Investigators said that Tanesco formed a joint escrow (holding) account in 2006, known as the Tegeta account, with Independent PowerTanzaniaLimited (IPTL), which is owned by Pan Africa Power (PAP). Funds from this account were transferred to offshore bank accounts held by private businessmen and government officials, the committee said. Tanzania’s Revenue Authority (TRA) has called for Interpol to investigate the role of Harbinder Singh Sethi, a businessman suspected of organising fraudulent payments, as well as James Rugemalira, who is suspected of siphoning off funds through his stake in IPTL.
Hivi karibuni huko Mtoni Mtongani Dar es Salaam, polisi ilimkamata na kumpiga Mwenyekiti wa CUF, Profesa Ibrahim Lipumba, viongozi wengine pamoja na wananchi, kwa kile kilichodaiwa ni kukaidi amri ya kufanya maandamano yaliyozuiliwa na polisi. Bobali alisema kitendo cha kupigwa kwa viongozi hao ni cha udhalilishaji na kwamba JUVICUF imebaini hizo ni mbinu chafu zilizoandaliwa na serikali ya CCM kumdhalilisha mwenyekiti wao pamoja na viongozi wandamizi wa chama hicho.
