Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

[Rutashubanyuma]

The first two charges are diametrically opposite to one another and both cannot stand together!

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

I think there is a big merit on this , we need long term plans, and not knee jerking reactions, we have rattled the mining sector, but we still depend on them for economic growth, we have put IPTL on notice, but we don't have enough electricity, we have enacted a law for all teleco's companies to list on DSE, but we are still stifling local economy, how are we going to go forward.

Thanks, will revisit your thoughts in much great detail sometimes in the future

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Either the conspiracy was external only or the conspiracy was both external and internal

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Good news for drafters of this charge sheet....you can still ask the court to amend it

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

My suggestion will be reconcile the two first charges to ensure conformity to them either the conspiracy is both external and internal or external only or internal only but not tolerating such glaring anomalies

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Charge two alleges the conspiracy involved unnamed public officials who are not even charged

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Why are these public officials not disclosed and how can the accused defend themselves against cryptic criminal charges

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

May I now state confidently the rights of the accused to a fair hearing have been irretrievably taken away on two legal limbs

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

First, failure of charge sheet to disclose the conspirators

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Secondly, failure to charge the undisclosed conspirators amount to discrimination prosecution

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Discrimination of any form is unconstitutional

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The charge is ultra vires by "Misjoinder of the accused"

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

This ground is sufficient to throw out this case

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Intriguingly, the charge two alleges institutional collusion to commit the theft of public funds

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

BOT, STANBIC & MKOMBOZI BANK have been mentioned as collaborators but not a single individual is charged!

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Shockingly, charge five and six are silent on which institution was purloined!

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Presumably, the drafters must be out of their minds to consider sustaining a criminal conviction upon ghost victim or victims

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The amounts of money mentioned in charge five and six are spurious

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

There is in place a High Court decision which ordered Tanesco and IPTL to form an impartial committee to sort out payment obligations Tanesco owed IPTL

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

So it was wrong for charge number six to allege an disclosed legal person suffered colossal losses to that tune for a simple reason part if not the whole money in the escrow account belonged to IPTL
