8.5 Weakness on lease of Kigoma port to MS Gravimports
SPLL
Our review of Kigoma port operations found out that the
operations of cargo terminal were leased to a private
operator MS Gravimports SPLL of Burundi and its partner
called MUAPI of Tanzania at an annual rental fee of USD
200,000 from 1/1/2008 for a period of 5 years.
However we observed the following anomalies:-
• The Contract was effected by Head office without
any directives such that the management at the
Kigoma port seems not to be aware of many
provisions agreed in the contract.
• There was no access to MUAPI activities by TPA staff,
hence TPA raised invoices only from the declarations
made by MUAPI in the reports.
• The Performance bond of USD 500,000 which was to
be issued by authorized bank in Tanzania, from the
effective date to until 30 days after the end of the
lease (to be renewed annually) was provided on
