A COMEDIAN who had a walk-on part in the Rutles film spoof of the Beatles is poised to deliver a 60-seat super-majority to the Democrats in the Senate as President Barack Obama consolidates his grip on the levers of power.
Al Franken, 57, a satirist turned Democrat politician, is expected to be proclaimed the winner of the protracted race for the US Senate in Minnesota, in time to give Obama a free hand to appoint a Supreme Court replacement for retiring Justice David Souter without fear of Republican blocking tactics.
If Franken wins, Obama will hold an unassailable majority after Senator Arlen Specter’s sudden defection from the Republicans to the Democrats last week. A 60-seat majority would deprive the Republicans of the ability to scupper appointments and legislation by filibustering...continue

The government's electronic eavesdropping centre has issued a rare response to accusations that it plans to install thousands of black boxes to monitor all internet and telephone use in Britain.
In a statement, GCHQ denied its £1bn plan – called Mastering the Internet (MTI) – was a "snooping project" and said the technology being developed at its complex in Cheltenham was solely to keep pace with developments in internet technology.
In an unusual move in response to a weekend report, the agency, which does not usually comment on media stories, said in a statement: "GCHQ is not developing technology to enable the monitoring of all internet use and phone calls in Britain, or to target everyone in the UK. Similarly, GCHQ has no ambitions, expectations or plans for a database or databases to store centrally all communications data in Britain."
It was suggested that the MTI project would give GCHQ the ability to "spy at will" on all internet traffic in Britain, including emails, website visits, social networking sessions, and telephone calls, 14% of which are made using internet protocol (Voip) systems such as Skype...CONTINUE

By Rodgers Luhwago, Dodoma
Speaker of the National Assembly Samuel Sitta has sturdily defended the proposal by legislators to increase their monthly package to 12m/- ($9,078), adding that the move has been wrongly judged by critics.
Tanzanian MPs, who currently make 7m/- ($5,292) per month - only 1.8m/- of which is their taxable basic salary - want to increase their base salary to 3m/- and additional allowances to 9m/-.
The proposed 12m/- ($9,078) package would put parliamentarians in the range of Kenya`s MPs, who earn a minimum of Ksh851,000 ($11,335) every month, of which only the basic salary of Ksh200,000 ($2,664) is taxed. Some of the allowances making up additional Ksh651,000 ($8,560) include funds for gym memberships and unspecified ‘entertainment` costs.
Ugandan lawmakers pocket the least of MPs in the region, bringing home Ush2.6m ($1,214) in basic monthly salary and Ush7m ($3,271) including night, subsistence and fuel allowances, according to The Monitor newspaper.
This income is still far above average salaries in most other sectors, the newspaper says.
To put things in perspective, with the proposed salary Tanzanian MPs would make $108,936 per year, while Kenyan MPs currently make $136,020 per year.
Members of Congress in the United States make $174,000 a year, which is all taxable income unlike the Tanzanian and Kenyan salaries.
Tanzania`s GDP is $16.18bn and Kenya’s is $29.3bn, while the United States GDP is around $14 trillion, close to 1,000 times the size of Tanzania`s economy.
Should the proposed increase in pay go through for Parliamentarians, Tanzanian MPs will be earning close to $30,000 more than their South African equivalents, who now earn R714,618 ($79,822) a year after giving themselves an 11 percent annual salary increase effective last April.
But reacting to the ongoing debate about the newly proposed package, the Speaker furiously described the reports as total exaggeration aimed at pursuing a malicious agenda against the legislature.
In an exclusive interview with The Guardian on Sunday over the weekend in his Dodoma office, Speaker Sitta said he was surprised at how closely some individuals and members of the press were following legislators` salaries while turning a blind eye to the wages of the other working cadres in the government.
``Is it fair to include a sitting allowance, per diem and other charges into an MP`s monthly pay? Is it also justifiable to include the salary of an assistant to an MP`s monthly pay? By the way, why are MPs the only ones targeted when it comes to emoluments?`` Sitta queried.
He said permanent secretaries, regional and district commissioners, ministers and judges are among the senior working cadres in society but you rarely hear people talking about their earnings.
``Let`s just take a simple example: the fuel charge for the district commission is separately paid, and this applies to the charges for water, electricity and the salary of his aides.
Why don’t you include all this in the DC’s salary? Instead we find it simple to do this to an MP?`` he said.
According to the Speaker, the implementation of the Five-Year Corporate Plan 2009-13 that the Parliament launched mid this week, includes employing research assistants for MPs whose salaries would be paid by the government. ``Is it logical and fair to take the salaries of these research assistants from the legislators’ monthly salaries?`` he asked.
