Zitto Kabwe: Whose Interest are You Serving in Tussle between Tanzania government - Acacia Plc in Barrick Takeover?

[yamindinda]

I HAVE been following up the tussle between the Government of Tanzania and Acacia Plc ever since it began more than two years ago and I am fascinated by the emerging African patriotism Tanzanians now have.

I am proud, whenever an African country takes the big boys by the horns to wrench a fair deal from the onerous arrangements, which the foreign multinationals managed to extract from our governments, whether coercively, deceitfully or corruptly.

Undeniably, in this effort, Tanzania is admirably the leading light to other African countries. Kudos Tanzania in this move!.
Recently I have been reading communications from one Mr Zitto Kabwe, who is a Tanzanian Member of Parliament (MP).

I am informed that he is a vocal opposition MP who devotes his time, among other areas mostly in the mining sector reforms, but what I see is that his campaign is to derail efforts being initiated by Barrick to takeover Acacia Plc, which meet the pre-conditions set by the Tanzania government.

As a keen follower of the developments in Tanzania, I have come to understand that conclusion of the negotiations came to a standstill, after the Government of Tanzania demanded that unless Barrick Gold Corporation (BGC) manages to takeover and delist Acacia Plc, there would be no agreement concluded.

Here the government made us very proud. The clear message is that Acacia be dismantled to pave way for a new company jointly owned by Barrick Gold Company (BGC) and the Government of Tanzania and this is surely laudable.
The structuring of the envisaged set up seems to be that BGC will jointly, with the Government, own and manage the gold mining companies, which were previously under the management of Acacia Plc.

It means that, if there would be any special treatment or incentives, they would be granted to the jointly owned company. The joint venture company needs to be assured of a takeoff that is free of disabling compliances and this makes it clear in business sense.

What is important is to see the kind of safeguards the government will have in place and all of us are keen and want to see the agreements and the terms.

It is interesting that Honourable Zitto is launching a scathing attack with conclusions that his government has already concluded the agree-ments with BGC.

In arrangements of this kind, there must be several agreements and all these need to be seen in order to understand how the government has progressed.

It is interesting to note that Honourable Zitto is attacking tax incentives purportedly granted to BGC and my understanding is that tax incentives can only be granted under Government Notice(s) and these cannot be made without having any agreements in place, for his information now.

If the government has clearly expressed the position, there must be a Joint Venture Company (JVC) established to manage the gold mining assets, who then should be the guarantor of the incentives or waivers? Is it BGC or the joint venture company (JVC)?

For example, how can BGC be a guarantor of waiver from listing? He should know that BGC is not registered in Tanzania and it is only the JVC that can be granted such a waiver, if at all.

What is intriguing me is not what Honourable Zitto is saying, but the timing of his attack(s). Negotiations are discreet and employ many tools.

While on the one hand, the negotiations between the BGC and the government of Tanzania have stalled in order to give room for the former to comply with the latter requirement, on the other hand, BGC is facing hard negotiations with Acacia Plc and the minority shareholders.

The negotiations have reached a very delicate point, which may unhinge if things are not understood in their correct context. One important issue is the acceptability of the new arrangement by the ordinary Tanzanians.

This is critical if the minority shareholders are to accept the exchange of their shares for BGC’s shares in the envisaged share buy-out arrangement.

Is Honourable Zitto praying for the disruption and closure of the Acacia takeover by sending fears that at all is not well and the troubles of Acacia will befall the new arrangement?

He is deliberately reading things out of their correct contexts. The question is why? Is it true that Honourable Zitto does not know that no agreement has been signed yet?

Is it true that Honourable Zitto is not aware of the delicate issues that hung upon the Barrick – Acacia negotiations? Why is it that Honourable Zitto, an MP can not countercheck his facts with the authorities?

As a keen follower of what is unfolding, I am aware that the Government Negotiation Team has not yet submitted its proposals to the State for consideration and decision.

Would Honourable Zitto have not been made aware of this fact, if he had asked? Apparently this is an open secret after the government had made it clear through the official spokesperson that come rain come sun, there would be no deal if Acacia is in any manner whatsoever involved. Is Honourable Zitto not aware that Acacia Plc is not yet delisted and thus no deal is possible with the government?

My position and question to Honourable Zitto is that, if your aim is to derail the finalization of the Acacia takeover by BGC, whose interests are you serving?

Zito kabwe is an eye opener after the govt trying to hide the truth

 

[SYLLOGIST!]

Attacking Zitto is an an attack to all Tanzanians who are tired of the status quo.

The status quo must be questioned by any citizen of Tanzania including Zitto Kabwe.

