WAZIRI MKUU MHE MIZENGO PINDA AZINDUA MAPITIO YA MFUMO WA UWEKEZAJI TANZANIA

WAZIRI MKUU Mizengo Pinda amesema Tanzania ni miongoni mwa nchi zitakazonufaika katika masuala ya uwekezaji nchini endapo itatekeleza kikamilifu Mapitio ya Mfumo wa Uwekezaji yaliyowasilishwa na Taasisi ya Ushirikiano wa Kiuchumi na Maendeleo (OECD).

Ametoa kauli hiyo leo mchana (Ijumaa, Januari 31, 2014), wakati akizungumza na waandishi wa habari mara baada ya kuzindua kitabu cha Mapitio ya Mfumo wa Uwekezaji kwenye ukumbi wa Kimataifa wa Mwalimu Nyerere jijini Dar es Salaam.

Akizungumza katika uzinduzi huo, Waziri Mkuu Pinda alisema kuwa malengo ya mapitio ya mfumo huo ni kuboresha hali ya uwekezaji na biashara nchini ambayo matokeo yake yatasaidia kuongeza wawekezaji katika maeneo mengi.

“Kuna maeneo ya uwekezaji yanayopata uwekezaji wa moja kwa moja kutoka nje ya nchi (Foreign Direct Investment -FDI) ambayo ni umeme, mafuta, gesi, madini, viwanda, ujenzi na huduma za jamii.

Amesema kuwa matokeo ya jitihada hizi ni makubwa na yameonekana ndani ya miaka miwili tu. Akitoa mfano, alisema: “Kilimo kimeweza kukua kutoka dola za marekani milioni 304.5 mwaka 2010 hadi dola za marekani milioni 355.4 katika mwaka 2011. Vilevile kwenye sekta ya Umeme na Gesi imekua kutoka dola za kimarekani milioni 328.6 hadi dola za kimarekani 539.8 mwaka 2011.”

Kutokana na matokeo hayo, Waziri Mkuu ameeleza kuwa Tanzania ina fursa nyingi zikiwemo rasilimali, nafasi yake kijiografia na historia ya siasa safi ambazo zinaifanya iwe kivutio kikubwa cha uwekezaji. Hali hiyo Waziri Mkuu alisema, imesaidia Pato la Taifa kuendelea kukua kwa asilimia sita kwa miaka 10 mfululizo na mwaka jana ilikua kwa asilimia saba na sasa inatarajiwa kufika asilimia 7.2 kwa mwaka huu.

Miongoni mwa maeneo yanayohusishwa na mfumo huu wa mapitio ya Uwekezaji ni yale yaliyoainishwa katika Matokeo makubwa sasa ambayo ni Kilimo, Maji, Uchukuzi, Elimu na Nishati.

“Ili kufanikisha maeneo hayo ni muhimu tukajenga mazingira bora ya uwekezaji, hivyo Serikali inawataka wadau wote kwa kushirikiana na Sekta binafsi kuchambua kwa makini mapendekezo ya mapitio ya mfumo huo ambayo yanatumika pia kuharakisha mafanikio ya Matokeo makubwa sasa”, alisisitiza Waziri Mkuu.

Waziri Mkuu alisema Serikali ya Tanzania inashukuru sana Taasisi ya Ushirikiano wa Kiuchumi na Maendeleo (OECD) kwa kuweka sura maalum kwenye kitabu hicho inayozungumzia changamoto za uwekezaji kwenye sekta ya kilimo na jinsi ya kukabiliana na changamoto hizo.

“Ninatumaini kuwa utekelezaji wa mapendekezo haya utaongeza ufanisi wa mchakato huu na kuhakikisha kuwa tunazitumia fursa zilizopo na nyingine zaidi katika kuboresha uwekezaji katika kilimo nchini. Na kwenye kilimo ninamaanisha kilimo mazao, mifugo, uvuvi na nyuki,” aliongeza.

Mapema, Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa Taasisi ya OECD, Bw. Rintaro Tamaki, alisema mazingira ya uwekezaji nchini yanabadilika kila mara kutokana na kuvumbuliwa kwa rasilimali mpya kama vile gesi, makaa ya mawe ambazo zinasababisha watu wavutive kuwekeza nchini.

