Serikali ya Uingereza jana imeirudishia Tanzania kiasi cha zaidi ya shilingi bilioni 14 kama malipo ya faini kutoka kwa Benki ya Standard kutokana na kushindwa kuzuia rushwa.

Hayo yamesemwa na Balozi wa Uingereza nchini, Dianna Melrose wakati wa maongezi maalum kuhusu mafanikio ya Mkutano wa kwanza wa kimataifa kuhusu kupambana na rushwa ambao ulishirikisha Viongozi kutoka mataifa tofauti ambao walikutana mjini London.

Malipo ya faini ya kiasi cha dola milioni 6 yalilipwa kutokana na hukumu iliyotolewa na Mahakama Kuu nchini Uingereza mwezi wa Novemba mwaka jana kuhusu rushwa kwenye hati fungati.

Fedha hizo zinarejeshwa kwa Tanzania baada ya benki ya Stanbic Tanzania kupitia kampuni ya EGMA kuongeza asilimia moja ya riba baada ya serikali kukopa dola milioni mia sita kwa ajili ya kugharamia miradi mbalimbali ya maendeleo mwaka 2012 na 2013 na kutakiwa kuzilipa katika kipindi cha miaka 7 kwa riba ya aslimia 1 nukta nne na badala yake ikatozwa asilimia mbili nukta nne ya mkopo wote hali iliyotokana na benki kuu kubaini baadhi ya matatizo.

Kutokana na kugundulika kwa rushwa hiyo, Taasisi ya Kuzuia na Kupambana na Rushwa (TAKUKURU) ilifanya uchunguzi na tarehe 1/4/2016 iliwafikisha Mahakamani aliyekuwa Kamishna Mkuu wa Mamlaka ya Mapato Tanzania na Mwenyekiti wa ‘Enterprise Growth Market Advisors Ltd’ (EGMA), Bw. Harry Msamire Kitilya; aliyekuwa Mkuu wa Idara ya Ushirikiano na Uwekezaji wa Benki ya Stanbic Tanzania, Shose Mori Sinare pamoja na Aliyekuwa Mwanasheria wa Benki ya Stanbic Tanzania, Bw. Sioi Graham Solomon.

Washtakiwa wote walishtakiwa kwa makosa ya:- Kula njama na kujipatia kwa udanganyifu kinyume na kifungu Na. 384 cha Kanuni ya Adhabu (Cap 16 R.E. 2002) ; Kughushi kinyume na kifungu Na. 333,335 (a) na 337 cha Kanuni ya Adhabu (Cap 16 R.E 2002) ; Utakatishaji wa fedha haramu kinyume na kifungu Na. 12 (a) 13 (a) cha Sheria ya ya Utakatishaji fedha Na. 12 ya Mwaka 2006 ‘Anti- Money Laundering Act’.

Serikali ya Uingereza imeisifu serikali ya awamu ya Tano kwa kupambana na rushwa huku ikisisitiza kuhusu furaha yake kwa Rais Magufuli kutuma Wawakilishi walioongozwa na Waziri Mkuu, Majaliwa kwenye Mkutano huo wa kimataifa kuhusu kupambana na rushwa.

‘’Tumefarijika na dhamira ya serikali na pia hotuba ya Waziri Mkuu, Majaliwa iliyoonyesha hatua zinazochukuliwa katika kupambana na rushwa. Alisisitiza kuwa utashi wa kisiasa ni muhimu sana vikiunganishwa kwa sheria imara na hatua imara za kiutawala’’ alisema Ms Melrose.
THE United Kingdom (UK) has transferred to Tanzania 7 million US dollars (more than 14bn/-) fine that Standard Bank paid as a result of its failure to prevent bribery, British High Commissioner to Tanzania Dianna Melrose confirmed yesterday.

The compensation was paid following the ruling by the British High Court in London in November last year over 6 million USD (about 12bn/-) bribery scandal in a treasury bond deal sealed on March 8, 2013 involving the London-based Standard Bank.

