VODACOM SHARES ROW: Chenge back in the frame

Andrew Chenge
THISDAY REPORTER
Dar es Salaam

THE tug-of-war over the intended sale of a 35 per cent stake held by local shareholders in Vodacom Tanzania Limited to foreign investors has taken a new twist following revelations that former Cabinet Minister Andrew Chenge was openly in favour of the controversial proposal.

Well-placed sources in government say the former infrastructure development minister supported plans by local shareholders of the popular telecoms firm to sell their shares to would-be foreign investors, a move fiercely opposed by the industry regulator on the grounds that it would amount to a breach of law.

Even after President Jakaya Kikwete reshuffled the Cabinet in February this year and removed the telecoms sector from the docket of the Ministry of Infrastructure Development, Chenge remained deeply involved in the row by offering advice to the government in favour of the sale, which would have made Vodacom 100 per cent foreign-owned.

Insiders say Chenge advised the new Ministry of Communications, Science and Technology, which now oversees the telecoms sector, that there was no ’’ongoing obligation’’ for local shareholders of Vodacom to retain their 35 per cent stake in the company.

He backed the arguments put forward by the local shareholders suggesting that 35 per cent local ownership was just ’’an eligibility requirement for the issuance of a licence.’’

Chenge, a former long-serving Attorney General, argued forcefully in favour of the local shareholders that it was supposedly well within their rights to sell their stake in Vodacom to foreign investors, even though the Communications (Licensing) Regulations of 2005 clearly state that all telecoms companies in the country shall have at least 35 per cent local ownership.

’’He (Chenge) openly took sides with the local shareholders and argued that prohibiting them from selling their shares to possible foreign investors would amount to denying them their economic freedom,’’ said another government official familiar with the row.

Chenge is understood to have offered such advice directly to the then Minister for Communications, Science and Technology, Dr Shukuru Kawambwa, who has since been transferred to the infrastructure development ministry in the same capacity.

Some 65 per cent of the shares in Vodacom Tanzania Ltd are owned by Vodacom Group (Pty) Limited of South Africa, while the remaining 35 per cent shares are now in the hands of Mirambo Limited, which acquired them from two other local firms - Caspian Construction Limited (19 per cent) and Planetel Communications Limited (16 per cent).

The row over the sale of the local shares has even drawn in the current Attorney General, Johnson Mwanyika, who is understood to have offered his own opinion on the matter to the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA), which has been opposed to the deal on the grounds that it would violate the law that requires 35 per cent local ownership.

Government officials say local shareholders of Vodacom have been applying increasing pressure on the telecoms industry regulator (TCRA) since last year for permission to sell to as yet unnamed foreign investors.

It remains to be seen what the eventual outcome of the tug-of-war would amount to, but our sources say senior government officials ’sympathetic’ to local Vodacom shareholders have been pushing for amendments to the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority Act of 2003 to allow 100 per cent foreign ownership of telecoms firms.

’’We understand that there has been intense lobbying in government circles for urgent amendments to be made to the relevant law and regulations to allow local shareholders of Vodacom to sell their shares to foreign investors,’’ said a source familiar with the controversy.

She added: ’’If such changes to the law are made, it would have serious repercussions in the country because all mobile phone companies and other telecoms firms will become entirely owned by foreigners. This will compromise our national security and reverse the government’s own intentions of economically empowering its (Tanzanian) citizens.’’

Chenge was forced to resign from the Cabinet in April this year following corruption allegations linked to the 70bn/- military radar scandal.

British investigators have been investigating allegations that more than $1m found in Chenge’s offshore account was believed to be linked to the controversial 2002 radar deal between the Tanzanian government and British defence contractor BAE Systems.

VODACOM SHARES ROW:AG issues legal opinion

THISDAY REPORTER
Dar es Salaam

ATTORNEY General Johnson Mwanyika has advised the Ministry of Communications, Science and Technology to propose relevant amendments to legislation governing the country’s telecommunications sector in the wake of the row over the intended sale of a 35 per cent stake held by local shareholders in Vodacom Tanzania Limited to foreign investors.

Mwanyika avoided taking sides in the tug-of-war between Vodacom’s local shareholder, Mirambo Limited, and the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA), and instead suggested that amendments should be made to relevant legislation to resolve the matter.

In a letter addressed to TCRA in May this year, the AG advised the Ministry of Communications, Science and Technology currently headed by Dr Shukuru Kawambwa to initiate a process of amending the existing legislation and regulations.

’’Regarding the question of Vodacom (T) Ltd shareholder, Mirambo Ltd, wanting to use its shares as collateral for a loan from a foreign bank on condition that the shares can be sold to any non-Tanzanian should the company default on the loan, we wouldn’t want to issue an opinion because we are not the appropriate decision-makers on this matter,’’ said Mwanyika in his letter to TCRA, which was also copied to the Ministry of Communications, Science and Technology.