”Kutokana na kugunduliwa na sekta hizo, Serikali isizipuuzie sekta za zamani hususan Sekta ya kilimo, cha msingi ni kuboresha sekta hii kwa kuanzisha viwanda ili kuongeza thamani ya mazao yenu”.

WAZIRI WA FEDHA AMJIBU pROFESA lIPUMBA KUHUSU ELIMU YAKE

MWENYEKITI wa Chama cha Wananchi (CUF), Profesa Ibrahim Lipumba, amelishushia tuhuma nzito Baraza la Mawaziri, baada ya kudai baadhi ya mawaziri walioteuliwa hawana elimu ya kutosha

Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari jijini Dar es Salaam jana, Profesa Lipumba alisema mmoja wa mawaziri hao ni Waziri wa Fedha, Saada Mkuya.

Alisema chama chake, kina wasiwasi na elimu ya Waziri Mkuya, kutokana na wasifu wake kutoonyesha vyuo alivyosoma wakati wa kupata shahada ya kwanza na ya pili katika masuala ya biashara.

Alisema katika tovuti ya Bunge, wasifu wa waziri huyo umeonyesha sehemu aliyosoma elimu ya sekondari na kuhitimu kidato cha sita.

Alisema katika tovuti hiyo, haionyeshi chuo alichosoma shahada ya kwanza ya biashara, ingawa inaonyesha masomo aliyochukua jambo ambalo linatia mashaka uhalali wake kuongoza wizara hiyo nyeti.

“Ukiingia kwenye tovuti ya Bunge, utaona wasifu wake kuanzia elimu ya msingi hadi kidato cha sita na shule alizosoma, lakini kuanzia elimu ya shahada imeonyesha masomo aliyochukua na kupata shahada ya kwanza ya biashara, haionyeshi vyuo, jambo ambalo linatia mashaka,” alisema Lipumba.

lisema nafasi aliyopewa inahitaji kiongozi mwenye upeo wa hali ya juu, kuweza kupambanua mambo yanayohusu uchumi wa nchi kwa kushirikiana na taasisi mbalimbali za kifedha za ndani na nje ya nchi.

“Napata wasiwasi kama Rais Jakaya Kikwete, aliangalia wasifu wa waziri wake kwa sababu asingeweza kumchagua kushika nafasi kubwa kama hii, wakati vyeti vyake vina mashaka,” aliongeza.

Alisema kitendo cha kumuweka mtu mwenye vyeti vya mashaka, kunaweza kusababisha nchi kuyumba kiuchumi, kuongezeka kwa deni la taifa, kwa sababu uamuzi wake unatokana na ufahamu wake.

WAZIRI AJIBU

Akizungumza na MTANZANIA Jumatatu kuhusu madai hayo, Waziri Mkuya alisema elimu yake wala haina mashaka, kwani alisoma kidato cha tano na sita katika Shule ya Sekondari Lumumba mjini Zanzibar.

Baada ya hapo, alijiunga na masomo ya diploma ya Biashara katika Chuo cha Stamford cha Malaysia, ambapo pia alichukua diploma nyingine ya biashara nchini Uingereza.

Alisema mbali na masomo hayo, pia amesoma shahada ya pili ya biashara katika Chuo Kikuu Huria cha Tanzania (OUT) na kuhitimu mwaka 2009.

“Nimehitimu Shahada ya Uzamili ya Utawala na Biashara (MBA) ya Chuo Kikuu cha WATT kilichopo Edinburgh, Scotland.

“Kwa sasa nachukua Shahada ya Uzamivu (PhD) ya Utawala wa Biashara Chuo Kikuu Huria cha Tanzania, tawi la Dar es Salaam,”

The chancellor was on a skiing trip in Engadin in Switzerland when she fell.
She thought she suffered only bruises but a medical examination when she returned to the German capital Berlin showed she had actually broken a bone.

 

Mishap: Chancellor Merkel, pictured while skiiing at the resort in the Engadine valley of Switzerland on December 22, broke her hip during a fall

Doctors told her she will have to rest for the next three weeks while the injury heals.
Government spokesman Steffen Seibert said said: 'She suffered serious bruising in connection with a partial fracture on her left posterior pelvic ring.

