HERI YA MWAKA MPYA 2013.

MWENYEZI MUNGU MWENYE KUWEZA KILA JAMBO,AMEWEZA KUKUONGOZA VIZURI MPAKA SASA UNAPUMUA. Una kila sababu ya kumshukuru kwa kila jambo.Niwengi waliuanza huu mwaka wa 2012 lakini katikati safari zao zikakatishwa na uhai wao kuweza kuchukuliwa.

Jiulize kwa mwaka 2012 umefanya nini la kumtukuza mwenyezi mungu,umefanya nini la kuisaidia jamii.Ukishafanya tathimini hiyo jipe jibu na kuweza kujikosoa.

Wengi tunalalamika kuwa hatuna kitu,lakini kusaidia ni moyo sio utajiri.Mtu mwingine unaweza kumsaidia mawazo na akaweza kukwamuka kimaisha.

Nawaomba tupendane wote madamu tunaishi,sote ni ndugu.

DAR ES SALAAM YATOLEWA KAFARA KWENYE DIJITALI.

Waziri wa Mawasiliano,Sayansi na Teknolojia Prof.Makame Mbarawa.

MKOA wa Dar es Salaam saa 6 kamili usiku wa leo unakuwa wa kwanza kuzimiwa mitambo ya analojia ya utangazaji wa televisheni kwa ajili ya kupokea mfumo mpya wa digitali.

Ikumbukwe kuwa hatua hiyo ya kuhama kutoka analojia kwenda digitali ni utekelezaji wa makubaliano ya nchi wanachama wa Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki (EAC).

Waziri wa Mawasiliano, Sayansi na Teknolojia, Profesa Makame Mbarawa katika hotuba yake ya jana kuashiria uzimaji wa mitambo ya analojia, alisema uzimaji kwa zamu unalenga kuepusha usumbufu kwa wananchi wa Tanzania.

Mbarawa alisema kuwa mchakato huo wa uzimaji wa mitambo utafanyika kama ifuatavyo: Januari 31, 2013 Dodoma na Tanga. Mkoani Mwanza Februari 28, 2013 na Kilimanjaro (Moshi) na Arusha Machi 31, 2013.

Mkoa wa saba kuingia kwenye mfumo wa digitali utakuwa Mbeya ambao mitambo itazimwa Aprili 30, 2013. Utaratibu wa kuzima mitambo ya analojia utakuwa kwa maeneo yenye matangazo ya digitali na kwa yasiyo na miundombinu ya digitali hayatazimwa.

Taarifa ya Waziri inaonesha kwamba miundombinu ya mitambo ya digitali imeenea katika mikoa minane pekee. Mabadiliko hayo yanahusu matangazo kwa njia ya utangazaji wa satelaiti, waya (cable) na redio.

Aidha imeelezwa kwamba watoa huduma za miundombinu ya digitali wamejipanga kusimika mitambo hiyo katika mikoa mingine minane ndani ya miezi minane ijayo.

Lakini kwa upande wa pili wa shilingi,baadhi ya wananchi wanalalamikia ving'amuzi vingine vunakatakata sana mawasiliano,lakini naona ni changamoto.

UZURI NA MAAJABU YA BUKOBA

Bukoba ni sehemu mojawapo ambayo kila mmoja anapenda akaishi kutokana na uzuri wake.Kihistoria,Bukoba ni sehemu miongoni mwa sehemu barani Afrika ambayo ilitawaliwa na Utawala wa Machifu (WAKAMA).Miongoni mwa machifu hao ni Mukama Lukamba ambaye alikuwa "Chief" wa Kyamutwara makao makuu yake ni Kabale,kata ya Karabagaine.

Nyumbani kwa Mukama Lukamba.

Kwa Wakama  hawa kulikuwa na mahakama (GOMBOLOLA) ambazo zilikuwa zinatumika kuhukumu waarifu wote waliokuwa wanaletwa mahakamani hapo.

Chief Lwaijumba local court

Mahakama ya Mukama Lwaijumba ambapo waarifu walikuwa wanahukumiwa.

Hata hivyo baada ya hukumu hiyo wote waliokuwa wanaadhibiwa kwa kunyongwa sehemu inayoitwa Mlima wa Lyankumbi ulioko Itahwa walipokuwa wanaachiwa na kuporomokwa hadi bondeni.

