La Tasca at centre of bidding war
Spanish theme bar and restaurant group La Tasca, which earlier this week was considering a £96 million cash offer from the Tragus Group, is now reeling from a surprising new offer. A bid vehicle called TFT, which consists of Iranian entrepreneur Robert Tchenguiz and Icelandic bank Kaupthing, has trumped Tragus' offer with an £98.6 million bid. The new bid would see La Tasca shareholders receive 188p in cash per share, up from the 185p per share offer from Tragus. AIM-listed La Tasca, which has its headquarters in Greater Manchester, has said it is considering its position. However, Tragus has declined to comment. La Tasca chief executive James Horler told the Manchester Evening News: "This changes things a little. We'll obviously sit down and have a look at the new bid. It shows the appetite for the business and our sector.
Uganda: Graft - Abandon Open Bidding
If a Ugandan mother were in labour, government policy would respond to her safety needs by locating a health centre near her. This is because high maternal mortality rates have a close relationship with the availability of health services. Many emergencies in Uganda, which have a direct influence on daily livelihoods, however, are a victim of the slow grind of the procurement process. Over the past several years, major public works have been stuck in the gridlock of government procurement procedures. This is a serious matter since it is estimated that over half Uganda's total budget passes through the procurement system every year. Consider then that 90% of the complaints received by the Inspector General of Government (IGG) reportedly concern contested procurements, which inevitably lead to delays as investigations take place.
Uganda bids to host 2010 World Cup teams
Officials from the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) are expected to inspect the facilities in Uganda on Tuesday to decide their suitability for hosting build-up games before the 2010 World Cup. FIFA officials David Petranshvili and Essan Ahmed will check the Namboole Mandela National Stadium and several hotels in the East African country currently being prepared for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). Charles Masembe, the chief executive of the Uganda soccer governing body FUFA, revealed that the 40,000-seated Namboole stadium was high on the list of likely training venues before the World Cup starts. "They are looking for venues in Africa that will help the visiting countries acclimatize to the South African weather," Masembe was quoted by New Vision daily on Tuesday as saying.
