Presiding Bishop of the Lutheran Church in Tanzania Rt. Rev. Malasusa is washing his dirty hands with tears.

The Secretary of EAWM a Lutheran Austrian Development Association writes the following statement in repyl to a newspaper article published today in Tanznia. The article follows the statement of the EAWM secretary.

"As general secretary of an Austrian church NGO, who terminated collaboration with ELCT in 2006, I can only smile about the words of the Presiding Bishop of ELCT. There is the problem of systemic corruption in ELCT. A short look at the website of the Lutheran Mission Co-operation (www.lmc.or.tz) will show that a lot of programmes and projects are pending and mission financial statements or sufficient reports.
From my own experiece I know, that the former ELCT SCD Bishop Shadrack Manyiewa was responsible (there are independent audit reports !) for the embezzlement of minimum EUR 280.000 Euros (= 420.000.000 TSH) and he has to face NO legal action.
Parts of ELCT leadership and some northern partners from Germany are knowing very well that there is a network of nepotism, systemic corruption and abuse of human rights in ELCT - when Rt. Rev.Malasusa is now bemoaning, he is either very naive or he tries to wash his dirty hands with his tears !

Cleric bemoans grand corruption 2008-03-11 10:09:30

By Judica Tarimo, just back from Zanzibar

The Head of Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (ELCT), Bishop Alex Malasusa, has expressed disappointment over high-profile graft and massive embezzlement of national resources by few people at the expense of millions of poor Tanzanians.The bishop made the remarks on Sunday at a fund-raising function for construction of the ELCT mission branch at Mwanakwerekwe Parish in Zanzibar.``I am really disappointed by these people. They embezzle public funds while millions of Tanzanians are suffering from hunger and lack of basic needs,`` he said.According to the cleric, the majority of Tanzanians are facing critical socio-economic problems-lack of reliable transport, food, clean water, quality health services and other essentials services because of financial constraints triggered by massive mcorruption and embezzlement of funds by a greedy few.He urged those involved to fear God, change their behaviour and work honestly and diligently for the benefit of all.``These people must be concerned with the welfare of majority of Tanzanians rather than enriching themselves and their families. They need to put the interest of the nation ahead and not abuse public office,`` said Bishop Malasusa.The fund raising attracted clerics from ELCT and other church denominations, believers from different sects, ordinary people and prominent personalities including IPP Executive Chairman Reginald Mengi and Managing Director and owner of Dar Express Bus Services Company Ltd, Yudica Mremi.A total of 65m/-, being pledges and cash money, was collected during the occasion.The church had targeted to raise a total 50m/- for the envisaged project. Mengi and Mremi were among the contributors.Addressing the congregation, Mengi appealed to religious leaders to advise people who wanted to confess for squandering public funds to return the stolen money first.``When these people come to you to confess, you should tell them to return the money. Before accepting their confession, you need to ask them `have you returned the money`? said Mengi.He said clerics and religious leaders generally, were better positioned to enlighten corrupt leaders who had siphoned public resources and funds to return the money.``If this money is returned, the church will be relieved of extra responsibility of engaging in public services delivery such as education, health, and other social and economic development engagements,`` he said.Mengi also appealed to church goers and other Tanzanians to cultivate the culture of giving to others as a gesture of thanking God who created the wealth and money possessed by today�s people.``Always ask yourself why me. You are eating while others are suffering from hunger. Why me? You are dressing while others have no clothes.Why me? You are physically fit while others are disabled. Why me? So, you have to thank God who gave you by giving to the have-nots,`` he said.

Das NMZ hat sich jahrelang aktiv and der Korruptionsförderung in Makete und der Lutherischen Kirche in Tanzania beteiligt und arbeitet weiter mit der kriminellen und die Menschenrechte brechende Kirche zusammen.

Ich erhalt vom Afrikareferenten des NMZ das folgende Mail.

Ich verbreitet keine Gerüchte, was ich schreibe ist gut belegbar. Andere zu beschuldigen, dass sie sich die Wirklichkeit zurechtbiegen ist eine altbekannte Methode jener, die ihren Stall nicht in Ordnung halten können.



Sehr geehrter Herr Dr. Brandl,
Nur um der Verbreitung weiterer Gerüchte nicht Vorschub zu leisten :
Die Protokollnotizen meines Vortrags auf der Tagung der Missionsakademie in Hamburg zum Thema Korruption waren von mir nicht autorisiert. Bei der von ihnen angesprochenen Passage handelt es sich um ein Mißverständnis.
Um Sie vor der irrtümlichen Annahme zu bewahren, daß dies von meiner Seite eine Wiederaufnahme des Briefwechsels mit Ihnen sei, noch einmal zur Klarstellung :
Jemand, der zur Erreichung seiner Ziele - und mögen sie noch so ehrenwert sein - sich die Wirklichkeit zurechtbiegt, Unwahrheiten verbreitet und gezielt und bewußt Menschen verleumdet, ist für mich kein Gesprächspartner.
Alles, was von meiner Seite dazu zu sagen ist, können Sie meinen Schreiben vom 22.1. und 30.1.07 entnehmen, die ich Ihnen hier noch einmal anfüge. Dem ist grundsätzlich nichts hinzuzufügen.
Wenn Sie sich darüber ärgern wollen, tun Sie das.
Ob sie jemanden finden, der Ihnen hilft, sich von der Fixierung auf Ihre selbstgebastelten Feindbilder zu lösen, weiß ich nicht. Ich wünsche es Ihnen.

KPS - Kirchenprovinz Sachsen und die Entwickungshilfe

Folgendes Mail erhalte ich vom zuständigen Vertreter der KPS (Kirchenprovinz Sachsen) in Makteburg Ende 2006, die externen Buchprüfungsunterlagen der Partnerdiözese der KPS aus Makete ware damals schon 10 Monate in den Händen der Missionen, so auch der KPS. Der Schreiber hat dann endlich doch versucht, sich ein Bild über den eigenen Beitrag der Korruptionsfinanzierung und der Diebstähle zu machen.

Ich habe den Namen des Referenten herausgenommen, da mir der Inhalt ein weites Problem der Arbeit der Missionen und deren "Entwicklungshilfe" und von offensichtlich vielen kirchlichen Werken darzustellen scheint:

Unprofessionalität im Umgang mit Spendengeldern. Man/frau (Mission, Gruppe, Pfarre, PastorIn) weiß nichtmal was mit den überwiesenen Geldern passiert, es gibt offensichtlich keine Systeme der Kontrolle, der Berichtlegung, der Rechenschaft und der Hinterfragung der Sinnhaftigkeit der "Hilfe". Oder wenn Systeme vorgegeben oder eingegührt werden, dann weiß man nicht genau was dort passiert, obwohl man selber drinnen sitzt, auch die KPS hat Vertreter mit Stimmrecht im LMC (Lutheran Mission Counsel) in Tanzania, dass jedes Jahr die Verteilung der Gelder vornimmt und zur Kenntnis nimmt, dass aus den letzten Jahren fast alle Finanz und Projektberichte fehlen - macht nichts, weiter mit den Überweisungen.

Die Information der Spender fehlt und die Besitzer der Nachlässe, die sind lange tot und verlangen keine Rechenschaft.

Der Hinweis in dem Mail auf das LMC (Lutheran Mission Counsil) in dem in Tansania die Vertreter der Missionen mit Sitz und Stimme mit den Vertretern der Afrikanischen Kirchen zusammensitzen, ist insofern befremdlich, als auch der Schreiber des Mails dort persönlich vertreten ist, mitbestimmt und Berichte vorgelegen bekommt und absegnen muss.

Ich habe in meinen Augen wesentliche Teile fett hervorgehoben.

Die Umrechnung von TSH auf Euro kann man unter http://www.oanda.com/ machen, um ein Gefühl für die Größenordnung zu bekommen, allerdings wurde der TSH in den letzten Jahren stark abgwertet, das ist bei der Eingabe des Datums zu beachten!

Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 4:03 PMTo: Rainer BrandlCc: EAWMSubject: Unklarheit über die Gelder in Tanzania

Lieber Rainer,

ich habe jetzt endlich einmal versucht, mir nach der Aktenlage ein Bild
zu machen, wo welches Geld von der KPS eigentlich hingebucht worden ist,
um exakt sagen zu können, wieviel ich theoretisch von der SCD
zurückfordern kann, bzw. als "unreported" bzw. unterschlagen oder
mißbraucht abzuschreiben habe.

Erstes Ergebnis: Ich hatte nicht gedacht, dass es so schwierig ist und
so lange dauert! Es ist auch wirklich sehr kompliziert, da das Geld ja
über den LMC gegangen ist, und ich kaum Unterlagen darüber habe, warum
vom LMC auf welcher Grundlage Buchungen auf die SCD Konten gemacht
worden sind. Dazu kommt, dass die Abkürzungen alle so ähnlich aussehen
und mir öfter mal Bezeichnungs- oder Zuordnungsfehler passierten. (Die
Komplikationen und das Problem der Zeitkapizitäten mag ein Grund auch
meiner Kollegen sein, nicht einfach mit Zahlen rauszurücken. Es ist eben
sehr kompliziert, einen Verlust oder eine Unterschlagung dingfest zu
machen. Im Grunde genommen kann ich das nach eineinhalb Tagen Recherche
auch noch nicht!)

Zweites, bzw. erstes richtiges Ergebnis:
Bis zum Juni 2003 als Generalsekretär Chaula und Projektsekretär Mtawa
von einem Tag auf den anderen gefeuert worden sind, gibt es eigentlich
eine ganz gute Kommunikation und keine Hinweise auf Unterschlagungen.
Selbst kleine Beträge werden gut abgerechnet. Es hat vor allem Probleme
mit dem Zeitplan gegeben; das Solarprojekt trat auf der Stelle und fast
das ganze Geld, das die KPS überwiesen hatte, lag unbenutzt herum.
Erst seit die neuen Mitarbeiter im Headquarter sind, gibt es kein
erkennbares Bild mehr, wer was mit welchem Geld getan hat oder welche
vorübergehende, dann aber gescheiterte Zwischenfinazierung, praktiziert
wurde. (Ich denke, dass die 14 Millionen, die der Projektsekretär und
der GS für einen Buskauf ausgeben wollten - mit Zustimmung der KPS - die
anderen Diözesenmitarbeiter veranlasst haben, einen Strich zu ziehen und
andere Finanzprioritäten durchzusetzen. Es ist zu einem Machtkampf
gekommen, dessen weitreichende Folgen niemand abgesehen hat und wohl
auch kaum wollte. Der hieraus erwachsene Verlust an Kompetenz und
Übersicht über Zweckbestimmungen hat erst den Kontrollverlust verursacht
und bestimmt auch Rache- und Obstruktionsgelüste ausgelöst, ab Mitte 2003!)

Drittens
Den neuen Mitarbeitern scheint es geglückt zu sein, das LMC office zu
Zahlungen zu veranlassen, ohne vorher hinreichend berichtet und
abgerechnet zu haben und ohne neue Pläne für die Geldverwendung
vorzulegen. Es sieht so aus, dass von den KPS Geldern erst im Mai 2005
nocheinmal erhebliche Beträge an die SCD gegangen sind.

Viertens
Hier meine Zahlen über die unnachgewiesenen Gelder der KPS Projekte
2001-2003:

Aus dem Solarenergie-Programm: 34,4 Mio bisher ohne Verwendungsnachweis
(ich würde noch nicht sagen "gestohlen"!)

Aus dem Biogas-Programm: 9,5 Mio ohne Nachweis; 6,9 Millionen TSH sind
noch verfügbar.

Aus dem SACCOS-Programm: 12,2 Mio ohne Nachweis

Aus dem Laden mit Saat und landwirtschaftlichen Produkten: 2,2 Mio ohne
Nachweis; 7,1 Millionen TSH sind noch verfügbar.

Insgesamt fehlen also von der KPS nicht mehr als 60 Millionen, und es
kann ja sein, dass es noch über einige Millionen plausible Erklärungen
gibt, die ich nur noch nicht kenne. Ich habe Lars für den LMC um
Stellungnahme gebeten; vor allem auch darüber, wie er es begründet, im
Mai 2005 noch Projektgelder an SCD ausgegeben zu haben!

ends--------

Lars Hofgren ist der Sekretär des LMC und ein Missionar und Pastor aus Schweden, die Gelder, die noch verfügbar sind, sind bis heute vermutlich nicht aufgetaucht. Die Sache steckt bis heute fest und die Summen, die anderr Werke überwiesen haben waren weit größer. Dazu ein andermal.

Die im Mail angegebenen Projekte sind laut Angaben des Wirtschaftstreuhänders Rayben Sanga nicht existent. Die "noch verfügbaren" Beträge sind offensichtlich noch immer irgendwie anders verwendet.

A reply from a public accountant in Tanzania

Honourable Speaker, Members of the Holy House and my Fellow Activists of the Poor, Voiceless and Victims of Aid Fatigue,

May I join the opposer of the motion with both my arms and legs to congratulate him for speaking on our behalf so eloquently, truthfully, humbly and obediently in defence of what we have stood for in the last two years. Dr Rainer has summarised a long debate into an exhaustive summary which I believe represents the views held those who have been at loggerheads with the men of cloth both at home and abroad. The events in SCD in December 2007 that culminated to the change of the leadership there through the power of the ballot speak of itself on the resolve of the believers in Makete, my beloved land. History has been made and will rest in the books and records for years to come.

It is unfortunate that while the files show that the proposer sent me a copy of this motion, I have not seen one to date. Therefore I am reacting from the copy on the opposer's mail copied to me.

It is fitting that the proposer of the motion found it fitting and appropriate to present his case as we start the new year. I pay a tribute to the Hon Man in the Cloth for selecting such as opportune moment in time. This is not a war against individuals rather a crusade to speak out the truth, the truth and only the truth. Help me God!

Allow me Hon Speaker to first make some technical statements in order to put issues to rest.
1. It is a fact beyond reasonable doubt that financial mismanagement, frauds, thefts and falsification of books of accounts were committed in SCD of the ELCT. These facts were examined and testified by independent persons called external auditors after it was shamefully discovered that the internal watchdogs known as internal auditors had been corroborating with the would be thieves and robbers of money meant for the poor, voiceless and marginalised folks in the land of Makete , a part of the world called Tanzania. Mr Speaker these professionals presented their written reports in which the alleged thefts, frauds, falsifications were committed without even the fear of their sacred belief in the God they so strongly seem to uphold....sic. The summary of all the damage done over the years since 2002, as revealed by the cooked audit report from internal watchdogs was established at Tz shs 440 millions ( within three years).
2. It is also a fact Mr Speaker that while the providers of the development and social aid money had the implicit knowledge that no reports were forthcoming from the receiver ( SCD)they failed to take necessary steps to stop the damage that was being perpetuated. They money hungry folks were eating without washing their hands as if were refugees in a food shortage camp. Mr Speaker, the controller of the donor money known as the LCM , a kind of IMF for the local ELCT failed to exercise due care demanded of them even when they were receiving falsely reports from the spending unit. Hon Speaker, the LCM reports are there to prove this situation for years 2004, 2005 & 2006.
3. It is also a fact Mr. Speaker that the Management of the Unit ( SCD) through its Probe Team established and reported in early 2005, the alleged thefts, frauds, misappropriations and falsification of books were indeed real not a James Bond kind of episode.
4. It is also a fact Hon. Speaker that, the Presiding Bishop initiated a probe into the alleged financial mismanagement and maladministration in the SCD. While the report failed to establish the root causes and conditions of the crisis in the unit, however it did confirm that indeed the alleged criminal offences were committed before the noses of the internal 'IMF'. The report lacked the technical rigour and facts typical of what is termed management or performance audit.
5. It is also a fact that even the so called partners of the developed North took no notice of the appalling events or even standing up strongly and firmly in defence of beneficiaries of the looted monies. It was alleged that doing so would be tantamount to colonialism. Mr Speaker, I submit that keeping quite was worse than claimed colonial preposition because, as we witness today, all the projects in the unit are damn dead including the Hospital that was once the cradle of this unit. The fuel pump station is bankrupt, the vocational school is closed, staff have been without pay for months if not years, the solar, bio gas and other projects whose money was received by the SCD remain paper stories good for the archives.
4. Mr Speaker, a partnership is a relationship that subsists between two equal and willing partners. They must be a common understanding of what that partnership seeks to achieve. So we can have a partnership to mine Tanzanite with the understanding of sharing the profits equally or otherwise. I wish to move before this House that , the so called partnership existing between the men of cloth of Africa and Europe is one of un equally partners. It is natural truth and is there to see. How can we argue that a man who survives by a dollar a day is equal to one spending 100 dollars a day? This is an insult of human intellect if not the story of the blind man and his feeling about the elephant he was touching. To him the elephant was the reference of the whole world!
5. Mr Speaker it is therefore hard to swallow the argument that put pressure on the SCD was tantamount to colonial behaviour, claimed dead and buried. How could men of cloth, examples of a good Samaritan, just walk past the poor and voiceless of my land Makete as they cried for help without any neighbour bothering to give a helping hand? How can people of my land believe the good news brought by the white man being preached to them if there is nobody in their defence? Then whose thy neighbour?
6. Mr Speaker, the people of my land have for edges known about democracy. I have grown in the village to see it work in favour of the majority. My people don't have a replica word for democracy, but it has been there since my granddad's father and before. My people knew about Economics than the gurus of America put together.
7. Mr Speaker my people in Bulongwa affected the animal called HIV-AIDS continue to suffer since April 2006 as victims of sh ere politicking among men of the cloth and their desire to keep a closed system alien to all and sundry. These victims have not had their cd4 count or liver test for months because there in no doctor in Bulongwa Hospital. The men of the cloth have decided to close their eyes as they cry wishing they were dead than live suffering with bitterness. Where is the good Samaritan Mr Speaker? My people want an answer from this Honourable House. Some could not see Christmas as they lay tormented with fever and others were so weak and in poor condition even to notice it was Christmas time? Where are the men of cloth?
7. Mr Speaker, soon it will be two years since the crimes committed against the innocent poor and sick were done against them by a stroke of a pen....sic. The thieves of their money and aid are as free as air molecules. Mr Speaker I people are asking where is equality, where is equally opportunity, where is good governance, where is the animal called law, where are their protectors, where are their friends, where are those who said they loved them? The closed system in the men of the cloth does not here these cries. They are busy protecting their interests at whatever cost. When my people protested to their friends, the men of cloth in the other world, they were told they called the wrong number. Now they say yes, we FEEL there are sins committed in SCD. Oh God, bless my people and help them not call an eye for an eye , a tooth for a tooth!



