Anywhere in the world money laundry and corruption in general is mentioned, Nigeria must be culpable in the discussion.

We have a lot of ground to cover and we haven't started at all

Rolls-Royce has reported £4.6bn ($5.7bn) annual loss largely due to currency depreciation and payment of $808m fine to affected countries where it was involved in corrupt practices.

According to a news agency, The Nerve, the motoring company had last month (January) apologised for the corruption case that centred around allegations that the group hired middlemen to broker deals in a number of countries including Nigeria, South Africa and Angola.

In 2016, Rolls-Royce and its agent company in Nigeria, PSL Engineering and Control, ordered to supply gas turbines to power plants in the oil states of Bayelsa and Delta, were accused of various projects, especially to Oghareki power plant in Delta that cost $100m but was never completed.

Findings from an investigation conducted by the Guardian and the British Broadcasting Corporation had uncovered leaked documents and testimony from insiders that suggested that Rolls-Royce might have benefited from the use of illicit payments to key officials and politicians to boost profits for years.

The Guardian/BBC investigation, called Panorama, revealed that Nigeria, Angola and South Africa were part of the 11 countries the company had hired intermediaries.

The investigation also revealed Rolls-Royce hired Fana Hlongwane, who is close to South Africa’s ANC government, in 2008 to help broker deals in the country.

Although, Nigeria or South Africa have yet to get any amount from the agreement, the company revealed last month it had agreed to pay £671m to settle corruption cases with the United Kingdom, the United States and Brazilian authorities.

The company’s Chief Executive, Warren East, took the helm in 2015 and has been tasked with turning around the company.

East said, “While we have made a steady start, more remains to be done. The addition of new management and a renewed focus within the business leadership teams, with clear goals and stronger accountabilities, should provide a strong platform for further progress in 2017.”

He added he would reveal further plans about the firm’s direction later this year.

Rolls Royce (the aero engines and gas turbines manufacturing company) and Rolls Royce Motors are two completely different and unrelated companies so the motoring company could not have apologised for corruption related to gas turbines deals. smh for these bloggers who do no research before publishing.

Wrong. The Rolls-Royce in the article is the engine maker and not the luxury car manufacturer. Totally different.

Different management, different industry. Rolls-Royce as engine maker (aviation, maritime industry) not Rolls-Royce Motors as owned by her parent BMW.

Please rectify.



Wrong. This is the company's worst results in decades. Rolls-Royce is one the few remaining British industrial giants and with May's administration talking industrials and manufacturing, anything that happens to this firm negatively will disturb her.

Furthermore, albeit, I don't condone corruption but heavy fines like this severely affects western corporations vis-a-vis their Chinese and Indians counterparts. Rolls-Royce is not at fault. The fault lies with the respective governments. Majority of African governments demand kickbacks in return for contracts, in my opinion, give them what they want and get the contract. It's their loss (corrupt governments) not the company's. If not the Chinese, Russians and Indians will get it (contracts). Business doesn't know sentiments.

The Western governments couldn't care less. They're short of money, and anything to justify hefty fines that'll hurt them later is justified, as long as it boosts their generated revenue. Slap the word corruption on it and their populace will gobble it like a picnic snack.

The real eff up is the fact that the African government officials repatriate proceeds of the corruption back to the same Western countries. One day and out of the blue, the countries would then try to seize the money and it'll take decades before they send the money back. Most times the Western countries coerce the African officials to do their bidding by threatening to withhold their money.

And we still don't learn.

If corrupt African officials used the proceeds of their corruption to build industries and invest in Africa, Africa would fare better.

The Western governments gain and everyone else loses in the long-run. It's smart tho'.

Sad but 100% true! That's why many of these western construction firms shun Nigeria.
