WABUNGE 4 WATIMULIWA UGANDA

Kiongozi wa chama tawala nchini Uganda Yoweri Museveni

Chama tawala nchini Uganda cha National Resisitance Movement-NRM- kimewafukuza baadhi ya wanachama wake wanne, wote wakiwa ni wabunge, kwa kile kilichoitwa utovu wa nidhamu.

Mbunge mwingine yeye amesimamishwa kwa muda wa miezi mitatu kwa sababu za ulevi.Katibu mkuu wa chama hicho Amama Mbabazi anasema hii kwa tafsiri yake inamaanisha kuwa wabunge hao wamepoteza viti vyao, jambo ambalo wahusika wanapinga.

Katibu mkuu wa chama tawala cha NRM na wakati huo waziri Mkuu wa Uganda,Amama Mbabazi, ametangaza maamuuzi ya kamati kuu ya chama hicho kuhusu majaliwa ya wabunge wanne waliopewa jina la ‘wabunge waasi’ kutokana na misimamo yao dhidi ya masuala mbalimbali katika chama hicho.
Mbabazi alitoa kauli hiyo na kusema, ''Muhammad Nsereko afukuzwe kutoka NRM;kuwa Theodor Sekikubo afukuzwe kutoka NRM;kuwa Barnabas Tinkasimire afukuzwe kutoka NRM;kuwa Wilfred Nuwagaba wamefukuzwe kutoka NRM; na kuwa Vicent Kyamadidi Muzuni asimamishwe uana chama wa NRM kwa muda wa miezi mitatu.''
Wabunge wanne waliofukuzwa kutoka chama:Nsereko;Sekikubo;Tinkasimire pamoja na Niwagaba wamekuwa wakipinga na kukosoa saana uongozi wa sasa wa chama hususan kutokana na madai ya ufisadi dhidi ya vigogo wa chama.

Na wanasema hatua hii ni ya kuwaandama kisiasa kwa kusema ukweli dhidi ya wanachoita uongozi mbaya. Hatua ya kuwafukuza wanachama hao , inasekena ni kutokana na utovu wa nidhamu.

Wabunge hao walishtakiwa katika kamati ya nidhamu ya chama na kukabiliwa mashataka saba: kuwapigia debe wagombea wa vyama vya upinzani katika uchaguzi mdogo; kupaka matope wagombea rasmi wa chama cha NRM wakati wa uchaguzi mdogo; kutoa madai ya uongo kwa vombo vya habari dhidi ya chama cha NRM; kutumia majukwaa haramu, kama vile vyombo vya habari na mikutano ya hadhara ya vyama vya upinzani kuzungumzia masuala yanayowakera;kujihusisha katika uundaji wa genge ndani mwa NRM; matumizi ya lugha chafu;na mwisho kukaidi kamati ya nidhamu ya chama.Wote licha ya kuwaita kufika mbele ya kamati hiyo kujieleza walipinga.
Hii ndiyo mara ya kwanza tangu mfumo wa vyama vingi kuanza tena mwaka wa 2006, chama cha NRM kufukuza wanachama wake.
Na hii imezusha tafsiri tofauti kwa wabunge wanaofukuzwa chama.Katibu mkuu wa NRM anasema kuwa hii inamaanisha kuwa wamepoteza viti vyao vya ubunge.
Mbabazi aliongeza kusema kuwa ''Kulingana na sheria za Uganda, hususan kifungu 83 cha katiba ya taifa ni kuwa mtu anaweza kuwa mbunge pindi tu ikiwa amechaguliwa kama mbunge wa kujitegemea,au ikiwa amechaguliwa baada ya kuungwa mkono na chama Fulani,au ni waziri,au kama mwanajeshi.''
Hakuna njia nyingje ile. Wabunge hao wanasema kuwa katiba haikubali mbunge yeyote kubadili chama bungeni.Ikiwa mtu atapoteza uungwaji mkono wa chama chake hii ina maana kuwa amepoteza kiti chake.
Lakini hilo limepingwa na mbunge muathiriwa na tena wakili, Wilfred Niwagaba.

