Me, I seing it in a defferent percpective .
 
Muhongo sees that currently, no Tanzania has the capacity to invest in gas mining but, with a big BUT, whoever has that capacity today or any day has to come in his office and compete as other investors. Therefore the whole mining capacity if invested in TPDC on behalf of all Tanzanian not in an individuals.
 
On the other hand, Dr. Mengi wants a deliberate effort that the government should give the Tanzanians and opportunity to invest in the gas mining whether they have the capacity or not. If that happen there are other Tanzanian who will be paying while Dr. Mengi is eating the cake.
 
The major difference between the two, is that one is realistic that is Muhongo while Mengi is only optmistic and wants a favour. To me there is no free lunch

*Minister Sospeter Muhongo vs Chairman Reginald Mengi: Personal counter
attacks should be replaced by collaboration in their services for Tanzanian
generations*

Suggestion that individual Tanzanians who wish to participate in the
upstream activities of oil and natural gas prospects development in the
country should tender to compete with foreign companies for the few
Tanzanian oil and/or natural gas prospects on auction is impractical and
discriminating majority of Tanzanian citizens.

While countries like South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt already have several
local multibillionaires who are (as individuals) able to contribute the
huge seed capital involved in the appraisal of oil and natural gas
prospects, Tanzania still doesn't have a single billionaire or a public
company which can overcome the challenge and win one or two of the
Tanzanian oil and/or natural gas prospects on auction.

Suggestion discriminates the majority of the huge population of nearly 45
million Tanzanian citizens who (as individuals) are unable to mobilize the
seed capital required to qualify themselves for one or two of the prospects
on auction, but,
------------------------------
who (as a collective) are able to contribute and mobilize such seed capital
and qualify, if well sensitized and assisted in the mobilization of such
seed capital by the government and other well-wishers like Dr. Reginald
Mengi.

Suggestion is also unprofessional because to succeed in the business of oil
and natural gas prospects appraisal, one has to seek collaboration with
others in order to enable mobilization of the huge minimal seed capital
required to enable his or her simultaneous participation in the appraisal
of the minimum number of oil and/or natural gas prospects of variable
characteristics, which are required to minimize risk, enhance the
probability of success and justify investment in the business.

Most of the foreign companies tendering for one or two of the Tanzanian oil
and/natural gas prospects too, are multinationals composed of private and
public sectors, and workers (through their social security funds) on
expansion of their global portfolio of prospects involved in the
minimization of business risk to enhance the probability of success, thanks
to the multinational public and private sectors collaboration empowering
and enabling them to mobilize the huge seed capital involved.

Correct approach for Tanzania should have therefore been TPDC to retain (on
behalf of all Tanzanians) free carried sovereign shares, plus another 10-20
% shares (for example) which could be sold to individuals in the local
private sector and workers (through their social security funds) and
maximize participation and benefit of majority Tanzanians in all foreign
involved oil and/or natural gas appraisals which would happen in the
country, and minimize risk to enhance the probability of success. 

Collaboration has always been the most effective empowerment tool for the
majority poor populations worldwide in their struggle for deserved share of
the global exploitation of the natural capital inherent in strategic
mineral deposits like oil and/or natural gas, now dominated by the minority
well financed, thanks for the correct choice of collaboration as their main
empowerment tool.

In place of the Chairman of private sector call for private sector to be
enabled to participate in the most rewarding upstream oil and/or natural
gas appraisal in the country turned into un-ending personal counter attacks
between the highly respected academician and Hon. Minister of Energy and
Minerals (Prof. S. Muhongo) and the highly successful and respected local
entrepreneur, creator of jobs and supporter of the disadvantaged throughout
Tanzania (Dr. R. Mengi), the Government (through the Ministry of Energy and
Minerals) should instead mobilized and coordinated joint consultations with
representative-experts and leaders of the local private sector and workers
to find out how much seed capital the local private sector and workers
could contribute for shares in the would be foreign involved oil and/or
natural gas appraisal in the country, and the number of shares which should
be reserved for the local private sector and workers in any of the oil
and/or natural gas prospects which would be granted to foreign companies in
the country.

Under good leadership, strong partnership between local private and public
sectors, and workers are main determinants of success in the development of
Tanzania's economy which benefits its generations.

The call made by the Chairman of Private Sector foundation for local
private sector to be enabled to participate in the most rewarding foreign
dominated (in most developing countries) upstream activity in oil and/or
natural gas appraisal in the country is very practical and important in
ensuring the foreign involved exploitation of the natural capital inherent
in our strategic mineral resources like oil and natural gas is delivering
the share deserved to Tanzanian generations.
The Government (through the Ministry of Energy and Minerals) should instead
pick on the good idea from the Chairman of local private sector foundation
and engage representative experts and/or leaders of the local private and
public sectors, and workers in the determination of optimal partnership
between the local private and public sectors, and workers, and the
collective seed capital local private sector and workers could contribute
for shares,  and in addition to the sovereign shares reserved for State (on
behalf of all Tanzanians), the number of shares which should be reserved to
local private sector and workers as empowerment to enhance their
productivity.

Top leaders in our country have always been calling for the rich in the
country to come forward and invest in the development and exploitation of
mineral prospects to reverse trend dominated by foreigners in the country,
and Dr Reginald Mengi is one of the few who responded practically and
continuously sensitizing many others to follow his steps. What's wrong if
he is one of the three Tanzanians legally holding largest prospecting
(mostly reconnaissance) grounds on green-fields in the country?

Holding numerous grounds for prospecting minimizes risk to maximize the
probability of success in the mobilization of exploration funds from
financial institutions and/or attraction of foreign partners and
investments.

Failure to spend or complete planned exploration programs is justifiable,
when take into consideration fluctuation of sought minerals demand and
value on the global market, in which, it would be very difficult to raise
exploration monies for minerals which have lost values and demands on the
global market, and counterproductive to continue investing on what has lost
market value when one should postpone here to invest there in the
exploration for minerals which have gained value and demand on the global
market.

Again, the accusation that most local holders of exploration grounds are
speculators or middle dealers in the local exploration business is
unprofessional and senseless because most junior explorers worldwide are
also speculators or middle dealers, and the speculation or middle deals
which benefits locals is also main in the attraction of foreign investors
and investments, and discovery of new deposits in the country.

Instead of blaming Dr. Reginald Mengi and other local holders of
prospecting licences for failing to accomplish exploration programs as
desired, the government should instead find out some ways of enabling them
to accomplish.
For example, the huge hikes of exploration fees and rents Government
introduced recently are such a huge burden most locals and foreign
investors wouldn't be able to raise for the Tanzanian exploration, mostly
happening on green-fields.
Instead of the hike, the rents and fees which existed before should have
been reduced in order to enable more Tanzanians, especially graduating
geologists to go for self employment in the generation and appraisal of
Tanzanian mineral prospects, and their promotion for joint ventures with
junior or large scale explorers to maximize local participation and
benefit, instead of going for job seeking in the environment of diminishing
exploration activity caused by prohibitive exploration rents and fees
government escalated recently.
