Polisi wakamata rais wa zamani
Kiongozi wa zamani wa Pakistan Parvez Musharraf alikamatwa jana usiku nyumbani kwake nje kidogo ya mji mkuu Karachi. Musharraf anakabiliwa na mashitaka ya uhaini yaotkanayo na kusimamisha katiba ya nchi alipochukua madaraka kwa njia ya kupindua serikali mwaka 2001. Alitawala hadi 2008 kabla ya kuachia madaraka kukimbilia Uingereza ambako alikaa uhamishoni hadi aliporejea hivi karibuni akitaka kurejea kwenye siasa bila mafanikio. Kwa mwaka huu Musharraf anakuwa rais wa pili kukamatwa na polisi na kufunguliwa mashitaka baada ya rais wa zamani wa Zambia Rupiah Banda ambaye hivi karibuni alikamatwa na kufunguliwa mashtaka ya ufisadi na matumizi mabaya ya madaraka. Kukamatwa kwa watawala hawa wa zamani ni somo kwa watawala wa sasa wanaotumia madaraka vibaya bila kujua kuwa kuna siku yatawaponyoka na wataonja joto ya jiwe. Kwa habari zaidi BOFYA hapa.

Nilialikwa kuapishwa Uhuru Kenyatta
Wengi hawajui uhusiano wangu na Kenyatta wala Moi Kibaki. Hiyo siri yangu na personal issue.
Wengi walishangaa kusikia nikitambulishwa kabla ya marais waliohudhuria. MC, kwa manjonjo, alisema, “Namleta kwenu rais asiyetambulika na kukubalika wa walevi wote duniani mstahiki mtukufu Nkwazi Mhango. Wengi walipigwa na kihoro wasijue nami ni rais tena ninayejulikana.
Ghafla Kenyatta alinitania akisema, “Wali ku mutongolya wa njohi, yaani ulikuwa wapi kiongozi wa pombe?” Bila kujivunga nilimjibu, “Lehe kanjohi ka uthamaki wa forori ya Muratina na Mwomboko.”
Nilimtania kuwa urais umevuka tena mto Chania na kurejea Kiambuu toka Nyeri. Alicheka sana na kushangaa ninavyojua utani wao wa asili baina ya watu wa Kiambuu, Kiambaa, Gatundu na hata Kangema na wa Nyeri, Othaya, Tetu, Githakwa na Ithekahuno.
Muda ulikuwa hautoshi. Aliniomba niwe mshauri wake mkuu kuhusiana na kilevi. Sikukubali wala kukataa. Nilimwambia kuwa nitafikiria. Siwezi kukueleza yote tuliyoongea.
Maana mambo mengine ni yetu wakubwa si makapuku wala walevi wa kawaida kama wewe msomaji wangu.
Tulicheka sana na kukumbatiana kwa furaha hasa baada ya kutoonana kwa muda mrefu. Mara ya kwanza tulionana nchini kwa Joji Kichaka akisoma wakati ule nikiwa visiting professor wa falsafa. Nilimsaidia sana huyu dogo kiasi kwamba hawezi kunisahau. Mara ya mwisho tulionana mitaa ya Muthangari na Gigiri tulipokuwa tukipata kanywaji pamoja na washirika zetu wengine ambaonisingependa niwataje hapa. Dogo alishangaa kufahamu kuwa nafahamiana na jaji mkuu aliyemwapisha Dk. Willy Mutunga. Hayo tuyaache.
Hakuna kilichonivutia kama ahadi ya Uhuru Kenyatta ya kulinda raslimali, mazingira na maslahi ya Kenya. Dogo alisema bila kumung’unya kuwa atahakikisha analinda raslimali za Kenya na mazingira kwa ajili ya vizazi vijavyo
Pia aliahidi pesa yote itakayopatikana toka kwenye raslimali husika itatumiwa kwa adabu na nidhamu
Maneno ya Kenyatta yaliniacha na maumivu sana kuona Tanzanite inavyoibiwa huku wachukuaji wakija na kuchimba madini na kujiondokea na mifweza huku wakituachia mishimo na mabalaa ya kimazingira. Hivi nani alituroga yarabi?
Hakuna aliponiacha hoi kama pale aliposema kuwa atahakikisha uhusiano na majirani zake hasa Bongolalaland unadumu ili aweze kujipatia ardhi aongezee kwenye ile aliyo nayo ambayo ina ukubwa sawa na mkoa wa Arusha. Pia alisema atahakikisha anaunganisha Kenya na nchi jirani ili kuwawezesha watu wake wasio na ardhi waende kule na kujitwalia ardhi madini na raslimali kutokana na wajinga fulani kuchezea vitu hivi.