Mr Speaker, the poor and the voiceless in the land of Makete, the roots of my granddad and mom are passing through a very hard time as their sons and daughters have been left dying of HIV-Aids, TB and malaria. The cry of my people is to revamp the medical services at Bulongwa with doctors, medical supplies, help for the orphans, widows, widowers, proper attention of all HIV-AIDS patients under trained and qualified professionals. My people want justice, they want the church to take legal action against the robbers and thieves of their money donated by the meaning people abroad. My people want the cyflow machines now lying idle to be deployed and save innocent lives. My people want all projects revived; water supply, solar, bio gas, vocational school etc. My people do not want chocolates, they have enough wheat, maize, fruits, vegetables, beans, potatoes, name it.

Mr Speaker and Hon Members of the House, I thank you for listening to my contribution and hope you will join me to congratulate our brother in arms, Dr Rainer Brandl for representing us opposers so effectively in this motion. Thank you Mr Speaker.

He interpreted my words according to his wishes and needs in thecommon way of not putting on the desk all the known facts and inventingthings which never happened (like outsiders asking for the resignation of abishop) or were surely not the core problem in the whole fraud saga in theresponsibility of the ELCT/LMC/Mission complex.The core problem here is still the death of people suffering undermistreatment, abuse of human rights (by closing their clinic and threateningits staff), theft, forgery and inaction of ELCT authorities, especially thetheft of donor and government money designated to serve the poor is still apain in the heart of many.This situation was since years facilitated by donors who did not make surethat contracts and agreements were kept/set and that resources were used inthe agreed way. They went on pouring money into this system and are going onto present the issue as a never ending story which has to be discussed againand again within their own circles only. This is a strategy of delayingthings while others suffer under the situation.NMZ, Mission ONE World and KPS are to my opinion - not the only - but someof the worst examples for a bad performance in developing "aid" where moneyand other resources given for progress ends up in stagnation, frustration,nepotism and often criminal vices.In the international literature much is published about the devastatingeffects of corruption (some even by the missions itself) and it stays amiracle why they find it so difficult and complicated and why they takeyears to implement better ways of dealing with aid money and transforming itfrom "killing, antidemocratic and suppressing money" to a source reallyfostering development and happy life!HIV/AIDS treatment is simple but needs commitment and good laboratorymonitoring in order to be highly effective (One may read the manypublications of Doctors without borders or Dr. Paul Farmer from HarvardUniversity, the write up or the attached report of the HAART Program inBulongwa - to understand at least a bit). The crucial issue at present isthat side effects and well known world wide experiences are not any longertaken in account in Bulongwa - this kills and was reported to all of you -nobody cared, the clinic is not running according to the MoH schedules.The well working clinic was destroyed by ELCT for still officially unknownreasons and even a starting point of a discussion would be to come out withan official statement and giving reasons for the lock out! Well, Iunderstand this is the way of dealing things here!(Much has been said and so called "expertise" was circulated byrepresentatives of the Lutheran Church from members from all over the worldwhich was obviously taken in account but the main players were never asked.Anyway the clinic never again worked in the former quality).This is not acceptable and cannot only be connected to a simple failure anda criminal case in SCD. This is going MUCH further! Therefore I am allegingpeople to be structural killers or accomplices who are financing thesestructures for much too long a time. I am very firm in the opinion, thatthese people should be made legally responsible and the people who sufferunder such situations have the right and information to act. Missions andELCT neglect these rights!Unluckily the legal systems are not properly working and are still corruptedor overworked in TANZANIA. This is an advantage taken by the ELCT and itsfinanciers.Unluckily the high level corruption in the MoH in Tanzania (newspapersextensively reported about the issues of HIV Tests and cd4 counters) isworking hand in hand here with the corruption within ELCT in Arusha.Tanzania has a long way to go and Missions are hindering progress here byhaving financed and are still protecting CORRUPT AND CRIMINAL SYSTEMS. Theonly way here to come out would be 100% transparency and fair legal action -this is not seen on the horizon. Unluckily, it is not the case that theLutheran Church is morally integer. It needs the law in order to protectinnocent and the church as any other denomination or organization is notabove it.Hiding and legal insecurity makes it easy for donors to actively deal theissues in a way they could never dare to do in their own home countries. Tome this reflects colonialism and discrimination of people of differentwealth: Poor are still denied their rights! To my opinion this is a kind of social racism!Donors spoil development towards a fair society by increasing differences inwealth. The one who has access to contacts and money will prosper, theothers will suffer even more!Donors obviously cannot show books and reports making one trust aboutsuccess. In the LMC report there are just requests to the donors for moremoney and progress is not seen and written down in a form giving somebodythe chance to justify the resources invested.Differently, EAWM can present receipts and accounts for any cent spent forthe HAART program. This was a request of the co-funding Austrian government.That Christian organizations/missions are participating here is not onlypainful - it is disgusting and a SCANDAL. They should give the very oppositeexample to the world.Their secretaries and LMC act like not being part of any responsibility butare going on to pouring money into this systems. And the speed of change isincredible slow in case there is any at all. Up to now there are only talksand criminal actions against people who criticize and demand justice.I and many others are advocating for a full stop of donor monies (for allthe responsible - even ELCT as a whole as there are indications of fraudsthere) in any case of any irregularities. ELCT has a long way to go in thatsense - as LMC has.I do not feel comfortable with this kind of "communication" here any longeras I believe that giving out interpretations, wrong information orcirculating misleading statements is a common pattern in the relatedchurch/missions agencies and I will not get again in a senselessannouncements of facts and proves as they have been announced again andagain. It does not help to ask for them again and again and state that wehave no facts if people like V. Schauer and his colleagues are obviously notable to read.I have taken and will go on taking other measures but will especially forMr. Schauer write my comments in BOLD down here. There is no need to go onreading all this, as it will be boring for many - but as he asked and nevercame back to my mails again when I explained to him I am doing this replyfor documentation. He might use it. I am repeating things down there againand again and the underlying facts have been communicated many times.Much has been said by many from the church, which makes me confident thatyou know much more and better about the well documented frauds, but you andlisteners from the church are still not willing to actively correct themistakes. I since ever tried to communicate, that for example V. Schauer wasnot able to read all the friendly mails to NMZ in the course of the recentyears is a pity. That he just feels to reply when he feels personallyinsulted says enough.I stick to the opinion, that the related donors here and the ELCT since thevery beginning failed to follow the basic rules of communication as theywere not coming back to many mails, which were issued even in a confidentialway since a long time. It is unfortunate that V. Schauer gives a wrongimpression here. He failed to act as ELCT and LMC did.This shows that the public and media are very important to induce a change.And they already did give a voice to the people. This is also a well knowncommon and widely published fact of development research. No need to provideproves. One may read books.The ELCT is alleging the government for corruption and AT THE SAME TIMEfails to show accountability and a corruption free church. This is hypocrisyto a major extend. It is the same hypocrisy as the ongoing discussion aboutthe frauds in their own organizations while at the same time excludingpeople who citizen them by putting facts and papers on their desks.It should be the ELCT, LMC and missions to apologize to all who had sufferedunder the criminal situation.And yes:I believe that ELCT is a criminal organization as it cannot assure the rightuse of donor monies and yes I believe that connected missions a accomplicesand responsible for the death of people, as I believe and experienced thatcorrupt money kills and surely serves the opposite of development and thesituation and "discussion" here goes on for much too long a time, withouttangible results.If things in Makete changed a bit, the foundation was laid by the action ofPIUMA and the connected community and some few honest in the local church. Iheard that Jackson Mbogela and PIUMA were invited to cooperate with thelocal church because these proud Tanzanians were part of the success anddriving force in changes which slowly start to happen.People suffering for example under HIV/AIDS do not have years to wait tillthe issues are (un?)likely solved after months or years and till money might(!) be used correctly. They are suffering under the corrupt money and wouldprobably be much better off without having this money spoiling theirsociety.Missions are much faster in collecting money in the name of "the poor" thanthey are in undertaking the task to make sure that this money is not endingup in the pockets of criminals.To my opinion, this stays as a shame and a crime, a complete and shamelessabuse of people who are already sick and poor - sometimes it seems the aimis to frustrate them even further in order to keep the status quo.Vicky Ntetema - the bureau chief of the BBC in Dar es Salaam - once wrote anote about the sexual abuses in the catholic church and the pattern ofavoiding to get out the truth! We know these cases from all over the world,recently a alleged similar incidence happened in an institution of theLutheran Church in Germany and the public talk was many times rather dealingwith the alleged man and his dignity, the fear of loss of donor money andjobs, than dealing with the suffering of the victims. Things have to becleared actively and openly in such cases and in a fair way avoiding wrongjudgments of course, BUT the victims are core.When it comes to money the ELCT and many Missions are showing the samestrategy of hiding and dealing things as "internal matters" in order not todamage the church ("from outside" - which they have already done by theirwrong strategy since years anyway), but they never talk about the victims -in case of SCD/ELCT and BLH this showed a deadly effect.Not being held responsible and protecting the culprits for too long a timeand TOTALLY forgetting the victims.This kind of behavior and indicating press releases and reports one can seethroughout the world when it comes to religious organizations. There is aculture of hiding and downplaying things for which an average citizen orother sectors of the society would end up in court cases and if proven truein jail in no time. Human beings working in the church use the "untouchable"and " being good" status of the religious organizations in order not to betaken responsible for their unprofessional behavior, their failures andsometimes criminal acts.I would expect ELCT and others to apologize in front of the community andall believers, as all well meaning supporters who worked according to theircontracts, instead of trying to again being busy to put blame and shame onpeople who - much to late - talked about the criminal deeds in the veryheart of the Lutheran Church.Up to now NOBODY was officially made responsible and no criminal case wascleared! A lot of efforts were taken to deal with people who talk aboutfraud, theft and other criminal vices. Their human and legal rights wereviolated. The behavior of ELCT and missions is disrespectful and notacceptable.They are guilty for delaying, rumor mongering, giving out false reports andmisleading the public!Not the people who talked about facts are the problem, the problem is themoney and that up to now nobody knows officially where it went.

Subject: South Central DioceseHamburg, 22.1.2007

Dear Dr. Brandl,Since about one year I get your circular mails several times a week. In Yourmail from 31st of December you wrote to me for the first time personally. SoI take the opportunity to answer you and as I am one of the acting personsyou are generally attacking and criticising in your mails I will give you mypersonal reaction. We don't know each other personally, though I am in contact with the SouthCentral Diocese since the middle of the eighties, but at times, when I wasthere you were not, or I didn't meet you. Let me start with giving you some information about me. I started my work asAfrica secretary of the Northelbian Mission Centre ( NMZ ) in April 2005 andI am responsible for the partnership work of my church which takes place onvarious levels ( parish, district, church level ). Our partner churches inAfrica are the lutheran churches in Tanzania, Kenya and DR Congo.

I HAVE STOPPED MY EDUCATION AS A SURGEON AND COMPLETELY CONCENTRATED ONHIV/AIDS AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES AFTER HAVING VISITED TANZANIA THE FIRSTTIME in 2003 IN ORDER TO COME BACK TO IMPLEMENT A - VERY SUCCESSFUL -HIV/AIDS TREATMENT PROGRAMME, WHICH WAS UNIQUE IN MANY WAYS FOR TANZANIA.MANY VOLUNTEERS FROM THE WAKINGA COMMUNNITY, THE MEDIA AND FROM ALL OVER THEWORLD HELPED AND INVESTED TIME, FEELINGS, THEIR HEARTS, HOPES AND MONEY! BUT THE LEADERSHIP OF THE PATIENTS AND THE COMMUNITY WAS CORE!THIS STRATEGY WAS WRITTEN DOWN (Word file is attached) IN AGREEMENTS WITHTHE BISHOP OF SCD/ELCT AND WE TRIED TO STRICTLY FOLLOW THESE AGREEMENTS,WHILE SCD/ELCT DID NOT DO SO FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, ESPECIALLY WHEN ITCAME TO FINANCES AND PROMISED TECHNICAL SUPPORT.I WORKED FOR A VERY MINOR SALARY (500 - 1000 Euro) USED EVEN A LOT OF MYPRIVATE FINANCIAL RESSOURCES AND CONTRIBUTED A LOT OF VOLUNTARILY WORK ANDCOMMUNICATION TO ALL PARTNERS, EVEN TO THE NMZ FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. ISTILL HAVE THE E-MAILS.ALL THE COMTRACTS AND WRITE UPS ARE IN POSSESION OF SCD AND ELCT HAS BEENCOMPREHENSIVLEY INFORMED ABOUT THE HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES AND PROBLEMSCONCERNING THE LOCK OUT OF THE PROGRAM THROUGH THE SCD AND ELCT. EAWM CANPROVIDE COPIES AND EVEN THE ORIGINALS OF THE CONTRACTS AND LETTERS.I HAVE QUITE WORK EXPERIENCE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AND AS A DOCTOR I AMWELL TRAINED AND WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TO SERVE THE PEOPLE THROUGH THE CHURCHAS RELIBALE AND HIGHLY ETHICAL PARTNER, THIS WAS PROMISED BUT DID NOTMATERIALIZE BECAUSE ELCT IS NOT ETHICAL AND HONEST.MISSIONS, ELCT AND ESPECIALLY THE BAVARIAN MISSION AND LMC ARE GIVING OUTMISLEADING INFORMATION SINCE ABOUT THREE YEARS NOW. THEY TRIED SINCE TODECLARE THE PEOPLE TO A PROBLEM, WHO ARE TALKING ABOUT FRAUDS WITHIN THEIROWN ORGANIZATIONS. NOT THE PROBLEM, THIS HAS BEEN SAID MANY TIMES.

In Tanzania we have relations to several dioceses. One of them is the SCD.NMZ has a long relationship with the SCD and a lot of partnership work isgoing on on parish and district level.


