ALICHOKISEMA ZITTO KABWE JUU YA WAHAMIAJI HARAMU KUTOKA KIGOMA.

 

Watanzania kutoka mkoa wa Kigoma waliokamatwa jana huko Tegeta wameachiwa baada ya kuingilia kati. Tumepata taarifa kuwa kuna wengine kutoka maeneo ya Kitunda pia walikamatwa jana. Tunaendelea kufuatilia. Tutaweka hapa jina la kila aliyekamatwa, kijiji anachotoka na alikamatwaje.
Tunaunga mkono juhudi zozote za kuzuia wahamiaji haramu. Hata hivyo lazima zoezi hili liendeshwe kwa umakini mkubwa sana. Nchi yetu inapakana na nchi 8. Ni dhahiri kama kila mtu anayetoka mkoa wa pembezoni ni 'suspect' wa uraia, tutagombana sana. Ni vema vitambulisho vya Taifa vitoke haraka kwa watu wa mipakani ili kuondoa hizi 'harassment'

MAONI YA MSEMAJI WA KAMBI RASMI YA UPINZANI BUNGENI, WIZARA YA SHERIA NA KATIBA, MHESHIMIWA TUNDU A.M. LISSU KUHUSU MUSWADA WA SHERIA YA MAREKEBISHO YA SHERIA YA MABADILIKO YA KATIBA, YA MWAKA 2013

(Kanuni ya 86(6) ya Kanuni za Kudumu za Bunge, 2013)

UTANGULIZI

Mheshimiwa Spika,

Huu ni Muswada wa marekebisho ya pili ya Sheria ya Mabadiliko ya Katiba, Sura ya 83 ya Sheria za Tanzania. Kama Bunge lako tukufu litakavyokumbuka, Sheria hii ilifanyiwa marekebisho ya kwanza kwa kupitishwa kwa Sheria ya Marekebisho ya Sheria ya Mabadiliko ya Katiba, Na. 2 ya mwaka 2012, mwezi Februari ya mwaka jana. Mabadiliko hayo ya kwanza yalihusu Sehemu ya Tatu na ya Nne ya Sheria hii, na yalilenga vifungu mbali mbali vinavyohusu Tume ya Mabadiliko ya Katiba na utekelezaji wa majukumu yake.

Muswada huu wa sasa unalenga kufanya marekebisho katika Sehemu ya Tano ya Sheria inayohusu ‘Kuitisha Bunge Maalum.’ Sambamba na mapendekezo haya, kuna mapendekezo ya kufanya marekebisho katika Sehemu ya Sita kwa kufuta vifungu vya 32 hadi 36 vya Sheria vinavyohusu utaratibu wa kura ya maoni kwa ajili ya kuhalalisha ‘Katiba Inayopendekezwa.’ Marekebisho haya yamewekwa katika aya ya 57 ya Muswada wa Sheria ya Kura ya Maoni, 2013. Mapendekezo ya Muswada huu ni muhimu lakini yana utata mkubwa.

Mheshimiwa Spika,

Katika kutekeleza majukumu yake ya kuuchambua Muswada huu, Kamati ya Bunge lako tukufu ya Katiba, Sheria na Utawala ilikutana na wadau wengi mbali mbali. Hivyo, kwa mfano, Kamati ilipata maoni ya taasisi za kidini na za kiraia; taasisi za elimu ya juu na za kitaaluma; vyama vya siasa na asasi nyingine. Kwa sababu ambazo Kamati haikuelezwa vizuri na uongozi wa Bunge hili tukufu, mapendekezo ya Kamati kwenda Zanzibar kwa lengo la kukusanya maoni ya wadau wa Zanzibar juu ya Muswada huu muhimu kwa mustakbala wa Jamhuri ya Muungano yalikataliwa.

Kwa maana hiyo, ni muhimu Bunge lako tukufu lifahamu ukweli huu kwamba wadau pekee walioshirikishwa kutoa maoni yao juu ya Muswada ni Watanzania Bara tu. Wazanzibari hawakupatiwa fursa hiyo na hawakushirikishwa kabisa, licha ya Sheria yenyewe kuwa na mambo mengi yanayoihusu Zanzibar. Kwa vile wadau wa Zanzibar walishirikishwa kikamilifu kutoa maoni yao kuhusu Muswada uliopelekea Sheria hii kutungwa mwaka 2011, Kambi Rasmi ya Upinzani Bungeni inataka kujua ni kwa nini uongozi wa Bunge na wa Serikali umeona si busara na sahihi kuwapatia Wazanzibari fursa ya kutoa maoni yao kuhusu Muswada huu wa kurekebisha Sheria ya Mabadiliko ya Katiba ambayo inawahusu pia Wazanzibari na nchi yao.

