UHURU WA HABARI TANZANIA #Hekaya za Ray Mtani

2013-05-03T15:07:00.001+03:00

Na Raymond Mtani

Leo ni siku ya uhuru wa habari dudiniani, lengo kuu la maadhimisho ya siku hii may 3, (world press freedom day) ni:

• kukuza uelewa kuhusu umuhimu wa uhuru wa habari na
• kukumbusha serikari wajibu wake wa kuheshimu na kuthamini haki ya uhuru wa kujieleza kama unavyotajwa katika Ibara ya 19 ya mkataba wa haki za binadam.

Labda kwa faida ya jumla Ibara ya 19 ya mkataba wa kimataifa wa haki za binaadam inasomeka hivi “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; the right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers”

Kila mtu anao uhuru wa kuwa na maoni na kueleza fikra zake; anayo haki ya kutafuta, kupokea na kutoa habari bila kujali mipaka. Zaidi tafsiri ya Ibara hiyo imehuishwa katika ibara ya 18 ya katiba ya JMT 1977 na mabadiliko yake ya mwaka 2005.
Kwangu mimi siku hiyo ni zaidi ya muhimu kwa ustawi wa demeokrasia ya nchi yetu, ni muhimu kwa ajili ya kuhamasisha na kuchochea mawazo mbadala, hasa ikizingatiwa kuwa mwaka huu waandishi na jamii ya wapenda haki za binadamu wanaadhimisha siku hiyo kukiwa na kumbukumbu ya matukio mabaya kupata kutokea katika historia ya nchi yetu,

Naam nitataja machache, mosi ni mauaji ya kinyama ya mwandishi Daudi mwangosi akiwa kazi kutafuta habari kama ibara ya 18,(b) ya katiba ya JMT inavyompa haki hiyo. Ipo kumbukumbu ya Mwenyekiti wa jukwaa la wahariri kutekwa, kuteswa, kung’olewa kucha, jicho na kasha kutelekezwa hadi leo hii yungali anauguza majeraha huko Afrika kusini.

Vile vile tunaadhimisha siku hiyo kukiwa na kumbukumbu ya kutekwa, kuteswa, kungolewa kucha, meno na kutelekezwa katika msitu wa Pande kwa mwanyekiti wa jumuhiya ya mdaktari nchini Dr steven Olimboka, huyu alikuwa katika harakati za kukuza uhuru wa kujileza(haki ya msingi ya kikatiba)

Kama hiyo haitoshi ni hivi juzi may 1, mkuu wa mkoa wa Arusha alitishia waandishi wa habari akiwataka kuwa makini pindi wanapoandika habari zinazohusu migogoro ya viongozi akienda mbali zaidi na kudai roho zao zitakua mkononi

"Unapoingia katika mkakati wa kudhalilisha kiongozi wa serikali unakuwa umeiweka roho yako rehani, kuweni makini" alisema Magesa Mulongo mkuu wa mkoa wa Arusha katika maadhimisho ya siku ya wafanya kazi duniani.

Tunaadhimisha siku hii kukiwa na jaribio la Bunge kuzuia vyombo vya habari kurusha matangazo yake ya moja kwa moja ingawa jaribio hilo linaonekana kushidwa juhudi zingali zinafanywa hii ni kutokana na kiongozi mkuu wa bunge Speaker Anne Makinda kurudia mara kwa mara kuwa hawafanyi kazi taarifa za vyombo vya habari.

Mbali na msululu wa sharia mbovu zinazonyima waandishi na vyombo vya habari kwa ujumla kufanya kazi zao kwa weledi kwa kutoa taarifa zenye ushahidi wa kina, serikali imekuwa ikitumia lungu la sharia hizo mbovu kushitaki waandishi na kufungia kila chombo cha habari kinachokinzana na matakwa yake, wote tunakumbuka tukio la kufungiwa kwa gazeti la MWANAHALISI.

Orodha ni ndefu sana, yatosha kusema kila mtanzania kwa nafasi yake anawajibika kushinikiza serikali hii kuheshimu uhuru wa habari, kujieleza ni haki pekee ya msingi, siyo matakwa ya mtu bila kuwa makini kupitia haki hii tutaibiwa, tutanyanyaswa, tutateswa na kufanyiwa kila hila.
Namaliza kwa kusema ni rahisi sana kumuua mtu kuliko kumyamazisha kusema.

Kinabo mhitimu SUA aliejiajiri katika ufugaji wa samaki

2013-04-30T16:15:00.001+03:00

Mawazo ya wahitimu wengi wa vyuo vikuu nchini katika miaka ya karibuni imekuwa ni namna ya kupata ajira zenye tija.

Ndoto ya wengi ni kupata kazi za kipato kizuri na ambazo zitawawezesha kuishi vizuri, kumiliki gari, kujenga nyumba na mambo mengine lukuki.

Hata hivyo, baadhi wamekumbana na tatizo la ajira ambalo limewasukuma katika kubuni miradi ambayo itawawezesha kumudu maisha na changamoto zake.

Mmoja wao, Simon Kinabo, mhitimu wa Chuo Kikuu cha Kilimo cha Sokoine (SUA) kilichoko Morogoro ameamua kujiajiri baada ya kubuni mradi wa ufugaji wa samaki.

Mradi huo unaoitwa Rombo Unique Aquaculture, upo kilomita 60 kutoka mjini Moshi na kilomita nne kutoka makao makuu ya Wilaya ya Rombo, eneo la Mkuu.
Anasema akiwa mwanafunzi katika chuo hicho, akisomea Shahada ya Sayansi ya Viumbe wa Majini (BSc Aquaculture) alihamasika na somo la uzalishaji wa samaki na ndipo akaamua kuanzisha mradi huo kwa mtaji wake.