THESE RELATIONS SHOULD HELP YOU TO SHOW GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY AND SHOWSTHAT YOU HAVE INDEED USED MANY RESSOURCES THERE (OR "THE GROUPS") AND YOU DONOT KNOW IF THIS HAS DONE ANY GOOD. IT IS JUST A STATEMENT FROM YOUR SIDEWITHOUT ANY PROOF. YOU ARE TELLING US THAT A LOT IS GOING ON, WELL, THEINDICATIONS ARE SAYING THAT A LOT IS GOING WRONG EVEN AT THE PARISH LEVEL.WHERE ARE THE FRUITS?AT PRESENT I DO THINK THAT YOU DID MORE HARM THAN GOOD - BY THE USE OF TOOMUCH UNCONTROLLED MONIES. I DO NOT THINK THAT THE OUTCOME IS POSITIVECOMPARED TO THE MONEY AND RESSOURCES INVESTED. AT WEBPAGES AND CALLS FORDONATIONS MISSIONS STILL COLLECT FOR PROJECTS WERE THEY FAIL TO SHOW THATTHE MONEY REACHES THE POOR OR SERVES ITS PURPOSE! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOINFORMATION WHICH COULD BE PROVEN RIGHT OR WRONG.IF MISSIONS WOULD HAVE A SYSTEM - IT IS THEIR FAULT THAT THEY HAVE NOT ! -ALL OF THESE THINGS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. SUCH SYSTEMS EXIST AND ARE USEDBY BUSINESS PEOPLE FORM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND SERVE THE ETHICS OF TRUST ANDGOOD RELATIONS AND HONESTY.

The situation in the South Central Diocese is sad and it is clear that moneyhas been misused and in some cases as in the BLH it is clear that it hasbeen stolen. As far as this we might agree with each other.

NO!NO!!! WE CLEARLY DO NOT AGREE, AS YOU ARE AGAIN AND AGAIN ONLY TALKING ABOUTBLH and NOT TALKING ABOUT THE STOLEN FUNDS AND ASSETS IN OTHER PROJECTS INPARTICULAR AT THE HEADQUARTERS/BISHOPS OFFICE AND NEARLY EVERY PROJECT OFTHE SOUTH CENTRAL DIOCESE SINCE YEARS. THE FACTS WERE EXTENSIVELYCOMMUNICATED TO ELCT, THE MISSIONS, LMC AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS. YOU DO NOTNEED TO ASK FOR FACTS OR PROOVES - THEY ARE ON YOUR DESK SINCE LONG.TO MY OPINION YOU ARE INTENTIONALLY DOWNPLAYING THE SCANDAL AND SYSTEMICCORRUPTION AND THEFT IN THE WHOLE SYSTEM HERE.A SYSTEM OF ELCT ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN IS NOT ONLY A SCD HOPSPITAL CASE.IT GOES TO THE VERY HEAD AND HEART IN ARUSHA. ALSO I DO NOT AGREE, THAT ONLYTHE SCD IS IN A "SAD" SITUATION (YOUR LANGUAGES IS INDEED AMBIGOUS HERE!),THERE ARE WELL KNOWN CASES IN OTHER DIOCESES TOO, AS YOU SHOULD BE WELLINFORMED. IF YOU ARE NOT, YOU BETTER GO AND READ FIRST. I THOUGHTRESPONISBLE MANAGERS LIKE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE INFORMED.I WOULD BELIEVE THAT LACK OF ANY KIND OF PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOUR AND ACTIONIS TYPICAL FOR MANY HERE, THAT LEADS TO THE SITUATION OF RUMOR MONGERING ANDACCUSES AND BLAME AND COUNTER BLAME.


Together with the Bavarian Mission and the KPS and my colleagues there andtogether with the ELCT we try to work on the situation. We from the Germanside are very clear, that we want to know, where the missing money has gone,if it has been misused or stolen ( which makes a difference ), and we wantconsequences to be taken concerning the financial and administrationalmanagement in the SCD.

YES YOU TRY TO WORK, THIS SEEMS TO BE THE RIGHT EXPRESSION, OTHERS AREMOVING THINGS!SO, AS PEOPLE WHO HAD TO SUFFER UNDER THE "SAD SITUATION" WOULD YOU KINDLYLET US AND OTERS WHO DONATED KNOW HOW FAR YOU HAVE GONE???? I THINK THAT ISOUR HUMAN RIGHT. DO YOU ALREADY KNOW WHERE THE MONEY HAS GONE? I THINK TWO YEARS ARE ENOUGHTO FIND THIS OUT!EVEN ALL THE INTERNAL REPORTS AND "EXPERTS" INCLUDING THE LMC REPORT USEANOTHER LANGUAGE THAN "MISUSE" THEY ARE SOMETIMES MUCH CLEARER THAN VOLKERSCHAUER BUT STILL HIDE WELL KNOWN FACTS.THE CRUCIAL POINT IS THE LACK OF DOCUMENTATION AND BOOKS (THIS IS ALREADY ACRIMINAL VICE!) AND THAT THE MONEY WAS NOT USED ACCORIND THE AGREEMENTS ANDTHAT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY NO PROPER REPORTING. YOU ARE TRYING TO DONWPLAY ACRIMINAL CASE HERE WHICH CALLS FOR REALLY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS.WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR? ALLEGED PERSONS LIKE THE FORMER DR. IN CHARGE ANDOTHERS AGAIN WORKING IN ELCT INSTITUTIONS, THIS IS WHAT WE CAN SEE.THIS IS NOT AN "INTERNAL CHURCH" CASE AS MANFRED SCHECKENBACH GOES ON TOREPEAT. IT CONCERNS EVEN PUBLIC MONEY, MONEY OF PEOPLE WHO GAVE IT FOR APARTICULAR REASON. TELL US, FOR WHAT PURPOSES HAS THE MONEY BEEN MISUSED? ORWILL YOU NEED ANOTHER TEN YEARS TO TELL US WHERE IT IS? AND YOU WILL SELL USYOUR SUCCESS THAT YOU HAVE ASKED FOR INFORMATION?GO AND TELL THIS INTERPRETATION OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MISUSE AND THEFT TOA JUDGE, A LAWYER - TRY IT OUT! I DO NOT THINK THAT CHURCHES OR ANYRELIGIOUS ORGANISATION SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW. YOU DO NOT MAKE IT AND THEBIBLE IS VERY CLEAR ABOUT THIS.YOU KNOW, JUST NOW WE FOUND OUT THAT PROBABLY ONE OF A PLWHA GROUP MEMBERHAS NOT PUT A SMALL PART OF THE AMOUNT FOR THE EDUCATION OF AN ORPHAN TO THESCHOOL - A SMALL AMOUNT NOT MILLIONS! - SHE USED IT PROBABLY FOR OTHER"IMPORTANT" THINGS - STILL IT IS STEALING AND NOT ACCEPTABLE AND PIUMA TAKESVERY BOLD STEPS IN SUCH CASES AND THEY DO THAT WITHOUT DELAY IN CASE IT ISPROVEN TRUE. AT LEAST UP TO NOW AND IF THEY WON'T I WOULD USE THE SAMEMEASSURES I AM USING WITH YOU AND THEY ARE NOT EVEN MEN AND WOMEN OF THECLOTH - WHICH MAKES A DIFFERENCE MR. SCHAUER.MENAWHILE YOU WILL SURELY GO ON DISCUSSING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MISUSE ANDTHEFT AND TRY TO PREVENT DAMAGE FROM "THE CHRUCH" YOU THINK THAT THIS WILLHELP THE ORPHANS AND OTHERS, like HIV/AIDS VICTIMS? IN THAT WAY YOU WILL GOON USING RESSOURCES FOR ENDLESS DISCUSSION AND TRIALS TO TWIST THE TRUTH ORBEING UNCLEAR AT UNIVERSITY SEMINARS?WHILE COLLECTING THE FUNDS FOR THE POOR, WHO FREQUENTLY DO NOT SEE A PENNY?WHERE ARE YOUR SUCCESSTORIES FROM THE RECENT YEARS AT ALL THE PLACES YOU AREWORKING IN, WHERE ARE YOUR PUBLICATIONS, WHERE ARE YOUR BOOKS AND PUBLISHEDDOCUMENTS, YOUR EXTERNAL AUDITS? JUST PUT THEM TO THE PUBLIC, JUST LIVETRASPARENCY AND SHOW PERFROMANCE. LIKE A SHARE HOLDER COMPANY IS SUPPOSED TODO. IT WORKS BECAUSE IT IS MONEY INVESTED AND PEOPLE ARE EXPECTING RETURNS. SO WHY IS IT JUST DIFFERENT WHEN IT COMES TO THE POOR? WHY IS ACCOUNTABILITYHERE SUCH AN ISSUE, WHY SO DICCICULT WHEN IT COMES TO DEVELOPMENT OR SOCIALWORK OR EVEN FUNDS FOR SPIRITUAL WORK? ENLIGHTEN US!I FIND YOUR ARGUMENTS of DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN MISUSE AND THEFT VERYDISGUSTING. IT IS JUST A TRIAL TO EXCUSE PEOPLE HERE.

We are also very clear that we do that in co-operation with our partnerchurch ELCT.

WE HAVE LEARNED THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE COOPERATING IN DUMPING DEVELOPING MONEYARE CALLING EACH OTHER PARTNERS AND SHOW A GREAT DEAL OF SECRECY AND HIDINGIN THEIR CIRCLES. NOT ONLY IN THE CHURCHES, THE SAME IS TRUE FOR BIG NGOSAND UN AGENCIES IN MAYN CASES AND THIS DISCUSSION IS VERY HOT AT PRESENT -THE RELIGIUOUS ORGANISATIONS WILL NOT ESCAPE.IT SEEMNS VERY NATURAL, BUT IS AN EXPRESSION OF THE PROBLEM: THEY TEND TODRIVE CRAZY WHEN THINGS ARE UNCOVERED!DOES YOUR "PERSONAL" MISSION STRATEGY HAPPEN IN AGREEMENT WITH YOUR BOARDSAND REGULATIONS AND WITH THE PEOPLE WHO DONATED THE MONEY FOR THINGS YOUPROMISED TO THEM? WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HUGE AMOUNTS AND RESSOURCES HERE!DID YOU INFORM THEM ABOUT YOUR "SUCCESSES" IN DEVELOPING AID?I DO NOT THINK THAT MISSIONS AND ELCT AND LMC, WHO ARE SINCE YEARS CLEARELYNOT ABLE TO CLEAR THE CRIMINAL VICES (LACK OF BOOKS, NOT EXISTING PROJECTSAND SO ON AND SO FORTH, WE ARE TIRED OF REPEATING!) HAVE THE RIGHT TO ONLYDEAL WITH THEIR PARTENRS WHO ARE FACING ALLEGATIONS, YOU ARE NOT AN EXTERNALUNBIASED PLAYER HERE - YOU HAVE YOUR HEAVY STAKE IN THE PROBLEM HERE. AS ITIS THE CASE FOR ELCT AUDIT DEPARTMENT OR ANY CHURCH MEMBER. CRIMINALPARTNERS AND THEIR ACCOMPLICES CANNOT INVESTIGATE THEMSELVES. THIS COULDONLY BE A JOKE.I UNDERSTAND THAT MISSIONS - ESPECIALLY MANFRED SCHECKENBACH AND LMC, ELCTWOULD LIKE TO DEAL THIS AS AN INTERNAL MATTER OF ELCT AND LMC AND SUPPORTERS- I UNDERSTAND THIS.


It is not our task to take over and tell the ELCT that a bishop or a generalsecretary or whoever has to go. That is the task of the ELCT.


SO WHO DID THIS? TELL ME? I SURELY NOT - THOUGH I AM THE OPPINION THAT EVERYHUMAN BEING WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEMAND ANYBODY TO STEP DOWN FOR ANY CASEAND PLACE IN THE WORLD - ESPECIALLY TO A LEADER WHO COMPLETELY FAILED,EVERYBODY COULD SAY THIS TO THE POPE, THE US PRESIDENT, ANYBODY - THIS ISNOT A SIN, NOT A CRIME - WHAT MAKES YOU SO ANGRY HERE? WHAT IS THE ARGUMENTHERE?I HAVE NEVER BEEN ASKED ABOUT MY OPPINION ABOUT THIS CASE AND I NEVER PUT ITTO YOU, BUT TO MAKE IT CLEAR NOW: MY OPPINON IS, THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE HELDRESPONSIBLE THROUGH A INDEPENDENT LEGAL SYSTEM OWNED BY THEIR NATION ANDEVEN AT THE INTERNATIONAL LEVEL AS FAR AS INTERNATIONL PLAYERS ARE CONCERNEDLIKE IN THIS CASE, EVERYBODY SHOULD BE EQUAL HERE - UNLUCKILY WE ARE FARFROM THAT IN THIS WORLD.I DID NOT CALL FOR ANY RESIGANTION OF ANYBODY IN TANZANIA THESE TIMES. BUTTODAY I WOULD FIND IT APPROPRIATE IF YOU AND OTHER RESPONIBLE IN THECONCERNED MISSIONS AND BOARDS IN TANZANIA WOULD RESIGN. AND I OFTEN SAIDTHIS SINCE A TIME. PROFESSIONALS WOULD DO BETTER. AS YOU KNOW I PUT THIS ONMY BLOG.ANYWAY, MAYBE I MISSUNDERSTOOD YOU HERE AND YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SOMEBODYELSE THAN ME (YOU ARE OBVIOUSYL SKILLED IN INTRODUCING UNKNOWN STRANGERS INDISCUSSIONS AT CERTAIN POINTS), BUT I HEARD THIS "ARGUMENT" TOO OFTEN THAT IWAS "ALLEGED" TO DEMAND THE SCD BISHOP TO RESIGN, WHICH I DID NOT!A LIE DOES NOT BECOEM TRUE IF IT IS REPEATED AGAIN AND AGAIN.ANYWAY I CONSIDER THIS AN INTENTIONAL STRATEGY BY YOU AND MANFREDSCHECKENBACH (WHO WAS THE FIRST MENTIONING THIS TO ME) IN ORDER TO PROTECTTHE BISHOP AND PUT THE ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE REAL PROBLEM: THE THEFT ANDLACK OF RESPONSIBILITY BY ALL SIDES INVOLVED.THIS IS THE COMMON PATTERN AND IF I DO NOT COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTAND YOU, YOUARE DOING THE SAME IN A VERY CARELESS WAY.

Colonial times are over and I am glad they are.


