Magufuli’s tight monetary policies in EAC

WHEN President John Pombe Magufuli took over the chairmanship of EAC Heads of State Summit during the 17th EAC ordinary summit held early March, 2016 at Ngurdoto, Arusha, no one expected that he would give shocking plea to EAC secretariat- stop your lavish spending and spare the community funds to serve the poor!

His first summit after being elected in power, President Magufuli never showed any newness to the occasion and instead showed his true color by hammering what was unexpected to any of his fellow Heads of State and government.

In his acceptance speech, he never wasted time to pin point that he was of the opinion that the regional body was unwisely spending community funds something which does not reflect the actual state of the economies of the member states.

President Magufuli urged the Secretariat to take cost- cutting measures to rid the regional body from wasting its hard fought resources from their poor citizens and strongly warned members of the secretariat not to mess around with community money!

He pledged to take same measures implementing in his country to reduce government spending including curbing lavish spending on travels and meetings and went further to question as to why the secretariat favors convening meets in expensive resorts instead of using conference halls at the regional body’s headquarters.

The President challenged the Secretariat to become problem solver instead of being always ‘moaners’ and restrict them from being parasitic at the detriment of the poor citizens of member states.

He was of the opinion that the regional body is capable of effectively and efficiently running its business with the merger resources coming from members’ contributions if cost cutting measures were put in place and if Secretariat is to make rational financial decisions.

There were those who were not convinced if that would be possible and some even thought that the President was off target and ill informed. But today, one year down the road, President Magufuli has proved his doubters wrong.

During the 18th Ordinary Summit held in Dar es Salaam recently, where President Magufuli handed over the chairmanship to his Uganda counterpart, President Yoweri Museveni, it was reported that for the first time the regional bloc has managed to save about US $ 2.5 million from its budget due to cost cutting measures imposed during his chairmanship.

President Magufuli has identified himself with group of modern type of leaders who are earnest and shrewd with direct approach to issues. To many Tanzanians and to some of our neighbors, it was not a surprise!

He was well known since he was a minister that he was a person who was fond of fine details of all matters under his jurisdiction. He was never afraid of telling the truth or rather calling a spade a spade.

The good thing of him is his strong willpower and firmness to achieve what he believed to be achievable. He is a result oriented leader who is always geared to get the best out everything he believes and cherishes.

He likes challenges and that is what he distinguishes himself from others. He clearly knew that the promise to employ cost cutting measures at EAC secretariat was not an easy task but he was convinced that he has firm support of his fellow Heads of State and government of the member states.

As a leader he made his homework and see how viable was his appeal to introduce cost cutting at the Secretariat and he realized that, it can be done if and only if everyone plays his part.

He warned to use his leadership motto ‘Hapa Kazi tu’ in exercising his duties as Chairperson of EAC and also warned to use his style of ‘kutumbua majipu’ (translated literarily as sacking those who are incompetent/inefficient) to those who would not heed to his plea but fortunately things went well probably because Secretariat knew that Magufuli is a man of few words but means what he says.

Whilst, we congratulate President Magufuli for showing the way, appreciation should also go to members of the secretariat under chairmanship of the Secretary General Amb. Libérat Mfumukeko for not letting down President Magufuli and his fellow Heads of State.

And as the saying goes ‘When there is will there is a way’. He promised and he has delivered it. This is why they say ‘Magufuli always means business.’ Congratulations for your efforts to make new and prosperous Tanzania, Your Excellency, Dr. John Pombe Magufuli

President Magufuli delivered an emotional speech today, as he received the mineral sand saga report that was delivered by the chairman of the probing committee, Prof Abdulkarim Mruma. The report indicates that there is loss being made from the mineral sands being exported.

Concerning the Minister for Energy and Minerals Prof Sospeter Muhongo, the President said, “I love Prof Muhongo. He is my friend. But he will have to step down because of this.” This is not the first time that the minister has had to step down.

Prof Muhongo was among three MPs that president of the fourth phase government, Jakaya Kikwete, appointed in May 2012. Others were Ms Janet Mbene and Mr James Mbatia. He was thereafter appointed as Minister for Energy and Minerals. However, Prof Muhongo resigned on January 24, 2015 after being implicated in the Tegeta Escrow scandal. A year after President Magufuli came into power, he reinstated Prof Muhongo. Two years after Prof Muhongo resigned over Escrow, he now might have to resign over another scandal yet again.

Dar es Salaam. The medical centre in the US that will be treating three children who survived the Karatu car crash on May 6, has promised to give quality care.

Speaking in an interview on KTIV News, a local channel in Sioux City, Iowa, where the children are being taken, Vice President Communication and Community Development for Mercy Medical Center Mr Dave Smetter said that a team of surgeons will begin work based on the children’s needs.

