Heri ya Siku ya Wapendanao

Leo ni Siku ya Mtakatifu Valentine,maarufu kama Siku ya Wapendanao,au Valentine's Day kwa kimombo. Pengine ni vema kuadhimisha siku hii kwa kutafakari umuhimu wa upendo.

Binafsi,si muumini mzuri wa siku zinazoambatana na matukio.Kwa mfano,mara nyingi huwa naadhimisha siku yangu ya kuzaliwa kwa sala na tafakuri ya miaka iliyopita na ijayo,Mungu akinijalia.Kwa wengine,siku ya kuzaliwa ni wakati wa kuingia gharama zisizo na umuhimu kwa sherehe kubwa zinazowaacha wakiwa na hali ngumu baadaye.Japo ni muhimu kufanya maadhimisho ya siku muhimu kama ya kuzaliwa lakini kuna umuhimu gani kama siku hiyo inabaki kuwa "siku muhimu" tu pasipo kuangalia wapi umetoka,ulipo na unakoelekea?

Na katika mantiki hiyohiyo,Siku ya Wapendanao inakuwa tu na umuhimu kama upendo utatafsiriwa kwa dhamira na vitendo.Kuna umuhimu gani wa kuadhimisha Siku ya Wapendanao kwa kadi za gharama na vinywaji ilhali umewasahau wanaohitaji upendo wako?

Wengi tunaelewa namna baadhi ya wenzetu wanavyoiogopa siku hii kutokana na kuwa na ma-Valentine wengi.Na miongoni mwa hawa ni wale wanaoadhimisha siku hii na "nyumba ndogo" huku wakiacha visingizio kwa wapenzi wao halisi.Hali hiyo inapoteza maana nzima ya siku hii.Haiwezekani mtu kudai anaadhimisha Siku ya Wapendanao kwa kumsaliti mpenzi wake.

Vinginevyo,nawatakia Siku njema ya Wapendanao nikiamini kuwa maadhimisho ya siku hii yatakuwa ya dhamira zaidi kuliko vitendo pekee.

Watanzania Wana Haki ya Kujua Hali ya Uchumi wa Taifa lao

Kumekuwa na tetesi za muda mrefu kuwa hali ya uchumi wa Tanzania ni mbaya.Hata hivyo,kama ilivyozoeleka,wahusika serikalini wameendelea kuwanyima Watanzania haki yao ya msingi ya kufahamishwa hali ya uchumi wa taifa lao. 

Hivi karibuni Gavana wa Benki Kuu,Profesa Benno Ndulu,alizungumza na waandishi wa habari kuhusu ubora wa noti mpya.Licha ya kuonekana kufahamu kuwa wananchi hawaridhishwi na kiwango duni cha noti hizo,Gavana Ndulu alizitetea kwa nguvu zote.Akemee ili ifahamike kuwa 'zimechakachuliwa'?

Akiichambua hali ya uchumi, gavana huyo alisema kwa sasa hali ya uchumi ni nzuri na kwamba nchi ina uwezo wa kulipa huduma kwa miezi sita bila kutegemea sehemu yoyote.Lakini katika kile kinachoweza kiashirikia kiwa kauli hiyo ilikuwa ya kisiasa zaidi kuliko ya kitaalamu,Gavana alidai kuwa mwenye dhamana ya kueleza athari za mgao wa umeme kwa uchumi ni Waziri wa Nishati na Madini.Huku sio tu kukwepa majukumu bali mwendelezo wa danadana za kibabaishaji zinazoeleka kuunda mfumo wa utendaji wa viongozi wengi wa taasisi za umma.Na kwa vile 'Mteuzi Mkuu' Serikalini,yaani Rais,anaonekana kama yupo usingizini kubaini mapungufu ya baadhi ya watendaji aliowateua,ni dhahiri utendaji kwa mfumo wa 'bora liende' utaendelea kuwepo kwa muda mrefu.

Kwa hapa Uingereza,Benki Kuu imekuwa ikitoa taarifa kuhusu viwango vya riba kila mwezi.Taarifa hiyo huambatana na maelezo ya kutosha kuhusu mwenendo wa uchumi wa nchi hii.Na kila baada ya miezi michache,ofisi ya takwimu nayo hutoa taarifa yenye takwimu zinzoashiria kupanda,kutuama au kushuka kwa uchumi.Kadhalika,vielekezo muhimu kuhusu uchumi wa nchi kama vile idadi ya wasio na ajira,mfumuko wa bei,wastani wa thamani ya sarafu,nk vimekuwa vikiwekwa wazi kwa umma.

