<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">By
Frederick Fussi, May 17 Dar es Salaam. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I’m of an opinion that
Tanzanian’s political co-existence is characterized by autocracy of the ruling
Party CCM. This autocracy emanated from few people’s interest into the system
whose political power appears legitimately granted to them through elections. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Current debate of
the Constituency Assembly has proven my opinion. Before even approached the house, the ruling
party had already issued a party standing regarding the CRC second draft of the
new constitution. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The issue I address here
is neither the goodness nor the badness of the CRC second draft of the new constitution
but the political will of the ruling party on the issue. The ruling party
expressed the political will for the land to device its new constitution but
the will remain too autocratic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The ruling party
standing on the issue of number of governments is a clear autocratic decision
ever made in Tanzanian democracy where there is co-existence of other political
parties. The issue of number of governments
as originally presented into CRC second draft of the new constitution was an
opinion of citizen and not politicians. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Could the CRC decide to
take a side from political parties opinions over the number of governments,
without doubt the ruling party with 5 million national membership coverage
could have succeed to have in place the existing system of two tier government,
whilst more than 30 million people in the land would have been ignored and
denied their rights by the CRC to participate in constitution making.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This existing political
autocracy denies marginalized voices to be heard, and to effectively
participate in decision-making process. Taking an example of each financial year
budget planning. Constructive criticism offered by the opposition camp through
parliamentary debates gives a narrow room for their recommendations to be taken
aboard for improvement of existing national priorities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Therefore in aggregate,
this tendency of unnecessary political autocracy impedes our development, due
to inadequate accommodation of alternative views into national plans annual,
and budget being one of them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The political autocracy
has become a culture that slows down the development pace, differences in
political ideologies should not be a reason of not accommodating constructive criticism.
Changing the culture of political autocracy requires a generational attitude
change initiative. Changing a culture
cannot be an overnight initiative, it requires time and more learning. The
ruling party needs to be open to learning, young people into the ruling party
have a role of changing the game to bring that change. More than half of adults
and old people in the ruling party today shall not be alive in the next 50
years, what shall be our situation then, if we are not learning to change right
now? This is exactly the right time to begin our generational change. And learning
shall obvious remain an act of sowing a seed that the next generation must
reap. </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">By
Frederick Fussi | 21 February 2014 <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Many
Tanzanians have different opposing views following the appeal of Constituent
Assembly members about their argument of lowly paid allowances. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
have been so much tempted to share my views concerning the matter because of
two main reasons. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Firstly,
I did my undergraduate research on the impact of allowances on organizational
performance; the case study of Ilala Municipality. Secondly, the argument of CA
members shall enable the public to understand my theory on the relationship
between resources and leadership. Today I will not embark on the former reason
but the later. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My
theory on resources and leadership asserts that resources are obvious scarce
and leaders’ ability to allocate resources fairly to their people is naturally
strong but leaders artificially choose to become weak at the expense of
opportunities, life pressures and attitude and hence vice versa is true. You
therefore need to have leaders who choose to remain strong in whatever pressing
situations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
CA members are naturally strong to accept the allocated allowances but they
became weak over the opportunity they got to write our new constitution, life
pressures that the allowances are inadequate for them to survive in Dodoma and
attitude that they think to deserve an increased pay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
see their argument into five faces. Firstly the nation and its government is
suffering from a severe lack of money to adequately finance its activities
including descent allowances for the CA members. This is because the best
assumption remains that; if they were decently paid they would not lament. This
is enough to illustrate that most Tanzanians aren't paid decently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Secondly,
CA members are portraying a true image on how most of Tanzanians are poor
income earners. A primary school teacher paid Shs. 300,000 per month is
ironically represented by a CA member lamenting that Shs.300, 000 per day paid
in a total of 70 days to 90 days is a low payment. A critical lesson should be
drawn here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Thirdly,
there are many other Tanzanians whose voice of being lowly paid have not been
adequately amplified, therefore the CA members should not forget that many of
us are also lowly paid and thus they should write the constitution with an agony
of low payment of allowance and consequently write the citizen centered
constitution that cares about well-paid salaries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Fourthly;
it also portrayed an image of how we Tanzanians are not serious with important
issues. Instead of the CA members to concentrate on the important issue of
writing the strong and lasting constitution they are moved by personal interest
on asking increased allowances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Fifthly,
it portrays that we did not need the new constitution and that our problem was
not the new constitution rather our genuine need is equitable and fairly share
of the national cake among Tanzanians. The allowances of all CA members in
aggregate would make more than 10 billion; this is a national cake, worth to be
wisely shared with a justified cause and writing new constitution is one of
them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
fight over increased allowances is an indication that the roots of our problems
are rarely addressed as they appear to be.
One needs a critical eye to debate over the this issue. This should be
an alarm over the upcoming elections in 2014 for local government and General
Elections in 2015, we need to get leaders whose eyes day and night are looking
at the roots of our problems. Knowing the root of the problem is to solve the
problem ninety nine percent, one remaining percent is obvious the conclusion
chapter of the solution. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mnamo tarehe 24 Julai mpaka
26 Julai mwaka huu (2013) nilikuwa na vijana wenzangu kadhaa katika mafunzo ya
Uongozi kwa Vijana (Young Leaders Training Programme). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mafunzo haya yanayoandaliwa
kila mwaka na Taasisi ya Kisiasa ya nchini Ujerumani ijulikanayo kama Friedrich
Ebert Stiftung (FES) yalifanyika katika
kituo cha Mikutano Kibaha (Kibaha Conference Center)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Viongozi wengi hapa Tanzania
wamewahi kupata mafunzo ya namna hii ya uongozi kutoka FES ambapo mafunzo
hufanyika katika muktadha wa nchi husika na kuongozwa na muwezeshaji wa ndani
ya nchi, mwenye uzoefu na aliyebobea katika masuala ya uongozi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Moja kati ya mambo tuliyokuwa
tukijifunza katika mafunzo haya ni sifa za uongozi ama unaweza kuziita sifa za
kiongozi. Tulitaja sifa nyingi na kuzijadili ikiwa ni pamoja na uadilifu, kuwa
mfano wa kuigwa, kuwa mwenye maarifa, kuwajibika, muwazi, kuwa na dira
(visionary), ubunifu na sifa nyinginezo ambazo safu hii isingetosha kuzitaja. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Pamoja na sifa zote
tulizojadili nimegundua kuwa tulisahau
kutaja sifa moja ambayo ni muhimu kiongozi akawa nayo. Sifa hii ni ile ya uwezo wa kiongozi kuwafahamu watu wake. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Miaka ya hivi karibuni
kutokana na kuongezeka kwa maarifa, taarifa na utandawazi sifa hii ya kiongozi
kuwafahamu watu wake imeanza kutoweka miongoni mwa viongozi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Kiongozi anaweza akatumia
uwezo wake wa fedha akampatia kazi mtaalamu (Consultant) amsaidie kufanya
uchambuzi wa masuala yahusuyo watu, lakini sio kwa kiongozi huyo kujibiidiisha
kuwafahamu watu wake kwa undani. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Kuna tofauti kati ya
kiongozi kuzungumzia masuala (issues) zinazowakabili watu na kiongozi
kuwafahamu watu wake. Hapa sizungumzii ufahamu wa masuala bali nazungumzia sifa
ya kuwajua watu wako kwa undani, kujua wanalaa katika nyumba ya aina gani,
wanakula nini, shughuli zao ni zipi, kipato chao kipoje wanavaa nini na endapo
wana usalama kwa kiwango gani. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Uelewa wa masuala (issue)
unaotokana na rejea za vitabu, ripoti mbalimbali na wakati mwingine vyombo vya
habari, huu huwa ni uelewa wa jumla jumla. Kiongozi anaweza kuchukua masuala ya
jumla kisha akazungumzia athari za masuala hayo na baadhi ya wananchi
wakampenda kwa umahiri wake wa kuelezea shida zao na suluhu za shida zao,
akaishia hapo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Wiki chache zilizopita
tukiwa katika mafunzo haya haya ya uongozi tumekuwa tukizungumzia kwa jumla
jumla juu ya tatizo la ukosefu wa ajira hapa nchini. Tulifanya rejea katika
mada iliyowasilishwa na Dr. George Nangale chini ya kichwa cha habari <i>“Nafasi ya nchi katika maendeleo ya uchumi:
Changamoto za ajira Afrika Mashariki-mfano wa Tanzania”</i>. Mada hii
iliwasilishwa kwa mara ya kwanza tarehe 24-25 Septemba 2012 nchini Kenya,
Nairobi katika mkutano wa sera za ajira za nchi washirika wa Afrika mashariki. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Rejea nyingine tulizofanya
ni sera ya Taifa ya Ajira (2008) na rejea binafsi ambazo mimi nilifanya ni pamoja
na Integrated Labour Force Survey, (2006). Uchambuzi wangu na mchango wangu
katika mjadala ulilenga hasa katika tafsiri ya ajira kwa mujibu wa sera ya
Taifa ya ajira. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mchango wangu ukaegemea
katika muktadha wa namna vijana wa hapa nchini wanaweza kujenga fursa za ajira
katika kilimo. Msingi wa hoja yangu ulijengwa katika maana tatu za tafsiri ya
ajira kwa mujibu wa sera ya Taifa ya ajira. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sera hii inatambua ajira
inakamilika yakiwapo mambo matatu, mosi ajira ni sharti iwe ni shughuli ya
kisheria, pili iwe shughuli yenye staha na tatu iwe shughuli yenye kutengeneza
kipato. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Nchini kwetu zipo sekta sita
za ajira ikiwamo Serikali, mashirika ya umma, sekta binafsi, sekta isiyo rasmi,
sekta ya kilimo na sekta ya kaya (household sector). Niling’amua kuwa sekta ya
kilimo inaongoza kwa kutotimiza sharti la mwisho la tafsiri ya ajira, kama
ilivyoelezewa na dira ya sera ya Taifa ya ajira (2008). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sekta ya kilimo inaunda
asilimia 74 ya watu 16milioni walioajiriwa nchini ambapo asilimia 0.0 pekee
ndio hutengeneza kipato kutokana na kushughulika moja kwa moja katika kilimo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hoja yangu ikawa kuwa kwa
kuwa kilimo kinaajiri sehemu kubwa ya watu waliokuwa katika ajira nchini kuna
haja ya kuwepo mabadiliko ya kisera yatakayowezesha kilimo kitimize masharti
yote matatu ya ajira (shughuli ya kisheria, yenye staha na inayozalisha kipato
kwa wingi).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tukiishia katika mabishano
ya hoja katika mafunzo yetu ya viongozi, huenda hoja yangu ikawa na nguvu na
ikawa ya maana. Ila udhaifu wa hoja hii ni kuwa hoja inajengwa na rejea ambazo
zimelazimisha hoja kuwa ya jumla jumla na mabishano ya hoja baina yangu na
viongozi wenzangu yasitoke nje ya mafunzo yetu ya uongozi. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Kama kiongozi nimeishia
kujadili hoja jumla jumla, kiwango cha ufahamu wangu kitaishia katika ujumla
jumla wa hoja endapo sitakuwa na juhudi za kufanya hoja yangu iwe ya reja reja
(specific issue). Mfano nitakaotoa hapo chini kuhusu kijana Hussein mchuuzi wa
korosho utatosha kuelezea namna ambavyo hoja yangu ilipaswa kuwa ya reja reja
(specific issue) na pia ufahamu kuongezeka kwa kumfahamu kijana huyu
aliyekatika ajira isiyorasmi (moja kati ya sekta sita za ajira hapa nchini).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sasa uwezo wa kujenga hoja