Niwagaba alisema ''Ikiwa anadhani kwa kutusimamisha au kutufukuza uanachama ina maana kuwa tunapoteza viti vyetu,nasikitika sikubaliani na tafsiri hiyo.Hakuna hata mmoja wetu ameondoka kutoka chama kwa hiari.''

Hata hivyo mwenzao Vincent Kyamadidi amesimamishwa uanachama kwa muda kutokana na madai kuwa alilewa na kujaribu kupigana hadharani jambo ambalo linakwenda kinyume na maadili ya chama.
Aidha yeye alipoita kujieleza alifika mbele ya kamati hiyo.
Bado kuna vuta ni kuvute kuhusu majaliwa ya wabunge wanne, ikisemekana wamekwenda mahakani kupinga kufukuzwa kwao.

WATU 16 WAFA BAADA YA KUFUKIWA NA KIFUSI NCHINI GHANA

Rais wa Ghana

 Takriban watu 16 wamefariki baada ya kuangukiwa na mgodi ambao ulikuwa hautumiki nchini Ghana.

Maafisa wanasema kuwa kulikua na maporomoko ya ardhi katika sehemu ambayo ilikua haitumiki karibu na mji wa Kyekyewere ambao una sifa ya kuwa na wachimbaji haramu wa migodi.




Waokoaji waliondoa miili 16 baada ya mgodi huo kuporomoka siku ya Jumatatu , kwa mujibu wa maafisa wakuu.

Haijulikani idadi ya watu waliokuwemo ndani ya mgodi huo , lakini inaarifiwa kuwa hukana dalili kuonyesha kuwa bado kuna miili mingine ndani ya mgodi huo.
Ghana ni moja ya nchi kubwa zenye kuzalisha dhahabu hasa baada ya kujulikana kama pwani ya dhahabu.
Afisaa mmoja aliambia shirika la habari la Reuters kuwa mchimbaji mmoja aliyekuwa amejeruhiwa alifariki baadaye hospitalini. Hii inaongeza idadi ya waliofariki hadi 17.
Uchimbaji haramu ni swala linalotela wasiwasi mkubwa nchini Ghana hasa katika maeneo ambako wachimbaji hutumia vifaa vya kisasa kwa shughuli zao.
"ni mgodi ambao ulikuwa hautumiki rasmi ingawa hutumiwa sana na wachimbaji haramu,'' alisema afisaa huyo Owusu-Ashia.
Aliongeza kuwa licha ya uhamasisho mkubwa wa watu kutochimba kiharamu, shughuli hizo bado huendelea kufanywa.
Zaidi ya rais 120 wa China walikamatwa kama sehemu ya harakati za kukomesha uchimbaji haramu.

SERIKALI YAMTEUA MOHAMED DEWJI KUIONGOZA KAMATI YA USHINDI YA TAIFA STARS.

Mohamed Dewji.

 Katika kuhakikisha kuwa Taifa stars inafuzu na kushiri fainali za kombe la Dunia huko Brazil, Wizara ya Habari,Vijana,Utamaduni na Michezo imeteua kamati ya Ushindi kama ifuatavyo:-

"Kama mnavyofahamu, hivi sasa Timu ya Taifa ya mpira wa Miguu kwa Wanaume (Taifa Stars) ipo kwenye michuano ya kufuzu kushiriki Fainali za Kombe la Dunia zitakazofanyika nchini Brazil mwaka 2014.

Katika Afrika, Tanzania (Taifa Stars) imepangwa kundi C kati ya makundi 10. Kundi C linajumuisha timu za Ivory Coast, Morocco, Gambia na Tanzania.

Kwa sasa katika kundi C, Taifa Stars inashika nafasi ya pili ikiwa na alama sita (6), nyuma ya Ivory Coast yenye alama saba (7), Morocco ina alama mbili (2) na Gambia ina alama moja(1).