Na huko nchini Marekani,Serikali ya Rais Barack Obama,imekuwa ikitoa taarifa za hali ya uchumi wa nchi hiyo mara kwa mara,hata kama kufanya hivyo kufanya hivyo kunaathiri namna wananchi wanavyoridhishwa au kutoridhishwa na serikali hiyo.Huku sio tu kutambua haki ya wananchi kuhabarishwa bali pia kuelewa kuwa kuficha ukweli kuhusu hali ya uchumi hakuwezi kuufanya uchumi husika kuboreka.

Na ndio maana licha ya kuwaficha Watanzania kuhusu hali ya uchumi wa nchi yao,sambamba na kauli mbalimbali za kisiasa kuwa 'hali cha uchumi ni poa' gazeti la Mwananchi katika toleo lake la leo linaripoti kuwa Serikali imelazimika kufumua bajeti yake ya mwaka wa fedha 2010/11 kwa kupunguza matumizi ya Wizara ili kufidia upungufu wa Sh670.4 bilioni zilizotegemewa kupatikana kutokana na makusanyo ya kodi katika mwaka huu wa fedha.

Hata hivyo,gazeti hilo lilipomtaka Waziri wa Fedha na Uchumi, Mustaffa Mkullo, kuihusina na hali hiyo alisema taarifa ya hali ya uchumi wa nchi alishaitoa hivi karibuni kwenye chombo kimoja nchini, hivyo hahitaji kuitoa tena."Nilitoa taarifa kwa wenzenu wa gazeti (sio Mwananchi) sasa siwezi tena kuirudia," alisema.Ni dhahiri kuwa laiti hali ingekuwa nzuri,Mkulo asingefanya dharau hiyo hasa kwa vile viongozi dhaifu huwa wepesi sana kumwaga hadharani habari njema wakiamini zitawaletea sifa.

Wakati Watanzania wanasubiri 'waletewe' Katiba mpya,ni muhimu kuangalia tatizo hili la ukandamizwaji wa makusudi wa haki ya kuhabarishwa.Nchi mbalimbali zina sheria zinazoilazimisha Serikali na taasisi za umma kutoa au kuruhusu upatikanaji wa taarifa.Japo tunafahamu kuwa taarifa nyingi nchini 'zinachakachuliwa' kwa minajli ya kufisadi,kudanganya wapiga kura,kughilibu wafadhili,au sehemu tu ya utamaduni wa kutowajibika,uwepo wa sheria ya Haki ya Habari (Freedom of Information act) utakomesha tabia kama hiyo ya dharau Waziri Mkulo kupuuza kuwaeleza Watanzania kuhusu hali ya uchumi wa nchi yao

Shukrani na Dukuduku

Zoezi la ujenzi wa jarida kamili mtandaoni linaendelea vema.Lakini kama ilivyo pindi mtu anapohama kutoka sehemu moja kwenda nyingine,kuna vitu vinavyochukua muda kuwa timilifu.

Naomba nichukue fursa hii kuwashukuru wanahabari-mtandaoni wenzangu waliokubali ombi langu kwao kunitundikia katika blogu zao tangazo la mabadiliko ya anwani ya mtandao huu.Nawashukuru sana.Na pia nawakaribisha sana kushirikiana nami katika tovuti hii shirikishi.

Kwa wale niliowatumia ombi kama hilo lakini wakapuuza,sina maneno nao as such.Kuna baadhi yao ambao nina uhakika wa asilimia kubwa kuwa hawakuona barua pepe niliyowatumia.Nina uhakika huo kwa vile nawafahamu kuwa si watu wenye tabia ya dharau,jeuri au husda.Labda wako bize sana kiasi hawakuwa na muda hata wa kusoma barua-pepe iliyokuwa na ombi hilo.

Lakini kuna wengine ambao nadhani walikuwa na sababu zao "binafsi".Labda hawakupendezwa na uhamaji huu wa kutoka blogu kuelekea jarida kamili mtandaoni (wanasema ukitaka ufarakane na Waswahili basi piga hatua japo nusu).Au labda wao ni viumbe muhimu kabisa ambao hawakupaswa kubughudhiwa na ombi kama hilo.Na kwa baadhi ya waswahili,wanaamini dharau na maringo ni viungo (recipes) vya "umuhimu" wao katika jamii.

Enewei,natambua wametumia haki yao ya kikatiba na kidemokrasia lakini hio haiondoi ukweli kuwa walichofanya si uungwana.Na kwa vile binafsi naamini kwenye kuelezana ukweli,nimeona ni vema kuwashutumu japo naelewa fika haitobadili chochote.