The children will be treated by a team of surgeons who will handle them based on their injuries and fractures they
sustained. “In Tanzania injuries of that type will often result in amputees,” he said, which is what the medical centre is trying to avoid.

Mr Smetter noted that after treatment the children will be given time to rest and heal their wounds and if possible start rehab as well. The children survived an accident that killed 32 pupils, two teachers and a driver in Karatu. Their treatment in the US has been made possible by Samaritan’s Purse, a religious organisation based in the US.

In the interview, Mr Smetter said that the children will receive the treatment for
free. He further said that a group of people have made this happen, after
having donated at least $13,000 (about Sh29 million). The Samaritan’s Purse private jet left Kilimanjaro International Airport yesterday, and will be taking the children to and from Sioux City for free.
Mr Smetter said the children are expected to be at the hospital for
two weeks or more before they can be ready to go home. Tanzania and the rest of the world was gripped in shock, after news of
the accident that claimed the lives of 32 children who were going to another
school for examinations.

TCRA yafafanua jinsi ya kuhama mtandao bila kubadili namba.

MAMLAKA ya Mawasiliano Tanzania (TCRA), imezindua mpango maalum unaomuwezesha mteja kuhama mtandao mmoja wa simu kwenda mwingine bila kubadili namba ya simu, na kueleza hatua 13 za kufuata ili kupata huduma hiyo.

Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa TCRA, Mhandisi James Kilaba, akizungumza na wahariri na waandishi wa vyombo mbalimbali vya habari jana jijini Dar es Salaam, alisema huduma hiyo ni ya hiari na ili mtu aweze kuhama mtandao mmoja kwenda mwingine ni lazima afuate hatua 13.

Mhandisi wa Mawasiliano wa TCRA, Mwesigwa Felician, alitaja hatua ya kwanza ya kuhama mtandao mmoja wa simu kwenda mwingine kuwa ni kufika kituo cha mauzo au kwa wakala anayetambuliwa na mtoa huduma anakotaka kuhamia na kumueleza dhumuni lake.

Hatua ya pili, alisema Felician, ni kujaza fomu maalum ya maombi ya kuhamia mtandao aliotaka kuhamia.

Felician alitaja hatua ya tatu kuwa ni kujaza tamko la kukubali kuwa mteja anakubali kuwajibika kwa madeni yoyote ambayo yanatokana na huduma alizokuwa akipata kwa mtoa huduma wa awali kama yatakuwapo.

Felician alitaja hatua ya nne ni kuwa ni kuwasilisha kitambulisho chenye picha ambacho kinaweza kuwa cha taifa, kadi ya mpiga kura, leseni ya udereva, pasipoti au kitambulisho chochote rasmi kinachotambulika.

Alisema pia mteja anatakiwa kuwa na simu ya kiganjani inayofanya kazi yenye namba inayotakiwa kubaki baada ya kuhama mtandao.

Hatua ya tano, Felician alisema ni kuhamisha fedha zilizopo kwenye akaunti ya simu kabla ya kuhama ili kuepuka usumbufu.

Katika hatua ya sita, Felician alisema, mwenye namba ya simu atatakiwa kutuma ujumbe mfupi wa maneno wenye neno HAMA kwenda namba 15080 ambayo ni namba maalum ya kuhama.

Alisema katika hatua ya saba, mteja atapokea ujumbe mfupi wa maneno utakaomjulisha kuwa ombi lake limekubaliwa.

“Hatua ya nane, iwapo namba yako haikuzuiliwa au kusimamishwa kwa muda kutokana na kutokamilisha malipo ya madeni ya mtoa huduma wako wa awali, maombi yako yatashughulikiwa na utajulishwa kwa ujumbe mfupi wa maneno maendeleo ya mchakato huo,” alisema Felician.

KAMA KAWAIDA

Alisema katika hatua ya tisa, mtoa huduma za simu za kiganjani atampatia mteja wake mpya laini mpya ya simu.

Hatua ya 10, Felician alisema, ni kusitishwa kwa huduma za kifedha kwa muda mpaka namba ya mteja itakapohamishwa kwa mtoa huduma mpya. Kuanzia hapo mwenye namba atatumia huduma za kifedha za mtandao mpya kama huduma zipo.

Mhandisi wa Mawasiliano wa TCRA Felician alisema katika hatua ya 11, huduma za kupiga na kupokea simu na ujumbe mfupi wa maneno zitaendelea kama kawaida.

Alisema katika hatua ya 12, mteja atakuwa amehama mtandao mmoja kwenda mwingine na kama patakuwa na ucheleweshaji, ni wa saa kadhaa, lakini ndani ya siku mbili pekee.

“Wakati huo namba yako ya zamani itakuwa imehamishwa kwa mtoa huduma wako mpya na laini yako ya awali haitatumika tena na utapokea ujumbe mfupi wa maneno kuwa uhamaji umekamilika,” alisisitiza Felician.