Me, a Tanzanian, also questions this "dongo la mchanga" it is my constitution and civic right.

Now, instead of scoring cheap political headlines, I suggest you ask an ordinary Tanzanian with knowledge about this agreement and see.

A Tanzanian laymen do not need an interpret of plain english from the agreement.

 

[Nguruvi3]

Mkuu yamindinda , sina shaka utanielewa kwa kiswahili kama wengi watakavyonielewa

1. Zitto kama Mbunge na Raia wa Tanzania ana haki za kikatiba na kiraia kutoa maoni yake
Si lazima maoni yake yawe sahihi au makosa, muhimu ni uwezo wa kutoa maoni hayo

2. Zitto anaweza kuwa ana ''serve interest'' ambazo umeuliza ''whose interest are you serving''
Hatuna jibu na jibu lolote inaweza kuwa sahihi au la. Jibu langu, ana serve interest za Watanzania

3. Unasema Zitto anaongea sana Bungeni. Ni kweli, na ndiye Mbunge aliyewafungua Watanzania macho kuanzia Buzwagi n.k. Haya yanayoendelea ni mwendelezo wa kazi zake

4. Kwanini hoja za Zitto hazijibiwi kwa hoja bali 'kumshambulia kwa personality''?

5. Taifa la watu million 5 likiwa na mawazo ya aina moja, Taifa hilo ni mfu
Hata huko kwa akina Acacia na Barrick wanalumbana, kuna kipi kigeni hapa?

Tatizo linaloonekana kwa Zitto ni kuwaeleza Watanzania ukweli.

Hilo linawachoma watu wanaotaka Tanzania iimbe nyimbo na mapambio kwa mtindo wanaoutaka na nyimbo wanazotaka

Mfano rahisi ni hili la Kinana na Makamba. Hawa ni victims wa attack za Musiba

Leo Watanzania wanaaminishwa hawa ni watu wabaya sana na kila matusi na majina
Wanaimbishwa wimbo unaotakiwa, hawatakiwi kuhoji kuhusu tuhuma na mtuhumu

Zitto ajibiwe kwa hoja

 

[SYLLOGIST!]

I do not remember if I have changed my position... on this matter, i.e I have in the past, vehemently oppose any negotiation with ACCACIA. My stand is Pack and Go. ACCACIA, BARRIC,SHANTA and whatever fancy name thee may have.

Tanzania can do this and MUST.
We shall hire 10,000 individuals Tanzanians who is ready for hard work and big rewards with a three months contract for each, then you BARRIC and the forementioned can come and buy from us...We asaure you best quality gold like the one from "Singida"

The Government shall provide security(just as they gave you) to Tanzanians
JKT and TPDF shall provide engineers as well as security until some form of professionalism is established at these pits whilst building capacity to innovate and build our own smelters..WE HAVE GAS FOR AFRICAS sake
ati wachimbe mpaka tuwe na uwezo! Matusi gani hayo?

Sasa njooni nyie mnaodai tunahitaji mamilionea uchwara kutoka nje wakati tunaweza kuwa na mamilionea takriban 20,000 kwa mwaka.

Call it socialism, I dont care.

 

[SYLLOGIST!]

GET RID OF BARRIC= NO TUSSLE

And by the way, The government of Tanzania is of the People of Tanzania and not those who represent us, We Tanzanians put them there and therefore ...
any "TUSSLE"- my brethren might read this as Tusi haha - by any literal sense with The governement of Tanzania is A tussle(tusi) to the People of Tanzania.


Aluta Continua

Is it wrong or against the law for Tanzanians to serve the Interests of Accicia,Barrick,Shell,Dangote etc?

Mkuu Nguruvi
kwanza naunga mkono hoja, Zitto ni mzalendo wa kweli, hatuna mashaka na uzalendo wake kwa taifa lake, na amefanya kazi kubwa sana ya kutufungua macho katika mambo mengi ikiwemo sekta ya madini.

Naunga mkono Zitto kuwaeleza Watanzania ukweli, ila katika kuueleza ukweli huu, ukweli huo uwe ukweli halisi na sio upotoshaji.

Kila mtu yuko huru kuwa na mtazamo wake kuhusu jambo lolote, katika haya makubaliano ya serikali yetu na Barrick, Zitto ame take sides, kwanza kwa kupotosha kuwa mkataba huu umeisha sainiwa, kitu ambacho sii kweli, hii ni draft tuu. Pili Zitto ameamua kuangazia only the dark sides of this issue, kuwa mkweli ni pamoja na kukubali both sides, the bright side and the dark side. Mkataba una mazuri mengi kuliko mabaya compared to mikataba iliyopo.

