Tz shamba la Bibi Hao jamaa na mengine yapo humu humu Tz yametupiga tena. Lile zee halina aibu kabisaMkataba alioingia Kikwete akaja kuuvunja Magufuli, then huyo Kikwete "think tank" wa Samia tunaona mwanafunzi wake akitutoa sadaka kwa waarabu milele..
Naamini kabisa huo mkataba ulikuwa wa kinyonyaji kwa watanganyika kwa sababu Magufuli hakuwa na tabia za Kikwete na Samia, hao wawili ni waswahili selfish sana.
Ww ndio kiazi hufikiriiMimi nikisema magufuri alikuwa na matatizo ya kufikili kuna watu humu huwa wanachukia sana ...lakini huo ndio ukweli
HujielewiMagu hakuvunja eti sababu ilikuwa mibovu.Alivunja sababu hakupata mgao
Madudu bado yatafumuka..Dawa ya deni kulipa.
Huwezi kukaribisha wawekezaji wakija kuwekeza halafu uwaambie "sitaki", lazima ile kwako kwa makubaliano ya Umoja wa Mataifa.
Moja ilishikwa Canada - tukalipa.
Nyingne ikashikwa Afrika Kusini - tukalipa.
Hiyo umeshikwa Uholanzi- tumelipa.
Tuliishika meli ya samaki, tukagawana samaki - tumelipa samaki, na meli na muda wote iliyokuwa imekaa kesi inaendelea.
Tuliowapora mali zao tukawalipisha "plea bargain" tumewalipa na bado tunaendelea kuwalipa.
WOTE HUO UJINGA WA MTU MMOJA, NA BADO MADUDU YATAENDELEA KUFUMUKA.
Acha ujinga kuliko tatizo hili la sasa litakalifanya kizazi kirudi utumwani. Angalia kilemba chako kisifinike akili yako ndogo uliyonayoUkiona hivyo ujiuwe hao ni mijikondoo iliyokosa mchungaji.

Summary
The case has commenced at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the World Bank organ, which is based in Washington D.C.
Dar es Salaam. EcoEnergy Group has filed a $500 million arbitration claim against the Tanzanian government over its decision to unilaterally revoke land title for a multi-billion Bagamoyo sugar project.
The case has commenced at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the World Bank organ, which is based in Washington D.C.
The Commissioner for Lands informed the Bagamoyo EcoEnergy Limited in November, 2017 that the government had resolved to revoke the title deed for the 20, 400 hactares and instead replaced it with the name of the President of the United Republic of Tanzania.
The unexpected move dealt a major blow to the Swedish company that had for over 10 years worked to develop the project and invested $52 million in a ready-to-go project for local production of sugar, renewable electricity and fuel.
Attorney General and government’s chief legal adviser, George Masaju could not be reached by phone yesterday to react on the move. The project was tied under the bilateral investment protection between Tanzania and Sweden, which calls for disputes to be settled by international arbitration.
The revocation was followed by a series of unsuccessful attempts by the company to have dialogue with the government to save the project and pay compensation.
“Despite several invitations from EcoEnergy, GoT (Government of Tanzania) has ignored all offers to meet for a dialogue to save the project. Hence, EcoEnergy has no other option but to seek legal redress though an international arbitral tribunal,” states the document filed at ICSID. The company wrote to President John Magufuli on December 5, 2016 to request his intervention after failed efforts to have the Prime Minister, Kassim Majaliwa and minister for Industry, Trade and Investment Charles Mwijage to give a go-ahead and full support to enable the sugar project to start.
The consortium of EcoEnergy Africa AB of Sweden and Uttam Group of India was to inject $100 million towards the Bagamoyo project as own equity.
The remaining fund of $250 million would have been a combination of DFI and commercial bank lending where a commitment was given by African Development Bank (AfDB) to act as a lead financing arranger. They already had a board decision of the AfDB to allocate $100 million towards the project.
AfDB withdrew their financing commitment later due to inaction by the government to respond to their requests of endorsing the Bagamoyo project in combination with information that the government had revoked the land title with the intention of giving it to a domestic investor.
“We are concerned that you have not been fully informed about the actual situation and about our ability and interest to have the Bagamoyo Sugar Project up and running by 2019…Taking governments inaction and recent actions and their consequences into consideration we and our partners have now undesirably been forced to reassess the entire situation,” read part of the letter to President Magufuli.
The company has outlined several reasons why it opted for the international arbitration to resolve the dispute. “EcoEnergy has the right to be compensated for the financial harm suffered as the result of GoT’s acts and omissions violating the bilateral investment treaty.
“If the government is allowed to continue unchecked, its damaging actions towards private investors will lead to the loss of credibility for Tanzania as a destination for much needed direct investments into agriculture, as well as into other parts of the economy,” the company complains in the arbitration dossier.
The integrated sugar project that was to be carried out by the firm would have been one of the largest private agriculture investments in East Africa with an overall investment of about $500 million, including the outgrower programme.
The Bagamoyo project was estimated to create 20, 000 jobs in the processing facility, the estate, logistics, the outgrower programme and through indirect employment.
In 2013, the government of Tanzania issued a certificate of occupancy for 99 years for 20, 400 hactares free of encumbrance for the western portion of the abandoned Razaba ranch four years after an environment and social assessment certificate had been approved.
Then minister for Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries Mwigulu Nchemba sent a letter to Bagamoyo EcoEnergy on behalf of the government stating: “On behalf of the government of Tanzania and myself, we do appreciate your efforts in supporting the mentioned project. I think it is now time to make our outmost to bring the project to its successful implementation.” EcoEnergy now says: “The government’s act and omission, which have prevented the BEE project from being implemented, violate Tanzanian’s obligations under the bilateral investment treaty. The government has failed to ensure fair and equitable treatment, it has taken unreasonable and discriminatory measures against EcoEnergy,” read part of the document filed at ICSID.