I DO NOT THINK SO IN THIS CASE FOR TWO REASONS (AND I AM NOT GLAD AS THEY DONOT SEEM TO BE OVER):1) NGOs, FBOs, MISSIONS, CHURCHES AS MANY RELIGIOUS ORGANISATIONS FROM ALLDENOMINATIONS STILL EXERT UNCONTROLLED INFLUENCE FROM OUTSIDE ON DEMOCRATICCOUNTRIES - MAINLY BY MONEY THEY DISTRIBUTE ACCORING TO THEIR WISHES ANDUNDER EXCLUSION OF MAJOR PARTS OF THE SOCIETY IN THE FOCUS COUNTRY. THEY DONOT PROVIDE FULL INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC NEITHER THEY LOOK FOR MECHANISMSTO GIVE THE POPULATION A CHANCE TO HAVE A WORD. THIS IS IN MANY CASES TRUEFOR ALL DENOMINATION - SURELY FOR LMC/ELCT WHERE YOU ARE DECISION MAKINGMEMBER.THESE PLAYERS DO THIS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES BY POURING MONEY INTO SYSTEMSWHICH ARE NOT UNDER CONTROL OF THE MAJORITY OF THE CITIZENS. THOSE AREMAINLY NOT INFORMED AND HAVE TO ACCEPT WHAT IS DECIDED BY THE DONOR OR ITSCONNECTED AND COMMUNICATING - OFTEN VERY CORRUPT - ELITES (IN THIS CASE THEELCT) IN THE COUNTRY. THESE ELITES ARE CONTROLLING THE FUNDS IN A SOMETIMESNEARLY ABSOLUTISTIC MANNER.SUCH MONEY IS ANTIDEMOCRATIC, DOES NOT FOSTER DEVELOPMENT AND CAN - AS WESEE AT SCD AND OTHER (!) ELCT DIOCESES - IMPLEMENT NEPOTISM AND STRUCTURESSUPPRESSING AND TORTOURING PEOPLE BY SERIOUSLY VIOLATING THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS.IT HAPPENED AT BLH. THIS IS SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.2) WHEN LOCAL PEOPLE AND OTHER TANZANIAN CITZENS GOT UP AGAINST THESE VICES,IT IS SOMEHOW "NORMAL" THAT THE CORRUPT SYSTEMS - INCLUDING THE DONORS - ARETREATING THEM BADLY AND TRY TO STICK TO THEIR POWER AND THEIR BUSINESS WITHDONATIONS AND AID. FOR YOU IT DOES NOT SEEM BEARABLE WHEN "THE POOR" GET UP AND DEMAND FAIRNESSAND ARE IN THAT WAY UNCOMFORTABLE TO YOU. YOU DO NOT EVEN COME BACK TO THEIRREQUESTS AND CALLS IN CASE THEY GET INFORMED AND REACT.OBVIOUSLY THE MISSIONS TRIED TO MAINTAIN THE SYSTEM BY INVENTING THE "WE AREOUTSIDERS AND NOT COLONIALISTS" GAME AND BY SAYING THAT FOREIGNERS LIKE MEWANT TO INFLUENCE THE INNER POLICY OF THE CHURCH WHILE AT THE SAME TIME THEYARE SITTING IN DECISION MAKING BOARDS IN TANZANIA AND DO INFLUECNE THEPOLICY OF THE TANZANIAN CHURCH - WHICH POLICY? (IS IT POLICY TORTURING THEAVERAGE BELIEVER AND PEOPLE OF OTHER DENOMINATIONS BY STEALING FROM THEGOVERNMENT AND THE COMMUNITY, HIDING VICES AND TAKING MONTHS AND YEARS TOMOVE?).IN DOING SO YOU TRY TO DENY THE RESISTING LOCAL PEOPLE AND CIVIC SOCIETYREPRESENTATIVES AND PLAYERS OUTSIDE THE CHURCH THEIR RIGHT FOR DEVELOPMENTTO A BETTER AND FAIR TANZANIAN SOCIETY. YOU ARE DOING SO BY BLAMING ME FORSOMETHING TANZANIANS DEMANDED - YOU ARE MISUSING THE "COLONIAL ARGUMENT"WHILE ACTING IN A COLONIAL STYLE AND VERY DISRESPECTFUL WAY IN FRONT OFTANZANIAN STAKEHOLDERS. THE SHOCKING THING IS THAT I BELIEVE THAT YOU DO NOTEVEN RECOGNIZE THIS.THIS WAS A DEADLY STRATEGY IN THIS CASE AND NONE STOOD UP IN ORDER TOPROTECT HUMAN RIGHTS OF THE POOR, THEY ARE JUST A FOOT NOTE HERE FOR YOU.ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DEMANDED CONSEQUENCES OUT OF TANZANIA HAVE LOST RELATIVESTO HIV/AIDS AND I SAW THEIR TEARS - YOU DID NOT - AND YOU GO ON TALKINGABOUT PARTNERS, WHEN IT COMES TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSING ELCT AND YOU GO ONNEGLECTING THESE PEOPLE WHO INDEED WROTE TO YOU AND OTHERS.COLONIALISM, RACISM .... HOW SHOULD I CALL THIS? MAY YOU HELP US? MANY ARE ANGRY THAT YOU ARE HIDING AND NOT PUTTING OT THE OPEN THE FACTSLIKE MONEY TRANSFERS AND AGREEMENTS. THERE IS NO INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONHERE! YOU ARE COOPERATING IN HIDING NOT IN PUTTING THINGS TO THE OPEN.

Still it is a process which is not easy and we would be glad if some thingswould work faster. Some of the actions we have taken are mentioned in theletter of Manfred Scheckenbach from 9.1.07.

NOTHING HAS REALISED, MAYBE YOU COULD DO YOUR PART THAT THINGS CAN GO FASTER- I DO NOT TRUST YOU HERE. I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO DOINDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS AND TO FOLLOW THE LAWS OF A COUNTRY AND TO TRY TODEMAND THIS, AND I THINK THAT THERE IS AN INTENTIONAL DELAY OF SERIOUSQUESTIONS TO BE CLEARED.A POSITVE ROLE EXAMPLE COMES FROM THE LUTHERAN CHURCH IN SWIZZERLAND, THEYSOLVED SIMILAR PROLEMS WITH IN 4 - 5 MONTHS. YOU ARE DEALING WITH CRIMINALCASES. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS, THERE IS NO SENSE FOR A DISCUSSION.

I know, that you don't agree with our way of dealing with the situation. Ican understand that up to a certain point. It is always possible to have adifferent view about what is right to do or wrong to do in a certainsituation. So you may criticise us. That might be helpful because we may bewrong in our views or in some of them and as we are human beings wesometimes fail to see or to do the right thing.

AHA, SO EVEN OTHERS CRITZISED YOU AND ASKED FOR YOUR HELP, ALONE YOU DID NOTCOME BACK. WHAT DID I DEMAND HERE? WHAT IS THE WAY I REQUESTED? I ALWAYSHEAR ABOUT DISAGREEMENT WITH MY WAY WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHAT YOU THINK MYWAY IS. THAT I HAVE ASKED ANYTHING ELSE THAN RESPONSIBILITY, COOPERATION,TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, PROTECTION OF PERSONAL, HUMAN AND PATIENTSRIGHTS? AND THAT THIS HAPPENs BEFORE PEOPLE DIE?

It could have been a dialogue or a discussion which might have been helpfulfor both sides. So I think You have certainly a right to criticise us and I would accept it,even if it might be always a bit unpleasant to be criticised.But in my view what you are doing is different. The problem is not that youare criticising our methods and the way we handle things. The problem isthat you are stating things that are not true.

SO WHICH THINGS I AM STATING ARE NOT TRUE?! YOU DID NOT TELL US - WHICH? ITHINK THAT EVRYTHING I SAY IS TRUE!MIGHT HAVE BEEN HALPFUL FOR BOTH SIDES? WHAT ARE THE BOTH SIDES? "YOU" AND"ME"? OR "THE POOR" AND "YOU"? DON’T YOU THINK THAT THIS IS ANOTHERDISRESPECTFUL AND "COLONIAL" STATEMENT? AGAIN NO WORD ABOUT THE FOCUS GROUP,NO WORD ABOUT THE MANY WHO TRIED TALKING TO THE MISSIONS!ELL US - DID THEY ALSO USE A LANGUAGE LIKE I DID? WHY DID NOBODY COME BACKTO THEM IF ONLY MY LANGUAGE IS THE PROBLEM?IT IS JUST NOT TRUE THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A FRUITFULL DISCUSSION! IFSO, YOU WOULD HAVE COME BACK TO ME EARLIER WHEN MY MAILS WERE VERY FRIENDLYAND COOPERATIVE, AT A TIME WHEN YOU DID NOT HAVE THE CHANCE TO COMPLAINABOUT MY LANGUAGE OR YOU WOULD HAVE COME BACK TO OTHERS HERE. YOU DID NOT,NOW I KNOW YOU KNEW MUCH MORE AND WERE PROBABYL FOOLING US AND USED THISINFORMATION TO HANDLE THE DELICATE ISSUE IN A WAY OF DELAYY AND PROTECTINGYOUR PARTNER "THE CHURCH".

You try to depreciate us personally in nearly every circular mail and youare attacking our moral integrity.

AFTER A LONG TIME OF FRIENDLY MAILS AND NO REPLIES OR UNTRUE STATEMENTS OFMR. SCHECKENBACH WHICH HE DID NOT CORRECT, WHEN IT CAME TO THE HAARTPROGRAMME AND MY ROLE. YES I DO NOT THINK THAT YOU ARE MORALY INTEGER. I TRYNOT TO DEPRECIATE YOU PERSONALLY I TOLD YOU MY OPPINION, YOU CIRCULATE ITEVEN TO A WIDER GROUP.

In your circular mails you accuse us as "German missions" - and I understandthat can only be MWB, KPS and NMZ - that we are working together withcriminals, that we support corruption, that we are blind, not facing thefacts, but hiding them, not listening to arguments and that we are doingnothing.

SORRY I APPOLOGIZE YOU ARE CERTAINLY DOING SOMETHING - BUT THE OUTCOME FORTOO LONG A TIME WAS AND IS STILL SUFFERING AND DEAD PEOPLE AND NOBODY WASTAKEN RESPONSIBLE. BUT ALL OF US ARE CERTAINLY READY TO LEARN AND WE WOULDAPPOLOGIZE IF WE DID NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR PERFECT STRATGEY TO SOLVE THEPROBLEM. MAYBE IT HAS BEEN SOLVED AND I AM BLIND? LET US LEARN! I AM READYTO APPOLIGIZE IF YOU CAN GIVE ANOTHER REASONABLE STORY! OTHERWISE MYSTATEMENTS ARE TRUE.YOU ARE WORKING WITHIN A CRIMINAL STRUCTURE IN TANZANIA, YOU SUPPORTEDCORRUPTION SINCE YEARS BY FINANCING IT, YOU DO NOT SEE THAT - YOU ARE BLINDFOR IT, MISSIONS ARE NOT COMING BACK TO PEOPLE WHO WROTE ESPECIALLY FROMAFRICA AND YOU ARE SITTING IN DECISION MAKING POSITIONS IN THEIR COUNTRIES!THESE ARE THE FACTS WE KNOW.YOU ARE NOT OPEN AND TRANSPARENT, THE REPORTS ARE HIDING AND FINANCIALREPORTS INDICATE CRIMINAL VICES AND EVEN INTERNAL AUDITS ARE SHOWING THAT ATMANY PLACES THINGS ARE NOT IN ORDER - YOU ARE HAVING THEM ON YOUR DESK ANDYOU ARE THERE. EVEN THE REPORTS OF ELCT ARE CALLED CRIMINAL BY RAYBEN SANGA- HE IS AN EXPERT AND THE ELCT NEVER CAME BACK TO HIM FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

You are calling us "malicious", and state that we "have worked hard to spoilMakete by funding criminal structures". "They do not behave like man ofgod".

IT IS HARD BUT YES I THINK IT IS TRUE - MAYBE I WAS NOT CLEVER GIVING YOUTHE CHANCE TO REACT IN THAT WAY BY USING SUCH WORDS AND AGAIN PUTTING BLAMEON ME AN TURNING THE PROBLEM, MAYBE! I LEARNED FROM MANFRED SCHECKENBACHTHAT I AM "TO EMOTIONAL". WELL AS A DOCOTR I WILL BE LESS EMOTIONAL INFUTURE - MAYBE LIKE A PASTOR - NEXT TIME WHEN MY PATIENTS DIE BECAUSE OFBEING MISTREATED AND I SEE THAT I WILL STAY CALM AND WAIT - HOPEFULL IT WILLNOT BE YOUR RELATIVES WHO ARE MY PATIENTS THEN AND HAVE TO SUFFER.I APPOLOGIZE TO YOU AND EVERYBODY HERE. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT AND WILL NOTCALL YOU THESE WORDS AGAIN, YOU ARE WEARING THE CLOTH.NEXT TIME I WILL WATCH THEM DYING AND I WILL ALSO ATTEND A SEMINAR ABOUTCORRUPTION WITH YOU OR I WILL READ THE NICE ARTICELS OF MISSIONREPRESETNATIVES LIKE YOUR BOSS ABOUT CORRUPTION, WHILE WE GO ON POURINGMONEY AND KEEPING THE SYSTEM MOVING FOR MONTHS AND YEARS. I HAVE UNDERSTOOD,THE CHURCH TAKES ITS OWN TIME! WHAT ARE SOME PEOPLE SUFFERING IN THAT CASEIT IS THE CHURCH WHICH IS MORE THAN A LIFE - EVEN WOMEN WHO ARE FORCED TOTAKE THE CROSS OF HAVING SEX WITH AN HIV POSITIVE MAN SHOULD BE CARRYINGTHAT CROSS - I UNDERSTADN ALL THESE WORDS NOW - I REALLY DO! MAY YOU AND THEHOLY CHURCH AND GOD AND ALL THE ANGELS FORGIVE ME!I WAS TO EMOTIONAL AND REGRET HAVING CALLED PEOPLE WHOSE MONEY ENDED UP INTHE POCKETS OF HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSERS AND DID NOT SHOW ANY MOVEMENT"MALICIOUS" THIS WAS CERTSAINLY WRONG! I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME ONE OFTHESE DAYS AND I MAY LEARN FROM YOU TO BE PATIENT AND FAIR. (HOW SHOULD IHAVE DEALT THE CASES OF THE PATIENTS WHO SUFFERED BECAUSE I WAS LOCKED OUTFROM ONE SECOND TO ANOTHER WITHOUT EVEN A TALK - YOU WILL CERTAINLY TEACH MEIF I ASK FRIENDLY AND IN AN OBEDIENT LANGUAGE?)WELL, BUT I DO NOT THIK THAT PRIESTS SHOULD BEHAVE LIKE I HAVE LEARNED FROMYOU. NMZ IS SINCE YEARS ENGAGED IN LMC AND HAD A TREASURER AT SCD DURING THECONCERNED YEARS - SHE WAS EMPLOYED BY NMZ AS A MISSIONARY (!) IN THE TIMEWHEN 100dreds OF MILLIONS DISSAPEARED NOT ONLY AT BLH - MAYBE SHE CAN TELLYOU THAT THE FUNDS WERE "MISUSED" FOR BETTER PURPOSES? WHY NO BOOKS THEN? NODOCUMENTATION? WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO SEE THE SUCCESS THEN IN MAKETE WHATHAS HAPPENED WITH THIS INCREDIBLE AMOUNTS?IN GERMANY IT WOULD BE A CRIMINAL OFFENCE TO HAVE NO PROPER BOOKS AND TOMESS UP AS A TREASURER! SO WHY ARE YOU TAKING OTHER MEASSURES IN TANZANIA?BECAUSE THE INFROMAL SYSTEM ALLOWS YOU TO SEND PEOPLE WHO ARE OBVIOUSLY NOTCAPABLE? BECAUSE THERE WILL NOT BE ANY STATE PROSECUTOR KNOCKING AT YOURDOORS?DEVELOPING COUNTRIES ARE TOO OFTEN DUMPING SITES FOR OVERPAID ANDUNCONTROLLED, UNDERPERFORMING "EXPERTS" WHO COULD NEVER WORK IN THE SAME WAYIN THEIR HOMEPLACES - DO YOU THINK THIS IS FAIR?THIS COULD NOT HAPPEN IN EUROPE AND THAT THIS IS A FACT IS PART OF THEFOUNDATION OF OUR WEALTH IN EUROPE AND TANZANIA SHOWS SOME PROGRESS BUTSTILL HAS A LONG WAY AND ELCT IS DEMANDING A CORRUPTION FREE SOCIETY WHILEIT IS NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE IT IN THEIR OWN HOUSE. PAH!WHY DENYING THIS IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY? FOR OBVIOIS REASONS NMZ AND OTHERMISSIONS DID NOT COME BACK TO THE NUMEROUS STATEMENTS OF THE EDUCATEDTANZANIAN EXPERTS HERE, THIS IS SPITTING IN THEIR FACES VOLKER SCHAUER!AT LEAST NOT IN A RESPECTFUL WAY FOSTERING DEVELOPMENT AND LEADING TOWARDSTHE SOLUTION OF THE CRIMINAL PROBLEMS. COME BACK TO NTETEMA, SANGA, MBOGELAAND MANY OTHERS FROM TANZANIA WHO FIGHT HARD FOR THE DEVELOMENT OF ACORRUPTION AND THEFT FREE SOCETY AND BE IT IN THE CHRUCH! ACCEPT THEIR ROLEAND STOP TRYING TO PUT ME IN FRONT OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS ANOTHER SHAMLESSAND COLONIAL STRATEGY.IT IS A STRATEGY NOT REACTING TO THEIR ARGUMENTS: THIS INDEED SHOWS THATMISSIONS NEED TO BE EXPOSED TO THE VERY EXTEND AND TO THE WORLD INCLUDINGTANZANIA - THE MISSIONS HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM OF ACCOUNTABILITY HERE! INFRONT OF THE POOR AND IN FRONT OF THEIR DONORS.YOU NEED TO BE CRITIZISED MUCH HARDER IN ORDER TO EXPECT CHANGES. IUNDERESTIMATED YOUR CAPACITY WHEN I WROTE TO YOU. I TRIED TO TALK TO YOU FORTOO LONG A TIME AND THIS WAS A MISTAKE. I SHOULD HAVE ACTED THAT WOULD HAVEMADE ME SLEEP MUCH MORE PEACEFUL AND PREVETNED ME OF FACING YOUR STRATGEY OFBLAME WHERE AOU HAVE QUESTIONS TO ANSWER. I DID TRUST YOU.THE PROBLEM WILL ONLY DISSAPEAR BY USING YOUR TIME BUDGET IN SETTIG UPSYSTEMS ACCORDING THE LAWS OF THE INVOLVED COUNTRIES. IF MISSIONS CANNOT DOTHAT, THEY SHOULD ASK REAL EXPERTS, INSTEAD OF SPOILING THEIR TIME BYSPREADING RUMORS AND RIDING ATTACKS ON THE WRONG PEOPLE. UP TO NOW YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY NOT DONE ANYTHING TANGIBLE TO CORRECT THEFRAUDS BEING UNDERTAKEN AND SUPPORTED BY YOUR STAFF. THESE ARE SERIOUSALLEGATIONS! HOW CAN NMZ STAFF PARTICIPATE AS TREASURER OF SCD IN THE TIME2003/2004 WHERE THE EXTERNAL AND EVEN ELCT AUDITS CONFIRM FRAUDS. THIS ISINDEED CRIMINAL! WHAT WAS DONE HERE?THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY: TO PUT THINGS OPEN, PUBLIC AND TO THE POLICE ANDRESPONSIBLE AUTHORITIES - THIS IS THE WAY IT IS DONE IN THE ETHICS OF THEBUSINESS WORLD, WHERE FRAUDS AND LACK OF BOOKS ARE DEALT AS A CRIME ANDNOBODY WOULD DARE TO ARGUE ABOUT THIS. I FOUND OUT THAT IN MANY WAYS THE ETHICS OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS MUCHHIGHER THAN IN RELIGIOUS GROUPS AND NGOS. FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. YES IBELIEVED THAT MEN OF GOD WILL FIGHT THEFT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING AND IN AVERY TRANSPARENT WAY. OKAY, YOU ARE CERTAINLY PRIESTS AND CALLED "MEN OFGOD" AND THE WAY YOU BEHAVE IS TYPICAL FOR SUCH - OBVIOUSLY THE NORM.YOU DECIDED TO YELL AT PEOPLE WHO TALK ABOUT A PROBLEM, YOU ARE SPREADINGRUMORS AND YOUR FRIST SOMEHOW DIRECT REACTION COMES WHEN YOU FEEL INSULTED,NOT WHEN SOMEBODY CRITICIZES YOU OR WHEN THE PROBLEM IS GETTING SERIOUS NDTOUCHING THE LIVES OF MANY!THIS OF COURSE SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE NMZ POLICY AND THAT OF OTHER MISSIONS.WHEN IT COMES TO THE SUFFERING OF THE AVERAGE TANZANIAN WHO HAS NO ACCESS TODONOR FUNDS OR INFORAMTION ABOUT THEM, BUT THE "RIGHT" TO BE THE BUSINESSOBJECT TO COLLECT MORE AND THE "RIGHT" TO SUFFER UNDER CORRUPT ELITES, YOUKEEP NUMB AND SIT ON THE TABLE WITH THOSE BEING GUILTY. IN 2006 BISHOPMANYIEWA WAS STILL LISTED IN THE LMC ROUND TABLE (FC).

