Mizengo Kayanza Peter Pinda warns Chinese firm for delaying road project

Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda has threatened to take action against a Chinese company building the Arusha-Namanga road if it fails to complete its work within the agreed time.
Pinda who is in Arusha for a three-day official tour gave the warning on Saturday after he inspected the construction work.

“Chinese people are our friends, but we won’t allow laxity. We want the road to be completed within the agreed time”, he said.

The tarmac road linking Tanzania and Kenya is 104.4 kilometres long and 11 metres wide as required by international standards.

Construction started in July this year and is expected to be completed within three years, but todate, the Chinese company has done little, claiming that it has had to order some construction materials from China, and has also failed to find locally qualified engineers.

However, the resident engineer pledged to the prime minister that the company will speed up the construction process to ensure that work is completed within the set time. The Premier promised to visit the road again in January next year.

Cuba seeks Dar's help to have citizens released from us jails

CCM vice-chairman (Tanzania Mainland) Pius Msekwa exchanges documents with Cuban ambassador Ernesto Gomez Diaz after signing a cooperation agreement between CCM and the Communist Party of Cuba in Dar es Salaam yesterday

The government of Cuba yesterday appealed to Tanzania to support its decision to pressurize the United States to free five Cuban nationals currently being held in US jails.

Speaking during the signing of a five-year cooperation agreement between Communist Party of Cuba and Chama Cha Mapinduzi in Dar es Salaam yesterday, the Cuban ambassador to Tanzania, Mr Ernesto Gomez Diaz, asked CCM and the Government of Tanzania to join hands in efforts the have five Cuban heroes set free.

Mr Diaz said the five heroes who were fighting against terrorism, have for the past 11 years been unfairly held and subjected to torture in American jails.

"I kindly ask CCM and Tanzania to join the international movement to free the captives ... they are symbols of our determination to defend with dignity our freedom and independence," said Mr Diaz.

He said in this movement, Cuba needs support from its Tanzanian brothers and sisters. The Cuban ambassador also expressed his sincere gratitude to the Government of Tanzania for support it has given, especially in their fight against United States injustice acts on the Cubans.

"We take this opportunity to thank the solidarity and support we have always received from Tanzania in our fight against criminal and genocide blockade imposed by the United States against our people," he added. On his part, the CCM deputy chairman (Mainland), Mr Pius Msekwa, promised to implement the agreement reached between the two parties for the betterment of the people of Cuba and Tanzania.

"We have enjoyed close cooperation between our parties for many years since the leadership of Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, and though the cooperation, we have been able to fight against colonialism and for freedom for our countries," said Mr Msekwa. He said:

"In this agreement, we will exchange ideas and delegations... this is a normal tradition for political parties like ours to have such agreements." In the agreement, CCM and CPC will see both parties exchange experiences, delegations and information meant to strengthen them.

The signing of the agreement was also an occasion to remember the over 2,000 Cuban voluntary soldiers who lost their lives in the African soil, helping Africans to fight against colonialism.

The CPC was founded in 1925 by the Moscow-trained members of the Third International. In 1940s and early 1950s, Cuba was led by a Fulgencio Batista who was overthrown by Fidel Castrol in 1960.

NAPE AWATAHADHALISHA WAUZA UNGA KUTOFADHILI VYAMA VYA SIASA.

MJUMBE wa Halmashauri Kuu ya Taifa ya CCM,Nape Nnauye(Pichani), amesema vitendo watu wanaojihusisha na biashara ya madawa ya kulevya kufadhili vyama vya siasa katika uchaguzi mkuu,vinasababisha serikali inayoingia madarakani kutekeleza matakwa ya wafadhili hao.

Nape alisema hayo jana jijini Dar es Salaam,alipokuwa akizundua Chama Kuweka na Kukopa cha Upendo Group ambapo alisema serikali inayochaguliwa kwa njia hiyo itakuwa ya wauza madawa ambao maamuzi yao hayawezi kuleta maendeleo kwa wananchi.

“Hao wauza unga wanapopata nafasi ya kukifadhili chama cha siasa kisha chama hicho kikafanikiwa kuingia madarakani kwa nguvu za pesa zao,serikali ya chama hicho haitakuwa na uwezo wa kuwachukulia hatua watu hao na badala yake,itafanya maamuzi kwa muujibu wa wafadhili hao,”alisema Nnauye.