Kwa tunaomjua alikuwa akirusha kijembe kwa majuha wanaochezea raslimali na uchumi wa mataifa yao. Aliporusha hili dongo nilimuona jamaa yangu mmoja toka Bongo ambaye kwa leo simtaji akikenua meno wakati roho ikimuuma. Nilijisemea moyoni kuwa kumbe kimwana cia Kamau wa Ngengi ni noma!
Baada ya kuongea na Uhuru nilikwenda kuongea na mzee Daniel arap Mwai ambaye alifurahi sana na kuniambia kwa Kiswahili chake kibovu, “My friend ukuje tubulahi pamoja my project has won at last.” Baada ya kukumbatiana na kuamkuana na mzee Nyayo niliamua kumuasa amwambie dogo abadili baadhi ya ahadi zake.
Kwa mfano aliahidi kutoa laptop kwa kila mwanafunzi wa shule ya msingi bila kujua kuwa Kenya yote haina umeme na kwamba watoto wa maskwata hawana chakula wala viatu.
Hivyo laptops alizoahidi wangeziuza kwa watoto wa mafisadi kwenda kununua unga. Tulikubaliana na kuagana ndipo nikajikunja kwenye laptop yangu kumwandikia email agwambo Raila Odinga ambaye alikuwa Sauzi kumjulia hali Mandela na kuepuka kukirihishwa kushuhudia ulaji wake akipewa mtu mwingine.
Alinijibu haraka kuwa kwake Mandela was better than anything except God alone. Nilimpa pole ya kuzidiwa kete kwenye kile alichoona ni uchakachuaji na uchafuzi wa uchaguzi. Anyways, siasa wakati mwingine ni mchezo mchafu.
Hakuna mtu alitia aibu na kuchefua watu kama jamaa yangu M7 aliyechemsha kwa kuishambulia ICC akidhani anamsaidia dogo. Alijigamba kuwa anachukua ufisadi wakati ndicho chakula na hewa yake. Nilitaka niamke nimzabe mabao ila niliacha kwa vile bodigadi wake wakijitia kujua nkawaumiza.
Mna habari kuwa nilitambulishwa kwa habithi wa Sudan anayejiita mwarabu wakati ni mmakonde tena mwenye machale nikakataa? Mie sio kama wajinga wanjinga wanaoendekeza nakuchekacheka na kushikana mikono na maadui na kila habithi kwa vile nao wameficha uhabithi wao.
Wajua kuwa baada ya sherehe ya kuapa nilifanya kitu ambacho kililetea kaya yangu heshima kubwa? Ilikuwa ni pale makamu wa Kenyatta alipopotosha historian a ukweli kusema eti mabaki ya mtu wa kwanza yaligunduliwa Kenya wakati ni Bongo tena Odivai Gorge. Niliudhika nusu ya kunasa mtu mabao hadi Kenyatta akashangaa.
Hata hivyo Rutuo aliniandikia SMS akiniomba msamaha kwa vile alisema kuwa alikuwa amehemkwa nilimsamehe na kuelekeza hasira zangu kwa majuha walioshindwa kuitetea Bongolalaland yangu. Nilishangaa kuona ujumbe wa Bongolalaland ukikenua macho badala ya kudai afute kauli yake maana hii ilikuwa ni kutuibia haki yetu ukiachia mbali kutudhalilisha.
Hii imenikumbusha kisa ambapo mzee Mchonga alitaka kufungulia jeshi baada ya hawa jamaa kudai mlima Kilimanjaro uko kwao. Baada ya hapo wanadai karibu kila kitu kuanzia Kiswahili, Serengeti hata Tanzanite viko kwao huku jamaa zangu wanaopaswa kuwatolea uvivu wakichekelea kama vile hawana akili! Hayo tuyaache.
Baada ya kumaliza shughuli nilianza kuwaza mantiki ya kumzawadia Moi Kibaki jumba la mabilioni ya shilingi na mshahara na marupurupu bila kufanya kazi ni nini kama si wizi wa siasa za kijambazi za Kiswahili za kuwaibia makapuku.
Jitu lina mijumba kama serikali halafu linaongezwa mengine wakati wananchi wakilala njaa! Nilijionea huruma. Nikistaafu urais wa walevi nitapewa michupa ya gongo na misokoto ya bangi. Kweli wanajua kututenda!
By the way, if I attended the inauguration or not, if I was invited or not and if what I’ve said is true or not what’s it to do with you? Think twice. Again, I’m just kidding. Tafsiri nyepesi:Kama nilihudhuria kuapishwa huko au la, kama nilialikwa au la na ni vipi kama nilichosema ni kweli au siyo, inakuhusu? Fikiria mara mbili. Ninatania
Walevi wa Roundabout shule ya Uhuru mpo! Smile!

What Bongo boondoggle-cum- Bongo bondage!
In Bongo where brain’s used criminally, any doodle can get away with it. In this part of screwed up world, one may say: Self-help and boondoggling on public offices is the only thing venal creatures living there know. In doing so, sadly tough, the majority ---wishing would be a part of robbing party--- is perishing in bondage thanks to the activities of a cabal of boods.
