\"BAEBAE Systems has agreed to pay \u00a330m to the Tanzanian people in compensation<\/span><\/div>\n

A cross-party parliamentary group is urging the Tanzanian government to prosecute those guilty of corruption or bribery over the sale of a BAE Systems air traffic control package.<\/p>\n

The company, despite not being found guilty of corruption, has agreed to pay nearly \u00a330m compensation to Tanzania.<\/p>\n

The International Development Committee also wants any others involved in the deal to face prosecution.<\/p>\n

Tanzania’s government has pledged to pursue bribery allegations in court.<\/p>\n

The sale of a complex military air traffic control system by BAE Systems to Tanzania – one of the poorest countries in Africa – prompted an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office.<\/p>\n

BAE Systems agreed to pay compensation for failing to keep full accounting records of the deal. The money was meant to go towards education, paying for school books and equipment.<\/p>\n

But the Commons committee says it was appalled to find that the compensation has still not been paid.<\/p>\n

BAE Systems says it is now working with the Department for International Development as to how the money should be spent.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
