A
team of Tanzania Parliamentarins from Dodoma have come to
london on a diplomatic mission on how the people of
Tanzania will be paid back what belongs to them as .In 2001
BAE sold a £28million Watchman air traffic control system to Tanzania,
one of the world's poorest countries. The sale was funded through a
loan from Barclays Bank. The deal was backed by then Prime Minister
Tony Blair, but opposed by his International Development Secretary
Clare Short, who, though she had no evidence, said she did not think
the contract "could have been made cleanly". In 2002 the International
Civil Aviation Organisation said the system used dated technology and
was not adequate for civil aviation. Norman Lamb MP, who compiled a
dossier on the deal, said a modern system could have been provided for
10% of the cost.
