Taarifa za uhakika kutoka ndani ya shirika hilo na wadau mbalimbali wa masuala ya mafuta na gesi, zimeeleza kuwa kusimamishwa kazi kunatokana na ripoti ya Mdhibiti na Mkaguzi Mkuu (CAG) ya mwaka jana iliyoeleza kuwa, TPDC ilikiuka taratibu za manunuzi ya umma kwa kuipa upendeleo kampuni ya Marekani kutafiti mafuta na gesi katika maeneo ya kaskazini na magharibi mwa Ziwa Tanganyika, Songosongo, Mandawa na Eyasi.
“Shirika kwa sasa si salama, kwani mkurugenzi amepewa barua kutoka kwa mwenyekiti wa bodi kusimamishwa kazi kuanzia jana (Jumatano) kutokana na ripoti ya ukaguzi,” alisema mmoja wa watoa taarifa.
Hata hivyo, mpaka jana jioni hakukuwa na taarifa rasmi kuhusu kusimamishwa kazi kwa mkurugenzi huyo.
Katibu Mkuu wa Wizara ya Nishati na Madini, Profesa Justin Ntalikwa alipoulizwa kuhusu hatua hiyo, alisema anafahamu suala la kusimamishwa kazi kwa Dk Mataragio, lakini akaongeza kuwa, maelezo zaidi kuhusu maamuzi hayo anayo Mwenyekiti wa Bodi ya shirika hilo, Profesa Sufian Bukurura.
Hata hivyo, Mwenyekiti huyo alipotafutwa kwa simu kutoa taarifa rasmi za kusimamishwa kazi kwa mkurugenzi huyo, hakupatikana kwani mara zote simu yake ilisema inatumika.

The chief secretary further said the president was optimistic that Dr Mataragio will use his education, experience and expertise to overhaul TPDC to become a real development engine and take the nation’s economy to new heights.

We will be following his progress with great interest, and are sure that he will bring a breadth of skill and experience to this role that will ensure that TPDC has a significant impact on exploration and production in Tanzania”.
