By Adam Ihucha, Lake Manyara
Manyara-born conservationist David Maige, plus members of his family, had a nasty experience recently, which will be etched on their memories for probably the rest of their lives.
The man, a Tanzanian national employed by Lake Manyara National Park, took his family to the legendary Lake Manyara Hotel for a leisurely outing that turned out to be an nightmarish anti-climax.
Upon approaching the main gate of the prestigious lodge, watchmen relayed a piece of information to him which didn`t register immediately as being factual - that the facility was a no-go zone for natives, but the preserve of foreigners and members of the power elite.
Lake Manyara Hotel is one of the formerly government-owned prestigious lodges in the northern tourist circuit, which was privatized a couple of years back and is now owned by Hotels & Lodges.
The hotel is located nearly 6 km west-south of Manyara National Park.
On Thursday this last week, the conservationist disclosed the experience to Natural Resources and Tourism Minister, Shamsa Mwangunga.
``Honourable Minister, as domestic tourists, Tanzanians are facing discrimination at the hotel.
We are not allowed to approach the facility, let alone getting in and being served,`` he lamented

``Honourable Minister, as domestic tourists, Tanzanians are facing discrimination at the hotel.
We are not allowed to approach the facility, let alone getting in and being
An irritated Minister Mwangunga paid a surprise visit to the hotel immediately, to establish the authenticity or otherwise, of the allegations.
Two of its senior officials -- Group Operations Manager Fred Tenga and General Manager Hamis Juma, put up spirited defence, saying that restrictions on access to the hotel were driven by security concerns, in the wake of terrorist attack threats.
``Our hotel is close to a residential area, and so we felt it necessary to control unnecessary influx, taking into account that we have suffered three robbery incidents, `` Tenga told the minister, stressing that security of their clients is one of the top in their agenda.
On his part, Juma told her that the restriction policy was imposed by the hotel management following attacks on some hotels in the East African region and elsewhere in the world.
``Since terrorists have no labels, the management decided to restrict an influx of local people into the lodge,`` the hotel boss noted.
Responding, the shocked minister said the move was not only frustrating her ministry`s efforts to promote domestic tourism, but also contravened the laws of the land.
``Your theory is baseless; after all, these are Tanzanian facilities. How dare you bar them from having a nice time in their own hotel?`` Mwangunga asked.
The minister then issued a one week ultimatum for the management to revoke the policy and to give her a feedbackserved,`` he lamented
NINAKUCHUKIA ROSTAM!! NINAKUCHUKIA SANA!!!!! SINA LA ZAIDI.
ReplyDeleteWa Mwanzo Kaongea Point mie ni mweusi na huu ubaguzi jamani wekeni pembeni tizameni ukweli MENGI anajaribu
ReplyDelete1. Kuwaharibia wanaomzidi kibishara
2. Anasaidia maskini kwa njia ya kujitangaza kwak ujipendekeza kwa watu wa Serikalini sasa toka Kikwete ashike kagonga mwamba.
3.Mengi Mbona hajajitokezak uongea mwenyewe? au ndio Mafiloso?
4. Washauri wake watampoteza mengi hata Kuongea kidogo kiengereza basi hata Muhindi wanaomwita si mtanzania kaongea kiswahili tena kizuri tu kushinda watu wa mengi.
Wote hao Rostam Aziz astahafu Ubunge na Mengi wacha kashfa Chafu za kuharibia wenzako haifai Tabia zimepitwa na wakati hizo.
Utakuwa kama Mtikila sasa.
James Walilo.
