Rashid Othman: Umeshindwa Jiuzulu!

[Kubwajinga]

Na kitendo cha waziri Chenge, kujiuzulu inadhirisha wazi uzito wa hoja yangu kuwa rais angejua mapema, asingemchagua kuwa waziri, lakini kwa sababu hakupewa ripoti mapema na mkurugenzi wa usalama ambaye kisheria ndiye mwenye mamlamka hayo, sasa kwangu it does not matter kwamba mkurugenzi ni nani, lakini ninaungana na mtoa hii hoja kuwa ni lazima ajiuzulu kwa hilo, je hoja yako on kichwa cha hii topic ni ipi? zaidi ya kunishambulia mimi binafsi badala ya hoja?

Mkuu FMES,
Hii hoja yako ya kuwa JK hakuyajua haya sikubaliani nayo kabisa, unless kama utakuwa na proof.

Kama ilivyokuwa kwa mbadhirifu mashuhuri Lowassa ambaye anafahamika kabisa kuwa sio safi lakini bado JK alimpa madaraka, tena makubwa, nafikiri JK pia aliyafahamu ya Chenge lakini hakujali na aliamua tu kumpa ulaji zaidi. Ni vema JK tukamjumlisha na hawa wateule wake na sio kumwacha yeye pembeni kama vile ni mtakatifu. He is not.

 

[William J. Malecela]

Hii hoja yako ya kuwa JK hakuyajua haya sikubaliani nayo kabisa, unless kama utakuwa na proof.

Mkuu Kubwajinga,

1. Lowassa, alirudishwa kwenye power na Mkapa, Mwalimu akiwepo, sasa anakuwaje good kwa uwaziri wa Mkapa, lakini sio u-pm wa muungwana? It was toka aliporudishwa na Mkapa, lakini uzuri ni kwamba sasa hayupo tena na ndio hivi tunalilia watinge kwenye mikono ya sheria.

2. Ninaamini 100%, kuwa muungwana hakuyajua ya Chenge na hela za nje zilizosemwa kwa mara ya kwanza last week na gazeti la Guardian la UK, na kumfanya Chenge ajiuzulu this week, sasa kama rais alikuwa anyajua hayo Chenge asingejiuzulu, kama vile Mkapa, alivyomtetea Ngasongwa.

Halafu, Besides the ishu hapa ni mkurugenzi wa usalama, sio Chenge, maana kuna ishu ya Chenge kuleee, kama ni proof basi labda wewe unayo inayosema kuwa rais alijua, au?

3. Mimi binafsi bado ninampa rais, the benefit of the doubt kwa sababu so far haijatokea ishu inayomgusa moja kwa moja, lakini itakapotokea kama kawaida yangu itakuwa ni kumkoma nyani!

 

[Rev. Kishoka]

Naomba mwenye listi ya waliowahi kuwa Wakurugenzi wa Usalama wa Taifa tangu tupate uhuru wamwage data..

Nafahamu wafuatao..Mzee Sawaya, Emilius Mzena, Agostino Mahiga, Imran Kombe, Cornelius Apson, Rachid Othman.

Je kuna wengne ambao labda nimewasahau?

 

[Rev. Kishoka]

Naomba niambatanishe majibu ya Mheshimiwa Mwandosya kuhusiana na Ununuzi wa Radar alioutoa Bungeni

[Icadon]

kama mwambata wetu wa jeshi Col GK aliwahi kuzungumzia hii issue ya radar haingii akilini kuwa iliwapita watu wa TISS....

 

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

Icadon, sheria ya TISS inasema wapi kuhusu kuwa na wafanyakazi wa TISS kwenye balozi zetu?

Mkjj, hiyo sheria sijawahi kuiona/soma ....na ndio maana kwenye posts za nyuma niliuliza nini hasa kazi zao hawa watu kwenye balozi zetu na kwenye taasisi nyingine.