No research no right to chonga. Tell me. Aren't kleptos behind Kagodamn, EPA and other thuggery a criminal-turned politicians? What’s up Roast-tamu Aziz, Eddy Lowasa, Endru Chenge and Jake Kikwete?
The other day I heard the economy was growing. I wonder. How could the economy grow at the tune of 8% while our foreign debt does the same at 400% (according to CHADEMA)? In such a situation, is there any true growth or bookish and cooked one? How can there be any growth amid corruption and drug peddling as Kangi Lugola (CCM) put it that some ministers and other bigwigs are good cheapjacks of be it mihadarati or drugs stolen from public hospitals, dispensaries and whatnot? Other badasses forged even their academic credentials.
As I wondered, there came this ad infinitum sacriligo involving robbing the public dosh in almost all ministries, departments, local governments and whatnot as the report of Comptroller and Audit General (CAG) unearths every year.
Logically, I see no rationale in having CAG’s office whose reports are sat on years in, years out. We always hear of CAG reports with all damning implications. No single bin-Adam’s ever been charged or being punished all the more.
Always, in our gaffe-and-flaw-prone hunk the question is: Why could the government dress itself down by fearing and protecting drug barons, tax evaders and other criminals? Does it mean that these killers are the part of it or a government in its own light? If not, why’s it buffed them? Lao moja nini? This country bwana, trust no boondoggler. Those thought to be clean aren’t. Those thought would bring changes are changed themselves. Tamaa Bwana. Everybody wants to get rich by all and any means!
Guess what. When Kikwete said he knows all drugs dealers, thugs, corrupt officials and whatnot, I thought he’d take on them in lieu of ending up being soft on them. Seven years down the line, nothing’s ever come forth. Methinks this was another sanaa.
The other day one geezer said that Kikwete’ll deal with all criminals he knows after retiring.
Bongo’s always funny in its own ways. It’s the only hunk on earth whose kit and caboodle of doodles can dubiously congregate and divide public houses among themselves without being whacked. Funny enough, the same criminals still holler that whatever they do is in the interest of people! To make things worse, when they congregate to ruin the hunk, receive fat perks called sitting allowances! Who’d believe that sitting on us pays this way? Fat perks for just farting around! Indeed, Bongo with it boondoggles, is where crimes pay and criminals are heroes and heroines.
I don’t want to sound alarmist. Again, didn't you hear of thugs that used to godfather and midwife Chama Cha Maulaji (CCM)? They’re arrested temporarily. Thence, nothing’s ever been heard. Unacheza na pesa?
I’m waiting to hear government’s responses regarding its bigwigs especially Emmy Nchimbi, Mwilugu Mchembe and Taifa’s Institute of Sabotage and Setbacks (TISS aka Uhasama wa Kaya) allegedly to be involved in gunk guff of sabotaging opposition using terrorist methods. Shame on them! Can this tell why Nchimbi’s forgery scandals have nary been dealt with? Mchembe, too, is said to have used somebody’s name in school. As for Riz Kiquette, ‘hanging’ on his dad’s back’s become monotonously sickening. Huu ni ukupe per se.
Bongo’s second to none in terms of plundering and stealing from paupers. Investors, especially fake ones, and most criminals can come and conspire with corrupt government officials and make away with billions of dosh. It has reached a point at which some government officials would conspire with corrupt politicians to rob the central bank and those responsible are waheshimiwa all the more! These bêtes noires have turned the Garden of Eden into a dungeon unnecessarily thanks to their myopia and greed. They preach water and drink wine!
Bongo’s the only hunk on earth where lies are turned into policies without the public waking up and stand up against it! Do you remember the say that Bongo’s an island of peace? Do people with albinism, elderly and retirees-especially those of the defunct East African Community- enjoy this ersatz peace? True, in Bongo, if you’re not a good freeloader, you’re as good as dead. Your rights will be vended to tarts by political mongrels.
Ours is the hunk in which a few rump-fed ronyons can mercilessly amass wealth while the majority cascades in abject poverty. Sadly, the same will still stomach calling this good life for all! Ironically, they refer to an all-you-can-deem-doom business of vending the people.
Ours is the hunk in which you can sleep Mjengoni and such shameful act is rewarded by being paid allowances. Though this can be seen as being naïve, blimpish or even giddy, I’m comfortable to submit that I see as Bongo Boondoggle Bongo-cum- Bondage thanks to Bongolalalanders’ sheepishness.

Hekalu la Rwakatare lazidi kuitesa serikali
Hekalu hili la bei mbaya lilipozinduliwa na Getrude Rwakatare aliyejipachika uchungaji wanaojua jinsi dini zinavyotumika ima kuwaibia maskini au kuficha biashara haramu walihoji.

