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.

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.

Ndugu hata sijui hayo...I just know one thing...acha liwalo na liwe, teh teh teh. Ukiona mtu anaandika vile unategemea nini?

poleni kwa waliolifunga kwani upuuzi mlioufanya kwa ulimboka tumeshaujua subirini sasa 2015 muone

Ni mwanzo mzuri kwa serikali, kesho waifungie na JF afu ndo waone tutakapokwenda kujadilia mambo yetu ikulu!

By Ritz

serikali imechelewa mno kulifungia.

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 !

Nakushauri kuwa makini usije na wewe kufungiwa lakini. Chezea serikali wewe!!

Sasa hapa ndipo watu waamini yaliyo kuwa yanasemwa kila siku hii ni serikali dhaifu yenye maamuzi dhaifu. Hivi ni visasi na havito ishia hapa tutarajie kushangazwa zaidi.

By sembuli

karibu wote wanaounga mkono serikali kwa ujinga na aibu hii wamejiunga JF leo kama wewe!! Nahisi wewe ni mmoja wa wale wanaodai nyongeza ya posho za propaganda pale lumumba kwa kuunga mkono magamba na maamuzi yao ya kiimla.

hapa tunashindana kwa hoja,sio muda wa kujiunga jf.mwanahalisi anafanyia uchunguzi wake kwenye daftari la wapiga kura halafu anakuja kutudanganya hapa kwa nini?hatudanganyiki.

The way we see the problem is the problem. Yaani kuna watu wana vichwa bwana na wanafikiria utafikiri dunia inaishia leo. But all in all, I have kept the copy of that MwanaHalisi edition as a memory of the shit we have been making to ourselves by lack of critical thinking...it was one of the amazing investigative stories in our country.

mkuu kama kunauwezekano wa kuiiatach naomba, uitupie humu tena maana mi nilii save lakini kila napojaribu kuifungua nakuta na pingamizi la akina mods

Wajinga kabisa hawa wanashindwa kutetea hoja na kuamua kufungia gazeti
Mwisho wao uko karibu sana.....
wasidhani tunawaangalia tu
Tanzania ya sasa sio Tanzania ya miaka 40 iliyopita
mambo yao machafu yako wazi hivo hakuna wanachofanya....

Hii nimeisoma kutoka Michuzi blogspot, kwa sababu ya habari zinazo chochea wananchi.

Sheria za nchii hii haziruhusu habari za kiuchunguzi? manake nionavyo mimi, wangeshtakiwa mahakamani wakishindwa kuthibitisha walicho toa gazetini ndio hatua zifuate.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kubenea ni mnafiki na mpenda sifa hana lolote, Mbona ULIMBOKA ALIFANYIWA MCHEZO WA SODOMA NA GOMOLA hakuandika habari hizi na iko wazi ?

Siyo kila unachokifahamu kinafaa kuandikwa. Unaandika yale yenye maslahi kwa taifa. Hilo aliloliandika lina maslahi kwa taifa maana jeshi letu la polisi limetuahidi kuwa linafanya kila jitihada kumbaini aliyemteka Ulimboka na mara zote polisi wamekuwa wakipongeza taarifa za uhalifu wanazopewa na raia wema kupitia kile wanachokiita ulinzi shirikishi. Kwa nini mara hii Mwanahalisi haipewi ushirikiano na jeshi la polisi badala yake linanyamazishwa? Hapo kuna kitu.

kama gazet limefungiwa ili kuficha uovu wao basi waamie humu JF watupashe!! nahisi kuna mwingine wata muulimboka haya tungoje!!!

.... Walipokuja na sinema za Mkenya kwa Gwajima, werevu tukajua serikali haitaki kujikamata kwa kumteka na kumtesa Ulimboka. Ktk dunia ya leo na ktk mazingira ambayo Ulimboka alikuwa akiwasiliana kwa simu na watu mbalimbali kuhusiana na mgomo, haiingii akilini kwamba vyombo vyetu vya usalama havikufikiria ku-track simu zote zilizo wasiliana na Ulimboka. Jamani hawa polisi hata ukimtukana mtu kwa njia ya msg, watakushtaki au kukukamata, sembuse kwa hili ambapo mtu alitekwa na kuteswa nusura kufa?

Kinachoonekana hapa ni kwamba serikali haitaki watu wazungumzie suala la Ulimboka kwa sababu linaiacha uchi. Pia wanajua kwamba watanzania ni wasahaulifu-suala lisipoongelewa kwa muda wanasahau. Ktk nchi makini, suala la ulimboka na sinema zinazoendelea, zingetosha kuiyumbisha serikali, lakin si hapa bongo.

Nimalizie kwa kuwapa moyo Mwanahalisi: "You have a very good number of royal readers, including myself. We buy your paper every week, and we are willing and able to follow you anywhere!". Waiting to hear from you with regard to directions for the future....

Kubenea juu! Serikali dhaifu.

Moto wa wiki iliyopita ulikuwa mkali, anyway tutafika tu.

Wajameni tunaomba mwenye nakala ya makala ya hilo Gazeti atuwekee hapa hewani.

Tunashindwa kuelewa kwani tupo gizani wengine hatukuliona hilo gazeti la siku hiyo.

Tuwekeeni hapa nasi tufumbue macho nimejaribu website yao, kweli inaonyesha hiyo makala ilikuwepo katika website lakini uki - click inaonyesha Website imefungiwa pia.

Bila shaka Serikali wameifungia na Website pia kwa muda usiojulikana.


MIZAMBWA
INANIUMA SANA!!!

Sijakuelewa kwamba unashabikia kufungiwa kwa gazeti au kunyimwa uhuru wa kupata taarifa za kweli? Mbona UWT hawajakanusha iwapo waliotajwa sio watumishi wao, kesho akiteswa ndugu yako utakuwa happy km gazeti likisema watu waliomtesa likifugiwa?

hili ni dume la jike