“Katika fedha zile za mkopo, kila nikipewa na Serikali, nilichukua kiasi kidogo na kuanzisha nyumbani mradi wa kufuga samaki.
Niliamini ni mradi mzuri ambao unaweza kubadili maisha yangu,” anasema.
Anaongeza kuwa alianzisha mradi huo kwa kuchimba bwawa dogo na kuanza kuzalisha samaki, kwa lengo la kuja kuwauza baadaye.

Mkopo wa CRDB
Anasema akiwa mwaka wa pili SUA alipata taarifa ya kuwapo mradi wa SUGECO unaoendeshwa na chuo hicho na CRDB ambao unalenga kuwawezesha wanafunzi wa elimu ya juu kuingia katika ujasiriamali.

“Baada ya kupata taarifa hizo nilijitokeza kuandika andiko la kuomba fedha na baada ya usaili, andiko langu lilipitishwa na chuo na CRDB,” anasema.
Anaongeza kuwa baada ya kupitishwa andiko lake, alipokea mkopo wa Sh20 milioni kwa ajili ya kuanzisha mradi.

Baada ya kupokea fedha, aliamua kupanua bwawa hilo na pia kuliongezea mifumo ya kuingiza maji kutoka Mto Ngwasi na kutoamaji ili liwe la kisasa.
“Nilinunua mabomba 100 ya futi 2,000 na sasa bwawa langu lina urefu chini, mita tatu hadi sita na upana mita 30,” anaeleza.

Anasema kuwa baada ya upanuzi wa bwawa alinunua samaki wadogo 3,000 kutoka Gereza la Karanga mjini Moshi ambao walikuwa ni wa jamii ya perege na kambare.
Anaongeza kuwa kila kifaranga cha samaki alikinunua kwa Sh300 na kwamba hiyo ilikuwa Mei 5, mwaka jana, alipoanza kuwapandikiza bwawani mwake.

Mafanikio ya mradi
Hadi sasa, Kinabo anasema bwawa lake linao zaidi ya samaki 40,000, kati ya hao wakubwa ni 10,000 na wadogo 30,000.
Anasema , Juni mwaka huu anatarajia kuanza kuvua samaki na matarajio yake ni kuvua tani nne za samaki.
“Nina imani tani hizo nne, nikivua naweza kupata zaidi ya Sh60 milioni na tayari nimepata masoko,” anasema msomi huyo.

Anasema tayari, amefanya mazungumzo na wakuu wa shule kadhaa za sekondari wilayani Rombo, Hospitali ya wilaya hiyo na maeneo kadhaa ambao wamekubali kununua samaki wake.

Kwa kutambua kuwa hawezi kufanya kazi hizo peke yake, mjasiriamali huyo msomi amemwajiri mtunza mazingira, James Edmund, pia hivi karibuni atakuwa na walinzi wawili na muuzaji wa samaki.

Afrika ikatae kunyonywa na kugawanywa

2013-04-27T17:46:00.000+03:00

Baraza Kuu la Umoja wa Mataifa, mwishoni mwa wiki limepitisha kwa kauli moja Tamko la Kisiasa kuhusu Utatuzi wa Migogoro Barani Afrika kwa njia ya Amani.

Tamko hilo ambalo ndani yake linaainsha na kutambua mchango mkubwa wa Muungano wa Nchi Huru za Afrika (OAU) na sasa Muungano wa Afrika ( AU) katika kuchagiza na kusimamia pamoja na mambo mengine, maendeleo ya nchi za Afrika na watu wake, kupiga vita umaskini, ujenzi wa utawala bora, demokrasia , haki za binadamu na utatuzi wa migororo kwa njia za amani.

Kabla ya kupitishwa kwa Tamko hilo, Baraza Kuu la Umoja wa Mataifa, kwa siku nzima ya Alhamisi na ijumaa asubuhi lilijikita katika majadiliano ya mada iliyohusu ‘utatuzi wa migogoro kwa njia ya amani barani afrika’, ikiwa pia ni sehemu na Baraza hilo kuadhimisha miaka 50 tangu kuanzishwa kwa OAU na baadaye AU.

Miongozi wa viongozi wakuu walioshirikia majadilaino hayo, na ambayo yaliandaliwa na Bw. Vuk Jeremic, Rais wa Baraza Kuu la Umoja wa Mataifa, ni Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Ban Ki Moon, Rais wa Equatoria Guinea Theodore Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, Rais Mstaafu wa Burundi Jean Pierre Buyoya ambaye pia Mwakilishi maalum wa Muungano wa Afrika huko Mali na Sahel, wakiwamo pia mawaziri kadhaa wa Mambo ya Nchi za Nje.

Akiungana na wazungumzaji wengine katika mkutano huo, Mwakilishi wa Kudumu wa Tanzania katika Umoja wa Mataifa, Tuvako Manongi, pamoja na kuainisha sababu na vyanzo vya migogoro Barani Afrika, alisema, Afrika lazima ifikie mahali ikatae kugawanywa.

“Bara la Afrika lina fursa nyingi, Afrika inapanda chati. Afrika lazima ikatae kugawanywa, ikatae kudharauliwa na ikatae kunyonywa” akasema Mwakilishi wa Kudumu, Tuvako Manongi.

Na kubainisha kwamba, Afrika lazima pia ikatae kutambuliwa kama bara ambalo limejaa migogoro . “ Huu ni wakati wa kufufua upya pan africanism, hiki ni kipindi cha mwamko mpya wa Afrika. Lazima tufanye kazi kwa pamoja ili kuwapa matumaini watu wetu” akasisitiza Manongi.

