In brief, ATCL failed because of some top government officials who failed to advice the government effectively; these include Basil Mramba as Finance Minister, Gray Mgonja, William Kussila and Andrew Chenge.
Mufuruki didnt draft any partnership agreement between ATC AND SAA. He was only appointed after the two comapnies have merged. Why was he appointed? It was agreed that the Board's chairman should be a person trusted by both parties--ATC and SAA.
It is good to remember that the agreement was drafted by IMMA ADVOCATE, before Chenge as AG approved it under conditions that some top guys get their shares.
Mufuruki was approved by SAA because of positive vetting from Ami Mpungwe who was our ambassador there while in Tanzania his name was among other things recommended by Governor Ballali, Mramba and Ruhinda.
Anyway, nawahi Malawi, when I am back sasa nitawapa upande mwingine wa huyu jamaa nilikuwa tu naclear swala la ATCL