The AG supports the assertion by Vodacom’s local shareholders that both the Tanzania Communications Act of 1993 and the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) Act of 2003, which govern the licensing of telecoms firms and most regulatory matters, are silent on the ’ongoing obligation’ for Vodacom to retain 35 per cent local ownership after receiving a licence to operate in the country.

However, Mwanyika, who is the government’s chief legal advisor, was careful not to make any formal opinion either in favour of the sale of the local shares to foreign investors or otherwise.

Well-placed sources say Vodacom’s shareholders are reportedly seeking a loan of more than $20.5m (approx. 27bn/-) from a South African investment bank, using their shares in the mobile phone company as collateral.

According to the shareholders, the foreign bank has set strict conditions that the 35 per cent stake in Vodacom Tanzania should be available for purchase or ownership by a non-Tanzanian entity, before it issues the loan.

The shareholders maintain that the 35 per cent local ownership clause was merely an ’eligibility requirement’ for acquiring a telecoms licence in Tanzania, which does not prohibit them from selling their stake to foreigners after Vodacom was granted a licence to operate in the country.

If the minority shares in Vodacom are indeed sold to a foreign company, the telecoms company would thus become 100 per cent foreign-owned, since 65 per cent of the shares are already owned by Vodacom Group (Pty) Limited of South Africa.

Industry watchers say TCRA is fiercely opposed to the proposed sale of the minority shares in Vodacom to would-be foreign investors because doing so would violate the Communications (Licensing) Regulations of 2005, which clearly state that all telecoms companies in the country shall have at least 35 per cent local ownership.

While Mwanyika was careful to avoid directly taking sides in the matter, ex-cabinet minister Andrew Chenge was all-out in favour of the controversial proposal by Vodacom’s local shareholders.

The former Attorney General and infrastructure development minister made no secret of his strong support for plans by the shareholders to sell their stake to foreign investors.

Official government records show Chenge advised the Ministry of Communications, Science and Technology, that there was no ’ongoing obligation’ for Vodacom to retain its partial local ownership.

He backed the arguments put forward by the local shareholders suggesting that their minority stake was just a requirement for licensing purposes.

Chenge argued forcefully in favour of the local shareholders that it was supposedly well within their rights to sell their stake in Vodacom to foreign investors, even though the existing regulations clearly state that all telecoms companies in the country shall have at least 35 per cent local ownership.

Before Mirambo Ltd, a locally-registered company, bought the minority stake in Vodacom, local shareholders of the company were listed as Caspian Construction Limited (19 per cent) and Planetel Communications Limited (16 per cent).

Vodacom (Tanzania) Ltd, the largest mobile phone operator in the country with more than 5 million subscribers, was licensed in the year 2000.

Wakati ilipowekwa hii post kuhusu "Chenge amsaidia Rostam kuhamisha mali nje" kuna watu wamshambulia Tina na wengine kuhoji source, sasa imeibuka pole pole ukweli unajulikana, lakini watu sasa wanapata kigugumizi, naona Mkuu Halisi anahangaika hapa kukumbushia watu kuchangia na hakuna anayechangia.

Kwa ufupi ni kwamba, Rostam hana pa kukwepa, hata kama atataka kubebwa na kusaidiwa na mshikaji wake. Watanzania wanamjua, watumishi wa serikali wanamjua, watumishi wa BoT wanamjua, watumishi wa TCRA wanajua, watumishi wa Idara ya Usalama wa Taifa, wanamjua juu chini, na yeye anajijua fika na huko CCM wanamjua kwa undani. Kwa hiyo "Akitema, akimumunya, anacho"....

Tujikumbushe wajemeni, maana mhnnnnnnnnnnn..... Nchi inateketea, watu wanachekelea, AMANI NA UTULIVU

Chenge amsaidia Rostam kuhamishia mali nje Habari za uhakikia kabisa ni kwamba Rostam Aziz ameanza kuhamishia mali zake nje ya nchi, sababu anahofia mambo yanavyokwenda serikalini kwa sasa. Kwa ushahidi tayari ameweka rehani hisa zake zote 35pc za Vodacom Afrika Kusini. Kabla ya kuhamishia hisa zake, alikua amenunua hisa za Planetel za mwenzake Peter Noni na mkewe, naye alifanya hivyo kuhofia mambo yanavyokwenda ofisini kwake BoT. Rostam alichukua hisa zote 35pc za Watanzania kupitia kampuni zake za Caspian na Mirambo. Nimethibitisha kwa macho yangu mwenyewe nikiwa bongo kwamba Chenge akiwa Waziri wa miundombinu alimsaidia kwa nguvu zake zote Rostam kufanikisha mkakati wake huo wa kuhamisha hisa zake nje kwa kisingizio cha kuweka rehani. Kuna watu serikalini walipinga (na wanaendelea kupinga) lakini jamaa aliwazidi kete kwa kusadiwa na Chenge na sasa inaelekea amefanikiwa kwa kiasi. Zaidi nitawaletea maana naharakisha kurejea majuu. Nitamwachia Invisible mambo yote ili siku mwafaka amwage hadharani