Katika hatua ya 13, mteja atatakiwa kuweka laini yake aliyopewa kwenye simu na endapo elimu zaidi itahitajika, mteja atatakiwa kwenda kwa mtoa huduma kujua namna ya kutumia huduma hiyo mpya.

MASHARTI NA VIGEZO

Mbali na kuelezea hatua hizo za kujiunga, Felician alisema masharti na vigezo vitavingatiwa ambavyo alivitaja kuwa ni mteja kutoweza kuhama na namba iliyofungiwa au kusitishiwa huduma kwa walipaji wa kabla ya huduma.

Alisema pia mteja hataweza kuhama na salio lililopo na atatakiwa kutumia salio lake kwanza kabla ya kuhama kwani vinginevyo, litapotea.

Pia alisema mteja hataweza kuhama iwapo ana mkopo kutoka kwa mtoa huduma wa awali, mikopo mingine kwa njia ya muda wa maongezi na pesa mtandao.

Felician alisema pia mteja hataweza kuhama iwapo namba yake inahusishwa na uhalifu na imefungiwa.

Kwa wateja wanaotumia utaratibu wa malipo baada ya kutumia huduma, watatakiwa kulipa madeni ya matumizi yao kabla ya kuhama, alisema.

Wateja hao, watatakiwa pia kukamilisha masharti ya mkataba ya mtoa huduma wake na kutizama masharti ya malipo kila mwezi kwa mujibu wa mkataba kabla ya kuhama, alisema zaidi Felician.

Alisema pia wataendelea kupokea ankara za matumizi hadi namba itakapohamishiwa kwa mtoa huduma mpya.

“Utaendelea kupokea ankara ya mwisho hadi siku 60 baada ya kuhamisha namba yako," alisema Felician.

"Utapewa mpaka siku 30 za kulipa ankara hizo, vinginevyo utakuwa katika hatari ya uhamaji wako kusitishwa au namba yako kufungiwa.”

Awali akizundua huduma hiyo, Mhandisi Kilaba alisema ili kufahamu mtumiaji wa simu unayempigia amehama mtandao “utasikia milio miwili kabla ya simu kuita."

"Hii milio ndiyo ambayo watu waliokuwa wanasema TCRA tumeanza kusikiliza mazungumzo ya watu, naomba muwaeleweshe Watanzania.”

Alisema kwa sasa kuna laini za simu milioni 40.1 nchini na kwamba lengo la kuleta huduma hiyo ni kuboresha na kupanua huduma za mawasiliano nchini.

Kamanda wa Polisi Kanda Maalum ya Dar es salaam Simon Sirro ataja sababu za wahalifu kuachiwa

Kukosekana kwa ushahidi pamoja na gharama kubwa za kuwatunza wahalifu wanapokuwa mikononi mwa polisi, vimetajwa kuwa ndizo sababu kubwa zinazofanya wahalifu wengi kuachiwa mara baada ya kukamatwa na kufikishwa vituoni.

Hayo yamewekwa hadharani na Kamanda wa Polisi Kanda Maalum ya Dar es salaa Kamishna Simon Sirro alipokuwa kwenye kipindi cha East Africa Breakfast cha EA Radio, na kuwataka wananchi kuwa na utamaduni wa kutoa ushahidi wa kesi wanazofungua ili watu wahalifu hao wafungwe kwa mujibu wa sheria badala ya kulaumu jeshi la polisi.

Amesema kitendo cha wananchi kukwepa kujitokeza kutoa ushahidi wa kuwatia watu hatiani kunaiongezea gharama kubwa jeshi hilo kwa ajili ya kuwatunza, kuwahifadhi na kuwahudumia kwa chakula.

“Unapoendelea kumuweka mahabusu naye ni binadamu anatakiwa kula, kuoga kusafishiwa maliwato na chumba cha kulala gharama zote ni za serikali ndiyo sababu kubwa tunatoa dhamana ili kuepuka gharama”. Amefafanua Kamishna Sirro.

Amesema Watanzania wengi wamekuwa na tabia ya kulaumu jeshi la polisi pale wanapomuona mtuhumiwa aliyekamatwa na vidhibiti akiwa ameachiwa huru pasipo kujua kuwa kesi yoyote lazima itolewe ushahidi ndipo mtuhumiwa aweze kufungwa kwa mujibu wa sheria.

“Watanzania wote utamaduni wa kufika mahakamani hawana, wao wanachojua ni mtu anakamatwa tu na kufikishwa kituoni, wakati inatakiwa uhakikishe mtuhumiwa kafunguliwa mashtaka na mahakamani kapelekwa pia ushahidi katolewa, ukifuatilia hayo hutolalamika eti askari wamepatiwa rushwa". Amesema Sirro