Utakuwa umejinyea ww sio bure165$ million lakini kwa uhanithi wa mwendazake wakajifanya wajuaji na kuchukua karatasi ya hukumu na kufungia vitumbua hawakujua kwamba kuanjia kesi ilipoanza hadi kufikia kukamatwa ndege kulikuwa na riba ya asilimia 2 kila mwezi kwa hiyo piga hesabu utaelewa vizuri kwamba mchuma janga hula na wakwao

Wawekezaji wa kutuuza?Lazima tujenge imani na wawekezaji, aliyeleta hizo shida anajulikana
Kwanza mtu mwenyewe alipewa eneo ambalo lilikuwa ni makazi ya watu tayari hakulipa fidia sahihi; na hakuna la maana zaidi ya empty promises.
Japo kapewa hector 20,000 tena kwa lease ya miaka 99 yeye mwenyewe hakuwa na mpango wa kulima bali kukodisha maeneo hayo kwa wakulima wadogo wamlimie watu ambao anataka kuwatoa.
Baadhi ya donors waliojitokeza kufadhili hu mpango wa ku support G8 farming in Africa walishaanza kujitoa baada ya kuona utekelezaji una minajili ya land grabbing kuliko kuwasaidia wenyeji.
Huyo mzungu kapata hizo hela kupitia nchi wafadhili ☝️wa huo mradi wa G8 farming kabla ya baadhi ya nchi kujitoa. Ni mambo ya wapiga deal wakizungu huwa wanatafuta projects ambazo nchi zao zina policy ya kusaidia. Wakishapata hela wanakuja Africa wanajifanya wanaweka weka tu mambo kidogo (boshen) waonekane wanafanya kitu ili wapate hizo funds zaidi.
Ukienda Bagamoyo kabla ya kunyan’ganywa ukuti ata uwekezaji wenye thamani ya $5million let alone $50 million anazodai aliwekeza and potential loss of millions dollars (hewa). Hizo ajira elfu 30,000 anazodai angetengeneza mpaka anaondolewa ata 100 si ajabu ajafikisha.
Haya ndio mambo yaliyokuwa yakifanyika enzi za J.K, ajabu kwenye kichwa chake anaamini alikuwa zinga moja la president.
Personal huwa nachukizwa sana unapokutana na mapoyoyo ya kitanzania yanayo side na wawekezaji matapeli kama kama hao.
Bado yule wa Mtwara na yeye sijui atazawadiwa nini huko arbitration.
Unajua ukiwa Rais unatakiwa kuwa na busara sana.....

Jjiwe was a crazyWewe bibi bora Magufuli alivunja hiyo mikataba ya kipumbavu!
Ni bora kulipa bilioni 400 kuliko tungeendelea kunyonywa kwa miaka na miaka!
Mfano kwa mkataba huu wa kipumbavu wa wajomba zenu ni bora uvunjwe tulipe hata til. 1 kwa mkupuo kuliko kuendelea kuukumbatia.
Watu wanaingia uwekezaji feki ili kupiga dili la fidia. Enzi ya jk na sasa samia utaona dili za mtindo huo.Dawa ya deni kulipa.
Huwezi kukaribisha wawekezaji wakija kuwekeza halafu uwaambie "sitaki", lazima ile kwako kwa makubaliano ya Umoja wa Mataifa.
