Kagoda: Ni Rostam

[BAK]

POINT BLANK: Rostam, will you address Kagoda please?

Honourable Rostam Aziz, MP,
Salaams, ​

FOR long I've been reading much stuff about you. Forgive me for writing this epistle purposely and specifically addressed to you.

When you faced the media, many thought you would come up with something reasonably convincing and new with regards to being named among five sharks as far as sabotaging our country is concerned. But nay!

Let me humbly admit, I heard Reginald Mengi''s damning allegations that you're one of the most notorious economic sharks the country has ever seen, thanks to being behind almost many stinking wheel deals. Why didn't you address this when you faced the media? Do you think calling Mengi a whale will make his denting allegations do away?

I, too, heard your ballyhoos and hoo-has regarding these allegations. Can I ask you a few questions if you don�t mind? Why do you want to jump a smoking gun with regards to the allegations fired by Dr Harrison Mwakyembe, MP that you are vampiric Kagoda, to begin with?

I understand sir. When Mengi named you, you said you�d never take it with him given the fact that he is as old as your father. Well, now that you surfaced with such much damning allegations that Mengi said are devoid of any convincing truth. Does it mean Mengi has ceased to be of your father's age?

Secondly, you said Mengi's criminality is to loan money from the late NBC. Perfect. �Is loaning a crime to deserve calling Mengi a whale really? Was the issue whether Mengi is a whale or whatever; or you being corrupt and behind Kagoda fake company that stole money from BoT (EPA)?

Also before I forget, what have you to say with regards to what one of the former TANESCO bosses referred to as PM�s partner in Richmond scandal that showed Edward Lowassa the door. Do you remember? Do you remember Richmond's address was symmetrical to that of your Caspian company?

Let me remind you. Facing the parliamentary select committee, this person said the �partner� behind Richmond theft is you. And given that you know the owner of Dowans which is the sister to Richmond as Speaker Samuel Sitta once put it, how connected is he to you? Will you please shed light on this?

Another question sir, you admitted to have loaned the money that you're still paying. What�s wrong with Mengi doing the same? Is this an indirect admission-cum-implication that Mengi does the same as you do? So he has no moral authority to accuse you? Can you tell us the banks or government institutions from which you loaned the said money, when and how much.

More on Kagoda theft and Mengi�s debts, don't you see that the debtor is entitled to obtaining debts but not the thief as in the case of Kagoda and Richmond?

Another question sir, why did you dance around instead of shedding light on Kagoda? What have you to say regarding the allegations by Dr Mwakyembe? Let me remind you.

Dr Mwakyembe said you're using your media empire gotten by the money stolen from BoT by using Kagoda to tarnish the image of others, specifically those who point fingers at you just like Mengi and Dr Mwakyembe. Is it true or false?

I know, you brought Anche Mwedu Company to the agora. Did you intend to show that whilst Mengi says you're Kagoda, he too is unknown of Anche Mwedu?

Let me emphasize hither. Will Mengi's wrongs cleanse yours really? Can Anche Mwedu take away Kagoda?
If you'd be serious and sincere, you firstly have to dwell on cleansing yourself instead of using tarnishing tactics as means of doing so. True, what you�re doing is ''he says I am this, he, too, is that�''.

Otherwise it does not make sense. For this is not what people want to know. They would like to see you putting records straight as far as Mengi's allegations are concerned by putting your house in order. The ball is still in your court, sir.

Another denting thing, if you knew Mengi swindled the late NBC so as to ultimately fell it, why didn't you divulge this before so as to wait till he named you? Isn't this vengeance?

I should also remind you sir. Your defenders-cum-partners averred that Mengi erred (in their eyes) to have named holy names. But again, you're doing exactly the same! I'm anxiously waiting to hear what Sophia Simba and George Mkuchika will say. Did you consult them before thundering and stealing thunder?

