*Makampuni yazuiwa kutoa huduma
*Yapo ya vigogo, wafanyabiashara wakubwa
Na Mwandishi Wetu, Dar es Salaam
MOTO wa Rais Dk. John Magufuli umezidi kuwaka ndani ya Mamlaka ya Bandari Tanzania (TPA), ambapo safari hii kibao kimegeuka kwa kampuni za mizigo 210 kuzuiwa kupitisha mizigo yao.
Uamuzi huo wa TPA umekuja miezi michache tangu Waziri Mkuu Kassim Majaliwa alipofanya ziara katika Bandari ya Dar es Salaam na kubainika upotevu wa makontena zaidi ya 2000 kupitishwa bila kulipiwa kodi kwa mujibu wa sheria.
Taarifa iliyotolewa jana na kusainiwa na Meneja wa Bandari ya Dar es Salaam, Fred Liundi, ilieleza kuwa uamuzi huo umechukuliwa kwa sababu ya kushindwa kuwasilisha vielelezo vya malipo, kama walivyotakiwa na TPA.
Pia wameshindwa kufika bandarini kupokea nyaraka kadhaa kuhusu madeni wanayodaiwa na TPA kwa mujibu wa mizigo yao waliyopitisha.
“Makampuni yafuatayo ya kupitisha mizigo bandarini (Clearing and Forwarding Agents) yamezuiwa kufanya kazi katika bandari zote zinazomilikiwa na TPA pamoja na washirika wake (ICS’s, CF’s na TICTS) tangu Februari 9, mwaka huu. Uamuzi huo umechukuliwa kwa sababu ya kushindwa kuwasilisha vielelezo vya malipo, kama walivyotakiwa,” alisema Liundi katika taarifa yake.
Akizungumzia uamuzi huo, Meneja Mawasiliano wa Bandari, Janeth Luzangi, alisema hatua hiyo imechukuliwa baada ya kampuni hizo kushindwa kuwasilisha uthibitisho wa malipo ya mizigo yao kwa TPA.
“Tulitoa muda kwa makampuni haya na kuwataka kuwasilisha vielelezo vya malipo ya mizigo yao, lakini hawakufanya hivyo, sasa tumelazimika kusitisha utoaji huduma kwao hadi pale watakapowasilisha na si vinginevyo,” alisema Luzangi.
UKIMYA WA TAFFA
Kutokana na uamuzi huo wa Bandari, MTANZANIA ilimtafuta Rais wa Chama cha Mawakala wa Forodha Tanzania (TAFFA), Steven Ngutunga, ili kupata msimamo wao lakini simu yake haikupatikana.
Lakini taarifa kutoka kwa baadhi ya wamiliki wa makampuni hayo, zinadai kuwa baadhi yao walikamilisha utaratibu uliotangazwa na TPA.
“Sisi tulitimiza masharti yote ikiwamo kulipa malimbikizo ya madeni, sasa sijui hili linatoka wapi. Kuna kila dalili kwa bandari kukosea orodha na kutaja kampuni yetu,” alisema mmoja wa wakurugenzi wa moja ya kampuni zilizozuiwa kutoa huduma.