 'We understand she was going at slow speed on a cross-country ski course when the accident occurred.'

Although she can walk unaided she has been instructed she cannot travel by plane and must lie down as much as possible for the next three weeks.
She will have to cancel a planned visit to Poland and a meeting with the Luxembourg Prime Minister in Berlin.

TANZANIA YAIJIBU RWANDA

Ubalozi wa Tanzania nchini Rwanda umeeleza kusikitishwa na taarifa za blog ya Rwanda "News of Rwanda" ambayo inaunga mkono serikali ya nchi hiyo iliyotolewa mwishoni mwa juma zikimtuhumu rais wa Tanzania Jakaya Kikwete kwa kuunga mkono na kufanya mikutano na wanachama wa makundi ya waasi yanayopingana na serikali ya Rwanda.

 

Akizungumza na Sauti ya Amerika mkurugenzi wa mawasiliano ya Ikulu ya Tanzania Salva Rweyemamu amesema wao wameshangazwa kwa sababu mwaka jana kulikuwa na matatizo na marais wa nchi hizo wameshazungumza vizuri wakakubaliana na kuonyesha kwamba sasa mambo yameisha na kwamba wanaendeleza urafiki wao, udugu wao na ujirani mwema wa miaka mingi kati yao na kuongeza kwamba hilo ni jambo la kusikitisha sana kwa upande wa Tanzania .

 

Ametoa wito kwa vyombo vya habari nchini humo visaidie kujenga uhusiano mwema na visiwe mwanzo wa choko choko ya kugombanisha watu akiuliza kuwa "Tanzania wakigombana na Rwanda magazeti yatauzwa?" au mkiwa kwenye hali ya vurugu kama ilivyo nchi zingine ambapo watu wanapigana kila siku kuna watu wananunua magazeti pale?

JAJI MKUU AISHUKIA TUME YA KUREKEBISHA SHERIA NCHINI

Jaji Mkuu wa Tanzania, Mohamed Chande Othman akizungumza kwenye mkutano na waaandishi wa habari jijini Dar es Salaam jana. Kushoto ni Mtendaji Mkuu  wa Mahakama, Hussein Kattanga. Picha na Venance Nestory.

JAJI Mkuu Mohamed Othman Chande ameitaka Tume ya Kurekebisha Sheria Tanzania kuharakisha mchakato wake wa kuandaa ripoti inayohusu migogoro ya ardhi nchini ili kutoa nafasi ya kufanyiwa marekebisho Sheria ya Ardhi.

Jaji Chande ametoa kauli hiyo wakati ambao maeneo mbalimbali nchini yamekumbwa na migogoro mikubwa ya ardhi na kusababisha wananchi kupoteza mali,mifugo,makazi na wengine kuuawa.

Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari jana kuhusu sherehe ya Siku ya Sheria Nchini itakayofanyika Februari 3, mwaka huu, Jaji Chande amesema, “Ukiondoa idadi kubwa ya kesi za jinai, zinazofuata wa wingi ni kesi za migogoro ya ardhi, hasa za madai, mfano Mahakama Kuu ya Tanzania pekee kuna kesi za ardhi zaidi ya 6,000.”

Alisema asilimia 60 ya kesi hizo zinatoka kwenye mabaraza ya ardhi na nyumba ya wilaya.“Mfumo wa kutatua kesi za ardhi uko chini ya mamlaka tatu. Ngazi ya chini kabisa ni Baraza la Ardhi la Kijiji ambalo lipo chini ya Serikali za Mitaa na Halmashauri. Pili, ni Baraza la Kata,” alisema na kuongeza.

“Na tatu ni Baraza la Ardhi na Nyumba la wilaya ambalo mamlaka yake ni Wizara ya Ardhi, Nyumba na Maendeleo ya Makazi. Baada ya hapo ndiyo kinafuata Kitengo cha Ardhi cha Mahakama Kuu” alisema.