Rostam Aziz wants some cash

TANZANIA
Rostam Aziz wants some cash

Some of the regime’s big shots suspect the former CCM
treasurer wants to sell his stake in Vodacom so that
he can have some ready cash to fight the 2010 general
election.


The MP for Igunga and former treasurer of the Chama
cha Mapinduzi (CCM), Rostam Aziz, has become something
of a headache for some of the government party’s
heavyweights. The latter are concerned that he may be
selling off some of his stakes in certain major
companies in order to find the ready cash that he
could use to fund the campaigns of his own political
clique in the general election at the end of 2010.
Rostam Aziz had initially intended to obtain a $20
million loan from a foreign bank in Tanzania, jointly
with Peter Noni, the former director of banking
supervision of the Bank of Tanzania. They would have
used their stakes in Vodacom Tanzania Ltd as security
– Aziz owns 19% via Caspian Construction Ltd and Noni
16% via Planetel Communications Ltd. But this would
not have met with the approval of the Tanzanian
authorities, as it could have led to a foreign bank
owning over 35% of a company listed on the Dar es
Salaam Stock Exchange, which is prohibited in
Tanzanian law. In the meantime, another of Aziz’s
companies, Mirambo Ltd, snapped up Caspian’s 19% and
Planetel’s 16% and so owns 35% of Vodacom. The upshot
is that some CCM members now take a distinctly
suspicious view of Aziz.

In February 2008, a report by an investigating
committee suspected him of being involved in the firm
Dowans Holdings which has a controversial gas-fired 35
MW power station project. This is the same committee
that had pushed Prime Minister Edward Lowassa to
resign. Aziz did not explain himself before
Parliament, but the committee did reveal that certain
executives of the firm Caspian Construction also
worked for Dowans.

the end.
 
Mambo mazito haya; Tanzania kuna watu wanaogopwa sana Rostam ni mmoja wao. Lakini kinachowatisha watu siyo uwezo wowote alio nao juu ya watu bali uwezo wa fedha yake dhidi ya watu. Ingekuwa nchi nyingine angekuwa ameshafanyiwa uchunguzi wa mambo mengi tu. Lakini yote tisa, kumi tusubiri sakata la EPA litakavyochezwa ndio tutathibitisha ni karata gani tumepatiwa.
 
Kumbe hakosei anapotamba kwamba yeye ndiye anayeendesha nchi!!!!

Hii kampeni, inarejea tukio la Kihistoria katika kupigania Uhuru wa Tanganyika, wakati huo Baba wa Taifa, Hayati Julius K. Nyerere, alikuwa kipiga kampeni ya watu wasinywe bia, zinazozalishwa na viwanda vya wakoloni, kwamba, "ukinywa bia unakunywa damu yako." Ilikuwa ni hujuma dhidi ya wakoloni.

Sasa kwa hili la Vodacom, hapa Mkoloni ni nani, na je yupo peke yake, na je huko kwenye mitandao mingine hakuna wenye sifa hizi za kikoloni - yaani kuwanyonya damu watanzania hadi wapauke zaidi ya sasa, ukimchunguza kuku hautamla.

Tukiacha hili mtakwenda kwenye mradi wa kutoa maji Ziwa Viktoria, kwenda Shinyanga ambako tender ya kusambaza mabomba ilikuwa ni huyu mwizi akilipwa shilingi milioni nne kwa kila moja lililokuwa likisafirishwa kutoka Dar es Salaam hadi eneo la Ihelele, Misungwi Mwanza kwenye chanzo cha maji cha mradi huu.

Hapa Bwana Mamvi alikuwemo ndani katika mradi (wiziii) huu, sijui kama muungwana kwa wakati huo kama alikuwemo kwenye njama hii. Lakini hapa ndipo uhasama wa Mamvi na mahasimu wake ulipoanza baada ya kuwazika kwenye deal hii, wakiwemo makada maarufu wa CCM.

mamvi akiwa waziri wa maji na Maendeleo ya Mifugo aliwahi hata kushtakiwa kwa Mkapa kutokana na kiu yake ya kushikiza mshiko na kupiga madili, huku kijana wa Kiiran, akiwa kamanda mpanga mipango. Halafu leo eti Siyo fisadi aliwajibika kisiasa.
