Just thinking aloud, 

Kuwa mlipa kodi mkubwa na kushika namba moja ina maana umeingiza mapato mengi pia kwenye biashara uifanyayo na hivyo kulipa kodi stahiki na hatimaye wajikuta umekuwa namba moja, sio, nawaza kwa sauti tu, je inamaanisha nini kwa TBL kuwa kinara?, ni kwamba wameuza sana au niaje? 

Mtu alitarajia yale makampuni yanayojihusisha na vyakula, vinywaji baridi au simu yashike namba kwa naamini yana wateja wengi kuliko tbl, na je yale yanayochimba madini tena mengine yana migodi zaidi ya miwili kanda ya ziwa huko nayo imekuwaje? just thinking aloud!
