GIDABUDAY AMEANDIKA HAYA: TANZANIA OLYMPIC COMMITTEE: THE MOST CORRUPT INSTITUTION IN THE COUNTRY

The back yard team: "You can raise your flags only if you train at my house"

I understand the true meaning of Olympic Values, Olympic Movement and so many objectives supported, enforced and guided by the Olympic body (IOC), the institution that demonstrates all humane acceptable characters.  

Since last Olympic Games held in London; Tanzania has had a major national debate from urban to rural areas and the debates knocked the doors of Tanzania National Assembly in Dodoma. The media tried its best to get the truth about “if at all has the National Olympic Committee violated some (if) not all the rules and Codes of Ethics prohibited by the International Olympic Committee”.

The worst thing Tanzanians have witnessed during such nationally televised debates is that Tanzania Olympic Committee Officials have reacted with extreme anger, threats and even several times used provocative and offensive comments!!. (Evidence Available), However; we have discovered that some mid-level government officials and some members of IOC based in Africa are all covering up for corrupt officials of Tanzania Olympic Committee. ‘If that’s not the case; why so much silence from IOC’ while Tanzania continuous to suffer.

I represent a lot of people who need answers from International Olympic Committee about the following things:

Is it true that the (IOC) higher level members are covering up for TOC Secretary General just because he “is a former world record holder in the Mile and 1500 meters?. Can a world record be ‘A license to commit a crime”?

According to the (term) “all forms of conflict of interests must be avoided”; in IOC Code of Ethics list, what did they (IOC) mean exactly?!!. Analyze the following things;

Tanzania Olympic Team for 2012 London Games stayed at the premises of TOC General Secretary, he planned his own price and cashed himself. The premises are legally registered to the Secretary; the same person is also the member of Tanzania Athletics in which he is voting for himself and has the most influence of having all other members to vote on his fever. He is also the signatory of TOC, he receives the check and do whatever he wants ahead of everyone else. 

So if the reasons above are not the meaning of “Conflict of Interests”; then what is the meaning of it!!. “IOC may think that Africans can’t ask or demand to know their rights from Olympic Solidarity”. This is the beginning of a wakeup call to IOC, we won’t stop until we see intervention and condemnation with extreme measures by none other than the International Olympic Committee.

Another Code of Ethics: “The Olympic Parties shall guarantee the athlete’s conditions of safety, well-being and medical care favorable to their physical and mental equilibrium”. 

There was no doctor during training at the Secretary’s premises before London Games; however they may have fake financial documents as Doctors payments in their financial records as a cover-up. Athletes did not have enough to eat, as a result the athlete Musanduku Mohamed got sick soon as he arrived in London

Another Code of Ethics: “The income and expenditure of the Olympic parties shall be recorded in their accounts, which must be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. An independent auditor will check these accounts”.

It is alleged that the auditing company for TOC is owned by a member of TOC, no independent Auditor has ever been allowed to take a look at TOC financial records.

Another Code of Ethics:  “The Olympic resources of the Olympic parties may be used only for Olympic purposes”.

How comes the General Secretary is able to build his Sports Center BUT not national Center? Did Olympic Solidarity fever him as an individual over us as a nation? The record indicates that the Secretary in-acted his Sports Venue just after his first election! Is that not the question IOC should be concerned about?.

There is of course the Indian National Olympic Committee’s scandal that they bribed some IOC members $100,000 ahead of 2010 Commonwealth Games held in India, it may have been some kind of a ‘bribe’ in return for TOC to something that has to do with voting for them. No straight answer from TOC beside anger and deceptions.

TOC Elections in Dodoma: A prominent government official from Zanzibar was denied to observe the elections; the official is a Chairperson of Zanzibar Sports Council representing the Isles. The elections were held last December in Dodoma Tanzania.

The main Aim: We love all ideologies of Olympic Movements; we hope that IOC will cover for no one, we also hope that IOC will take quick and immediate action to investigate and punish the violators if found guilty. We hope that IOC will come to Tanzania to hear from us ‘victims’ like FIFA did month’s earlier.

We demand quick and clear answers from International Olympic Committee because no society on earth should supports corruption. Source: www.gidabuday.blogspot.com
