      Default Mishahara ya viongozi wa Tanzania

      Jamani kuna mtu anayejua mshahara wa raisi wa Tanzania ni kiasi gani? Kuna mtu kaniambia ni $200,000 na kitu kwa mwaka...sikuamini lakini akanihakikishia kuwa taarifa zake ni za uhakika. Bado ninasita kuamini ingawaje sina taarifa zozote na sijawahi kuona mahala popote pale kuhusu mshahara wa raisi.

      Na mshahara wa makamu wa raisi..?
      Waziri mkuu..?
      Spika wa bunge..?
      Mkuu wa majeshi ya ulinzi, polisi,magereza..?
      Jaji mkuu..?

      Kama kuna mtu anayejua...ni wapi tunaweza kupata taarifa hizi?

      Watu wameigeuza kazi ya wito ya ubunge kuwa mradi wa kutengeneza pesa. Mishahara ni mikubwa mno, ingefaa iwe chini ya mishahara ya senior civil servants.

      Mtu aende kwenye ubunge kwasababu kuna mambo ambayo anayaamini, sio kwasasa ambapo wengi wanaenda kwa mategemeo ya uwaziri na mishahara minono.

      Nakubaliana na Dr. Slaa kwa asilimia 100. Hizo posho ndio zinawafanya wayahame majimbo yao huku wakihangaika na semina moja baada ya nyingine.

      Sitta: Why MPs?

      2009-05-03 17:54:38
      By Rodgers Luhwago, Dodoma

      Speaker of the National Assembly Samuel Sitta has sturdily defended the proposal by legislators to increase their monthly package to 12m/- ($9,078), adding that the move has been wrongly judged by critics.

      Tanzanian MPs, who currently make 7m/- ($5,292) per month - only 1.8m/- of which is their taxable basic salary - want to increase their base salary to 3m/- and additional allowances to 9m/-.

      The proposed 12m/- ($9,078) package would put parliamentarians in the range of Kenya`s MPs, who earn a minimum of Ksh851,000 ($11,335) every month, of which only the basic salary of Ksh200,000 ($2,664) is taxed. Some of the allowances making up additional Ksh651,000 ($8,560) include funds for gym memberships and unspecified ‘entertainment` costs.

      Ugandan lawmakers pocket the least of MPs in the region, bringing home Ush2.6m ($1,214) in basic monthly salary and Ush7m ($3,271) including night, subsistence and fuel allowances, according to The Monitor newspaper.

      This income is still far above average salaries in most other sectors, the newspaper says.

      To put things in perspective, with the proposed salary Tanzanian MPs would make $108,936 per year, while Kenyan MPs currently make $136,020 per year.

      Members of Congress in the United States make $174,000 a year, which is all taxable income unlike the Tanzanian and Kenyan salaries.

      Tanzania`s GDP is $16.18bn and Kenya’s is $29.3bn, while the United States GDP is around $14 trillion, close to 1,000 times the size of Tanzania`s economy.

      Should the proposed increase in pay go through for Parliamentarians, Tanzanian MPs will be earning close to $30,000 more than their South African equivalents, who now earn R714,618 ($79,822) a year after giving themselves an 11 percent annual salary increase effective last April.

      But reacting to the ongoing debate about the newly proposed package, the Speaker furiously described the reports as total exaggeration aimed at pursuing a malicious agenda against the legislature.

      In an exclusive interview with The Guardian on Sunday over the weekend in his Dodoma office, Speaker Sitta said he was surprised at how closely some individuals and members of the press were following legislators` salaries while turning a blind eye to the wages of the other working cadres in the government.

      ``Is it fair to include a sitting allowance, per diem and other charges into an MP`s monthly pay? Is it also justifiable to include the salary of an assistant to an MP`s monthly pay? By the way, why are MPs the only ones targeted when it comes to emoluments?`` Sitta queried.

      He said permanent secretaries, regional and district commissioners, ministers and judges are among the senior working cadres in society but you rarely hear people talking about their earnings.

      ``Let`s just take a simple example: the fuel charge for the district commission is separately paid, and this applies to the charges for water, electricity and the salary of his aides.

      Why don’t you include all this in the DC’s salary? Instead we find it simple to do this to an MP?`` he said.