Kwa mara nyingine Wizara ya Habari, Vijana, Utamaduni na Michezo inapenda kuwapongeza Taifa Stars, kwa kazi nzuri ambayo wameishaifanya ikiwemo ushindi wa Bao Tatu kwa Moja dhidi yaMorocco. Watanzania wote na Wadau wa Soka nchini wamefurahishwasanana mafanikio yaliyofikiwa na Taifa Stars na yenye kutupa matumaini  katika kuitayarisha Taifa Stars kufuzu kucheza Fainali za Kombe la Dunia  kwa mwaka 2014 nchiniBrazil.

Kwa hali ilivyo hivi sasa, Taifa Stars ipo katika nafasi nzuri ya kufuzu. Ili Tanzania tuweze kufuzu, Taifa Stars inatakiwa ishinde mechi zote tatu (3) na kuongoza kundi C na baadae iingie katika Timu kumi (10) bora na kisha zipatikane Timu tano (5) kutoka Afrika ambazo zitakuwa zimefuzu kwenda Brazil katika Fainali za Kombe la Dunia kwa mwaka 2014.  Tunaamini hili linawezekana.

Sasa kwa kuzingatia uzito wa jukumu lililo mbele yetu na kwa Taifa Stars kwa ujumla; Serikali imeunda Kamati ya Ushindi ya Taifa Stars.

Jukumu la msingi la Kamati tunayoiunda ni kuhakikisha Taifa Stars inawezeshwa na kuandaliwa ipasavyo ikiwa ni pamoja na kuunda kikundi cha kuishangilia timu ya Taifa ndani na nje ya nchi. Wajumbe wa Kamati ya Taifa Stars Stars itakayoongozwa na Mhe. Mohamed Dewji ni hawa wafuatao:-

 1. Mhe Mohamed Dewji           -       Mbunge

2. Bi. Teddy Mapunda             -       Montage

3. Dkt. Ramadhani Dau           -       Mkurugenzi Mtendaji NSSF

4. Bw. Dioniz Malinzi               -       Mwenyekiti BMT

5. Bw. Abji Shabir                  -       New Africa Hotel

6. Bw. George Kavishe            -       TBL

7. Mhe. Mohamed Raza           -       Zanzibar

8. Rais wa Shirikisho la Mpira wa Miguu Tanzania (TFF)

9. Bw. Joseph Kusaga             -       Clouds

10. Mhe. Kapt. John Komba    -       Mbunge

11. Mhe. Zitto Kabwe             -       Mbunge

Kamati hii iliyoteuliwa leo, naomba ianze kazi mara moja.  Hadidu za rejea zitakazowaongoza kutekeleza majukumu yao chini ya Kamati hii watazipata kutoka Wizara ya Habari, Vijana, Utamaduni na Michezo. Kamati itashirikisha wadau mbalimbali kadri itakavyoona inafaa.

Serikali inaahidi kutoa ushirikiano utakaohitajika katika kuhakikisha Kamati hii inafanya kazi vizuri ili kuiwezesha Taifa Stars kushinda Mechi zote zilizombele yetu.

Aidha nichukue fursa hii kutoa wito kwa Watanzania wote, kuiunga mkono Taifa Stars na Kamati ya Ushindi ya Taifa Stars kwa hali namalikatika kuhakikisha timu yetu inafuzu kucheza Fainali za Kombe la Dunia.

Kwa niaba ya Rais  wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania na Waziri Mkuu naomba niwasilishe salaam zao za kuwapongeza Vijana wetu wa Taifa Stars, pamoja na benchi la ufundi likiongozwa na Kocha Mkuu Kim Poulsen. Kwa pamoja wanaomba Taifa Stars iendelee kujipanga kwa mechi zijazo.  Nawahakikishia kuwa Serikali, Watanzania na wadau wa Soka nchini wapo nyuma yao.

Mungu Ibariki Taifa Stars.

Mungu Ibariki Tanzania.