Hakuna msafi asie na doa. Mpaka Mungu atoe hukumu. Lakini wako waliozidi, hata miongoni mwetu wananchi na wanablogu- kwani hawa wafanya biashara wakubwa na wanasiasa wanatoka wapi? Si humuhumu miongoni mwetu!Lakini Mengi kajibu tuhuma za Rostam point by point au katoa point by point rebuttal ya allegations za Rostam na katoa ushahidi juu. Rostam mpaka kesho kashindwa kujibu na kutoa ushahidi kuhusu tuhuma anazokabiliwa nazo. Badala yake mbinu ya Rostam ni kuwarushia makombora wanaomtuhumu. Nilifurahishwa sana na alivyosema Mwakyembe jiomboni kwake karibuni kwamab mbinu za Rostam no kama za wezi au vibaka wa Kariakoo ambao amabo yakiharibika nao wanajiunga na wanaopiga kelele: 'Mwizi! Mwizi!' ili kupoteza lengo na isiwe rahisi kumtambua kwenye kundi la watu wengi kwamba mwizi ni yupi hasa.Kwa hiyo pamoja na mbinu hii ya Kariakoo Rostam anaamini the best form of defence is attack. Hivyo ndivyo nionavyo.Salama ya Rostam ni kwamba mengi aliyotenda ni pamoja na viongozi wa ngazi ya juu sana na kufika huko kutuhumu kwa kawaida si rahisi. Lakini woga wa watanzania umeshaanza kuondoka na tumeshuhudia kushinikizwa au kubinywa kwa Waziri Mkuu mpaka akajiuzulu kwa mara ya kwanza katika historia yetu hivi karibuni. Naamini hata kina Rostam arobaini haiko mbali na hii ni heshima ya dunia si kwa Rostam tu bali kwa wote tutakao chuma kiujanjaujanja, tutakaolewa madaraka na utajiri, sote arobaioni yetu inatusubiri haimatmbui Rostam, Edward, Ben wala nani. Siku arobaini za mtu zikifika zimefika. Amen
ReplyDeleteTunafahamu kidogo sana kuhusu hizi kashfa za kifisadi, kila mtu anakuja na mtazamo wake.
ReplyDeleteTuache wamalizane,wakimaliza watuambie. Na waandishi wa habari,huu ndio muda wenu wa kuuza magazeti. Ila mkumbuke kwamba mtavuna mnachokipanda.
Rostam Aziz na Reginald Mengi wote ni Mafisadi inabidi wafikishwe kwenye vyombo vya sheria haraka sana.
ReplyDeleteMengi ulikuwa unalalamika kuhusu wahindi kuwa wamehodhi maeneo karibu yote ya katikati ya jiji halafu ukaja kupewa eneo la katikati ya jiji na serikali baadae ukaamua kuliuza kwa muhindi kwa bei ya juu. Mengi na wewe ni FISADI tu kama Rostam
Investor complains about Mengi.

MENGI CONTROLS POLICE, COURTS AND MEDIA, CONSUMED WITH CORRUPTION.
Few in Tanzania are unaware of the issues surrounding the conduct of Benjamin Mengi against British investors Stewart Middleton and Sarah Hermitage and their Tanzanian staff in his criminal attempt to re-gain the lease to Silverdale & Mbono Farms which his Fiona Tanzania Ltd sold in May 2004 and the deliberate campaign of criminal liable and defamation promoted by his brother Reginald Mengi using IPP Media.
Benjamin Mengi and his wife Millie, unlawfully keeps a herd of cattle on Silverdale Farm refusing to remove them. In early 2006, Mr. Middleton and his wife had to suffer the appalling sight of Mengi�s cattle dying from neglect and Foot & Foot Mouth disease with infected carcasses deliberately left unburied around the couple�s house. Mengi continues to use the animals as a means of harassment and intimidation and of destroying Mr. Middleton�s commercial interests in Tanzania. The Tanzanian authorities have ignored and condoned this criminal action by Mengi for four years.
On the 31st January 2007, Salim Habib (employed by Mengi to tend his cattle, present on the farm as a trespasser and refusing to leave) deliberately drove a herd of forty of Mengi�s cattle into a plot of Maize grown for export on Silverdale Farm causing $10,000 of destruction.
When approached by Silverdale staff, Habib became violent and wielding a Machete, threatened to kill Technical Manager Able Ng�oja. The man was apprehended by farm staff and handcuffed in full compliance with laws of Tanzania. The police were called but failed to attend for four hours. The Police arrived two hours later accompanied by Benjamin Mengi. Salem was handed over to Inspector Janet from the Moshi Police who took Habib into custody. Inspector Janeth on arrival in Moshi town immediately released Habib and escorted him to the District Police Station in Moshi where he opened criminal charges of assault against the Silverdale staff that had lawfully detained him.
Benjamin Mengi, not present at the scene stated to reporters from IPP Media (Jackson Kimambo) that British Investor Stewart Middleton had incited his staff to beat Mr. Salem. IPP Media publication the Guardian printed the following day, the fact that the men had been arrested and that Stewart Middleton stood by and watched as Habib cried for his life. This was a deliberate act of criminal liable by IPP Media the CEO of which is Reginald Mengi, Benjamin Mengi�s brother. No right of reply was offered to Middleton.