      According to the Speaker, the implementation of the Five-Year Corporate Plan 2009-13 that the Parliament launched mid this week, includes employing research assistants for MPs whose salaries would be paid by the government. ``Is it logical and fair to take the salaries of these research assistants from the legislators’ monthly salaries?`` he asked.

      ``In the public service sector there is what is described as personal emoluments, which is a salary of the public servant and other charges.

      However, due to the absence of MPs` offices in their constituencies, the salaries for their assistants are being included in the legislators` salaries but this does not mean that the whole money belongs to the MP,`` he said.

      The Speaker said the allowances paid to the MPs are just the same as the allowances paid to all other public servants of such a rank, adding that all senior officers are paid per diems and sitting allowances.

      He said, according to the public service system, per diems and sitting allowances are never taken as an official income of the person.

      ``In fact the per diem paid to the MPs is sometimes not sufficient when he travels to places like Arusha. We are sometimes forced to pay for hotel accommodation in Arusha.

      Now, why make other charges as part of an individual`s income? Very unfortunately this is done to MPs only. No one is saying that permanent secretaries are highly paid,`` Sitta said.

      If the same calculations were made for the permanent secretaries, he said, they would be found to be earning between 14m/- and 15m/- per month.

      He said people have diverted public attention from deliberating on embezzlement of public funds and corruption to questioning legal expenditures by combining personal income and other charges paid to MPs, describing them as the legislators` monthly salaries.

      ``Things paid for in the office of the legislator are stationeries, water, power and telecommunication and all this costs 735,000/- per month.

      The same items may cost higher in the office of the DC but we don’t include such costs in the DC`s salary,` he said. He said the salary of an MP is 1.8m/-.

      The Speaker was reacting to reports that Parliament last year passed the National Assembly Act, 2008 which, among other things, improves legislators` salaries and other charges.

      The new Act is expected to be operational after the 2010 general election.

      Speaking last Wednesday during the launching of the Five-Year Corperate Plan 2009-2013 Sitta said the Plan aimed at making Parliament an effective institution that is more people-centred.

      According to the Speaker, the strategic objectives of the plan include enhancing MPs` overall effectiveness for better service to the general public and enhancing individual effectiveness of MPs by providing them with properly equipped offices at constituencies and Parliament premises.

      The plan, which is expected to cost 373.9bn/- during implementation, will involve giving Members of Parliament staff assistants and upgraded data services and constantly reviewing their emoluments and welfare packages to keep MPs and staff appropriately motivated.

      Commenting on the for MPs’ per diem and allowances to be taxed, Speaker Sitta said that is subject to the change of the Income Tax Act, 2004.

      However, he said if allowances are to be taxed then that has to be applied to all workers in the country and not MPs alone.

      ``To be frank I don`t agree with people who want allowances to be taxed. You can’t give a person a subsistence allowance and again tax it. It is absolutely meaningless,`` he said.

      Default Re: Mbunge hulipwa 7 million kwa mwezi Tanzania

      Hawa jamaa huwa hawatembelei majimbo yao hizo pesa zote zinaenda wapi?

      Kama wanatakiwa kutembelea wastani wa siku 10 kwa mwezi, nina uhakika wabunge ninaowajua mimi hawafikishi hata wastani wa siku tano kwa mwezi kukaa kule majimboni kwao mbali hata na hilo la kutembelea.

      Hizo pesa nyingi wanaishia kuhonga wapambe tu.

      Ukianza kulipa pesa nyingi hivyo ni obvious utapata mamluki wengi kwenye siasa, watu walioshindwa kupata pesa kwenye professions zao, wanaona kwa kuponea ni kwenye ubunge. Mizee iliyoshindwa kazi kwenye idara na mashirika ya umma, inaenda kupumzikia kwenye ubunge.

      Madereva, wasaidizi walipwe moja kwa moja na ofisi ya bunge maana kwasasa hizo pesa huwa hawazipati.

      Mbunge wa Dodoma naye analipwa 100,000 kama diem allowance wakati anakaa kwake. Hivyo hivyo wabunge wa Dar wakati wa vikao vinavyofanyika Dar. Huo wote ni wizi mtupu.

      Wabunge wawe na mishahara chini ya makatibu wakuu wa wizara, sana sana inaweza kufanana na wakuu wa wilaya lakini sio kama sasa ambapo katika watumishi wa umma, wabunge wanaongoza kwa mishahara minono.

