RIP Nyaulawa,
Nadiriki kusema kuwa yeye ndiye muasisi (indirectly) wa JF. Nadhani JF ni matokeo ya kufa kwa BCS baada ya discussions kule kuwa moto mno na hivyo kufungwa.
....so moto..tunaouona ukiunguza mafisadi leo hapa JF...ulianzia BCS iliyokuwa ikimilikiwa na NYAULAWA..thats good.....
RIP Nyaulawa.Jina la Bwana lihimidiwe.
Vikumbo sasa kwenye hilo jimbo,nafasi nyingine ya makamba na Mtikila
``February 21, 1995
On the morning of Feb. 21, police arrived at the office of the independent daily Majira and arrested editor (Sam) Makila and publishers (Rashidi) Mbuguni and (Richard Saidi) Nyaulawa. The three were taken to the headquarters of the minister of internal affairs, where they were held for the day and interrogated as to their sources for a Feb. 19 article concerning a loan that the government was taking out in order to buy radar equipment, a loan for which it was allegedly using the Zimbabwe national gold reserve as collateral. They were warned that charges would be pressed if they did not reveal their sources, and on March 9 they were officially charged with sedition and disclosure of state secrets. The trial was postponed at least four times and is still pending. They face up to 10 years in prison if convicted. CPJ protested the charges on July 10.´´*
FEBRUARY 2, 1996
``Tanzanian authorities drop charges of sedition and withholding information against the former editor and publishers of the Kiswahili-language newspaper, Majira. The then-editor of Majira, Sam Makila, and the papers publishers, Rashidi Mbuguni and Richard Nyaulawa, were detained on February 22, 1995 before being charged in terms of the National Security Act. The police wanted Makila to reveal the source of a story Majira published three days previously exposing plans by the cash-strapped government to spend US$130 million on radar equipment. The court drops the charges because of a lack of evidence by the state.´´**

Marehemu na wenzake walikuwa wa kwanza kuandika ufisadi wa radar. Sijui kama Bungeni aliwahi ku address ufisadi ule, pamoja na sheria za kidikteta za Sedition zilizomuweka kizuizini. I hope Business Times wata cover kikamilifu kazi za maisha ya marehemu, mchapishaji wao. Sidhani.
Lakini kama ilivyokawaida yetu, tunampa mtu sifa na heshima zake akiwa amefariki lakini akiwa hai huwa sifa hizo hatumpi. Why didn't we let the Tanzanians know about this before he died. That would be kind than what we are doing now.