Sir, you remind me of childish tricks I used to employ when I was cornered. When I was a kid, I used to steal sugar. Whenever I was caught or suspected, I would jump on witch-hunting for the one that reported me. After knowing who it was, I would tell mom, ''He, too, has stolen sugar. Mom then used to tell me: �Why haven't you reported him or her before?'' I used to end up in shame and being punished.

You know what? When cornered, the vulture cries wolf.
Sir, allow me to wrap up hither as I avoid making a missive. I know. You've a lot to do especially at this pressing time of saving the face. But importantly, please say something about Kagoda and who you are to it.

Mind you, our people are not stupid. They cannot subscribe to every nonsense and lies. I thus strongly recommend that you hit on the point.

I dont understand even this guy, Tuhuma hazijibiwi kwa tuhuma. That conference was to respond for allegations au kutoa madi mapya. Yaani wewe bwana RA sijui hawa wata wala wanogopa hiyo rangi yako??????

Namkumbuka Nyerere na Sokoine.................... Heshima mbele Slaa, Mwakyembe, Kilango, Mpendazoe et al.

 

[ByaseL]

Ahsante Bwana Nkwazi kwa makala hii. Kuna jambo lingine ambalo Rostam alilisema Jumapili ambalo halina mashiko. Anamtaka Mengi akanushe kama hana akaunti nje ya nchi. Swala sio kuwa na akaunti au la. Issue ni je hiyo akaunti ina pesa halali na inajulikana na BoT kulingana na sheria za nchi? Mengi anachosema ni kwamba hawa mafisadi papa pesa zao wamezitoa hapa nchini na kuwekeza nje ya nchi kama Dubai, Afrika kusini, etc. Pamoja na kutuibia pesa zetu wamezihamishia nje ambako hazinufaishi uchumi wa nchi yetu. Hivi kwa nini Rostam anashindwa kuelewa hoja za Mengi ambazo ni wazi kabisa?

 

[Kang]

This is B.S! Rostam answered everything in that press conference and even gave journalists the chance to ask any questions. he said he is not involved in Kagoda, he said why he decided to respond to Mengi e.t.c

This does not mean that he is necessarily clean, but he has gone above and beyond to address these issues. After all aren't we all innocent until proven otherwise?

Why then did Mengi not afford us the same courtesy and address the media himself?
Was he perhaps afraid or unable to answer the questions that would be thrown at him?
Instead he sends his lawyers, who once again fail to offer us anything substantial, resorting to the same blah blah that we have heard a million times.

Wana JF haya mambo ya kushabikia nani kajibu nini na nani kasema nini tuya ache. Kwa kuwa hakuna kipya kilichosemwa na Mengi wala na Rostam, sasa kama JF ilivyo "The Home of Great Thinkers" inatakiwa tujadili zaidi kuhusu mbinu za kutumia ili kuiokoa nchi yetu kwenye hili JANGA kubwa na zito la UFISADI.

Only that mkuu respect.

[Offish]

Rostam answered everything in that press conference and even gave journalists the chance to ask any questions.

. Granting journalists an opportunity to ask questions was one thing and responding to the questions exhaustively was another thing. He tried to, but he failed to answer the questions so to speak.

The question were not seeking 'Yes' or 'No' answers, but rather sought an exhaustive explanation. He admitted to have known Dowans owners and that knowing them was not an offense. One wonders as to why he couldn't clarify on his knowledge of the owners and why he could not reveal them then if he really is innocent and patriotic!

We all know this cat is evil. The question is, how do we skin it?

 

[Fundi Mchundo]

I seriously hope, Mkuu Bubu Atakaye Kusema, haukuandika the above mentioned article!

