Je watanzania tunaelewa tunachofanya na tunachotaka?

Kashfa mbili za hivi karibuni zimenifanya nifikiri upya kuhusiana na mikakati madhubuti anayofanya rais John Pombe Magufuli. Kashfa hizi–yaani ile ya bandarini ambapo mita za kupimia mafuta hazijafungwa pamoja na wahusika kuhakikisha zingefungwa na ile ya watendaji wa Halmashauri ya mji wa Bukoba kutaka kuiba fedha ya waathirika wa tetemeko–zimenikatisha tamaa japo zimenifikirisha.

Kwa hali ilivyo ambapo kila mtu anataka kutumia ofisi ya umma kujitajirisha hata kama ni kuwa kuwauza watanzania, nashindwa kuelewa kama watanzania wanamuelewa vizuri rais Magufuli na harakati za kuwakomboa anazofanya. Inasikitisha na kukatisha tamaa; ingawa hatumshauri rais na watendaji wake wenye mapenzi mema na taifa kukata tamaa. Kilichojitokeza kwenye kashfa hizi mbili ni ushahidi kuwa watu wetu walio wengi hawajakubali kubadilika hadi wabadilishwe kwa nguvu. Na si hao tu. Hata ukiongea na watu wa kawaida mitaani waliozoea vya dezo vitokanavyo na mabaki ya chumo la mafisadi, wanamlalamikia Magufuli kwa kufanya maisha yao yawe magumu baada ya kukosa mabaki waliyozoea kutupiwa na kupwakia.

Tokana na tishio hili, tunatoa baadhi ya maangalizo ili kuweza kupambana na kadhia hii inahyotishia kulifuta taifa la Tanzania toka kwenye uso wa dunia.

Mosi, tunashauri rais na serikali yake aufumue na kuusuka mpya mfumo mzima wa uendeshaji wa taifa letu. Watu walishazoeshwa kuishi kihalifu bila kujua kuwa kuna maisha nje ya uhalifu. Hatuwezi kuendelea kuwa taifa la wahalifu, majambazi, wauza unga, vidokozi, wavivu, wababaishaji na wachumia tumbo. Hivyo, rais lazima aelekeze nguvu zake kwenye kuweka mfumo unaoweza kujitegemea kupambanana maovu badala ya kumtegemea mtu mmoja au kikundi cha watu. Wenzetu kwenye nchi zilizoendelea wamefanya hili. Hawategemei usongo au uzalendo wa rais au watu wake wa karibu bali mfumo wenye kanuni zinazoweza kujiendesha hata kama nchi itakuwa ikiongozwa na chizi.

Pili, hakuna njia ya kuufumua na kuufuma mfumo wa uendeshaji taifa letu unaoweza kufanikiwa bila kuwa na sheria na mamlaka yanayousadia katika kujiendesha. Hapa ndipo hitajio la kurejesha rasimu ya Katiba Mpya kama ilivyoandikwa na tume ya Jaji Joseph Sinde Warioba linapokuwa halikwepeki wala kuahirishwa. Kama kweli rais Magufuli amedhamiria kuiondoa Tanzania kwenye mikono ya uhalifu na ujambazi, atapaswa kupingana na msimamo wa chama chake wa kuua katiba mpya ambao ulitokana na viongozi waliokuwa madarakani wakati ule kuchelea kufikishwa mahakamani kwa uovu waliotenda.

Tatu, tunamshauri rais Magufuli abadili msimamo wake wa kuwalinda viongozi wastaafu wanaotuhumiwa kuifikisha nchi yetu hapa ilipo ima kwa uzembe au uovu wao wa kujitajirisha wao na jamaa zao haraka kwa kuwaumiza watu wetu. Hili si kuzua. Wanajulikana hata makosa waliyotenda yanajulikana karibia kwa watanzania wote.

Nne, tumekuwa tukipigia kelele sheria ya maadili ya utumishi wa umma bila kupata majibu. Bila kuwa na sheria ya maadili kwa utumishi wa umma rais anachofanya ni kujichosha kwa kutwanga maji kwenye kinu akitegemea kupata unga. Hatafanikiwa zaidi ya mikakati yake kuishia kuwa mbio za sakafuni ambazo mwisho wake unajulikana.

Tano, badala ya rais kupoteza muda na nguvu nyingi kupambana kama mtu binafsi, aelekeze nguvu zake kwenye kuujenga mfumo endelevu na wa uhakika usiotegemea mtu au kundi la watu. Kwa mfano, iundwe sheria ya kumtaka kila mtanzania si kutangaza mali zake tu bali kueleza namna alivyozipata. Kila binadamu anayo na anajua historia ya maisha yake. Matajiri wote tulio nao nchini walazimishwe kueleze historia za utajiri wao tena kwa maandishi yatakayotunzwa na kuhakikiwa kisheria ili kuangalia kama kuna namna ya uovu na uhujumu waliotendea taifa. Hatuwezi kuendelea na mfumo huu wa kijambazi bado tukajidanganya kuwa sisi ni kisiwa na taifa la amani. Amani haiwezi kuwepo bila haki kwa wote. Watanzania walio wengi hasa wale maskini wana hasira na serikali kutokana na kutumika kama koleo la kuchotea utajiri kwa wachache wakati wengi wakiendelea kuumia. Rais amesikika mara nyingi akisema kuwa anawapigania watanzania maskini. Je hili ni kweli wakati anaendelea kuwalinda wale waliosababisha huu umaskini anaodai kupambana nao? Huwezi ukapambana na umaskini sambamba na kuwalinda waliousababisha tokana na usimamizi wao mbaya wa mali na fedha za umma. Hapa ndipo hitajio la hata kusimamisha marupurupu na mafao ya viongozi wastaafu walioboronga linapokuwa haliepukiki kama kweli tunadhamiria kurejesha taifa letu kwenye mstari. Kuendelea kufanya hivyo si sawa na kutwanga maji tu bali kujenga daraja kuzuia maji wakati ukishuhudia yakijipitia bila kikwazo. Hii ni sawa na kutumia pakacha kuteka maji. Utaishia kuloa tu; na jua likipiga utakauka na kuchomwa moto tu.

Sita, tufanye kile ambacho wenzetu wameishafanya. Hivi karibuni kule nchini Brazil, rais Dilma Rousseff, alifukuzwa madarakani tena kwa si kwa makosa binafsi bali kushindwa kueleza ukweli kwa umma. Nchini Israel waziri mkuu wa zamani, Ehud Olmet alihukumiwa kwenda jela baada ya kugudulika kuwa alitumia madaraka yake vibaya. Nchini Georgia waziri mkuu wa zamani Ivane Merabishvili alihukumiwa miaka mitano jela kwa makosa ya jinai.

Kituko ni kwamba wakati wenzetu wakiwafukuza hata kuwafunga viongozi wao waliotenda uovu sisi tunawahukumu mawaziri wetu vifungo vya nje tena vya muda mfupi. Namna hii hatuwezi kurejesha Tanzania kwenye mstari. Ningekuwa Magufuli hata kesi za akina Basil Mramba na Daniel Yona zingerejerewa upya na kutoa adhabu zinazostahili. Sijui kama watanzania tunajua tunachoka.

Tukio la kinyama la mchovu mmoja kutobolewa macho baada ya kupora na kutupwa barabarani ili agongwe na magari limeudhi kijiwe hakuna mfano. Leo kila mwanakijiwe anaongelea unyama huu tena bila huruma wala kuchelea chochote. Anayeanzisha mjadala ni Kapende anayesema “jamani mnasemaje kuhusu tukio la mwenzetu kutobolewa macho kinyama na mnyama anayeendekezwa lupango badala ya kuskopiniwa naye? Mwenzenu hadi usawa huu sijaelewa mantiki ya kumhifadhi bazazi na habithi huyu. Je hii ni haki kwa mhanga ambaye maisha yake yameharibiwa milele. Hakuna kinachokera kama kuona mhusika akiendelea kuona, kutabasamu, kula na kulala bure badala ya kutendewa kama alivyotenda.”

Mgoshi Machungi anajibu “kama yeye aimskopion mwenzake hadi akapoteza macho, kwanini naye asiskopieniwe ii aonje adha ya kazi na matokeo ya unyama wake? Huyu angekamatwa na kufungwa kamba na kufanyiwa kitu mbaya kabua ya kukatwa mkono, mguu mmoja na kutobolewa macho yote halafu akaachiwa aonje utamu wa maisha. Ingekuwa Ushoto tingemtoa na kumtoa hadi anyatuke loho.”

Sofia Lion Kanungaembe anamchomekea Mgoshi “hata mimi sina huruma na mnyama huyu. Naungana na wale wanaotaka atobolewe macho ili haki itendeke na liwe somo kwa maskopioni wengine ambao hawajakamatwa.”

Msomi Mkatatamaa anapinga wazo la jicho kwa jicho. Anasema “je kama wote tutaamua kufanya jicho kwa jicho tutakua na vipofu wangapi kayani? Isitoshe, huyu jamaa hajapatikana na hatia na kuhukumiwa na mahakama kama sheria inavyosema. Lazima tuheshimu utawala wa sheria na kuhakikisha mhusika anashughulikiwa kisheria na kuepuka kutenda yale tunayopinga na kuchukia. Je kama scorpion akitobolewa macho, hili litamrejeshea macho mhanga? Bila shaka jibu ni hapana. Hatuwezi kuwa kaya ya makatili tukawa salama ingawa tunao maskopioni kibao ambao unyama wao tumeamua kuupuuzia au kuuvumilia kama jamii.”

Naungana nawe Msomi hapa. Nadhani tusilaumu hawa vijana. Unategemea nini midawa na bangi vinapohalalishwa kiasi cha kuwabangua akili? Nani wazazi wao kama siyo sisi? Nani viongozi wao kama siyo wao? Nani wanalinda mitandao yao kama si ndata? Unategemea nini kaya inaporuhusi kila mchovu kuchuma bila kutoa maelezo? Nadhani hapa ndipo mzizi wa maovu, unyama, rushwa, ufisadi na ubinafsi ulipojichimbia. Ukateni basi badala ya kupapasa juu juu. Kamateni waliolea kadhia hii tokana na ima ujinga au uroho wao au sababu zozote ziwazo badala ya kuwaenzi na kuenzi jinai yao,” anajibu Mijjinga huku akiwasonya hao anaowatuhumu kuharibu kaya yetu.

Mipawa anapinga, “mnaongelea kufuata sheria na kuwa mtuhumiwa. Kwani yeye alifuata sheria alipofanya unyama huu au aliidharau? Sheria inapaswa imdharau kwanza apewe stahiki yake. Naona huyu abanwe nyeti zake aseme lini alijifunza huu unyama, kwanini, ameufanya kwa muda gani. Ashughulikiwe hadi awataje washirika zake hata wahanga wa unyama wake. Vinginevyo mascorpion ambao hawajatiwa nguvuni wataendelea kunyanyasa raia wema kana kwamba hakuna lisirikali. Tukatae uskopioni huu na tuhakikishe tuchimbua mizizi yote ya unyama huu.”

Mzee Maneno anachomekea, “yakhe mie nshangaa. Hivi hawa ndata wetu walikuwapi hadi huyu habithi afanye unyama bila kuchukuliwa hatua wala kushughulikiwa vilivo? Je hawa walipwa kwanini ; na waliponkamata kwanini wasimpe dawa yake huko huko korokoroni yakesha watu wakaendelea na mengine? Kwani hawakusikia rahis alivosema kuwa hawana haja ya kumwachia jambazi silaha au huyu hakuwa nayo wakati kila ntu ajua anayo hadi sasa?”

“Ami umeniacha hoi. Hiyo silaha gani unayoongelea ambayo sisi hatuioni wala haijaonyeshwa kwa pilato?” anauliza Mchunguliaji aliyekuwa bize akisoma gazeti.

“Fumbo nfumbie njinga mweleve ang’amua ati. Wataka nsema nkubwa alimaanisha uhai au nin?” Mpemba anajibu huku akicheka.

Kanji akwanyua mic “veve fikiria kama mimi. Iko chukia hii jana na kama nafanyia kitu baya mimi haiko pinga. Ile nafanyia kijana nyingine bay asana sana dugu yangu. Mimi naona ile kijana natoa jicho nalia chozi kuba kweli kweli. Kama data naamua basi maliza yeye ili ionje tamu ya kazi nafanyia hii mtu maskini.”

Mheshimiwa Bwege naye hajivungi; anasema “nakubaliana na mzee Maneno kuwa huyu hayawani ana habari na ushahidi muhimu unaoweza kutusaidia kujua ukubwa wa tatizo ili kulishughulikia vilivyo na kunusuru maisha ya watu wema na wasio na hatia. Kwa kuanzia angetobolewa macho ili aweze kusema vizuri. Lazima abanwe ili aeleze ukweli wote ili tuondokane na kadhia hii mara moja. Nadhani hata ndata kuna wanachojua ambacho kiliwafanya wachelewe kubaini unyama huu kwa muda ulipotendeka. Sijui kama aliyetobolewa macho angekuwa ndata kama huyu scorpion angekuwa hai akibembelezwa kwa kulala na kula bure akisherehekea ushindi wa unyama wake. Kweli kaya yetu ni Danganyika aka Bongolala.”

Kijiwe kikiwa kinanoga si likapita karandinga la magereza likimpeleka scorpion lupango. Acha tulitoe baruti ili tumtoe na kumtoboa macho afaidi kama alivyowafanyia wenzake! Kama siyo ndata kutuzuia mkarandinga ukaishia, huenda jamaa angekuwa kipofu kama siyo maiti kwa sasa. Hivyo, tutoe onyo kwa masikopioni ambao hawajakamatwa kukaa mkao wa kuliwa. Hatutakubali tukio jingine kama hili; kama noma na iwe noma. Wenye masikio wamesikia; na wenye macho wamesoma.

Baba tena wa kaya, nakusalimu kwa heshima na taadhima. Japo najua hutajibu, naamini unanisikia. Japo huweza kupokea salamu zangu, bado nakuheshimu tena kuliko wengine walio hai ambao uliwakingia kifua hadi ukaambiwa umebeba kinyago cha mpapure. Na kweli, kilikuwa kinyago cha mpapure ile mbaya. Maana kilitutenda tena vibaya. Kwani kilitupapura si haba hadi tukaparurika na kupigika huku kikiendelea kujisifu na kujifanya kijuaji wakati ni kilaza cha kawaida tokana na matendo yake machafu. Kinyago kile kiliuza kila kitu ulichosimamia hadi na chenyewe kikajibinafsisha kwa wachukuaji kilichowapa jina zuri la wawekezaji. Hata hivyo baba, Mungu si Mlevi;kwani alikipiga laana kikaondoka kimechafuka ile mbaya. Hata siku hizi sikisikii kikipayuka na kujivuna kama wakati ule kilipokuwa kwenye ulaji kikasahau kuwa kuna kesho tena yenye mazonge.