kwa namna ya reja reja inahitaji hiki ninachokiita “uwezo wa kiongozi
kuwafahamu watu wake”. Kila kiongozi
katika eneo lake la uongozi analojukumu la kufahamu kwa undani watu wake, tabia
zao na mienendo yao na endapo mienendo hiyo inausaidia uongozi kufanikisha
dhima yake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Jioni ya leo (31 Julai 2012)
nilipokuwa nikirejea toka safari ya kikazi mjini Morogoro kuja jijini Dar es
Salaam nilibahatika kukutana na kijana Hussein mchuuzi wa korosho. Korosho ni
zao la kilimo hapa nchini na pia
Tanzania ni ya tatu duniani kwa kuzalisha korosho, na ya pili Afrika, wakati
mauzo ya nje (export) hufanyika sana nchini India. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Kijana huyu Hussein alipanda
ndani ya basi dogo aina ya coster maeneo ya mbezi Louis mkononi akiwa amebeba
vifuko vidogo vidogo vya korosho. Kijana huyu alikuja moja kwa moja kuketi
pembezoni mwa kiti nilipoketi mimi. Nikaguswa moyoni mwangu kumsemesha na
baadaye tukaanza kuongelea biashara yake ndogo ya uchuuzi wa korosho. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mimi nilidhani kuwa kijana
huyo anarejea nyumbani kwake baada ya shughuli zake kumbe ndio kwanza alikuwa
anaanza shughuli yake ya uchuuzi wa korosho. Akanieleza kuwa wauza korosho wote
mabarabarani wanavikundi vyao, na pia hupata mikopo kutokana na kuwepo katika
vikundi hivyo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Kwa siku Hussein huuza mifuko
angalau 20 kila mmoja wenye thamani ya shilingi 1,000. Wakati mwingine huuza mifuko yenye korosho za
thamani ya shilingi 500, 2,000 na 5,000. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Soko hutegemea mitaa
atakayozunguka siku hiyo na idadi ya wateja atakaokutana nao. Pia soko
hutegemea idadi ya mifuko ambayo yeye mwenyewe huiandaa kila siku. Kazi hii ni
nzuri isipokuwa humlazimisha muuzaji kutembea umbali mrefu akitafuta angalau
shilingi 20,000 kwa siku. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hussein anapata kipato,
shuguli yake huenda haivunji baadhi ya sheria, lakini natilia shaka endapo kazi
hii ni ya staha kwa kuwa kijana huyu hutembea umbali mrefu hasa nyakati za
jioni na usiku jambo ambalo ni hatari kwa usalama wake. Naye alikiri kuwa sio
salama sana kutembea usiku. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Jambo lililoushangaza moyo
wangu ni pale kijana huyo aliponieleza kuwa kwa biashara hiyo ya uchuuzi
aliyoanza tangu mwaka 2000 ameweza kujenga nyumba ya vyumba vitano huko maeneo
ya visiga Kibaha. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Kipindi nakutana na huyu
kijana alikuwa amepanga kushuka kituo cha Kona Kimara kisha kuanza kutembeza
vifuko vya korosho kuanzia kituo hicho mpaka mbezi mwisho. Akanieleza kuwa
wakati mwingine huanzia mwenge, ubungo na kuendelea kutembea mpaka mbezi mwisho
ambapo hupanda basi na kurejea kwake Visiga, Kibaha. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Eneo ambalo kijana huyu
hufanyia shughuli yake ni jimbo la ubungo na wilaya ya kinondoni ambapo kuna
Mbunge na mkuu wa wilaya na madiwani. Eneo ambalo kijana huyo anaishi ni Kibaha
ambapo pia ni wilaya na jimbo. Visiga ambapo ndiko yalipo makazi yake pia kuna
viongozi wa serikali za kata na mtaa pia. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Maswali baada ya kukutana na
kijana huyo yakawa ni kiwango gani viongozi wa maeneo yote niliyotaja hapo juu wanawafahamu
watu wao. Mfano huyu kijana anawakilisha wachuuzi wa vitu vya barabarani (sekta
isiyo rasmi), kuna vijana wanaojihusisha na biashara ndogondogo kama mama
ntilie, kuchoma chipsi, wauza matunda, wanafuzi, waalimu, na wengineo katika
makundi mengine. Je mfano mwenyekiti wa serikali za mtaa na wajumbe wake
wanafamu idadi ya vijana mtaani kwao wenye kufanya shughuli kama hizo? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ni kwa kiwango gani kiongozi
anawajibika kushuka ngazi ya chini na kujua endapo watu anaowaongoza, mathalani
wanafunzi, wanakumbwa na adha zipi katika kufanikisha masomo yao. Waalimu, je
wanafanikishaje wajibu wao wa kujenga taaluma katika eneo lako.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ni kwa kiwango gani viongozi
wanaachilia mbali kurejea ripoti za vitabu na rejea mbali mbali na kutenga muda
wa kushuka chini kuwafahamu watu wao kwa undani? Kiwango cha kiongozi kufahamu
watu wake ndio kiwango chake cha uongozi aliokuwa nao. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ukiwa kiongozi ukaishia
kufahamu mambo yaliyomo vitabuni pekee na kwenye ripoti pekee unawezaje kufanya
uhakiki (reconcile) wa ripoti hizo kama sio juhudi binafsi kuwafamu wako wako
na kujua endapo ripoti hizo zinawasilisha hali halisi?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hasara ya kuishia katika
rejea za vitabuni, na ripoti nyingine kuhusu maisha ya raia wa eneo husika
inaweza kujenga utamaduni wa kuweka mipango na sera kulingana na ripoti hizo
jambo linaweza lisiwe na tija endapo hali halisi ni tofauti. Na matokeo
(results) au mafanikio ya mipango hiyo ama yawe kidogo sana ama yasiwepo kabisa.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hasara nyingine itokanayo na
rejea za vitabuni na ripoti za wataalamu ni ubunifu wa sera ambazo hazijawahi
kujaribiwa kabla ya kutekelezwa kwa kuwa viongozi hawapati nafasi binafsi ya
kuwafahamu watu wao. Simaanishi kuwa ripoti za wataalamu sio halisi ama usahihi
wake unatiliwa mashaka, la hasha. Ninachosisitiza ni uwezo wa kiongozi
kuwafahamu watu wake kwa utashi wake binafsi. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tanzania kama nchi imekuwa
mhanga wa sera za namna hii (sera za jumla jumla). Wataalamu wanapewa pesa
kufanya utafiti na ripoti zao mara nyingi huchambua mambo kwa jumla jumla.
Ujumla huu unaweza kusaidia kujua ni eneo lipi la kuanzia kulifanyia kazi kwa
reja reja. Hatua inayofuata ni kiongozi kushuka chini ngazi ya kuwafahamu watu
wake kwa ureja reja (specific intervention). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sababu nyingine kwa nini
Tanzania imekuwa mhanga wa sera za jumla jumla ni kwa sababu ya kuyachukulia
mambo kwa ujumla wake tangu awali. Athari ya sera hizi ni kutokuwa na kasi
kubwa ya mabadiliko kwa kuwa mbinu ya kuleta mabadiliko huwa ile ya jumla jumla
badala ya reja reja (specific transformation) kwa kuwa taarifa za awali huletwa
jumla jumla na viongozi hupata uvivu wa kumeng’enya taarifa ziwe reja reja
(specific issues) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Kasi kubwa ya mabadiliko
itakuwepo endapo kila kiongozi atawafahamu watu wake kwa undani na kushambulia
kiini cha matatizo yao kwa mbinu ya urejereja (specific strategy of problem
solving). Kwa mfumo wa viongozi tulionao ni muhimu kufahamu jambo moja moja kwa
kina na kuepuka kuchukulia mambo kwa jumla jumla. Mtazamo huu utabadilisha kasi
ya mabadiliko yetu kwa kuwa uwezo wa viongozi utaongezeka kwa kuwa kila
kiongozi atakuwa anawafahamu watu wake kwa undani. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
By Frederick Fussi<br />
<br />
A progressing nation ever since the creation of humankind required a clear positioning of its young population in order to guarantee the future of that nation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
The youth of Tanzania, as a fast growing young population constituting more than 35 per cent of the whole population, has an active role to play in the on-going process of writing the new Constitution.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
Before venturing into what should be the young people’s position in the process of writing the new Constitution, the youth themselves should be made aware of their position.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
The point is that the fact that the current young population and the next one will face the impact of this new Constitution, their participation is a prime opportunity for them to shape their future.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
The position of the youth should take two forms if at all the aim is to shape the future. The first is: how best the youth should unite to shape the future without compromising the agenda for national building, and secondly, what form the post-constitutional agenda be, that will keep the youth focused, solidified and keen to see the shaped future is a reality.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
The first aspect is tackled in summary form in this article, while the second one will hinge on what should be considered the view of the youth on the post-constitutional agenda that is connected to a fair distribution of our scarce resources.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
On April 3, we witnessed the process of nominating representatives at the grassroots level, who will be representing fellow citizens from their localities in constitutional councils. These will be grassroots platforms responsible for scrutinising the first draft of the new Constitution.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">According to an analysis conducted by a youth-led organisation, Tanzania Youth Vision Association (TYVA), based on guidelines of the Constitutional Review Commission (CRC), elected youth representatives from Tanzania Mainland were 3,429 (Tanzania Mainland 3,249 and Dar es Salaam 180) which is equal to 19 per cent of all representatives with the composition of elderly people, women, the youth and other people totaling 18,169 with Councillors altogether.In Zanzibar, elected youth representatives were 335, which is equal to 28 per cent of all representatives including Councillors.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The number and the percentage of youth representatives do not matter; rather, what matters more is how best the youth should turn their voice into a strong tool; to amplify the voice, and position their common agenda within a context of a united bloc rather than disjointed units, whatever percentage of their representation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
The 19-per cent and 27-per cent of the youth from streets and wards as well as shehia of Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar respectively will be representatives of the youth in the constitutional councils regulated by the CRC although there is also an opportunity for other youth to become united through youth-led NGOs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
But the question remains: what should be the common unifying perspective shaping views of the youth as they sit to scrutiny the first draft of the new constitution?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
TYVA for the past two years (2011 and 2012) had coordinated a project known as “Ijue Katiba” (Understand your Constitution). It collected views of the youth from Arusha, Dodoma, Mwanza, Iringa, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam on the new Constitution and successfully presented them before the CRC at Karimjee Hall in Dar es Salaam on January 9 this year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
From the views of the youth presented before the CRC, TYVA has discovered a gap on what should be the youth’s position on the critical need for a unifying perspective that incorporates all views and make them focused for the future.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
Having participated in the project generated by TYVA, with the experience of the same in the past two years, I have an obligation to propose the way forward on the unifying perspective that must help the youth understand what they stand for and why they should stand for it and for whose interest.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
This will be the beginning of youth positioning themselves in the process and carrying forward their common agenda in the post-new Constitution era.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
The unifying perspective that should bring all the youth together as we scrutiny the first draft of the new Constitution is to have an understanding that the new Constitution is an instrument that will be used by all Tanzanians to fairly regulate the distribution of their scarce resources among all people of the country without making some far better off than others.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
Scare resources in this context should mean anything valuable given by nature that involves costs in obtaining them. We measure the value of scarce resources based on how hard its accessibility is.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
For instance, money is not easily accessible and is thus a scarce resource. Therefore, the distribution of the treasure of Tanzania vested in scarce natural resources like mineral deposits, water, gas, oil and others should be translated into monetary value.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
The Constitution as an instrument should direct the legislature, the executive and the judiciary to fairly distribute them among the people without making some better off and others worse off.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
In the future, we can further deliberate on how the Constitution should be treated by the youth as an instrument of fair distribution of scarce resources among all Tanzanians without making some better off and others worse off.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
The successful take off of this unifying perspective among the youth will give birth to the post-new Constitution agenda where the youth will live and aspire to see that the agenda of the future shaped by themselves come into a reality.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">