Alisema tatizo lililopo sasa ni kwamba ili uweze kutatua migogoro ya ardhi ni lazima uangalie kesi husika ipo katika ngazi gani na kusisitiza kuwa migogoro mingi ipo katika ngazi za chini ambazo zipo katika mamlaka nyingine.

“Hivi sasa mfumo wa migogoro ya ardhi na mashauri ya ardhi unaangaliwa upya na Tume ya Kurekebisha Sheria ambayo imetembelea mikoa yote nchini na kukutana na wadau wote ikiwamo, mahakama, Wizara ya Ardhi, wananchi na wanasheria hivyo ripoti hiyo ikitolewa itasaidia kuboresha sheria,” alisema.

Mahakama za mwanzo

Akizungumzia mahakama za mwanzo, Jaji Chande alisema, “Tanzania tuna mahakama za mwanzo 960 lakini zinazofanya kazi ni 803, kati ya hizo zinazofanya kazi mahakama 487 ndiyo zina mahakimu wa kudumu na nyingine 316 hutoa huduma kwa kutembelewa na mahakimu mara moja au mbili kwa wiki kutokana na mahakimu kutoishi maeneo hayo.”

Alisema kwa sasa kuna uhaba wa majengo zaidi ya 296 ya mahakama za mwanzo, kwamba kuna majengo 157 ya mahakama za mwanzo ambayo hayafanyi kazi kwa sababu ya uchakavu.

Alisema mahakama hizo zinakabiliwa na changamoto nyingi ikiwa ni pamoja na kuwapo katika majengo chakavu na nyingine zikiwa ndani ya majengo yanayomilikiwa na taasisi mbalimbali na Serikali, jambo ambalo alisema linazifanya mahakama hizo kuonekana kutokuwa huru

AIBA MTOTO WA KIKE DAR

Kamanda wa Polisi kanda maalumu ya kipolisi ya Dar Suleiman Kova akisisitiza jambo.

MKAZI wa Bunju B, Grace Chapanga(34), anashikiliwa na Polisi Kanda Maalum ya Dar es Salaam kwa tuhuma za wizi wa mtoto mchanga wa kike mwenye umri wa mwezi mmoja.


Kamanda wa Kanda hiyo, Kamishna wa Polisi Suleiman Kova alisema Chapanga alimuiba mtoto huyo, Veis Venus Desemba 27 mwaka jana katika maeneo ya Mwenge jijini Dar es Salaam.

Alisema mtuhumiwa huyo alitenda kosa hilo baada ya kumhadaa mama wa mtoto aitwae Salma Frank (29), mkazi wa Kawe Mji Mpya kwa kumuomba ambebee huku wote wakiwa abiria wa daladala, wakitokea Hospitali ya Mwananyamala.

Kova alisema walipofika kituo cha daladala Mwenge, mtuhumiwa aliteremka upesi na kutoweka na mtoto, wakati mwenye mtoto akikusanya vitu vingine alivyokuwa navyo.

“Chapanga alitenda kosa hilo kwa kushirikiana na Halima Alabi (46), mkazi wa Boko Maliasili ambaye naye alikamatwa Januari 4 mwaka huu,” alisema.

Alisema watuhumiwa wote baada ya kutenda kosa hilo, waliondoka kwenda Sumbawanga mkoani Rukwa, ambapo Chapanga alimdanganya mumewe kuwa yeye ni mjamzito na angependa kwenda kujifungulia nyumbani kwao Sumbawanga.

“Upelelezi wa tukio hilo ulifanikisha kumkamata mume wa Chapanga aitwaye Daniel Mwaikambo (38), mkazi wa Bunju B, ambaye pia ni mfanyakazi wa Uhamiaji Makao Makuu Dar es Salaam na kwenda naye Sumbawanga, ambapo walimkuta mtuhumiwa na kumkamata” alisema.

Inasemekana kwamba tangu Chapanga na Mwaikambo wafunge ndoa mwaka 2010 hadi sasa, wanandoa hao hawajabahatika kupata mtoto.

Aidha, Kova alisema mwaka 2012 Chapanga alifanyiwa upasuaji wa uvimbe tumboni na daktari alimwambia hatoweza kushika mimba tena, jambo ambalo mwanamke huyo hakumueleza ukweli mume wake wala ndugu yake yeyote hadi alipopanga njama na hatimaye kufanikiwa kumuiba mtoto huyo.

