History of incorporation of TANZANET, 2001 - 2009

These data is provided in an abridged form, please refer to the TANZANET DIRECTORS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005, dated by the Chairman George Fumbuka(2004-2005).

Incorporation

The issue of whether or not Tanzanet should be incorporated (thereby achieving separate legal personality) was discussed at great length at various times in the past. It became a campaign item during the last 3 administrations (beginning with the chairpersonship of Dr Aziz Mlima(2001), Primus Nkwera(2002), then with that of Hassan Mbeju(2003) who essentially inherited the pro-incorporation Aziz manifesto). In the end, applications for incorporation were made during the second of these administrations.

Tanzanet was registered on 28 January 2004 as the Tanzania Electronic Networking Company Limited, with Certificate of Incorporation number 47994.

An Extraordinary General Meeting was held and the requisite resolutions passed to authorise the Executive Committee of the former Tanzanet (now the Board of Directors of the Company) to pursue the remaining mundane aspects of incorporation.

More importantly, it was also resolved that all Members of the former Tanzanet automatically became Members of the Company.

Certificate to Commence Business

Tanzanet Inc (as we now call our organisation) is a public company. As such, it could not legally commence any business until it has issued a Prospectus approved by the Capital Markets and Securities Authority and filed with the Registrar of Companies. Being a not-for-profit organisation, it was decided to invoke the provisions of Section 95 (3) of the Companies Ordinance rather than prepare a bankable Prospectus.

Instead, a Statement in Lieu of Prospectus was filed with the Registrar. On 18 January 2005 almost a year to the day since incorporation the Company received a Certificate to Commence Business. As such it was now ready to commence active operations, including the opening of accounts and so on and so forth.

Opening of bank Accounts

Tanzanet Inc succeeded to open two corporate accounts at CRDB Bank Limited, Azikiwe Branch, on 8 June 2005

Quote from Mr. L.G. Fumbuka, Email from 17-06-2009 on Subject: HATMA YA INC./progress report

 Quote from Hassan Mbeju on the same date:
 
"Labda kwa historia tu, huyu ndiye alikuwa Mwenyekiti wetu wakati wa uanzishwasi wa Inc.Ilani yake ilikuwa ni kuanzisha Inc, ikiungwa mkono na Uongozi uliomfuata baada ya kumaliza ngwe yake: kina Mlima Aziz, LGF, Mody Janabi, Salim Khatri, Emmanuel Muganda, na wengineo. Mchakato ulianza katika utawala wa Mbeju ukakamilika katika utawala wa LGF, ambaye  alikuwa muhusika mkuu katika pililkapilika na watu wa BRELA. Mara baada ya cheti kupatikana, Mwenyekiti Mbeju alikuja Dar es Salaam toka Cheshire UK wakaungana na LGF na Mwenyekiti wa zamani Nkwera na kigogo kijana machachari Salim Khatri kupokea cheti wakatangaza usajili wa Inc na mapicha ya yakatumwa."