Although the teachers’ attempt to strike was foiled last year, they somehow managed through their nonviolent approach to express their lack of peace of mind resulting from meagre wages and belated payment of their allowances.</div>

When the government uses what it terms as ‘reasonable power’ to tame nonviolent boycotts and demonstrations against civil servants, it also spoils the morale at workplaces and sets the mood for violence to break out.</div>

The best way for the government to quell nonviolent conflicts involving teachers, health workers and students would be employing diplomacy instead of force.</div>

<strong>Dar es Salaam.</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A leading scholarly and political argument as to why Tanzanians need a new Constitution is that, when the current Mother Law was created, most people did not participate in the process of writing it. The perspective of people’s participation has dominated most debates.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The need for a new Mother Law and the leading argument for its discourse ended up demanding massive people’s participation in the process. Democratically, this is correct. However, technically this view is wrong.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is wrong because the weakness of lack of popular people’s participation cannot override the issue of shortfalls in the Mother Law itself, particularly in the area of autonomous power of the president to make decisions like appointment of key officials such as the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) and Commissioner of Public Leadership Ethics Secretariat.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For democratic purposes, it’s appropriate and relevant to have a new Constitution that provides fundamental guidelines for governing the country’s affairs. The new Constitution should guarantee an independent electoral commission that would oversee free and fair elections, among other things.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pressing issue of ethics in public leadership is crucial for a democratic country. Tanzania should have ensured an effective framework for public leadership ethics before embarking on the exercise of writing a new Constitution.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is being done now is vice versa, we have started with the new Constitution and nothing substantial has been done yet on adopting public leadership ethics.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This raises doubts whether the new Constitution will work effectively because good governance is crucial to effectiveness of any law.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A constitution is merely a law, while ethics go beyond the premise of legislation. You may have very good laws, but lack of appropriate personal values can be a problem in putting statutes to effect. I will give an example on compliance with laws versus a person who observes ethics and a person who doesn’t.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Complying with the law is not a matter of the law itself; it’s a matter of an official responsibly observing ethics by upholding principles of natural justice.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unethical individual would not comply with laws. For instance, procurement in a municipal council would end up unjustly benefiting officials who oversee the tendering process.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In his 2010 annual report of financial statements by local government authorities, the CAG commented, “My general statement is that, the status of compliance with the Public Procurement Legislations learned from the transactions tested as part of my audits is still not satisfactory as far as the legal requirements are concerned.”</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Therefore, compliance with laws requires ethical people. The magnitude and impact of our unethical problem has been widely realised that’s why there is an urgent need to address it in the new Constitution. </div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a recent study done by Twaweza, it was reported that in Dar es Salaam, one out of five residents pay bribes when seeking healthcare services in public facilities.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Soliciting or receiving bribes has become common among Tanzanians. This unethical tendency is one of the national catastrophes, yet it doesn’t feature among serious matters in most debates in the process of making the new Constitution. </div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In its 2012 East Africa Bribery Index, Transparency International (TI) identified ten prominent service rendering sectors which are leading in bribery.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sectors include, police, judiciary, city and local councils, land services, medical services, regional administration, educational institutions, registry and licensing services, utilities (water, electricity and postal services), and tax services.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The police and the judiciary ranked as the most bribery institutions in the country. However, it is important to highlight that the Police Force score was almost twice as much higher than that of the Judiciary.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">By Frederick Fussi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Votes are normally used to put our leaders on power, for members of parliament to acquire parliamentary seats and the head of state and government to acquire his statesmanship seat in the state house. This process ought to be free and fair but there are some circumstances that lead the incumbent politicians of the so said seats to manipulate the voice of votes and immorally plots on distorting the results of the votes intended to put in power accountable and responsible leaders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The manipulation of votes to distort the genuine results is what pushed me to write my experience and other oberseved experience on how nonviolent conflict worked to protect the voter’s votes in some constituencies during the 2010 General Elections in Tanzania. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Nonviolent conflict can be understood in various dimensions and circumstances in which it is aimed to be applied upon. For this case the nonviolent concept will be drawn from the definition provided by International Center on Nonviolent Conflict (ICNC). Thus nonviolent conflict is defined as a powerful way for people to fight for their rights, freedom, justice, self-determination and accountable government. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For this case, on protecting the votes we can view the nonviolent conflict as a powerful way that had worked immensely during the 2010 General Election more than any other times of multi-party democracy in Tanzania. For instance in constituencies like Ubungo, Ilemela, Nyamagana, </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Kahama, Arusha, Busanda and Tarime, voters decided to wage a nonviolent struggle to protect their votes against manipulations from the allegedly puppets of the ruling party and in some instances allegedly traitors of democracy within the electoral administration in Tanzania. (Refer to the news of the Citizen, on Tuesday, 02 November 2010 with a title, “Chaos reign as NEC delay poll results”)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The so called, chaos of elections are results of unreasonable use of excessive power by the state cohesive apparatus mostly uses police to intimidate the intension of voters to protect their votes against manipulations, and consequently distort the intension which primarily and genuinely is aimed to be nonviolent but ends in chaos as the state interfere with a weak argument of ensuring peace and order but surprisingly the nonviolent strategy normally co-exist within peace and order, and this had been observed not only in Tanzania but even other parts of the world!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The magnitude of the nonviolent conflict over protection of the votes had not been the same as compared to elections in 1995, 2000 and 2005 were few parliamentary seats were won by the opposition as the result of failure to wage a successful nonviolent conflict to protect the votes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It has been observed that at all constituencies where the opposition won the parliamentary seats excessive voters nonviolent conflict occurred. Perhaps, this is right strategy that if well prepared, planned, organized and effectively practiced during elections can be used by opposition to acquire even the post of head of the state and government if at all it has proven success to acquire more parliamentary seats. At areas where nonviolent conflict on protecting votes was not applied the opposition did not win as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is a sign and manifestation of the fact that there are great injustices done over the people’s rights to choose their preferred leaders, thus an agenda for free and fair election can bring together a powerful nonviolent struggle that can widely and countrywide promote true democracy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Based on the experience of opposition won constituencies at the 2010 General Elections, as we advocate for voters solidarity to protect their rights and obtain justice for the true free and fair election, a nonviolent conflict is the only solution and a right time strategy ahead to bring hope of peaceful power exchange in Tanzania. This is possible and it can be done, play your role as a responsible citizen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Miezi ya hivi karibuni ndugu Zito Kabwe akiwa kama mbunge na
mkereketwa wa masuala ya rushwa aliibua hoja ya ureshwaji ya mabilioni ya
Uswisi ambayo taarifa za awali za kichunguzi zinaonesha kuwa mabilioni hayo
yalipatikana kwa njia zisizo halali ikiwamo kula rushwa katika upitishwaji wa
zabuni serekalini na kuingia mikataba na wawekezaji kutoka nje ya nchi. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kufahamu jambo hili kwa kina unaweza kurejea hoja binafsi ya
Zito Kabwe aliyoiwasilisha bungeni tarehe 8 Novemba 2012 akitaka bunge liunde
Kamati maalumu ya uchunguzi ili iweze kubaini nani wanaomiliki mabilioni
yaliyofichwa katika mabenki nchini Uswisi na visiwa vingine kama New Jersey na
nchi za Uingereza, Ufaransa na kwingineko.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ikumbukwe kuwa suala la urejeshwaji wa mabilioni ya Uswisi
ama kwa Kitaalamu linavyojulikana kama (Asset Recovery) ni jambo geni hapa
nchini Tanzania. Hivyo linahitaji mjadala mpana wa kitaalamu ili kusaidia umma
wa Watanzania kulifahamu kwa undani na kwa wepesi zaidi.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Msingi wa hoja ya Zito pale bungeni ilikuwa ni kulitumia
bunge ambalo ni chombo cha wawakilishi kisheria kulitaka kufanya maamuzi ya
kuunda kamati maalumu ya Bunge itakayofanya uchunguzi na na hatimaye Bunge
kuielekeza serikali kuchukua hatua dhidi ya raia wa Tanzania walioficha fedha
na mali haramu nje ya nchi. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tunapofikia hatua bunge linatumika na kuombwa kuunda chombo
cha kufanya uchunguzi inadhihirishwa kuwa mifumo ya kiserikali ya kufanya
uchunguzi dhidi ya rushwa ina dosari, au haiminiki, ama haitimizi majukumu
yake, ama haina uwezo (lack of capacity) wa kulifuatilia suala hili ama taasisi
hizo zinaingiliwa uhuru wake na serikali ama serikali yenyewe kuwa ujumla
imekosa utashi wa kisiasa (Political will) kutaka fedha hizo zirejeshwe. Ukweli
huu unatokana na majibu ya Mwanasheria Mkuu wa Serikali bungeni baada ya Zito
kumaliza kuwasilisha hoja yake. Kufahamu undani wa majibu ya Mwanasheria Mkuu
wa serikali fuatilia taarifa za majadiliano ya bunge (Hansard) ya mkutano wa
tisa-kikao cha nane kilichofanyika tarehe 8 na 9 Novemba 2012.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Katika sehemu ya majibu ya Mwanasheria Mkuu wa serikali
alitoa taarifa juu ya hatua zilizochukuliwa na serikali kutaka kupata majina ya
raia wa Tanzania walioficha fedha nchini Uswisi huku akitumia udhaifu wa sheria
ya Uswisi kuonesha kuwa serikali ya Tanzania iliishia hapo na baada ya
kuzipatia taarifa hizo alizipeleka kwenye taasisi za ndani za kichunguzi
ikiwemo TAKUKURU na Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) ya Tanzania. Udhaifu wa
kisheria uliotumiwa na mwanasheria mkuu wa Serikali ni pale alipokuwa akinukuu
sheria ya Uswisi akisema<i> “</i></span><i><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Tukaambiwa
mamlaka ile inayofanana na</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">yangu haiwezi kuruhusu uvuaji yaani fishing
ya taarifa hizo kwa sababu hilo ni jambo ambalo</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></i><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><i>linahusu nchi nyingine hatuwezi kuwapeleka gerezani”</i>. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Aidha inatambulika kuwa majibu kama
haya aliyopewa Mwanasheria Mkuu wa Serikali ya Tanzania pia yamewahi kutolewa
kwa nchi nyingine kama Nigeria na Ufilipino ambazo kwa kuwa wao hakujali majibu
hayo ya serikali ya Uswisi na waliamua kufanya uchunguzi wa kina kupitia taarifa
zao za awali kama hizi zilizoibuliwa na Zito na hatimaye fedha zilizoibiwa
zilirejeshwa kwao. Mfano Ufilipino ilifanikiwa kurejesha Dola za kimarekani milioni
684 mwaka 2003 zilizoficha nchini Uswisi na aliyewahi kuwa Rais wa Ufilipino
Ndugu Ferdinand Marcos na Nigeria ilifanikiwa kurejesha Dola za Kimarekani
milioni 700 ambazo ni sehemu tu ya Dola Bilioni 4 zilizofichwa nje ya nchi na
aliyewahi kuwa Rais wa Nigeria, ndugu Sani Abacha. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sehemu ya hoja ya Zito inatoa taarifa kuwa jumla ya Dola za
Kimarekani Milioni 192 ambazo ni sawa na zaidi ya bilioni 314 za Kitanzania
ambazo zinasadikiwa kupatikana kwa njia za rushwa zimefichwa na raia wa
Tanzania katika mabenki nchini Uswisi. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hoja hiyo imesheheni taarifa nyingi za kichunguzi za awali
ikiwa ni pamoja na uhusiano kati ya pesa hizo na zabuni zilizowahi kufanywa na
serikali kati ya mwaka 2003 na 2008 ambapo inasadikiwa kuwa wanasiasa na
watendaji wa serikali “Political Exposed Personalities” walioitumikia serikali
katika kipindi hicho walionekana kutunza mabilioni katika akaunti zao nje ya
nchi. Uchunguzi wa pesa hizo ndio njia pekee ya kutambua kuwa pesa hizo ni halali
ama si halali na baadaye kufanikisha kuzirudisha nchini ili zitumike kwa
manufaa ya kijamii.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Urejeshwaji wa fedha haramu na mali za Watanzania
zilizopatikana kwa njia za rushwa hauwezi kufanikiwa pasipo kufanyika uchunguzi
wa kina ili kubaini Watanzania wenye pesa halali zilizofichwa katika mabenki nje
ya nchi na wale wasiokuwa na pesa halali ambazo kimsingi ziliibwa kwa njia ya
kupokea rushwa na wanasiasa na watendaji
wa serikali.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hatua tuliyopo sasa ni hatua za uchunguzi wa awali. Uchunguzi
wa awali uliofanywa mpaka sasa haujafanywa na serikali bali umefanywa na watu
binafsi (Private Individuals) wenye kuitakia mema Tanzania. Hoja hii ni hoja ya
Kitaifa na inapaswa kupewa msukumo wa kitaifa kwa wadau wengine amabao sio
sehemu ya serikali (Non state actors). <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Non state actors hasa asasi za kirai zinapaswa kuunganisha
nguvu ili kufanikisha hatua za awali za kiuchunguzi na hatimaye kuwaelimisha
wananchi juu ya sakata hili na kuinyima serikali usingizi kwa kuendelea
kuishawishi na kuisukuma serikali kujiingiza katika hatua zinazofuata ili hatua
stahiki zichukuliwe na fedha zilizoibiwa(Stollen Assets) zirejeshwe nchini. Kwa
kuwa serikali inayosubiri wananchi waipelekee majina ya Watanzania walioficha
mabilioni katika mabenki nje ya nchi ni serikali isiyoonesha nia ya dhati ya
kupambana na rushwa na ufisadi hivyo inapaswa kuamshwa usingizini na kuendelea
kuinyima usingizi kila inapoonesha dalili za kulala tena katika suala hili.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bunge kwa namna yake limehusika katika sakata hili la
urejeshwaji wa hayo mabilioni. Bunge lilitoa maazimio kuwa serikali ilishughulikie
suala hilo kwa njia zake. Hivyo bunge limejitoa kabisa katika sakati hili
wakati ambapo Serikali haioneshi utashi wa kisiasa katika kufanikisha hatua za
awali za kichunguzi ili kusaidia pesa hizo zirejeshwe. Serikali inafanya hivi kwa kuweka usiri katika
shughuli zake za kiuchunguzi lakini imejitega kwa ahadi ya Mwanasheria Mkuu wa
Serikali kutoa taarifa za uchunguzi huo katika Mkutano wa Kumi na moja.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ikumbukwe kuwa katika hoja hii Watanzania hawataki tu
urejeshwaji wa fedha za Uswisi bali kuna fedha katika nchi nyingine kama
Uingereza, Ufaransa, visiwa vya New Jersey, Dubai na kwingineko ambako fedha
zinazosadikiwa kupatikana kwa njia za rushwa zimefichwa na raia wa Tanzania
wengi wao wakiaminika kuwa wanasiasa waandamizi na watendaji wa Serikali
kuanzia mwaka 2003 mpaka 2010. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hivyo basi uchunguzi ndio njia pekee ya kufanikisha kubaini
na kurejesha mabilioni yote yalioibiwa na viongozi wa Kisiasa na watendaji wa
Serikali. Lakini hata hivyo bado tupo katika hatua za uchunguzi wa awali ambao hufanikishwa na watoa taarifa
mbalimbali za masuala ya inteligensia ya fedha (Financial Intelligence) na kujengewa
hoja chokonozi na wachambuzi wa masuala kama tunavyofanya hapa. Hatua hii ni
muhimu sana hasa katika kujenga uelewa kwa umma na kwa serikali kuwa kuwa jambo
hili la mchakato wa kurejesha “Stollen Assets” ni jambo jipya nchini.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taasisi ya nchini Uswisi, Besel Institute on Governance
kupitia kituo chake cha urejeshaji wa fedha zilizoibiwa(International Centre
for Asset Recovery) inatoa msaada wa kujenga uwezo na kutoa elimu zaidi juu ya
hatua kwa hatua mpaka kufanikisha urejeshaji wa fedha zilizoibiwa. Kwa mujibu
wa taasisi hiyo ambayo ina uzoefu na wataalamu waliobobea katika fani ya
urejeshaji wa pesa zilizoibiwa inaelezea hatua zaidi za kufuatwa ilikiwa ni
pamoja na uchunguzi wa awali (Pre-Investigation), Uchunguzi wenyewe
(Investigation), Kupeleka kesi mahakamani ili haki ipatikane(Prosecution) na
mwisho urejeshwaji wa fedha zilizoibiwa (Repatriation of stolen Assets).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hatua tuliyopo sisi hapa nchini petu Tanzania ni hatua ya
kwanza kabisa ambayo ni ya uchunguzi wa awali. Uchunguzi huu mara nyingi
haufanywi na serikali bali hufanywa na raia wenye kukereketwa na ufisadi, wizi
wa mali za umma, dhuluma na wasiopenda utawala wa rushwa. Mpaka sasa hatua hii
hatujaifanyia haki kwa kuwa watu binafsi (Individuals) na asasi za kiraia hawajajikita
katika kutaka kulifahamu suala hili kwa undani, kulifanyia uchambuzi na
uchunguzi vilevile ili kuendelea kujenga hoja zitakazoilazimisha serikali
kuingia yenyewe pasipo kutarajia katika hatua ya pili za zote zinazofuata.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hatua hii ya awali ya uchunguzi inahitaji mshikamano wa
kudumu (Sustainable Initiative) ili kuhamia (transition) katika hatua
zinazofuata. Hatua hii inahusisha pia kutambua majina ya raia wa Tanzania wenye
akaunti zinazotunza mabilioni nje ya nchi. Pia inahusishwa ukusanyaji wa
taarifa za fedha za kiintelijensia (intelligence gathering). Ukusanyaji wa
taarifa hizi utasaidia waandishi wa habari na wachambuzi wa masuala kuandika
makala na habari za kichunguzi za kutosha na hatimaye kutengeneza chanzo huru
cha taarifa (Open source database). Hili likifanikiwa serikali itake isitake
italazimika kuingia yenyewe katika hatua zinazofuata pamoja na kuwa inadai kuwa
imeshaanza uchunguzi wake. Katika makala
ijayo tutachambua kwa kina hatua zinazofuata. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

