WHO WILL YOU GIVE SILVERDALE FARM TO NOW MR. KIKWETE?

WHO WILL NOW JOIN THE CORRUPT LAND GRAB OF SILVERDALE FARM?

a.       Another foreign investor perhaps?

b.      A national investment company perhaps?

WATCH THIS SPACE!!!!!!!!!!!!

In one of the most corrupt moves to date in the Silverdale Farm case, Moshi advocate Apollo Maruma acting on behalf of the KyerI, Shari and Usawa Mamba rural co-operative societies served an eviction notice on Benjamin Mengi (Fiona Tanzania) to vacate Silverdale and Mbono Farms. He did so on the basis that the societies are in a contractual relationship in respect of the lease to the farms. Mengi sold the lease to the farms to British investors Stewart Middelton and Sarah hermitage in 2004. the societies gave their permission for this (although this was not required) and you would have had to be in a coma for the last four years not to have known about the sale!!!!

Maruma of course new as did every other lawyer in Moshi. The investors wrote to Maruma and pointed out what he already new in that his actions were corrupt and an abuse of process. His reply containing no legal arguement resembles more a Moshi thug than a lawyer!

Your Excellency,

For the record, we take the liberty to respond to our copy of the email from the so called Solicitor of the Supreme Court of England & Wales. With due respect, she displayed an extreme sense of arrogance in publishing such a defamatory story against our integrity about which she is least qualified to judge. She demonstrated the height of desperation and recklessness.

In a nutshell, she, through Silvedale (T) Ltd, conspired to take over tracks of land on lease to Fiona (T) Ltd without due consent by owners, poor rural villagers organised as Cooperative Societies, our clients. The societies recovered their land for defaults in rentals payments and poor investment etc which Fiona is challenging in court. The fraud between Fiona and Silverdale went sour hence her desperation. Allegations of corruption are frivolous, insulting and offensive to say the least.

The Solicitor - turned - agricultural investor is welcome to pursue her rights, if any, in court and avoid malicious smear campaigns, against resident professionals. She should learn to look back over her shoulders when she set foot in Tanzania again. If Sarah has lost faith in our system of government, she should try Zimbabwe.

Regards,

MARUMA & COMPANY, ADVOCATES