Mwisho,nakaribisha maoni kuhusu tovuti hii hususan yaliyomo na mwonekano.Pia naomba wanahabari-mtandaoni ambao awali nilijumuisha anwani za blogu zao kwenye blogroll yangu lakini kwa sasa hazipo,wasifikiri nimewatelekeza.Naendelea na zoezi la kukusanya viungo vyote vya awali ambavyo kwa bahati mbaya vilifutika wakati wa uhamaji huu unaoendelea.

Tupo pamoja

Mabilioni ya Mubarak yataifishwa huko Uswisi

Serikali ya Uswisi imetangaza kutaifisha mali zote za Dikteta Hosni Mubarak,ambaye jioni hii ameng'olewa madarakani na nguvu ya umma.Kwa mujibu wa vyombo vya habari vya kimataifa,haijafahamika iwapo serikali za Uingereza,Marekani na nchi nyingine za Magharibi ambako Mubarak ana mali zake (na kujichumia utajiri unaokadiriwa kufikiwa dola za Kimarekani Bilioni 70) nazo zitachukua hatua kama hiyo ya Uswisi au la.Je mafisadi wetu huko nyumbani wanajifunza lolote katika sakata hili?

I just hope they do!

Metamorphosis of CCM:From Chama Cha Mapinduzi,to cha Majambazi,and now Chama Cha Mafisadi

So CCM has turned 34!

It's almost certain that you'll end up in confusion,if not a severe headache,or to make matter even worse feeling nauseated when you take time to reflect  on where this exceedingly corrupt party came from.I remember back in the days when CCM used to be as important as one's religious faith.Of course,people were coerced into having a blind faith in the sole party by then but that does not diminish the fact that the party was to a larger extent serving the masses regardless of their bank balances.

But,any sensible discussion on how CCM transformed itself from a people's party to a clique of political thugs should not try to avoid the role of Baba wa Taifa in getting all of us to this unknown destination.I have great respect to Mwalimu but his failure,intentionally or short-sightedly,to realise that some of his closest allies were actually wolves in sheep skin.You don't have to be a political analyst to discover that the likes of Kingunge Ngombale Mwiru,who were like Nyerere's brothers,were preaching to the public about Ujamaa na Kujitegemea while they were secretly praying for Mwalimu to disappear so that they could tunr our country into shamba la bibi.And shmba la bibi we truly are now!

Some scholars have gone further to a point of claiming that Nyerere's decision to ng'atuka in 1985 was actually a vailed admission of his failure to turn Tanzania into a socialist state.They also contend that his decision to appoint Ali Hassan Mwinyi as a successor was a calculated move to obscure Nyerere's own failures.And that move seemed to have paid dividends as it is the Mwinyi-era,and not Nyerere's, that is often portrayed as a the starting point of Tanzania's journey to nowhere.

It could as well be argued that in choosing Mwinyi as his successor,Nyerere was continuing his tradition of appointments based on personal allegiance rather than being merit-driven.Let's be honest.What convinced him that Tanzania would have been in safe hands under Mwinyi's leadership,bearing in mind that the country's fragile and aid-dependent economy was in shambles?

Do I think  Nyerere's leadership  was as poor as his predecessors?Not really.The major issue I have with the way he ruled the country is his blind faith in some crooks who  surrounded him,fooling him and the masses that they had strong faith in Ujamaa na Kujitegemea while in fact the were worse than the Mob.

However,at least Nyerere seemed to be concerned about the welfare of the nation and the people he led.And although he retired without making a public apology for his failure in realising the Ujamaa na Kujitegemea dream,his commitment to Tanzanians of all walks of life was truly unsurpassed.

Fast forward two decades later,and we have a political party that not lacks strong leadership but also has willingly made itself a hostage to the worst kind of characters.When you have a weak party leader like Jakaya Kikwete,sitting in midst of crooks who bankrolled their dirty money between 1995 to 2005 to assure he becomes the 4th President of Tanzania,come what may,the Judiciary comprised of a substantially high number of appointees who hold their allegiance to Kikwete as a person,and a Legislative body full of people who bought their way into power by splashing illegally amassed funds,the result is no better than having a Mafia state.

To make matter even worse,the instruments for good governance and public service are also severely infected with a congregation of unscrupulous people whose only mission is to multiply their number of nyumba ndogos,mansions,fleets of luxury cars and deposits in their fat bank accounts.

And contrary to popular belief that age comes with wisdow,the older CCM gets the more corrupt and useless it becomes.And as every young and old sinner seems to realise that the ruling party offer a safe haven as long as one is ready to buy ukamanda wa vijana,CCM's coming birthdays will continue to bring painful memories to every mlalahoi while the fisadis laugh their way to the bank.