infrastructure gives us more strength to re-organize ourselves to fight the
increased corruption in Tanzania public health. With a recent issued study by
twaweza it is estimated that one out five residents of Dar es Salaam pay bribe
when they access public health facilities. Yet very few of them report (about
11 percent as per East Africa Bribery Index, 2012) to anti-corruption
authorities in the country where most of them believe that even if they report
nothing will be done to work on their reported corruption incidents.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

got challenged especially over its strategies that engage grass root citizen to
end corruption. One of the challenges that were obtained from the 3<sup>rd</sup>
GYAC breakout sessions on African region is that, we need to work on changing
the mind-set of some people in Africa and Tanzania in particular who believe
bribery or corruption is way of life in Africa and nothing could change it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Pamoja na hayo hakuna tafiti zinazojishughulisha kusema hasa matumizi ya internet yameisaidiaje Tanzania katika nyanja mbalimbali za kimaendeleo mintarifu hili la kuandika Katiba Mpya ya Tanzania. Lakini hapana shaka yapo mabadiliko yanayotokana na matumizi hayo ya internet hapa nchini. Pia tunaweza kukusudia kuitumia internet/mitandao ya kijamii kuandika katiba Mpya ya Tanzania.</div>

Matumizi ya internet hapa nchini yamejikita katika kutuma na kupokea barua pepe hasa katika maofisi makubwa (iwe ni serikalini ama makampuni binafsi) na baadhi ya wafanyabiashara wakubwa na wadogo. Sehemu inyobakia ya watumiaji wa internet ni mahususi kwa ajili ya mawasiliano ya tovuti na blogu ikiwa ni pamoja na matumizi wa mitandao ya kijamii kama Facebook, Skype, Twitter na Youtube.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">

Matumizi ya mitandao ya kijamii ya Facebook, Skype, Twitter na YouTube siku za hivi karibuni yamekithiri sana miongoni mwa vijana hapa nchini, kati ya mitandao hiyo inayooonekana kupendwa zaidi ama kutumiwa na watu wengi ama kuvutia watumiaji wengi kupashana habari ni mtandao wa Facebook. Twitter inaonekana kuvutia vijana wachache ambao kwa maoni yangu wanaonekana kuwa makini (serious minded people).Leo sitazungumzia twitter sana bali facebook.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">

Ufundi wa kutumia Facebook na Twitter kuweka ujumbe unatofautiana na hii inaweza ikawa sababu kubwa ya kwanini watumiaji wengi wa Facebook hawapendelei kutumia Twitter. Katika Facebook utatakiwa kuweka ujumbe kwa kadiri ya wingi wa maneno yako lakini hali kwa Twitter ni tofauti sana, utatakiwa kuweka ujumbe mfupi, unaoleweka na unapewa nafasi ndogo kuuwasilisha ujumbe wako kwa umakini wa hali ya juu.</div>

Matumizi ya Skype na YouTube mara nyingi huonekana kutumiwa aidha na watu walioko ng’ambo ya nchi kuwasiliana na ndugu zao na marafiki kwa kupitia mawasiliano ya sauti ama mawasiliano ya video fupi (video clip). Matumizi ya mitandao hii miwili hapa nchini kwa sasa haijashika kasi ukilinganisha na nchi za jirani kama Kenya, Uganda na Afrika ya Kusini.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">

Sehemu kubwa ya matumizi ya mtandao wa Facebook kwa mfano hayajaonekana kuwa ya kimalengo.(Objective or rational). Matumizi hayo kwa hapa Tanzania ni kama sehemu ya kusalimiana na marafaki, kutaniana na kujenga mahusiano ambayo hata hivyo siyo ya msingi sana.Sehemu kubwa ya mijadala ya facebook kwa sasa ni mizaha tupu!Hali hii inatilia mashaka juu ya aina ya watu Watakoishi Tanzania ya kesho.</div>

Ikiwa hii pekee haitoshi, huenda Watanzania watakuwa wamelala usingizi au ni ujinga wa kutojua namna bora ya kuleta maendeleo na mabadiliko ya haraka kupitia mitandao hii ya kijamii kama ilivyoonekana kwa baadhi ya nchi za Kaskazini mwa Afrika kama Tunisia na Misri.</div>

Mabadiliko na maendeleo ya matumizi ya mitandao hii ya kijamii hasa Facebook inabidi yaanze kuonekana sasa. Nimezungumzia kuwa matumizi ya hivi sasa hayapo objective/rational. Nia yangu nitumie mfano rahisi wa uhitaji wa</div>

Katiba Mpya ya Tanzania na kuelezea namna bora ya matumizi ya Mitandao ya kijamii ambayo ni objective/rational. Na endapo yakieleweka na kutumiwa na vijana wote kwa idadi yao kwa wale wanaotumia Facebook wanaweza kuwahamasisha na idadi ya vijana wasio watumiaji kwa pamoja kuandika katiba mpya kutokea Facebook.</div>

Kupita mitandao ya kijamii hapa nazungumzia Facebook, vijana wanaweza kuubadilisha mchezo, badala ya mjadala na taratibu za kuandikwa kwa katiba Mpya kusimamiwa na sheria ambayo ilizua zengwe katika kujadiliwa kwakwe mpaka kupitishwa kwake na </div>

kwa kuwa wanatumia muda mwingi Facebook wakaamua kuitumia facebook kujadili mambo wanayotaka/wanayodhani kuwa ni muhimu yawepo ndani ya katiba mpya.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">

Tume imepewa mamlaka ya kisheria kuandika nakala ya kwanza(first draft) ya Katiba ili ipelekwe katika Constituent Assembly (Bunge Maalumu la Kikatiba) ijadiliwe na baadaye ipitishwe na Wananchi kwa njia ya kura ya maoni(Referendum).</div>

Kimsingi, facebook inaweza kutumiwa na vijana na kuishawishi tume badala ya kutumia mabilioni ya shilingi kuzunguka nchi nzima kukusanya maoni basi waanze kukusanya maoni kwa njia ya mitandao ya kijamii endapo vijana wenyewe tunaotumia mitandao hii tutakuwa serious (makini). Uwezekano huo ni mkubwa. Kupita mijadala mikali ya facebook tunaweza kuishawishi Tume ya Jaji Warioba kufuatilia na kukusanya maoni yetu, hapana shaka tutaandika historia kwa katiba yetu kuandikwa kutokana na matumizi ya teknolojia ya habari na mawasiliano(TEHAMA).</div>

Leo hii wanaopata fursa ya kwenda katika mikutano ya Tume kutoa maoni ni wachache sana ukilinganisha na wale wanaoingia Facebook kwa siku moja ambapo Facebook inakadiriwa kuwa na watumiaji 549,900 hapa Tanzania (hii ni kwa mujibu wa takwimu za matumizi ya Facebook Tanzania: http://www.socialbakers.com/facebook-statistics/tanzania).</div>

Asilimia 1.31 ya Watanzania wote hutumia Facebook, kati ya hao takribani asilimia 81.35 ya watumiaji wote hao wanaitumia facebook kwa wingi zaidi. Hii wataalamu hiita (Penetration of online Popuation). Hii maana yake ni kuwa hiyo asilimia 1.31 ya watumiaji wote wa facebook hapa Tanzania wanatumia muda wao mwingi sana wakiwa ndani ya mtandao huu wa facebook. Hawa ni watu wanaojua kusoma na kuandika, wanaouwezo mzuri wa kufikiria ila ni wavivu kutambua fursa ya kuitumia facebook kushinikiza mabadiliko na mabadiliko hapa nazungumzia kaundika katiba mpya kupitia Facebook.</div>

Sasa, shinikizo la mabadiliko ya Watanzania kupita facebook ndio pengine njia pekee ya kuisaidia Tume ya Jaji Warioba na pengine kuubadilisha mchezo wa Tume badala ya wao kuwafuata wananchi kule walipo na kuishia kuwasilikiza wananchi wasiozidi 100 kwa siku kwa nini wasije Facebook kuwasilikilza zaidi ya Watanzania laki 5 wanaotaka katiba yao iweje?