Minister and MPs arraigned for extortion in a foreign country
A Ugandan Minister and two Members of Parliament were arrested by Indian police when they attempted to extort over $ 20,000,000 from an investor in Mumbai. Uganda authorities have kept mum saying that the issue must be resolved in India where the offence was allegedly committed. This happens a few weeks after Uganda strong man Yoweri Museveni asserting that he abhors impunity. Museveni was quoted as saying he abhors impunity during the swearing-in of Kenya's president Uhuru Kenyatta. What happened shows that many African leaders are used to such malpractices and this is why many bogus investors have been coming to Africa and getting away with a lot of wealth without doing anything and if they do, they just offer substandard services. Currently, Tanzania's many investors in communication sectors especially telephone. Again they're duping and ripping Tanzanians off while the authorities are just watching. Maybe, this is being tolerated due to the true that the said investors have already dined and wined the biggies in the upper echelons of power. For more information CLICK here.

Is Museveni becoming another Gaddafi?
News that Ugandan Strong man Yoweri Museveni doled out money to youths left many baffled. Again, Museveni behaviour of dish thousands of Dollars out to those he chooses is not new to Ugandans who are used to it. To them, Museveni is president Moneybag like former Libyans strong man Muamar Gaddafi who used to do the same wherever he toured. While Gaddafi was offering big sums, some of his citizens were living in abject poverty just like Museveni's. Recently, Museveni offered a sackful of money to Busoga Youth Group which observers say it was $ 100,000. Does it mean that Museveni does not keep his money in bank? Does Museveni keep money like former Malawi president Bingu wa Mutharika in whose room police discovered bags of dollars and other denominations after is death?
Again, how did Museveni make this money? Is he donating the monies as president or as Museveni and individual? Is this the right way to contribute to Youths' development or just the other way of bribing them? For more informationCLICK here.

Ghorofa laporomoka Bangladesh na kuua zaidi ya 80
Wakati watanzania wakionekana kusahau na kusuasua juu ya kuporomoka kwa ghorofa la mtaa wa Indira Gandhi, huko bara Hindi mambo yanazidi kuwa magumu. Mjini Dhakar nchini Bangladeshi limeporomoka na kuua zaidi ya watu 80. Blogu hii iliwahi kuuliza uhusiano wa kuporomoka kwa ghorofa la Dar es Salaam na yale ya India. Ukiangalia mmilki wa ghorofa lililoanguka na lile linalopaswa kubomolewa anatoka huko huko.

Kibanda ni nani? Wassira ni nani?
HAKUNA kauli imekera na kuhuzunisha wengi kama ile iliyotolewa na Waziri wa Nchi Ofisi ya Rais, Steven Wassira aliyeuliza kwa kebehi kuwa ‘Kibanda ni nani?’
Kauli hii itokanayo na upogo na ulevi wa madaraka iliwakilisha mawazo ya serikali.
Maana tangu Wassira aliporopoka, serikali haikumkana wala kumkaripia. Hii maana yake ni kwamba kauli yake ni kauli ya serikali.
Wassira alikaririwa akiwa bungeni hivi karibuni akisema kuwa haamini wala haiingii akilini kuwa Usalama wa Taifa (TISS) wanaotuhumiwa wanaweza kumteka na kumtesa Mhariri Mtendaji wa Habari Corporation (2006) na Mwenyekiti wa Jukwaa la Wahariri (TEF), Absalom Kibanda Machi 5 kwa vile ni mtu mdogo.
Yaani si saizi ya TISS. Kumbe Watanzania tunatathimiana na kuthaminiana kwa matabaka!
Kukoleza kejeli na matusi yake ya nguoni kwa Watanzania, Wassira alisema kama wangekuwa wameteswa Mwenyekiti wa CHADEMA Freeman Mbowe au Katibu Mkuu Dk. Willibrod Slaa ingeingia akilini! Je, kauli ya Wassira ilimaanisha nini? Je, kuna mpango wa kuwateka na kuwatesa Mbowe na Slaa? Je, kama TISS ‘wanashughulika’ na wazito ina maana Wassira anaweza kuwajua waliowaua watu maarufu kama vile Edward Sokoine (Aprili 12, 1984), Horace Kolimba (Machi 13, 1997), Lt Gen. Imran Kombe (Juni 30, 1996) na Zakayo Wangwe (Julai 20, 2008)?
Maana kauli ya Wassira kwa wachambuzi na wajuzi wa mambo inatoa hitimisho moja kuwa TISS ina jukumu la kuwateka na kuwatesa hata kuwaua wazito kama tuliowataja hapo.
Ni ajabu TISS hawakujitokeza kupinga wala kumkaripia. Je, walimtuma aseme aliyosema? Muhimu Mbowe na Slaa wawe makini wakijua fika wanatafutwa. Maana lisemwalo lipo kama halipo laja. Wassira hata kama ni mropokaji si mwendawazimu.