URAIS WA KIFALME KWA MARA NYINGINE TENA!!!!

Mheshimiwa Spika,

Kambi Rasmi ya Upinzani Bungeni imepigia kelele jitihada za serikali hii ya CCM kudhibiti mchakato wa Katiba Mpya kwa kuendeleza kile tulichokiita miaka miwili iliyopita, “... kivuli kirefu cha Urais wa Kifalme katika mchakato wa upatikanaji wa Katiba Mpya.”[i] Hapo tulikuwa tunazungumzia mamlaka ya Rais ya uteuzi wa Wajumbe na watendaji wa Tume ya Mabadiliko ya Katiba, na tulisema kwamba mamlaka hayo yalikuwa na lengo moja tu: “kuhakikisha kwamba matokeo ya kazi ya Tume hiyo ni yale tu yanayotakiwa na Rais na Serikali yake na chama chake cha CCM.”

Mheshimiwa Spika,

Katika Maoni yetu wakati wa kutungwa kwa Sheria hii mwezi Novemba mwaka 2011, Kambi Rasmi ya Upinzani ilipinga vikali mapendekezo ya kumwezesha Rais kuteua Wajumbe wa Bunge Maalum wasiotokana na Bunge lako tukufu na Baraza la Wawakilishi Zanzibar. Tulisema yafuatayo kuhusiana na jambo hili: “... wajumbe ... wanaopendekezwa kuteuliwa kwenye Bunge la Katiba kwa mujibu wa ibara ya 20(2)(e) na (4) ya Muswada Mpya sio, na hawawezi kuwa, wawakilishi wa wananchi. Kwanza, hawajachaguliwa na mtu yeyote na wala taasisi zao kuwawakilisha katika Bunge la Katiba kwa sababu Muswada Mpya unapendekeza wateuliwe na Rais.”

Kwa sababu ya upinzani huo, mapendekezo ya kumfanya Rais kuwa mteuzi wa wajumbe wa Bunge Maalum wasiokuwa wabunge na Wawakilishi yaliondolewa katika Muswada huo wa Sheria hii. Badala yake, kifungu cha 22(1)(c) cha Sheria iliyotungwa na Bunge lako tukufu kiliweka wazi kwamba “wajumbe mia moja sitini na sita [watateuliwa] kutoka ...” taasisi zilizotajwa katika kifungu hicho.

Mheshimiwa Spika,

Ni kweli kwamba kifungu cha 22(1)(c) kama kilivyotungwa kilileta giza badala ya mwanga katika suala la uteuzi wa wajumbe hao. Kama tulivyoieleza timu ya wataalamu wa Serikali kufuatia mkutano wetu na Rais Jakaya Kikwete uliofanyika Ikulu tarehe 26 Novemba, 2011: “Toleo la Kiswahili la Sheria linasema kwamba wawakilishi wa makundi mengine ‘watakaoteuliwa kutoka’ kwenye makundi yaliyoorodheshwa. Toleo la Kiingereza linasema wajumbe hao watakuwa ‘drawn from’ (kwa tafsiri ya Kiswahili ‘watachukuliwa kutoka’). Maana za maneno haya hazifanani na wala hayako wazi kuhusu nani ‘atakayewateua’ au ‘kuwachukua’ wajumbe hao kutoka kwenye taasisi zao.”[ii]

Kwingineko katika mkutano wetu na Rais Kikwete tulimweleza kwamba: “Wajumbe 166 wengine wanaowakilisha taasisi nje ya Wabunge na Wawakilishi hawajachaguliwa na mtu yeyote na wala na taasisi zao kwani Sheria haisemi ni nani atakayewateua na/au kuwachagua.” Kwa sababu hiyo, tulipendekeza kwamba “Sheria iweke wazi kwamba wajumbe hawa ‘watateuliwa na’ taasisi zilizotajwa. Hii itaondoa utata juu ya uwakilishi wao na juu ya mamlaka yao ya uteuzi.”[iii]