Rai yangu kwa leo ni kuwa tunaweza kuandika Katiba Mpya kupitia Facebook endapo tukaongeza umakini na kupanua mawazo yetu katika matumizi yetu ya facebook kwa siku. Wajanjwa wachache wamefanya mbinu za kutengeza utaratibu wa Tume kukusanya maoni wakijua kuwa sisi ni wavivu kupanga foloni za kusubiria kuongea wakati tume ikija, wakati mwingine mijadala yenyewe inakuwa boring, lakini tukitumia facebook ama mitandao mingine ya kijamii hatuhitaji kupanga foleni ya kusubiri kuongea mbele ya makamishna wa tume!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">

Mkakati wa sasa wa tume ya Jaji Warioba, pamoja na kuwa utaonekana ndio njia muafaka ya kuanza mchakato wa kuandika katiba Mpya bado vijana ambao ndio watumiaji wakubwa wa Mitandao ya Kijamii tunaweza kuitumia kubadilisha historia ya nchi yetu.</div>

Katika toleo lijalo nitaelezea njia madhubuti za kutumia Facebook na mitandao mingine ya kijamii kuandika Katiba Mpya badala ya kutegemea Tume ya jaji Warioba ambayo kimsingi haina uwezo wa kufikia kila mwananchi ili atoe maoni yake. Ni rahisi kufanya ushawishi kutumia nyenzo hii.</div>

Katiba Mpya lazima tuiandike wenyewe, tumenyanyasika vya kutosha, tumenyonywa vya kutoshwa, sasa ni wakati wa mabadiliko ya kweli. Harakati ziendelee na njia pekee ya kuleta mabadiliko ni kutumia mtaji wetu wa akili ndani ya kundi kubwa la vijana wa sasa hapa kwetu Tanzania.</div>

Asasi ya Dira ya Vijana nchini, (TYVA-Tanzania Youth Vision Association) Leo 26 Mei 2012 imefanya mjadala wa vijana hapa Arusha wenye lengo la kukusanya maoni ya vijana ili yaingizwe katika Katiba Mpya ya Tanzania. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mada ya Mjadala huu inasema kuwa "Vijana na tunayoyataka ndani ya katiba mpya ya Tanzania". Vijana wanatoa maoni yao katika maeneo takribani kumi, ikiwemo, Baraza Huru la Taifa la Vijana, Ajira, Elimu, Afya, Michezo na Utamaduni, Ushiriki wa Vijana, Utawala Bora, Uchumi wa mtu mmoja mmoja, Vijana wenye ulemavu na Diplomasia ya Tanzania. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kwa kuwa sikuwepo hapo ukumbini wakati mjada unaendelea, na kama kijana ninawajibika pengeni kusema nini maoni yangu. Kwa leo ningependa nitoe maoni yangu katika eneo la Ajira na namna ninavyotaka kama Mtanzania suala la ajira lilindweje na Katiba Mpya tunayoitarajia hivi karibuni. Maoni juu ya maeneo mengine nitaendelea kujatoa katika mijadala ijayo, pia kupitia safu hii. Leo kwa ufupi sana niseme hivi;-</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tatazo lilipo sera yetu ya viwanda ni butu sana katika kusimamia ajira hapa nchini. Nchi haina viwanda vya ndani vya kutosha kuweza kuzalisha ajira nyingi kwa idadi kubwa ya wananchi wa kawaida. Sehemu kubwa ya ajira leo Tanzania ambapo kila mwaka nchi inapokea graduates 700,000 katika soko la Ajira, ambapo wengi wao wanategemea kufanya the so called White Colar Jobs, sehemu kubwa ya wananchi inayobakia ni wale wasiokuwa na ujuzi ama wanaujuzi usiowatosheleza kupata kazi za ofisini.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hawa ndio ilibidi Viwanda vya uzalishaji viwaajiri.Lakini hatuna viwanda(Semi Processing, Light and Heavy Industries) huku ukosefu wa ajira ukiendelea kuwa juu kwa asilimia 11 na ushehe! Tunataka katiba mpya iilazimishe nchi kuwa na uchumi unaoleweka na utakao leta ajira kwa usawa. Pia kwa kuanzia sera ya Viwanda iangaliwe upya ili iandane na uwiano wa idadi ya nguvu kazi ya Taifa ambayo wengi wao ni vijana ambao ni 65% of labour force ambayo hata hivyo haitumiki yote kwa kuwa Ajira hamna!</div>

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Je vijana wana ajenda katika mchakato wa uandishi wa Katiba mpya? Kuna hoja gani zinazoweza kuwasukuma kuona ulazima, uhalali na utayari wa mchakato huo sasa zaidi kuliko kipindi kingine chochote? Nitachambua!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Ushiriki wa vijana katika mchakato wa uandishi wa katiba mpya ya Tanzania unapaswa kuzingatia mambo makuu matatu. Jambo la Kwanza ni kuwa sio tu ushiriki wa vijana katika hili isipokuwa vijana wanapaswa kuwa na ushiriki wa kimkakati. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Jambo la pili ni kuwa ushiriki wa vijana katika mchakato huu unazingatia ukweli kuwa tangu kuundwa kwa Taifa hili la Tanzania, licha ya kuwa na katiba tano kwa vipindi tofauti lakini hatujawahi kuandika katiba mpya yenye kukusanya maoni na mahitaji toka kwa wananchi (vijana wakiwemo) hivyo huu ndio wakati muafaka wa kubadilisha historia ya Taifa hili.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Jambo la tatu ni kuwa,japokuwa jukumu la uandishi wa katiba mpya ni la makundi yote katika jamii na kwa upana wake linahusu vijana wa sasa lakini tusitegemee kuneemeka sana na Katiba hii isipokuwa tu kama uandishi wake utalenga zaidi kunufaisha vizazi vya sasa na vijavyo.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mambo haya matatu kwa upana wake ndio muhimu sana katika kuelezea ulazima, uhalali na utayari wa uwepo wa ajenda ya vijana katika mchakato wa Katiba mpya.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Msingi wa ajenda ya vijana haupaswi kuangalia mahitaji ya sasa ya vijana tu bali uangalie mahitaji ya muda mrefu ya Taifa hili bila kusahau maboresho ya katiba ya sasa ambayo hayategemei sana na yasingesubiri uwepo wa Katiba mpya kwani kuna namna na taratibu ambazo zinauwezo wa kufatwa kufanya maboresho hayo.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Uhalali wa ushiriki wa vijana katika uandishi wa Katiba mpya haujengwi na dhana kwamba lazima vijana washiriki ati kwa kuwa wao ni wengi kwa idadi ukilinganisha na makundi mengine mfano wazee na watu wazima. La hasha!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Uhalali wa ushiriki wa vijana katika uandikwaji wa katiba mpya utajengwa na utayari wa vijana katika kuainisha na kuweka bayana mtazamo wao juu ya maendeleo endelevu.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mkakati wa ushiriki wa vijana unapaswa kuweka bayana ajenda ya vijana kwa Tanzania ya sasa na ile ijayo. Tanzania ambayo inatamaniwa na kundi la vijana lakini sambamba na makundi mengine yote. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Lakini yote yatafaulu ikiwa vijana watafaulu kuzungumza lugha moja ya kimaendeleo katika kusaidia kufikia utambuzi wa mambo ya msingi ya kuwekwa katika Katiba mpya.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mkakati wa ushiriki wa vijana unatakiwa kuzingatia mabadiliko chanya ya moja kwa moja bila kutazamia faida za haraka haraka. Kwa mfano mabadiliko ya moja kwa moja ni yale yatakayoleta tumaini jipya katika fursa sawa ya utoaji wa elimu kwa kila mtanzania kisheria. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Katiba mpya itakuwa jibu pale ambapo Katiba hiyo itahakikisha elimu inatoa mwanga kwa watanzania kutoka katika giza nene la ujinga tofauti na ilivyo hivi sasa. Elimu ambayo itatoa suluhu kwa zaidi ya vizazi vinne vijavyo vya watanzania tofauti na hali ilivyo hivi sasa.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

This project is managed by an experienced youth-led project leader, innovative and visionary changemaker <b>Frederick Fussi</b> with a group of other 6 vibrant youth volunteers. Frederick Fussi is also a member of GYAC based in Dar es Salaam Tanzania.<br />
<br />
In order to have a corruption free community and in deed improving access to quality healthcare services, the project intents to use its valuable resources through the concept/method of anti-corruption journalism to mobilize community members in the fighting against petty corruption in healthcare service provision. The project is supported by <b>British Council-Global Change Maker (BC-GCM)</b> and <b>World Bank Institute (WBI).</b><br />
<br />
The project will have three major activities each with several sub-activities. The <b>first major activity</b> is to train at least 20 young journalists on investigative journalism against corruption in health services delivery. Young journalists will be trained to conduct independent, non-offensive and professional investigative journalism on corruption in health sector. The basic emphasize will be put on health but not ignoring provision of social services such as education, water and electricity.<br />
<br />
<b>The second major activity</b> is to establish the website to report specifically on investigative journalism against corruption in health sector. The website will be the gateway that addresses corruption in an online basis. The website will be a useful tool that provide factual situation on petty corruption in health sector for in rural and urban centers.<br />
<br />
<b>The third major activity</b> is to launch the sms tool for citizen reporting on corruption issues through a website. The sms tool is based on the concept of <b>U-report rapid sms.</b> The tool will be used by the citizen to report on any corruption incidents as they attempt to get social services.<br />
<br />
The results of this project are as such as <b>increased</b> <b>corruption-free access</b> to quality healthcare services as the effect of anti-corruption journalism on healthcare. <b>The second result</b> is increased trend of community online-reportedly issues, discussed and problem solving on petty corruption in healthcare service provision. <b>The third result is to have increased</b> access to information among youth, knowledge, and appropriate skills in the fight against petty corruption for improvements of healthcare services in rural and urban centers at large.<br />
<br />
The population in urban centers such as Dar es Salaam and Coast Region is made up of more than 50 per cent of youth whose age category varies from 18-35 years. Thus youth makes a composition of large percentage of beneficiaries of healthcare services. The trend of petty corruption in accessing healthcare services makes youth vulnerable. To do away from this risk the project intents to reach directly more than 200 youth and 1000 Health services clients while reaching more than 1.5 million people through the use of internet<br />

The book stipulates in one its scriptures that “though shall not labour in vain.”<br />
<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">For all those who are hard workers in their working places could not be distinguished with their workmates who are non hard workers by using the same payroll at the end of the month. For good HR managers could add some incentives to those hard workers, and the non hard workers having realized their counterparts gained some incentive it would be a pinch on them but in deed a lesson learnt to increase efforts for delivering desired outputs of the employer.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">The doctrine of “though shall not labour in vain” requires that all people who works should get in turn to what they have invested during their eight (8) hours in work. It would rather be a question to an incentive whether it should be issued with an indicator parallel to the quantifiable and quality deliverables outputs of the work done. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">The increasingly trend of “business as usual” in NGOs and Government departments and ministries over the sitting allowances is a result of two great phenomena which requires a special attention to all the questions raised by Graff in his article. The two phenomena include <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">income poverty</b> of NGO workers, government officials and whosoever interested to the sitting allowance without exerting his abilities and potential to the outputs of the work done in the workshop. Many allowance seekers lives hard and poor life a factor which is known but not given attention by allowance givers. A person who does not have hunger for food, failure to pay her electricity bills, unclean water, discontent health services, failure to pay school fees for his kids, lives a poor house in one of the suburbs in Dar es Salaam can not be tempted to run for the sitting allowance. If you are lucky to trace the lives of all allowance seekers/receivers you will find out miserable untold stories of their really situation. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">The second phenomenon is the habit of those whose monthly income does not bother their living standards. They live in good housing, clean water, take her kinds to study abroad, can afford a lavish spending in an excellent famous hospital in town which a lowly income earner can not afford and will end up dying in a queue at Mwananyamala hospital. These kinds of people have just developed a culture of demanding a sitting allowance. A good example of these people are those who when enter into their first sitting in parliament (2005) demands a debate for the increase of their salaries up to 12 million at which a poor teacher in Mbozi municipal districts only receive 120,000 take home.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">As I can put my insights on some of Graff quotes such as “In order to create good participation “attendance allowances" were introduced with the aim of enticing officials’ local project staff and even beneficiaries to meetings and workshops”. I’m of an opinion that the intention was to create a good participation and the approach became to introduce the attendance allowance, which logically it’s a right approach but ended up yielding a different output and yet resulted to other problem. The earlier thinker of the problem and the approach to solve it contributed a lot to save the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">income poverty people</b> without even thinking a combined approach that would necessitate the merging of two problems, the unforeseen problem (income poverty people) and the genuine problem of the project.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">Let me wind up with few remarks, there is a great need of reviewing our “problem solving thinking” in our projects. The common approach of meetings and workshops which involves allowances has enormously increased the level of our poverty in terms of thoughts. We may be addressing problems which do not exist in many of our projects in NGOs and the Government as well. Take an example of these two issues here in the NGO sector and Government, “Tanzanian NGO workers in a popular sector (HIV, gender, microfinance, etc.) can easily double or triple their salary just by attending these meetings and” In the financial year 2008/2009 there was an allocation of a shocking 59% of the total payroll to benefits (nearly 380 million U.S. dollars) and a large part of this was spent on travel and daily allowances. These two examples demonstrate the really situation of income poverty among different categories of income earners in the country. Sarcastically the two quotes have been encrypted. If I would be asked to unearth the quotes I would come up with only one sentence, i.e majority of allowance seekers in workshops and seminars are simply income poverty people, something more than the funding of the projects should be done.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />

