ms Hadija Nakakande, the Ministry of Trade public relations manager, had in September confirmed they had petitioned Tanzania to address issues related to Ugandan exports into Tanzania.
However, the bilateral would have given opportunity for both countries to relay their concerns.
Key among the issues, she said, would include resolving the issue of road user fees, which require Ugandan exporters to pay for using Tanzania roads, retesting products that have already been certified by Uganda National Bureau of Standards, free movement of people and charging Ugandan traders’ business visas.
Ugandan clearing and forwarding agents have also been raising concerns over the fact that they have been denied an opportunity to open outlets in Tanzania.
The Trade Ministry, Ms Nakakande said would also seek to address the recurring issue that has seen countries raise a red-flag on re-exporting goods imported from other countries.

Sour relations
The meeting follows concerns over denying entry to some of Ugandan products into Tanzania and slapping some with prohibitive taxes.
Tanzania had announced that it would slap Ugandan sugar with a 25 per cent Import Duty contrary to the East Africa Common Market Protocol.
Other products that had been denied entry into the country include sweets and other sweeteners that Tanzania claimed are re-exported from other countries.
However, Daily Monitor has now learnt that Tanzania has since September not responded to multiple requests from Uganda for a bilateral meeting.
During a telephone interview, Mr Emmanuel Atwine, the senior commercial officer Ministry of trade, yesterday revealed that Tanzania was yet to respond despite several attempts by Uganda.
“They did not respond,” he said.
Efforts have also been taken through the embassy of Uganda in Tanzania but all have been futile,” Mr Atwine said.

Way forward
The minister is now planning a visit to the East African country to secure a face to face meeting with Tanzania.
“They have not yet responded but we are planning on going there ourselves, we even engaged our embassy to talk to them but still no positive response,” he responded explaining that the minister will set the date of travel.

Treaty

Consensus. A consensus to allow Uganda export sugar to Tanzania was reached by the two East African countries, according to a report following the second session of the Joint Permanent Commission meeting held in Kampala in August.
Relations between Uganda and Tanzania have for long been sour and multiple efforts have been taken to correct them.

Govt, crude oil firms differ on registration of pipeline company

Uganda and the three main oil companies – Total E&P, Cnooc, and Tullow Oil – are torn over where to register the holding company for the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline, a deadlock that has partly created a delay in the signing of the Host Government Agreement, and ultimately the Final Investment Decision, writes JEFF MBANGA.

According to a secret memo that the ministry of Energy and Mineral Development drafted for cabinet in September, a copy of which The Observer has seen, the three oil companies want the holding company for the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline Company (EACOP) incorporated in the United Kingdom with branches in Uganda and Tanzania, while government wants the company incorporated in Uganda.

Another stalemate is the voting rights for the Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) on key decisions within that company.

According to the Production Sharing Agreements that Uganda signed with the oil companies, UNOC is to have 15 per cent participating interest in many infrastructure projects such as the crude pipeline.

It has now emerged that while the three oil companies have no issues with UNOC’s 15 per cent, government is worried that that percentage is not enough to swing key decisions in its favour during the voting process by the shareholders.

The ministry of Energy notes though: “The upstream oil companies prefer to incorporate the EACOP company in the United Kingdom with branches each in Uganda and Tanzania. GoU prefers that the pipeline company is incorporated in Uganda with a branch in Tanzania.

However, GoU is willing to consider company incorporation in the United Kingdom provided that it is headquartered in and its major operations are conducted in Uganda.”

It is not hard to see why the oil companies want to have the pipeline company registered in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is increasingly being viewed as a tax haven, and companies tend to prefer to incorporate there as a scheme of lowering their tax bills.

Another reason as to why companies prefer to register in places such as the United Kingdom is because of their more predictable legal regime, especially during dispute resolution. Although, Ugandan laws allow for disputes in the oil industry worth more than $7 million to be settled in an international court of arbitration.

But even when it comes to these international arbitrations, Uganda and the oil companies disagree on which court should hear the cases. The three oil companies prefer to settle disputes at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), which is located in Washington, USA, while the Uganda government wants London Court of International Arbitration. Uganda’s opposition to the Washington court, according to the memo, is “due to the fact that many states consider it unfair to state parties and this is primarily why several states in South America have withdrawn from ICSID.”

Already, the oil companies say they want the terms and conditions in the Host Government Agreement (HGA) to be governed by English law. However, government wants the HGA to be government by Ugandan law. The HGA will include clauses such as the responsibilities of both Uganda and Tanzania towards offering security of the project, access to land, respect to human rights, just to mention a few.

What looks hard, though, is pushing for an increase in UNOC’s voting rights. The memo points out that “UNOC will participate in the pipeline company as a minority shareholder (15%), but as the shipper of Government’s share of crude oil which is the majority shipment of the pipeline, UNOC should have an affirmative vote on key decisions of the pipeline company such as budgets and work programs, major capital investments and choice of operator.”

It adds: “This would enhance GoU’s national content objectives, among others.

On the other hand, however, the upstream oil companies are opposed to UNOC having an affirmative vote.”

Last week, we wrote how the oil companies and government had divergent views on the amount of oil resources that should be shared between the oil pipeline and the refinery. We pointed out that the oil companies wanted all the available oil resources to be directed towards the pipeline at the expense of a delay in commissioning in the oil refinery. Such a delay would make the refinery unviable, government warns.