      Default Sitta says MP's deserve a pay rise

      Parliament workers deserve a pay rise, says Sitta
      By Beatus Kagashe

      The Speaker of the National Assembly, Samuel Sitta, has started to push for higher pay for parliamentary workers.

      Speaking in Dar es Salaam yesterday, Mr Sitta said the workers deserve to be paid handsomely to reflect 'good work' that they were doing for the nation.

      Opening the meeting of all parliamentary workers, Mr Sitta said the parliament was among institutions with better services in the country but it's workers were not well paid.

      The suggestion is likely to provoke another debate amidst the other already on the floor involving high income that members of parliament are demanding.

      Mr Sitta is in already in record supporting the MPs� demands, saying the lawmakers deserve high salaries.

      He said they deserve to be paid well as a motivation so that they could keep on with the good work and make the Tanzania's parliament a leading institution in east and sub-Saharan Africa.

      "To be honest the salaries and allowances which you're paid do not reflect the good work that you are doing for the country. There is a need to review your pecks," said Mr Sitta.

      He also called on heads and directors of departments in the civil service, to avoid segregation and favouritism, so as to motivate the hard working cadre.

      "Workers are providing services so don't try to form groups in favour of one group over the other," he cautioned.

      He urged the workers to stop worrying and emulate his example by feeling free to express their concerns, which in the long run would promote efficiency their offices.

      He said the five-year plan charted by the Parliament would also benefit them as it seeks, among other things, to enable all parliamentary workers to improve their professional performance in order to raise productivity.

      The parliament secretary Dr Thomas Kashirila said the aim of the meeting was to bring together all workers and update them on the new laws governing the parliament that were passed last year.

      Nikiangalia bunge naona majority wana chapaga usingizi tu sasa sijui ndiyo kufanya kazi huko. Na mara zote bunge husikii ikiwa na attendance ya 100%. Wengine wana kaa miaka mitano bungeni husikii wakitoa hoja yoyote. Wale wanaoongea wachache kati yao tu ndiyo wana ongea vya maana. Yani nimemuona huyu mzee sasa hafai. Wana jiona wao wana stahili zaidi ya wengine.

      To put things in perspective, with the proposed salary Tanzanian MPs would make $108,936 per year, while Kenyan MPs currently make $136,020 per year.

      Members of Congress in the United States make $174,000 a year, which is all taxable income unlike the Tanzanian and Kenyan salaries.

      Tanzania`s GDP is $16.18bn and Kenya’s is $29.3bn, while the United States GDP is around $14 trillion, close to 1,000 times the size of Tanzania`s economy.

      Should the proposed increase in pay go through for Parliamentarians, Tanzanian MPs will be earning close to $30,000 more than their South African equivalents, who now earn R714,618 ($79,822) a year after giving themselves an 11 percent annual salary increase effective last April.

      But reacting to the ongoing debate about the newly proposed package, the Speaker furiously described the reports as total exaggeration aimed at pursuing a malicious agenda against the legislature.

      In an exclusive interview with The Guardian on Sunday over the weekend in his Dodoma office, Speaker Sitta said he was surprised at how closely some individuals and members of the press were following legislators` salaries while turning a blind eye to the wages of the other working cadres in the government.

      ``Is it fair to include a sitting allowance, per diem and other charges into an MP`s monthly pay? Is it also justifiable to include the salary of an assistant to an MP`s monthly pay? By the way, why are MPs the only ones targeted when it comes to emoluments?`` Sitta queried.

      He said permanent secretaries, regional and district commissioners, ministers and judges are among the senior working cadres in society but you rarely hear people talking about their earnings.

      ``Let`s just take a simple example: the fuel charge for the district commission is separately paid, and this applies to the charges for water, electricity and the salary of his aides.

      Why don’t you include all this in the DC’s salary? Instead we find it simple to do this to an MP?`` he said.

      According to the Speaker, the implementation of the Five-Year Corporate Plan 2009-13 that the Parliament launched mid this week, includes employing research assistants for MPs whose salaries would be paid by the government. ``Is it logical and fair to take the salaries of these research assistants from the legislators’ monthly salaries?`` he asked.

      ``In the public service sector there is what is described as personal emoluments, which is a salary of the public servant and other charges.

      However, due to the absence of MPs` offices in their constituencies, the salaries for their assistants are being included in the legislators` salaries but this does not mean that the whole money belongs to the MP,`` he said.