Rostam ameishasema na wote tumemuona kwenye luninga kuwa hahusiki na Kagoda. Akatajiwa mtu ambae inadaiwa kwamba alisema kwenye affidavit kuwa alikutana na Rostam kuandikisha Kagoda, Rostam categorically akasema hata huyo mtu hamjui! Sasa mnataka aseme nini? Badala ya kupotezeana wakati, mwenye ushahidi wa kuhusika kwa Rostam aupeleke kunakohusika au kama hata huko hakuamini aumwage humu. Hata Mengi hajasema wazi wazi kuwa Rostam ni Kagoda mbali ya kumtumia wakili wake kuuliza maswali ya kitoto! Badala ya kumuuliza kama alikutana na jamaa wa benki kwa nini asimuambie kuwa alikutana na watu benki kupanga ufisadi? Wakati umefika wa kwenda zaidi ya speculations na kuongelea substance. Ni upuuzi kukaa kutegemea kuwa mtu ambae mnashutumu kuwa mhalifu ataamka na kukiri uovu wake. Lini Rostam amewaambia ameokoka? Kinachotakiwa ni mtu mwenye ushahidi, mwenye uchungu na nchi hii, kusimama na kuziweka wazi allegations hizo na ushahidi wake. Bahati mbaya, Mengi si mtu huyo!

Amandla.......

 

[Mugerezi]

Ukweli ni kwamba RA hakujibu maswali kwani kama alivyokuja na vithibitisho kuwa Mengi ni Nyangumi wa Ufisadi alitakiwa na yeye kuleta na kuonyesha Afritainer inausikaje na Kagoda, Caspian inahusikaje na Richmond!! Maana kila kitu kiko na wazi na iliisha onyeshwa jinsi simu/emails za caspain ndiyo zilikuwa zinatumika mbona hakueleza?

Au mtu akisema kuwa tuhumu ni upuuzi na waliomtuhumu ni mafisadi, waongo, wana chuki basi amejibu tuhumu? Tuhumu ni pamoja kuprovide evidence ili ujisafishe. Account alitaiwa asema kama anazo nje naje ni za hela halali?

Otherwise tuwe tunadiscuss issues not porojo. Mnamtetea bure kama kweli yeye Fisi Hadi kwanini asiende mahakani? Ili kuondoa mzizi wa fitna!! WE NEED CONSTRUCTIVE THINGS/IDEAS SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD.

 

[Mugerezi]

Mnataka mtu mzima (RA) avue nguo hadharani?

Ikiwezekana!!! Wabongo wangapi wameteseka kwa ajiri yake. Hela alizoiba na wenzake si zingelipa wazee wa EA, Shule si zingejengwa, Mahospitali, Barabara zingejengwa. Sasa si ni kama amevua nguo watz so hata yeye ikiwezekana avue nguo tuone usafi wake.

 

[Fundi Mchundo]

Ukweli ni kwamba RA hakujibu maswali kwani kama alivyokuja na vithibitisho kuwa Mengi ni Nyangumi wa Ufisadi alitakiwa na yeye kuleta na kuonyesha Afritainer inausikaje na Kagoda, Caspian inahusikaje na Richmond!! Maana kila kitu kiko na wazi na iliisha onyeshwa jinsi simu/emails za caspain ndiyo zilikuwa zinatumika mbona hakueleza?

Au mtu akisema kuwa tuhumu ni upuuzi na waliomtuhumu ni mafisadi, waongo, wana chuki basi amejibu tuhumu? Tuhumu ni pamoja kuprovide evidence ili ujisafishe. Account alitaiwa asema kama anazo nje naje ni za hela halali?

Otherwise tuwe tunadiscuss issues not porojo. Mnamtetea bure kama kweli yeye Fisi Hadi kwanini asiende mahakani? Ili kuondoa mzizi wa fitna!! WE NEED CONSTRUCTIVE THINGS/IDEAS SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD.

Hayo maswali unayosema angeyajibu aliulizwa na nani? Mkutano ule ulikuwa ni kujibu tuhuma za Mengi kumuita yeye fisadi papa. Sasa ulitaka aamke pale bila kuulizwa na kuanza kusema Kagoda sio yangu, Afritainers sio yangu n.k.? Si nyinyi nyinyi ambao mngesema kuwa, " mnaona sasa, anajitetea bila ya kuulizwa!"

