..madilu,
..thanks for the pics! kwahiyo,kwa mtazamo,ufahamu au utaalamu wako,ndege zipi,za size hiyo,ndio nzuri?fokker?tumezitumia vizuri awali!
..kwahiyo,umekata tamaa?
..kuna shughuli nyingine zenye maslahi au muonekano/hadhi ya taifa sekta binafsi haiwezi kuzifanya vizuri au na kwa manufaa ya taifa!bahati mbaya nyingi ya hizi zina element kubwa ya kibiashara!
..zipo serikali kadhaa zenye mashirika yanayofanya biashara au kusimamia kampuni za kibiashara!moja ni singapore!yenye holding company[ina makampuni/HISA katika makampuni kadhaa ikiwemo singapore airlines na singapore telecommunications]inayoitwa temasek.and mind you,hizo hisa ni over 50%!
..sheria hizi ni kwa wajinga kama sisi na si wenye ufahamu wa maslahi na maendeleo ya taifa lao!
.... kuna kipindi ruzuku ni muhimu,ila si dawa endelevu ya kukwamua mashirika yenye hasara!it's supposed to be a shot in the arm!
Jana nimeions ndege ya kwanza ya Community Airlines (Boeng 737 H800). Kama ATCL bado wanasuasua, watapata ushindani mkubwa na wanaweza kupotea kibiashara.
Si kweli: shirika la "Morani" Mtanzania linaweza kuwa na mwonekano wa Kitaifa/Kitanzania. Deep inside ni mtanzania bado. Kwa ni taifa ni nani? Ni sisi kwa wingi na uchache wetu, mmoja mmoja na michango yao ndiyo inanafanya au kuunda Tanzania!! Sasa hao mmoja mmoja wanaweza kuchangia kwa njia mbalimbali, kwa kukimbia, biashara, ....
Naam ... Haswa, kwamba hata hao wamegundua kwamba Serikali yenyewe haiwezi kuendesha, TOO RISKY, wana-maintain some shares lakini kampuni inaendeshwa kwa misingi ya kampuni binafsi ...
Sawa... Labda niliweke vizuri zaidi, kwamba sheria inakuwa mbaya pale ambapo haikidhi maslahi yako... nafikiri ni observation muhimu..
Yes but in the case of Tanzania with its history and immaturity, way too risky, in my opinion, for now. I do not believe ATCL can build a company that can compete!
Sijakata tamaa. Lakini situmii weakness yangu kama asset yangu katika masuala ya kazi au biashara. Na kama kuna kazi au biashara ambayo najiona na weakness, basi nitajifunza.
Tuna weakness katika uendeshaji wa mashirika ya umma.
Air Tanzania shall not be for sale
Makwaiya wa kuhenga
Daily News; Thursday,December 13, 2007 @22:03
IN this column a while ago, I reported the jubilant mood of workers of Air Tanzania on the rebirth of the national airline as a state owned enterprise.
My reading of that mood was that that mood was a wider translation of the mood of Tanzanians in general that privatisation was neither a dogma nor a panacea to all economic strategies. There are areas where the state, on behalf of a given people should have a stake in strategic areas of a given economy.
Over the last two decades, the people of this country have experienced the vagaries of private capital. The catchword has been: Privatis- ation as an engine of economic growth. What has been the focus?
Investors have invariably chosen sectors that would mean a fast buck for them. They have gone for ready made enterprises such as the beer and mining industry. We have yet to see their thrust in agriculture - whose potential is comparatively unmatched to any sector. We have yet to see them investing in airdromes and airports of our country to make them of all weather use.
I landed at Tabora airport the other day and I was shocked to see that 46 years after independence it is still not tarmacked. It is not the only airdrome in this pathetic state across the country. Clearly, this is not an area to make good money for investors. So who steps in?
We have learnt albeit the hard way that private capital has its serious limitations - it is neither in the interest of the majority public nor is it in the interest of the government of the day that has a serious agenda to fulfill mans basic needs.
Now back to our Air Tanzania. Why are investors not coming now - to provide the seed money for its operations? Why didnt they show interest before? They will not come and their standard reason will be - airline business is risky and fragile!
When the government first flirted with an outside investor who came in as a partial owner, with 49 per cent shares in the airline, there was nothing that happened to make the difference.
There was in fact an attempt at killing the airline altogether or at best convert it into an appendage.
Fortunately the government saw the writing on the wall. It has decided for full ownership of the airline funded by the state.
This is a very commendable move, which has enjoyed the support of both the people and Members of Parliament - including those from the Opposition. This support translates simply that it does not always make economic sense to privatise everything. A country must have its symbols and among these symbols is a national airline.
We have begun very well along this road. There is serious commitment on the part of the government of the day which is providing seed capital for the airline with the prime objective to make the airline commercially viable.
There is no reason why it should not break even in the long run because the market is there both locally and internationally.
One big advantage of having an airline that is state-owned is that problems are easily solved in terms of inter-state contacts in case passengers being stranded as have been widely reported in the media. In fact I am reliably informed that stranded passengers bound for their pilgrimage is the result of the other end abroad (not state owned enterprises!) not keeping their word of the deal to haul pilgrims and not Air Tanzanias problems per se.
We have seen a whole prime minister and the relevant minister working hand in hand with the management of Air Tanzania to ensure that pilgrims make the trip. I am sure this commitment is as result of the state having a full stake in the ownership of Air Tanzania.
So, what people of goodwill should really do is to wish the national flag carrier well. The state should continue supporting the national airline to achieve viability. And once this objective is realised, and in the event need arises to secure strategic alliances for a better international performance, then the airline should seek a partner.
Of course, seeking a strategic partner is not the same thing as privatising the airline or selling it altogether.
One does not use taxpayers money to take off the ground an airline only to sell it to someone who was not there during the initial donkey job - just in the name of privatisation. Privatisation is not a religion!