Sasa ni miaka 17 tangu baba yetu mpendwa uliyependa taifa kuliko hata familia yako, Mzee mwenyewe Mchonga mwana wa Burito tangu uondoke kimwili duniani. Wengi wanakukumbuka hasa wale wanyonge uliowajali na kuwasemea ingawa wenye kusaka ulaji hukusanifu kwa kutembelea kaburi na familia yako pale wanapohitaji tafu tokana na umaarufu na utaua wako usiomithalika uliotokana na uadilifu na upendo wake wa dhati. Tunakukumbuka baba hasa walevi na wasio nacho. Japo Mchonga umeondoka kimwili, kiroho tuko nawe daima hasa wanyonge uliowapigania na wengine kuwakomboa hadi wakawa wazito japo wanakusanifu.

Tokana na kuyoyoma miaka mingi tangu uondoke, ngoja nikupe taarifa muhimu japo chache.

Kwanza, wale ulioamini wangevusha walevi wako, waliwazamisha na kuwauza kwa udoho udoho na vitu vya hovyo kama vile majumba na akaunti kwenye mabenki. Zile nyumba ulizotaifisha tokana na kujengwa na njuluku za walevi, nyingi zilitwaliwa chini ya kidhabi uliyempa tafu ukiamini ni mwema usijue shetani anatamwingilia na kumuacha mchafu. Lile jina la Mr Clean ulilompa liligeuka kuwa kinyume. Sasa ametokomea kwenye sahau ya kisiasa kiasic ha kuona aibu asijue la kufanya. Viwanda vilipigwa mnara tena kwa bei ya kutupwa. Ni sasa tu tunapoanza alifu na kijiti baada ya kuja kwa Daktari Joni Kanywaji Makomeo ambaye anaonekana kueleewa somo lako barabara.

Baada ya kuondoka kwa aibu wale uliowakingia kifua na kuwanadi, walichukua wale uliowaita wezi na mafisadi walioonyesha ukwasi wa kutisha hadi wakawa na jeuri ya kukodisha pipa kwenda kuchukua fomu za kugombea ulaji. Kama kile kinyago cha mpapure nao walituumiza kweli kweli. Kwani, badala ya kuuza kaya waliigawa kwa mabwana zao. Baada ya kutimka, tulitegemea wanyee debe Keko au Segerea; lakini mzito anaonekana kuwakingia kifua akidhani ni huruma na si hujuma. Kuingia kwa bazazi huyu na genge lake kulinajisi na kuibaka kaya hakuna mfano. Tulishuhudia kashfa kama vile EPA, Escrow, UdA na madude mengine ya kutisha. Je unaweza kuamini kuwa kaya ilifikia mahali pa kuendeshwa kwenye autopilot kwa miaka ipatayo kumi? Ni juzi tu tuligundua kuwa kumbe pale bandarini mita za mafuta, flow meters zilifungwa kiasi cha weze kuiingia bila kulipiwa kodi? Kama haikutosha, kidhabi huyu aliizunguka dunia hadi akaiitwa Vasco da Gama, yule habithi wa kireno aliyezunguka dunia akipora na kuharibu ustaarabu wa walevi kila alipotia mguu.

Ticha Mchonga, tena kabla sijasahau, elimu uliyoanzisha na kupigania nayo ilibakwa ile mbaya hadi kufikia wazito na walevi wa kada ya chini kughushi vyeti vya kitaaluma. Kwa sasa kaya yako inasifika dunia kwa kuwa na vihiyo na vilaza wengi waitwao madaktari wakati walikimbia umande.

Mambo hayakuishia hapo. Maadili uliyoanzisha yaliishia kuwa madili ambapo kila mwizi aliweza kujiibia kwenye kaya iliyogeuzwa shamba la bibi. Hiyo mosi. Pili, waliibuka matajiri wa ghafla bin vu ima baada ya kuuza mibwimbwi au kutumia vyeo vya marafiki na wengine wazazi wao huku walevi wakizidi kupigika. Siku hizi si ajabu kuona kibaka akiabudiwa na kuitwa mheshimiwa wakati ni mhalifu. Ama kweli, tunazimiss zama zako za uwajibikaji na maendeleo. Hata hivyo, good news, ni kwamba dokta Kanywaji anajitahidi kuwabana ingawa amegoma kubadili mfumo. Kwa sasa kila kitu kinategemea usongo wake. Wenye akili japo walevi tunahoji; Inawezekanaje akafanikikwa kuirejesha kaya yako bila kufumua na kuufuma upya mfumo zandiki na mbovu uliopo. Tumempigia kelele arejesha Katiba Mpya hadi makoo yanauma. Hata hivyo, hatutachoka hadi kieleweke.

Mwisho, yule rafiki yake kidhabu uliohoji ukwasi wake, alitimkia upingaji, akagombea ulaji na kupigwa chini. Yuko huko akipiga kelele na kuzidi kuubomoa upingaji uliochanganyikiwa na kujichanganya.

Nimalizie kwa kukutaarifu kuwa bi mkubwa wako, Mary, bado anadunda japo uzee unapiga hodi. Tunaendelea kumuenzi na kumheshimu kama maza wetu. Nakutakia uendelee kulala salama huko uliko ila tunakukumbuka sana baba yetu hadi unafikia kuwa na nguvu na ushawishi kuliko walio hai.

The synopsis of the book

The title: Africa Reunite or Perish, 2015.

Author: Nkwazi Nkuzi Mhango

Publishers: Langaa RCPIG, Bameda, Cameroon

Themes: Economics, Politics, History, Conflict, Development and Unification.

Africa Reunite or Perish is a multi-theme scholarly tome of 448 pages. The book is organised in 22 major chapters. The book addresses the issues surrounding the reunification of Africa as the only viable means of reclaiming its lost glory. All is based on author’s belief that Africa was naturally united. Thus, it was divided and disunited during the partition of and scramble for Africa in the Berlin Conference (1884-85) which became the harbinger of colonialism and neocolonialism to Africa.

First, the author outlines; and thereby tackles various problems that Africa faces in its current division that would be resolved through reunification of Africa aimed at four major important achievements namely, returning Africa to its golden era where it ontologically was before colonial era which the author views as the source of all problems that Africa faces today.

Secondly, the author provides the model in which Africa can cut down unnecessary expenditures such as military, visas, printing currencies, maintaining embassies among African countries, having many presidents, passports and the likes.

Thirdly, the volume seeks to show how Africa can do away with dependency after being reunified by encouraging more cooperation among African countries (that will become provinces of the new country of Africa) in almost everything to include, inter alia, trade, research, education and defense.

Fourthly, the volume offers a model of how Africa can be run after being reunited. The author offers examples of Canada, Russia and the United States whose confederacies help them to avoid, inter alia, spending money purchasing weapons for fear of one another as it is for colonially-created modern African states.

Fifthly, the volume recommends that the reunification of Africa will not only give it an edge to play an important role internationally by enabling it to assert and renegotiate its place internationally but will also make Africa prosperous due to the fact that Africans will be able to share the experiences, potentials and aspirations collectively. The author believes that the unification of Africa is more productive for Africa than regional groupings that have kept Africa divided pointlessly. Moreover, the author challenges African weak and divided states to consider the fact that rich countries in Europe are now uniting in order to become stronger. The author wants African countries born out of the Berlin Conference to stop doing colonial dirty laundry by refusing to go back to a unitary Africa they used to be before being divided so as to be weakened for perpetual exploitation. He warns that going on with the current superstructure is detrimental for Africa and its future.

Others things that the volume addresses are dependency, big and do nothing government, unnecessary armies and Africa-born brand of democracy that will enable a reunited country of Africa to run its business based on its shared aspirations, cultures and goals.

AFRICA REUNITE OR PERISH

The books start off by revisiting the history of Africa before the coming of colonial powers the time under which Africans fed and ruled themselves. Further, the book admonishes and challenges African academics to rewrite, defend and present Africa’s true history instead of relying on the one those colonial agents miswrote misconstrued and mispresented. In addressing this golden era, the author challenges those who assert that Africans were uncivilised and sick so as to need a help from European colonialists. The author cites an example of how healthy Africans were so as to fit for being shipped to the Americas as slaves after trying other races and failed. In revisiting pre-colonial Africa, the book seeks to debunk the myth that Africa cannot depend on itself while it did so for many years. The author challenges Africans to put their house in order so as to use Africa’s abundant resources for the development of Africa.

After revisiting the pre-colonial Africa, the author explores the colonial Africa and the way it negatively and perpetually affected Africa. He revisits the role various local and foreign agents played in paving the way for the colonisation of Africa. From there, the author, explores post-colonial Africa by addressing the role the independence such African countries attained; and the way it ended up reinforcing dependency and division after failing to reunite Africa as the first Ghanaian president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah espoused. Importantly, the author addresses the role former colonial masters played in either installing kleptocratic despots or overthrowing the newly-independent governments that seemed to be thorny to colonialism.

Nonetheless, the volume chastises the African Union by showing its failures in reunifying Africa not to mention maintaining the division under the auspices of keeping presidency that the author wants abolished so as to have one president of Africa who wages enormous but checked powers like those of the president of the US.

To address Africa’s traps, the volume addresses economic, political and social consequences either of colonialism, division or individuality that Africa faces currently by connecting them to the coming of new rising power that are now seeking to exploit Africa in the same way Western countries did. The author warns of the second scramble of Africa based on resources extracted under the supervision of local elites he calls black colonialists.

Economically

The author wants Africa to have its model of economy based on shift paradigm which will enable Africa to produce what it consumes and consumes what it produces. The author equates Africa to a hen that produces eggs full of protein to end up being fed chaff. The author goes further to expose what he calls agro-colonialism under which some African countries are leasing fertile soil to foreign countries to produce food for their people as a security measure while Africans are either going with empty stomach, dying of malnutrition of importing food. Here the author warns against the danger posed by the so-called cash crops which he calls crash and colonial crops due to the fact that they depend on one foreign market and they cannot be consumed locally.

Politically

The volume espouses fast track reunification of Africa as it was in the US in order to avoid local and foreign machinations that kept Africa divided. He cites two models namely the fast track that Dr. Nkrumah espoused and piecemeal one that Tanzania’s first president Mwl. Julius Nyerere espoused so as to become a barrier to Nkrumah’s. The author condemns the culture of begging and mismanaging Africa’s resources currently and former rulers calculated so to make Africa more dependent than at any time in its history. He touches on another culture he calls globetrotting African rulers like under the pretext of soliciting aid while at the same time the let their countries be robbed either through capital flights, bad investment and lack of collecting taxes not to mention embezzling and squandering public funds. To avoid this, the author suggests that the president of a reunited Africa should not be above the law as it currently is in many African countries. Furthermore, the author recommends that a reunited Africa should build strong institutions but not strong men. To make sure that Africa is truly and healthily reunited, the author suggests that the current 54 countries should be commuted to province or regions of one unitary Country of Africa whose headquarters should be based on proximity and service provision; and name should be agreed upon.

Socially

The author proposes that Africa should go back to its cultures that enabled Africans to live in harmony as one thing by shunning those that divided them. He touches on the importance of belief, identity and ideology and the way they weaken and divided Africa along sectarian divides. I so doing, the author recommends that Africa needs to reinvent its people so as to competently take their destiny in their hands. Furthermore, the author explores the importance of history as a tool for emancipation. He castigates the culture of treasuring colonial effigies and legacies by revering them while they are the same tools colonialists used to divide and weaken Africa for perpetual exploitation. For example, the author refers to the so-called explorers, missionaries and merchants as criminals whose effigies must be either burned or pulled down. Further, the author proposes that Africa must teach its own syllabi instead of the current ones that traumatise and brainwash young people so as to become the shadows of themselves mentally something denies them self-awareness and the edge to liberate their continent. The author takes the approach of deconstructionist.

General framework of the book

Despite being a driving force in natural resources, Africa has never benefitted from its immense natural resources. Instead, she it has become a backyard compared to other continents–especially Europe–that have benefitted greatly and tremendously but unscrupulously from Africa. However, Africa has never been taken seriously in international affairs, be they political or economic. Refer to the headline Africa a hopeless continent (Economist, 13May,2000). African has always been relegated to the role of a supplier of raw materials and a consumer of processed goods from abroad but not a significant player. This is because of many reasons, among which, are colonial legacies, corruption, imperialism, bad governance, dependence, begging, and lack of committed, organized and visionary leadership. And above all, Africa has never taken itself seriously either by its own people the world.

In this volume, the author is trying to add to or lay down philosophical foundations on how Africa can turn things around and recapture her lost ( which is the name of another coming volume) glory which will enable it to play a great role in international affairs. Laying philosophical foundations is one thing; and putting them into actions is a whole new game. The volume asks some imperative questions; and thereby gives some answers to them among which the major ones are the issues of the reunification and recalibration of Africa as a society of people. All will depend on Africans themselves to see to it that they need to move from the awkward situation they are in by thinking outside the box. The author believes that there is nothing impossible as far as pulling Africa from the traps of desperation and the abjection are concerned. Among other things, the author singles out African rulers as an obstacle to the reunification of Africa due to their myopic, backward-looking vision based on their personal interests. To the author, African rulers are but black colonialists who prefer divide-and-rule strategy as an extension of political and cultural pointillism as it was laid down by colonial monsters.

Furthermore, this volume explores and unpacks some nuggets on colonial legacies based on unimaginable economic exploitation, and among other things, but not limited to, the lack of political will and strategic underpinnings for African rulers to reunify Africa so that it can competently and equitably participate in international affairs. Instead of thinking about development as something for African rulers to latch on, they purposely and myopically decided to depend on corruption, blackmailing and begging instead of creating strategies for developing their continent. They purposely and willingly decided to become a laughing stock.

African Reunite or Perish attempts to demystify some myths colonialists and their agents concocted that have perseverated for a long in order to make everybody believe that Africa is a doomed, diseased, underdeveloped, and above all, a terrace for others to plunder as they deem fit. Africa’s perpetual exploitation is done in conjunction with what the author categorises as home-grown-black colonialists who, in a sense, are the major stumbling blocks against the reunification, reinvention and the development of Africa. Indeed, Africa needs to get out of this no-win stance.

