TAMKO LA SERIKALI

GAZETI LA MWANAHALISI LAFUNGIWA

Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania imelifungia kutochapishwa gazeti la MwanaHalisi kuanzia 30 Julai, 2012 kwa muda usiojulikana kutokana na mwenendo wake wa kuandika habari na makala za uchochezi, uhasama na uzushi likiwa na nia ya kusababisha wananchi kukosa imani na vyombo vya dola hali inayoweza kuhatarisha amani na mshikamano uliopo nchini.

Katika matoleo yake hivi karibuni, gazeti la MwanaHalisi toleo Na. 302 la Jumatano Julai, 11 – 18, 2012 na toleo Na. 303 la Jumatano Julai 18 – 24, 2012 na toleo Na. 304 la Jumatano Julai 25 hadi 01 Agosti, 2012 na mengine yaliyotangulia yamekuwa yakichapisha habari na makala zenye kueneza na kujenga hofu kwa jamii.

Mhariri wa gazeti la MwanaHalisi, ameitwa na kuonywa mara nyingi, lakini hataki kukiri kuwa maudhui ya makala zake hazina tija kwa jamii, pia hazifuati weledi na maadili ya taaluma ya uandishi wa habari.

Mhariri, mara zote katika utetezi wake amekuwa akinukuu kifungu cha 18 cha Katiba ya nchi yetu ambacho kinatoa uhuru wa kutoa maoni na kwa makusudi kutonukuu kifungu cha 30 cha Katiba hiyo kinachoweka ukomo wa uhuru.

Uamuzi wa Serikali
Serikali imeamua kulifungia kutochapishwa kwa muda usiojulikana gazeti la MwanaHalisi, kwa mujibu wa Sheria ya Magazeti ya mwaka 1976, kifungu Na. (25) (i), adhabu hiyo itaanza tarehe 30 Julai, 2012 kwa mujibu wa Tangazo la Serikali (Government Notice) Na. 258 lililochapishwa katika Gazeti la Serikali na kutolewa jijini Dar Es Salaam tarehe 27 Julai, 2012.

Serikali inawataka wamiliki, wahariri na wanahabari kuzingatia sheria, uzalendo, weledi na maadili ya taaluma ya uandishi wa habari katika kutekeleza wajibu wa kuhabarisha, kuelimisha na kutoa burudani kwa wananchi.

Kama ilivyoelezwa Bungeni wakati wa kuwasilisha Bajeti ya Wizara ya Habari, Vijana, Utamaduni na Michezo hivi karibuni waandishi na watangazaji wa habari wanatakiwa kuhakikisha kuwa habari wanazoziandika na vipindi wanavyoandaa vinazingatia taaluma na kuweka mbele maslahi ya Taifa letu na uzalendo. Uhuru na haki ya vyombo vya habari uendane na wajibu.

Kuanzia sasa Serikali haitasita kuchukua hatua dhidi ya vyombo vya habari ambavyo kwa maksudi vitatoa taarifa za uchochezi ambazo zitahatarisha hali ya amani na utulivu uliopo nchini mwetu.

Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) Statement;

Tanzanian authorities ban weekly indefinitely

Nairobi, July 30, 2012--The Tanzanian government today banned indefinitely the critical Swahili-language weekly MwanaHalisi, accusing the paper of publishing seditious articles, according to local journalists and a statement by the information ministry.

The ministry claimed that MwanaHalisi's four July editions contained seditious and false material but did not specify particular articles. Under the 1976 Newspaper Act, Tanzanian authorities can suspend a newspaper at will if they deem that it has "seditious intent," according to CPJ research. MwanaHalisi Chief Editor Jabir Idrissa told CPJ that the paper is considering filing an appeal.