You accuse us of "knowingly dealing with corruption and fraud" and peoplelike us should be taken to court because of felony.

YES, AT LEAST YOU SHOULD KNOW THINGS UNDER YOUR RESPONISBILITY. WOULD YOU BEA BUISNESSMAN OR ANY ENTERPRENEUR, LOOKING AT YOUR RECORDS YOU WOULD NOTDARE NOT TO GO TO COURT IN EUROPE IN ORDER TO ANNOUNCE YOURSELF AND TO DOANYTHING TO CORRECT THE MISTAKES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE PERSONALLY INTEGER.THESE CASES SHOULD BE CLEARED THROUGH THE LEGAL SYSTEM, THIS IS A NORMAL WAYAND COULD EVEN PROTECT YOU. YES THIS CASES HOULD BE TAKEN TO COURT.

In the same emails You are blaming the leadership of the SCD and the wholeELCT as corrupt. You call them "corrupt and criminal" and say that themission centres in Germany "are rather discussing with thieves than showingsolidarity with the sick and poor".

YES! EVEN THE ELCT AUDIT DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN CALLED CRIMINAL !YOU CAN STUDY THE INDICATIONS IN THE LMC REPORT (SUCH INDICATIONS ARE CALLED"QUALIFIED REPORT" - IN EUROPE YOU LOOSE YOUR JOB AND WOULD HAVE A CASE TOANSWER!). YES IT IS CRIMINAL: STEALING, ALLEGED BRIBERY, LACK OF BOOKS,MISSAPROPRIATION, FRAUD, ALLEGED FORGERY, ARE CRIMINAL DEEDS - YES! BLAMINGAND SETTING HONEST PEOPLE LIKE THE FORMER GS SANGA IN MAKETE UNDER PRESSUREAS REPORTEDLY HAPPENED BY ELCT IN ARUSHA ARE AT LEAST VERY STRANGE WAYS OFDEALING THINGS.YES, THIS IS WHAT YOU DID! YOU ARE DISCUSSING WITHIN CRIMINAL STRUCTURESINSTEAD OF SHOWING SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE WHO SFFERED UNDER THE BURDENOF UNCONTROLLED MONEY. THIS IS WHAT YOU DID.YES, NOBODY SHOWED ANY SIGN OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE POOR OR PATIENTS, SOME OFTHEM PROBABLY DIED (IF YOU LIKE I CAN GIVE YOU A TEACHING HERE ABOUT THEMEDICAL BACKGROUND, BUT I DO NOT THINK THAT ANYBODY IS INTERESTED) WHENTHEIR HUMAN RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED.

Finally in Your letter from 22 of December to Mr. Rayben Sanga You call us"soft killers".

BY "SOFT KILLERS" (I COPIED THE MAIL TO YOU AND DID NOT PERSONALLY CALL YOUA KILLER THOSE TIMES) I MEANT WHAT I DESCRIBED ABOVE AND YES, WITH TODAY'SKNOWLEDGE - EVEN YOU - ARE AS A REPRESENTATIVE AND RESPONSIBLE SECRETARY -TO MY OPPINION RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF THE PEOPLE, THE SITUATION INMAKETE HAS A LONG HISTORY AND WAS FINANCED AND SUPPORTED EVEN BY NMZ. AREN'TYOU RESPONIBLE THERE?MISSIONS MISLEAD PEOPLE WHO ARE READY TO DONATE FOR THE HIV/AIDS WORK -SORRY YOU HAVE OBVIOSLY NO IDEA ABOUT HIV/AIDS (IF YOU WOULD, THIS WOULDEVEN MAKE THE INADEQUATE REACTION HERE MORE SERIOUS AND STRANGE) - BUT THISIS NO EXCUSE. YOU COLLECT MONEY FOR THE PEOPLE YOU ARE LEAVING THEM ALONEWHEN THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT AND YOU ARE SITTING AT THE SAME TABLE WITH THEMAIN RESPONSIBLE OF A DIOCESE WHO LET A HOSPITAL DOWN AND ALL THE OTHERPROJECTS THERE - SINCE YEARS. HE IS CALLED BISHOP AND I GUESS A LEADER ISRESPONSIBLE. LMC WENT ON SUPPORTING THE DICOCESE AT LEAST BY A CAR FOR THEVERY SAME BISHOP. HE USED IT TO TELL THE PEOPLE THAT HE STILL HAS FRIENDS.THIS WAS REPORTED AND CAN BE UNDERSTOOD.

All these quotations I took only from your circular mails from the lastmonth.


YES. SO WHAT? UNFORTONATELY, I KNOW YOU COULD NOT READ THE MAILS AND REPORTSFROM THE EARLIER TIMES AND YEARS. SO YOU DECIDED TO WAIT AND WAIT TILL I GOTANGRY READ THIS MAIL AND NOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING! GOOD! THAT SHOWS TO MYOPPINION HOW YOU SET YOUR PRIORITIES AS NMZ AFICA SECRETARY.

It is a mixture of untrue facts, insults and defamation.

NO, THERE ARE NO UNTRUE FACTS HERE (BY THE WAY, WHAT ARE "UNTRUE FACTS"?ALREADY YOU POINT THE PROBLEM OUT RIGHTLY HERE, I GUESS - IT MIGHT HAVE BEENA FREUDIAN MISTAKE HERE) AND DEFAMATION IS WHAT THE BAVARIAN MISSION ISDOING.THIS IS TYPICAL THAT YOU EVEN TELL OTHERS THAT I'M LYING WITHOUT BEING ABLETO STATE ONLY ONE LIE, THIS IS WHAT WE HEAR AGAIN AND AGAIN FROM BAVARIA,HAMBURG, SCD, ELCT AND SO ON - THIS IS INDEED DEFAMATION WHAT YOU ARE DOINGHERE.DEFAMATIONS AND LIES WERE OBVIOIUSLY SPREAD BY ELCT AGAINST ME AND OTHERSHERE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY AGAINST TANZANIANS - THE DEFAMAITON HERE IS THATIT IS REPEATED AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT WE ARE LYING WHILE BUT NOT BEING ABLE TOSAY IN WHICH SENSE.THE TRUTH IS THAT EVERYBODY WAS ALLEGED TO BE A LIAR BY PEOPLE WHO STOLE ORWHO ARE RESPONIBLE! YOU HAVE AT LEAST TO START SAYING WHERE! I TOOK THE TIME AND SAT DOWN AND WROTE THE LIES OF DR. VORLÄNDER TO THEPRESIDENT OF TANZANIA DOWN. VICKY NTETEMA, RAYBEN SANGA AND OTHERS DID COMETO YOU WITH PARTICULARS MANY TIMES. THE INTERESTIG THING IS THAT ELCT, LMCAND MISSIONS NEVER CAME BACK TO THING WE PUT ON THE DESK WITH PROOVES - IUNDERSTADN WHY, I REALLY DO!THE FACTS ABOUT THE CRIMINAL VICES WITHIN THE ELCT ARE ON THE DESK SINCELONG. YOU KNOW THAT. WE ARE NOT READY GO ON SENDING THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN ANDYOU JUST DENY THEM AND IN THAT WAY INSULTING US WITH YOUR COUNTER ATTACKS!IT IS A FACT THAT PATIENTS DIED (WOULD YOU REACT IN THE SAME WAY IN EUROPEIS IT BECAUSE....?), IT IS NOT A LIE AND IT IS A FACT THAT THE DEATH TOLLINCREASED AGAIN AFTER THE STILL UNEXPLINED ATTACK AGINST ME, THE PATIENTSAND THE STAFF. IT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED FACT, THAT MONEY DISAPPEARED AND THATMANY PROJECTS ARE NOT EXISTING.

I must admit that I have difficulties to comment this because never in mylife before has ever dared to defame me like this.

SO DO I! MR. SCHAUER, NEVER BEFORE I HEARD SO MANY LIES ABOUT ME IN MY LIFEBEFORE! I DID NOT PERSONALLY ATTACK YOU THOSE TIMES! SINCE A MUCH LONGER TIME THAN YOU PROBABLY KNOW, I SENT MY REPORTS TO NMZ(AND I REPORTED TO YOU IN A FRIENDLY WAY BUT YOU DECIDED NOT TO TAKE OURMAILS IN ACCOUNT BUT STARTED SPREADING RUMORS AND STILL YOU ARE - I HAVENEVER SEEN SUCH A SHAMLESS MAN LIKE YOU! YOU KNOW THAT DURING THE SEMINAR INHAMBURG YOU DID NOT TELL THE WHOLE STORY OBVIOUSLY THOUGH I OFFERED YOUCONTACTS AND HELP TO PUT ALL SIDES ON THE DESK YOU AS USAL FELT COMFORTABELNT TO COME BACK AND OBVIOUSLY GAVE A SPEECH LEAVING ROOM AGAIN FOR MANYMISUNDERSTANDINGS)- SOME OF THE LIES AND DEFAMATIONS WERE EVEN REPEATED HEREBY YOU. SEE ABOVE. PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU WERE TAKING UP RUMORS FROM LMC ANDCHURCH EMPLOYEES AND PROBE TEAMS?

But I will try.Let's have a look on some of your accusations :First you are accusing the whole ELCT as a criminal organisation.

SYSTEMICALLY YES! OF COURSE, NOT ALL THE STAFF AND BISHOPS, BUT THEORGANISATION! SEE SIEMENS, SEE THE SCANDALS OF THE RECENT YEARS IN THE USLIKE ENRON - IT WAS CRIMINAL AND THEY ARE (were) of COURSE CRIMINAL ANDCORRUPT COMPANIES! THEY CHANGED THEIR SYSTEMS AND MADE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE INA TOUGH WAY AND THEY DID IT QUICKLY WTHIN A VERY SHORT TIME - THIS IS THEBEAUTY OF WORKING SYSTEMS. OBVIOUSLY THE CHURCH NEEDS SUCH A TREATMENT ASTHEY SEEM WORSE. IT IS MORE SERIOUS HERE AS LIVES WERE DIRECTLY DAMAGED.

What do you mean by that ? There are 20 dioceses in the ELCT and there isthe head office in Arusha. Who is meant ? The Konde Diocese ? The SouthwestDiocese ? The Meru Diocese ?

YOU TRY TO TWIST HERE SCHAUER, SEE ABOVE! DIOCESES? AT LEAST THREE! YOUCOULD READ THIS IN ELCT PRESS RELASES AND MEDIA REPORTS IN TANZANIA.BUT ACCORDING TO ELCT AUDITS AT LEAST HALF OT THE INVESTIGATED - AND NOT ALLWERE AND ARE UP TO NOW - ARE SHOWING INDICATIONS OF FALSE BOOKS OR THECOMPLETE LACK OF BOOKS - THIS IS CRIMINAL AND "INTERNATIONAL AUDITSTANDARTS" ROUTINEOUSLY CALL FOR AN EXTERNAL AUDIT - ELCT IS NOT DOING THISAND IT MIGHT BE THAT AN EXTERNAL AUDIT WILL BRING TO THE SURFACE MUCH WORSESITUATIONS - LIKE IT INDEED HAPPENED IN MAKETE, EVEN BY NMZ'S FINANCIALHELP.WE HAVE SEEN AT MAKETE THE EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL AUDITS DIFFER TO THEINTERNAL AUDITS, THIS IS A PROBLEM AND AGAIN INDICATES CRIMINAL STRUCUTRESWITHIN ELCT INDEED!

Lars Hofgren as a secretary of the LMC or the presiding bishop ?