More importantly, the author espouses the deconstruction of the myths and traps Africa has been in since the introduction of slavery and colonialism topped up with neocolonialism. Arguably, the author wants Africa to do away with chicken-like behaviour or unnecessary dependence by producing what it cannot eat and eats what it cannot produce. Among solutions the author suggests are: Africa must make sure that it invest heavily on its people, produce what it needs and above all, be reunified so as to have one voice and stance in international affairs.

Secondly, Africa must be reunited in order to form a robust force that must agitate for the redress resulting from the evils and sufferings of slavery and colonialism.

Trading among African countries is another suggested solution which aims at creating wealth and jobs for Africans. This will help Africans to do away with colonial mentality of preferring to trade with foreign countries by shying away from their African counterparts. The author is very sanguine that the reunification of Africa, shall Africans see the other side of the coin is likely to turn things around quickly and permanently. There is still a future for Africa shall she put its house in order. However, it must be underscored that Africa still faces a lot of obstacles in reaching its true reunification to the tune of what it was before 1884 when colonial powers met in Berlin demarcate and divided Africa as a means of perpetually weakening and exploiting it. The author thinks that clinging onto Berlin-created-and-superimposed borders, under the doctrine of sovereignty which draws its legality from the Peace of Westphalia 1648, is itself a new type of colonialism that black colonialists seem to have bought into. The de-demarcation of Africa, aimed at reunification, is preferred to regional groupings which have failed. So, too, the author espouses fast track reunification of Africa as opposed to step-by-step one. The division of Africa was done in a fast track manner. So should the reunification.

Moreover, the author espouses radical change in that African youths–who are major casualties and victims of chicken way of doing things and all others interested in the reunification of Africa–should start the move of reunifying Africa through civil disobedience based on crossing artificial borders of their states so as to force rulers to embark on this noble journey. Due to the ruthlessness of some police officials in many African countries, such a move will succeed if youths in the continent form a movement that will help to coordinate and organise their actions and movement. So, too, such a movement, apart from being the mouthpiece of African youths, must have networks and facilities to support any exodus of the people once the move is started in any African country. Such a movement is likely to succeed. If criminal gangs dealing with human trafficking in many African countries have succeeded why such legal and logical movement should fail?

Essentially, this volume aims at reminding the hoi polloi of the importance of their power shall they act together for the reunification of Africa which means their bright future as a people. If anything, the reunification of Africa has super importance compared to anything that Africa has ever attempted to do to free itself from the vicious circle of miseries and impertinence it has always been in. The reunification of Africa means true emancipation of Africa. However, the reunification of Africa should not be taken simply as the magic bullet, a quick fix or a fix-all medicine. It will have its challenges just like any other thing made by humans. Again, compared to what Africa has been going through, the reunification of Africa is more of the panacea than a mere experiment. Again, instead of trusting snakes in the grass, Africans themselves need to take control of the reunification of Africa. Africa should not exclude some Western thinkers and academics that refused to bow before lies and bigotry of demonising Africa. Instead, they decided to travel a less travelled road by deciding to speak out without fearing what would happen to them. These are better than our rulers who are in bed with colonial monsters. This volume purposely uses the term ruler or rulers instead of leader or leaders due to the fact that after the death of Nelson Mandela, Africa ceased to have a leader. So, it should be noted that a leader leads and whenever those he leads feel that he/she should exit he/she does so humbly. To the contrary, rulers rule the way they deem fit even when those they rule become tired of them; they lord it over them so as to soldier on ass opposed to the will of the constituency.

Africa’s major challenge andmodel

With the land mass of 30,221,532 km2, Africa is indeed colossal continent second after Asia that sits on 44,579,000 km². So, governing and running Africa is an enormous task which perhaps can intimidate. Again, if Russia with its size of 17,075,200km² which is over a half of Africa in size can stand as a strong state why is it impossible for Africa? Why is it possible for the Unites States of America (US) with its 9,629,091km²to become one country or China with its landmass of 9,596,960 km² but not for Africa? If need be, we need to go to these countries and learn how they were able to become single but humongous entities so that we can do it for the better future of our people. Looking at how small Africa’s population is compared to China or India, we fear nothing. If India and China are able to govern such humungous population, why is it impossible for Africa? It is sheer fear and ignorance geared by individuality and narrow views of the big picture that are curtailing Africa from being reunited for its great and bright future. Again, it is upon Africans to decide to take such bold and emancipatory steps or remain in miseries wantonly and hopelessly. The reunification of Africa will trip the current unnecessary layers of administration that are almost reciprocated almost in all African countries small and bigger. Africa has many lossmaking and unnecessary and bigger governments in all African countries.

The author postulates, therefore, that after reunifying Africa, African countries must share power equally and equitably by establishing departmental headquarters in the current states that, as noted herein above, will become Africa’s provinces for administrational matters. Africa needs to have one central and powerful authoritative government that will command and control everything just like it is in the US. This unitary and powerful government will act as Africa’s sole guarantor and representative before the international community the same way Russian or US’s governments do. Given that Africa has already established her infrastructures and commanding centres in the current countries, what is wrong say that the current capital cities become the headquarters of some department or provinces or regions? For instance, we can say that Addis Ababa or Kampala or any city depending on accessibility for service provision and consensus on appointing such headquarters becomes the capital of Africa while other cities such as Johannesburg, Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, Cairo and other many more act as satellites or independent headquarters of say the Africa Central Bank (ACB), the Africa Central Department of Defense (ACDD), the Africa Central Harbours Authorities (ACHA) The Supreme Court of Africa (SCA), the Africa Central Airport Authorities (ACAA), Africa Central Transport Authorities (ACTA) and many other departments that we will be envisaged and agreed upon having. I have mentioned above cities not just because they are better or suitable candidates for the purposes or department proposed. It is an example of giving a framework of how the mega Reunited States of Africa (RAS) can look like and operate with its intersectionality and complexity.

Emphasis

Some African thinkers, especially Nyerere the first president of Tanzania, wanted the process of unifying–not reunifying Africa however they mean the same with different degrees of magnitudes–to be done step by step while Kwame Nkrumah the first president of Ghana wanted it to be done in a fast track. These two gentlemen despite having the same dream, they had different way of realizing it. They wanted to unite Africa as if is she was naturally far apart while actually the difference is the same. This is why this volume uses reunification instead of unification due to the fact that Africa was naturally united continental country like Australia or Greenland. So, what colonial monsters did was dividing or disuniting it. This is why the main theme of this volume has strictly been the reunification of Africa but not the unification. Logically, unification is about independent entities.

The author recommends Nkrumah’s approach on the issue to Nyerere’s due to the nature of how the division and partition of Africa was carried out, fast track but not piecemeal one. The author rises a vital issue that Africa was partitioned and divided in a fast-track manner, it, as well, therefore, should be reunified in the same manner in order to avoid unnecessary obstacles such as Western sabotage and more divisions. The author goes a mile ahead postulating that–if need be–Africa should be reunified by force shall some countries resist doing so the same way it was divided, demarcated, invaded and occupied. Africa will not be the first to use force for the good of her people. Even the United States of America was unified in a fast track manner and–of course–by force under the barrel of the gun. When this was done, many faulted it. However, the same are now reaping the rewards of the unification of the US that made it mightier and stronger.

Another reason of espousing fast-track reunification is the fact that the step-by-step model has already been experimented for over sixty years with minimal or no success. On the one hand, since independence, there is only one union that has stood the test of time despite having its challenges and weakness. This is none other than the union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar that resulted into the United Republic of Tanzania (URT) that was championed and created by Nyerere as a model and an exampli gratia. On the one hand, there is the union between Senegal and Gambia that formed Senegambia that did not prevail not to mention the secession of other countries such as Eritrea, South Sudan and the fragmentation of Somalia. So, too, regional integration has been so slow and without offering any expected viable results. This being said, author finds that a fast-track reunification of Africa more viable and appealing than step-by-step one.

So, too, the author co postulates that Africa ought to learn from the confederacy of the United States America, the most powerful nation on earth currently. This is not a bad thing given that even Europeans who invaded and occupied Americas learned this art of confederacy from the Natives of the Americas. For, US’s confederacy was copied from the Iroquois confederacy that included the nations of Seneca Onondagas, Cayuga, Oneidas and Mohawks. Therefore, it is not a bad or a new idea to copy such an idea given that by adopting it, Africa will forge ahead. The author also thinks that there was a sort of confederacy in Africa which enhanced Africa’s peaceability before the coming of colonial monsters. This is supported by the fact that there was no large-scale war among Africans like it was in Europe and partly Asia.

The author also recommends civil disobedience–shall African rulers keep on resisting the idea this time– which may make the dream of reunifying Africa come true. This approach is more feasible and practical than staying aside and look as if the victims have nothing to do with the situation they are in.

Striking questions

The major questions that the author poses are that if all Africans who want or decide to move across the borders what message can such civil disobedience send to African rulers and the world? Suppose another big chunk of population namely women, buys into this even if it cannot move like youths due to their traditional roles in the patriarch system governing the world today? Shall our rulers resist this, youths and all victims have no choice but to cogently reunite Africa so as to pull themselves out of the miseries they have faced since independence. It is in and upon them to weigh things and see what works for them. Thus, they should choose to support or oppose the status quo. However, supporting the status quo is but a suicidal move. Notably, it needs the courage of the mad for Africa to keep on doing the same madness she has been doing under colonial division. More emphasis and challenge are for youths to reorganise themselves and move across their borders to reunify Africa forthwith. This can be possibly and easily done through offering supports to each other after the move commences. Again, this movement should be as massive as possible so that the authorities in the countries they will enter should not have enough facilities to incarcerate them. This goes hand in hand with their upkeep when they decided to move from one country. To succeed, youths must have some organizations to cater for such people after they arrive in a particular country. Through such a movement, intermarriage and exchange of experiences and expertise can be gained. If anything, such an act can act as the first step to the reunification of Africa.

Therefore, the surest way of emancipating Africa and its people is to deconstruct and reconstruct almost everything. Our experience and resolution to propel Africa to the future are but big assets that will help us realise our dream. True, the surest way of moving ahead for Africa is one and only one, the reunification of Africa. Notably, this less travelled road is not rosy and spiffy. It is thorny, bumpy and very treacherously long. So, those expecting a soft ride and trip through a romantic and rosy road should know from the outset that the task ahead of us is very challengingly huge and tough. We, therefore, need to be courageous and daring to see to it that we cross over to where we want to be. God bless Africa and her people. However, it is important to note that God blessed Africa since she was created. If we do not reunify her, we are poised to suffer even more. Africa, reunite or perish.

Magufuli kugawa ardhi ya umma HAPANA HAPANA

October 17, 2016, 6:06 am

≪ Previous: The window into my book: Africa Reunite or Perish

Akifungua kiwanda cha Salim Bakhresa huko Mkuranga hivi karibuni, rais John Pombe Magufuli alikaririwa akitoa zawadi ya ardhi kwa Bahkresa. Hili halikubaliki kwani nchi si mali ya Magufuli; ni mali ya watanzania tena wale maskini.Unampaje ardhi bure mfanyabiashara tajiri bure wakati alishatengeneza faida aendelee kutengeneza faida wakati kuna watanzania wengi hawana ardhi na ni maskini?

Haiwezekani kila anayemfurahisha rais lazima amzawadie tena kwa mali ya umma? Bakhresa si ombaomba wala maskini. Leo atatoa zawadi ya ardhi kwa Bakheresa kwa vile kamfurahisha. Kesho atatoa kwa Singasinga huku watanzania wakiendelea kuwa maskini. Japo mimi si mshauri wa uchumi wa rais, wazo lake halina tija kiuchumi. Hiyo ardhi yenye ukubwa wa hekari maelfu aliyomzawadia Bakhersa kwa sababu anazojua lazima inunuliwe na si vinginevyo. Nasema haya kama msomi na mtu mwenye kujua uchumi na mtanzania mwenye uchungu na nchi yangu na mkereketwa wa utawala bora na wa sheria unaozingatia usawa na kanuni za uendeshaji wake. Kwanza, si fikra za biashara kutoa kitu chenye thamani tena mali ya umma maskini bure. Pili, ardhi husika si mali binafsi ya Magufuli. Tatu, ni ubaguzi kwa wawekezaji wengine ambapo wengine wanalipia ardhi wakati wengine wakipewa bure. Rais Magufuli ajitahidi kufanya mambo kutokana na jazba au mihemko itokanayo na matukio.

Nne, rais hana sababu ya kuwabembeleza wafanyabiashara wawe wawekezaji wa ndani au nje. Badala yake ajenge mazingira safi na wezeshi ya uwekezaji. Chema chajiuza na kibaya chajitembeza. Najua Magufuli ni binadamu na si malaika, ana mapungufu sawa na binadamu yoyote. Kwa hili la kugawa ardhi ya umma amekosea; lazima abadilike na kukubali ushauri wa kitaalamu. Na hili si suala la kupenda wala kujiamria. Lazima tujifunze kufuata sheria. Hata kitendo chake cha kuachia sukari ya Bakhresa kinatia shaka. Je kwanini sukari husika ilikamatwa? Je ilikamatwa kwa sababu Magufuli alitaka ikamatwe au kuna sheria na tararibu zilivunjwa? Je rais hapa anatoa mfano gani kwa walio chini yake? Hii maana yake ni kwamba afisa wa ukaguzi mpakani au bandarini na TRA akifurahishwa na mtu aliyefanya mambo kinyume, anaweza kumwachia kwa sababu amemfurahisha. Leo rais atafurahishwa na Bakhresa kiasi cha kumfutia madhambi yake. Je itakuwaje pale rais atakapochukizwa na yeyote na akatumia staili hii ya kufanya mambo? Lazima taifa letu liendeshwe kisheria bila kujali ukubwa wa cheo cha mtu wala ukaribu wake na yeyote.

Ni kweli; Tanzania inahitaji uwekezaji ili kutengeneza ajira na kulipa kodi. Lakini hatujafikia hali ya kujigonga kwa wawekezaji tena matajiri ukiachia mbali kuwa na madudu kama ilivyo kwenye kukamatwa kwa sukari ya Bakhresa.