Laiti Jeshi la Polisi lisingekuwa linatumika kisiasa, lilipaswa kumbana aeleze anachojua kuhusiana na Kibanda.
Inasikitisha na kutisha kuona waziri mwenye hadhi ya Wassira kutojua hata haki za binadamu wala ukweli kuwa hakuna taasisi yoyote hata iwe kubwa namna gani yenye mamlaka ya kumtesa au kumdhuru raia hata kama ni msukuma mkokoteni.
Inasikitisha na kuudhi kuona waziri mzima hajui kuwa Watanzania wote ni sawa na wanapaswa kulindwa na serikali yao. Ni uzembe na mawazo mgando kiasi gani? Nitashangaa sana kama Rais Jakaya Kikwete hatamwajibisha kwa kumuaibisha na kumwangusha ukiachia mbali kumtukana na kumuonyesha kama kiongozi wa wenye mamlaka.
Hata hivyo, tumshukuru sana Wassira kwa kutoa mwanga kuhusiana na matukio yaliyotokea huko nyuma maana yalikuwa kitendawili kabla ya kutujuza haya.
Sasa tuangalie swali la Wassira ni nani? Kwa wanaomjua, Wassira ni mmojawapo wa wanasiasa wenye utata na wapenda madaraka.
Ni Wassira huyu huyu aliyekihama Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) na kujiunga na NCCR-Mageuzi pale alipokosa nafasi ya kugombea ubunge mwaka 1995.
Ni ajabu kuwa Wassira huyu huyu anausakama upinzani uliomhifadhi kipindi kile alipokuwa amepigwa teke na CCM anayoitetea.
Kilichofanyika alipohama Wassira si kufaidi haki ya kikatiba ya kuhama toka chama kimoja kwenda kingine bali uchu wa kutaka kuwa mbunge alioupata kabla ya kuvuliwa mwaka 1996 na baadaye kuadhirika na kujirejesha CCM akijikomba na kupewa ulaji alionao sasa ukimlewesha na kujiongelea hata bila kufikiri.
Wassira ni kati ya wanasiasa ambao vinywa vyao vilishakata mawasiliano na vichwa. Hana tofauti na Peter Serukamba aliyetukana matusi mazito bungeni asichukuliwe hatua.
Wassira ni mbunge anayesifika kwa kusema hovyo na kulala bungeni akisingizia madawa bila kutoa uthibitisho.
Pia Wassira ni mwanasiasa mbabe na kichwa ngumu ambaye amethibitisha sifa hizi kwa kujiita ‘Tyson’ ambaye kila mtu anamjua alivyokuwa akijidhalilisha ulingoni hadi kufikia kumng’ata mwenzie sikio kama ishara ya kushindwa kuzuia hasira zake.
Wassira pia husifika kwa kuwatupia wenzake madongo hata juu ya madhambi anayotenda kama alivyowahi kusema kuwa wapinzani wanawaita wake za watu vyumbani wakati ndani ya CCM wapo wanaotuhumiwa kwa hili na wasijibu.
Je, Kibanda ni nani? Kibanda ni mwanataaluma ya uandishi wa habari na mwandishi wa habari mwandamizi na Mtanzania anayeishi kwa jasho lake na si posho za makalio ambazo upinzani umekuwa ukipigana ziondolewe.
Kibanda ni Mtanzania kama mwingine asiye na makuu wala asiyejisahau kama Wassira.
Ingawa Wassira anamuona Kibanda kama mtu mdogo asiyepaswa kuwa na thamani, kitendo hiki ni tusi kwa bosi wake yaani Rais Jakaya Kikwete ambaye alikwenda Afrika Kusini anakotibiwa Kibanda kumjulia hali.
Je, Wassira ana maana Kikwete alikwenda kule kumsanifu Kibanda au alikwenda kule kwa dhati? Kibanda anaweza kuonekana mdogo mbele ya Wassira lakini si mbele ya katiba ya nchi yenye jukumu la kuwalinda Watanzania bila kujali vyeo, kipato, rangi, dini, itikadi na mengine kama hayo.
Kwa ufupi ni kwamba Kibanda ni mtu mwadilifu asiye na hatia ambaye ni sauti ya wasio na sauti kutokana na taaluma yake ambayo anaitumikia kwa ufanisi mkubwa kiasi cha kuwatia hofu akina Wassira.
Kibanda si mwanasiasa nyemelezi na aliyefilisika kimawazo kama wale wanaouliza kuwa Kibanda ni nani?
Nadhani tofauti ya Kibanda na Wassira ni kwamba Kibanda si mropokaji, mjivuni wala mlevi wa madaraka.
Bila kusema mengi, tumalizie kwa kuwataka Watanzania wachukue tahadhari na watu kama Wassira na Taasisi ya Usalama wa Taifa ambayo imekuwa ikituhumiwa kuhusika na jinai mbalimbali kama vile kuteka na kutesa watu na kuwalinda mafisadi.