Wakati tukisherehekea maadhimisho ya miaka 50 wa OAU, ni vema kila mmoja wetu akaahidi upya kuimarisha ushirikiano kati ya Umoja wa Mataifa na

Muungano wa Afrika kama ilivyoainishwa katika Sura ya Saba ya Katima ya Umoja wa Mataifa.

Akatoa mfano kwa kusema uhusiano huo unapashwa kuendelezwa katika nyanja zote za usalama na maendeleo. Kama ambavyo imeshashuhudiwa katika uundwaji wa Jeshi la Mseto kati ya Umoja wa Mataifa na Muungano wa Afrika katika Jimbo la Darfur ( UNAMID), Misheni ya Muungano wa Afrika huko Somalia, (AMISOM0 na tukio la hivi karibuni la kurejewa na kuongozewa uwezo mpya Misheni ya Kutuliza Amani katika DRC ( MONUSCO) kulikoendana na kuridhiwa upelekaji wa Brigedi Maalum inayoundwa na wanajeshi kutoka Tanzania, Afrika ya Kusini na Malawi.

Aidha akasema majadiliano hayo ya Baraza Kuu la Umoja wa Mataifa, yamefanyika ikiwa ni siku chache tu, tangu kufanyika kwa Mkutano wa Baraza la Usalama la Afrika katika ngazi ya Mawaziri nchini Tanzania, mkutano ambao pia ulijadili kwa kina pamoja na mambo mengine hali ya usalama barani afrika , vyanzo vya migogoro na ufumbuzi wake.

Karibu wazungumzaji wote wakiwamo wawakilishi wa Marekani na Jumuiya ya Ulaya waliochangia majadialiano hayo ya utanzuaji wa migogoro kwa njia ya amani, licha ya kutambua, kusifu na kupongeza kazi kubwa ambayo imefanywa na inaendelea kufanywa na Muungano wa Afrika na Taasisi za Kikanda katika kipindi cha miaka 50 iliyopita, walisisitiza haja na umuhimu wa Jumuiya ya Kimataifa kuendeleza ushirikiano wake na Muungano wa Afrika.

Aidha wazungumzaji huo walitambua na kukiri kwamba Bara la Afrika licha ya changamoto mbalimbali zikiwamo za migogoro inayoibuka hapa na pale, imepiga hatua kuubwa za kimaendeleo, kiuchumi na kijamii na kwamba Bara hilo linastahili kupongezwa na kuendelea kusaidiwa.

Arudi shule baada ya utafiti wa TAMWA

2013-04-27T17:36:00.002+03:00

UTAFITI wa kihabari uliofanywa na Chama cha Waandishi wa Habari Wanawake Tanzania (TAMWA), Machi 2012 umefanikisha kumrudisha shuleni mwanafunzi wa sekondari aliyekuwa ametelekezwa yeye pamoja na familia yao.

Mwenjuma Magalu ambaye kwa sasa ni mwanafunzi wa kidato cha pili katika Shule ya Sekondari Komnyang'anyo alitelekezwa na babayake yeye pamoja na mamayake mwaka jana, hivyo kushindwa kujiunga na kidato cha kwanza katika shule hiyo licha ya kuchanguliwa kuendelea na masomo.

Hata hivyo baada ya utafiti wa kihabari kufanyika kijijini Msasa Wilaya ya Handeni na taarifa za mtoto huyo kushindwa kujiunga na sekondari baada ya mamayake (kwa sasa marehemu) kukosa uwezo kuripotiwa, alijitokeza mfadhili wa kumsomesha ambaye anagharamia masomo yake hadi sasa.

Akizungumza na mwandishi wa habari hizi juzi akiwa shuleni Komnyang'anyo, mwanafunzi huyo aliishukuru TAMWA kwa kuibua tatizo la familia yao kwa umma na kupatikana kwa mfadhili ambaye amemrudisha masomoni licha ya familia yao kutelekezwa.

"Binafsi nawashukuru sana hao (TAMWA) waliopaza sauti hadi mjuu wangu kurudi shuleni...hii kwetu ilikuwa ni ndoto kwetu maana mtoto mwenyewe alikuwa amekata tamaa kabisa kurudi shuleni na alikuwa kaanza kufanya vibarua mitaani huku wenzake wakiendelea na shule," alisema bibi wa mtoto huyo, Amina Mohamed akizungumza.

Bibi huyo akizungumzia maisha ya sasa ya familia hiyo alisema bado wanahitaji msaada wa huduma hasa baada ya mwanaye kufariki dunia mwaka jana na kumuachia watoto wake.

Aliongeza kwa sasa yeye ni mgonjwa wa TB anayetumia dawa hivyo kwa hali yake ameshauriwa kupumzika jambo ambalo limempa mzigo mkubwa kimajukumu mwanafunzi (Mwenjuma), kufanya kazi za nymbani kama kupika kulima na shughuli nyingine.

Hata hivyo mama wa mtoto huyo (Hadija Magalu) ambaye alitelekezwa na mzazi mwenzake alifariki dunia mwaka jana kwa tatizo la uzazi na kuiacha tena familia hiyo ya watoto watatu katika hali ngumu zaidi chini ya malezi ya bibi mzaa mama.

24 Kilwa villagers set up 60-ha sesame demonstration farm # keep it up AMSHA

2013-04-23T17:46:00.000+03:00

Twenty four farmers at Tilawandu village, Kilwa district in Lindi region have introduced a demonstration farm for sesame production for other villagers from the district to learn from.

Institutional Coordinator of the Amsha Institute of Rural Entrepreneurs East Africa, Omari Mwaimu told The Guardian on Saturday that villagers have decided to establish the demonstration farm to help farmers shift from traditional farming system to commercial farming.