``In the public service sector there is what is described as personal emoluments, which is a salary of the public servant and other charges.
However, due to the absence of MPs` offices in their constituencies, the salaries for their assistants are being included in the legislators` salaries but this does not mean that the whole money belongs to the MP,`` he said.
The Speaker said the allowances paid to the MPs are just the same as the allowances paid to all other public servants of such a rank, adding that all senior officers are paid per diems and sitting allowances.
He said, according to the public service system, per diems and sitting allowances are never taken as an official income of the person.
``In fact the per diem paid to the MPs is sometimes not sufficient when he travels to places like Arusha. We are sometimes forced to pay for hotel accommodation in Arusha.
Now, why make other charges as part of an individual`s income? Very unfortunately this is done to MPs only. No one is saying that permanent secretaries are highly paid,`` Sitta said.
If the same calculations were made for the permanent secretaries, he said, they would be found to be earning between 14m/- and 15m/- per month.
He said people have diverted public attention from deliberating on embezzlement of public funds and corruption to questioning legal expenditures by combining personal income and other charges paid to MPs, describing them as the legislators` monthly salaries.
``Things paid for in the office of the legislator are stationeries, water, power and telecommunication and all this costs 735,000/- per month.
The same items may cost higher in the office of the DC but we don’t include such costs in the DC`s salary,` he said. He said the salary of an MP is 1.8m/-.
The Speaker was reacting to reports that Parliament last year passed the National Assembly Act, 2008 which, among other things, improves legislators` salaries and other charges.
The new Act is expected to be operational after the 2010 general election.
Speaking last Wednesday during the launching of the Five-Year Corperate Plan 2009-2013 Sitta said the Plan aimed at making Parliament an effective institution that is more people-centred.
According to the Speaker, the strategic objectives of the plan include enhancing MPs` overall effectiveness for better service to the general public and enhancing individual effectiveness of MPs by providing them with properly equipped offices at constituencies and Parliament premises.
The plan, which is expected to cost 373.9bn/- during implementation, will involve giving Members of Parliament staff assistants and upgraded data services and constantly reviewing their emoluments and welfare packages to keep MPs and staff appropriately motivated.
Commenting on the for MPs’ per diem and allowances to be taxed, Speaker Sitta said that is subject to the change of the Income Tax Act, 2004.
However, he said if allowances are to be taxed then that has to be applied to all workers in the country and not MPs alone.
``To be frank I don`t agree with people who want allowances to be taxed. You can’t give a person a subsistence allowance and again tax it. It is absolutely meaningless,`` he said.

AT LEAST SOME OF US NOW CAN FINALLY MAKE SENSE WHY HIS HONOURABLE SAMUEL SITTA BRANDED HIMSELF "THE SPEAKER OF STANDARDS AND SPEED."
Ikulu, Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu, Mhasibu Mkuu wa Serikali, Ofisi ya Makamu wa Rais, Polisi, Msajili wa Vyama vya Siasa na Sekretarieti ya Maadili ni kati ya ofisi ambazo, mahesabu yake yalionekana kuwa na mapungufu na kutofuata kanuni za fedha au kufanya malipo yenye nyaraka pungufu.
Mapungufu hayo yamo kwenye ripoti ya Mdhibiti na Mkaguzi Mkuu wa Hesabu Serikali (CAG) kwa mwaka 2007/08 iliyowasilishwa bungeni wiki iliyopita.
Kutokana na mapungufu hayo, ripoti ya CAG inaonyesha kwamba ofisi hizo, licha ya kupewa hati ya ukaguzi inayoridhisha, kila hati imeambatana na mambo ya msisitizo yenye kuzitaka ofisi hizo zisirudie makosa hayo.
Ripoti hiyo inafafanua: ``Kimsingi, aya inayohusu `Mambo ya Msisitizo` ni tahadhari kwa Afisa Masuuli na taarifa muhimu kwa watumiaji wa taarifa za fedha. Vivyo hivyo, kama udhaifu huo haujarekebishwa, unaweza kusababisha hati isiyoridhisha (kutolewa) kwa kaguzi zijazo.``
Ofisi nyingine zilizopewa hati yenye mambo ya msisitizo ni Magereza, Menejimenti ya Utumishi wa Umma, Jeshi la Wananchi Tanzania (JWTZ) (Ngome), Jeshi la Kujenga Taifa (JKT), Mahakama, Wizara ya Katiba na Sheria, Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikino wa Kimataifa, Ofisi ya Rais na Sekretarieti ya Baraza la Mawaziri, Wizara ya Viwanda, Biashara na Masoko na Wizara ya Ardhi na Makazi.