Idrissa and other local journalists said they suspect the ban is related to a series of articles in MwanaHalisiconcerning the kidnap and torture in late June of physician Steven Ulimboka. Unknown assailants kidnapped and beat Ulimboka on the outskirts of the main commercial city Dar es Salaam after he led a doctors' strike, according to news reports. MwanaHalisi's reports suggested involvement by authorities, citing phone records of an alleged security officer, Idrissa said. Tanzanian security services and President Jakaya Kikwete have denied government involvement, according to local and international reports.

"Once again, Tanzanian authorities have wielded an archaic newspaper act and vague, unsupported accusations of sedition to censor reporting that is merely critical of the government," said CPJ East Africa Consultant Tom Rhodes. "Authorities should reverse this ban immediately and allow MwanaHalisi to report on the Ulimboka case without fear of reprisal."

Over the past year, Tanzanian authorities have called MwanaHalisi's editors in for questioning every two or three weeks over their articles, Idrissa said.

Tanzanian authorities used the Newspaper Act to suspend MwanaHalisi in October 2008 for three months for articles considered seditious and insulting to the president. During the 2010 election campaign, Sethi Kamuhanda, the permanent secretary of the ministry of information, visited print media houses to warn them that the government would close down any media that portrayed the government negatively, according to local journalists.

Wajameni serikali hii inataka kutufunga mdomo tuendelee kuwa gizani tusijue madudu yao.

Pole sana KUBENEA tupo na wewe habari zako za kiuchunguzi zinatusaidia sana na ndizo zinazotufungua macho tujue nchi yetu inavyoliwa.

By tanga kwetu

nilitoa photocopy 25 hii habari ya kutekwa na kuteswa kwa Dr. Ulimboka na kuigawa kwa watu mbalimbali stendi ya mabasi juzi jumapili. kwa kulifungia, baadae naenda kutoa photocopy 40 zaidi na kuzisambaza.

Hii mbinu yako nzuri nimeipenda mie pia hapa ofisini kuna mashine ya copy.....kuanzia leo natoa makopi yasiyokuwa na idadi na kuyasambaza kwa wana wa nchi hii huku nikiwaambia kuwa ukweli huo ndio umepelekea gazeti la mwanahalisi kufungiwa !

Huo ni unafiki na fitina za serikali.

ni unafiki,uchochezi na upandikizaji chuki wa kubenea na mabwana zake.

By MAMA POROJO

Kapigwa marufuku kuanzisha gazeti lingine.

Kichwa chake nacho wameking'oa au bado anacho? Kwani uwezo wa mtu uko wapi, kwenye computer anayofanyia kazi au kichwani kwenye ubongo wake? Mbona kazi mnayo.

kubenea,my hero.never give up

Wewe ulitegemea kama nani jeshi la polisi alifanyi kazi kienyeji kuokota habari mitaani kwa waandishi makanjanja.

Lakini kumwokota chizi na mwehu na kusingizia kuwa ni jasusi aliyekubuhu aliyemteka ulimboka kwa ushahidi uliorukwa na Mchungaji waliyemsingizia huo ndio umakini wa jeshi la Polisi unaotaka kutuaminisha. Jeshi lipi unalolizungumzia wewe hili la Kova au jingine. Waandishi wenye elimu kubwa ya uandishi hawawezi kuwa wachochezi maana wana matarajio ya kufanywa waandishi wa Ikulu. Umeziona taarifa zao wanazotoa kwa Press. Ni nafuu za huyo unayemuita Kanjanja ambaye kwa hatua hii Serikali imemuogopa na kumpandisha chati. Kidumu chama cha mapinduzi

By Mvaa Tai

Kwa taarifa yako Ulimboka akija hataruhusiwa kuzungumzia suala lake kwasababu lipo mahakamani kwani muhusika amekwishakamatwa.

Hahahhaa muhusika ni yule kichaa au wamemkamata tena mwingine ?

gfsonwin, sasa huyo Rama mbona hawakuiacha picha yake tuione?