The case involved a sovereign note private placement undertaken in 2012-2013 between Stanbic Bank Tanzania Ltd and the UK-based Standard Bank Plc to raise $600 million (1.2 trilion/-) for the Tanzanian government as part of its five-year development plan.

As a result, Tanzania, through the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB), conducted investigations into the scandal, which saw former Tanzania Revenue Commission (TRA) Commissioner General Harry Kitilya and two ex-senior officers at Stanbic Bank Tanzania Limited charged at the Kisutu Resident Magistrate’s Court.

Apart from the former TRA boss, the other accused are former Miss Tanzania and Head of Investment Banking at Stanbic Bank, Shose Sinare, and Sioi Graham Solomon, former Chief Legal Counsel to the bank.

Yesterday, the UK Government applauded the strong anti-corruption drive by the Fifth Phase Tanzania Government, insisting that it was delighted by President John Magufuli’s representation by Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa at the just concluded Anti-Corruption Summit in London.

“The UK is launching an Anti-Corruption Innovation Hub with other countries to encourage collaboration between social innovators, technology experts, data scientists and law enforcement and civil society organisations,’’ said the British High Commissioner in a statement.

Among other issues, the Anti-Corruption Summit agreed the first ever Global Declaration against Corruption, with representatives from over 40 countries stating their commitment to work together to expose, punish and drive out corruption.

“We welcome Tanzania’s country commitments and Prime Minister Majaliwa’s remarks showcasing the government’s actions to tackle corruption.

He stressed that political will is critically important, alongside strong legislative and administrative measures,’’ said Ms Melrose.

According to the prime minister, the forthcoming third phase of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy and Action Plan will focus on involving all stakeholders—schools, civil society, grassroots organisations, the media and private sector in creating an anti-corruption culture.

The British High Commissioner added that UK and Tanzania were close partners working together to tackle corruption, financial and organised crime. A new partnership between Tanzania and the UK’s National Crime Agency was launched at the London summit to share expertise in audit, financial regulation and anti-corruption investigation.

The UK Crown Prosecution Service is assisting work to establish Tanzania’s Special Anti-Corruption Division of the High Court. Mr Majaliwa said in the National Assembly recently that a special Anti-Corruption Court would kick off its operation in July this year.

According to Ms Melrose, the UK Department for International Development supports Tanzania’s institutions of accountability, including the PCCB and the National Audit Office.

She said it also supports grassroots and civil society organisations that assist local communities across the country in taking action to counter corruption, such as demands for bribes by medical staff or those involved in deforestation.

Hii kesi ya kina Kitilya na mkwe wa Edward Lowassa ni litmus test ya TAKUKURU na DPP katika kupambana na kesi zenye makucha ya political movers and shakers wa Tanzania.

Ninafahamu Katiba ya Tanzania 1977 katika Ibara ya 54(5) inalinda kisihojiwe sehemu yoyote kilichojadiliwa katika vikao vya Baraza la Mawaziri lakini ingekuwa ni vizuri tukafahamu yaliyokuwa yanajiri katika vikao kuhusu hili sakata.

Katiba ya Tanzania inasema;
54(5) Suala kama ushauri wowote, na ni ushauri gani, ulitolewa na Baraza la Mawaziri kwa Rais, halitachunguzwa katika mahakama yoyote.

Cha msingi ni kusikia utetezi wa washitakiwa kwa sababu ninaamini kuwa wengine bado wako mitaani lakini wanatakiwa wawe washitakiwa au mashahidi katika kesi hii.

Watu kama Bashir Awale ambaye alikuwa Mkurugenzi wa Stanbic lazima wahusishwe katika kesi hii. Waziri wa fedha wa wakati huo lazima ahusishwe katika kesi hii. Gavana wa BOT na Katibu Mkuu wa Wizara ya fedha wa wakati huo lazima wawepo kwa njia moja au nyingine.

Hawa kina Kitilya ni chambo tu cha kuwanasa samaki ambao ninaamini bado wako majini wanaelea.

Ninaisubiri kwa shauku hii kesi!