Siamini kama Magufuli, mtu mwenye shahada ya juu kitaaluma haoni haya. Sitaki nijenge imani kuwa kuna namna kwenye ukuruba na usuhuba huu wa Magufuli na Bakhresa. Kama tutakuwa wakweli, kitendo cha rais kugawa ardhi ya umma kwa mtu binafsi tena tajiri ni cha kwanza katika historia ya taifa letu. Japo hili ni suala tofauti, tabia ya viongozi kufurahishwa na kutoa mali au fedha za umma inaanza kuwa aina mpya ya ufisadi. Rejea kitendo cha mkuu wa mkoa wa Dar es Salaam Paul Makonda kutoa zawadi ya kujenga makao makuu ya Baraza la Waislam Tanzania (BAKWATA) huku akiacha wanafunzi wa mashuleni wakisomea chini ya miti. Ni busara gani hii? Hatuwezi kuendesha nchi na kutumia fedha na raslimali zake kama mali binafsi tukafika tunakotaka kufika. Ardhi si maua wala mvinyo wa kugawa kienyeji kwa vile mhusika ana madaraka na amefurahi. Sijui kama Magufuli alipata ushauri wa kitaalamu hadi akijiridhisha na kufikia uamuzi huu wa ajabu kidogo kiuchumi na kisheria.

Sioni tofauti kati ya wale viongozi wastaafu waliojimilkisha mashamba ya umma na hili la kugawa ardhi kwa mtu binafsi.

Leo sitaki niseme mengi. Ninachoweza kusema ni kwamba nimetoa ushauri huu tokana na utaalamu wa uchumi na sheria na mapenzi makubwa kwa rais Magufuli ambaye naunga mkono harakati na uzalendo wake wa kutaka kuiondoa Tanzania kwenye umaskini. Na hili liko wazi. Katika kitabu changu kilichotoka hivi karibuni cha Africa’s Best and Worst Presidents:How Neocolonialism and Imperialism Maintained Venal Rules in Africa, Magufuli ni rais pekee aliyeko madarakani aliyepata sura nzima kama kiongozi bora pamoja na kuwa mpya madarakani ukiachia mbali Mwl Julius Nyerere, Samora Machel, Kenneth Kaunda, Nelson Mandela na wengine. Tunajitahidi kumsaidia rais wetu ili afanikishe ukombozi vilivyo na si kuishia aibu na lawama. Nimalizie kwa kumfahamisha rais kuwa wafanyabiashara si watu wa kuamini kwa vile lengo lao si huduma wala nini bali faida. Hili anaweza kuliona toka kwa wenzake waliostaafu. Nani amesahau jinsi wafanyabiashara walivyokuwa wakichangamkia kununua picha, leso hata soksi za Mwinyi? Je baada ya kuachia ukanda, yupo anayeweza kununua hata suti yake? Pia angalia NGO za wake zao ambazo zimedoda kwa kukosa wafadhili baada ya kuachia madaraka. Nimalizie kwa kumtaka Magufuli abatilishe nia na uamuzi wake wa kugawa ardhi ya watanzania kwa mtu ambaye ni tajiri wa kutupwa. Anachofanya hakina tofauti na kutoa misamaha ya kodi kwa matajiri huku maskini wakimuliwa kama ilivyokuwa kwenye utawala uliopita ambao umepoteza sura na mvuto kwa watanzania tokana na madudu uliotenda.

Baada ya rais Joni Kanywaji Makufuli kunusuru mishiko kibao ambayo wanene wangekamua kwenda kujimwaya kule Simiyu, Kijiwe kilifunga safari hadi kule Mwitongo kumuona mama Merry ili kumpa taafu kwenye maadhimisho ya miaka 17 ya kifo cha mzee Mchonga wa Burito.

Kapende ndiye anaanzisha mada. Anasema “wazee mnasemaje baada ya kuyoyoma miaka kumi na sabaa tangu mzee Nchonga arejeshe namba? Maana mie naona ni kama jana.”

Mgoshi Machungi anamchomekea “kwani ujasikia wahenga waivoshema kuwa siku huwa hazigandi. Mimi namkumbuka huyu ngui hasa kipindi hiki tuipochagua dokta Joni Kanywaji Makufui ambaye si haba anajitahidi kujaibu kuvaa viatu vya dingi huyu. Uisikia aivozuia wanene kujiipa mamiioni kwenda Simiyu kutumbua na kuringishiana mashangingi?”

Mipawa hangoji Mgoshi aendelee; anakatua mic “natamani mzee Nchonga angekuwa hai huenda angewalazimisha hawa wajivuni kurejesha katiba mpya waliyoiua kwa kuogopa ujambazi na madhambi yao wasiozee lupango. Sijui kwanini na dokta Kanywaji anasitasita kutuletea katiba mpya kana kwamba naye anapanga kubadili kibao baadaye.”

Da Sofia Lion aka Kanungaembe anakula mic “kaka hata mimi nashangaa anashindwa nini wakati ameonyesha nia ya kuirejesha kaya kwenye mstari. Kama atarejesha nchakato wa katiba mpya atakuwa ameweza kuvaa barabara viatu vya mzee Mchonga.”

Mbwamwitu anachomekea kwa utani “bado ni mapema jamani. Mbona mbavu za mbwa za kaya walizogawana hajazirejesha au anafanya vitu kwa kuchagua atakavyo badala ya kutumia sharia utadhani kaya hii ni mali yake binafsi?”

Msomi Mkatatamaa anatia daruga; na kusema “si kwamba dokta Kanywaji hajui umuhimu wa katiba mpya. Anajua fika. Sema anaogopa akirejesha itamnyina nafasi ya kutembeza undava kama ilivyo kwa sasa. Anajua fika kuwa katiba mpya ni kama upanga wa ncha mbili hasa kwa dingi kama yeye anayetumia tuturinga au vipi. Ona sasa mnavyoanza kutaka arejesha mbavu za mbwa za umma wakati naye alikuwa mnene wakati jinai hii ikiasisiwa na kutekelezwa. Nadhani vitu kama hivi ndivyo vitafanya katiba mpya iendelee kuuawa. Hili la kusema kuwa ana mpango wa kugeuka na kukwapua kama washenzi waliomtangulia silikubali. Jamaa ana usongo na kaya ingawa kaya haiwezi kujengwa kwa usongo wa mwanakaya mmoja.”

Anapiga chafya na kuendelea “nadhani dokta Kanywaji anapaswa kumuenzi mzee Mchonga vilivyo. Japo na mzee Nchonga aliwatala kimituringa chini ya ujima wa chama kimoja, alikiri pale vyama vingi vilipoanzishwa kuwa lazima kila mmoja abadilike. Kitu kingine ambacho alifanya mzee Mchonga ni kuanzisha mfumo na sera vinavyoeleweka vya utawala. Kwa sasa sijui kaya yetu inatawaliwa na sera gani pamoja na usomi wangu.”

Mpemba anampora Msomi mic; na kutambaa “yakhe unkumbusha kitu muhimu sana. Usemayo nkweli. Bila sera na nfumo twawezajikuta kubaya. Lazima hapa tunshauri jamaa atofautishe kati ya kauli mbiu na sera. Maana hata walontangulia walikuwa na vitu kama hivi. Mwakumbuka uwazi na ukweli ulioishia kuwa ufichi na urongo? Mwakumbuka maisha bora kwa wote yalotokezea kuwa mateso kwa wote bora sie wenye ulaji hatumo? Nikija kwa nzee Nchonga, nasema wazi. Huyu hakuwa ntu wa kawaida wala huwezimlinganisha na vinyankera walonfuatia. Dokta Kanywaji pekee ndo aonyesha lau kuelewa somo alofundisha mzee Nchonga. Walobaki wote mahabithi watupu.”

Kanji anakamua mic “Ami veve sema kitu moja kuba sana. Mzee Chonga nasifu yeye. Alikuva disciplined. Hapana shukua mali ya chovu. Hapana toto yake hata moja nakuwa tajir ya kuibia mali ya umma. Hata bibi yake hapana naanzisha NGO. Chonga napenda yeye hata kama nakamata jumbani ha Hindi mingi sana.”

Mheshimiwa Bwege anaamua kutia guu kinamna huku akiwa anaonyesha kama kuudhika. Sijui nani amemuudhi; anakula mic “hakuna walioniudhi kama wanaotaka kumlinganisha mzee Nchonga na mahabithi aliwaamini wakamuangusha. Kimsingi, Mchonga angekuwa hai angekuwa frustrated so much that he would remain at home kwa kuona aibu kwa alivyounga mkono majizi yakaja na kumuangusha. Hata hivyo, kama mzee Mchonga asingekufa kuna wengine urahis wangeusika kama wale marafiki zao waliowatosa. Unategemea upuuzi kama Njaa Kaya ungeweza kupelekwa ikuuu siyo? Saa nyingine hata dokta Kanywaji asingekuwa rahis. Hapa ndipo namsamehe mzee Nchonga kwa kosa la kuunga nkono vidhabi waliomgeuka na kumuangusha. Maana asingefanya kosa hili wale waliojenga mazingira ya dokta Kanywaji kujipenyeza wasingeingia ikulu na kujenga mazingira haya.”

Msomi anarejea na kukamua mic “mheshimiwa Bwege naungana nawe. Umeogea jambo moja muhimu ambalo kitaalamu huita circumstantiality. Mzee Mchonga alivyotafsiri wakati ule wakati akiwakingia vifua vinyago vya mpapure na kuwakataa vilaza waliopenda sana kujichekesha kama vyangu. Hata hivyo, tokana na nia yake nzuri, fate iliamua kupitia kile ambacho huitwa divine intervention akapatikana dokta Kanywaji ambaye hata hivyo ana safari ndefu na ya hatari kama atajitwisha zigo pekee na akakataa kurejesha katiba mpya.”

Kijiwe kikiwa kinanoga si Bombadier ikapita juu yetu tukatamani tungekuwa na njuluku tungepanda kwenda zetu Mwitongo kimakwelini na si imani!

Nilitaka kuandika juu ya kadhia ya kule kwa kina Twambombo tununu ambapo wanafunzi maticha walimshushia kipigo cha mwizi mwanafunzi mmoja mtukutu kiasi cha kujivuka mipaka ya uticha wao na kuishia kumwagwa kwenye mitandao. Nilipoinyaka nilijua kuna tatizo hapa tena si la maticha wala mwanafunzi yule bali mfumo mzima hapa kayani. Sijui kama hawa maticha wanafunzi walikuwa wamesoma, wakasomeshwa na kuiva au ni yale ya voda faster aka mchina?

Kosa limeishatendeka; hakuna namna ya kulifuta zaidi ya kushughulikia tatizo lakini si matawi. Japo nalonga kilevi, bado ninayo ilmu yangu tena ya ughaibuni. Mie sijaghushi kama ninaoona wakiadhirika kila kucha. Juzi si nilishangaa nusu kuzimia tena kwenye nsiba baada ya wasfu wa kihiyo aka kilaza mmoja kusomwa. Tulimjua jamaa kama daktari. Lakini ajabu ya maajabu, kwenye wasfu wake hapakuonyesha hata kuwa na shahada moja! Hayo tuyaache;kwani kihiyo yule aliyewahi kuwa nstahiki alishajinyotokea roho japo tunahitaji kuwawinda vihiyo walioko hai na si kungoja mauti yaumbue.

Tuejeree kwa maticha wanagezi. Je kosa walilotenda na adhabu waliyopewa ya kutimliwa ghafla chuoni ndiyo ndiyo adhabu yake kisheria au wahusika wametumia sheria ya mihemko na kuogopana ukiachia mbali kuwaridhisha walevi kuwa wana kasi ya kutosha? Je mdingi wa ilmu aliyetoa uamuzi huu wa kizimamoto alifanya vikao vyovyote ili kubaini tatizo ni nini, kupima na kujiridhisha kuwa hajavuka mstari au aliamua kwa jazba kwa kuangalia upande mmoja? Je uamuzi wake ni wa kitaaluma au kisiasa? Maana, hawa licha ya kuwa maticha wanagezi, bado wameishapoteza muda na njuluku zao na za kaya ukiachia mbali kuwa kaya inawahitaji kutokana na kuwa na wanafunzi wengi na maticha wachache? Je hili ndilo jibu la tatizo au ni jip utu?

Kimsingi, hapa nadhani kuna haja ya kutumia busara badala ya jazba. Nadhani hapa tunajifunza kuwa mfumo wetu wa elimu una matatizo katika maandalizi ya wanafunzi na maticha wetu kiasi cha wengine kutokuwa na nidhamu huku wengine nao kutokuwa wavumilivu wala kujua kanuni, mbinu na sheria za kushughulikia kadhia kama hii ya kwa akina Twambombo.

Umeambiwa wale ni wanafunzi na uanafunzi huruhusu sehemu ya kosa kama njia ya kujifunza.

Hakuna kilichowashangaza walevi kama hii kasi ya kuadhibu matokeo ya mapungufu ya kimfumo. Kwa ushauri nadhani tunapaswa kuchunguza mapungufu kwenye maandalizi ya maticha wetu na namna ya kuwaweka sawa wanafunzi. Sisi tuliosoma zama za mzee Mchonga, halikuwa jambo linalofikirika acha kutenda eti mwanafunzi amkate kibao ticha. How do you do that? Nadhani tunapaswa kubaini mapungufu katika mfumo wetu na kuurekebisha badala ya kuadhibiana kihasirahasira na kihasarahasara.

Japo nasema kwa nguvu ya vile vifaa ninavyoweka kw asana, naweza kusema tena kwa kinywa kipana kuwa kama hawa vijana yaani maticha wanagezi wangekuwa wamefundishwa saikolojia ya elimu na mahusiano, nadhani wasingefanya walichofanya. Walichofanya ni ushahidi kuwa hawakuandaliwa na wakaiva kitaaluma.

Ukiangalia upande wa pili, hata wanafunzi wetu nao wanaandaliwa vibaya hasa ikizingatiwa kuwa kuna uhaba wa shule za umma. Sitegemei kama kwenye shule ya serikali au ya seminari tulizosoma sisi hali ingeweza kufikia hapa kabla ya utawala haujagundua na kuchukua hatua mapema kuiepuka. Inapofikia mwanafunzi akamchapa kofi mwalimu, ujue kuna uzembe kwenye mfumo. Anapata wapi hii jeuri kama siyo kulelewa muda mrefu? Inapofikia ticha akaacha kutumia kiboko akatumia fimbo, karate au ngumi, ujue kuna mapungufu yaliyoachwa muda mrefu. Ticha aliyesoma akaiva kisaikolojia hana jazba wala haraka. Unaweza kumkosea akajifanya kama haoni ila siku akikupata, anahakikisha anafuata taratibu zote na mwisho wa siku unakuwa umepoteza kila kitu. Hata hivyo, tuache utani, kitoto kinakuchapa kibao halafu ukipe maua siyo!