The farm will enable more than 300 farmer groups in the district to learn from it to boost their economic fortunes , improve farmer’s network and facilitate the development of sesame production within the country.

“As I speak to you now some 150 acres of land has been cultivated and allocated as demonstration farms at Tilawandu village,” he said.

He said commercial farming is way that farmer plant various crops and harvest it for sell to get profit.

This is a new strategy designed by farmers so that they can access reliable market for their produce, assist them increase their incomes and improve their livelihoods.

According to Mwaimu, once they farmers acquire some knowledge on sesame production Amsha Institute in collaboration with Naliendele Agricultural Research Institute will provide seeds to farmers, loans to purchase pesticides, provide technical training on soil conservation, controlling pests and diseases and post-harvest storage including improvement of the quality of their produce through training on storage,” he said.

They will train farmers on accessing up to date market prices information and negotiation skills so that they can obtain a fair price for their produce from buyers or brokers to benefit from what they grow.
The groups will also be linked to markets so that they coul access reliable market for their crop.

“There is a need to educate them on commercial farming because sesame has a lot of health benefits because it is among the seeds rich in quality vitamins and minerals.

They are very good sources of B-complex vitamins such as niacin, folic acid, thiamin (vitamin B1), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and riboflavin,” he said.

“I believeimproved seeds and farming techniques would be introduced to many farmers and that the majority of farmers will benefit from what they grow and shift from traditional farming system,” he noted.

Elaborating on how small holders in Kilwa district are being supported, he said as Amsha Institute normally use member’s fees to sensitize farmers to change their mindset and convert their traditional farming system to commercial agriculture.

According to officials although Tanzania is the world’s 12th largest sesame producer, still farmers in other areas cannot meet existing demand as they lack access to seed varieties, capacity building and even technologies that would improve production within their respective farms.

To meet this demand Amsha Institute is working with Naliendele Agricultural Research Institute and Tanzania Graduate Farmers Association (TGFA) to train farmers on commercial farming to assist farmers increase sesame production and link them to markets which will significantly improve their income and livelihoods, enabling them to purchase additional food, household goods and pay for school costs.

The seeds are an also very valuable source of dietary proteins with fine quality amino acids that are essential for growth, especially in children. Just 100g of seeds provide about 18 g of protein (32 percent of daily-recommended values), according to experts.

Women in Politics- Do the right thing OR stay in office?

2013-03-05T20:29:00.001+03:00

Leila Sheikh

The 1950’s saw the emergence of indigenous voices on the
political platform of the then Tanganyika.

The voices were predominantly male which were occasionally
interspersed with a few women’s voices like that of the legendary
Bibi Titi Mohamed and that of Lucy Lameck.

The struggle for Independence was able to build up a strong
corps of indigenous leaders, who were strong, vocal and
committed to the struggle for self-governance.

The advent of Independence in 1961 brought those leaders
to the fore in governance though again, those leaders were
predominantly male, and moreover, those very same leaders were
carrying the baggage of tradition, prejudice and the legacy of
colonial structures.

The UWT was formed as a women’s political wing in TANU, the
then ruling party, and though the UWT was able to provide a
platform for women to take part in the decision making process,
it lacked the status and the political muscle to be a viable forum
for advocacy for women’s rights.

It was not treated with respect by the male leaders who viewed
it as a nest for intrigue and backbiting among women. It was also
not taken seriously.

Though to be fair, the UWT was able to foster women’s political
talent.

Among the UWT’s most notable contributions were the lobby for,
and the enactment of the Law of Marriage Act in 1971, quite a
revolutionary piece of legislation at the time!

In the wake of the multi parties consensus in Tanzania, the newly
emergent Political Parties formed Women’s Wings which to some
extent eroded the visibility of UWT which became the Women’s
Wing of CCM rather than the Community/Union of Tanzanian
Women.

Various women have held political office at the level of Cabinet
Ministers right down to local council in the last 40 years.

However, the male to female ratio in political leadership has
been at best, a façade because at a glance, women MPs have not
been able to fill the quota required by the national consensus on
affirmative action.
Neither have women’s political voices been given a solid platform
in terms of political muscle, for influencing change.

This is brought by the fact that the majority of women
politicians have to bow down to Party dictum, the Parties which
have given them political visibility and positions, to the extent
that when it comes to gender issues, they would rather stick to
the prevailing Party posture towards Gender Rights than risk
being alienated from the body politic.

Those same Gender Rights which Political Parties eschew and
include in their Manifesto during campaigns but which get
relegated to just being a Tool in their campaign strategy.

In the words of the late John F. Kennedy
“Politics is a jungle, a struggle between doing the right thing and
staying in office”.

Fear of rejection by their political parties, fear that they
would not be selected in the next Primary Elections; fear that
they would be viewed as pariahs if they become more vocal on
Gender Equality and Economic Justice; has forced many a woman
politician to suppress activism in favour of staying in office.

As a result, the women constituency has been feeling short
changed. The question among Gender Right activists is “If women
politicians are supposed to be representing our interests, then
how come they are more focused on holding on to their political
office rather than on campaigning strategically and actively for
the interests of women?”

In reality, women politicians who get elected to become Members
of Parliament for ‘Special Seats’ do not see the women of
Tanzania as their constituents. They look up to the Political
Parties which got them in office as ‘their constituent’.

To be fair to them, some women politicians have tried to push the
Gender Agenda onto the Political Agenda and various successes
have been documented, but this has happened because of the Civil
Societies (CSO) movement which has been acting as a lobby and
advocacy platform and which from time to time has been calling
on politicians, women politicians included, to account.

Most notable successes like law reform have been accomplished
by forming coalitions between the CSO movement and the

government. Voices from opposition parties have added an
impetus to such campaigns.

