Basil Pesambili Mramba (15 May 1940 – 17 August 2021) was a Tanzanian CCM politician who served as Member of Parliament for the Rombo constituency from 2004 to 2014.[1]

Biography

In 2015, he and former minister Daniel Yona were sentenced to three years' imprisonment for awarding an audit contract to UK firm Alex Stewart Assayers which meant its operations in Tanzania were exempt from tax. After seven months in prison, the remainder of Mramba's and Yona's sentence was commuted to community service.[2]

He died from complications of COVID-19 on 17 August 2021 in Dar es Salaam at the age of 81 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Tanzania.[3][4]