Mlima Lyankumbi ampako waarifu walikuwa wanaanyongwa.

Pamoja ni hayo,Kabale kuna pango ambalo lilitumika kwa wananchi kujificha wakati wa vita ya Kagera.Pango hilo lina urefu usiopungua kilometa 3.Pango hili la maajabu lipo katika mlima Rwamrumba.
Picha zifuatazo ni picha zinazoonesha pango la maajabu.

Mnamo miaka ya 1977 hadi 1979 kulikuwa na vita ya Kagera,vita hivi vilifanyika hasa maeneo ya Mutukura,Bunazi na Kyaka.Miongozi mwa uharibifu uliofanyika wakati wa vita ni Kuunguzwa kwa kiwanda cha sukari cha Kagera,Kuunguzwa kwa makanisa pamoja na mashule.
Picha zifuatazo ni baadhi tu ya picha zinazoonesha uharibifu uliofanywa na Nduli Iddi Amini -DADA kwa kuunguza kanisa la Kyaka.

Kanisa la Kyaka lililoungua.

CHADEMA WAZIDI KUCHANJA MBUGA,GODBLESS LEMA ASHINDA RUFAA.

  Mbunge wa Arusha mjini Godbless lema ameshinda rufaa yake ya ubunge chini ya wakili wake Vitalisi Kimomogoro,rufaa hiyo iliyokuwa inasikilizwa mahakama kuu ya rufaa jijini Dar es salaam.

Ikumbukwe kuwa Mheshimiwa Lema alisimamishwa ubunge wake kupitia kesi iliyofunguliwa kwa madai kwamba wakati wa kampeni zake zilizoendeshwa wakati wa uchaguzi mkuu wa mwaka 2010 alitoa lugha isisiyotakiwa kwa mgombea wa CCM.

UHABA WA MAJI MOROGORO
Bomba kubwa lenye kipenyo cha 16" sawa na 400mm limepasuka eneo la Msamvu stendi ya Dodoma karibu na kituo cha kusambaza umeme.Ingawa juhudi za kurejesha huduma ya maji kwa wakazi wa manispaa ya Morogoro zikiwa zinaendelea lakini changamoto nikwamba bomba hilo limekatiza barabara kuu ya kuelekea Dodoma ambayo ni ya lami,hivyo namna ya kuchimba inakuwa vigumu.

Akiongea kutokea eneo la tukio,kaimu Mhandisi wa usambazaji na matengenezo Bw.William Mbilizi alisema kuwa matengenezo hayo yanaweza kukamilika ndani ya siku 2.

MATUMIZI SAHIHI YA RASILIMALI.

Katika harakati za kuhifadhi mazingira tunatakiwa kutumia kanuni ya 3R (Reduce,Reuse and Recycle).Hii imeonekana kutumika ipasavyo katika Manispaa ya Dodoma upande wa Mamlaka ya Majisafi na Usafi wa Mazingira (DUWASA).

Kuna gari ambalo lilinunuliwa mwaka 1954 lakini mpaka sasa linafanya kazi katika kituo cha kuzalisha maji cha Mzakwe ambacho ndo chanzo kikuu cha maji kwa mji wa Dodoma.
Nawapongeza sana Mamlaka ya majisafi na usafi wa Mazingira Dododma kwa kuweza kulitunza gari hili na kulifanya kumbukumbu.
Mamlaka zingine nchini ziige mfano wa Mamlaka ya majisafi Dododma ili kuweza kutunza rasilimali tulizonazo.

UZURI WA MBEGA UMEMPONZA,ANAWINDWA KWA UDI NA UVUMBA

MBEGA (COLOBUS MONKEY).

 Mbega ni kima wa nusufamilia Colobinae katika familia Cercopithecidae. Wanatokea Afrika na Asia. Spishi nyingi huishi mitini lakini spishi nyingine huishi savana zenye miti na hata mijini. Vidole gumba vya spishi za Afrika vimekuwa vigutu pengine ili kurahisisha kwenda katika miti. Mbega hula majani, maua na matunda, pengine wadudu na wanyama wadogo.

Bega wanapatikana hata katika safu za milima ya uluguru, lakini wanauwawa sana na wakazi wanaoishi karibu na safu za milima hii.