As a corps, women politicians are not very strong. Neither are
they very vocal. They only become strong and vocal when the
Agenda under review is consonant with their Party Policy.

However, the particular Policy initiated by the Party may
not be consonant with the interests of the Tanzanian women
constituency.

Gender Rights activists have criticized women politicians
especially those elected for special seats for forgetting that
they hold office through popular mandate.

Lack of a cohesive union among women politicians who belong to
different Political Parties has to some extent, marginalized the
interests of women constituents.

This has led to the fragmentation of women’s political strength
and the voices that come out are discordant.

Multiparty democracy and the proliferation of newspapers and
radio stations have served to make Tanzanian constituents
politically aware.

Human rights education and voters’ education programmes which
have been conducted by CSOs have helped raise the level of
awareness among Tanzanian voters.

Though the so-called political maturity styled along Western lines
has not yet been attained, more and more voices are heard from

the public through the media, and through direct contact with
Members of Parliament and local council leaders.

This dialogue needs to be strengthened so that public voices
would become amplified.

The media has been acting as a powerful tool for lobby and

advocacy in Tanzania. It has been a tool for change in attitude
towards gender stereotypes.

The media has provided a forum for peoples’ voices to be heard.

Moreover, the media has succeeded to a large extent on public
education programmes vis-à-vis legal literacy, voters’ education
and human rights awareness.

Going back in history from the time of the campaign for UHURU
to current times, there should be debate on the role of women
on the political platform which debate it is hoped, would pave the
way for more participation of women on the political platform
both in the role of political leaders as well as in the role of
voters/constituents.

Research has not yet been conducted on the women electorate
who prefer to vote for male politicians at constituency level but
it is ‘whispered’ that the women electorate is more favorably
disposed towards male politicians than towards women politicians
at the time of voting.

Until a structured survey is made, we can give the only
explanation that for centuries men have been the symbol of
authority therefore, are able sway electorate opinion in their
favor.

Also, male politicians receive more support from their political
parties. They have more money for campaigns. They are not
modest to list their achievements and they have an olds boys’
network from which they can draw support.

Women on the other hand not only operate within patriarchal
structures after they are elected, but they also have to deal with
prejudice and tradition from among their potential voters, while
they are campaigning.

This has served as a handicap and most women politicians prefer
getting elected through the Special Seats forum rather than
through electoral constituencies.

The outcome of such a strategy makes women politicians prone to
emotional blackmail from their Political Parties.

In turn, they suppress their activism, sometimes supporting
policies and action which are detrimental to the women of
Tanzania, because the alternative would be alienation, and a No-
vote next time.

There should be public debate on the following:

The issue of power vis-à-vis responsibility

More women to campaign for office at constituency level

Make visible the issue of loyalty and responsibility to
women among politicians elected for special seats.

Forum for discussion by different stake-holders on the
electoral process

Discussion on the need for policy review and reform at the
level of Political Parties to include more comprehensive
strategies and plans for gender balance and opportunities
for skills building among women politicians to ‘have a Voice’
within their Parties

Historical analysis of women on the political platform –
where we come from and where are going.

Provoke a change in the process of selection at the primary
election level so that leaders are selected on the basis of
commitment to the development process rather than on the
basis of popularity at Party level

Initiate public debate on the issue of ownership of the
development process that the elected leaders are only
custodians of the process with ownership belonging to the
constituents

The issue of accountability between both parties i.e. the
leadership and the electorate should be discussed and each
party should be called to account

Finally, women politicians need advice to stop abusing and
sometimes, physically fighting with each other.
This is stressful to women constituents who watch with dismay
at the verbal and physical abuse some women politicians throw at
each other and we ask ourselves “Are these the women we want
to represent our interests?

If they can abuse each other with impunity, would they be able to
Speak Up against Gender Based Violence?”

Mnyika kuongoza maandamano ya kudai maji Marchi 16

2013-03-05T20:19:00.002+03:00

Tarehe 16 Machi 2013 nitaongoza maandamano ya amani ya wananchi kwenda kwa Waziri wa Maji kusimamia uwajibikaji kuwezesha hatua za haraka za kuboresha upatikanaji wa majisafi na ushughulikiaji wa majitaka katika Jimbo la Ubungo na Jiji la Dar es salaam.

Wote mlioshiriki mkutano wa tarehe 10 Februari 2013 (Kwa wale ambao hamkushiriki mnaweza kutazama video hii: YOUTUBE , mtakumbuka tulimpa wiki mbili Waziri kujitokeza kwa wananchi kujibu hoja alizokwepa kujibu bungeni.

Tutakusanyika kata ya Manzese eneo la Bakhresa (jirani na daraja) saa 5 asubuhi na tutapita barabara ya Morogoro kuelekea kata ya Ubungo zilipo ofisi za Wizara ya Maji kufuatilia majibu ya ukweli na ukamilifu kuhusu hatua tisa za haraka za kuboresha upatikanaji wa majisafi na ushughulikiaji wa majitaka nilizopendekeza kwa niaba ya wananchi bungeni kupitia hoja binafsi na masuala mengine ambayo wananchi watataka yatolewe majibu siku hiyo.

Kila mmoja anaweza kuendelea na maandalizi ya kushiriki kwa kuwa tayari tarehe 4 Machi 2013 nimewasilisha notisi kwa Kamanda wa Polisi Mkoa wa Kinondoni na Maafisa wa Polisi Wasimamizi wa Maeneo kwa kuzingatia masharti ya kifungu cha 43 cha Sheria ya Jeshi la Polisi na Huduma Saidizi Sura ya 322 (The Police Force and Auxiliary Service Act, Chapter 322).