Ila ni vizuri Wassira na TISS wakajua kuwa wapo hapo walipo wakifaidi vinono hadi kulewa na kupayuka hovyo kutokana na madaraka na pesa ya Watanzania.
Hakika Mungu hamfichi mnafiki. Wassira amejifunua, kazi kwetu kumsoma na kufanyia kazi kauli zake.
Aliyosema Wassira yangesemwa na mbunge wa upinzani angekuwa ndani akisota. Kila kitu kina mwisho. Tumalizie na nukuu hii. “Sina ubongo… bali mrija.”

Open Letter to M23
I must admit. My observation of the conflict between M23 and the authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is of an outsider. So too, I must clearly say that I heard or read a letter you sent to heads of states and citizens of Malawi, South Africa, and Tanzania, warning them about the danger sending their troops in DRC poses.
To a Conflict Resolution Studies professional, your message served two or more purposes. First, it is a true warning due to the fact that a war has no eyes. Second, it creates and inflicts fear, and if possible, acts as a drive to encourage peace talks. To me, this is but an olive branch to new forces coming into the big picture to pick and tell Kinshasa to talk under certain favourable conditions for you. Third, it alienates and intimidates your enemy so that you can easily take him down. Fourth, it asserts your authority and the zeal of seeing to it that what you want is achieved by all means. Generally, what you did is a PR strategy that your enemy has always embarked on.
Looking at our geopolitical stance, no side will win in this imbroglio. What’s been going on is but wastage of life and property knowing that there won’t be a winner. The conflict in DRC is not a two-person zero-sum game kind of equation. It is lose-lose situation shall the war go on. Again, it can be turned around and become a win-win situation.
Being under unipolar command currently, the dynamics of ‘wars of liberation’ have changed. Under the Cold War, it was easy to get backing from two antagonistic sides. Currently, the world is under one order. So too, you need to underscore that even the emerging powers especially China are talking to those with powers in their hands. It is cheap to do business with a government in power than supporting a group to take up power. Their interests are second to none. You can kindly refer to what’s going on in North Korea whereby China is openly siding with the international community thanks to safeguarding its interest and extending its tentacles. Also, the world is facing an economic crisis. It thus needs a break from war.
Even a few avenues of support especially from business interested sides and arms dealers does not suffice to make things look good on your side. Seeking peace is pivotal and the only way out of the impasse in DRC and the whole region at large.
I understand you’d like to paint your enemy with your own brush. Likewise, your enemy would like to do the same. Nobody has a soft spot in the heart for the other. This is what has oiled the cogs of your killing machines. Again, looking at the recent ‘self-handing over’ of your former enemy-turned ally, Bosco Ntaganda aka Terminator, chances are that he is going to spill the beans. This won’t do you good.
The sure means of getting out of this conflict safely is by means of round-table talks. You can take this to the bank - once you decide to sit down and discuss, support will come even from those you didn’t expect. At this level and time you’ll be able to achieve what many failed to achieve - everlasting peace as a means of developing your mineral-rich country.
I am saying this after looking at the history of conflicts in Africa. When I look at people like Charles Taylor, Laurent Gbagbo, Lubanga, Jean Pierre Bemba and others, I find that peace talks stand as the only viable and reliable means.
Sadly though, clinging to the barrel of the gun means committing more atrocities and tarnishing your already tarnished image more. The world is seeing your atrocities more vividly than the other side. Looking at how Eastern DRC is traumatized, methinks. You have the land but not the population. How can you have the people to support your legitimacy whilst what the people in the area have known is war and trauma, atrocities and poverty?
This conflict is sucking in many more players who obviously sympathize and cooperate with authorities in Kinshasa. Given that the UN has already authorized the take on you, believe you me, think about talking instead of fighting.
Let me wind up by inviting you to face the reality; and, if possible, seek conciliators out of political and diplomatic circles. Academics can do a good job to see to it that they bring three players namely authorities in Kinshasa, the International Community and M23. If you need that, just let me know so that I can shop around and put forth some proposals about who fits to take the task. I believe this is another hunch.

Tuwaunge mkono wakulima wa korosho walioamua kujikomboa
Si siri tena kuwa kondoo ameamka kiasi cha kumtembezea fisi mateke! Ingawa wakulima wa Tanzania wamekuwa wakitumika kama mtaji mkubwa wa kukiweka Chama Cha Mafisadi (CCM) madarakani, upepo umeanza kubadili. Hivi karibuni huko mkoani Lindi wakuliwa wa korosho waliamua liwalo na liwe. Waliamua kusema kwa herufu kubwa ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Vurugu zilitokea na nyumba kuchomwa moto huku serikali ikikirika kuwakamata iliowaita wachochezi wakati ni wapigania haki na ukombozi wa kweli. Hakika yale niliyoandika kwenye kitabu changu ambacho hata hivyo hakijapokelewa vizuri na watawala cha SAA YA UKOMBOZI yanaanza kutumia nikiwa kijana bado. Namshukuru Mungu na kuzidi kuhanikiza nikiwataka watanzania kusimama kidete na kidedea kuhakikisha tunawaondoa hawa nunda wala watu na manyang'au walitukalia kooni kwa muda mrefu. Inafurahisha kuwa habari hii sasa inaanza kupiga hodi kwenye vyombo vya kimataifa. SAA YA UKOMBOZI IMEWADIA TUSIMAME NA KUJIKOMBOA.