Hali ambayo inawakumba zaidi vijana ambao wanahodhi asilimia kubwa ya tegemeo katika nguvukazi ya Taifa kwa zaidi ya asilimia 65.<br />
<br />
Vijana hawa ambao wanapita katika mifumo ya kuwajenga kitaaluma na fani bado wanakuwa wahanga wakubwa wa kadhia hii ya ukosefu wa fursa za kuajiriwa wala kujiajiri.<strong> </strong>Hali ambayo ni tete kwani si tu kurudhisha nyuma jitihada za vijana hawa kujiletea maendeleo yao binafsi bali pia kwa kiasi kikubwa inalirudisha nyuma Taifa zima.<br />
<br />
Takwimu za ukosefu wa ajira za vijana za asilimia takribani 11 tofauti hata na matarajio ya MKUKUTA ambao ulipanga kushusha ukosefu wa ajira mpaka asilimia 6.9 mnamo mwaka jana, 2010. Licha ya takwimu hizo, bado hazitoi picha ya kutosha ya uhalisia wa hali tete ya ukosefu wa ajira na fursa za uzalishaji pato kwani hali ya sasa na ongezeko la wahitimu toka vyuo vya ufundi na vya elimu ya juu imeongezeka maradufu katika miaka ya hivi karibuni.<br />
<br />
Lakini utete unaweza kudhihirika pia kwa mujibu wa takwimu za utafiti wa nguvukazi na ajira <em>(ILFS)</em> unaodhihirisha ongezeko la watu takribani 760,000 katika soko la ajira kwa kila mwaka ambapo kati yao ni 40,000 tu ndiyo wanapata ajira kila mwaka ikiacha zaidi ya watu 740,000 bila ajira. Naamini utafiti wa hali ya nguvukazi na ajira <em>(ILFS)</em> ukifanywa mwaka huu ama ujao utatoa majibu yenye kuonyesha hali kuwa mbaya zaidi tofauti na takwimu hizo zilizopatikana mnamo mwaka 2001.<br />
<br />
Ni kweli nchi nyingi duniani zinakumbwa na kadhia hii ya ukosefu wa ajira. Lakini kila nchi inavyolishughulikia tatizo hili ndipo utofauti na upekee huonekana. Mathalani vijana wa nchi za Misri, Tunisia hivi karibuni walivyolichukulia tatizo la ukosefu wa ajira na kukithiri kwa hali ngumu katika maisha yao inatoa upekee kwani vijana hao wameweza kumudu kuondosha utawala ambao haukuwa ukionyesha jitihada za kutosha kivitendo kulishughulikia tatizo hilo.<br />
<br />
Nchi za ulaya mathalani Ujerumani, zimekuwa pia na tatizo hili lakini jitihada zao za kuhakikisha mafunzo ya kujiajiri na kuweka mifumo ya kitaasisi na kiuwezeshaji kwa vijana hawa inatoa tumaini na upekee wa jinsi nchi inavyojitahidi katika kupambana na hali ngumu ya vijana wanaokosa ajira ama fursa za kujiajiri.<br />
<br />
Uwepo wa pensheni kwa wasio na ajira zinazotolewa katika nchi hizo nyingi za ulaya unasaidia kupunguza makali ya maisha kwa vijana wasio na ajira ama pato katika kipindi chao cha mpito mpaka watakapo pata fursa za kushiriki katika uzalishaji mali iwe kwa kuajiriwa ama kujiajiri.<br />
<br />
Ukimya wa vijana wa kitanzania haimaanishi wao hawaguswi na utete wa ukosefu wa ajira, lah hasha!<br />
<br />
Wala ukimya huu wa vijana nchini Tanzania haimaanishi hawatafakari namna ya wao kujikwamua kutoka katika hali ya ukosefu wa fursa za kuzalisha pato lao. Ukimya huu haumaanishi vijana hawatathmini jitihada za serikali pamoja na wadau katika kusaidia kupunguza makali ya tatizo hili.<br />
<br />
Hakika vijana wanaona na wanafikiri. Vijana hawa ambao wengi ni wasomi toka vyuo vya ufundi na elimu ya juu wanauwezo wa kuchambua baina ya kauli tupu zidi ya utendaji wa kauli hizo.<br />
<br />
Ikumbukwe si vijana tu katika kuliangalia na kuguswa na athari za ukosefu wa ajira na fursa za uzalishaji wa pato, bali jamii nzima inayowazunguka vijana hawa mathalani wazazi wa vijana ambao wamegharamika katika kuwalea na kuwasomesha vijana hawa wanaumia kila uchao wanapo shuhudia juhudi zao zinagota kwa vijana kukaa majumbani miaka kwa miaka wakisaka ajira ama fursa za kujiajiri.<br />
<br />
Najua wapo baadhi ya viongozi au wananchi wanaweza kukimbilia kutoa majibu mepesi katika kadhia hii tete kuwa ni ukosefu wa ari kwa vijana katika kujituma na kujiajiri. Si rahisi kama utamkaji wa matamshi hayo!Kwani hakika hata kwa wenye utashi wa kujiajiri ama hata wale wenye utashi wa kufanya kazi kwa kujitolea wanakubwa na changamoto nyingi sana zinazowakwamisha. <em>(changamoto hizi ni nyingi nitazichambua katika makala zijazo)</em><br />
<br />
Naamini endapo kuna utashi madhubuti wa kulishughulikia tatizo la ukosefu wa ajira na uzalishaji pato kwa vijana njia na mbinu zipo nyingi. Njia na mbinu hizi hazikomei kwa mafunzo ya ujasiliamali kama wengi hukimbilia ama mabadiliko ya kimitaala ya elimu tu bali zapaswa ziende zaidi, mathalani uboreshwaji wa sekta kama sekta za kilimo, utalii, viwanda na biashara ambazo kwa kiasi kikubwa zitazaa matunda ya kupokea vijana wengi zaidi na kusaidia wao kuweza kuzalisha pato lao na kwa Taifa kila uchao.<br />
<br />
Ni rahisi sana, unaweza jionea kwa uendeshwaji goi goi wa sekta ya miundo mbinu hususan shirika la ndege la Taifa<em>(ATCL) </em>au shirika la reli <em>(TRL)</em> lilivyo na athari hasi kwa ajira nchini. Endapo mashirika haya mawili yangeweza kuhakikishwa yanaendeshwa kwa ufanisi na weledi wa hali ya juu yangeweza kuchochea ongezeko kubwa la ajira nchini na kusaidia ukuaji wa pato la mtu mmoja mmoja hususan kwa vijana wetu ambao wanahitimu toka katika vyuo kadha wa kadha nchini na hata wengine toka nje ya nchi.<br />
<br />
Ndiyo mantiki ya Hayati Mwl. Nyerere enzi za uongozi wake katika awamu ya kwanza, licha ya jitihada nyingi za kuhakikisha huduma za kijamii mathalani upatikanaji wa elimu kwa ngazi zote tangu awali hadi ile ya watu wazima. Alihakikisha anaimarisha sekta za kilimo na viwanda pasi kusahau miundo mbinu kwa kuimarisha sekta hizi na nyingine kivitendo na si kuishia sera na mipango mitamu mitamu pasi utekelezaji madhubuti.<br />
<br />
Naamini endapo kweli tukiwa tunatambua nguvu, tathmani na mchango wa vijana mathalani uliotolewa katika kipindi cha chaguzi zetu nchini kama uchaguzi mkuu uliopita wa mwaka jana, 2010. Basi viongozi na watumishi wa umma walio madarakani hawana budi kukosa usingizi ama starehe kwa kuhakikisha utatuzi wa kudumu wa ukosefu wa ajira na fursa pana za kujiajiri kwa vijana unafikiwa.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Tanzania experienced the escalation of terrorism in 1998 when the group believed to be a terrorist launched a series of twin attack in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi Kenya at nearly the same hours. It will be remembered in history that Tanzania had experienced such an attack which primarily targeted the U.S embassy in Dar es Salaam.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Among the 1998 terrorist attack victims there were several Tanzanians who lost their lives as the effect of that attack. Surprisingly enough the attack was launched in an African country where the U.S embassy was just located as a diplomatic mission.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The international political analyst should not only analyze the terrorist attack but rather stick to why the attack was launched in an African country. Let alone the fact that the U.S also in American land experienced the September 11 terrorist attack. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Is the U.S a subject in terrorism or it depends on who claims to be the terrorist, attacking whom and where in which land? In the memories of the most escalating and terrifying terrorist attack the history can not forget the September 11 attack due to it’s magnitude, scope and the pre-targeted areas which were expected to receive the shock of the attacks in the U.S like Pentagon and the U.S white house.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Analyzing the fact that terrorism being launched in an African land makes the phenomena to be worldwide due to several attacks in Africa, Asia, Middle East, Europe and America. With this perspective terrorism can be looked as the world menace. My concern as the political analyst is the attack being launched in an African country or countries with the element of the myth operating underneath to back up the attacks.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The region of East Africa has become prone to the attacks of terrorism. Accusations being made against the militia groups like Al-Shabab which is believed to have close relations with the famously worldwide known terrorist group Al-Qaeda. The international relations and political analysts several times when describe their views on terrorism there is a myth that the launch of attacks is closely related the “beliefs”. The beliefs described are closely related to a certain religion whose the groups of terrorist are claimed to be believers of. <span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Uganda during the season of world cup on 11<sup>th</sup> July 2010 experienced the launch of a very merciless terrorist attack which lost the lives of 76 innocent people. Many of these people belonged to an African land “Uganda”. That attack made the region of East African being a prone of terrorist attacks after the twin blast of 1998 in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">On 21<sup>st</sup> December 2010 it has been reported in several media houses like BBC –Swahili that terrorist launched the attack in Nairobi-Kenya in a bus named Kampala Coach which was transporting civilians from Nairobi to Kampala. The bus contained innocent people who some believed to be Kenyans and Ugandans, citizens of the East African region.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The region of East Africa is now becoming a home of unresolved terrorist attacks something which gives much tension to cohesive apparatus and threatens the safety in the region. The efforts of police in this region have been much put into “intelligence for prevention” of further attacks.<span> </span>If the attacks are launched behind the so said myth, the intelligence for prevention can not be the everlasting solution toward the fight against terrorism. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The security of the region is threatened. The police and all security forces in the region needs an in-depth thinking toward the everlasting solution towards terrorism. If the myth can be testified to be true then war against terrorism is yet to end and people in the region should be worried that the attacks will become popular and gain speed in the region. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The Al-Shabab and Al-Qaeda are believed to be every where in the region. Bad enough several Tanzanians have been accused to be involved in the groups such as Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani who was found guilty in Manhattan Federal Court of conspiring in the 1998 destruction of United States embassies in the East Africa resulting to death. Mr. Ghailani will face the life imprisonment in the US scheduled to start on 25<sup>th</sup> January, 2011. <span> </span>This was according to the public information issued by the court to Mr.Ghailani’s attorneys chamber in the U.S</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The Uganda attack in July 2010 was believed to be launched by Al-Shabab where one Tanzanian was arrested in Arusha accused to be involved in that attack. This news was reported by Mwananchi and the Guardian dailies simultaneously on 13<sup>th</sup> September 2010. Mwananchi with the heading “<i><span>Mtuhumiwa mabomu ya Uganda anaswa” (</span></i><span>The suspect of Uganda terrorist bombs arrested), whilst the Guardian titled the story as <i>“Man held in Arusha over Kampala blasts”</i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The security forces need to think twice when waging a war against the suspects and terrorism per se. As the fast-tracking of East African Political Federation is at hand the political leaders in the region should be cautioned on the ongoing trend of terrorist attack in the region. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">With the historical view of terrorism in the region, after the 1998 attacks, Uganda’s world cup July attacks then Tanzania could be likely to receive another terrorist attack if some of the Tanzanians are accused to be involved in the movement and yet the question of the prevailing myth is not perfectly addressed in its naked perspective of reality.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">It is difficult to fight terrorism due to fact that it involves the people we leave with whose part of the beliefs they believe we sometimes share together. The question of whether the myth can be scientifically brought into reality poses a challenge to academicians and intellectuals to research on. Terrorism as any social-political threat needs to be brought into an end. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">All actors be it police force, military forces, national and international community waging war against terrorism in the region should put their efforts in exploring the causes of the terrorism rather than wasting resources in fighting against its effects such as terrorist suspects. Taking the suspects alone to the courts of law is not a long-lasting solution. East African Community should seek the best alternative to stop this international crime. Further discussions on the existence of the myth should be perpetuated in the efforts of seeking a long-lasting solution not only in Tanzania but whole of East African Community if the region is envisioned to be a better place to live.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Rais Jakaya Kikwete limeshuhudiwa kutolewa kwa idara ya vijana kutoka kwa iliyokuwa Wizara ya kazi, ajira na maendeleo ya vijana huku idara hiyo ikipelekwa katika wizara ya Habari, Michezo na Vijana. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ukiangalia utofauti wa jina unaweza usipate mantiki ya kwa nini hapo awali wizara iliyoshughulikia mambo ya vijana ilipewa jina la “maendeleo ya vijana” na sasa katika wizara mpya kupewa jina “vijana” pekee. Swali la kujiuliza hapa ni kwamba je wizara hiyo ya zamani ilishindwa kuleta maendeleo ya vijana? Na kama lengo katika miaka mitano iliyopita ilkuwa ni kuleta maendeleo ya vijana je idara ya vijana katika iliyokuwa wizara ya maendeleo ya vijana je ilifanikiwa kufanya kazi kwa ufanisi kuwaletea vijana maendeleo kama ilivyojiita kuwa wizara ya maendelo ya vijana?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Majibu haya ya maswali mawili hapo juu anayo Mhe. Rais aliyefanya mageuzi na kuunda wizara nyingine itakayoshughulikia mambo ya vijana 2010-2015! Je suala ni kupeana ulaji au kuleta maendeleo kwa vijana hoja hii tutaipima miaka mitano ijayo itakapoisha. Mhe waziri uliyeteuliwa kazi kwako kuikanusha hoja hii kwa ufanisi wako ndani ya miaka mitano ama kuifanya kuwa kweli na kumuangusha bosi wako aliyekuteua.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pamoja na changamoto nyingine zinazoikabili idara ya vijana ni uundwaji wa baraza huru la Taifa la Vijana. Kupigwa dana dana kwa idara hiyo ya vijana kunaweza kupelekea kukosekana kwa ufanisi hasa katika kusimamimia sera ya Taifa ya Maendeleo ya vijana. Hoja ya ufanisi wa idara ya vijana kusimamia uundwaji wa baraza la vijana ndani ya wizara mpya inaweza kuchelewesha mchakato huo. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hapa vijana na wanaharakati tunapaswa kuwa makini kutoa msukumo na shinikizo ya hoja ya uharakishwaji na uwepo wa baraza huru la vijana ianze mapema. La sivyo madai yetu ya ongezeko la ajira kwa vijana hayawezi kufanyiwa kazi ipasavyo na idara hiyo endapo hatutakuwa na chombo chetu mathubuti cha kusimamania ajenda za vijana hapa nchi kama ilivyokuwa kwa nchi za jirani kama Uganda, Botswana na kwingineko.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Waziri husika uliyeteuliwa na Mhe. Rais kushika wadhifa katika wizara inayoshughulikia mambo ya vijana, nakuomba urejee ahadi ya Mtangulizi wako Mhe. Athuman Juma Kapuya aliyoitoa katika maadhimisho ya siku ya vijana kimataifa (IYD)tarehe 12 Agosti 2010 katika ukumbi wa Apeadu (United Nations Compound-Kinondoni) kuwa wizara ya vijana ipo tayari kusimamia uundwaji wa baraza huru la vijana la Taifa.Na baadaye Waziri mstaafu Kapuya kufungua mwaka wa kimataifa wa vijana (International Youth Year-IYY) ambapo Mpango kazi wa IYY uliundwa na vijana na kuwa na kipaumbele cha kwanza kinachotaka Vijana na Serikali kushirikiana kuunda Baraza Huru la Vijana la Taifa.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mhe. Waziri mpya wa vijana unajukumu la kwanza kuhakikisha tunakuwa na baraza hili mapema kabla ya Januari 2012, pamoja na kuwa utakuwa na kazi ya kusimamia Habari na Michezo hili lisiwe kisingizio. Vijana chonde chonde tusichoke kukomalia suala la uanzishwaji wa Baraza Huru la Vijana,bila kujali utofauti wa itikadi za rangi, kabila na siasa.Miaka zaidi ya 13 imepita bila kuwa na baraza hili tangu vuguvugu za harakati hizi zianze; pamoja na ahadi ya sera ya maendeleo ya vijana isiyotekelezeka kudai kuwa serikali itasimamia uundwaji wake bila mafanikio kwa muda wa miaka yote hii. Sasa tumechoshwa na ahadi za sera isiyotekelezeka tunataka mtu shupavu, muadilivu na mchapa kazi kama alivyosema Mhe. Rais ambaye ndiye bosi wako kutoa msukumo maalumu wa uwepo wa Baraza, sisi vijana tunaamni mtu huyo mwenye sifa ilizosema Mhe.Rais ni wewe Mhe.

