CHADEMA WAZIDI KUWAKOMALIA USALAMA WA TAIFA

 Katibu Mkuu wa Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema), Dk Willibrod Slaa ameanza kuisakama Idara ya Usalama wa Taifa kuwa wanatumia mbinu mbalimbali kuwahujumu na kwamba mbinu zinazofanywa na idara hiyo ni kueneza propaganda walizodai za uongo dhidi yao.

Akizungumza jana makao makuu cha chama hicho jijini Dar es Salaam, Dk Slaa alisema: “Tumezibaini mbinu zinazofanywa na Usalama wa Taifa kwa kutumiwa na CCM kueneza propaganda za uongo dhidi yao kwa lengo la kukichafua chama, lakini haziwezi kufanikiwa kwani tayari tumegundua mbinu zao.”

“Chadema ni chama makini na hakiwezi kuyumbishwa na mtu yoyote wala idara yoyote inayotumiwa na baadhi ya watu ili kutaka kukizohofisha,” alisema Dk Slaa ambaye mara kwa mara amekuwa akilalamika kuchezewa rafu.

Hata hivyo, viongozi wanaohusika na idara hiyo akiwamo Waziri wa Nchi, Ofisi ya Rais (Utawala Bora), George Mkuchika walipotafutwa na gazeti hili kwa nyakati tofauti ili kuzungumzia tuhuma hizo za Dk Slaa, hawakuwa tayari kuzizungumzia.

Waziri Mkuchika alisema asingeweza kuzungumzia tuhuma hizi kwa kuwa hakuwa amezisikia wala hafahamu ni ujumbe upi uliomo katika kauli ya Dk Slaa.

“Mimi nimeshinda kwenye Kamati ya Bunge ya Katiba, Sheria na Utawala tangu asubuhi na sasa ndiyo natoka, kwa hiyo sijasikia hiyo kauli wala huo mkutano wa (Dk Slaa). Kwa hiyo siwezi kujibu chochote kwa sasa,” alisema Mkuchika na kuongeza:

“Nadhani tumeelewana na pengine tusubiri pindi nitakapofahamu ni kipi amekizungumza na nikafanyia uchunguzi tutaona kama kuna cha kujibu basi tutajibu wakati huo, lakini kwa sasa siwezi kusema chochote.”

Mapema gazeti hili lilimtafuta Mkurugenzi wa Usalama wa Taifa, Rashid Othman ili kuzungumzia madai hayo ya Chadema lakini mara zote simu yake ilikuwa haipatikani.

Baadaye Mwananchi iliwasiliana na Naibu Mkurugenzi wa Usalama wa Taifa, Jacky Nzoka ambaye alijibu kwa kifupi na kukata simu: “Mimi siyo msemaji tafadhali.”

Hata hivyo, katika tuhuma hizo Dk Slaa alisema mifano hai ipo kwake kwani kila wakati amekuwa akizungukwa na watu wa idara hiyo kwa malengo yao binafsi, lakini malengo yao hayawezi kufanikiwa kwani wao wapo makini katika hilo.

“Mimi kila wakati Usalama wa Taifa wamekuwa wakinizunguka zunguka kwa mambo yao binafsi wanayoyafuatilia kwangu, lakini nataka niwaambie kwamba nimewagundua na mbinu zao haziwezi kufanikiwa ila nawataka wasichoke kunifutalia na waendelee tu,” alisema.

Chadema na Sh400 milioni
Dk Slaa alikiwakilisha Chadema kusaini mkataba wa ushirikiano na Chama cha Konservative cha Denmark ili kuinua uwezo wa vijana na wanawake kisiasa.

Chama hicho kimeahidiwa kupewa Sh400 milioni kwa ajili ya kutoa mafunzo ya kujiimarisha kisiasa kwa Baraza la Vijana la chama hicho (Bavicha) na lile la Wanawake (Bawacha).

“Sisi leo tunasaini mkataba huu, lakini hatuufanyi siri kama vyama vingine vinavyofanya kwani mkataba huu upo wazi na kwamba kila mtu atakayetaka kuona atapewa,” alisema.

Alisema mafunzo hayo yatatolewa kwa watu 900 wa Bavicha na 900 wengine kutoka Bawacha na yanatarajia kuanza siku chache zijazo hadi Desemba mwaka huu yakiwa na lengo la kuwajengea uwezo wa kisiasa vijana wa Chadema na wanawake ili kuhakikisha wanaimarika kisiasa Tanzania,” alisema Dk Slaa.

Akizunguza wakati wa kusaini mkataba huo, Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Kimataifa ya Chama cha Conservative, Rolf Aagaard-Svendsen alisema lengo la ushirikino wao ni kuwajengea uwezo wa kisiasa vijana ili washiriki vizuri katika medani za kisiasa.