Angalia watawala wetu wanavyotula
Kuna taarifa kuwa viongozi wastaafu wanatengewa pesa nyingi kuliko baadhi ya wizara. Hii imefichuliwa na vyombo vya habari hivi karibuni. Wengi huwa tunajiuliza, kwanini watumishi wengine wa umma wanaostaafu wanaachwa wajifie huku viongozi na wake zao wakiendelea kutunyonya na kutanua huku sisi tukiteseka? Huu licha ya kuwa uroho na roho mbaya, ni ujambazi wa wazi unaofanywa na wanajiita wenye madaraka. Je ufisadi huu wa kimfumo ambao umegeuka ukoloni mamboleo ukitekelezwa na wakoloni weusi utakomeshwa na nani na lini kama siyo sisi na sasa? Je umma unaridhika na wizi huu wa mchana chini ya dhana ya viongozi wastaafu? Inashangaza na kusikitisha zaidi kukuta kwenye orodha ya viongozi wastaafu kuna watu kama Edward Lowassa ambaye aliachia madaraka bila kufikia muda unaopaswa kisheria ukiachia mbali kuondoka kwa kashfa iliyolisababisha taifa hasara ya mabilioni ya fedha. Inaumiza kukuta mijitu kama Benjamin Mkapa anayejulika wazi kujitwalia Machimbo ya Makaa ya Mawe ya Kiwira na mkewe aliyeliibia taifa kuendelea kuongezewa pesa itokanayo na kodi ya mlipa kodi maskini waliyemwibia. Je tumegeuka taifa la hovyo na kuridhika na hali hii? Tafakarini.

Doping even in animals!
We used to hear doping that used to involve humans who wanted to win and make more money. Nobody would risk thinking that animals would dope just like humans. We still remember the famous doping scandal involving cyclist Lance Armstrong. Recent reports have it that it came to light that in UK horses were introduced to drugs in order to win horse races.

Tunaadhimisha siku ya kuzaliwa Muungano au Mgongano?
Imetimu miaka 49 tangu mataifa ya Tanganyika na Zanzibar kuungana na kuzaa Tanzania. Hakika miaka 49 si haba. Je tunasherehekea Muungano au Mgongano? Je watanzania bado wana hamu na hamasa na Muungano? Je nani anafaidi Muungano ukiondoa watawala wa pande zote mbili? Maana ukisikia manung'uniko toka pande zote unashangaa mantiki ya kuendelea na kuwa na Muungano wenye kila aina ya migongano miongoni mwa wananchi wa pande mbili. Ilifikia mahali watu wa visiwani wakahisi kama watu wa bara wanawanyonya ingawa hawana cha kunyonya. Ilifikia mahali tukaanza kuitana majina ya machogo na upuuzi mwingine hata kusingiziana jinai.Kwa vile watanzania wanaanza kujitambua, kuna haja ya kuwasihi wauangalie upya Muungano ambao umegeuka kero. Blog hii ni shabiki wa umoja wa Afrika. Tofauti ni kwamba Umoja huu ujengwe na waafrika wenyewe badala ya watawala. Huwa nashangaa kuona Tanzania inavyopoteza muda na raslimali kujiingiza kwenye Jumuia ya Afrika Mashariki wakati huo huo ikishindwa kutatua kero za Muungano wake. Je watanzania tutaendelea kufanyiwa majaribio hadi lini? Wakati tukitafakari hali ya Muungano wetu, majibu tutakayopata yatusaidie kupinga kuingia kichwa kichwa kwenye Jumuia hasara ya Afrika Mashariki ambayo inatumiwa na nchi wanachama kutaka kutuibia ardhi na raslimali zetu. Haiingii akilini kwa nchi yenye ardhi nzuri na kubwa na raslimali kuungana na vijiinchi visivyo na lolote bali mzigo wa ongozeko la watu na watu wasio na ardhi.
KILA LA HERI NA TAFAKARINI.

Who’s Kibanda? Vs who’s Wasira?
