Mhh! JAMANI HAPA HATUJALANULIWA KWELI??
A giant ruby once valued at £11million has sold for just a fraction of the price after documents proved it was a forgery, it emerged today.
The 10,700 carat Gem of Tanzania, once believed to be the largest ruby in the world, was sold for just £8,010 by administrators Ernst & Young.
The rock once underpinned the balance sheet of Shropshire firm Wrekin Construction and was listed as an £11million asset by the company's owner David Unwin.
But after the company collapsed last spring the estimated value of the 4.4lb purple rock dropped to as little as £100.
Some value could be recouped if the gem is broken up to release smaller rubies inside, but in its current form it is simply a lump of anyolite, a practically worthless grade of ruby.
The gem was sold off by administrators last week in an attempt to recoup some of Wrekin's £40million debts to their 1,000 creditors.
It was bought by Network Group Holdings whose Network Construction Services in Telford are owed several hundred thousand pounds by Wrekin.
Wrekin Construction was 'saved' by the stone in 2007 after Derbyshire entrepreneur David Unwin offered the gem in return for preference shares.
He produced a certificate of valuation assumed to be genuine and the gem was listed as an asset - transforming the fortunes of the company.
Sitta: Nipo tayari kwa hukumu yoyote CCM
SPIKA wa Bunge Samuel Sitta amesema yupo tayari kwa hukumu yoyote itakayotolewa na chama chake CCM, iwapo msimamo wake wa kupinga ufisadi, rushwa na maovu ndani ya chama hicho, utaonekana ni tatizo.
Sitta alitoa msimamo huo jana katika mahojiano maalumu na gazeti hili ambapo pia alibainisha kuwa hatua zilizochukuliwa na CCM kupitia kamati maalumu ya Rais Mstaafu Ali Hassan Mwinyi kwenye kikao cha Nec, itasaidia kupunguza uhasama ndani ya chama hicho.
"Nasema uhasama ni suala la moyo wa mtu na la kibinadamu kabisa na mifano ni mingi tu. Lakini, watu wanapokuwa na uhasama, imani inabaki vile vile. Mimi nitaendelea kukemea ufisadi, rushwa na kama hilo ndilo litakuwa ni tatizo kwa CCM, basi nitakuwa tayari kwa hukumu yoyote ya Chama Cha Mapinduzi," alisema Spika Sitta na kuongeza:
"Kama nikikemea ufisadi au nikisema kwamba lazima tuwe wakali zaidi ni tatizo kwa CCM, basi nipo tayari kwa hukumu yoyote, eeh".

Wazungu wakubali kutulangua RADAR!
Tony Blair was at the centre of controversy over BAE's arms deal withTanzania, just as he was in the Saudi contracts.
Cabinet ministers Claire Short and Robin Cook had tried to stop the sale of the hugely expensive radar to the poverty- stricken Tanzanians. But, as prime minister, he overruled them and insisted that the deal had to go through.
It left Cook ruefully muttering that it seemed that Dick Evans, BAE's then chairman, seemed to have "the key to the garden door of No 10".
The World Bank and the International Civil Aviation Organisation judged that the 2001 purchase was unnecessary and overpriced.
But the £28m deal started to look even worse when the SFO discovered that a third of the contract's price had been diverted into secret offshore bank accounts.
The SFO believed that this money was used to pay bribes to Tanzanian politicians and officials.
Yesterday Short, who resigned from the government, said : "Every way you looked at it, it [the deal] was outrageous and disgraceful. And guess who absolutely insisted on it going through? My dear friend Tony Blair, who absolutely, adamantly, favoured all proposals for arms deals.
"It was an obviously corrupt project. Tanzania didn't need a new military air traffic control, it was out-of-date technology, they didn't have any military aircraft – they needed a civilian air traffic control system and there was a modern, much cheaper one. Everyone talks about good governance in Africa as though it is an African problem, and often the roots of the 'badness' is companies in Europe."
In Yesterday's agreement with the SFO, BAE admitted one offence under the 1985 Companies Act relating to the Tanzanian contract.
Dick Olver, the chairman, admitted that BAE "made commission payments to a marketing adviser and failed to accurately record such payments in its accounting records ... The company failed to scrutinise these records adequately to ensure that they were reasonably accurate and permitted them to remain uncorrected."
The SFO discovered that the money had gone into a Swiss bank account controlled by Sailesh Vithlani, a middleman of Indian extraction with a British passport.
He left Tanzania after the country's anti-corruption unit accused of lying to investigators. He is listed as wanted by Interpol.