Namuonea huruma Magufuli

≪ Previous: Maticha wanapoonyesha uanafunzi na waziri akaurudia!

Akisema amejitoa sadaka kwa ajili ya watanzania, wapo wanaouliza: “Kwani yeye ni Yesu” utadhani Yesu alikuwa mtanzania! Sijui wanataka awatoe wao sadaka kama ilivyokuwa kabla? Sukari ikiadimika wapo wanaomlaumu rais John Pombe Magufuli wakisema ameondoa vibali. Akiruhusu sukari mbovu iingizwe hao hao wanaohoji: “Kwanini amesahau viwanda vyetu au amehongwa aviue?” Wakati mwingine unashindwa kuelewa nini jema kwa wanadamu. Je mhusika anapaswa kufanya nini zaidi ya kuwapuuzia na kutekeleza yale anayoamini yataleta ufanisi baadaye hata kama ni baada ya kuumia kidogo? Nadhani anachofanya Magufuli ni kuikamua nchi jipu; lazima iumie ili ifurahi baada ya kupona.

Akitumia madaraka yake wanasema eti ni dikteta huku wakilaumu serikali iliyopita iliyoacha kuyatumia ikaishia kuitwa goigoi. Akiacha kuzurura ughaibuni wengine wanasema anahujumu nchi kidiplomasia wakati hao hao ndiyo waliombatiza jinal la Vasco da Gama rais aliyepita.

Wapo–tena wanaweza kuwa wengi tu–wanaoona urais ni kazi rahisi kiasi cha kuurahisisha urais na kupata fursa ya rahisi kumlaumu rais Magufuli–baada ya kuja na namna mpya ya kufanya mambo kiasi cha kuwaudhi na kuwastua wengi ukiachia mbali kuhatarisha ulaji wao wa dezo waliozoea bila kujua una mwisho. Hawa walioamua–kwa makusudi mazima kurahisisha urais–baada ya kuzoea urais legelege uliopita–badala ya kumkosoa, kumshauri hata kumkumbusha rais, wameamua kuziba macho na masikio hata akili zao ilmradi wajiridhishe kwa kulaumu tu. Wanaojua ugumu wa dhamana aliyotwishwa, licha ya kumuonea huruma rais Magufuli hasa kutokana na hatua za maksudi alizochukua, hujitahidi kumshauri pale anapoonekana kufanya ndivyo sivyo. Tumkosoe anapokosea na si kumhukumu wala kumlaumu, kumkatisha tamaa bila kuvuta subira na kuona matokeo ya anayopanga na kufanya. Tumuongoze badala ya kuwa wepesi wa kushutumu. Yeye hajui kila kitu; na amesema hivyo mara nyingi akiomba tumsaidie na kumuombea. Isitoshe, anayofanya si kwa manufaa binafsi kama waliomtangulia ambao walitanguliza familia zao na matumbo yao kiasi cha nchi kuoza kama ilivyo sasa.

Kwanini tunamuonea huruma? Amerithi nchi iliyovurugwa vibaya sana tena kwa muda mrefu tu. Tazama anavyopangua safu kwa umahiri na ujasiri unaohitaji moyo wa mwendawazimu. Ni wangapi wameishawapangua ambao waliteuliwa kutokana na ima kutoa rushwa iwe ijulikanayo au vinginevyo au kwa vile walikuwa karibu na wakubwa wa zama zile? Unadhani wanafurahi hawa pamoja na kutokuwa na stahiki wala udhu wa kuendelea kuwa kwenye ofisi za umma wakifanya yale waliyozoea?

Kitu kingine kinachofanya nimuonee huruma Magufuli ni ile hali ya kutokuwapo mfumo unaoeleweka, jambo ambalo anapaswa kulifanyia kazi. Hapa ndipo umuhumu wa kurejea Rasimu ya Katiba Mpya kama ilivyokuwa imependekezwa na wananchi chini ya Tume ya Marekebisho ya Katiba ya Jaji Joseph Warioba. Hata hivyo, Magufuli anawezaje kuliongelea hili wakati chama bado kiko mikononi mwa wale wale walioikataa na kuiua kutokana na uovu na upogo wao? Watamkwamisha; kwa vile bado wana mamlaka tena makubwa chamani. Hivyo, tumpe muda. Najua mengi anayasoma kama siyo kusomewa au kuyasikia toka kwa washauri wake. Nina imani naye. Siku atakapopata nyenzo zote, hakuna shaka. Katiba mpya itapatikana ili imsaidie katika vita yake na kumwepusha kuonekana kama anatafuta sifa au kuwa muungu mtu jambo ambalo ni kumuonea.

Kinachofurahisha na kuweka tumaini na ushindi ni ukweli kuwa Magufuli si mwoga, si muongo. Si mpenda sifa kama wabaya wake wanavyotaka kumuelezea. Alionyesha asivyopenda sifa pale alipoombwa aliite Daraja la Kigamboni jina lake; lakini akakataa na kupendekezwa liitwe Nyerere.

Kitu kingine kinachofanya nimuonee huruma ni ile hali ya kuwa mkweli. Magufuli huongea ya moyoni bila hata kujali madhara yake. Hata ukimuangalia usoni wakati akisema ayasemayo unaona aina fulani ya ukweli na si ujanja ujanja na unafiki wala ujuaji. Ni kutokana na ukweli huu, Magufuli haogopi lawama pale anapochukua maamuzi anayoamini ni sahihi na ni kwa ajili ya maslahi ya taifa.

Sifa nyingine inayomfanya awapiku wengi waliomtangulia ni ile hali ya kutotaka wala kupenda makuu. Si mbaguzi wala shufaa. Hata kwenye harakati zake anasisitiza utanzania kuliko itikadi za kisiasa. Rejea amri ya kutaka meya wa Dar es Salaam apatikane bila kujali anatoka chama gani wala kuangalia kama CCM itashinda au kushindwa. Hili limewaudhi na kuwastua wengi ndani ya CCM kiasi cha kumchongea hata kwa mwenyekiti wa chama. Hata hivyo, kuonyesha alivyo mkweli, Magufuli alipotakiwa kujieleza, alisema wazi kuwa CCM ilipoteza jimbo la Dar kwa sababu ya wanafiki wa ndani ya chama. Hivyo, haikuwa vibaya kwa CCM na wanafiki wake kuonja adha ya unafiki wao. Tabu ya watu waliozoea unafiki ni kwamba usipokuwa mnafiki wanakuchukia; kwa vile unawaambia yale wasiyotaka kusikia.

Tuhitimishe. Jambo jingine ni kwamba Magufuli anaonyesha kuwa na dira. Nakumbuka maneno ya Profesa Issa Shivji aliyesema wazi kuwa Magufuli anaonyesha kujua analofanya kuliko waliomtangulia ukimuondoa marehemu baba wa taifa mwl Julius Nyerere. Shivji si mkurupukaji wala mtu mpenda sifa wala anayeweza kutumiwa kirahisi ingawa bado ni binadamu.

Prof Tibaijuka anatak kmudanganya nani?

October 24, 2016, 9:27 am

≫ Next: My New Book Is Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

≪ Previous: Namuonea huruma Magufuli

Hivi karibuni, mbunge wa Muleba Kusini profesa Anna Tibaijuka alipokea tuzo toka umoja wa mataifa ukitambua mchango wake katika kuhamasisha maendeleo. Hili si jambo jipya hasa kwa mtu aliyewahi kuajiriwa na umoja wa mataifa. Tunampongeza kwa kutambuliwa mchango wake. Hata hivyo, madai kuwa aliacha kuchukua fedha ilioandamana na zawadi aliyopewa tokana na sababu za kimaadili ni kituko cha kufungia mwaka huu. Tibaijuka alikiririwa akisema “na huambatana na zawadi ya Dola za Marekani 100,000 (Sh milioni 200). Sikuzichukua fedha hizi, kama mnavyojua maadili ya nchi yetu unaweza ukapokea yakaibuka mambo mengine.” Hii si kweli. Ukichukua zawadi iliyokatazwa kisheria na kuifanya mali binafsi ndipo yanapozuka hayo anayodai Tibaijukaa. Lakini ukiisalimisha kwa serikali, huo ndiyo uwazi, uwajibikaji na uzalendo na si mtima nyongo kama alioonyesha mhusika. Hivyo, madai ya Tibaijuka ni si ya kweli na ni ya ajabu sana hasa kwa mtu ambaye historia inamtambua kama mtu aliyewahi kuivunja hiyo sheria akapokea zawadi tena nono tu. Je Tibaijuka kaifahamu hii sheria jana tu au ni kutaka kuwageuza watu majuha? Kama alikuwa na nia nzuri, kwanini asiipokee hii fedha na akaikabidhi kwa serikali? Nadhani; Tibaijuka awe mkweli kuwa ana kinyongo; na kama siyo, basi hakuwa tayari kuona fedha hiyo inatumiwa na umma badala ya yeye binafsi. Hakuna sheria inayomzuia kupokea zawadi au tuzo akawaviwasilisha serikalini zaidi ya roho mbaya tu ya kawaida kwa wale wanaoacha vitu kama hivyo kwa vile hawataweza kuvifaidi. Hivyo, Tibaijuka alimua kucheza mchezo wa “kama mimi sipati heri wote tukose” ambayo mara nyingi ni dalili za mtima nyongo hasa kwa mtu aliyekaririwa akikiri kuwa fedha ile ingesaidia wahanga wa tetemeko mkoani mwake. Ana bahati hao wanaompa kura kama hawatamwadhibu kwa mtima nyongo huu vinginevyo alichofanya kingegeuka kuwa mwanzo wa mwisho wa ubunge wake.

Tibaijuka aliongeza “sikuichukua kwa sababu ya yaliyonikuta hapo mapema, kulikuwa na uwezekano wa kuichukua lakini nikasema kwa hali halisi ya nyumbani, hatuna sheria ya kupokea tuzo, michango na zawadi kwa hiyo mimi nikaicha mezani wao wafanye wanayotaka.” Hapa Tibaijuka naona kama anajichanganya; kama si kutaka kupotosha hata kudanganya. Kama nukuu yake anasema “hatuna sheria ya kupokea tuzo, michango na zawadi kwa hiyo mimi nikaicha mezani wao wafanye wanayotaka.” Kama ni kweli mbona sasa amechukua tuzo au ni yale ya kuacha nyama ukanywa supu ukasema sijala kitu kitu hii? Je amechukua tuzo hiyo kwa sheria ipi wakati anakiri mwenyewe kuwa hakuna sheria inayomruhusu kufanya hivyo? Sijui, kama Tibaijuka alitafakari maneno yake yaliyonukuriwa hapo juu toka kinywani mwake. Au anapanga kusema alikaririwa out of context? Tunamtaka Tibaijuka awe mkweli kwake binafsi na kwa wale anaolenga kuwaelezea haya mafanikio yake tata. Maswali ni mengi kuliko majibu. Je ina mana Tibaijuka hajui kuwa tuzo si mali sawa na fedha tena yenye thamani kuliko hiyo fedha aliyokataa? Kwa wanaojua maana na athari za tuzo kwa mhusika, tuzo ina athari chanya kubwa kwa mpokeaji kuliko fedha inayoandamana nayo. Na ndiyo maana watoa tuzo hutangaza kuwa wanatoa tuzo lakini si fedha. Fedha huandamana na tuzo kama msindikizaji; lakini tuzo ndiyo big deal. Hivyo–kama kweli Tibaijuka alidhamiria kufanya anachotaka kuhadaa umma kuwa alifanya–basi angekataa vyote hadi apate ushauri wa kisheria. Hata hivyo, kama profesa, Tibaijuka alipaswa kujua vitu rahisi na vya msingi kama hivi. Vinginevyo alichofanya ni kujichanganya na kuendelea kudanganya umma. Ni utata mtupu. Na wala haitamsaidia kukimbia kila alicholenga kukimbia. Akubali kuwa alikosea; atubu na kurejesha fedha haramu ya Escrow na kuanza upya vinginevyo zimwi hili litaendelea kumuandama tu.

Pia Tibaijuka alipaswa kufahamu kuwa hakuna sheria inayozuia kuchukua vitu hivyo anavyotaja. Vinginevyo, asingechukua mabilioni ya Escrow. Nadhani Tibaijuka aliona milioni 200 ni vijisenti hasa ikizingatiwa alishapokea mabilioni pamoja na kutokuwapo sheria ya kufanya hivyo anayoongelea kwa sasa na kujidai kuisheshimu. Sijui kwanini wakati akipokea mabilioni ya Escrow hakukumbuka maadili na sheria anayoongelea kutaka aonekane safi wakati alishajichafua siku nyingi?

Tibaijuka pia alikaririwa akisema “lakini kwa sababu jamii haina uwezo wa kuchimba chini, unabaki kuwa uongo na kushindwa kujua ukweli umesimama wapi, lakini wao (UN) wanajua hii ni propanda la sivyo nisingesimama hapa na tuzo.” Tibaijuka awe mkweli. Kwanza inashangaza mtu anayeitwa profesa anayepaswa kufahamu madhara ya mijumuisho katika kutoa madai anapoihukumu jamii nzima kwa uzembe na mapungufu yake. Kama suala la Escrow ni propaganda, alishindwa nini kusimama na kujitetea? Kama ni propaganda, alishindwa nini kwenda mahakamani kuwachukulia hatua anaodai wanamchafua wakati alijichafua mwenyewe? Pili, Tibaijuka anapaswa kueleza ni jamii ipi maana neno bila kutofautisha ni ipi ni tata. Je alimaanisha jamii ya dunia nzima, Tanzania au huko kwao?

Tumalizie kwa kumtaka Tibaijuka awe mkweli. Je Tibaijuka anataka kumdanganya nani wakati kila kitu kiko wazi kuwa alichukua mabilioni ya Escrow?

Africa’s Best and Worst Presidents: How Neocolonialism and Imperialism Maintained Venal Rules in Africa seeks to deconstruct the current superstructure that colonialism created and maintains. It chastises and challenges Africans, academics in the main, to revisit and write a true history of Africa. Written by Africans themselves, so that rewritten histories should aim at countering the counterfeit narratives which have proliferated, poisoned and diminished African sense of self and self-confidence. The history centered on African perspectives and experiences should go a long way in our quest to truly unfetter Africa from dependency, desolation and mismanagement. This book calls upon all Africans to stand up fearlessly and tirelessly to take on decadent and despotic regimes that have always held Africa at ransom as they get lessons from the best managers of state affairs on whose feats they must expand. The option to critique, cross-examine and dissect past African presidents and their excesses is aimed at giving the young and frustrated generations of Africans the intellectual resources they need to arm themselves in resolve and pursuit of Africa’s emancipation.