LARS HOFGREN OF COURSE WROTE A PROBE REPORT WITH A LOT OF UNTRUE STATEMENTSAND IS AT LEAST AN ACCOMPLICE OF A CRIMINAL SYSTEM, HE BEHAVED TOGETHER WITHMR. BRIGHTON KILEWA AND MR. MUNGURE (IF I RECALL HIS NAME RIGHTLY) RATHERLIKE AN INQUISITOR AND IS SURELY NOT CAPAPBLE TO LEAD A PROBE TEAM, THISVISIT SERVED TO PROTECT THE CULPRITS AND THE PROBLEMS AT ELCT HEADQUARTERS.THE WAYS OF INVESTIGATING BY EXCLUDING PEOPLE IS VERY UNFORTUNATE INDEED ANDTHIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN INVESTIGATIONS ARE DONE BY BIASED PEOPLE WHO HAVETHEIR ONW STAKES AND PROBLEMS IN A SYSTEM. THIS IS INDEED SHAMELESS AND MALICIOUS AND COMPLETEYL INAPROPRIATE.HE GOT MANY COMMNETS ON HIS REPORT AS YOU DID. HE DID NOT FIND IT WORTH EVENTO COME BACK OR TO CORRECT THE REPORT. HE IS THE SECRETARY OF LMC AND THEREARE IRREGULARITIES IN CONNECTION TO ELCT.JUST THREE FACTS CONCERNING HIS SO CALLED PROBE "REPORTS":1)THE CD4 COUNTER BROUHGT BY THE MINISTER OF HEALTH IS NOT RELIABLE ANDCANNOT SERVE THE CHILDREN! AS YOU ARE ADVOCATING IN THE AIDS CAMPAIGN YOUSHOULD KNOW THE STORIES CONCERING HIKED PRICES IN THE AIDS BUSINESS WHICHARE ALREADY CONSIDERED TO BE INTERNATIONAL SCANDALS, BEYOND THE BORDERS OFTANZANIA AS SIMILAR THINGS HAPPEN IN OTHER COUNTRIES. YOU MAY READ THEATTACHED REPORT IF YOU WISH TO FIND FURTHER LITERATUR YOU CAN FIND IT IN THENET OR AT PARTEC'S.THE PROVIDED COUNTERS ARE NOT RELIABLE COMPARED TO THE GERMAN ONES WE WEREUSING (HOFGREN IS WRONG HERE AND THAT AGAIN LED TO THE SUFFERING OFCHILDREN)- LONG STORY, ALL OF YOU COULD HAVE KNOWN IT! SUCH STATEMENTS COULDHAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY LARS HOFGREEN THROUGH ASKING EVERY SIDE, HE DECIDEDTO STATE THE UNTRUTH - WELL, HE IS NOT AN EXPERT BUT HE WILL HAVE HIS OWNREASONS FOR HAVING DONE SO. HE DID NOT LIKE TO TALK TO ME OR EAWM - HE LIKEDTO JUDGE AND TWIST FACTS TILL THEY ENDED UP BEING A MAIN SUPPORTER ANDMASTER MIND OF VICES AND HUMAN RIGHT ABUSES - WHO IS HE TO DO SO?YES TO MY OPINION HE IS RESPONISBLE FOR THE DEATH OF PEOPLE.2) THE ISSUE OF THE AMOUNT OF THE FRAUD IN THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE SCD/ELCTARE COMPLETELY SPARED AND NOBODY IS HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT UP TO NOW. INTHE REPORT THE IMPRESSION IS GIVEN THAT THE MAIN PROBLEM IS BLH - THEHOSPITAL - WHILE IT IS NOT! IT INCLUDES THE CRIMNINAL SUPPORT OF THE ELCTAUDIT DEPARTMENT SINCE YEARS AND THE COOPERATION OF ANOTHER ELCT DIOCESE BYGIVING EMPLOYMENT TO ONE OF THE ALLEGED MAJOR CULPRITS. AND NEARLY ALL THEPROJECTS IN THE DIOCESE. MAYBE TANDALA and SURELY THE HAART PROGRAM AREDIFFERENT.3) READING THE REPORT SOMEBODY COULD THINKG HOFGREN GIVES THE IMPRESSIONTHAT THE CTC TEAM IS PARTLY GUILTY FOR THE "POINT OF NO RETURN" WITHOUTGIVING ANY FACT ABOUT THIS SERIOUS INCIDENCE AND HUMAN RIGHS ABUSE. THAT THESITUATION WAS HOSTILE IS CLEAR AND SOMEHOW "NORMAL" WHEN THIEVES ARECHALLENGED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE HONEST AND DO WHAT IS AGREED - EVEN IF THEY AREPATIENTS, WHO PERFORM AND REFUSE (like EAWM and the AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT ANDINDEED THE LOCAL STAFF DID) TO USE THE HAART PROJECT'S FUNDS TO COVER THEFINANCIAL PROBLEMS OF A DIOCESE WHICH IS IN PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF FRAUDS ANDALL THE WELL KNOWN FACTS.IF HOFGREN WOULD HAVE WRITTEN SUCH A REPORT IN EUROPE, I WOULD SURELY SUEHIM FOR A LOT OF COMPEMSATION - THOUGH THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME IN MYLIFE. THE REPORT DID NOT IN ANY WAY TOOK RELATION TO THE VIOLATION OF LABOUR LAWS,PERSONAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS, BUT SHOWED AN AMBIGOUS UNDERSTANDING FOR THECRIMINAL AND FROCEFUL ACTION OF THE DIOCESE AGIANST CTC STAFF AND PATIENTSWHO WERE DENIED TREATMETN BY CRIMINALS. THE ELCT PROBE TEAM UNDER HISLEADERSHIP TRIED TO DAMAGE ME SERIOUSLY. THIS IS AN UNFOUNDED ATTACK AND NOTTHE WAY TO RESOLVE CONFLICTS AND UP TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD WHAT I HADDONE IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY THE LOCK OUT BY SCD/ELCT, WHO NEVER CAME BACK TOEAWM OR ME. I TRIED TO CALL THE NEW PRESIDING BISHOP BUT THE MAN WHO PICKEDTHE PHONE DENIED BEING THE BISHOP AND SHOWED THE SAME BEHAVIOUR - UNLUCKILY.MUCH WORSE IS THAT I COULD NOT EVEN SEE THE PATIENTS I TREATED AND I COULDNOT HAND THEM OVER. THOUGH IT WAS OFFERED TO LEAVE THE PLACE IN ACOORDINATED WAY, AS SCD AND ELCT DID NOT SEEM READY TO PROVIDE THE AGREEDWORKING ENVIRONMENT AND A DECENT HOPSITAL WITH WOKRING STUCTURES AND DIDEVERYTHING TO PREVETN A POSITIVE CHANE.I KNOW PATIENTS WHO WERE DAMAGED BY THIS INTERRUPTION OF INFORMATION.THEIRSUFERING GOES TO THE CREDIT OF THE CORRUPT. THE WERE NOT MENTIONEND IN THEFRAUDULENT REPORT OF MR. HOFGREN AND COMPANY.YES THEY ARE CRIMINAL AND NOT ABLE TO SEE THE SUFFERING OF PEOPLE. MY OPNIONIS THAT MISSIONARIES OF THE HOFGREN TYPE SHOULD BE SENT HOME IN ORDER TOLIVE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES RATHER THAN TO BE GIVEN HIGHLY RESPONIBLE ANDPOWERFUL MANAGEMENT POSTS IN DEVELOPPING COUNTRIES. THEY ARE NEITHER TRAINEDNOR CAPABLE. THIS MIGHT BE PARTLY TRUE FOR MANY OF ALL THE "AID WROKERS" WHOARE WORKING UNDER TOUGH CONDITIONS AND WE DO MAKE MISTAKES BUT TO NEEDMONTHS AND YEARS IN ORDER TO EVEN TRYING TO CORRECT MISTAKES IS NOTACCEPTABLE. IT IS A SHAME.BUT HE WRITES LETTERS OF DEMAND AND BLAME TO THE PRESIDENT OF TANZNIA, VERYNASTY LETTERS DEMANDING MORE MONEY FOR THE HOSPITALS OF THE ELCT WITHOUTBEING ABLE TO PROVE THAT THE MONIES FOR THE ELCT HOSPITALS ARE AND HAVE BEENUSED IN THE RIGHT WAY DURING THE LAST DECADES. THEY USE THEIR PREDICTED GOODPERFROMANCE TO ASK FOR MORE - WITHOUT ANY FATCS AND PROOVES ON THE DESK.ALONE WITH THE MONIES FROM BLH THEY COULD DO A LOT THROUGHOUT TANZANIA.

They are all criminals ? This is absurd. But if you accuse the whole ELCT tobe criminal prove it or stop saying it.

I DID NOT SAY THAT THEY ARE ALL CRIMINALS, MY DEAR! I CANNOT AGREE MORE WITH YOU, THIS IS ABSURD - YOUR WORDS ARE ABSURD MR.SCHAUER - HERE WE ARE 100% TOGETHER! YOU ARE ABSURD!BUT YES; ELCT IS CRIMINAL (20% CRIMINAL OR 80% CRIMINAL OR SO ? AT LEASTMUCH TO CRIMINAL AND PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO READ BOOKS OR TO DEMAND THEM)NOT BEING ABLE TO DELIVER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PEOPLE IN MANY, MANYCASES - TOO MANY CASES OF COURSE. AND CONSEQUENCES TO DEAL WITH CRIMINALSCASES ARE OF COURSE STILL LACKING - ESPECIALLY ONE SEEMS TO BE PARDONED IFHE/SHE IS A HIGH CHURCH REPRESENTATIVE - IF ONE IS A SMALL THIEVE HE/SHEGOES TO PRISON FOR STEALING LITTLE MONEY - THAT'S THE WORLD - NOT ONLY THATOF THE CHIRSTIANS.THIS IS INDEED A PROBLEM OF MORAL INTEGRITY.IF THEY WEAR A CLOTH IT SHOULD NOT BE A REASON TO EXCUSE THEM, IF YOU WEAR APASTORS DRESS YOU SHOULD BE BETTER THAN OTHERS AND PUNISHED HARDER IN CASEYOU FAIL, OR YOU SHOULD BE FORGIVEN AFTER REGRETTING AND CORRECTING THEMISTAKED AND AFTER ASKING FOR APPOLOGY AND A 100% INVESTIGATION OF THE CASE!IF YOU ARE A BISHOP IT IS EVEN WORSE. BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU FEEL CLOSERTO GOD AND SOME THINK THAT THEY CAN DO EVERY RUBBISH AND HAVE THE RIGHTSTILL TO CHEW MONEY GIVEN BY WELL MEANING DONORS FROM EUROPE. YOU KNOW THESEARE FACTS, CHECK THEM OUT IN THE TANZANIAN PRESS AND EVEN THE ELCT PRESSRELEASES.

You accuse us of being blind. What do you mean by that and how could youpossibly know ?

EXPLANATION: YOU ARE NOT PHYSICALLY BLIND OF COURSE. YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEETHAT CORRUPTION AND THEFT AND SUPPRESSION AND VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS ANDBLAMING THE WORNG SIDES AND KEEPING THINGS UNDER COVER WHICH MAKE OTHERS"OUTSIDE" SUFFERING AND AS "INTERNAL MATTERS" OF THE CHURCH IS LEADING TOMORE SUFFERING AND THE DEATH OF PEOPLE.

Concerning my person : Have you ever talked with me ?

NO, UNLUCKILY NOT IN FORMER TIMES THIS MIGHT HAVE PREVENTED A LOT OFPROBLEMS, BUT NMZ WAS INFORMED AND DECIDED TO KEEP SILENT. I COPIED MAILS TONMZ SINCE 2004 AND SUSPECTED YOU LONG BEFORE TO ANSWER AS YOU ARE INVOLVED.YOUR PROBLEM IS THE SPEED AND THAT NMZ IS INVOLVED.

Where you sitting in my office in Hamburg and have watched me working, sothat you might have an idea what I see or what I don't see ? You haven't.You have never seen me nor talked to me. So who gives you the right to tellthese things about me ?

SAME TO YOU, WHO TOLD YOU ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE STATING ABOUT ME HERE? AREYOU SURE THEY ARE TRUE? DID YOU EVER TALKED TO ME OR TO ANY OTHER OF THEPEOPLE WHO CONTACTED YOU? THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY AS BEING VITCTIMS OFTHE SITUATION! DID I SAY ANYTHING ABOUT A MR. SCHAUER AT THAT TIME? OTHERWHO GOT THE COPIES DID NOT PLAY THEMSELVES IN THE ROLE OF A VIVTIM HERE -YOU REALLY HAVE SKILLS HERE!

You state that we don't do anything and that no tangible actions are taken.That is just not true.

NOTHING TANGIBLE - YES! BUT YOU MIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME TELL US NOW ANDEXPLAIN TO US WHAT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED!AND I THINK YOU ARE DOING MUCH TO LESS COMPARED TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THEFACTS AND ALLEGATIONS WHICH ARE STILL DOWNPLAYED AND PEDNING. YOU AREOBVIOUSLY EVEN TELLING THE PEOPLE IN EUORPE THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED ANDTHAT YOU WERE VERY TOUGH ON CORRUPTION WHILE THE TRUTH IS THAT AT ELCTNOTHING HAS CHANGED IN THE SENSE THAT NONE OF THE RESPONIBLE FOR ANY FRAUDSIN TANZANIA HAVE BEEN MADE RESPONSIBLE. MAKETE WAS NOT THE ONLY CASE YOU ARESUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT MUCH BETTER THAN I DO.

The truth is that we are not joining your campaign.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY MY CAMPAIGN? TALKING THE TRUTH? FIRST TO THE CONCERNED,LATER TO A BROADER AUDITORIUM IS A CAMPAING? WELL - AS A PASTOR I SHOULDTHINK YOU SHOULD AGREE ABOUT THIS WAY. AND I DID NOT START A CAMPAIGN! WELL,IF YOU TALK ABOUT THE MEDIA IN TANZNIA GO AND TALK TO MBOGELA, NTETEMA,MUHINGO AND OTHERS - GO AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT "CAMPAIGNS" IN THEIR OWNCOUNTRY. GO AND TEACH THEM - VOLKER SCHAUER - BUT STOP TALKING TO ME ABOUTCOLONIALSIM. YOUR LINE OF ARGUMENTS IS DSIGUSTING HERE AND IT SHOWS TO MYOPPIONION THAT YOU HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH AFRICANS WHO ARE SELF RELIANTWHO REALLY SPEAK OUT AND GET UP. DO YOU PREFER THOSE ONES WHO ARE"OBEDIENT", CORRUPT AND UNEDUCATED AND DEPENDENT. THIS TIME WILL CHANGE ANDTHEN DEVELOPING AID WHICH FRUSTRATES SOCIETIES WILL NOT BE OF ANY NEEDAGAIN.YOU ARE USING THE WORD CAMPAING TO MY OPPINION TO DISCREDIT PEOPLE WHO ARETALKING ABOUT FACTS.THESE TANZANIANS DEFEND THE HONEST ONES AND A FAIR DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS INMANY CASES HINDERED BY CORRUPT DONOR MONEY. ASK VICKY NTETMA, JACKSONMBOGELA; RAYBEN SANGA AND OTHERS THEY HAVE GROWN UP THERE AND ARE EXPERTSABOUT ALL OF THIS. YOU CAN EVEN READ THIS IN RESSEARCH PAPERS AND AGAIN IREFER TO THE CHURCH IN SWIZZERLAND WHO CAN SOLVE SUCH ISSUES IN ABOUT 5MONTH INCLUDING COOPERATION WITH LOCAL POLICE AND THE GOVERNMENT.YOU AND ALL THE FOREIGN REPRESENTATIVES HAVE MORE THAN PROVEN DURING THELAST YEARS THAT YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO LEAD A SUSTAINABLE TALK WITH OTHERTANZANIANS, DESPITE THEIR ARGUMENTS AND THE MANY INDICATIONS OF FRAUDS ANDTHE INVOLVEMTN OF THE MISSIONS AS DONORS. INSTEAD YOU DECIDED TO DEAL MAINLYWITH YOU PARTNER - the CRIMINAL STRUCTURE.IF YOU DO NOT LIKE MY WORDS AND FEEL INSULTED THAT SHOULD NOT PREVENT ALL OFYOU TO TALK TO THESE PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS USED A FRIENDLY LANGUAGE - ALTHOUGHTHE ACTIONS OF THE CRIMINALS AND ACCOMPLICES WERE VERY UNFREINDYL.

We try to go our way which we think is the best for the people.

I AM SHOCKED AND SORRY ABOUT THIS STATEMENT, IT SAYS A LOT! MAYBE YOU TRYFOR ONE TIME TO TALK TO WHOM YOU CALL "THE PEOPLE"! TRY TO GET IN THEIRSTRUCTURES AND THEY WILL TELL YOU A LOT OF UNCOMFORTABLE THINGS.

You might know some of the steps that we are taking but you don't know andyou can't know all what we do. Because we don't agree with your way and theactions you take you allow yourself to accuse us of supporting criminals.

NO NEED TO REPEAT MYSELF HERE - BUT WHAT ACTUALLY HAS HAPPENED? UP TO NOWTHERE IS NOT MUCH CHANGING, AT LEAST NOBODY WAS HELD RESPONSIBLE, AT LEASTNOT BY THE CURCH. YOU ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW. YOU AT LEAST WERE SUPPORTINGCRIMINALS. YOU ARE JUST STATING THE FACT THAT I MIGHT NOT KNOW SIME THINGS -THIS IS INDEED VERY HELPFUL AND INTELLIGENT.

Is it impossible for you to imagine, that a person who doesn't agree withyou in methods and action might still be a person who is caring aboutsuffering people and is trying to act in a responsible way ?

