Tanzania is the one of the poorest countries in the world. 60 per cent of the population live on less than £1.40 a day and Tanzania has a total debt of £4.4 billion. Furthermore, 9.8 million Tanzanians do not have access to safe water (28 per cent). Biwater is a company with an annual turnover of £160 million that provides water services around the world. Early this year the Tanzanian Government spectacularly terminated a water privatisation contract with Biwater just two years into a ten year contract for failing to improve water supplies. Now Biwater wants compensation for the money it would have got if the contract had lasted ten years - this will amount to millions, and will take years to resolve.