By Dickson Ng'hily

Hata kama gov ya Magamba imelifungia, still bado kuna njia nyingi za kufikisha taarifa kwa public na hebu tuzitumie hizo huku tukipambana kuhakikisha Mwanahalisi anafunguliwa...Na actually tutumie wakati huu wa mabadiliko ya katika kuhakikisha sheria kandamizi kama hizi zilizotumiwa na selikali dhaifu kulifungia Mwanahalisi na mengine mengi, hazina nafasi katika kizazi chetu na kile kijacho...

Mkuu si uhamie CHADEMA basi kubwa tupambane vizuri na hii serkali dhalimu kwani unafaa sana ila tatizo umekula fungate na CCJ.

By ritz

kubenea nenda kaandikie tanzania daima.

nenda wewe

Hivi tumeshindwa kweli kuitoa hii serikali?

By Magesi

Kwa mara nyingine serikali dhaifu imeshindwa kujibu hoja ya kutaka kumshughulikia Dk.Ulimboka kwa kulifungia gazet la mwanahalisi lililomtaja mtuhumiwa bila uoga huu ni udhaifu mkubwa katika kuwajibika kwa wananchi

Kubenea amejikaanga mwenyewe hakuna UHURU WA HABARI DUNIANI USIO NA MIPAKA , HAKUNA HAKUNA. NA UHURU USIO NA MIPAKA NI SAWA SAWA NA WENDA WAZIMU. Poleni sana ila Kubenea amelipwa kinacho stahiki na hana ushujaa wowote, mie nadhani badilisha heading isomer KUBENEA NA MWANAHALISI NI WASALITI NA WANAFIKI WA TAIFA.

Sasa ndo washalifungia, inamaana wengine lazima waogope vinginevyo nao watafungiwa, serikali hii si dhaifu dhidi ya wanahabari

Ushawahi kuona mtu anawinda mende na bunduki?

Nimeona mtu anayewinda sisimizi kwa kifaru.

By Ndahani

thatha, hata mimi sijui wana sababu zipi. Labda ni kwasababu ya toleo lao la wiki iliyopita!

ok, lakini labda kuna jambo la msingi, unajua lile toleo liliingia ndani zaidi kiasi kwamba pengine hata kungetokea migongano kati ya vyombo vya dola, vyombo vya maamuzi na media. Nakumbuka hata baadhi ya taasisi za habari zilisema kuwa Mwanahalisi lilienda mbali zaidi.

By Gagnija

Najaribu tu kufikiria, hivi Mwanahalisi wakienda mahakamani kupinga kufungiwa huku, na mahakama ikaamuru kuwa kufungiwa huko ni batili na walipwe fidia kwa hasara itokanayo, huyo atakayekuwa ameamua wafungiwe na kusababisha hasara hiyo tumchukulie hatua gani?

Ndugu,

Hili suala ni zito sana, na Kubenea ninavyomuaminia anazo data zote na viambatanisho kama ambavo amekuwa akifanya katika kuleta habari zake.

Nasema hivyo kwa kutumia mifano ya habari zake za kuhusu EPA na zingine nzito.

Mwanahalisi inaweza kupima uzito wa kifungo hicho na kama ilivyokuwa mwaka 2009 ilipofungiwa wanaweza kwenda mahakamani ingawa hawatoweza kushinda kesi kutokana na mahakama hiyohiyo kuwa moja ya mihimili ya serikali.

Lakini kwa kupitia baraza la habari ambalo nalo huchaguliwa na lipo kwenye payroll ya serikali pia suala hilo linaweza kuangaliwa ingawa waziri wa wizara husika ambae ndie alietoa agizo la kufungiwa nae amefuata uamuzi wa vikao vya dharura.

Pia chanzo cha habari cha bwana Said Kubenea nacho kinaweza kuwa matatizoni kwa ama kuhatarisha maisha yake au ya Kubenea au wote wawili.

Kwahio bado tunasubiri toleo la filamu ya Mabwepane and Wrath of the Pliers mwaka 2015, inshaalah!.

Tuliyajua hayo kitambo kweli yametimia. Siku zenu za kukaa madarakani zinahesabika.