Zingine ni Wizara ya Maji na Umwagiliaji, Wizara ya Fedha na Uchumi, Wizara ya Afya na Ustawi wa Jamii, Tume ya Mipango, Wizara ya Mawasiliano, Sayansi na Teknolojia, Tume ya Kudhibiti Madawa ya Kulevya, Tume ya Utumishi wa Umma na Tume ya Kudhibiti Ukimwi.
Vilevile zipo sekreterieti za mikoa kadhaa kama vile Arusha, Mara, Iringa, Kigoma, Pwani, Kilimanjaro, Mbeya, Singida, Morogoro, Shinyanga, Kagera, Dar es Salaam na Rukwa ambazo zilipata hati inayoridhisha yenye msisitizo.
Kuhusu Ikulu, kwa mfano, ripoti ya CAG inaonyesha katika mwaka wa fedha 2007/08 hakukuwa na mpango wa mwaka wa manunuzi, kinyume na kifungu cha 45 (a) hadi (e) cha Sheria ya Manunuzi ya Umma ya mwaka 2004.
Pia mahesabu ya Ikuku yalikuwa na mambo yasiyosuluhishwa katika taarifa za benki, yanayofikia Sh. 2,710,000.
Kwa mujibu wa ripoti hiyo, Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu ilifanya malipo yenye nyaraka pungufu yanayofikia Sh. milioni 21.8 na malipo yaliyolipwa mara mbili yenye thamani ya sh. milioni 45.
Idara ya Mhasibu Mkuu imeelezwa kufanya malipo yanayofikia sh. milioni 570 kwa M/s Fifth Africa Population bila nyaraka ambatanifu, huku mishahara yenye thamani ya Sh. milioni 8.6 ikilipwa kwa watu walioondoka kwenye utumishi wa umma.
Kwa upande wa ofisi ya Makamu wa Rais, malipo ya madeni ya Sh milioni 89.2 yalifanyika kwenye bajeti ya mwaka huu bila idhini huku stakabadhi za kukiri malipo ya Sh. Milioni 8.9 zikishindwa kuwasilishwa ili kukaguliwa. Pia ofisi inalaumiwa na CAG kwa kufanya manunuzi ya Sh milioni 20.8 kutoka kwa M/s Colour Print (T) Ltd bila kufanya ushindani wa zabuni.
Kuhusu jeshi la polisi, ipo milolongo kadhaa ya makosa ya kihasibu, lakini moja wapo ni malipo ya Sh. milioni 74.1 kufanywa bila nyaraka sahihi na masurufu yasiyorejeshwa kufikia sh. milioni 131.
Ofisi zilizopewa hati yenye shaka ni pamoja na ya Bunge, Wizara za Kilimo, Chakula na Ushirika, Elimu na Mafunzo ya Ufundi, Mambo ya Ndani, Jinsia na Maendeleo ya Watoto, Nishati na Madini, Maliasili na Utalii, Ushirikiano wa Afrika Mashariki na Wizara ya Miundombinu.
Sekretareti za mikoa zilizopewa hati yenye shaka ni Dodoma, Lindi, Mtwara, Mwanza, Ruvuma, Tabora na Tanga. Pia kwenye kundi hilo imo Mahakama ya Ardhi.
Ufafanuzi wa ofisi ya CAG unaonyesha kwamba hati zenye shaka hutolewa pale kunapokuwa na udhaifu wenye uzito na unaoathiri taarifa za fedha lakini hausababishi taarifa hizo kukosa maana kabisa.
Taarifa inasema Bunge lilipewa hati yenye shaka kutokana na mlolongo wa makosa ya kanuni za fedha ikiwa ni pamoja na kulipa matibabu ya Sh. Milioni 102 nje ya nchi bila kuidhinishwa na Wizara ya Afya na Ustawi wa Jamii.
Ofisi zilizopewa hati isiyoridhisha, kwa mujibu wa ufafanuzi, udhaifu unaojitokeza unapotosha kabisa tarifa za hesabu ni pamoja na Wizara ya Kazi, Idara ya Uhamiaji na Wizara ya Maendeleo ya Mifugo na Uvuvi.
Wizara hiyo katika ripoti hiyo inaonyesha kulikuwa na upotevu wa Sh. milioni 90.9 na taarifa za masurufu yasiyorejeshwa ilikuwa inatofutiana.
Mapungufu hayo yamo kwenye ripoti ya Mdhibiti na Mkaguzi Mkuu wa Hesabu Serikali (CAG) kwa mwaka 2007/08 iliyowasilishwa bungeni wiki iliyopita.