Kijiwe chashanga Lukuvi alivyoshughulikia kashfa Moro

October 27, 2016, 9:33 am

≪ Previous: My New Book Is Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baada ya kuzinyaka kuwa waziri wa Ardhi Bill Lukuvi alivamia ofisi ya ardhi ya nkoa wa Moro na kugundua madudu na kuyaacha, Kijiwe kimeamua kumshangaa na kumjadili. Hii ni baada ya Msomi Mkatatamaa kuinyaka kwenye mitandao kulikorushwa video ya Lukuvi akishuhudia ufisadi wa wazi asichukue hatua wala kutoa karipio.

Msomi anaamua kumwaga inshu akisema “mwenzenu nimepigwa na butwaa hasa nikizingatia usawa huu wa spidi ya “Hapa Job” ya Dokta Joni Kanywaji Makufuli,” anawasha kijisimu chake ambacho siyo Sumsung Note 7. Maana ingekuwa hiyo, kwa zinavyolipuka, kijiwe kizima kingetoka mkuku na kumuacha yeye na bomu lake.

Baada ya kuwasha kisimu chake cha bei mbaya, si tuliona namna waziri alivyoingia kwenye ofisi ya ardhi na kukuta maelfu ya hati yakiwa yametekwa ili wahusika watoe chochote kitu ndipo wazipate. Hakuna kitu kiliacha hoi kijiwe kama afisa moja la kiume lililomdanganya waziri akashindwa kulinyaka na uongo wake. Alipoliuliza kwanini hati zilikuwa hazitumwi kwa walengwa, lilisema kuwa walikuwa wakiwapigia simu bila wao k uja kuchukua hati hizo. Ajabu waziri alipoliamru jizi hili kupiga simu kwa mmojawapo, lilimdanganya bila aibu kuwa halikuwa na namba ya simu. Bahati ya habithi huyu. Angekuwa bingwa wa takwimu dokta Kanywaji angehoji nini maana ya kusema kuwa walikuwa wamewapigia simu wahusika kwa simu zipi iwapo hili jinga halikuwa na namba za simu.

Kushindwa kwa waziri kulibana fisadi hili uchwara kulituacha hoi kiasi cha kuhoji uwezo wa mhusika wa kufikiri na kukumbuka wakati uongo aliokuwa ameambiwa haukuwa umepitisha hata dakika kumi. Baada ya kuenjoy aibu hii ya kaya, tuliamua kuanza mjadala.

Wa kwanza alikuwa Mgoshi Machungi aliyekula mic na kuzoza “Hivi huyu wazii ana tatizo gani jamani. Kwanini hakuiuiza hii jambazi la kaamu kwanini haikuwa na namba za simu wakati iisema kuwa iikuwa imewapigia wahusika simu?”

Kabla ya kuendelea Mpemba ananchomekea “Yakhe hata mie nshangaa kwanini huyu waziri hakuuliza hilo swali. Yawezekana hawa jamaa wanjuana; vinginevo hapakuwa na sababu yoyote ya nsingi ya kutoliwajibisha hili jizi wallahi.”

Msomi anakula mic “msimlaumu waziri. Kwa sasa jamaa wengi wanafanya kazi si kwa ujuzi wala utashi bali kuogopa dokta Kanywaji asiwatumbue. Hivyo, unaweza kukuta jamaa hapa alitaka apigwe picha na kurekodiwa video ili aonekana anachapa mzigo hata kama ni bila maarifa kama mlivyojionea.”

Kapende anampoka Msomi mic “hata ukiangalia maangizo ya kishikaji aliyotoa waziri unahisi kuna tatizo. Kama si kulindana, basi wapo waliopewa madaraka ambayo hawana sifa wala uwezo nayo. Hata hivyo, kwa kiwango cha elimu cha watendaji wetu ambao wengi wao wameghushi, huwezi kujua japo simaanisha kuwa mhusika alighushi kama alivyowahi kudai Keinerugaba Msematrue.”

Mipawa anakwanyua mic “hapa tusipindishe wala kuogopana. Hawa waweza kuwa waarabu wa Pemba ingawa Pemba hakuna waarabu bali wapemba mnaowachanganya na waarabu wakati wakienda arabuni wanaitwa abid au watumwa.”

“Yakhe tuheshimiane ati. Wawezaje sema eti tukienda arabuni twaitwa watwana! Hebu niombe nsamaha kabla sijapiga ntu albadili mie.”

Kanji anamchomekea Mpemba na kuokoa jahazi “Kwanini veve dugu yangu nachukia. Hata sisi hindi kama nakwenda Bombay hapana kubali kuwa sisi ni hindi. Hii kitu kawaida dugu yangu.”

Mheshimiwa Bwege anaamua kutia guu baada ya kuona mada inaanza kupindishwa. Anaronga “Turejeeni kwenye mada waheshimiwani. Mie nadhani hapa hakuna tatizo tena dogo bali kubwa. Ukiangalia namna dokta Kanywaji ambavyo amekuwa akitumbua waovu kuanzia bandarini, TRA hadi Muhimbili, unashangaa na kujiuliza kama baadhi ya watendaji wake wanamuelewa. Kwa namna huyu jamaa tuliyetoka kumuangalia alivyovurunda, hakupaswa kuachwa ofisini na kupewa mwezi mzima ili azidi kuvurunda wakati vijana wanaotaka kazi na wenye sifa wapo kibao mitaani wakioza wakati majizi yakibungua kaya yetu. Nadhani kama mhusika atasoma kitu hiki atabadili uamuzi wake na kufanya kazi badala ya kutaka ujiko au vipi?”

Da Sofia Lion aka Kanungaembe anaamua kukamua mic “Jamani mmeona yule kaka alivyonona kwa fedha za rushwa kama anavyosema mheshimiwa waziri? Hakuna aliyeniacha hoi kama dada yangu ambaye ana dhamana ya kugawa hati kutoa macho kana kwamba hana ujuzi wala hajui kinachoendelea. Nadhani hawa jamaa wanapaswa kukamatwa na kuswekwa ndani na kuchunguzwa ili liwe somo kwa wengine ambao hawajaelewa kasi ya dokta Kanywaji ambaye siku zote namuonea huruma kutokana na kuzungukwa na gendaeka wasiojua anacholenga kufanya.”

Mzee Maneno anakamua mic “kuna namna hawa jamaa wanavyofanya. Maana pamoja na habari hii kujaa kwenye mitandao hasa mabulogu, siioni kwenye magazeti yetu. Inakuwaje waziri anakwenda kwenye kufichua uoza huu haandamani na waandishi wa habari au wameatamia habari baada ya kurambishwa asali? Kama ni hivyo, kwanini waziri hakuwahoji waandishi alioandamana nao; na kama hakuandamana nao ni kwanini wakati hii ni kazi ya umma?”

Kijiwe kikiwa kinanoga si likapita shumbwengu la Lukuvi! Acha twende kumhoji. Tulipotunakaribia kugonga kwenye dirisha si mataa yakaruhusu!

≪ Previous: Kijiwe chashanga Lukuvi alivyoshughulikia kashfa Moro

Kwanza, pamoja na ulevi na madude yangu nilishangaa sana kusika mkubwa wa wilaya wa sirikali akiwabembeleza walevi badala ya kutoa amri na nini kitafuatia atakapoikhalifu mlevi. Pamoja na utekelezaji huu wa kisiasa, mlevi natoa maangalizo ili kuepusha kuendelea kucheza na ngoma ile ile wakati tukijua kuwa hakuna kitakachofanyika hasa ikizingatiwa kuwa walevi wetu siku hizi wamekuwa wabinafsi, wapenda vitu kiasi cha kuruhusu wahamiaji haramu na wahalifu kupanga na kujificha kwenye mbavu zao za dog.

Pili, kutegemea vijibarua vinavyoweza kughushiwa kuwa vitatatua tatizo ni kujidanganya. Kama wapo wanahizaya wanaoghushi shahada, vyeti na nyaraka mbalimbali ambavyo vinahitaji teknolojia ya juu kuvitengeneza, watashindwa vijibarua vya serikali ya mtaa?

Tatu, je huko sirikali ya mitaa na mitaani ni salama au zitawaacha wahusika kwenye mataa? Mbona huko ndiko kwenye chimbuko la rushwa ndogo ndogo? Toeni vitambulisho vya uraia na namba ya utambulisho.

Sitaki nionekane kuwa najidai, ngoja nitoa mfano mdogo toka hapa Ukandani namba hiyo huitwa Social Insurance Number. Huwezi kupata leseni ya udereva, kupanga nyumba, kutibiwa, kuajiriwa wala kufanya lolote bila kutaja au kuonyesha namba hii. Namba hii imewekwa kwenye kompyuta na kila unapokuwa katika Kanada unajulikana pindipo kompyuta ikisoma namba yako.

Nikirejea home ambako kila mlevi anatanguliza njaa yake, napinga wazo la vijibarua. Kwanza, kuna aina fulani ya ubaguzi na uroho. Nitoe mfano, wakija wachainizi na magabacholi hata al shabaab wanashobokewa na kufichiwa madhambi yao. Acheni ushamba na kubaguana wakati huku utashani wote tunaitwa chinga uwe gabacholi, chainizi, mmanga wala nini wao hawajali. Wanaweka kwenye kapu moja chingaz. Hata hivyo, nawapenda watasha kwa kitu kimoja. Si wabaguzi kama hawa wabaguzi uchwara wetu wanaokimbia shida kwao na kuja kwetu kudengua wakati ni maskini wa kutupwa. Hapa ukitaka toto la kitasha unaoa bila kipingamizi; na siyo sawa na wahaindi na waarabu wanaobagua waswahili.

Kitu kingine nilichojifunza kwa walevi wa huku ni kwamba hakuna kuaminiana. Hivyo, huwezi ukaingia kwenye kaya ya wenyewe kinyume cha sheria eti ukawahonga vijisenti wakajiweka hatarini. Huku wakikunasa utalia na kusaga meno. Wala hawababaikii wageni hata wawe wazungu wa bwimbwi wenye njuluku za kumwaga.

Nimalizie kwa kushauri yafuatayo kama mtaalamu wa makosa ya jinai:

Mosi, wabunge waende bungeni na kupeleka mswaada wa kuwashughulikia wenye mbavu za mbwa waroho wanaoshirikiana na wahalifu. Mfano, mnaweza kuamru kuwa atakayekamatwa amempangisha mhalifu awe wa ndani au nje nyumba yake inataifishwa na anafungwa mvua 25.

Pili, sheria imtake mhusika kumtunza mlevi au walevi aliokuwa amewapangisha kinyume cha sheria hata watakapokuwa wamehukumiwa kwenda lupango au kuamriwa kuondoka kayani basi mhusika awalipie nauli ya pipa kurejea kwao.

Tatu, jengeni utaratibu wa kuvizi na kuvamia mbavu za mbwa mnazoshuku huku mkiweka mashushu watakaojifanya ima wahalifu au wahamiaji haramu wanaotafuta mbavu za mbwa za kupangisha, mtawapata kirahisi.

Nne, imarisheni ulinzi wa mipaka yenu hasa kwa kufanya ukaguzi wa kielektroniki na si mikaratasi ya akina Adam na Eva. Hii ni karne ya sayansi na tokonolojia jamani.

Zikomo kwa mbiri!

Onyo na Ushauri: Mlioghushi Msingonje Kifo Kiwafichue

Kadhia ya kughushi vyeti na sifa za kitaaluma ni janga na tatizo kwa Tanzania kitaifa hata kimataifa kwa Afrika. Baada ya kuingia sera za uliberali mamboleo (neoliberalism) kama njia ya kuchuma bila kufuata kanuni, kulijitokeza jinai mbali mbali kama vile ufisadi, ubinafsi, wizi wa mali za umma na sasa kughushi.

Hivi karibuni mbunge wa Vunjo mheshimiwa James Mbatia alitoa pendekezo safi kuwa katika mchakato unaoendelea wa kuhakiki sifa na vyeti vya kitaalumu Tanzania, na vyeti la rais John Pombe Magufuli na wasaidizi wake kama vile makamu wa rais na waziri mkuu vihakikiwe pia. Kwani nao ni watu tena watanzania wanaopaswa kuongoza kwa mstari wa mbele.

Katika kutafakari ushuri huu adhimu na muhimu, niliwaza juu ya watu au al maarufu vilaza walioghushi tulio au tuliokuwa nao kwenye nafasi za juu. Wapo wachache wanaojulikana. Kadhalika wako wengi wasiojulikana japo wanajijua. Leo naandika kutoa ushauri kwa wote walioghushi kuweka mambo yao vizuri. Hii ni kutokana na visa viwili vilivyojitokeza baada ya kufariki kwa watu mashuhuri wawili walioaminika kuwa walikuwa wamesoma hadi kufikia shahada ya uzamivu (PhD) wakati ukweli ni kwamba walighushi. Hivyo, hawakuwa na sifa walizokuwa wakidai walikuwa nazo.

Nitawataja si kwa kuwachukia bali kutaka kuonyesha ni namna gani hakuna siri ya milele. Wa kwanza ni aliyekuwa rais wa Malawi marehemu Bingu wa Mutharika. Huyu bwana alipenda kuitwa daktari wa uchumi japo hakuwa na sifa hii. Baada ya kufariki, ukweli ulifumka kuwa kumbe PhD yake alikuwa ameipata toka chuo cha mitaani kiitwacho California Miramar University (CMU). Uki-google chuo hiki utapata ukweli kuhusiana nacho. Hata hivyo, Mutharika alitunza siri hii hadi mauti yalipomfika hapo tarehe 5 Aprili, 2012.

Mwingine aliyejulikana kama daktari wakati hakuwa na hata shahada moja si mwingine bali Didas Masaburi, meya wa zamani wa Jiji la Dar Es Salaam aliyefarika tarehe 11 Oktoba, 2016. Wengi walimjua bwana huyu kama msomi bobezi ingawa hakuwa. Kwani katika kusoma wasfu wake uliosomwa na mdogo wake, hakuna hata sehemu moja kulipoonyeshwa kuwa Masaburi alisomea udaktari wa falsafa ukiachia mbali kutokuwa na shahada hata moja. Ukitaka kusoma wasfu wa Masaburi nendahttp://mtanzania.co.tz/?p=22490 au soma habari tangulizi kwenye gazeti la Mtanzania la tarehe 18 Oktoba, 2016.