Alisema upelelezi wa shauri hilo unaendelea kwa kufuatilia uchunguzi wa vinasaba (DNA) vya mama mzazi, mtuhumiwa na mtoto aliyeibwa. Pia alisema mtoto huyo amekabidhiwa

Mtaka alisema kuwa  wamechukua uamuzi huo baada ya mabishano ya muda mrefu baina ya pande zote  mbili kutofikia muafaka.

Mkuu huyo wa wilaya katika mabishano hayo ya muda mrefu juu ya madai ya wakulima na wafanyakazi alisema wanakidai Kiwanda cha Mtibwa zaidi ya Sh1.9 bilioni ambazo ni za mauzo ya miwa na mishahara ya wafanyakazi.

Mtaka alisema shughuli nyingine kiwandani hapo zitaendelea kama huduma ya afya, ulinzi na idara ya fedha ili kuwezesha makundi hayo kupata mafao yao mwishoni mwa wiki hii kama ilivyoahidiwa na uongozi wa kiwanda hicho.

Meneja mkuu Hamad Juma alisema, kiwanda hicho kilikwama kulipa madeni hayo kutokana na uingizwaji mwingi wa sukari nchini kutoka nje ya nchi uliosababisha wao kukosa soko ingawa waliahidi kuanza kulipa mwezi huu. (TK)

In Summary

• Zimbabwe introduced the multi-currency system in 2009 in response to runaway inflation
• The adoption of multiple currencies helped Zimbabwe stem hyperinflation, which peaked at 500 billion percent in 2008

HARARE

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has announced the adoption of four more currencies in an attempt to address cash shortages in the economy.

The currencies of China, India, Japan and Australia are set to be legal tender and will be used alongside the US Dollar, South African Rand, Botswana Pula, British Pound and the Euro.

Zimbabwe introduced the multi-currency system in 2009 in response to runaway inflation.

“Trade and investment ties between Zimbabwe, China, India, Japan and Australia have grown appreciably,” said RBZ acting governor Charity Dhliwayo. “It is against this background of growth in trade and investment ties that in the 2014 national budget, the minister of finance and economic development underscored the importance of including other currencies in the basket of already circulating currencies.”

She said exporters and the general public could open accounts in the various currencies in the basket.

The adoption of multiple currencies helped Zimbabwe stem hyperinflation, which peaked at 500 billion percent in 2008.

President Robert Mugabe’s government was forced to dump the Zimbabwe dollar in 2009.

Zimbabwe has been trying to promote trade and investment with Asian countries after the veteran ruler’s inner circle was slapped with sanctions by western countries for alleged human rights violations.

Dr Dhliwayo also said the RBZ would assume its role of banker to government on March 31.

The bank would resume its lender of last resort function after government agreed to inherit its $1.35 billion debt and recapitalise it to the tune of $200 million.

SHILINGI ELFU KUMI ZAMTOA ROHO MFANYABIASHARA KENYA

“Mwanzoni tulichukulia kifo hicho kuwa ni cha kujinyonga lakini baada ya hizi taarifa mpya tutafanya uchunguzi wa kina.”

Aliwaomba wananchi wenye taarifa zozote waisaidie polisi.

WATANZANIA WANA UHABA MKUBWA SANA WA MAJI.

Sehemu za ndani ya mikoa ya Tanzania zikiwa kame.

Watanzania wanalaani hali ya hewa na kuongezeka kwa joto wakati usambazaji wa maji mijini ukidorora na huku mabishano yakizidi kuwa makali baina ya wakulima na wafugaji kuhusu matumizi ya vijito katika maeneo yao.

(MM)

Taarifa nyingi za kitaalam siku za nyuma zilionya kuhusu uongezekaji wa mahitaji ya maji na viwango vya maji yanayopatikana lakini tahadhari hizo ama zilipuuzwa au hazikutiliwa maanani ipasavyo.

Mara nyingi wanasiasa walibeza tahadhari hizo bila kufikiri pale walipowapotosha wananchi wao kuvamia mazingira yaliyohifadhiwa ili wakate miti, kuanzisha makazi au kulima mashamba karibu na vyanzo vya mito.