“Tukumbuke waswahili walisema “anayemlipa mpiga zumari ndiye anayechagua tuni ya muziki,wafadhili wa aina hiyo wakifanikiwa kukiweka chama madarakani kwa njia fedha zao,wanaweza kuichagulia serikali mambo ya kufanya kwa mgongo wa fedha zao,” alisema.
Kwa muda sasa, kumekuwa na hoja kuwa vyama vya siasa nchini,vinategemea kupata fedha za kampeni kutoka kwa wafadhili wao bila kujali nyanzo vya fedha hizo na athari zake kwa taifa.Hata hivyo Nape ambaye alitoa Sh1.2milioni ili kukiwezesha upendo group kufungua saccos yao alisema vyama vya siasa visivyo kuwa makini na watu hao kuna siku vitajutia.

TAARIFA MAALUM KWA WANANCHI

MABADILIKO YA SIKU YA KUPANDA MITI KITAIFA.

Serikali imebadilisha Siku ya Taifa ya Kupanda Miti kutoka Januari Mosi ya kila mwaka na kuwa Aprili Mosi. Mabadiliko hayo yametokanana Waraka wa Waziri Mkuu Na 1 wa mwaka 2009 kuhusu kubadili Siku ya Taifa ya Kupanda Miti kutoka Januari Mosi na kuwa Aprili Mosi ya Kila mwaka.

Kwa mujibu wa waraka huo, kuanzia mwaka 2010 Siku ya Taifa ya Kupanda Miti itaadhimishwa Aprili Mosi ya kila mwaka. Waraka huo unaanza kutumika rasmi tarehe 01 Juni, 2009 na unafuta waraka wa Waziri Mkuu Namba 1 wa Oktoba, 2000.

Uamuzi wa kubadilisha siku hiyo unatokana na mapendekezo yaliyotolewa na Mhe. Jakaya Kikwete, Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania Januari Mosi 2008 aliposhiriki maadhimisho ya Siku ya Taifa ya Kupanda Miti na kutaka maadhimisho hayo yahamishiwe kipindi ambacho sehemu nyingi za nchi zitakuwa zinapata mvua.

Kwa mujibu wa waraka huo, Aprili Mosi itakuwa ni siku ya Taifa kuhamasisha upandaji miti huku kila mkoa ukiendelea kujipangia Siku ya Kupanda Miti kutokana na majira ya mvua yatakavyoruhusu. Ili kazi ya kupanda miti iwe inatekelezwa na wadau wote, Waraka huo umeagiza Wizara, Mikoa, Wilaya, Viongozi wa wilaya, Halmashauri za Jiji, Manispaa na Mamlaka za Miji midogo, Tarafa, Kata, Vijiji na mitaa kuandaa programu za utekelezaji mapema iwezekanavyo.

Maafisa Misitu walioko mijini, mikoani, wilayani na vijijini wametakiwa kuwa mstari wa mbele katika kutoa ushauri wa kitaalamu kuhusu aina ya mbegu na miche inayofaa katika eneo husika na kushauri utayarishaji wa vitalu vya miche kwa wakati unaofaa.Waraka umemtaka kila kiongozi ahakikishe zoezi la upandaji miti linatekelezwa na kusimamiwa ipasavyo kwenye eneo lake.

Aidha, pamoja na masuala mengine kiongozi atapimwa kutokana na juhudi zake za kuhamasisha, kutekeleza na kusimamia wananchi kupanda miti. Halmashauri zote kwa kushirikiana na mamlaka husika, zihakikishe kuwa upandaji miti ni pamoja na kupanda kando kando ya barabara zote nchini.

Waraka huo umetahadharisha kuwa kupanda miti pekee hakutoshi kukabiliana na jangwa kama hatua za makusudi za kutunza na kulinda uoto wa asili hazitachukuliwa. Siku ya Taifa ya Kupanda Miti iliadhimishwa kitaifa kwa mara ya kwanza mwaka 2001 katika eneo la Jangwani mkoani Dar es Salaam.

NAIBU WAZIRIWIZARA YA MALIASILI NA UTALII

OBAMA AWASILI KOREA KUSINI.

MIKATABA YA BIASHARA KATI YA MAREKANI NA KOREA KUSINI NDIO MAADA KUU

Rais Barack Obama wa Marekani amewasili Korea Kusini kituo cha mwisho cha ziara yake barani Asia ambapo suala la kuishawishi Korea Kaskazini kurudi katika mazungumzo ya kimataifa ya kutokomeza silaha za nuklea limatarajiwa kuhodhi mazungumzo kati yake na rais mwenzake wa Korea Kusini Lee Myung Bak.