WANANCHI WA KIBAHA WALIGOMEA GARI LA HALMASHAURI LISIMWAGE TAKA

Wakazi wa Kibaha kwa Mfipa wakilisimamia gari lisimwage taka.

Wakazi wa Kibaha kwa Mfipa waliligomea gari la Halmashauri ya Mji Kibaha lenye nambari za usajili SM 3231 lisimwage taka katika eneo lao kutokana na kuwa taka hizo zinamwagwa juu ya calvat na zinasababisha kuzibisha calvat hilo na kufanya maji yajae kwenye makazi ya watu.

Gari la H/Mji lililozuiliwa kumwaga taka na wakazi wa Kibaha kwa Mfipa.

 Wakazi hao wamefikia hatua hiyo baada ya gari hilo kushindwa kwenda machimbo eneo ndiko yanakomwaga taka hizo baada ya barabara ya kwenda huko kujazwa vifusi na kusababisha magari yasiweze kupita.

Calvat la maji ya mvua

 Uchunguzi wa blogu hii umebaini kuwa maji katika calvat yanasafiri kwa taabu sana baada ya taka ngumu kujaa katika mkondo wa maji.

WACHIMBA MADINI NA WAVUVI HARAMU WASABABISHA MAPIGANO MOROGORO

Mkuu wa kituo cha polisi cha kati Morogoro ,Mkuu wa Upelelezi Wilaya na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa MORUWASA wakiwa eneo la tukio bwawani Mindu

 Katika hali isiyokuwa ya kawaida wavuvi na wachimba madini haramu katika bwawa la Mindu walizua tafrani jana jioni baada ya wachimba madini watatu Andrea Michael, Juma Hassani na Yusuph Abdallah kukamatwa na Maaskari wa kampuni ya Mputa Security wanaolinda bwawa hilo.

Wachimba madini haramu waliokamatwa Mindu kutoka kulia Yusuph Abdallah,Juma Hassan na Andrea Michael

 Askari mmoja alipigwa na wavuvi baada ya kwenda kuwaondoa katika eneo lisiloruhusiwa kuvuliwa samaki, katika kujitetea wavuvi hao waliwapigia simu wenzao ambao walikuja na mapikipiki yapatayo 6 na kila pikipiki ikipakiza watu watatu watatu.

 Mkurugenzi mtendaji wa MORUWASA ilimbidi aende polisi kuchukua maaskari ili kuweza kuimarisha usalama katika bwawa hilo na wakati maaskari wanafika eneo la tukio wavamizi hao walikuwa wameshakimbia lakini walifanikiwa kupata mchimba madini mmoja aitwaye Juma Hassani na kwendanaye kituoni.

Awali Mkurugenzi mtendaji wa MORUWASA Ndg.John K.Mtaita akiongelea swala la kuzima mitambo ya maji na kusababisha mji karibu mzima kukosa maji alisema wamefikia hatua hiyo baada ya maji yaliyokuwa yakiingia kituo cha kutibia maji kuwa machafu sana na yananuka kutokana na mvua kuingiza maji machafu bwawani Mindu.

Mkurugenzi mtendaji wa MORUWASA akiongea na Chief Kingalu katika eneo la Mindu.

Waandishi wa habari wakiwahoji wachimba madini haramu waliokamatwa bwawani Mindu.

MVUA ZASABABISHA MITAMBO YA KUSAFISHA NA KUTIBIA MAJI KUZIMWA MOROGORO

Maji yakiwa yanamwagwa eneo la kutibia maji Mafiga.

 Mvua zinazoendelea kunyesha zimesababisha wataalam katika kituo cha kutibu na kusafisha maji Mfiga iliyochini ya Mamlaka ya majisafi na usafi wa mazingira Morogoro (MORUWASA) kuzima mitambo na kumwaga maji yaliyokuwa yanaingia mitamboni hapo kutoka katika bwawa la Mindu kutokana na maji hayo kuwa machafu sana kwa kujaa tope.

Sampuli ya maji yaliyokuwa yanatoka bwawa la Mindu na kuja sehemu ya kutibia maji Mafiga.

 Hali hii ilizidi zaidi kutokana na mvua iliyonyesha jana jioni hadi usiku iliyoingiza tope jingi sana kwenye mdomo wa bomba la kuchukulia maji katika bwawa la Mindu.Hata hivyo wataalamu hao wamesema watawasha mitambo tu mara hali ya maji itakaporejea katika hali yake ya kawaida.
Kuzimwa kwa mitambo hiyo kumeathiri wakazi wa Maorogoro wanaotegemea chanzo cha Mindu kukosa maji ambao ni zaidi ya 70%.

Bi.Getrude Salema Afisa Uhusiano wa MORUWASA.