Ukweli ni kwamba mabwana tajwa hapo juu, pamoja na umaarufu wao, walikuwa waongo na walitenda jinai. Walichuma kwa kutumia elimu feki jambo ambalo linawaingiza kwenye watu walioibia mataifa yao.

Wapo wengine walio hai ambao walitajwa na mwanaharakati Msemakweli Keinerugaba aliyefikia hata kuwatungia kitabu kiitwacho Orodha ya Mafisadi Tanzania /The list of Shoddy Degree and Diploma Holders. Katika kitabu hiki chenye kurasa 39 wametajwa vigogo wakiwamo Diodolus Kamala, Mary Nagu, Wiliam Lukuvi, Makongoro Mahanga, Antony Diallo, na Emanuel Nchimbi. Baada ya Keinerugaba kuwataja wahusika, wapo waliotishia kwenda mahakamani kumshitaki kwa kuwazushia, kuwachafua na kuwavunjia heshima. Baada ya muda, waligwaya na kujikali kimya kama ishara ya kuogopa ukweli zaidi usifichuke.

Japo Keinerugaba alikosa serikali makini na adilifu kuunga mkono hoja yake, bado ana hoja tena yenye mashiko. Kwa mfano Kamala alipokea shahada yake ya uzamivu hapo tarehe 6 Desemba, 2012 toka chuo kikuu cha Mzumbe. Ajabu, kabla ya hapo alijulikana kama daktari bila stahiki. Pia na mwingine aliyezoeleka kama daktari bila stahiki ni Nchimbi aliyepokea pia shahada toka chuo hicho.

Ukiacha hao, pia wapo waliowahi kuwa mawaziri ambao binafsi niliwahi kuhoji elimu zao. Hawa ni Saada Mkuya na Adam Malima ambao CVs zao zinatia shaka.

Kwa wanaojua utaratibu wa kufikia kukubaliwa kusomea na kupewa shahada ya uzamili, wanaelewa kuwa ili kuchaguliwa lazima mwombaji awe na shahada ya kwanza (Bachelor) au ametoa kazi nyingi zenye manufaa za kisomi (scholarly works) kama vile articles, mihadhara na vitabu. Malima hana hata sifa moja kama hii. Je aliwezaje kufanya Masters bila kuwa na shahada ya kwanza wala kidato cha sita? Mkuya naye kadhalika. Ukienda kwenye tovuti ya bunge lililopita utapata sifa za wahusika. Amepata shahada ya uzamili bila kuwa na shahada hata moja! Je wahusika watajitokeza wapinge madai haya?

Turejee tulikoanzia. Kama alivyoshauri Mbatia, tunashauri wote watakaogundulika kuwa walighushi, warejeshe mafao na mishahara yote waliyopokea wakati hawakuwa na sifa huku wakifikishwa mahakamani ili haki itendeke na liwe somo kwa wengine. Tusiishie hapa. Kwani tunao wengi tu maprofesa, walimu, majaji, mahakimu, wakunga na askari n.k. kwa ushauri mwepesi ni kwamba walioghushi, wasingoje wafariki ndiyo uoza wao ufichuke. Kwani hili licha ya kuaibisha wapendwa wao waliobakia, lina madhara makubwa kwa jamii nzima. Wakati wa kuondokana na watu kuishi bila kuhenyekea sifa wanazodai wanazo wakati hawana ni sasa. Nashauri katika hili jamii na serikali isiwe na simile na yeyote. Tusiangalie cheo wala sura bali tuwasake na kuwapatiliza kwa makosa waliyotenda.

Magufuli aache kulalamikia maovu atumbue

November 1, 2016, 5:44 am

≪ Previous: Onyo na Ushauri: Mlioghushi Msingonje Kifo Kiwafichue

Akihutubia wafanyakazi wa bandari hivi karibuni, rais John Pombe Magufuli alikaririwa akisema “ukiajiliwa bandarini umeukata, unaambiwa hongera na umeukata.” Magufuli alisema hayo akiwa bandarini ikiwa ametembelea sehemu hii kwa mara ya pili na kukuta madudu yale yale yaliyokuwa yemegunduliwa awali asichukue hatua. Ikumbuke; mara ya kwanza Magufuli alipotembelea bandari alibaini madudu kibao kiasi cha kuwawajibisha baadhi ya wahusika.

Hata hivyo, wengi walidhani kuwa kuwajibishwa kwa wahusika kungekomesha uhujumu wa taifa ambapo mashine nyingi za kuchunguza mizigo scanners zilikuwa hazifanyi kazi, huku mita za kupima mafuta, flow meters yanayoingia nchini zikiwa hasifanyi kazi wa miaka mitano. Madudu mengine yaliyogunduliwa na waziri wake mkuu kabla ya hapo ni utoroshaji wa makontena wa kutisha ambapo maelfu ya makontena yalikuwa yamepitishwa bandarini bila kulipiwa ushuru.

Magufuli aliongelea nchi kukaa miaka mitano bila flow meters na namna wahusika walivyomdanganya waziri mkuu. Je hawa hawajulikani? Je Magufuli anangoja nini bila kuwashughulika? Je kulalamika kunaleta suluhu? Kamata wahusika; weka ndani na kamata mali zao na wale wote wanaoshirikiana na katika jinai hii; simple. Na hii ahitaji uwe na CIA, FBI au Scotland Yard. Kama serikali itaandaa utaratibu mzuri wa kulinda, kumotisha na kuzawadia watoa taarifa, wapo watu wengine bandarini ambao wanaweza kutoa taarifa nyeti tokana na vipengele vitatu hapo juu ukiachia mbali wengine kuchukia uhujumu wa taifa kama anavyouchukia Magufuli. Hawa watuhumiwa hawakufanya kazi na makompyuta. Walifanya kazi na watu na watu wanawajua vizuri nani alipata nini na kiko wapi na alitumia mbinu gani kufanikisha hujuma hii. Hapa kinachotakiwa ni utashi wa kisiasa lakini si malalamiko. Kama rais analalamika, watu wa kawaida mitaani wafanye nini?

Tokana na namna sakata hili linavyoshughukiwa, inaweza hata kujengeka dhana kuwa uhujumu huu wa kutisha ulikuwa mradi wa serikali iliyopita; hasa ikizingatiwa kuwa uamuzi wa kufunga mita za mafuta kwa miaka mitano hauwezi kuwa wa kitengo au mamlaka ya bandari pekee. Rejea madudu yaliyogundulika kuwa watu walikuwa wakiajiri ndugu zao na serikali ikaangalia isichukue hatua. Kutokana na uhujumu huu Magufuli aliwaambia wafanyakazi wa bandari kuwa wahusika wanajulikana. Kwa wanaojua mamlaka aliyo nayo, wanashangaa anaongoja nini kama kweli anawajua wahusika asiwashughulikie wakati kila kitu kinajulikana ukiachia kuwa na vyombo vya usalama vyenu utaalamu wa kutosha wa kuchunguza kadhia kama hizi au kuna namna anaogopa kuwagusa alioahidi kuwakingia kifua waliosimamia jinai hii?

Tokana na kuonekana kuwapo usugu na kushindana baina ya serikali na watumishi wahujumu na mafisadi, tungempa Magufuli na serikali yake maangalizo yafuatayo:

Mosi, pamoja na kuwajua walioko nyuma ya hujuma hii ambayo kama ingetendekea China wahusika wangeishia kitanzini, chunguza wote waliopitia au waliopo kwenye sehemu zinazohusiana na mita za mafuta, makontena na kwingineko kwenye ulaji wa namna hii ili kujua ni hasara kiasi gani wamesababishia taifa.

Pili wachungeze wahusika hapo juu ili kujua kiwango cha utajiri walio nao au washirika zao na wameupataje.

Tatu, Magufuli anasema wapigaji dili wanajulikana. Kama ni kweli kwanini hawashughulikii au ni yale yale ya mtangulizi wake aliyewahi kusema kuwa alikuwa na orodha ya wauza unga, wahalifu kila aina lakini mpaka anaondoka hakumkamata wala kumhoji hata mmoja.

Nne, Magufuli aliongeza kusema kuwa watu wenye bandari kavu walikuwa hawalipi kodi kwa vile walikuwa wakishirikiana na watu wa TRA kujipatia fedha. Anangoja nini kuwakamata hawa wahusika katika kadhia hii na kuhakikisha wanarejesha fedha waliyoibia taifa na faini na faida juu au ni watu wasiogushwa wakati alisema hatakuwa na simile na watu kama hawa wala kuogopa ukubwa wa mtu?

Tano, Magufuli aliitaja kampuni ya TICTS na namna ilivyoongezewa mkataba kinyume cha sheria. Je ameichukulia hatua gani hiyo kampuni ya TICTS? Anataka ushahidi upi wakati kila kitu anakijua kama jinai ya kuiongozea kampuni ya TICTS mkataba wa miaka mitano kinyume cha sheria? Badala ya kuisimamisha kampuni husika hadi ichunguzwe na kufikishwa kwenye vyombo vya sheria, Magufuli alijipinga na kuangiza eti warekebishe mkataba. Unarekebisha nini wakati kila kitu ni haramu ab initio kisheria?

Sita, Magufuli aliwalaumu wasomi wa bandarini kuwa ndicho chanzo cha uzembe, wizi na uovu bandarini. Je kwanini asiwashughulikie hawa wasomi au ameamua kuwaonya au kuwatisha kwa vile hana namna ya kuwashughulikia?

Saba, bila kubadili mfumo wa sasa na kurejesha maadili kitaifa ambapo kila mtanzania atajaza taarifa za kodi na kueleza mali yoyote itakayotiliwa shaka. Alisema kuwa wafanyakazi wa kwenye mafuta ni mabilionea. Je kwanini hakuwataja na kuwchukulia hatua wakati akijua kila kitu; kuna nini kinaendelea?

Tumalizie kwa kumtaka rais Magufuli atumbue badala ya kulalamika au amechoka kutumbua? Turudie swali kuu muhimu. Kama rais mwenye mamlaka kisheria, vyombo vya upelelezi na taarifa tayari analalamika, hawa wananchi wa kawaida wanaoibiwa mali yao watafanya nini?

Kwa Hili, Naingia Bongolalaland Kuwekeza Ardhini

≪ Previous: Magufuli aache kulalamikia maovu atumbue

Baada ya kugundua kuwa kuna magabacholi wanaweza kuja Bongolalaland na kughushi vyeti vya kuzaliwa na kujizolea ardhi kila kona watakavyo kama alivyofanya Hamnazo Pateli, mlevi sitaki niachwe nyuma wakati naweza kuukata bila kutoa jasho. Nani hataki ulaji wa dezo hasa kwenye shamba la bibi tena bibi mwenye kipofu? Pamoja na ulevi na mibangi yangu, sikujua kuwa bado kuna walevi duniani wanaoweza kuchezea ardhi na mali zao asilia kwa kuruhusu majambazi na matapeli wa kigeni kuja kujineemesha wakati walevi tukiendelea kunyotolewa roho na ukapa, umaskini na ujinga wa kujitakia.

Baada ya kuinyaka hii inshu, pamoja na kupanga namna ya kujilimbikizia ardhi na kwenda kuchukua mikopo na midebe benki na kuukata, nilitamani niwe dingi mwenyewe ili ninyonge wahalifu hawa. Kwani wanadhani mzee Mchonga wa Burito aliyelinda ardhi alikuwa juha kama wao siyo? Hapa lazima nife na mlevi kabla ya kuingia kwenye mishemishe ya kuukata kirahisi huku walevi wakiendelea kukodoa mimacho kama hamnazo. Pamoja na uroho na roho mbaya yao, hata manyang’au wa kwa nonihino hawajawahi kuruhusu ardhi yao ichezewe na matapeli wawe wa kitasha, kichainizi hata kigabacholi kama ilivyo kwa Bongolalaland bin Danganyika ya walevi uchwara. Mnauza na kugawa ardhi ili baadaye muishie kuwa wakimbizi kwenye kaya jirani siyo? Nani aliyewaroga nyie wanahizaya kiasi cha kuanza sasa kutuguza pabaya kwa uroho na uchoyo wenu ukiachia mbali upogo na upofu na tamaa vya kipumbavu?

Hebu niulize swali la kichokonozi: Hivi kufuta hati za gabacholi aliyenyakua ardhi ndiyo jibu? Kwanini hamkumngoja akatia guu Bongo na kumtia lupango ili akajibu makosa ya kughushi hati na kujipatia mali kinyume cha sheria? Ningekuwa na lisirikali langu bila shaka hawa ningenyongelea mbali bila kusikia kelele za haki za walevi au kufunga maisha kama siyo kuramba shaba. Hapa lazima tujiulize maswali kibao. Je huyu gabacholi alisaidiwa na nani kupata na kughushi hizo nyaraka halafu akapewa ardhi kama hajatembeze kitu kidogo na kitu kikubwa? Je kuna genge la uuzaje ardhi ya walevi linalolenga kujineemesha kwa kuhujumu vizazi vijavyo? Hapa lazima dokta Kanywaji afe na mtu. Hapa hapahitaji kutumbua bali kuteketeza mwili wote uliooza.

Baada ya kueleza mawazo na namna ambavyo ningeshughulikia kadhia hii, ngoja nizame kwenye dili lenyewe.

Kwanza, nitaomba kazi kwenye ofisi ya vizazi na vifo ili kuweza kuwa jikoni ambako vyetu feki na halali hutoka. Bila shaka hapa ndipo gabacholi alikochezea karata zake kwanza, kabla ya kwenda benki kuchukua mamilioni ya njuluku na kwenda zake majuu kutimia kwa raha zake.

Pili, nitahakikisha napata mlevi wangu kwenye wizara ya ardhi ili nitakapotuma wateja wangu ambao nitawaghushia vyeti vya kuzaliwa wapete niendelee kupiga njuluku.

Tatu, lazima niwe na washikajio kwenye wizara ya mambo ya kaya hasa kwenye idara ya uhamiaji ambayo nitaitumia kama ya uhamishaji kama hawa wanaogawa ardhi kama hawana akili nzuri. Hapa, hata washikaji zangu wa kineigeria wanaosifika kwa kusafirisha bwimbwi lazima niwatoe njuluku ili wapate pasi za Bongolalaland na kusafirishia kago zao bila kustukiwa sana.

