The government has directed the Tanzania Telecommunications
Company Limited (TTCL) board of directors to seek the service of the Control
and Auditor General’s (CAG) office so as to put the finance books of the firm
in order.
The directive was issued by Communications, Science and
Technology deputy minister January Makamba on Monday in Dar es Salaam.
He said the first move was for the CAG to look into the
finance books of the firm and take appropriate legal measures against any
shortcomings.
“Apart from using your internal auditor, it would be wise to
consult the CAG so as to solve problems once and for all,” he said.
He said that he, as a leader and a good citizen, has decided
to report names of people who messed up with the company’s finances that were
handed to him to the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) so
that investigations would be opened.
“I want you to talk openly so that we find lasting solutions
to these problems,” he urged workers.
He appealed to any worker who has documentary evidence as
per the allegations to come out and present them so that authorities would work
on them.
He noted that the government was in the process of making sure that
TTCL got new leadership and that he was optimistic that everything would be put
back to order.
Mr Makamba said TTCL had huge potential to generate wealth
for the nation, adding that the government was determined to ensure its operations
run smoothly and benefit the workers and the nation as well.
TTCL’s director general Said Amir appealed to workers to
speak out the truth, remain persistent, especially at this time when the
company is passing through such turbulence.
TTCL workers alleged that the management and the board have
generally been mismanaging the finances and operations of the company. The
minister also hinted on the possibility of the government reclaiming shares
currently in private hands.