 Akiongea na Blogu hii Afisa Uhusiano wa MORUWASA Bi. Getrude Salema amesema hali hii ni changamoto kwa MORUWASA. Hata hivyo amewasihi wakazi wa Morogoro kuwa wawe wavumilivu na kuwa maji yatakayowafikia yatakuwa salama pale tu watakapokuwa wamewasha hiyo mitambo na kuruhusu maji yaanze kuingia na kutibiwa.

Mkondo wa maji ya mvua unaongiza tope bwawa la Mindu.

Blogu hii imefanya ziara hadi Mitambo ya kutibia maji Mafiga, Bwawa la Mindu na Sehemu ambako maji ya mvua yanavuka barabara ya Iringa na kuingia bwawa la Mindu.Kilichoonekana ni uchimbaji wa madini karibu na bwawa,mifugo kutifua ardhi pamoja na kilimo ndo sababu zilizochangia tope kuwa jingi.

Maji ya mvua yakiwa yametuama kando kando ya barabara ya Iringa eneo la Mindu

Hata hivyo,kando kando ya barabara ya Iringa kumeonekana madimbwi mengi ya maji yakiwa yametuama kutokana na makaravati yanayopitisha maji ya mvua kuziba kiasi cha kusababisha maji kukaa kwa muda mrefu na mvua zinaponyesha zinasomba hayo maji hadi bwawa la Mindu.

Wafanyakazi wa MORUWASA wakiwa wameenda kujionea halihalisi ya mikondo inayoingiza maji ya  mvua bwawani.

SAMAKI WA MAJITAKA WAHISIWA KUUZWA KWA WATU MJINI MOROGORO

Katika hali ya kushangaza na kusikitisha, nikwamba vijana wenyeji wa Manispaa ya Morogoro wamekutwa wakikusanya samaki aina ya kambale katika mabwawa ya majitaka yanayotolewa tope ya Mafisa.

 Walipoulizwa wakasema wanaenda kula lakini uwalakini unakuja pale walipoonekana kukazana kukusanya samaki wengi na kwenda kuwasafisha.

 Wito wangu kwa wakazi wa Morogoro kuweni makini na samaki wanaouziwa na watu mitaani na kwa wale wenye mabucha kuweni waaminifu kwa kutonunua samaki watakao letwa kwao na vijana wa mtaani.
Na maafisa afya kuweni makini kwa kukagua samaki wanaouzwa kwenye mabucha na mitaani.

WAZIRI MKUU PINDA AONGOZA HARAMBEE MAGOMENI

WAZIRI MKUU Ndg.Mizengo Pinda ameongoza harambee ya papo kwa papo na kufanikiwa kukusanya sh. milioni 31.5 zikiwa ni ahadi na fedha taslimu kwa ajili ya ukarabati wa Kanisa Katoliki la Mashahidi wa Uganda la Magomeni, jijini Dar es Salaam.

Akizungumza na waumini wa Kanisa hilo Jumapili asubuhi, Machi 17, 2013 kabla ya kuendesha harambee hiyo, Waziri Mkuu aliusifu uongozi wa Kanisa Katoliki la Magomeni kwa kuamua kufanya upanuzi wa kanisa hilo ili liweze kuhudumia waumini wengi zaidi.

“Nia yao ni nzuri sana na wameona mbali mapema. Magomeni hii ya leo si ya wakati ule, na wala haitakuwa hivi katika miaka mingine 50 ijayo. Zamani usingeweza kuona hata ghorofa moja hapa Magomeni lakini sasa hivi maghorofa hayahesabiki,” alisema.

Aliwasisitiza waumini hao kujitoa kwa ajili ya kazi ya Bwana kwa sababu hakuna sadaka ambayo ni ndogo. “Hakuna sadaka iliyo ndogo mbele ya Mungu, kikubwa ni dhamira tu. Kanisa ni letu na litajengwa na sisi waumini ili mradi kila mmoja wetu aseme Kansa hili nitalijenga,” alisisitiza.

Mapema akimkaribisha Waziri Mkuu kuzungumza na waumini hao, Baba Paroko wa kanisa hilo, Padri Sixfrious Rwechungura alisema wameanza kazi ya ukarabati tangu Agosti 15, 2011 na kwamba hadi sasa wamekwishakusanya sh. milioni 350 iliyotokana na nguvu za waumini wenyewe bila msaada wa kutoka nje.

Alisema wanahitaji kiasi cha sh. milioni 300 ili kukamilisha kazi hiyo ambayo inapaswa kukamilika katika miaka miwili ijayo ili iendane na maadhimisho ya miaka 50 ya kanisa hilo.

Katika harambee hiyo, Waziri Mkuu na mkewe Mama Tunu Pinda waliahidi kuchangia sh. Milioni 10 na kutoa sh. Milioni mbili za kianzio. Pia aliendesha mnada wa mbuzi aliyenunuliwa kwa sh. 600,000/- na mkoba ulionunuliwa kwa sh. 150,000/-.