Nne, nitahakikisha napenya hata kwenya mabenki ili kuwawezesha wateja wangu nitakaowaghushia vyeti vya kuzaliwa wakapata ardhi ili waende huko kukopa kwa kuweka ardhi poni na kupata minjuluku kama alivyofanya gabacholi huyu ambaye bila shaka ana uhusiana na yule habithi Chavda aliyechukua mashamba yetu ya mkonge na kukopa njuluku na kutokomea zake ugabacholi kutumia na wachovu wa huko huku wachovu wa hapa wakiendelea kupika wakati mali wanayo lakini wanaikalia na kuifuja.

Mwisho, tuache utani na ujuha. Unapochezea ardhi, licha ya kuchezea amani, unaua mstakabali wa kaya hasa vizazi vijavyo. Achene ujuha na ufisi mthamini na kutunza mali za umma. Napendekeza wahusika wote wanyongwe. Na kwa taarifa yenu, hii biashara nimebadili mawazo. Sifanyi. Badala yake nitawawinda wale wote wanaouza vyeti vyetu vya kuzaliwa ili niwafanyie ugaidi kinomi. Thatha naona niishie hapa.

Mpayukaji aitwa kwa Joji Kichaka kupiga tafu kampeni

November 6, 2016, 10:38 am

≫ Next: Mihadarati: Kwanini Kikwete hamsaidii Magufuli?

≪ Previous: Kwa Hili, Naingia Bongolalaland Kuwekeza Ardhini

Baada ya lile baguzi la kunuka liitwalo Don Drumpfy kuanza kuchafua hali ya hewa kule kwa Joji Kichaka na Obamiza, chama cha Kidemokrasi kilimwomba mzee Mzima kutia timu kuokoa jahazi. Nilitua zangu La Guardia International Airport pale New York na kupokelewa na Bill na Hill. Kumbuka hii ilikuwa ni mara ya pili kuitwa kwenda kuokoa jahazi.

Hata hivyo, nimejifunza vitu viwili vitatu kwenye kampeni hizi za taifa kubwa ulimwenguni lenye kusifiwa kwa kudengua na kujivuvumua.

Kwanza, nimegundua kuwa taifa hili linaanza kuishiwa kulhali. Sikuamini kuwa ningekutana na ombaomba kibao na wachovu wasio na makazi kwenye jiji kubwa kama New York. Hivyo, naweza kusema kuwa uchumi wa wa kaya hii unaanza kuharibwa na vita vya kipuuzi vya kujitakia.

Pili, niligundua kuwa kumbe na kule kuna uchakachuaji. Maana Drumpfy amekuwa akipiga kelele kuwa uchaguzi utachakachuliwa hata kabla uchaguzi wenyewe haujafanyika. Drumpfy alinikumbusha kisa cha Joji Kichaka kumshinda Al Gore kwa bao la kisigino lililochezwa kwenye jimbo la Florida kipindi kile. Hali ninayoiona hapa, kama ingekuwa inatokea kwenye kaya ya Kiswahili , kwa mfano kuhusiana na vitisho anavyotoa Drumpfy, bila shaka wakubwa wa kaya hii wangekuwa wameishabweka kwa kupiga mkwara wakitishia na kuwaonya wanakaya kutochagua bomu kama Drumpfy.

Tatu, nimejifunza kuwa kaya ya kwa Joji Kichaka haijajifunza lolote tokana na historia yake ya ubaguzi wa rangi, dini na kijinsia. Nani amesahau namna waswahili walivyokuwa wakibaguliwa sawa na makaburu kule kwa mzee Diba wa Madiba? Kitu kingine kilichonichekesha ni kwa Drumpfy kuwachukia walatino wakati wanakuja kule kufanya vibarua na kulipwa njuluku kidogo na kuwafanya wakulima na waajiri wa kule kupiga njuluku bila kutoa jasho. Sijui hili nalo linahitaji PhD?

Ukimsikia huyu Drumpfy sera zake ni ubaguzi mtupu na ushenzi usio na mfano. Huyu jamaa anakera Mungu pekee ndiye ajuaye. Pia ni mkware wa kunuka anayejifisia kuweza kumfanyia mwana mama yoyote kitu chochote hata bila ridhaa yake. Anachukia waislamu na walatino hakuna mfano. Amependekeza kujenga ukutua kwenye mpaka na Mexco ili kuzuia wazamiaji kuingia Umarekanini na kufaidi kama magabacholi wanavyofaidi afria.

Kama haitoshi, aliwahi kutamka kuwa Afrika ilipaswa kutawaliwa upya ili iweze kuendelea. Juzi nilikuwa na mpango wa kumvamia na kumuuliza kama aliwahi kusikia habari za Joni Kanywaji Makufuli na mambo Anayofanya. Pia nilitaka kumuuliza kama anamjua Bob Jongwe Mugabe ambaye aliwahi kutaka kutuma wasimamizi wa uchaguzi Umarikanini hasa baada ya uibuka lile sakata la uchakachuaji ulimuingiza Joji Kichaka White House.Ajabu, pamoja na kuwa baguzi la kunuka, mkwepa kodi, muongo mkubwa, bado anapata kura.

Nani angeamiani kuwa kaya inayojifanya mtetezi mkuu wa demokrasia ingeishia kuwa kiongozi wa ghasia?

Nne, nimegundua kuwa watasha nao wana mambo ya Kiswahili usiambiwe. Wakati wa mchana wanajifanya kumchukia Drumpfy tokana na kutokuwa na sera na kama anazo ni za kibaguzi ingawa usiku wanamuunga mkono. Wanafanya kama wale wazee na baadhi ya wanachama wa Chama Cha Maulaji (CCM) wanaoshinda CCM na kulala kwenye upingaji kama alivyowahi kusema jamaa mmoja.

Tano, nilishangaa jitu ambalo linasifika kwa kukwepa kodi na kutapeli wachovu kuruhusiwa kugombea cheo kama hiki. Hapa bila shaka kuna namna. Sitashangaa kuona Umarekanini ikifilisika kama Uingerezani ambayo kwa sasa imebakia kuwa mkia wa Umarikanini wakati hapo zamani ndilo lilikuwa taifa kubwa kuliko yote likisifika kwa ujambazi, ujangili na ukoloni duniani kote.

Ukigeukia mgombea wa upande wa pili yaani bi Mkubwa Hill, nako kuna wingu hasa usiri na utumiaji wa vifaa binafsi kupitisha barua pepe kiasi cha kuhatarisha usalama wa kaya hii kubwa. Hata hivyo, ukilinganisha substance ya wagombea wawili, lau mwana mama anaonyesha mwelekeo. Kama atashinda, atakuwa ni mama wa kwanza kukaa White House kama top na kuwa amiri jeshi wa kwanza mwanamke ukiachia mbali kuwa First Lady wa kwanza kuwafanya hivyo.

Kama siyo sirikali nyingi za Umarekanini zilizopita kutawaliwa na ufisadi na ulafi, huyu mama angesepa bila kutoa jasho hadi kulazimika kuniita nimpe tafu. Guess what. Wamarekanini wanachukia sirikali; na hawana imani nazo tena. Wanachukia kile wanachokiita Washington Bureaucracy. Wanaona mji wao mkuu kama kikwazo cha maendeleo yao ambapo vigogo huenda kupiga dili badala ya kuwatumikia wachovu.

Tokana na kutokuwa na muda wa kuchonga, kijiwe cha leo kitakuwa kifupi. Kwanini nina ratiba ya kuruka na pipa kwenda kwenye kampeni ya kuua mtu. Hadi hapo tarehe 8 Novemba, nitakuwa nikijitahidi kumpiga tafu bi mkubwa. Hata hivyo, pamoja na misukosuko anayopata, mambo basi yanatia imani. Anapiga Drumpfy mbele nyuma na kila kona tena bila huruma.

Hivyo, nawasalimia wasomaji wote na wanakijiwe wote toka mlioko huko kutoka huku duniani.

Mihadarati: Kwanini Kikwete hamsaidii Magufuli?

November 6, 2016, 10:40 am

≫ Next: If Clinton trumps Trump Tomorrow

≪ Previous: Mpayukaji aitwa kwa Joji Kichaka kupiga tafu kampeni

Japo balaa la uuzaji na utumiaji wa madawa ya kulevya nchini linazidi kugeuka janga la taifa, si viongozi wengi wanapenda kuliongelea. Hata hivyo, hivi karibuni, akiongea kwenye wilayani Same, Kilimanjaro alipokuwa akizungumza wakati wa mahafali ya kwanza ya kidato cha nne katika shule ya sekondari ya Mtakatifu St.Joachim, spika mstaafu Anna Makinda aliamua kulitolea uvivu balaa hili. Makinda alikaririwa akisema “matumizi ya dawa za kulevya katika shule za sekondari yamekuwa ya kawaida ingawa madhara yake ni makubwa katika jamii. Madawa hayo yanachangia maadili kumomonyoka kwani kuna baadhi ya vijana wa kiume wanalawitiana wenyewe kwa wenyewe.” Hapa unaweza kuona kuibuka balaa jingine la ulawiti na umalaya miongoni mwa vijana wanaotegemewa kuwa viongozi na wazazi wa baadaye. Hii maana yake ni kwamba taifa litajikuta likiwa na kizazi kijacho cha hovyo ambapo watoto wengi wanaweza kuzaliwa wakiwa na athari za mihadarati ukiachia mbali kusambaa kwa kasi kwa maambukizi ya Ukimwi na magonjwa mengine yatokanayo na ulawiti na umalaya.

Makinda alikwenda mbali na kusema “hali kwa sasa si nzuri, yaani matumizi ya dawa hizo yameongezeka, ndiyo maana ninasema kuna haja ya kuongeza nguvu za kupambana na matumizi ya dawa hizo.” Kwa wanaojali mstakabali wa taifa na wanaojua historia ya mapambano dhidi ya balaa hili, watakumbuka namna rais mstaafu Jakaya Kikwete alivyowahi kuiambia dunia kuwa vyombo vyake vya usalama vilikuwa vimempatia orodha ya vigogo wa madawa ya kulevya; lakini–kwa sababu anazojua mwenyewe–wala hakuwahi kuwashughulikia japo mmoja. Sana sana kilichotokea na kupoteza maisha ya mbunge Amina Chifupa aliyekuwa ameapa kuweka mambo hadharani akisema hata kama mhusika angekuwa mumewe ambaye pia ni marehemu. Na wote wawili wamekufa kwenye mazingira ya kutatanisha kiasi cha kuonyesha namna kadhia hivi ilivyo nchini.

Kwa vile rais John Pombe Magufuli ameonyesha uzalendo wa hali ya juu wa kutaka kukomesha maovu nchini, tunamshauri Kikwete ampe hiyo orodha aliyoshindwa kuifanyia kazi ili Magufuli aifanyie kazi. Ukiachia hili, kama tutakuwa serious, wanaouza na kutumia madawa ya kulevya wanajulikana; hasa ikizingatiwa kuwa utumiaji wa madawa haya unafanyika wazi wazi. Mbali na watumiaji, wauza unga nao ni rahisi kuwabaini. Kamata watu wote waliotajirika ghafla bila kujulikana wanafanya shughuli gani za kuwatajirisha haraka kiasi hiki.

Katika kupambana na watu wa namna hii, serikali inapaswa kwenda mbali na kuchunguza watuhumiwa wote bila kujali wamejificha nyuma ya shughuli gani. Kwani, uzoefu unaonyesha wahalifu wanajificha nyuma ya vitu kama uongozi wa kiroho, sanaa, hata biashara nyingine. Tuna mifano ambapo baadhi ya wahalifu walijificha nyuma ya vyeo safi kama vya kiroho japo si viongozi wote wa kiroho. Mchungaji Joh Arinze (52) mwenye makazi yake nchini Afrika Kusini alikamatwa akiwa na kilo 174 za madawa haya mwezi Julai mwaka huu nchini Afrika Kusini na kumueleza kama Mhalifu Mtakatifu (holy criminal), kwa mjibu wa gazeti la Pulse (2 July, 2016).

Mwingine aliyekamatwa akiwa amevaa ngozi ya kondoo ni Mtume wa Kanisa la milele la Maserafi na Makerubi, Michael Raji (60) akiwa na madawa yenye uzito wa kilo 174 kwa mujibu wa gazeti la Vanguard (17 February, 2015).

Kesi iliyostua ulimwengu ni ile ya mkuu wa majeshi ya majini wa zamani wa Guinea Bissau, Rear Admiral Jose Americo Bubo Na Tchuto (70) aliyekamatwa mwaka 2013 na kuhukumiwa kifungo cha miaka mine nchini Marekani, kwa mjibu wa shirika la habari la Reuters (4 Oktoba, 2016) alipokiri kutaka kuingiza madawa nchini humo mwaka 2014.

Ukiangalia uzito wa cheo cha mhusika, unapata picha kuwa biashara hii inawahusisha watu wakubwa sana hata usiowadhania. Ndiyo maana tunamtaka rais mstaafu Kikwete atoe hiyo orodha ya watuhumiwa aliokiri bila kulazimishwa kuwa alikuwa amepewa kama hana maslahi binafsi nayo.

Kiashiria kingine kinachoonyesha kuwa mtandao wa wauza madawa ya kulevya ni mkubwa unaohusisha vigogo wengi nchini ni ile hali iliyofichuliwa na rais Magufuli uwanja wa ndege na bandarini ambako alikuwa scanners hazifanyi kazi. Kwa maana hiyo, wahalifu wamekuwa wakipitisha kago zao bila taabu huku wakiishia kutajirika na kuwakoga wenzao wakati ni uhalifu mtupu. Kuna haja ya kuwa serious kuhusiana na kadhia hii na kuepuka kuangalia sura ya mtu. Kikwete anapaswa aeleze ni kwanini hakushughulikia orodha ya watu aliyopewa na ni akina nani na ana maslahi gani nao. Japo ana kinga, sidhani kama kinga hiyo inahusiana na makosa ya jinai kama haya. Mbali na hili, Tanzania inapaswa kupitisha sheria ya ima kuwanyonga au kuwagunga maisha wote watakaopatikana na hatia ya kuuza au kula unga ili kutoa taarifa kwa wale ambao hawajakamatwa au wanapanga kufanya hivyo. Maana, kwa hali ilivyo, sawa na ufisadi, ni kama biashara ya mihadarati ilikuwa imehalalishwa kwa mlango wa nyuma hasa baada ya Kikwete kugoma kuwashughulikia wahusika anaowajua kwa majina.

Tumalizie kwa kumtaka Kikwete ampe hiyo orodha Kikwete. Kama ataendelea kuifanya mali binafsi, basi tunamtaka Magufuli atumie rungu lake la urais kumtaka atoe orodha hiyo. Kwani si mali binafsi.