Katika swali hili napenda kuizungumzia siasa kama mfumo unaotambulika na kukubalika na watu wote katika kuratibu rasilimali zote za taifa, iwe ni watu, fedha, maliasili zote zinazohusika kama maji, ardhi, madini, wanyama pori na misitu katika kumnufaisha mwananchi mmoja mmoja na hatimaye kuleta maendeleo endelevu kwa jamii ya watu wote kama Taifa. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Vile vile katika swali hili ningependa sana walengwa wa kwanza kujiuliza swali hili wawe wananchi wote wa Tanzania lakini hasa ningependa kuwatambua kwa kuwaweka katika makundi yafuatayo:- Kundi la kwanza ni la wananchi wanaojihusisha na siasa katika vyama vya siasa iwe ni chama tawala au vyama vya upinzani. Kundi la pili ni la wananchi wasiojuhisha na vyama vya siasa ila wao hupenda kufuatilia nyendo za kisiasa na kuishia kutoa maoni na mitazamo yao kwa namna mbalimbali. Kundi la tatu ni la wananchi wasiojua nini kinaendelea katika siasa nchini mwao lakini hujikuta wakishiriki katika michakato ya kisiasa bila ya wao kujua, kwa mfano kutakiwa kupiga kura huku akiwa hajui atakayempiga kura ni nani na atafanya nini endapo atachaguliwa kuwa kiongozi ama wa kata, jimbo au Urais. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Siasa kama mfumo nilioulezea hapo juu kwa ufupi huwa na athari chanya au hasi katika maisha ya kila mwananchi wa nchi husika. Kuufahamu mfumo wa kisiasa wa nchi yako ama kutokuufahamu hakuwezi kuzuia uwezo wa mfumo huu kuathiri maisha yako kwa namna zote mbili yaani kwa faida au hasara. Ni vyema kila mwananchi akafahamu kuwa siasa ni maisha yake na maisha yake ni siasa. Hakuna jambo litakalofanyika katika ngazi ya kijiji, kata, wilaya, mkoa na taifa lisilohusisha utashi wa kisiasa. Hivyo utashi wa kisiasa katika ngazi zote za uongozi wa nchi hauepukiki na kila mwananchi anawajibika kujihusisha na mfumo wa kisiasa ili adhma ya kutumia mfumo wa siasa katika kuratibu rasilimali za taifa umnufaishe yeye binafsi na hatimaye kuleta maendeleo endelevu kwa jamii ya watu wote kama Taifa.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nchi yetu inajivunia kuwa na historia ya aina yake katika nyanja za kisiasa. Kwa ufupi kabisa nitagusia mtiririko wa kihistoria huku nikitumia maana ya siasa kama “mfumo unaotambulika na kukubalika na watu wote katika kuratibu rasilimali zote za taifa, iwe ni watu, fedha, maliasili zote zinazohusika kama maji, ardhi, madini, wanyama pori na misitu katika kumnufaisha mwananchi mmoja mmoja na hatimaye kuleta maendeleo endelevu kwa jamii ya watu wote kama Taifa”. Kabla ya kupata uhuru wa kisiasa, nchi yetu ilikuwa chini ya mfumo wa kisiasa wa wakoloni ambao wao kama ilivyo desturi ya mfumo wa kisiasa waliutumia kujinufaisha wao na watu wao waliokuwa ughaibuni. Hali tukiwa tunatawaliwa hatukuweza kunufaika na mfumo wa siasa za kikoloni kwa kuwa huo ulilenga kuwanufaisha wananchi wao kwa njia za unyonyaji. Hapo ndipo harakati za kudai “uhuru wa kisiasa” (political liberation) zilipamba moto na hatimaye nchi yetu ikatunukiwa uhuru wa kisiasa Desemba 9 mwaka 1961.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Muelekeo wa kisiasa ukabidilika mara baada ya nchi kupata uhuru wa kisiasa kutoka kuwa na vyama vingi katika utawala wa kikoloni na kuwa na chama kimoja cha siasa katika utawala mpya wa kiafrika. Hapa agenda yetu sisi ikawa ni kuijenga nchi kwa dhana ya kuweka umoja na mshikamano na kuondoa ukabila na udini ulichochewa na wakoloni ili waweze kututawala vizuri. Agenda hii ilikuwa nzuri kwa wakati ule, hasa ukizingatia kuwa wakoloni walitumia kamchezo walichokaita kwa lugha yao kuwa “devide and rule”. Lakini sisi agenda yetu ya kisiasa ilibidi ibadilike ili iweze kukidhi haja ya wananchi wote kunufaika na rasilimali za taifa. Hivyo mfumo wa vyama vingi endapo ungepewa nafasi ungeweza kuongeza kasi ya kutugawanya na hivyo kukosa umoja na mshikamano ambao ungetumika kuijenga nchi yetu ili itunufaishe. Mfumo wa chama kimoja ulikuwa una kasoro zake ambazo kwa wakati huo hazikuwa nyingi ukilinganisha na faida zake, ambazo hadi leo hii matunda yake tunayaona kwa Watanzania wote kuishi kwa upendo, kitu ambacho nchi nyingine zinazotuzunguka hawana. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dhamira na agenda ya kisiasa wakati wa mfumo wa chama kimoja ulio ongozwa na hayati Baba wa Taifa ulikuwa sahihi kwa wakati wake. Miaka ya 1980 kukatokea msukumo na shinikizo kutoka kwa waliokuwa wakitutawala wakitutaka kurudi kwenye mfumo wa vyama vingi kwa hoja kivuli za kutimiza dhana ya uwajibikaji na kuweka demokrasia, kukatufanya kurudi na kuridhia mfumo ambao wao waliutumia kututawala wakiwa huku kwetu na sasa wangependa kuutumia huku wakitutawala kutokea kwao (ughaibuni). Uamuzi wa kuingia katika mfumo wa vyama vingi vya siasa uliambatana na mapitio ya katiba ya nchi na sheria zake ili kuzifanya ziweze kukidhi haja ya wakati na kuuratibu mfumo wenyewe, kazi iliyofanywa vyema na tume ya marehemu Jaji Francis Nyalali ambayo ilizitamka sheria takribani 40 kama “bad laws” ambazo zinahitaji mabadiliko ya haraka ili mfumo wa vyama vingi vya siasa uwe na manufaa kwa wananchi wote. Kazi ya kurekebisha au kuzifuta sheria hizi ili zikidhi haja ni hoja ya kisheria sana ambayo huenda naweza nisiitupie macho kwa kina kama ambavyo wangeweza kufanya wanasheria, ila ukweli kuwa chochote katika kufanya mabadiliko ya sheria hizi hakijafanyika sitaacha kuusema ili wanaohusika na kulitatua hili wakumbuke kufanya hivyo pamoja na kuwa ni miaka zaidi ya 15 tangu mapendekezo hayo yatolewe. Kuanzia kwenye hoja hii tunaweza kuanza kuhoji uhalali wa kile tunachosema kupitia vyama vyetu vya siasa kama “agenda” zetu tukianzia na chama tawala ambacho ndicho kilichoishika dola kwa sasa na ndio chama kile kile kilichoishika dola wakati mapendekezo ya tume ya Marehemu Jaji Francis Nyalali yalipotolewa. Wakati huo huo tukijiuliza ni zipi agenda za vyama vya upinzani vyenye ushawishi mkubwa hivi sasa katika vyombo vya maamuzi kama bunge na ambavyo vimeweza kuvumilia kuwa na mfumo wa vyama vingi ndani ya “sheria 40” ambazo zilitamkwa kuwa ni “bad laws” na iliyokuwa tume ya Mheshimiwa Nyalali?. Tunakuja kugundua kuwa agenda “nambari moja” ya kila chama cha siasa ni kushinda uchaguzi mkuu na kuunda dola, jambo lililoshuhudiwa katika miaka 15 iliyopita huku chama tawala kikiibuka na ushindi mkubwa katika viti vya madiwani, ubunge na urais na kuunda dola. Huku vyama vingine vya siasa vinavyotamkwa kuwa vyenye ushawishi mkubwa vikufuatia nyuma na kushika mkia. Baada ya kushindwa kwa “agenda nambari moja” ya kushinda uchaguzi mkuu na kuunda dola kwa vyama vya upinzani tangu mwaka 1995, 2000 na 2005 tumeshuhudia “agenda nambari mbili” ya vyama vya upinzani ya “kuking’oa chama tawala” ikipamba moto huku ikisindikizwa na mbwembwe za kisiasa za kuunda umoja wa vyama vya upinzani agenda iliyoonekana kufeli kutokana na kila chama cha upinzani kuwa na “agenda nambari tatu” inayofanana na “agenda nambari mbili” ya chama tawala ambayo hiyo inalenga kuuendelea kuishika dola kwa udi na uvumba ili kuendela kula keti ya Taifa kama ilivyodhirika kwa wale waliokumbwa na kashfa za ufisadi kama rada, Richmond, ndege ya rais, majengo pacha ya benki kuu na Buzwagi. Agenda nambari mbili ya vyama vya upinzani awali ilionekana kuwa na utashi wenye maslahi ya Kitaifa lakini masikitiko yangu makubwa ni kuwa agenda hii imekumbwa na dhoruba ya “devide and rule” na sasa dhamira ya upinzani kuunganisha nguvu ili kuking’oa chama tawala haitafanikiwa mpaka watakapotambua kuwa “agenda zao” zote haziendani na matakwa ya wananchi wa Tanzania. Matakwa ya wananchi wa Tanzania ni yepi? Tukiligundua hili ni rahisi kwa agenda nambari mbili ya vyama vya upinzani ikafanikiwa na hatimaye kuking’oa chama tawala. Na chama tawala kitajifunza kutoka kwa upinzani juu ya nini wananchi wanataka.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mimi naona vyama vyetu vya siasa havina agenda sahihi kwa wananchi na taifa kwa ujumla. Kama agenda ni “kuongeza kasi ya maendeleo na kuyafanya yawe endelevu”(Rapid increase of sustainable development) kwanini ndoa ya vyama vya upinzani ilivunjika? Kama agenda ni “kuongeza kasi ya maendeleo na kuyafanya yawe endelevu” kwa nini zitumike mbinu chafu za kushinda uchaguzi na kuuita ushindi wa kishindo ili muendelee kula keki ya Taifa? Ipo haja ya vyama vya siasa kujipitia upya na kutoa kipaumbele kwa agenda yenye maslahi ya kitaifa ya “kuongeza kasi ya maendeleo na kuyafanya yawe endelevu”. Hii agenda ikitupiwa macho kwa makini itatusaidia.Kama lengo letu likawa moja yaani kuleta kasi ya maendeleo na kuyafanya yawe endelevu, ninayo rai moja tu kwa vyama vya upinzani. Tumeshuhudia vyama vya upinzani vikishindwa vibaya katika chaguzi zilizopita. Mwaka huu(2010) pia kuna uchaguzi mkuu wa madiwani, wabunge na urais na kitu cha kushangaza tayari vyama viwili vya upinzani kati ya vyama vilivyowahi kufunga ndoa huko nyuma kila kimoja kimetangaza nia ya kusimamisha mgombea wake wa Urais katika uchaguzi wa Octoba 2010. Ni uamuzi mzuri tena wa kidemokrasia lakini unatufanya tuendelee kuhoji legitimacy ya agenda za coalition mliyoiunda na iliyofeli. Kama agenda ya vyama vya upinzani ni “kuongeza kasi ya maendeleo na kuyafanya yawe endelevu” nawashauri mvunje vyama vyenu vyote na muunde angalau chama kimoja chenye nguvu kitakachosimamisha mgombea mmoja wa kiti cha urais na mkitumia mwanya huo kuwa na wabunge wengi katika viti vya ubunge ili kupush agenda ya “kuongeza kasi ya maendeleo na kuyafanya yawe endelevu . Katika hili kama agenda zenu zitabakia kuwa zile nilizozitaja hapo juu pindi mnapokuwa kwenye vyama vyenu, napenda nitoe tahadhari kuwa yanaweza kuwafika kama yale yaliyoikumba PNU kule Kenya na baadaye kuleta mvutano wa kugawana madaraka na ODM kama ilivyo kwa ZANU-PF na MDC kule Zimbwabwe, serikali ambazo hazina tija kwa Taifa kwa sababu zinatanguliza maslahi binafsi mbele badala ya maslahi ya Taifa. Ni furaha yangu kuona kuwa kila Mtanzania anayeshiriki katika siasa na atakayepiga kura katika uchuguzi mkuu ujao mwezi Octoba 2010 kwa namna yoyote ile anaipa kipaumbele agenda ya “kuongeza kasi ya maendeleo na kuyafanya yawe endelevu” kwa maslahi ya kizazi cha sasa na kile kijacho. Wakati huo huo kila mmoja hali akitafakari makala hii ajiulize “kwani katika siasa mimi agenda yangu ni ipi?” Ningependa sana agenda yako iwe “kuongeza kasi ya maendeleo na kuyafanya yawe endelevu” kwa maslahi ya kizazi cha sasa na kile kijacho. Mungu wabariki Watanzania wawe na nguvu ya kuliona hili.Mungu Ibariki Tanzania. Mungu Ibariki Afrika, watu wake na viongozi.