SUBJECT: AMBASSADOR URGES TANZANIA?S PRIME MINISTER FORWARD 
IN FIGHT AGAINST AIDS AND FINANCIAL CRIME 
 
REF: DAR ES SALAAM 01090 
 
1.  (SBU) SUMMARY.  To urge the Government of Tanzania 
(GOT) forward on HIV/AIDS testing policy and anti-money 
laundering (AML) legislation, Ambassador Retzer, together 
with USAID Director Pam White, called on Prime Minister 
Lowassa during their visit to Dodoma on July 19.  Prime 
Minister Lowassa promised to work with the Minister of 
Health to address the GOT's delayed procurement of new test 
kits and delayed transition to new and more effective "pin- 
prick" test technology.  On the AML issue, Prime Minister 
Lowassa assured the Ambassador that the legislation was 
progressing and would be introduced in the October 2006 
Parliamentary session with an appropriate Swahili name. 
From his side, the Prime Minister expressed his worry that 
the emerging conflict in the Middle East might extend to 
Iran. END SUMMARY. 
 
Reform Needed: Tanzania's HIV/AIDS Testing Policy 
--------------------------------------------- ---- 
 
2.  (SBU)  The Ambassador expressed to Prime Minister 
Lowassa his continuing concern regarding HIV/AIDS testing 
in Tanzania, especially the GOT's delay in transitioning to 
easier to use "pin-prick" test kits.  Highlighting the 
urgency of the matter, the Ambassador said, "Every day 435 
Tanzanians die from AIDS; that is like a passenger plane 
crashing in Tanzania every day."  White added that 
currently three quarters of the country is lacking test 
kits and that without testing, the U.S. cannot get people 
on life saving drugs. Lowassa looked surprised and 
responded that he had already told the Minister of Health, 
Dr. David Mwakyusa, to look into the problem. 
 
3.  (SBU)  When the Ambassador noted that Dr. Mwakyusa had 
been unprepared to provide a response on the issue earlier 
in the morning, Lowassa immediately told his assistant in 
Swahili to have the Minister of Health report to his office 
at 2:00 p.m.  Lowassa promised to address the issue and 
said, "Ambassador, I realize this must be very important to 
you since we have discussed this twice in just two weeks." 
(See Reftel A). 
 
4.  (SBU) When the Ambassador emphasized the need for 
stronger legislation on HIV/AIDS testing, Lowassa's first 
reaction was that "opt-out testing" might be too harsh. 
However, Lowassa seemed unfamiliar with the concept and 
when the Ambassador and White couched it in the context of 
testing those patients who might be at higher risk, such as 
pregnant women and patients with Tuberculosis, Lowassa 
fully agreed that such testing would be sensible. 
 
New: Anti-Money Laundering has Swahili Soundbite 
--------------------------------------------- --- 
 
5.  (SBU) Addressing the second item on the Ambassador's 
agenda, Prime Minister Lowassa assured the Ambassador that 
the GOT was making progress on the Anti-Money Laundering 
(AML) Bill.  He said that a Cabinet sub-Committee had 
already looked at the bill closely.  The plan was to 
introduce the legislation during the October 2006 
Parliamentary session and Lowassa did not foresee any 
problems with the bill's passage.  Smiling, Lowassa told 
the Ambassador that the sub-Committee had even given the 
legislation a good Swahili name: "Biashara Kusafisha Pesa" 
(Business to Clean Money).  Lowassa translated this for the 
Ambassador and appeared pleased with the image of someone 
literally trying to clean or wash illegality off money. 
 
Tanzania on the National Mall 
----------------------------- 
 
6. (SBU) Finishing with an upbeat agenda item, the 
Ambassador introduced Prime Minister Lowassa to the concept 
of the annual Smithsonian summer exhibition on the National 
mall in Washington D.C.  The Ambassador explained that 
every year the event honors one country, bringing wide 
exposure to the country's culture and tourist sites. 
Drawing more than one million visitors per year, the 
Ambassador suggested what a unique opportunity the event 
could offer if Tanzania were selected.  Prime Minister 
Lowassa appeared receptive to the notion and again signaled 
to his assistant asking to call on the Minister of Tourism 
(Anthony Diallo) to look into the idea.

8. (SBU)  Second, Lowassa asked Ambassador Retzer for 
insight about the situation in Lebanon and expressed fears 
that the conflict could spill over into Iran.  Ambassador 
explained that Israel had been fighting for life since its 
birth, a small state surrounded by countries rejecting its 
raison d'etre.  Emphasizing the U.S. government's hope for 
a diplomatic solution to the problem, the Ambassador told 
Lowassa that the Secretary of State, Condelezza Rice, would 
be traveling to the region in the near future.  The 
Ambassador also stressed the importance of non-aligned 
countries serving as mediators through the United Nations 
to prevent further escalation. 
 
Comment: PM Responsive to USG Priorities 
---------------------------------------- 
 
9. (SBU)  Comment:  The joint call on Prime Minister 
Lowassa, by the Ambassador and USAID Director Pam White, 
followed on the heels of their June 23 meeting and proved a 
powerful way to drive home the importance of two USG 
priorities in Tanzania: fighting HIV/AIDS and fighting 
financial crime.  The message on HIV/AIDS testing, for 
example, clicked when Lowassa exclaimed, "Ambassador, this 
must be very important since you have raised it twice in 
just two weeks."  Calling on his aides to arrange follow-up 
meetings to address the Ambassador's concerns, Lowassa 
demonstrated his continuing responsiveness to U.S. 
interests.  The adoption of a catchy Swahili soundbite for 
the AML bill was also music to our ears, signaling greater 
country ownership of the money laundering problem.  The 
GOT's adoption of a Swahili acronym for its Poverty 
Reduction Strategy in 2005 ("Mkukuta") gave the document a 
new significance and the name is now widely used among GOT 
officials, the donor community and even the general 
population.  END COMMENT. RETZER