It now appears there are more contentious issues between the government and the oil companies, all of which could push the much-awaited Final Investment Decision (FID) further back.

The FID is seen as the key agreement that will activate huge cash investments into the oil industry.

According to the memo, the issue surrounding land rights for the pipeline is not resolved either. The route of the crude oil pipeline from Hoima in western Uganda to the Chongoleani peninsula in Tanzania is expected to cut across major infrastructure such as power lines, roads and a railway line, among others.

Institutions such as the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited own the rights over some of the land where power lines are located.

Now the oil companies want full rights over any land where the crude oil pipeline will pass. Government says that might not be possible. Instead, government says it will not grant the oil companies their wish of having superior land rights; rather, it will only endorse “rights that facilitate co-existence with other infrastructure.”

Generally, there is a widespread consensus that these disagreements are not too strong for Total E&P, Cnooc, and Tullow Oil to pull the plug on going further with their investments in Uganda. Such a scenario, government warns, would leave Uganda compensating the oil companies $2.5 billion for the investments made in the oil fields to date, and a further $138 million for investments in the crude oil pipeline to date. That is aside from the reputational risk that Uganda would suffer if the oil companies decided to leave the country.

So, this is going to come down to a meeting, expected to be held on December 12, chaired by President Yoweri Museveni. Most of these critical disagreements are expected to be resolved in that meeting.

Analysts we have spoken to believe Museveni is going to stick to the earlier plans of moving ahead with the refinery. Museveni is also expected to stick to current legal framework governing land, as any attempt to offer the oil companies superior rights would lead to an amendment to the land laws.

At the end, government is likely to concede on certain areas such as leaving UNOC to have minority voting rights in the pipeline company.

Not so fast Dr Mengi is more smarter on this, he is already forging ventures with the Chinese on a gas pipeline project to Uganda. Mind u EACOP will need to be heated n he is already ready to tap the opportunity. Imagine inviting the whole delegation of Chinese investors plus their Ambassador for lunch!

Dr Mengi invites Chinese firms into crop processing, smelting plants

ippmedia.com/en/news/dr-mengi-invites-chinese-firms-crop-processing-smelting-plants


December 5, 2018
Speaking yesterday during a luncheon he prepared for the delegation of Chinese investors who were in the country to explore investment opportunities, Dr Mengi said he is looking for joint ventures with Chinese companies interested to partner with IPP in gas extraction and tyre manufacturing among others.

"My plan is to revive General Tyre plant in Arusha and this is strategic because we have already announced plans to assemble cars in the country - which means we will need tyres," he said.

Dr Mengi told the Chinese delegation that Tanzania was a country with vast investment opportunities in natural resources, saying it can do wonders if enough promotion is made.

He stated that IPP plans to invest in processing cashew nuts , smelting mineral sands from mining areas like gold, tanzanite and others, plus transporting gas to Uganda.

IPP similarly intends to return General Tyre East Africa to its old self as a giant tyre manufacturing plant located in Arusha, he told the delegation.

Other areas Dr Mengi surveyed include plans to invest in exporting fresh fruits and vegetables to China which have been scarce due to climate change.

"China and Tanzania have been friends for a long time and we as Tanzanians bank on the Chinese people as long time brothers and sisters," he declared.

In his remarks, Chinese ambassador to Tanzania Wang Ke said the embassy will always work to facilitate business links between the two countries.

The delegation consisted of multinational companies ranging from manufacturing, technology to construction.

Dr Mengi has in recent days announced an IPP list of industries to be built in the country as part of the industrialization drive.

The first is the pharmaceutical industry which is a joint venture between Dr Mengi and Indian physician Dr Nagesh Bhandari, worth 55bn/- and will be finalised in a period of 18 months.

The facility will be located at Kerege area in Bagamoyo, Coast region.

It is expected that the factory will manufacture various kinds of medicine including Intravenous fluids, Dextrose, Ringer Lactate, Sodium Chloride, Normal Saline and IV kits for kidney dialysis among others.

The IPP Executive Chairman later announced to have ventured with a Dubai based electronic manufacturing company Touchmate to start producing cellphones and electronic accessories in near future.

In the agreement, the company will invest 11.5 billion/- ($5 million) to manufacture smart phones and other electronic equipments like computers, ipads, Bluetooth music speakers, headphones, earphones and various other appliances.

The tablets to be manufactured will be mainly for use by Tanzanian students, especially those studying in rural areas where electricity is insufficient. The solar power tablets will be installed with e-books as per Tanzanian primary and secondary school curricular, he explained.

He said the e-books will partly address the shortage of textbooks and enable students to cope with current science and technology developments.

Recently he signed a memorandum of understanding for the construction of a car assembly plant with a Korean firm. The plant will be located at Kurasini, on the outskirts of the city business centre.
 
The fact that Uganda wenyewe waligundua 6 billion barrels za oil tangu 2005 na Hadi sasa hakuna lolote la maana limefanyika..... Hio inatosha kukujulisha kua Jamaa watachukua milele kumaliza mradi... Alafu sasa uongezee na Tz ....... Itabidi tungoje 2035