Kama alivyouliza Rostam mwenyewe, " aende mahakamani kufanya nini?" Mnataka aende mahakamani kujishtaki kuwa yeye si fisadi? Hamuoni tuu kuwa jambo hilo haliwezekani? Alichofanya yeye ni kusema kuwa yeyote mwenye ushahidi wa ufisadi wake aende mahakamani kumshtaki! Kigugumizi sasa cha nini? Swali hilo badala ya kumuuliza Rostam, mngemuuliza Mengi. Kuwa kama ana ushahidi wa ufisadi papa wa Rostam kwa nini asimpeleke mahakamani badala ya kurudia rudia shutuma za kila siku? Atakaefanya hivyo, ndiye atakuwa shujaa na mwenye uchungu kweli na watu wa nchi hii. Tusipende mno mteremko. Hatutawang'oa hao tunaowaita mafisadi papa kwa kuita press conference na kutoa general accussations. Tutoe specific allegations na kuzi-substantiate ndiyo kazi itaanza. Na si vinginevyo.

Amandla...

Halafu ni nyinyi hao hao mnaodai kuwa mtu asipolipa deni halali katika muda unaotakiwa, no sweat! Hizo hospitali n.k. zinangoja pesa za Rostam na wenzake tu? Mnakataa kujiuliza nini hatma ya wafanyakazi lukuki waliokosa ajira baada ya Mengi kufuta hayo makampuni yake. Badala yake, mnasema; no sweat, ndiyo biashara ilivyo!

Hamjionei huruma wenyewe halafu mnategemea mwingine awaonee huruma?

Alishasema hawezi kwenda mahakamani akasema "naomba mnisafishe!"

Kama kuna ushahidi wowote basi ashitakiwe au angalau Mengi apeleke data kwa vyombo husika, mpaka leo sijaona hilo, so Mengi ni porojo tu hakuna lolote.
Zaidi ya hapo ameonyesha ni mtu wa kukurupuka, yaani unajaribu kumwangusha mtu ambaye inasemekana ndo mwenye nguvu nyingi TZ halafu unakuja na story za kijiweni?
Kama hizi ndo jitihada za kuumaliza ufisadi basi tumeliwa!

I think that is a matter of personal opinion, I felt that he answered the questions fully and completely. Plus the journalists should have followed up if they felt the answer was insufficient.
There is no crime in knowing anyone, people are grasping at straws here, what if he said he met him once at a function? Would that be a satisfactory answer? The problem is we know nothing substantial and therefore can not corner him.

 

[Hongasuta]

Kwa taarifa yenu: Ushahidi wote wa kumbana Rostam kwenye Kagoda umekamilika ndio maana Mengi anasisitiza huyu fisadi aende mahakamani haraka. Muda wa kinara huyu wa ufisadi kuanikwa umewadia. Wabongo sio wajinga kama Rostam anavyotaka kuamini.

 

[Ukweliii]

Kang, na mnaomtetea RA. Nadhani kumbukumbu zenu ni fupi kuhusu sakata la Richmond na kuhusishwa kwa RA. Tafadhali jikumbusheni. Nadhani ilikuwa nafasi nzuri sana kwa RA kutumia mkutano wake na waandishi wa habari kujibu tena na kwa ufasaha zaidi hoja nzito za Kamati ya Mwakyembe. Kwa vielelezo. Hakufanya hivyo unadahni hajui nini alitakiwa kufanya... Anajua, ila amechagua kutokuwa muwazi. Kamati ya bunge haikuwa na madaraka yeyote ya kumuwajiisha na serikali haikotayari... Maranyingi sana pamekuwa na maombi ya kujitokeza wenye ushahidi. ..maana yake upo mahali...
