Tanil is no more passed away peacefully this night at seifee Hospital, so sad, Rest Easy TanilHuyu ni kijana wa Mwanza kama sijakosea na alianza maisha kwa kutengeneza PROJECTS huku akisaka wahisani kuzifund projects hizo. Mjini shule ninajiuliza alidaka vipi mchongo wa BAE? Kanunua ULTIMATE SECURITY na SHIVACOM kwa hela ile ya serikali na ndio super dealer wa IVECO Tanzania.

Karibuni JAMVINI......!
Those who said the sun never set on the British Empire are right!
In 2001, Tanzania signed a single-sourced $40m contract with a British arms supplier BAE Systems (British Aerospace Limited). In this deal, BAE was to supply Tanzania with an Air Traffic Control (ATC) system to serve the countrys eight -yes only 8- military aircraft!
The ATC system in question was described by the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) as being a dated technology. The agency said that upgrading the system to meet civil aviation demands would cost Tanzanians millions of dollars. The agency further argued that Tanzanias needs would have been met with a $5m to $7m civil aviation system.
What is interesting is that the deal was pushed by none other than UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. Blairs argument was that the deal was good for the UK because it would protect 250 British jobs on the Isle of Wight that were at stake! (Who gives a damn about Tanzania Wanjiku who has to go to bed on an empty stomach to make such a purchase!)
Even more interesting is the revelation by a Tanzanian middleman Sailesh Vithlani that BAE paid him $12m (30% of the contractual amount) through a Swiss bank. The payment was done through Red Diamond Trading one of BAEs covert offshore companies registered in the British Virgin Islands. Red Diamond is the same outfit alleged to have given a Sterling pound 1M to the late Chilean dictator Pinochet.
Vithlanis business buddy Tanil Somaiya (no relation to Ketan Somaia) collaborated the bribery allegation saying that they (Somaiya and Vithlani) were paid 1% of the contractual amount to make sure the deal was signed and awarded to Vithlanis Merlin International.
Tanil Somaiya Left Donating bikes to Tanzanian Police The World Bank and IMF refused to extend a loan to Tanzania for this purchase claiming that it was waste of resources. This however did not stop the deal. The UKs Barclays Bank stepped in and finance it at interest rates that were much higher than those charged by the Bretton Woods institutions. In the end Tanzanians were left with a huge bill stemming from the UKs quest to create less than 300 jobs for Britons.
Politicians will always be politicians. In this case, there was more to the storyline than securing 250 jobs. Did the kickback extend to individuals in the UK? Vithlani has no comment because the most likely answer is yes. The zeal by which Blair pushed for the deal suggests that money may have changed hands. This will not be the first time that an East African has dished out money to UK politicians.
To cap it all, we learnt that upon retirement, Lord Parkinson became the chairman of Somaias offshore company, Dolphin Group the mother company of the collapsed Delphis Bank. Lord Parkinson also served as Kamanis envoy to South Africa as to promote Kamanis controversial 25-year monopoly in the development of Mpumalanga Game Park of South Africa.
The two Tanzanians in this mess have been linked to many other corruption scandals in Tanzanias defense contracts. These crooks continue to travel in and out of the UK as they will. The UKs seems to have a traditional stand of protecting companies and individuals who are plundering Africa. The Pattnis, the Kamanis, the Somaias and now the Vithlanis have a safe heaven in the UK. This reminds me of the colonial era companies like the British East Africa Co. that owned East Africa and plundered it with full support of the UK.
The UK doesnt seem to mind about corruption as long as the proceeds benefit her and her politicians. For this reason economic hitmen are treated like loyalty while relatively smalltime thieves like neo-colonial Paramount Chief Murungaru are prohibited from stepping on the English soil. After all the UK has to hoodwink us to see them as protectors and not perpetuators of corruption. What the heck! Fry one Murungaru and Africans will sing God Save the Queen.
In this setting, our leaders come out as colonial paramount chiefs who sold their people and land for a blanket and a mirror. And we say we are independent countries!
TANIL SOMAIYA anaonekana kua na mtandao kutoka katika mizizi ya ile RADER ya kuangalia wanyama wanaotoshwa Tanzania kuelekea ughaibuni kama jinsi IMF,SFO na WORLD BANK zinavyohoji ualakini na kununua rader ile.