Itakumbukwa kwamba baada ya kutoa wiki mbili Waziri alijitokeza mara tatu ndani ya wiki hizo; mbili kati ya hizo ikiwa ni kupitia mikutano ya CCM na mara moja ikiwa ni kwenye mkutano kati yake na wafanyakazi wa DAWASA na DAWASCO.

Katika mkutano wa hadhara wa CCM uliofanyika Temeke mwisho tarehe 16 Februari 2013, Waziri hakutoa majibu badala yake alirudia tena maelezo yale yale potofu aliyoyatoa bungeni tarehe 4 Februari 2013.

Kwenye mkutano wa hadhara wa Goba tarehe 17 Februari 2013 ambapo aliahidi maji kutoka tarehe 20 Februari, 2013 ambayo hayakutoka. Tarehe 23 Februari 2013 nilifanya mkutano Goba na kutangaza namba zake za simu wananchi wamhoji ahadi hiyo na kutaka Manispaa, DAWASA na DAWASCO waweke kambi Goba mpaka maji yatoke.

Shinikizo hilo limesaidia baadhi ya maeneo ya Goba maji yameanza kutoka hata hivyo maeneo mengi bado hali ambayo inahitaji hatua za haraka nilizopendekeza bungeni kuhusu kata hiyo ziweze kutekelezwa.

Kupitia mkutano wake na DAWASA na DAWASCO tarehe 21 Februari 2013 (tofauti na maelezo yake bungeni) alikiri kwamba kuna upotevu wa maji ikiwemo kwa wizi, kuna biashara haramu yenye kuhusisha hujuma ya miundombinu, bei ya juu ya maji na kutozingatiwa kwa ratiba ya mgawo wa maji katika maeneo mengi ya Jiji la Dar es Salaam.

Hata hivyo, zaidi ya wiki moja imepita Waziri wa Maji na Wizara kwa ujumla haionyeshi kwa matendo kuisimamia kwa karibu EWURA, DAWASA, DAWASCO na Manispaa ya Kinondoni kuchukua hatua za haraka ambazo nilizieleza kwenye hoja binafsi.

Hivyo, wote mlioahidi kupitia mkutano wa tarehe 10 Februari 2013 kushiriki maandamano na wote ambapo mnaguswa na matatizo ya maji katika kata mbalimbali za Jimbo la Ubungo na Jiji la Dar Es salaam tukusanyike Manzese tarehe 16 Machi 2013 saa 5 asubuhi tuandamane kwenda Wizara ya Maji kwa mujibu wa Katiba ya Nchi Ibara za 8, 18, 20 na 21.

Wenu katika uwakilishi wa wananchi,

Shujaa wa Kilimo aliyekatwa Mikono akidai Mahari

2013-02-17T21:14:00.001+03:00

PAMOJA na kuwa na ulemavu wa kutokuwa na mikono yote miwili, Salim Mbela mkazi wa eneo la Delux, nje kidogo ya mji wa Songea, amefanikiwa kulima shamba la mahindi kubwa na zuri kwa kutumia miguu yake.

Ukiliona shamba hilo la Mbela licha ya kuwa na mahindi, pia lina maharage, magimbi na ndizi yaliyostawi na kupendeza.

Huwezi kuamini kuwa shamba hilo linalimwa na Mbela, ambaye ni mlemavu kwa kutumia miguu yake.

Ulemavu huo umemkuta na kulazimika kulima kwa miguu, baada ya kukatwa mikono yake alipokuwa akidai kurejeshewa mahari kutoka kwa wakwe zake.

Mbela anasema kuwa pamoja na ulemavu alioupata ukubwani, hawezi kutembea mitaani kuomba omba, wakati bado mwili wake una viungo vingine anavyoweza kuvitumia kujipatia mahitaji yake ya kila siku.

Kilichosabisha kukatwa mikono

Mbela alizaliwa miaka 53 iliyopita akiwa na mikono miwili na mwenye afya tele, lakini misukosuko ya maisha imemfanya leo abaki hana mikono yake miwili, huku akiishi peke yake.

Anaeleza kuwa kabla ya kuwa mlemavu, aliwahi kuajiriwa na Jeshi la Polisi, akifanyia kazi Kituo cha Polisi Makuyuni mkoani Arusha miaka ya nyuma, lakini alicha kazi hiyo baada ya kuugua kwa muda mrefu.

Baada ya hali hiyo, aliona bora arudi nyumbani kwao Kijiji cha Malumba wilayani Tunduru ili kuendelea kupata matibabu.

Mbela anasema kuwa alipofika kijijini kwao, aliendelea kupata matibabu na baadaye akapona.

Akizungumza kwa kusaidiwa na rafiki yake wa karibu ambaye amejitambulisha kwa jina la Zacharia Dikala, maarufu kama Babu Masai, Mbela anasema kuwa alikutana na matatizo ya kukatwa mikono miaka minne iliyopita.

Mbela ambaye pia ni baba wa watoto Mwanabibi Salim (28), Siku Salim (19) na Said Salim (24) anaeleza kuwa akiwa na mkewe na familia yake, siku moja ali kwenda nyumbani kwa wakwe zake waliokuwa wakiishi katika kijiji hicho cha Malumba na kuchukua mbuzi wake aliotoa mahari miaka ya nyuma wakati akimchumbia mkewe ambaye ndiye aliyemzalia watoto hao.

Anasema kuwa wakati huo alikuwa na nguvu na alitumia mabavu kufanya fujo, hadi akafanikiwa kufika zizini na kupora mbuzi, bila kujua kama maisha yake yange badilika na kuishia pabaya.

Hata hivyo, anajutia kitendo hicho akisema kwamba iwapo angefahamu mapema yataka yomkuta, asingethubutu kwenda kufanya fujo hizo.