Masuala mengine yatakayojadiliwa hapo kesho ni ushirika wa usalama pamoja na mkataba wa biashara huru uliokwama kati ya nchi hizo mbili.Serikali ya Korea Kusini imekuwa ikionyesha kuchoka kusubiri juhudi za serikali ya Marekani kuzungumzia upya sehemu za makubaliano makubwa ya Mkataba wa Biashara Huru (PTA) uliosainiwa takriban miezi 29 iliopita lakini bado ukisubiri kuridhiwa.

Msemaji wa Rais Lee wa Korea Kusini amesema wanatumai Rais Obama atatowa msimamo wa nguvu zaidi juu ya suala la mkataba huo na kwamba wanajiandaa kufanikisha hilo.
Taifa la kikomunisti la Korea Kaskazini limejaribu kuupima utawala wa Obama kwa kufyatua makombora kadhaa, kwa kufanya jaribio la pili la silaha za nuklea na vitendo kadhaa vya uhasama karibu na nchi rafiki wa Marekani Korea Kusini. Marekani imeweka wanajeshi wake 28,000 nchini Korea Kusini kuzima tishio lolote lile kutoka Korea Kaskazini na Obama anatazamiwa kuhutubia baadhi ya vikosi hivyo hapo kesho mchana kabla ya kuondoka kurudi Washington.

Manowari za Korea Kusini na Kaskazini zilishambuliana vikali kwa muda mfupi wiki iliopita baada ya Korea Kusini kusema kwamba mashua ya Korea Kaskazini ilivuka mpaka wa bahari wanaougombania.

Obama amesema serikali ya Marekani haiwezi kuoogopeshwa na vitisho vya nuklea vya Korea Kaskazini lakini iko tayari kuipatia nchi hiyo iliojitenga mustakbali wa usalama wenye ustawi na badala yake nchi hiyo ikubali kutokomeza kabisa silaha za nuklea.

Obama alisema 'Kwa miongo kadhaa Korea Kaskazini imeamua kufuata njia ya malumbano na uchokozi ikiwa ni pamoja na kutaka kuwa na silaha za nuklea .Kwa hiyo njia ya Korea Kaskazini kufanikisha mustakbali wake ni kurudi katika mazungumzo ya pande sita kutekeleza ahadi za nyuma ikiwa ni pamoja na kurudi katika mkataba wa kutokomneza silaha za nuklea na kutokomeza kabisa kunakoyakinishwa kwa silaha za nuklea katika bara la Korea.'

Tokea mwezi wa Augusti serikali ya Korea Kaskazini imekuwa ikitoa ishara ya kutaka amani kwa Marekani na Korea Kusini.Kiongozi wa nchi hiyo Kim Jong- Il ameeleza kuwa tayari kurudi katika jukwaa la pande sita iwapo mazungumzo ya pande mbili kati yake na Marekani yanayotarajiwa mwezi ujao yatakuwa ya kuridhisha.

Rais Lee wa Korea Kusini amekuwa na ushirikiano wa karibu na Obama juu ya suala hilo na mengineyo lakini inatarajiwa kwamba Lee atamshinikiza mgeni wake huyo katika suala la makubaliano ya biashara huru ambayo yamekwama tokea yalipotiwa saini hapo mwezi wa Juni mwaka 2007.

Afisa wa rais wa Korea Kusini amekaririwa akisena wiki hii kwamba Rais Lee anatazamiwa kusisitiza umuhimu wa mkataba huo na kwamba ni zaidi ya miaka miwili tokea kusainiwa kakwe kwa hiyo unahitaji kuridhiwa haraka.

Wakati alipokuwa mgombea wa urais Obama aliutaja mkataba huo kuwa na kasoro kubwa sana na utawala wake tayari umedokeza kwamba unataka mabadiliko ya kuifunguwa zaidi Korea Kusini kwa wafanya biashara wa magari na nyama ya n'gombe wa Marekani.

Korea Kusini inapinga mazungumzo yoyote yale mapya kwa kile kitakachokuwa mkataba mkubwa kabisa wa biashara wa Marekani tokea ule mkataba wa biashara Huru wa Amerika Kaskazini wa mwaka 1994.

Obama hapo Jumatano alikamilisha ziara yake ya siku tatu nchini China ambapo amesema Marekani na China zinataka kutanuwa ushusiano wao wa kimkakati .