Miji ambayo imepanuka kwa haraka katika maeneo ambayo hapo awali yalikuwa na vijito vingi, kama vila Morogoro na Tanga katika ukanda wa mashariki, sasa inapata adha nyingi kuanzia mazingira machafu mpaka uhaba wa shughuli za kiuchumi kutokana na ukosefu wa maji.

Jiji kuu la biashara na viwanda, Dar es Salaam, pia limekumbwa na adha hizo. Mamia ya wakazi wa jiji hili hutumia saa nyingi kila siku wakitafuta maji. Matatizo yao huenda yasikomee hapo kadiri gharama za upatikanaji maji zinavyozidi kupanda siku hadi siku.

Mameneja wa rasilimali hii pia wanasumbuka kuziba mabomba yanayovuja huku wakipambana na wizi wa maji pale ambapo watu hujifungia mabomba isivyo halali, wakati viwango vya maji vikishuka kule yanakotoka kabla ya kuingizwa katika mifumo ya usambazaji.

"Uhai wetu, ustawi wetu, afya zetu na maendeleo yetu vyote hutegemea upatikanaji maji safi na salama pale tunapoishi. Wakati umefika tuone kila anayeharibu chanzo cha maji ni adui," amesema Profesa Jumanne Maghembe, Waziri wa Maji wakati wa kuzindua mradi wa maji katika manispaa ya Moshi.

RWANDA YAZIDI KUMCHOKOZA JK

BUSARA ya Rais Jakaya Kikwete juu ya kuitaka Serikali ya Rwanda kukaa kwenye meza ya mazungumzo na waasi wa FDLR, imeendelea kutafsiriwa vibaya na baadhi ya wakubwa wa nchi hiyo, ambapo sasa wameanza kumchokonoa kwenye baadhi ya vyombo vya habari, kwa kudai kuwa amekutana kwa siri jijini Dar es Salaam na waasi hao. (HM)

ZABUNI ZA VITALU KUFUNGWA MEI-WAZIRI

Serikali imesema zabuni ya vitalu vya utafiti wa mafuta na gesi asilia vilivyo bahari kuu na ziwa Tanganyika Kaskazini, itafungwa Mei 15, mwaka huu.

Waziri wa Nishati na Madini,Profesa Sospeter Muhongo alisema hayo alipofanya mazungumzo na Waziri Mstaafu wa Nishati na Viwanda kutoka Ufaransa, Erick Besson aliyemtembelea ili kufahamu fursa za uwekezaji zilizo katika Sekta za Nishati na Madini akiiwakilisha Kampuni ya GDF Suez ya Ufaransa.

"Kampuni unayoiwakilisha ni kubwa, yenye teknolojia ya kisasa na inafanya uwekezaji mkubwa duniani,"alisema Profesa Muhongo.

Waziri Muhongo alimweleza Besson kwamba Shirika la Maendeleo ya Petroli nchini (TPDC), linamiliki vitalu viwili vya gesi karibu na mpaka wa Msumbiji lakini linahitaji mbia mwenye nia ya dhati watakayeshirikiana naye katika hatua zote za uendelezaji wa vitalu, kwa sababu TPDC bado inakua, alitoa changamoto kwa kampuni hiyo ya GDF Suez kuingia katika ushindani huo.

Katika suala la usimamizi wa bomba la gesi asilia, Profesa Muhongo alimweleza Besson kuwa TPDC pia itahitaji kupata uzoefu na pengine mbia aliyebobea katika usimamizi wa bomba hilo atakayeshirikiana na TPDC katika usimamizi wa bomba la gesi nchini.

Profesa Muhongo alisema Serikali itasambaza gesi katika makazi ya watu ili kupunguza uharibifu wa mazingira huku akitoa mfano kuwa Dar es Salaam pekee inatumia si chini ya magunia 50 ya mkaa kwa siku hivyo gesi itapunguza uharibifu wa mazingira.

