Corruption Again

Tanzania, a country with numerous resources, gold, diamonds, precious gems, coal, oil, natural gas, parks.
Why are most of the people living in poverty?

CORRUPTION ONCE AGAIN.
Once again a contract with a briefcase company, Richmond, made the prices of electricity soar up making the citizens suffer. TANESCO (Tanzania Electric Supply Company Ltd) signed a contract with Richmond about 3 years ago to counter power shortages when there was no water in Mtera. It sent Richmond approximately 152 000 000 Tshs/ day for about 2 years(apart from a huge sum of money paid after the contract was signed) which they are still sending 'to follow the contract'. Former PM Edward Lowassa and a few other corrupt cabinet ministers were paid to choose Richmond from the other companies according to a report from an investigation team, led by MP Harrison of Kyela(Kyela region South of Tanzania, close to Lake Nyasa). MP Harrison and his colleagues were brave and they received threats from supposedly government officials when they were investigating the contract. Lowassa, then sent a letter to President Kikwete asking for resignation which was accepted. The big questions are,
Will the money be retrieved?
Will Lowassa and other corrupt govt. officials be put to justice?
What do you think would have happened if Lowassa has not resigned?