“Nilikuwa najiamini sana, nilikuwa na nguvu sana, nikaamua kwenda ukweni kwangu kufuata baadhi ya mifugo yangu, niliyotoa mahari wakati namposa mke wangu,” anasimulia na kuongeza:

“Nilipofika ukweni, niliingia zizini moja kwa moja na kufungua mbuzi kwa lengo la kwenda kuwauza ili nipate fedha, lakini kwa bahati mbaya kwa kuwa ilikuwa ni usiku, walipiga kelele na mimi kwa ubabe wangu nikawafanyia fujo sana wakwe.”
Anafafanua: “Hivyo, waliitwa mgambo kutoka Kata ya Malumba, walipofika nilipambana nao, lakini walinishinda na walifanikiwa kunipiga sana, kisha kunifunga mikono yangu miwili kwa nyuma kutumia mipira, wakanipeleka na kunitupa porini. Ukweli niliteseka sana hadi nilipookotwa nikiwa sijitambui.”

Anasema kuwa baada ya mkasa huo alipoteza fahamu, alipozinduka, alijikuta akiwa amelazwa Hospitali ya Mbesa, wilayani Tunduru huku mikono yake ikiwa imeharibika vibaya na hakukuwa na njia nyingine, zaidi ya kukatwa mikono yake yote miwili na kulazwa hospitalini hapo kwa zaidi ya mwaka mmoja.

“Naumia, nimepoteza mikono yangu kwa uzembe. Ningejua kama yangenikuta haya, nisingefanya fujo zile, ila nashukuru Mungu nipo salama na maisha yangu yanaendelea,” anasema Mbela.

Hata hivyo, pamoja na changamoto hizo za maisha, Mbela hajakata tamaa, bali anaendelea na maisha yake kama walivyo watu wengine katika eneo analoishi.

Zacharia ambaye ni rafiki mkubwa wa Mbela anasema kuwa tangu apoteze mikono yake, Mbela hakupenda tena kuendelea kuishi katika kijiji hicho, bali alilazimika kuondoka na hadi Songea mjini ambapo alifikia kwa ndugu zake eneo la Luhila na kukaa nao kwa muda, hadi walipomfukuza kutokana na tabia yake ya kubeba mizigo kwa kutumia midomo waliyodai inawakera .

“Kwa sasa anaishi peke yake katika nyumba chakavu ya Shirika la Umeme Tanzania, (Tanesco), iliyopo Songea, huku akijilimia shamba lake kwa kutumia mguu, ambapo hatumii jembe, badala yake hutifua ardhi na kupanda mazao mbalimbali kwa kutumia mdomo. Pia anapalilia mazao yake yakiwamo maharage, mahindi, magimbi pamoja na ndizi kwa kutumia mdomo,” anaeleza Zacharia.

“Maisha yangu yamebadilika sana , nimetengana na familia yangu, ingawa huwa wanakuja kuniona mara moja moja, hata mke wangu, lakini najihisi upweke sana,” anasema akifafanua:
“Nafanya kazi zangu mwenyewe na nalima mazao mbalimbali ya chakula, napata chakula changu na kingine nahifadhi kwa ajili ya familia yangu. Napata gunia tatu badala ya nane kutokana na watu kuniibia mahindi yangu yakiwa mabichi hata yakikauka. Inaniumiza, ila sina jinsi.”

Mbela anataja changamoto mbalimbali anazokutana nazo kuwa ni kuibiwa mazao yake na baadhi ya vijana aliodai ni majirani zake wasio waaminifu, hali ambayo imemsababishia kukorofisha nao na yeye kuwekwa ndani zaidi ya mara mbili .

Anasema, amekuwa akipambana na wezi wake kutumia miguu kwa kuwapiga na kuwakanyaga na akitoa onyo kwa watu wenye tabia ya kumwibia mazao yake kuacha vitendo hivyo.

Polisi huyo mstaafu ameiomba Serikali kumsaidia kwa kumpatia mbolea ya ruzuku walau mfuko mmoja, ili aweze kuzalisha mazao kwa wingi zaidi, pamoja na watu walio na mapenzi mema ku msaidia ili aweze kuendesha maisha yake na familia yake.

Jirani alonga
Onesmo Komba ambaye ni jirani wa Mbela anasema kuwa anavutiwa na shughuli zinazofanywa na mlemavu huyo, kwa kuwa anawashinda hata watu wasio na ulemavu.

“Pamoja na ulemavu alionao, haoni shida kujishugulisha na kazi mbalimbali ili aweze kupata riziki, tofauti na watu wazima, ambao baadhi wamekuwa wakikaa vijiweni bila kujishugulisha na kusubiri kuombaomba, huku wengine wakilalamika maisha ni magumu,” anasema Komba.

Anaeleza kuwa mbali na kulima, Mbela pia anabeba mizigo mizito kwa kutumia mdomo wake na mara nyingine anabeba kutumia mikono yake iliyokatwa jambo ambalo mtu mwingine hawezi kufanya.

“Kwa kweli anajitahidi sana kutumia miguu yake kupika na kulima mazao mbalimbali. Anasafisha maeneo yake kwa kutumia mdomo, cha kufurahisha zaidi, halalamiki kama watu wengine hata wale walio na viungo kamili. Kwake najifunza mengi, naomba watu wasimchokoze kwani ni mkali mno,” alisema Komba.

AFRICAN MIGRANTS COULD SAVE US$4 BILLION ANNUALLY ON REMITTANCE FEES, FINDS WORLD BANK

2013-02-08T16:02:00.002+03:00

By; Word Bank

Africa's overseas workers, who sent close to US$ 60 billion in remittances in 2012, pay more to send money home than any other migrant group. According to the World Bank's Send Money Africa database, Sub-Saharan Africa is the most expensive region to send money to, with average remittance costs reaching 12.4 percent in 2012. The average cost of sending money to Africa is almost 12 percent- higher than global average of 8.96 percent, and almost double the cost of sending money to South Asia, which has the world's lowest prices (6.54 percent).