Tanzanian interest. We have been robbed by Barrick. Shall we discuss Annex 4 of the framework agreement between Tanzanian govt and Barrick Gold Corp? I am ready for that debate

P.

Thanks Pasco. I repeat the Framework Agreement has been INITIALED by our government and Barrick. IT IS AN AGREEMENT. Usipake mafuta kaka. Ni makubaliano hayo. Kama sio wayakatae kwa kutoka public na kusema.

Pili Pasco nionyeshe the positive side of that framework agreement. I can show you with data the dark side of the 3 years of Makanikia

 

[Zitto]

Miaka 3 ya Zama za Makanikia tumepoteza

1. Fedha za kigeni $200M
2. Mapato ya Kodi TZS 430B

Takwimu kutoka Taarifa ya Hali ya Uchumi wa Taifa 2018 iliyotolewa na Wizara ya Fedha mwezi Juni 2019 zinaonyesha

• mwaka 2016 Tanzania iliuza nje dhahabu iliyoingiza USD 1.8 bilioni
• Mwaka wa Makanikia 2017 mauzo nje yalishuka mpaka USD 1.6 bilioni na;
• Mwaka 2018, mwaka ambao athari ya Makanikia ilikuwa mwaka mzima mauzo nje yalikuwa USD 1.4 bilioni

Kati ya mwaka 2017-2018 Mauzo nje ya dhahabu yalishuka kwa jumla ya $200M sawa na 11%.

Katika kipindi hicho uzalishaji wa dhahabu ulishuka kutoka tani 43 za dhahabu mwaka 2015 mpaka tani 39 mwaka 2018. Uzalishaji wa mwaka 2018 ulikuwa sawa na uzalishaji wa mwaka 2010.

Mapato ya Serikali kutoka sekta ya Madini yameshuka katika kipindi cha Makanikia. Kwa mujibu wa Kitabu cha Mapato ya Serikali kwa Wabunge ( Revenues Book Vol. 1 ).

• mwaka 2016/17 makusanyo ya mirahaba yalikuwa TZS 341 bilioni
• Mwaka 2017/18 makusanyo ya mirahaba yalikuwa TZS 230 bilioni
• Mwaka 2018/19 makusanyo yalikuwa TZS 220 bilioni.

Serikali imekadiria kukusanya TZS 350 bilioni mwaka 2019/2020.

Kwa mujibu wa Dkt. Genuine Martin kwenye mada yake kwa Policy Forum Breakfast Debate Julai, 2019 Mapato yote ya sekta ya Madini yameshuka kwa 32% katika zama za Makanikia.

• mwaka 2016 Mapato yalikuwa TZS 1.3 trilioni
• Mwaka 2018 Mapato yalikuwa TZS 867 bilioni.

Katika Miaka 2 Mapato ya Serikali kutoka sekta ya Madini yameshuka kwa TZS 430 bilioni.

Tunapata nini kutoka Barrick Gold baada ya sakata la Makanikia?

Mapato ambayo Serikali ya Magufuli imepoteza kwenye sekta ya Madini kati ya mwaka 2017 - 2019 ni makubwa zaidi ya malipo* ambayo Serikali inasema tutalipwa na Barrick Gold Corporation ili kumaliza mgogoro baina ya Kampuni ya Acacia na Serikali.

Tumeona hapo juu kuwa tumepoteza Mapato ya Fedha za kigeni $200M na Mapato ya Serikali kushuka kwa TZS 430 bilioni. Kutoka Barrick tunatarajiwa kupata $300M ambazo chache kulinganisha na kiasi tulichopeteza.

* Malipo yenyewe hayo ya $300M kwanza yatalipwa kwa miaka 7, pili yana masharti ya wao kulipwa kwanza Fedha zao za VAT ( $240M ), na tatu watasamehewa Kodi ya Capital Gains Tax ya mauzo ya hisa za Acacia kwa Barrick Gold ($85.6M). Hatimaye Tanzania ndio itakuwa imeilipa Barrick $25M ( Net of payments and receipts to and from Barrick Gold ).

Kwa hiyo Tanzania imepoteza Mapato iliyokuwa yakusanywe kama mgogoro usingekuwepo [ $200M exports revenues and $170M tax revenues ] na imeishia kuilipa Barrick badala ya yenyewe kulipwa.

Tumepata hasara kubwa sana kutokana na maamuzi yetu wenyewe, maamuzi ambayo hayakuzingatia maslahi ya nchi yetu. Tunapaswa kuwawajibisha waliotupa hasara hiyo.

Pasco kuna upotoshaji hapo?

Kabisa. Barrick wameweka wazi masharti