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Kazimoto presented a paper on “Southern Development Opportunities”, Accountant Phinias Opanga presented a paper on “Human Resource Management”, a renowned journalist from TBC Mr.Gerson Msigwa presented a paper on “employment opportunities in Information and Communication Technology”. Other presenters include a labour officer Mr. Oddo Egino Hekela presented a paper on “employment industry” while Frederick Fussi presented papers on “self awareness and university course selection.” The workshop took the duration of one day.</div>Frederick Fussihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15080728193381841837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851515218355753974.post-75463140986910059212010-02-16T13:11:00.001-08:002010-02-16T13:13:21.750-08:00UONGOZI NI MAONO<div style="text-align: justify;">Sifa ya Kiongozi yeyote yule duniani katika nyanja za kila namna ni sharti awe amebeba maono ndani yake ili aweze kuongoza au kuliongoza kundi kwa usahihi mkubwa. Labda tujiulize kwa nini kundi linahitaji kuongozwa?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hakuna dereva anayeweza kuendesha gari vizuri asipoifahamu barabara aiendeayo au kuufahamu mwisho wa safari yake. Kadhalika kiongozi naye ni lazima afahamu watu anaowaongoza na kutambua kule anakowapeleka. Tunamfananisha kiongozi mzuri na dereva stadi anayelifahamu gari lake kwa ufasaha na kuweza kulichunguza kwa makini na kabla ya hayaanza safari yake hujenga picha akilini mwake juu ya kule anakotakiwa kulifikisha gari lake kwa usalama wa hali ya juu. Dereva huyu lazima kwa namna moja ama nyingine atakuwa amepakia abiria au mizigo ndani ya gari lake. Uwezo wa dereva kupiga picha ya safari nzima tungu mwanzo wa safari hadi mwisho wake humfanya dereva kuwa na sifa ya maono. Hatumtegemei dereva huyo kufanya tofauti na maono yake. Maono yake ni kuliendesha gari lake kupitia barabara fulani kwa mwendo fulani na kufika sehemu husika ndani ya muda uliopigiwa mahesabu. Kuzifahamu changamoto zitakazomkabili njiani wakati wa safari nayo pia ni sifa ya dereva huyu mzuri mwenye maono.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kadhalika kwake kiongozi mwenye maono huwafahamu watu wake vizuri, huzijua changamoto za watu wake na yeye hufahamu namna bora ya kuzikabili hizo changamoto ili aweze kulipigisha hatua kundi lake. Kiongozi bora ni mwenye maono mithili ya mchungaji wa kondoo. Mchungaji wa kondoo huwatoa zizini asubuhi hali akifahamu aina ya malisho sahihi kwa ajili ya afya ya kondoo wake. Hufamu vyema mto ule wenye maji safi na salama ambayo kondoo wake watayanywa wakiwa malishoni. Wanyang’anyi wajaposogelea kundi la kondoo wake yeye husimama kidete kuwatetea kwa kuwa ana maono ya kuwarudisha salama katika zizi lile lile alilowatoa asubuhi.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Uongozi ni maono, pasipo maono uongozi huwa mgumu na mafanikio habakia kuwa ndoto miongoni mwa kundi ama watu wanaoongozwa. Kiongozi hubeba maono ambayo hushikwa na wale anaowaongoza. Uwezo wa kundi kuyashika maono ya kiongozi wao ndio uwezo wa kundi kufanikiwa na kuwa salama nyakati zote. Wapo watu ambao sio viongozi lakini wanaongoza. Watu wa namna hii hutawaliwa na nyakati zisizokuwa na mafanikio yaliyo dhahiri. Viongozi hawa huwa na sifa ya kukosa maono na uzoefu anonesha kuwa viongozi hawa huliyumbisha kundi wanaloliongoza. Uongozi ni maono, maono hayo hubaki kuwa msaada mkubwa kwa kuwa watu au kundi linaloongozwa na kiongozi mwenye maono hufanikiwa kwa kasi ya ajabu kwa sababu imo siri kubwa ndani ya kiongozi aliyebeba maono sahihi na maono hayo yakashikwa na kundi lake. </div>Frederick Fussihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15080728193381841837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851515218355753974.post-48194063034370377792010-01-01T02:29:00.000-08:002010-01-01T02:29:14.069-08:00TAIFA LENYE MAONO NA WATU WENYE MAONO<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ukuaji wa Taifa lolote lile duniani unategemea na aina ya maono ya watu au wananchi wanaoishi ndani ya hilo Taifa. Maono ni uwezo wa mtu kuona mambo yajayo kabla ya wengine, kuyaona sana kuliko wengine na kuona mbali zaidi ya wengine.</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ili Taifa likue linahitaji kuwa Taifa lenye maono ya hali ya juu. Na ili maono yawepo panahitajika wawepo watu wachache na sio wote wanaoweza au wenye uwezo wa hali ya juu wa kuona na kubeba maono ya Taifa hilo. Kwa mfano kabla Tanganyika haijapata uhuru palikuwepo na watu wachache wenye uwezo mkubwa wa kuona mbali na kuweza kubeba maono ya Taifa. Watu hawa ndio waliokuwa viongozi na vinara wa kuung’oa utawala Kiingereza katika ardhi ya Watanganyika na kuamua kuunda upya Taifa lao.</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kimsingi zipo awamu nne tangu Taifa letu lipate uhuru. Katika awamu hizi nne kumekuwepo na matarajio ya kuwa tungekuwa na watu wachache wenye maono ya kulijenga Taifa letu kama ilivyokuwa kwa kipindi cha Mwl. J.K. Nyerere. Mfano mzuri Mwl. Nyerere alikuwa mtu mwenye maono. Mwalimu aliamini katiaka maono yake kwa Taifa na kuwa mstari wa mbele kuongoza Watanzania wenzake. Si kweli kwamba Mwl. Nyerere aliweza kuyafanya mambo yote peke yake la hasha alikuwa na wasidizi wake wa Karibu ambao nao pia waliamini ndani ya maono ya Mwalimu na kuyashika hayo maono. Kwa mantiki hii sasa tunagundua kuwa Mwalimu alikuwa na maono na wasaidizi wake walijifunza ama kuyashika au kuyakataa. Enzi hizo ili Taifa likue ilitegemea ni namna gani wasaidizi wa Mwalimu walikubali kuyashika maono na kuyatendea kazi. Katika kipindi hicho wapo wale walioyashika maono na kuyatendea kazi na wapo baadhi ambao hawakuona umuhimu wa kuyashika maono. </span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Uwezo wa Taifa kukua unategemea ni namna gani watu wa Taifa hilo wanayashika maono ya kiongozi wao na kuyatendea kazi. Ili Taifa likue linahitaji maono sahihi ya kiongozi wa Taifa. Si kila mtu tunayemwita kiongozi anaweza kubeba maono ndani yake. Na si kila mtu anaweza kubeba maono. Ili kuweka uwiano katikati ya Taifa lazima awepo mtu mmoja ambaye ndani yake anakuwa amebeba “maono ya Taifa lake”. Maono ya Taifa huanza ndani ya mtu mmoja na watu wa Taifa lake huwa watu wenye maono kwa sababu tu wameyashika maono ya mtu mmoja miongoni mwao. Kukikosekana mtu mmoja mwenye maono Taifa hupitia katika vipindi vigumu tofauti na aina ya ugumu unaojitokeza endapo Taifa lina mtu aliyebeba maono na wengine kuyashika. Taifa letu Tanzania linahitaji “maono sahihi” kutoka kwa “mtu sahihi” na Watanzania wote wanahitaji kuyashika maono hayo ili Taifa lao lipige hatua.</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Taifa letu Tanzania bado linatembea ndani ya maono ya mtu mmoja ambaye bahati nzuri alishamaliza kazi yake na hivyo maono hayo kufikia ukomo kiuhai. Kuna “maono hai” (active vision) na “maono yaliyokufa” (dormant vision). Tanzania kwa sasa haina “maono hai”. Ni vigumu mtu kuamini kama Tanzana ya sasa haina “maono hai” Lakini ukweli unabakia kuwa Taifa letu kwa sasa halina maono hai. Huhitaji kuwa na elimu kubwa kutambua kuwa Taifa linatembea ndani ya “dormant vision”. Chunguza kasi ya ukuaji wa kiuchumi kwa mtu mmoja mmoja na wa Taifa na kasi ndogo Maendeleo ya jamii utagundua kuwa hatua tulipo sasa ilibidi tuipige zaidi ya miaka 30 iliyopita.Tunaweza kujivunia hatua ile tuliyoipiga sasa, vyema, lakini hatustahili kujivunia kwa sababu Tanzania ni zaidi ya mafanikio yote tuliyonayo sasa. Tanzania haistahili kuwa ilipo sasa. Ipo njia sahihi ya kuifikisha Tanzania inapotakiwa kuwapo. Upo umuhimu wa kila Mtanzania kugundua kuwa hatustahili kuwa hapa tulipo. Tunayo stahili yetu. Na ili kuifikia stahili yetu sharti tukubali kulipia gharama za kuwa na maono hai(active vision). Na huu ndio mwanzo mpya wa maono hai (the new beginning of an active vision).</span><br />