The four staff, all key staff for the investors farming operation, Able Ng�oja (Technical Manager), Macel Kaishe (security Manager), Edward Swai (Farm Manager) and Swalehe Rajabu (Irrigation Manager) were asked to attend Moshi Police station the next day and give witness statements. On completion of their statements, the men were told that the statements they had given were not in fact witness statements but they were statements �under caution� with reference to a complaint of assault by Mr. Habib against them. None of the men were formally arrested, cautioned or given legal representation in abuse of the penal Code of Tanzania. This corruption was instigated by Benjamin Mengi and Inspector Janeth together with the Regional Police Commander Lucas Ng�hoboko
The Director of Criminal Investigation on being apprised of these facts stated that the men had indeed, not been formally arrested and charged and instructed that there was no evidence against the men. Surprisingly, Salim�s brother, Omari, not present at the incident was charged for an offence of damage in respect of the incident.
Mengi boasted for weeks, that he would place the men in prison by any means whatsoever. In July 2007, Benjamin Mengi (not present at the incident) asked the police to re-open the case; they declined stating their investigation was completed. Mengi then sought the assistance of State Attorney in Charge in Moshi, Juma Ramadan, a close friend of Mengi�s (and an overtly corrupt government officer) to prosecute the case regardless of the decision of the police. Juma agreed.
On Juma�s instructions, the four men were again asked to attend Moshi police station by the Regional Crime Officer and on arrival, they were immediately taken before the court and asked to plead to charges once again of the assault of Salim Habib. They had not been cautioned charged or formally arrested. Their rights under the Constitution of Tanzania were again abused. On the 25th January 2008, all four men were sentenced to six months imprisonment with the prosecutor seeking the severest possible punishment to �teach the men a lesson�.
At the trial, no prosecution witnesses were called stating they had seen Habib assaulted by the accused. All the prosecution witnesses stated they were not present at the scene of the alleged assault. Conversely, six witnesses called by the defence gave direct evidence of the fact that Salim was not assaulted by the accused and did in fact commit the serious offence of malicious damage and was lawfully detained and handed over to the police.
To sum up, the prosecution of the men was a viciously corrupt act orchestrated by Mengi�s bribery of the police, the state attorney�s office and Principle Magistrate Du Du. The prosecution was a complete travesty of justice bringing shame on Tanzania and the Tanzanian legal system.
After sentencing, the British Government was told by the Director of Prosecutions that the clearly corrupt judgement would be addressed and rectified by him personally. This was not affected and to date, Magistrate Du Du has not produced the official ruling of the case in order for the men to appeal.
The full judgment by Dudu taped in the courtroom can be heard here on Wikileaks and shows clearly that Dudu sent the men to prison in abuse of law. He remains in his post in Moshi, as do all those named in this article.
The investors were driven out of Tanzania in February 2008 by Mengi�s threats to kill them. Despite a report conducted by the PCCB and a statement to the British government by PCCB Chief Edward Hoseah, that the lease to the farms lawfully belonged to the British investors, Mengi has been allowed to invade Silverdale Farm and steal all of the property belonging to the investors. This action has been facilitated by the corruption of Regional Police Commander Lucas Ng�hoboko and Regional Crime Officer Linus Sinzumwa who are actively assisting Mengi in his crimes.
Described by British M.P. Roger Gale as a small time cheat, Benjamin Mengi�s criminal activity appears to be supported by the Tanzanian government in that nothing is done to apply the rule of law to his conduct.
Those engaged in high level corruption in support of Mengi�s theft of the lease to Silverdale & Mbono Farms are particularly but not exclusively, as follows: -
Regional Crime Officer Moshi Linus Sinzumwa Regional Police Commander RPC Lucas Ng�hoboko Police Inspector Janet Fraud Officer Mshana Regional Commissioner Babu IPP Media Reginald Mengi Magistrates Du Du, Mkisi, Herbert, Temu, Nyere State Attorney�s Office State Attorney Juma District Land and Housing Registry Officer Nkya Avocates Lymambo, Jonathan, Msunga, Sandi.
The question must surely be asked, why doesn�t the Tanzanian government apply the rule of law to Benjamin Mengi�s criminal conduct?
Who rules Tanzania? Well in Moshi, clearly, the Mengi family.
