By Zitto Kabwe

Kutoka Hotuba ya Waziri Mkuu 26.08.2011 – Makampuni yanayoogoza kwa kulipa kodi

Note: (Highlights)

Only one Mining company (the smallest i.e. - Resolute Mining), only one telecom company(Airtel Tanzania).

Household names like: 

MeTL, Bakhresa/Azam, IPP, VodaCom, Coca cola, Pepsi(SABCO), Serengeti Breweries, Barrick Gold, ACACIA, AngloGold Ashanti not seen. No oil marketing companies pia.

One can conclude that, TBL is the most profitable company in Tanzania, NMB is the most profitable Bank.

A public debate is needed. Hili ni tatizo kubwa.

Here under is the an extract from the Prime Minister speech; Sehemu ndogo ya hotuba ya Waziri mkuu.

Mheshimiwa Spika,

1. Nitumie nafasi hii kuwapongeza baadhi ya Walipakodi Wakubwa kwa Serikali na ambao wamefanya vizuri kati ya kipindi cha mwaka 2005 na 2011. Kwa kipindi hicho, Makampuni yaliyoongoza kwa kulipa kodi ni pamoja na:

1. Tanzania Breweries Ltd. (Tshs 165.4b)
2. National Microfinance Bank (Tshs 108.6b);
3. Tanzania Cigarette Company (Shilingi Bilioni 92.1);
4. National Bank of Commerce (Shilingi Bilioni 89.9);
5. CRDB Bank Ltd. (Shilingi Bilioni 79.2);
6. Tanzania Ports Authority (Tsh 76.8b);
7. Tanzania Portland Cement (Tshs 73.4b);
8. Airtel (T) Ltd. (Shilingi Bilioni 63.6);
9. Tanga Cement Company Ltd. (Tshs 43.6 b);
10. Standard Chartered Bank Ltd. (Tshs 40.0b );
11. Citibank (T) Ltd. (Shilingi Bilioni 35.7);
12. Resolute (T) Ltd. (Tshs 32.1b );

15. Group Five International (PTY) Ltd. (Tshs Bilioni 9.5).

2. Napenda kutoa rai kwa Makampuni yote Nchini kuiga mfano huu mzuri. Wito wangu kwa Makampuni, Wafanyabiashara Wakubwa kwa Wadogo na Wananchi wote ni kuongeza juhudi katika kufanya biashara zao ili zizalishe kwa wingi na kupata faida kubwa zaidi. Faida kubwa itachangia katika kuongeza Mapato ya Serikali kwa njia ya Kodi na hivyo kusaidia kukuza uchumi, kuongeza Pato la Taifa na la Mwananchi mmoja mmoja na kuondoa Umaskini. Niwadhihirishieni kwamba, Serikali inatambua umuhimu wao kwa maendeleo ya Nchi yetu na itahakikisha inaongeza juhudi zake za kuweka Mazingira Wezeshi kwa Makampuni hayo kufanya shughuli zao vizuri ili kuwezesha kulipa Kodi kwa mujibu wa Sheria.