YES IT IS POSSIBLE IN SO MANY WAYS, MUCH MORE THAN YOU BELIEVE! TELL ME WHAT"METHODS" I WAS ASKING YOU TO USE? DID I? WHAT ARE MY METHODS YOU DISAREEWITH? YOU ARE NOT ACTING IN RESPONIBLE WAY BUT THIS SENTENCE WILL BE USED INPUBLICATIONS IT IS VERY EDUCATIVE.CAN YOU SHOW US THE FRUITS OF YOU CARING FOR THE SUFFERING, WHAT POSITIVEHAVE NMZ RESSOURCES DONE COMPARED TO THE PROBLEMS YOU INTRODUCED BY POURINGMONEY IN CORRUPT SYSTEMS?IN GENERAL I HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN HUMAN RIGHTS ARE ABUSED AND DONOR MONEY ENDSUP IN THE WRONG POCKETS! SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND WE DO NOT SEE ANY CHANGESSINCE YEARS.

What you pretend being facts about us, are no facts but are statements aboutour basic attitude, our moral position and our integrity as persons. You tryto proclaim to us and to the public our moral inferiority.

IN THAT MAIL I DID NOT TALK ABOUT FACTS NEITHER I PRETENDED - THIS IS AGAINYOUR INVENTION OF VOLKER SCHAUER, FACTS WERE WRITTEN IN MANY OTHER MAILS ANDEVEN HERE. YOU GOT THEM.NO, AT THAT TIME I DID NOT DO THAT TO THE PUBLIC, WHEN I WROTE IT TO YOU.NOBODY CAME BACK THOSE TIMES, SO? I PUT OUT FACTS AND YOU GOT THEM ALL, ITHINK IT WOULD BE BETTER TO DISCUSS THIS IN COURT OR WITH A MENTOR. I AM NOTPRETENDING. YOUR ARE TRYING TO DISCREDIT ME HERE.

How can you judge about us without knowing anything ? And even if you knewmore - who are you to judge ?

I AM NOT JUDGING IT IS MY OPPINION AND I REPEATEDLY ASKED FOR INFORMATION INORDER TO KNOW MORE - AS OTHERS DID - WE GOT STATEMENTS THAT ALL OF THIS ARE"INTERNAL MATTERS" AND WILL BE DEALT WITHIN THE CHURCH AND WITH THEPARTNERS. AND WHAT I DO KNOW, I KNOW FROM YOUR OWN PUBLICATONS AND THE AUDITREPORTS AND FROM WHAT THE PEOPLE TOLD ME.YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DONATIONS ARE USED IN THE RIGHT WAY?WHO ARE YOU NOT TO ACT IF SOMEBODY IS OBVIOUSLY ENGAGED IN CRIMINAL VICESAND BELONGS TO YOUR STAFF? WHO ARE YOU NOT TO FOLLOW ALLEGATIONS AND TOPROTECT THIS PEOPLE? WHO ARE YOU TO SAYS THAT I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING WHILEEVIDENCE WAS GIVEN? YOU WILL GO ON CALLING ME A LIAR EVEN IF THE PROOF IS ONYOUR DESK - THIS IS THE PROBLEM HERE!I IT IS A PROBLME OF PERCEPTION! AND OF RESPECT VOLKER SCHAUER! WHO ARE YOUTO TWIST MY WORDS? TO SAY THAT I KNOW NOTHING AND I AM JUDING? WHO ARE YOU?

These are just a few examples and I ask you to stop that now.The situation in the SCD is sad and worries me as well as my colleagues inthe other missions.

IF YOU CHANGE THE SITUATION AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR MONEY IS USED IN ARESPECTFULL WAY IN OTHER COUNTRIES I WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AT ALL. YOURWORRY DOES NOT DO MUCH.

When you decided to start your public campaigning against the leadership ofthe SCD last year you didn't ask or consult us.

AGAIN: I DID NOT START A PUBLIC CAMPAIGN AND WHOEVER SAYS THIS IS A LIAR!YOU ARE A LIAR.DO NOT DARE TO DO THAT AGAIN AND SHOW AT LEAST SOME RESPECT TO THE PEOPLEWHO DID THIS! I WAS INTERVIEWED BY TWO TANZANIAN JOURNALISTS AND THEY DO NOTNEED TO BE TOLD WHAT THEY SHOULD DO. AND I GAVE THEM MY STORY AND NOBODYSAID UP TO NOW THAT I SAID SOMETHING WRONG. I LEARNED A LOT FROM JOURNALISTSAND ABOUT THE MEDIA AND ITS ROLE, SO I DID FROM OTHER JOURNALISTS FROM OTHERCOUNTIRES. THERE ARE RULES TO DEAL WITH THE PRESS AND CERTAIN ETHICS. I DIDFOLLOW THEM AND THE JOURNALSITS I CAME ACROSS DID SO TOO. IT IS WELL KNOWN, WHO WENT TO THE PRESS AND BY THE WAY, EVERYBODY IN THISWORLD CAN GO TO THE PRESS AND THE MEDIA IS AN IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT TOOL ANDINCREASES ACCOUNTABILITY AND HELPS TO CLEAR PROBLEMS IN ANY SOCIETY -TANZANIA PROUDLY OWNS A FREE PRESS. YOU NEED TO LEARN THIS. IT IS AN IMPORTANT MEANS OF DEVELOPMENT AND FOSTERS TRANSPARENCY AND TO MYOPINION IT WAS HIGH TIME AND SHOWED VERY POSITIVE EFFECT UP TO NOW AND THETANZANIAN GOVERNMENT REACTED ON THE VICES IN MAKETE - THE CHURCH ISDIFFERENT, WE KNOW, THEY WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE DIGNITY OF THE THIEVESAND FRAUDSTERS AND NOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED UNDER THEM.WHY SHOULD FOR EXAMPLE JACKSONS MBOGELA OR VICKY NTETEMA OR ANY OTHERCONSULT YOU - MR. SCHAUER? THEY WERE ASKING THE MISSIONS ANYWAY - YOUDECIDED TO KEEP NUMB.YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR REALITY TO US AS YOU WISH - YOU CAN DO SO, AS YOUR BOSSDR. SCHAEFER RIGHTLY SAID, IT IS A PROBLEM OF PERCEIPTION HERE! YOURSTATEMENT IS JUST ANOTHER RIDICULOUS, DISRESPECTFUL, MALICIOUS AND SHMELESSSTATEMENT TRYING TO DISCREDIT THE HONEST TANZANIANS BY ACCUSING ME OF APUBLIC CAMPAIGN.READ MY BLOG FROM THOSE DAYS. ALONE THE WORDS "your campaign" ARE ANOTHERRIDICULOUS TRIAL OF YOU AS A CHURCH REPRESENTATIVE TO TWIST THE REALITY ANDTO DECLARE THE LOCAL PEOPLE WHO IDEED STARTED A CAMPAING TO GET OUT THETRUTH AND RID OF THEIVES IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT (I THINK THEY WERE RIGHT AND IGAVE THEM ANY INFORMATION I HAD AND TRIED REPEATEDLY TO CONNECT THE MISSIONSTO THEM - THIS IS A DUTY AND NOT A FAILURE) AS PUPPETS OF "DR. RAINER".WHO AM I COMPARED TO THEM AND THEY TRIED TO WORK AT HIGH ETHICAL AND MORALSTANDARDS? YOU WERE NOT HERE, BUT JUST STATING - IN SO MANY WAYS YOU JUST DO-WITHOUT HAVING TALKED WITHOUT KNOWING - WHAT YOU ARE ALLEGING ME.

It is true, that you didn't have to, but in the following time, when thingsstarted to escalate you started complaining, that we didn't support you.

ANOTHER AKWARD AND UNTRUE STATEMENT, I DID NOT COMPLAIN THAT YOU DID NOTSUPPORT ME! YOU ARE MUCH TO MUCH TALKING ABOUT ME! I WANTED YOU TOPARTICIPATE IN SUPPORTING WHAT YOU CALL "THE PEOPLE" - WELL AT LEAST TO TRYTO TALK TO THEM, AND THEIR DIFFERENT REPRRSENTATIVES.I COMPLAINED AND I AM STILL COMPLAINING THAT PATIENTS DIED AND THAT YOU WEREAND STILL ARE (AS LONG AS THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE LOST MONIES ARE NOTCLEARED) FINANCING CORRUPTION AND I DEMANDED THAT YOU SHLOULD ACT IN TIME -I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE METHODS - BUT YOURS WERE OBVIOUSLY NOT SUCCESSFUL UPTO NOW. I CAN HELP MYSELF I DO NOT NEED YOUR SUPPORT BESIDE PROTECTING THE PATIENTSAND PEOPLE ON THE GROUND. WELL MR. SCHECKENBACH DID NOT COME BACK IN TIME TOTHE MANY REQUESTS WHEN PEOPLE FROM HIS OWN MISSION FELT UNCOMFORTABLE. ITWAS SURELY NOT FAIR TO LET US DOWN WHEN WE FELT THREATENED OR BURDENED UNDERA SITUATION YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR. YOU STEADILY TRY TO MAKE VIVTIMSGUILTY. PASTOR!IT IS TRUE THAT ELCT AND SCD AND LMC SPIT INTO MY FACE BY NOT EVEN TELLINGME WHAT I HAD DONE WRONG - I DEFEND MY SKIN, MY DEAR!MAYBE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT I HAVE DONE? WE ARE NOT IN THE MIDDLE AGES INEUROPE NOR ARE WE IN A BUSH WAR AND I DEALT IN A VERY CORRECT WAY INCLUDINGTALKS AND LETTERS AND EAWM TOO WROTE MANY LETTERS, I just refused to handover FUNDS. I WAS READY TO LEAVE THE SIDE IN CIVILSED WAY, BUT MAKIGN SURETHE RIGHT USE OF THE FUNDS - YOU FAILED UP TO DATE - THAT IS THE DIFFERENCBETWEEN US!THE BISHOP AND VICE BISHOP CAME TO THE HOSPITAL AND DEMANDED THE MONEY. THELETTERS AND WAYS WE TRIED TO SOLVE THE THREAT BY SCD IS DOCUMENTED AND I HADTALKS WITH THE BISHOP WHO ASSURED ME HIS SUPPORT, THE SAME HE DID IN TALKSTO VICKY NTETEMA CONCERNING HER JOURNALISTIC WORK ABOUT THE FRAUDS -UNLUCKILY HE LIED. SHE WAS MUCH TO PATIENT WITH HIM BECAUSE HE IS A BISHOP.NOW HE WAS TAKEN OUT BY HIS ONW PEOPLE. WHO OBVIOUSLY DEMANDED THIS. I AMNOT SAYING THAT I AM NOT WITH THEM. IT IS THEIR RIGHT. AND THEY SUFFERED ALOT.

I personally don't agree with the steps of action that you take, but I maybe wrong and that could be a matter of discussion if there would be adiscussion between us.

WHICH STEPS SCHAUER?????????? WICH?????YOU ARE PROBABLY TALKING ABOUT MYSTERIOUS STEPS I DID NOT TAKE BUT YOU THINKTHAT I HAD TAKEN.MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH FIRST IN FUTURE. MAYBE YOU SITDOWN AND READ AND STUDY AND ASK LIKE I DID.....THE DISCUSSION WAS REFUSED BY YOU SINCE A LONG TIME, NOW YOU ARE BLAING MEAND INDIRECTLY OTHERS HERE! NYERERE WAS CLEVER HE ALWAYS TALKED TO ALL THE SIDES, THOUGH HE WAS BETRAYEDMANY TIMES - IT IS DIFFICULT PASTOR SCHAUER - I COMMUNICATED SINCE A LONGTIME AND IN A FRIENDLY WAY AND THIS IS IMPORTANT - WHY DO YOU COME BACK TOUS WHEN PEOPLE SUFFERED ALREADY UNDER A SITUATION WHERE NMZ HAS ITS PART?AND WHY DO YOU TALK ONLY ABOUT YOURSELF AND INSULTS. YOU REFUSED DISCUSSIONSINCE. MY FIRST MAILS TO NMZ I DID WRITE IN 2003/2004, VERY FRIENDLY ANDNOWDAYS I FEEL FOOLED BY NMZ AND OTHER MISSIONS AS I LEARNED YOU MUST HAVEALREADY KNOWN THAT I WILL DISCOVER PROBLEMS AND YOU LET ME DOWN THERFORE ANDDID NOT COME BACK. YOU NEVER WENT IN A DISCUSSION, THIS CONTRIBUTETD TO THEESCALATION. YOU CANNOT FIRST REFUSE A DISCUSSION AND LATER ON DEMAND IT. YOUCANNOT DENY TO REPLY TO SERIOUS ISSUES AND LATER ON COMPLAIN IF THINGS GETOUT OF CONTROLL.THIS IS AN INSULT PASTOR SCHAUER: YOUR WAY FO DEALING THINGS HERE.I THINK THAT MISSIONS WERE SERIOULSY INSULTING TANZANIAN PEOPLE BYIMPLEMENTING A SYSTEMS WHERE STEALING AND EMBEZLEMENTS OF DONOR MONEY ISPOSSIBLE IN A WAY WHICH WOULD NEVER BE ACCEPTED IN EUROPE AND SURELY NOT INTHE TRADITIONAL TANZANIAN VILLAGE.I HAVE SEEN THE TEARS OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE FIGHTING AGAINST CORRUPTION ANDTHEFT IN THE CHURCH - I WAS ASKING FOR THEM AND IN FRONT OF YOU TO ACT ANDTO STOP TO SUPPORT THIS NONSENSE. YOU DID NOT TAKE PROPER MEASURES, THEREARE NO RESULTS AND PEOPLE DIED, THIS IS SERIOUS.

I would never think of touching your moral integrity only because I have theopinion that you are doing the wrong thing.

IF YOU HAVE REASONS TO DO THAT YOU SHOULD TELL ME AND IF I DO NOT REACT YOUSHOULD TELL THIS EVEN TO OTHERS MR. SCHAUER, I HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL WITHTHAT. BUT I THINK THAT I UNDERSTAND THE CENTER OF YOUR COSMOS.

And even if I see that people could suffer from the results of yourbehaviour I would always try to make a difference between a criticism andthe attempt to damage your moral integrity until I have the proof that Youare willingly and knowingly trying to hurt other people or doing criminalacts.

BY THIS MAIL AND THE THINGS YOU ARE SPREADING YOU WERE TRYING TO DAMAGE MYINTEGRITY, MY CAREER AND ALL THIS COSTED ME MUCH. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOUARE DOING THESE ACTS WILLINGLY OR KNOWINGLY BUT YOU WERE INFORMED SINCE LONGAND IF YOU DO NOT KNOW FROM YOUR OWN RECORDS, THEN I AM SORRY AND I WANT TOAPOPLOGIZE THAT I HURT YOU AND I CAN DO THIS EVEN IN A PUBLIC NEWSPAPER INTANZANIA - BUT IN THIS CASE YOU ARE NOT CAPAPBLE TO HOLD THE POST OF ASECRETARY IN A RESPONIBLE WAY - MAYBE THIS IS THE PROBLEM HERE!

I want to say one word more to your accusations against the Tanzaniasecretary of the Bavarian Mission, Manfred Scheckenbach.Principally these are the same accusations that you are proclaiming againstus all. But you do attack him in a special way. You are speaking about himin an insulting and disdainful way in nearly every second letter. That youaccuse him of "speaking without content" and that "the protection of hiscriminal friends is above all to him" are only two examples. I could addmore.

IT MIGHT BE HURTING AND YOU KNOW WELL THAT I SAID SORRY TO HIM FOR THAT IN AMAIL, WHILE HE DID NEVER CORRECT HIS WRONG AND DAMAGING STATEMENTS CONCERINGTHE HAART PROGRAMME AND MY ROLE IN THE WHOLE CASE HERE. AND THIS HIS PART OFTHE STORY IS MUCH OLDER THAN MY MAIL - I RECENETYL WROTE A MAIL TO HIM AGAINAND I DEFENDET HIM MUCH TOO LONG A TIME IN TANZANIA.WELL, HIS TRIALS TO HIDE AND NOT TO ACT AND HIS CLAIM THAT HE IS NOTRESPONSIBLE (THOUGH BEING THE VICE CHAIRMAN OF LMC BOARD) JUST UNDERLINESTHE IMPRESSION I HAVE. HE CONFRIMED PART OF THE FRAUDS, HIS MISSION ISINVOLVED IN MAKETE BUT THEN? HE GOT MANY FRIENDLY LETTERS AND DID NOT ACTAND SAID THAT HE DOES NOT WANT TO INTERFERE INTERNAL MATTERS OF HIS PARTNERSTHOUGH HE IS IN. BUT WHEN HE FELT COMFORTABLE HE ISSUED UNTRUE STATEMENTSAND INTERFERED, HE NEVER CAME BACK WHEN WE REACTED ON HIS WORNG STATEMENTS.THE STORY IS OLD AND THE MISSION IN BAVARIA FAILED TO RECOVER THE MONEY ANDIT IS OF COURSE UNFAIR TO ACCUSE US FOR DAMAGING THE CHURCH FOR THE ONLYFACT THAT WE REFUSED TO GO ON LIKE THE OTHER MISSIONS AND DID NOT HAND OVEROUR FUNDS.I STICK ON IT, HE SHOWS MORE SOLIDARITY WITH CRIMINALS THAN WITH THE PEOPLEHE SHOULD SERVE, HE NEVER CAME OUT WITH AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT AND BAVARIANMISSIONS ARE STILL NOT TELLING THE TRUTH TO THE DONORS. AND THEY SPREAD LIESABOUT ME DURING THE RECENT YEARS, TO THE BAVARIAN BISHOP AND TO THETANZANIAN PRESIDENT. I NEVER DID SUCH THINGS.