Mama Kikwete yuko katika ziara ya kikazi ya siku mbili mkoani humo.

NITAUFANYA UONGOZI WANGU KUWA WA VIJANA ZAIDI, TEMU- 2

Rais Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete ameahidi kuwa kama akijaliwa kupata kipindi cha pili cha kuliongoza taifa la Tanzania, atafanya jitihada kubwa kuubadilisha uongozi wa Tanzania kuwa uongozi wa vijana. Rais Kikwete pia amesema kuwa vijana ndiyo Tanzania ya kesho, na kama Tanzania haikuwekeza vya kutosha katika vijana na maendeleo yao, basi itakuwa haiwekezi katika hali yake ya baadaye.

Who is Jakaya Kikwete? - Tanzania's head of state on his way to Jamaica

Nadisha Hunter, Gleaner Writer

Political stalwart, Jakaya Kikwete, the man who is to pay Jamaica a state visit in a few days, is one of a new generation of African leader championing a free market, stronger ties to the West and the ultimate unification of Africa.

Graduating with a degree in economics in the mid-1970s, Kikwete opted for a low-paying job as an executive functionary officer in The Chama Cha Mapinduzi (Party of the Revolution in Swahili), Tanzania's ruling party. This gave him the opportunity to work at the grass-roots level.
Kikwete sharpened his leadership acumen in the military, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. From 1984 to 1986, Kikwete was chief political instructor and political commissar at the military academy.

Full-time politician

Kikwete retired from the military as a lieutenant colonel, when he chose to become a full-time politician.
In elective party politics, Kikwete started shining in 1982, when he was overwhelmingly elected to be a member of the National Executive Committee. This is the highest policy and decision-making body of a party.

He has won re-elections to the body every five years since then. Kikwete moved from one position to another in the party ranks. He was made member of parliament and deputy minister for energy and minerals and was promoted to full minister responsible for the ministry of water, energy and minerals.

At age 44, he became one of the youngest finance ministers in the history of Tanzania. At the Treasury, he established discipline in public finance management and accountability. He is remembered for establishing a cash-budget system and revamping revenue-collection structures, methods and institutions.

He later became minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation, a position he held for ten years, until he was elected the fourth president of the United Republic of Tanzania in 2005.

Deeply involved

During his tenure in foreign affairs, Tanzania played a significant role in bringing about peace in the Great Lakes region. Kikwete was also deeply involved in the process of rebuilding regional integration in East Africa.

He is a keen sportsman, having played basketball competitively in school. He has been a patron of the Tanzania Basketball Federation for the past 10 years. He is married to Salma Kikwete, and together, they have eight children.

So far, Kikwete's government has received accolades across the country and in the donor community for fighting corruption and investing in people, particularly in education.

Kikwete's small East African country is largely agricultural. In fact, agriculture accounts for more than half of Tanzania's GDP, providing approximately 85 per cent of exports, and employs 80 per cent of the workforce.

Tourism is also a promising sector for the country, with a number of new hotels and resorts having been built in recent years.

Politics in Tanzania takes place in a framework of a unitary presidential democratic republic, whereby the president of Tanzania is both head of state and head of government, and of a multi-party system.

KIKWETE AHUTUBIA MKUTANO WA USALAMA WA CHAKULA.

Rome, Italia

Ni jambo aibu kwamba bado watu wanaendelea kufa kwa njaa duniani, bila sababu ya maana, kwa sababu dunia inacho chakula cha kutosha kuweza kumulisha kila binadamu, Rais Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete amesema leo, Jumatatu, Novemba 16, 2009.

Akihutubia Mkutano wa Wakuu wa Nchi Kuhusu Hali ya Usalama wa Chakula Duniani katika makao makuu ya Shirika la Chakula na Kilimo Duniani (FAO) mjini hapa, Rais Kikwete amesema kuwa wakati umefika kwa dunia kukomesha aibu hiyo.

“Tokea nilipoanza kusoma hotuba yangu, kiasi cha sekunde 60 zilizopita, watoto kiasi cha kumi tayari wamekwishakufa kwa njaa. Ni dhahiri basi kuwa hatuna tena muda wa kupoteza katika kujaribu kukabiliana na balaa hili,” Rais Kikwete amewaambia wajumbe wa mkutano huo ulioanza leo asubuhi.