Naye Waziri huyo mstaafu kutoka Ufaransa,Besson alimshukuru Profesa Muhongo kwa taarifa nzuri kuhusu fursa za uwekezaji nchini na ameahidi kupata taarifa zaidi za uwekezaji katika mashirika ya TPDC,Stamico na Tanesco ili kuona jinsi kampuni yake itakavyoshirikiana na mashirika hayo katika kuendeleza sekta za Nishati na Madini.

Ugunduzi wa mafuta na gesi umeleta habari njema kwa taifa na wawekezaji. Chanzo: mwananchi

HELKOPTA YA CHADEMA YAPOTEA ANGANI

HELIKOPTA ya Chadema maarufu kama Chopa, juzi ilipotea angani na kusababisha viongozi wa chama hicho kushindwa kufanya mkutano katika Kijiji cha Mpwayungu wilayani Chamwino, kama ilivyokuwa imepangwa kwenye ratiba.

Kwa mujibu wa ratiba iliyokuwa imepangwa, viongozi wa kitaifa ambao ni Mwanasheria Mkuu wa chama hicho, Tundu Lissu na Mwenyekiti wa Umoja wa Vijana (BAVICHA), walikuwa wafanye mkutano katika kijiji hicho saa 4 asubuhi.

Akizungumza na MTANZANIA, Mwenyekiti wa Chadema Mkoa wa Dodoma, Steven Massawe alikiri kupotea kwa helikopta hiyo na kukanusha kwamba hakuna njama zozote zilizofanywa na CCM kutokana na kupotea kwa helikopta hiyo.

Kijiji cha Mpwayungu kipo katika Kata ya Mpwayungu, ambayo nafasi ya udiwani ipo wazi na vyama vya Chadema na CCM vyote vimesimamisha wagombea.

“Sababu kubwa ya kupotea kwa helikopta ni tatizo la mawasiliano kama mnavyojua Kijiji cha Mpwayungu hakina mawasiliano. Helikopta ilikuwa ifike katika Kijiji cha Mpwayungu saa nne asubuhi, lakini Kapteni alipotea na kusababisha kukaa angani kwa saa moja na dakika arobaini na akatua Kijiji cha Chipogolo.

“Alipofika Chipogolo akaambiwa sio kijiji hicho chenye mkutano na akatakiwa kurudi nyuma kwa upande wa magharibi kwa kilometa 40, hata hivyo hakufanikiwa ikabidi arudi mjini kujaza mafuta,” alisema Massawe.

Alisema baada ya kujaza mafuta, viongozi hao hawakwenda tena kufanya mkutano Mpwayungu badala yake wakaenda Mpwapwa ambapo kulikuwa na mkutano mwingine saa 7 mchana kwa mujibu wa ratiba.

“Leo (jana) hii viongozi hao kwa kutumia helikopta wamekwenda tena Mpwayungu na kufanikiwa kufanya mkutano majira ya saa nne asubuni na baada ya hapo waliekea Kijiji cha Segala Wilaya ya Chamwino, baadaye wataenda Kiteto na Moshi,” alisema.

Alisema sio kweli kwamba CCM walifanya njama helikopta ya Chadema ipotee ili isifanye mkutano katika kijiji hicho na kwamba Chadema na CCM vyote vilishafanya uzinduzi wa kapteni katika kata hiyo.

“Chadema ilifanya uzinduzi wake wa kampeni katika Kata ya Mwayungu, Januari 26 mwaka huu na CCM walifanya uzinduzi wao Januari 20,” alisema Massawe.

Naye Katibu Mkuu wa Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema), Dk. Willibrod Slaa, amesema iwapo Serikali ya CCM haitaweka mazingira ya haki kwa makundi mbalimbali ndani ya jamii kwa ajili ya amani ya kudumu, migogoro ya ardhi italitumbukiza taifa katika sintofahamu na hatari kubwa nchini.

Dk. Slaa aliyasema hayo kwenye mikutano ya M4C Pamoja Daima, jana alipokuwa akiwahutubia wananchi wa maeneo ya Iselamagazi, Kishapu, Mhunze, Itilima, Lugulu na Bariadi.

Alisema ni haki kwa wananchi kuwa na matumaini, kwani ndiyo misingi wa amani ya kweli ambayo haihitaji kuhubiriwa jukwaani
