Well Mrs Mbega a good start to boosting productivity and alleviating poverty in the Kilimanjaro region would be to apply the rule of law to Benjamin Mengi's theft to the lease of Silverdale & Mbono Farms in the Hai district.

KILIMANJARO Regional Commissioner (RC) Mrs Monica Mbega reminded farmers that 'Kilimo Kwanza' initiative intended, among others, to improve farming practices so as to boost productivity in food production and ultimately alleviate poverty in rural areas where the majority of Tanzanians live.
Well Mrs Mbega a good start to boosting productivity and alleviating poverty in the Kilimanjaro region would be to apply the rule of law to Benjamin Mengi's theft to the lease of Silverdale & Mbono Farms in the Hai district.
Mengi's presence on the farm is unlawful and criminal.
He has systematically over the last two years cut down every single tree on the farms and turned a 500 acre intensive farming unit into and unproductive desert. In the process stealing from British investors and the rights of local Tanzanians
MENGI'S CATTLE DESTROYING A THREE ACRE FIELD OF MAIZE WHILST THE MOSHI REGIONAL CRIME OFFICER STOOD AND WATCHED AND DID NOTHING
MENGIS CATTLE DELIBERATELY DRIVEN INTO THIS MAIZE CROP TO DESTROY IT $10,000 WORTH OF CROP WAS DESTROYED. THE POLICE DID NOTHINGThe lease to the farms is lawfully owned by Silverdale Tanzania Ltd a company owned by British investors Stewart Middleton and Sarah Hermitage. Under this ownership, the farms were productive, cared for and provided fine vegatables for export to Europe and the local market. Over 100 Tanzanians were employed on the farms and enjoyed prosperity.
Benjamin Mengi destroyed eveything that was good about this investment using his cattle to destroy much of what was produced and systematically by violence and abuse of law destroying every element of the operation of the farm and the futuers of the Tanzanian staff employed there.
Today the decent Tazanians involved in the farm and who's poverty was alleviated by it, have nothing!!!
No one here in the West can take anything you say about kilimo Kwanza seriously after all, if you were serious, you would kick Mengi off the farms and put him in prison for his criminal conduct.
Over to you!!!