Rais Kikwete aliongeza, “Ni aibu kubwa kwa upande wetu kwa mtoto ama hata mtu mwingine yoyote mzima katika kona yoyote ya dunia yetu hii kwenda kitandani akiwa na njaa ama kufa kwa njaa. Kuna chakula cha kutosha kwenye ulimwengu wetu huu kuhakikisha kuwa vifo hivyo havitokei.”

Rais pia amesema kuwa dunia inazo nyenzo na raslimali za kutosha, teknolojia mwafaka na ujuzi unaofaa kuweza kuzalisha chakula cha kutosha kwa sasa na hata katika miaka ijayo. Amesema kuwa kinachotakiwa kwa dunia kutokomeza njaa duniani ni kwa kushirikiana na kuamsha ari muhimu ya kisiasa ili kuweza kukabiliana na changamoto hiyo.

“Kwa hakika ni jambo la kutia moyo kuwa Azimio la Mkutano huu tulilolipitisha asubuhi hii linathibitisha ari yetu ya pamoja kutaka kumaliza njaa wakati wa uhai wetu. Nimefurahi kuwa Azimio hilo limesisitiza umuhimu wa kurekebisha makosa ya kutokuwekeza kiasi cha kutosha katika “usalama wa chakula, kilimo na maendeleo.”

Rais Kikwete pia ametaka misaada ya maendeleo katika kilimo kuongezwa kwa kuwa imeshuka mno kutoka asilimia 19 mwaka 1980 hadi kufikia asilimia tano mwaka huu.“Sasa ni wakati wa kubadilisha hali hii. Ningependelea kuwa katika Azimio letu tungeweka malengo na muda wa kufikia malengo hayo, ama hata kulenga kuongeza maradufu kiwango hicho cha uwekezaji wa sasa katika kilimo.”

Rais Kikwete pia amezitaka nchi zinazoendelea kuhakikisha kuwa bajeti za nchi hizo zinakuwa na fedha za kutosha kulingana na misaada itakayotolewa na nchi tajiri ili kuwekeza katika kilimo.Akizungumzia kuhusu Tanzania amesema kuwa “kwetu sisi kilimo ni chakula na ni kila kitu katika maisha. Kiasi cha asilimia 80 ya watu wetu wote wanaishi vijijini na kilimo ndicho chimbuko lao kuu la maisha. Kilimo cha kisasa zaidi na chenye kuzalisha zaidi kitapunguza kiwango cha umasikini kidogo na kuongeza hali bora zaidi kwa watu wetu walio wengi.”

Rais Kikwete pia amesema kuwa uwekezaji katika kilimo utakuwa na athari kubwa na nzuri kwenye chumi za nchi masikini. “Wachumi wanabashiri, kwa imani kabisa, kuwa kila asilimia mia moja inayoongezeka kwenye uzalishaji wa kilimo, husababisha ongezeko la asilimia 1.6 ya nyongeza kwenye mapato ya asilimia 20 watu masikini zaidi katika kila nchi.”

Kuhusu uhusiano kati ya kilimo na tabianchi, Rais Kikwete amewaambia wajumbe wa Mkutano huo kuwa Tanzania ina matumaini makubwa kwamba Mkutano wa Tabianchi uliopangwa kufanyika mjini Copenhagen, Denmark, mwezi ujao, utafikia maamuzi muhimu yanayoweza kunufaisha kilimo na kubatilisha madhara ya tabianchi.“Wakati tunapokutana kwenye Mkutano Kuhusu Usalama wa Chakula, lazima tukumbuke kuwa ajenda ya usalama wa chakula haiwezi kamwe kutenganishwa na ajenda ya mazingira,”

Rais Kikwete aliongeza:“Kwa sababu ya madhara ya tabianchi, mienendo ya hali ya hewa imebadilika kabisa. Mvua hazitabiriki zaidi na hali ya ukame imekuwa mbaya zaidi na inayojitokeza zaidi. Hii imeathiri sana mazao, mifugo na usalama wa chakula kwa jumla. Mataifa yetu mengi na watu wake wanaotegemea kilimo sasa wamekuwa watu ambao maisha yao hayana uhakika na watu wa kutahayari zaidi.”

Rais Kikwete amekuwa miongoni mwa viongozi waliozungumza kwenye siku ya kwanza ya Mkutano huo wa siku tatu. Miongoni mwa viongozi wengine waliozungumza leo ni pamoja na Kiongozi wa Kanisa Katoliki Duniani, Baba Mtakatifu Benedict wa 16.