      The Speaker said the allowances paid to the MPs are just the same as the allowances paid to all other public servants of such a rank, adding that all senior officers are paid per diems and sitting allowances.

      He said, according to the public service system, per diems and sitting allowances are never taken as an official income of the person.

      ``In fact the per diem paid to the MPs is sometimes not sufficient when he travels to places like Arusha. We are sometimes forced to pay for hotel accommodation in Arusha.

      Now, why make other charges as part of an individual`s income? Very unfortunately this is done to MPs only. No one is saying that permanent secretaries are highly paid,`` Sitta said.

      If the same calculations were made for the permanent secretaries, he said, they would be found to be earning between 14m/- and 15m/- per month.

      He said people have diverted public attention from deliberating on embezzlement of public funds and corruption to questioning legal expenditures by combining personal income and other charges paid to MPs, describing them as the legislators` monthly salaries.

      ``Things paid for in the office of the legislator are stationeries, water, power and telecommunication and all this costs 735,000/- per month.

      The same items may cost higher in the office of the DC but we don’t include such costs in the DC`s salary,` he said. He said the salary of an MP is 1.8m/-.

      The Speaker was reacting to reports that Parliament last year passed the National Assembly Act, 2008 which, among other things, improves legislators` salaries and other charges.

      The new Act is expected to be operational after the 2010 general election.

      Speaking last Wednesday during the launching of the Five-Year Corperate Plan 2009-2013 Sitta said the Plan aimed at making Parliament an effective institution that is more people-centred.

      According to the Speaker, the strategic objectives of the plan include enhancing MPs` overall effectiveness for better service to the general public and enhancing individual effectiveness of MPs by providing them with properly equipped offices at constituencies and Parliament premises.

      The plan, which is expected to cost 373.9bn/- during implementation, will involve giving Members of Parliament staff assistants and upgraded data services and constantly reviewing their emoluments and welfare packages to keep MPs and staff appropriately motivated.

      Commenting on the for MPs’ per diem and allowances to be taxed, Speaker Sitta said that is subject to the change of the Income Tax Act, 2004.

      However, he said if allowances are to be taxed then that has to be applied to all workers in the country and not MPs alone.

      ``To be frank I don`t agree with people who want allowances to be taxed. You can’t give a person a subsistence allowance and again tax it. It is absolutely meaningless,`` he said.

      Yaani wanaacha kujadili ni jinsi gani serikali ifanye na kuweza kuongeza kipato cha kila mtanzania, wanatafuta jinsi ya kujiongezea wao kwanza, huku wakijua hali za wananchi wengine ni mbaya na zinaendelea kushuka cvibaya sana
      Hawa jamani, linapokuja swala na pesa za wabunge ni Dk Slaa tu ndio anapinga kwa sababu anajua pesa hiyo ni nyingi za itawapandishia maisha walipa kodi, wako wapi hakina Mama Kilango, Mwakyembe, Kimario, na wengineo wanasemaje kuhusu hili
      Wabunge kuweni kweli wazalendo wa nchi yenu na piganieni haki za watanzania, sio kwenye ufisadi nao mnfuatilia baaada ya kunyimana dili wenyewe kwa wenyewe

      Pole Dk Slaa, ila nakubali unao moyo wa dhati wa kuwakomboa watanzania baba, tuko nyuma yako tunapigana pia

      Parliament workers deserve a pay rise, says Sitta
      By Beatus Kagashe


      Speaking in Dar es Salaam yesterday, Mr Sitta said the workers deserve to be paid handsomely to reflect 'good work' that they were doing for the nation.

      .

      1. Hii ina maana wabunge wooooote wanafanya kazi nzuri kwa taifa hata wale wasiofungua mdomo wala kwenda majimboni kwao?
      "good work" ? Lini ilifanyika tathmini kupima ufanisi wa wabunge?
      Katika kupima ufanisi lazima kuna vigezo vya kuonyesha level ya performance - Outstanding, satisfactory, good, poor.Haiwezekani wabunge wote 299 or so wawe wamepata alama sawa! Utakuwa muujiza.

      2. Nani alistahili kupima ufanisi? is it Speaker/Bunge lenyewe au mwajiri kwa maana ya wapiga kura majimboni?
      Ingewezekana kukawa angalau na opinion polls kuweza kupata hata feeling ya wananchi ambao ndio waajiri wa wabunge.