(1).jpg)
.jpg)
Today we're interrogating the bunkum of who’s who especially in doing fatuous stuff of pointlessly self-dressing down. Nothing left me cheesed off like the Minister of State in the Presider’s Office Steve Wassira’s irresponsibly turbo- charged hoo-ha. He’s quoted recently defending the ever-tarnished Taifa Institute of Sabotage and Setbacks (TISS) after being alleged to have abducted and tortured Absalom Kibanda the Chair of TEF and Managing Editor of Habari Corporation (200) on March 5.
Out of the ordinary, Wassira went ballistic averring that Kibanda’s too small for TISS to abduct and torture. Kumbaya! He added that it’d have crossed his mind had those abducted and tortured been CHADEMA chair Freeman Mbowe or General Secretary Dr. Wilbrod Slaa. It is all-out disconcerting to note that a minister in the top office doesn't know that no institution in the hunk’s the mandate of torturing or harming anybody; be he small or big. Such careless and frozen remarks left many dismayed. No sane mind would risk thinking such a minister would ridiculously jabber that way. We’re still baffled. How can Wassira fail to know that all human beings are equal and are entitled to living without any harassment leave alone torture and abduction?
Wassira’s boneheadedness made many analysts draw a single conclusion that TISS does abduct and torture people save that it deals with bigwigs. Given that we've over four famous leaders whose deaths have remained a mystery, we now know who’s likely to be behind their demise. There’s a big secret Wassira knows that we don’t know. Does Wassira know who killed former PM Edward Sokoine who died in April 12, 1984?
Is TISS behind a sudden but suspicious death of Horace Kolimba in March 13, 1997? What of the death of then TISS Tsar, Lt Gen. Imran Kombe in June 30, 1996? Were those police alleged to have killed Kombe TISS’s agents or just flamed to save face? What of the death of Zakayo Wangwe in July 20, 2008? Wassira, if squeezed, may unravel the mysteries of those deaths.
Again, let’s answer the major question of who’s Wasira. He’s but a former NCCR-Mageuzi’s wizard of Oz currently a good cadre of CCM after returning from hibernation to NCCR-Mageuzi to do away from political cold. So too, Wasira’s a wino whose mouth lost touch with brain and reality. There’s no border between him and Pita Sheukamba aka Mr.Screw you aka F*ck you and Andulrahman Kinamna who said that opposition doesn’t like development while he’s accused of smuggling our animals and their products to Asia. Furthermore, Wasira’s a toff that sleeps Mjengoni and lies that it is because of medication. The other day another political wino, Jobless Nduguy, said that some heshimiwas do sniff bwimbwiz.
Indeed, Wassira’s a gruff dude known as Tyson who wrongly thinks is better than others especially by pointlessly accusing others of the scandals he himself commits.
As for Kibanda, is he a small person by Bongo’s standards? Don’t get me wrong. I don’t intend to create classes among Bongolalalanders however they’re always there. If Kibanda is small, nobody and useless as Wasira would like us to believe, why his boss, Jakaya Kikwete, went to Milpark Hospital in South Africa to wish him well? Kibanda might look small in the eyes of Wassira. In the eyes of our constitution, every citizen’s somebody. Apart from that, Kibanda’s an innocent person who earns his bread legally. He’s a professional whose works speak volume. So too, Kibanda, as a senior journalist, is a voice of voiceless. Above all, Kibanda nary proved to be stupid or crazy just like those vuvuzelas and dashers that blindly belittling him have time and again proved to be. I know Kibanda. He didn't live depending on lies like fake and double-faced politicians who can jump from one party to another not simply because they’re enjoying their constitutional rights but due to looking for green pastures. It is sad to hear Wassira condemning the same opposition that received him at the time he’s desperate after CCM refused him to stand for Member of Parliament in 1995. Kweli shukrani ya punda! Who knows? Given that Wassira can easily change, maybe in 2015 he’ll attack the same CCM the same way he’s currently attacking the opposition. If I were president Kikwete, I’d sack Wassira forthwith for embarrassing my government and me altogether.
Another bankrupt ‘do-gooder’ acting like a macaroni that left me stitched is Mad Moody Safe Khatib who said that Chadema’s laden with adulterous who should not go to Ikulu which he said is sacred. Is Kikwete safe hither? Isn't this better than thou? True, a baboon does not see its ass! If anything, this is the art of speaking without bothering to think. The mouth says this while the brain says that. Wameishiwa hawa.
Mbowe and Slaa shouldn't take Wassira’s utterance lightly but rightly. Who knows? Was Wasira trying to preempt what’s to come for them if not to intimidate them? Maybe, just maybe, Wassira still believe that TISS can torture even kill these leaders and get away with it as it is in the cases of Kibanda and Ulimboka or other mysterious deaths of Sokoine, Kolimba, Komba and Wangwe to mention but a few.
Today’s wisdom is a double quote. “Scarecrow: I haven't got a brain... only straw,” The wizard of Oz.
“How can you talk if you haven't got a brain? I don't know, but some people without brains do an awful lot of talking,” L. Frank Baum, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