 

[ques]

Mniwie radhi hii habari yangu imaktaa kwenda kwenye ile thread ya Buzwagi nahisi imezuiliwa ... pata habari/ujumbe wangu

Tuwaunge mkono wananchi wa Buzwagi, kwani huo ni mojawapo ya migodi yenye mikataba ya mizengwe. Cha msingi ni kuwapa taarifa muhimu zitakazowawezesha kujenga hoja juu ya madai yao.
Tukumbuke kuwa migodi yote ilikuwa imeshikilwa na vigogo wa RICHMOND hivyo wameteteraka sana kwa sasa na sheria zinawabana ktk kona mbalimbali ikiwepo mitaa ya kodi n.k
Mfano jamaa RA ndiye mwenye contract za kuchimba dhahabu ktk migodi yote na kampuni ianyochimba haina mining license yet akataka kusamehewa kodi ya mafuta ... ila hivi majuzi kibao kimegeuka na kula penalt a kufa mtu!!! hata hivyo wakati Chiligati alipotangaza kupanda kwa kima cha chini kwenye sekta ya madini yeye RAziz na kampuni yake ya Capsian walikataa kuwapa wafanyakazi wachimbaji kwa madai kuwa kampuni yake inayochimba ni industry na siyo ya mining ... hivyo wenzetu wa baadhi ya miigodi bado wanasota hawajpata mishhara mipya!!!

Tujiulize iweje industry ikachimbe wakati huohuo watake kusamehewa kodi ya mafuta wakati hawana mining license??? Halfu itakuwaje kampuni ambayo haina mining license ipewe kazi kubwa kama hiyo??? POLITIC NDUGU!!!

Poleni kwa kuwaletea habari ndefu ila nadhani ina uhusiano mkubwa na kilio cha wananchi wa Buzwagi .... kwani wanolia siyo walio nje tu hadi wafanyakazi wa migodini ... they are going through hell!!!!

 

[Brutus]

Icadon, sheria ya TISS inasema wapi kuhusu kuwa na wafanyakazi wa TISS kwenye balozi zetu?

Nadhani kabla ya kujiuliza swali hili tujiulize kwanza, kwa nini TISS kuna Kurugenzi ya Usalama wa nje?( External Intelligence.. whatever they call it!) Bila shaka wafanyakazi wa TISS walioko kwenye balozi zetu ni agents toka idara hii!

Kwa maoni yangu, tatizo ni muundo wa vyombo vyote usalama ukiondoa jeshi!
Hakuna maana ya kuwa na TAKUKURU, Financial Intelligence Unit , TISS na idara zake zote pamoja na Jeshi la Polisi!
Muundo huu umekaa kama bado tuko kwenye Cold War!

Ingekuwa bora kama TAKUKURU, FInancial Intelligence Unit, Internal Intel, na part ya CID-Police wakajumuishwa pamoja then ikaundwa Law Enforcement Agency moja itakayo-deal na Criminal Investigation. Reason kubwa ni kwamba.. no matter what we call it.. Rushwa na shughuli zake ni CRIME.. period!

IN addition, TISS ingeachwa na External Intel pamoja na Idara nyingine zilizobakia. Maana tukizungumzia Ujasusi sio ujasusi wa kukimbizana Manzese.. it is all about Espionage!! Kuiba siri za mataifa mengine via Open Source Data Collections au Covert Operations kwa manufaa ya taifa letu.. ziwe siri za kiuchumi, kiusalama etc!
Ili kuendana na kauli-mbiu ya Economic Diplomacy itabidi tu TISS ibadilike! Makaburu wameshaacha fujo zao.. fujo zimehamia kwenye vita ya kiuchumi!

Mwisho kabisa, jeshi la polisi lifanyiwe mabadiliko lifanye kazi kama majeshi ya polisi ya nchi nyingine.. Policing Community!
Muundo wa sasa ni mgumu.. hauna tofauti na Polisi wa Eastern Bloc wakati wa Cold War! hatuhitaji hii kitu tena.. twende na wakati. Polisi anavaa gwanda wakati hajui hata kuendesha gari?

 

[William J. Malecela]

kama mwambata wetu wa jeshi Col GK aliwahi kuzungumzia hii issue ya radar haingii akilini kuwa iliwapita watu wa TISS....

Sawa sawa, unajua ninamuaminia sana mkulu GK maana ni kichwa haswa, sasa kwa yeye kuhoji hivi.....!

