Ni haki ya kila mmoja kukijua na kujivunia, kabla hata ya kwenda shule kile anachokiona kuwa ni cha maana kwake na kwa taifa lake. Pichani ni Mtoto Raphael akiwa amevalia tshirt yenye bendera ya marekani kama fahari kwake pia inaarifiwa kwamba mtoto huyu anazitambua rangi zote tatu zilizomo katika bendera ya nchi yake ingawa hajaanza shule bado.

Hii ni moja kati ya picha nyingi zilizobandikwa nchini Ufaransa wakati wa kipindi cha uchaguzi zilizokuwa zikimuelezea Rais mteule wa Marekani Bw. Baraka Obama, (tafsiri ya maneno aliyoandikwa katika picha hii yanauliza, 'Obama ni nani'). Watabiri wa mambo wanadai kwamba rais Obama anaweza kuwa ndiye mtu maarufu na aliyetangazwa sana na vyombo vya habari duniani kote kwa mwaka 2008.

Hata katika mabonde na miamba migumu jamaa wameweza kupitisha reli kama moja ya njia kuu za ushafirishaji wa bidhaa na abiria.

Ndejembi michael.

Hili ni moja kati ya moja ya madaraja ya reli hiyo ambayo yako katika ya moja ya mto iliko nchini korea. juu ya hili daraja ni barabara na chini ya hili daraja kuna kivuko.

Ndejembi Michael.

hata hivyo kukabiliana na ujenzi wa njia za usafiirishaji na hasa reli si kazi rahisi na hasa ikiwa eneo husika liko kwenye mabonde na vilima kwani reli inapaswa kuwa katika eneo ambalo ni tambarale.
lakini wakisukumwa na dhamira za dhati wa-korea wameweza kujenga reli zao kama picha hii inavyoonekana.

Maendeleo ya kiuchumi katika nchi au jamii yeyote duniani hutegemea mambo mengi muhimu na moja kati ya hayo ni usafirishaji. Hii ni moja kati ya njia kuu za isafirishaji nchini korea ambazo zimesaidia sana ukuaji wa uchumi wa taifa hilo ambalo kwa sasa ni moja kati ya mataifa yenye nguvu kubwa za kiuchumi duniani.

Uwe ni wakati mnzuri wa kutafakari yaliyopita, yaliyopo na yajayo kabla ya kuamua kipindi kijacho tuwe katika mtazamo gani.

Kwa niaba yangu, viongozi wenzangu na wanachama wote wa Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) hapa Marekani tunapenda kuwatakia kila la kheri na baraka ya sikukuu hii ya Christmas watanzania wote popote pale walipo tukiwaombea afya njema, sikuku yenye amani na utulivu na furaha vitawale mnaposherehekea sikukuu hii

Kenya, Uganda fail US aid test again, Tanzania passes

Kenya and Uganda have once again been deemed ineligible for a special US development aid programme that is providing Tanzania with nearly $700 million over the next five years.According to “scorecards” issued last week, Kenya fails to qualify for the Millennium Challenge assistance because it falls short of an anti-corruption standard for the fourth consecutive year.That finding will have disappointed Foreign Minister Moses Wetang’ula.He stated in an interview during a September visit to the United Nations that US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had assured him that Kenya would soon be approved for a Millennium Challenge grant.In addition to failing the anti-corruption test that countries must pass in order to qualify for the aid, Kenya was judged to be lagging in regard to rule of law, immunisation rates, health expenditures and fiscal policy.The country was given passing grades on 12 criteria, including political rights and government effectiveness.Uganda is not entitled to receive Millennium Challenge funds because it meets one less than the minimal number of standards for potential eligibility.Uganda fails on measurements of political rights, civil liberties, immunisation rates, health expenditures, girls’ completion of primary education and fiscal policy.Tanzanian and American officials are meanwhile completing preparations for a Millennium Challenge programme aimed at greatly improving the country’s road and electricity networks.The scope of this initiative suggests that Kenya and Uganda could also receive substantial infrastructure aid if they were to pass the performance tests established by US monitors.The $698 million development assistance compact with Tanzania is the largest package of aid among 16 that have so far been approved for developing countries.The agreements total $5.5 billion, with more than half that amount going to eight countries in black Africa: Benin, Cape Verde, Ghana, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mali, Mozambique and TanzaniaFor more than a year, Kenya and Uganda have both been getting help from US officials on how to meet the necessary aid criteria.The two countries were accepted into a “threshold programme” designed to address problems that have prevented selected countries from qualifying for a full Millennium Challenge compact.Kenya was awarded $12.7 million for efforts to reduce corruption in the public procurement system.The Kenyan government had previously identified the Ministry of Health and its Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (Kemsa) as being “particularly susceptible to waste, fraud and abuse throughout the procurement and delivery process,” according to a Millennium Challenge report.The threshold programme has thus involved a series of workshops on public procurement reforms in which 43 Kenyan procurement entities have so far taken part.A review of Kemsa’s procurement practices has also been carried out.A Millennium Challenge status report on Kenya published last month says this assessment of Kemsa “marks a giant step forward in transparency.”Also as part of the Millennium threshold initiative, Kenyan procurement overseers took part earlier this year in a study visit to the Tanzania Public Procurement Regulatory Authority.The Tanzanians offered advice on how Kenya might improve its performance in this realm.Uganda’s $10.4 million threshold programme is focused on procurement reforms as well, with the added aim of improving the effectiveness of investigations by the National Fraud Squad.“Progress was sustained in mobilising civil society and the private sector in the fight against corruption,” according to a Millennium Challenge status report on Uganda.Tanzania has been undergoing its own threshold programme even though it has qualified for full Millennium Challenge assistance.This initiative “has provided critical assistance to sustain Tanzania’s anti-corruption reform movement,” a Millennium Challenge report says.It notes that 77 districts in the country have established public expenditure tracking systems while 360 villages now have notice boards on which residents can see income and expenditure information for their local areas.More than 150 prosecutors have recently been hired through the threshold programme as part of Tanzania’s efforts to pursue corruption cases more vigorously.

UKAIDI HUU SI WAKUVUMILIWA.

Huu ni upande wa mbele wa kiwanda cha Brookside kilichopo Arusha - Tanzania kinachodaiwa kuwa ni cha kusindika maziwa, hata hivyo habari za kuaminika zinasema kwamba kiwanda hiki si cha kusindika maziwa na kwamba kimekuwa na kawaida ya kukusanya maziwa na kuyapeleka Kenya ili yasindikwe na kisha kuyarudisha Tanzania ili kuyatafutia masoko. Hivi karibuni waziri wa viwanda na biashara Dr. Mary Nagu alikipiga marufuku kiwanda hicho kwa madai hayo hayo hata hivyo agizo hilo lilipuuzwa kwa kile kilielezwa kwamba serikali ya Tanzania haiwezi kufanya chochote kwa kuwa kiwanda hicho kinamilikiwa na familia ya rais wa zamani wa Kenya Bw. Jomo Kenyatta. Mama Nagu upo?