I know Manfred Scheckenbach since some time and I know that he really isfighting very hard to clear up the situation and is struggling thatconsequences are being taken. And I know him as a very honest and decentperson.

WELL; UNLUCKILY I CANNOT BE WITH YOU HERE. HE MIGHT BE WORKING HARD BUT THEOUTCOME OF HIS EFFORTS ARE - NIL?. I THINK HE IS SOFT AND CANNOT RESISTSOMEBODY WHO SETS HIM UNDER PRESSURE LIKE SOME ELCT REPRESENTATIVE PROBABLYDID, HE FEELS GUILTY FOR THE WRONG THINGS - THIS IS HIS TRAGEDY. HE SHOULDREAD HIS REPORTS AND ACT ACCORDINGLY AND SHOULD STOP TRYING TO TWIST FACTSEVEN IN FRONT OF HIS UNINFORMED BAVARIAN CHRUCH MEMBERS - HE IS THE LMC VICECHAIR PERSON AND RESPONSIBLE IN MANY CASES. IT IS NOT HONEST TO GIVE THEIMRESSION THAT HE HAS NO POWER WHILE SITTING IN THE LMC BOARD AND BEING THEBIGGEST DONOR OF ELCT.WHAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE? TO LOOK FOR A NEW TRESURER OR ADIVISOR PAID BYDONOR MONEY IF THE OLD ONE "FAILED" (IS A CRIMINAL) - TO SEND ANOTHERINTERNAL PROBE TEAM OR COMISSION AND WAIT FOR RESULTS, WHEN FACTS ARE ON HISDESK AND KNOWN TO HIM SINCE YEARS?I SEE HIM HIDING AND NOT SHOWING ANY TRANSPARENCY AND PROTECTING THE CHURCH(OF THIEVES) FROM "OUTSIDE DAMAGE", WHILE THE MISSION HE IS PRESENTING ISOBVIOUSLY FINANCING CORRUPTION IN TANZANINA SINCE LONG - IF THE ELCT REPORTSARE TRUE. AND IT COULD BE WORSE. HE IS NOT AN OUTSIDER HE IS THERE AS ADECISION MAKER AND RESPONSIBLE.

Your way of spitting at him is absolutely intolerable.

I DID NOT SPIT AT HIM, HE DID NOT COME BACK TO MY MAILS, GAVE OUT WRONG ANDDAMAGING STATEMENTS CONCERNING THE HAART PROGRAMME AND THE POSITION OF EAWM,HIS PARTICIPATION IN RUMOR MONGERING WAS DAMAGING ME PERSONALLY AND HE DIDNOT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF RESPONSIBILITY OR SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE WHOSUFFERED UNDER THE LACK OF ACOUNTABILTIY IN THE UKINGA.MAYBE HE JUST TOOK UP WHAT OTHERS AT ELCT TOLD HIM AS A DEFENCE STRATEGY BUTTHIS DOES NOT JUSTIFY HIS STATEMENTS ABOUT ME WHICH ARE SIMILAR TO YOURSWHEN IT COMES TO THE SCD BISHOP. YOU HAVE SINCE LONG A PROBLEM HERE.

I ask myself whether the word respect does mean anything to you and I am nottalking about respect against your friends, but respect against a person whohas another opinion as you and has chosen to go another way than you wanthim to do.

YES IT MEANS A LOT. BUT DIES IT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU? WE CAN GO ON TO PUTTHIS BLAME UP AND DOWN. I TOO NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOURFROM ELCT AND MISSION SIDES AND ALL THOSE IN THE CHURCH BLAMING OTHERSSHOULD LOOK IN THEIR FILES AND FIND OUT HOW OFTEN THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN TOCOME BACK TO VERY FRIENDYL LETTERS.WELL PART OF THE REASON MAY BE FOUND IN LIES SPRED BY OTHER PEOPLE HERE? IDID NOT START STATING THINGS ABOUT THE METHODS AND BEHAVIOUR OF THE MISSIONSAND THEIR WAYS TO ACT IN TANZANIA. YOU AND SCHECKENBACH DID. IT WOULD HAVEBEEN GOOD TO TAKE MY EARLIER MAILS SERIOUS AN TO GET INTO DISCUSSIONS WHEN IREJECTED HIS STATEMENTS.I DID NOT CRITZISCE YOU ABOUT YOUR BEHAVIOUR AT THAT TIME. SCHECKENBACH DIDIN A MAIL TO THE GS AND BLAMED THE HAART PROGRAM FOR DIVIDING THE HOSPITAL,WHILE IT WAS DIVIDED BY THIEVES AND CORRUPTION AND COMPLETE LACK OFACCOUNTABILITY. SALARIES OF THE HAART PROGREM WERE DECIDED WITH THE GS OFSCD AND THE DOCTOR IN CHARGE AND WERE MUCH, MUCH LOWER THAN THE MONEY STOLENBY SOME THIEVES AT THE SAME TIME - THIS WAS AN INSULT OF MANFREDSCHECKENABCH TO THIS PEOPLE.TELL US (WE HAVE WORKED THERE AS DOCTORS FOR YEARS) FOR WHICH PURPOSES THEMONEY IN THE HOPSITAL WAS USED - MAYBE WE ARE STUPID AND SHOULD GO BACK TOMEDICAL SCHOOL?

I know that Manfred Scheckenbach can speak for himself ( what he has done )and he didn't ask me to say something about it.

HE DID NOT SPEAK TO ME. SO HE SHOULD DO SO! I CALLED HIM SEVERAL TIMES AND IHELPED HIM SEVERAL TIMES WHEN HE NEEDED MY HELP. WHEN THE SITUATION BECAMETIGHT HE KEPT NUMB AND HE PUT STATEMENTS OUT WHICH WERE DAMGING TO MEWITHOUT PROVING ITS CONTENTS.

But I want to ask you one question and to give you one advice :The question is : What makes it so important for you to try to humiliateother people ?

I WAS ANGRY AND SAW THE PEOPLE DYING AND FINANCING MISSIONS REFUSING TO TAKETHEIR RESPONIBILITY FOR THE SITUATION. IF THEY WOULD HAVE SAID A SINGLE WORDAND REACTED IN A TOUGH WAY WHEN IT COMES TO THE MONEY THEY PROVIDED, THESITUATION WOULD NOT HAVE COME TO THAT! PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SURVIVED! THISSITUATION AND THE "WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PEOPLE" AND DR. "RAINER ISJUST DISSAPOINTED BECAUSE HIS PROJECT FAILED" WAS HUMILIATING. IT JUST AGAINAND AGAIN SHOWS THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT NOT I AM THE PROBLEM BUT THESITUATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHS ABUSES BY PEOPLE WHO CHEWED THE MONIES YOU DIDPROVIDE AND STILL ARE IN THEIR HANDS.I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THAT I AM A DOCOTR AND YOU ARE A PASTOR, YOU CARE FORTHE CHURCH.IT IS NOT IMPORTANT TO HUMILIATE OTHER PEOPLE.TELL ME, WHY ARE YOU OR THE BAVARIAN MISSION TRYING TO GO ON TELLING LIESABOUT ME OR IN YOUR CASE ABOUT THE SITUATION IN THE UKINGA - IF WE BELIEVETHE PROTOCOLL ABOUT THE CORRUPTION MEETING IN HAMBURG? THE BAVARINA MISSIONDID THIS IN WRITTEN FORM IN FRONT OF A PRESIDENT AND A BISHOP? WHAT DOES ITMAKE SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO GO ON TELLING LIES ABOUT ME WITHOUT KNOWINGANYTHING AND WITHOUT AT LEAST CHECKING WITH ME? YOU ARE SINCE LONG USING MEAS A PHANTOM IN ORDER TO FIGHT THE WRONG WAR AND TO ESCAPE YOURRESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS MY QUESTION TO YOU

The advice is : You should apologise to Manfred Scheckenbach and You shoulddo it in public.

SAME TO YOU! I DID SO AS YOU KNOW. SHOULD I DO A FULL PAGE IN A TANZANIANPAPER BY PRINTING THE ORIGINAL MAIL? I AM READY TO DO SO. BUT I WILL GIVETHE BACKGROUNDS. AS YOU KNOW I WROTE HIM A MAIL, WELL HE NEVER CAME BACK TO MINE WHEN I FELT,THAT HE PUT OUT STATEMENTS WHICH WERE DAMAGING TO MY WORK AND WHICH WERE NOTTRUE. THIS WAS LONG BEFORE AND INDEED MALICIOUS. THIS IS TRUE FOR THE WHOLEOF THE MISSION ONE WORLD - THEY ARE LYING ABOUT ME. I DID NOT ATTACK HIM INPUBLIC AND I WROTE THE MAIL TO HIM AND YOU KNOW THAT. I WROTE MANY YOU DIDNOT SEE BEFORE. THE LATEST MAILS I USED STRONG WORDS AGAIN AS I LEARNED THATSOMETIMES THINGS ARE ONLY MOVING BY DOING SO. IT PAINS BUT PEOPLE WHO ARENOT ABLE TO START A DISCUSSION IN A FRIENDLY WAY AND BY COMING BACK TO MAILS- THERE IS NO OTHER WAY IT SEEMS.

The NMZ is willing and interested to co-operate with everybody who wants tosupport the people in the SCD in a fair and reasonable way. And we will dothat as far as we can do it.

I CANNOT SEE ANYBODY HERE IN THE ELCT OR THE MISSIONS WHO DID SUPPORT "thepeople" THIS IS TRAING TO PUT YOUR TRUTH OVER "THE PEOPLE" WHO YOU STEADILYEXCLUDE IN BIG PARTS - ESPECIALLY TAKEN IN ACCOUNT THE TERRIFYING SITUATIONTHE MAKETEANS AND OTHER TANZANIANS HAD TO FACE DUE TO THE SITUATION - NOBODYCOOPERATED WITH ANY REPRESENTAVIES OF THE COMMUNITY, PATIENT'SREPRESENTATIVES, MEDIA, WAZEE, VILLAGE COMMITTEES AND SO ON... THE PROBETEAM WAS ASKED TO DO SO BUT DID NOT, THEY CAME AND JUST PUT - UNDER THELEADERSHIP OF HOFGREN - A PARTLY UNTRUE AND MISLEADING REPORT TO THE ELCTPRESIDING BISHOP, WHO BY THE WAY HIMSEL IN THE LMC REPORT USED A LANGUAGEAND PICTURE WHICH CAME CLOSER TO THE TRUTH THAN THE REPORT ISSUED BYHOFGREN. HE WAS WISE AND MUCH MOIRE FAIR.YOU ARE AND WERE NOT FAIR TO THE PEOPLE WITHIN SCD AS YOU DID NOT PUT THEFACTS ABOUT MONIES AND RESSOURCES USED FOR SCD/ELCT FROM YOUR SIDE TO THECOMMUNITY. NEVER YOU CAME BACK TO THE REPORTS OF JACKSON MBOGELA FOR EXAMPLEAND MANY THINGS ARE STILL NOT CLEARED AND PENDING - NO TALKS ABOUTALLEGATIONS AND FACTS. NO HONEST COMMUNICATION OF ELCT WITH THE COMMUNITY,THE MEDIA AND OTHER PLAYERS.YOU ARE STATING ONE THING AND DOING THE OTHER. YOU ARE NOT COOPERATING WITHPEOPLE WHO DONATED, SUFFERED, VOLUNTEERED, INDICATED AND INVESTIGATED THEFRAUDS.WHO IS THE PEOPLE? YOU HAVE SEVERE ALLEGATIONS TO FACE AND YOU ARE TO MYOPPINION NOT THE ORGANIZATION TO DECIDE WHO YOU ARE COOPERATING WITH AND WHONOT - THIS SHOULD BE CLEARED BY THE COURT OF LAW OR A REAL INDEPENDENTCOMMISSION, I KNOW THAT NO RELIGIOUS ORGANISATION IS ACCEPTING THIS. PROBLEM INDEED!

I don't have much hope that I can change your opinion about us. You may goon thinking, that we are lazy, stupid, blind, not caring about the needs ofpeople. You may think whatever you want or choose to think.

I DID NOT THINK THAT YOU ARE LAZY OR STUPID. YOU ARE CARELESS WITH THE MONEYIN YOUR HANDS, SINCE YEARS - YES INDEED! AND YOU ARE CARELESSLY SPREADINGRUMORS WITHOUT MAKING SURE THEIR CONTENTS. IT IS BECAUSE YOU DID NOT TRY TOTALK TO ALL THE SIDES. I TRIED, MEDIA TRIED AND MANY OTHERS TRIED AND STILLTRY TO GET OUT THE TRUTH - THE ONE WHO DOES NOT TALK AND REFUSESCOMMUNICATION GETS WHAT HE/SHE DESERVES AT THE END.

But I am very serious about asking you : Stop spreading the untruth aboutus, stop with your insults and the most important thing of all : stop todefame us in the public.

YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MY LANGUAGE AND THAT YOU FEEL INSULTED BUT NOT ABOUTCONTENTS HERE AND LET ME BE VERY SERIOUS NOW:WHERE DO I SPREAD THE UNTRUTH? I THINK IT IS YOU WHO IS TRYING TO TWIST THETRUTH AND TO DEFAME ME THROUGH THAT! TELL ME A SINGLE STATEMENT WHICH IS NOTTRUE AND BASED ON FACTS ABOUT THE ACTIONS OF THE MISSIONS. UP TO NOW I DIDNOT HEAR ANYTHING WHICH WOULD LEAD TO THE SITUATION THAT I'M READY TO CHANGEANY STATEMENT PROVEN WRONG OR I CANNOT PROVE TRUE. UP TO NOW I DID NOT EVENHEAR ANY. I HEARED LIES ABOUT ME AND COMMUNICATED THEM. PARTLY THEY WERECORRECTED BY MISSION ONE WORLD.TO CALL MY STATEMENTS AND THE THINGS I REPORT ABOUT IN PUBLIC DEFAMATIONS ORLIES IS VERY PROBLEMATIC AS I SEE IT ANOTHER STRATEGY TO CALL ME A LIAR ANDTO ESCAPE RESPONISIBILTY.I KNOW THIS STRATGEY FROM SEVERAL ANTIDEMOCRATIC SYSTEMS. SAYING THAT YOU BEDEFAMED WHILE YOU DO SO BY THIS ALLEGATION WITHOUT STATING ONE FACT.

Coming to the end and personally and frankly spoken : For the time being Idon't see any room to co-operate with a person who calls me a killer.

I DID NOT CALL YOU A KILLER MR. SCHAUER, BUT OF COURSE NOWADAYS I KNOW THATNMZ AND SO YOU ARE AS AFRICA SECRETARY TO A BIG PART RESPONISBLE FOR THECHAOS IN SCD AND THE ELCT AND THE DEATH OF PEOPLE.YOU CARELESSLY FINANCED IT SINCE YEARS.THIS IS NO JOKE - THIS IS EVIDENT AND YOUR INPROPER ACTION AND WAYS TO COMEBACK TO US TOO!I ALSO DO NOT SEE REASONS TO COOPERATE WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE LEADINGORGANIZATIONS WHO POURED MONEY INTO CORRUPTION, FRAUD and SUPPRESSION AND ITOO THINK THAT YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE THIS.