The G8 and the G20 established 5 percent as the target average remittance price to reach by 2014. “High transaction costs are cutting into remittances, which are a lifeline for millions of Africans,” said Gaiv Tata, Director of the World Bank's Africa Region and Financial Inclusion and Infrastructure Global Practice.

“Remittances play a critical role in helping households address immediate needs and also invest in the future, so bringing down remittance prices will have a significant impact on poverty.” Lower cost remittances also advance financial inclusion, since they are often the first financial service used by recipients, who are then more likely to use other financial services including bank accounts.

Remittance prices are even higher between African nations. South Africa, Tanzania, and Ghana are the most expensive sending countries in Africa, with prices averaging 20.7 percent, 19.7 percent, and 19.0 percent respectively, due to several factors including limited competition in the market for cross-border payments.

“Governments should implement policies to open the remittances market up to competition,” said Massimo Cirasino, Manager of the Financial Infrastructure and Remittances Service Line at the World Bank. “Increased competition, as well as better informed consumers, can help bring down remittance prices”. Send Money Africa also finds that banks, which are the most expensive remittance service providers, are often the only channel available to African migrants.

A regulatory environment that encourages competition among remittance service providers can help bring down remittance prices. Migrant workers can also benefit from more transparent information on remittance services.

Mkasa mwingine wa Kusikitisha St. John University

2013-01-22T15:43:00.001+03:00

Mwanafunzi wa uuguzi katika chuo Kikuu cha St. John kilichopo mkoani Dodoma na ambaye alikuwa muuguzi katika hospitali ya Kilimatinde, Manyoni, Singida amefariki dunia baada ya kubakwa na kisha kuuawa na watu wasiojulikana.

Mwili wa marehemu huyo aliyetambuliwa kwa majina Lyidia Mzima mwenye umri wa miaka 57, ulikutwa umetupwa kichakani na tayari ulishaliwa na fisi.

Inataarifiwa kwua marehemu alipatwa na masaibu hayo alipokuwa ametoka kujisomea, akiwa anarudi anakoishi katika nyumba ya kupanga, Kibaoni-Image B, katika kata ya Kikuyu Kusini, iliyopo karibu na chuo hicho.

Kamanda wa Polisi mkoa wa Dodoma, David Misime amethibitisha kutokea kwa tukio hilo juzi usiku na kwamba marehemu alionekana kunyofolewa nyama za mapajani.

Kiongozi wa wanafunzi wa chuo hicho aliongeza kuwa aliuona mwili wa marehemu ukiwa umechunika ngozi kuanzia utosini hadi sehemu ya kisogoni.

Mwili wa marehemu uligunduliwa na wananchi ambao walisema kwa siku mbili ilikuwa ikisikika milio ya sauti za fisi kutoka katika eneo ambapo mwili wa marehemu ulikutwa.

Mwili wa marehemu umehifadhiwa katika hospitali ya rufaa Dodoma ukisubiri kufanyiwa uchunguzi.

Makamu Mkuu wa Chuo hicho, Profesa Gabriel Mwaluko alithibitisha tukio hilo na kusema hayo yote yanatokana na chuo kukosa mabweni ya wanafunzi kulala jambo ambalo linafanya wanafunzi wengi kwenda kupanga mitaani na kukumbwa na matukio mbalimbali.

Mei mwaka jana, wanafunzi wa chuo hicho waligoma kuingia madarasani hadi wawasilishe malalamiko yao kwa Kamanda wa Polisi wa Mkoa, kutokana na kukithiri kwa vitendo vya kupigwa nondo, kuibiwa vitu kulawitiwa na hata kubakwa. Walisema sababu nyingine inayochochea matukio hayo ni chuo kukosa uzio na hivyo kurahisisha mwingiliano wa watu na wanachuo.

Hivi karibuni wanachuo wa Chuo cha Usimamizi wa Fedha (IFM), Dar es Salaam waliandamana wakipinga kukithiri kwa vitendo vya wizi, ubakaji na ulawiti katika hosteli zao zilizoko Kigamboni.

60 wafariki na 200 wajeruhiwa mkesha wa 2013 huko Ivory Coast

2013-01-01T18:40:00.002+03:00

Zaidi ya watu sitini wamefariki na wengine mia mbili kujeruhiwa katika pwani ya Ivory coast katika sherehe za kuukaribisha mwaka mpya.

Baadhi ya nguo zilizobaki baada ya mkasa huo

Kisa hicho kilitokea kufuatia msongamano wa watu wakati wa sherehe hizo, za kuukaribishwa mwaka mpya wa 2013.

Vyombo vya habari vya taifa hilo vinasema tukio hilo lilitokea mapema alfajiri katika jiji kuu la Abijdan.

Inasemekana kuwa watu hao walikuwa wakishuhudia maonyesho ya fataki katika uwanja wa michezo.

Wengi waliofariki ni watoto kati ya miaka minane hadi kumi na mitano.

Hata hivyo haijulikani kilichosababisha msongamano huo.

Ajali hiyo ilitokea katia uwanja wa michezo wa Felix Houphouet Boign, ambao una ukumbwa wa kuruhusu mashabiuki elfu sitini na tano wa soka na ulipewa jina hilo kama heshima ya rais wa kwanza wa nchi hiyo.

Kabla ya ajali hiyo uwanja huo uliandaa maonyesho ya muziki iliyohudhuriwa na mwana muziki kutoka Marekani Chris Brown.