Mkuu Brutus,

Maneno mazito sana hayo!

 

[FDR Jr]

Mkuu Kubwajinga,

1. Lowassa, alirudishwa kwenye power na Mkapa, Mwalimu akiwepo, sasa anakuwaje good kwa uwaziri wa Mkapa, lakini sio u-pm wa muungwana? It was toka aliporudishwa na Mkapa, lakini uzuri ni kwamba sasa hayupo tena na ndio hivi tunalilia watinge kwenye mikono ya sheria.
{Mkuu wa Medani za kivita, Nakukumbusha kuwa awamu zote zilijenga msingi wa kuzalisha vijana wao,Benjamin ni product ya siasa za awamu ya kwanza ktk anga za kitaifa,naamini baadhi ya majina ambayo Mwinyi alipewa na Mwalimu alipokuwa anaondoka Ben alikuwamo na wengi wa aina hiyo. Hoja yangu hapa kaka ni kurejea kauli ya Alhaj Mwinyi alimuomba Ben asiwatupe Jakaya na Edward ,mzee huyu alitamka hadharani ktk mkutano mkuu ulitoa rais wetu wa awamu ya Tatu,kama kuna mwenye kumbu.interms of rejea ya speech ya Mzee Mwinyi baada ya Mkapa kuteuliwa mtakutana na ombi hilo rasmi, na ninapenda kukubaliana nawe kuwa Mwalimu hakumkutaka Edward tena ktk siasa za kitaifa na Mkapa alimridhisha kwa kumuweka pembeni ktk baraza lake la kwanza ila kuna fact ingine kuwa Edward na kaka yangu Guninita hawakukubaliana na kushindwa kwa JK na walionyesha vitendo ambavyo wakuu na wapambe wa mteule hawakuridhishwa navyo,kuna taarifa kuwa Edward na Guninita walilia kama watoto pale Chimwaga na kujikuta wakitamka yasiyotakiwa na wenzao hali hiyo ilimgharimu Edward na Guninita kukihama chama chetu baada kusakamwa na wapambe na yeye kutokuwa tayari kukubali matokeo hata yale ya nje ya ukumbi, Edward alionyesha ukomavu kwa kuwa mtulivu sana bungeni na daima aliegemeza hoja kuisaidia serikali,mfano issue ya Million 900 ya Mrema alikuwa ni Edward aliyejenga hoja za kitaalam bungeni mpka kuwashawishi wabunge wengi kufikia hatima ya skendo ile,1997 Ben alifanya marekebisho makubwa ktk baraza lake na hapo waliingia Masilingi,Edward na Iddy, ni kipindi hiki Ben alichoonyesha muelekeo wa maridhiano ya kichama kwa kurejesha pande zote ktk serikali yake na ni hapo Alhaj Mwinyi alipoona Ben amekumbuka ombi lake tena ktk kipindi julius yuko hai. }

2. Ninaamini 100%, kuwa muungwana hakuyajua ya Chenge na hela za nje zilizosemwa kwa mara ya kwanza last week na gazeti la Guardian la UK, na kumfanya Chenge ajiuzulu this week, sasa kama rais alikuwa anyajua hayo Chenge asingejiuzulu, kama vile Mkapa, alivyomtetea Ngasongwa.

{Dkt Ngasongwa ni mmoja wa wahanga wa ripoti ya jaji Warioba's report + Majungu ya akina Msola SUA + wajenzi wa fitina za siasa kwa kuzingatia wizara aliyokuwemo, lakini Dkt Ngasongwa alifahamu mchezo aliofanyiwa mapema, licha ya wazee wengi wa mkoa wa Morogoro na chamani kumshawishi kutojiuzuru yeye aliandika barua ya kujiuzuru wakati rais yuko nje ya nchi na alipofika aliikuta mezani na alipomwita na kumhoji Dkt Ngasongwa kwa kujiamini kuwa alipakaziwa kwa makusudi alishikilia msimamo huo wa kujiuzuru na kama ataonekana amehusika yuko tayari kuachia nafasi yake ya Ubunge , Mh.Rais kama anamuamini basi ni vema akubali kujiuzuru kwake na uchunguzi pia,na umma upewe taarifa juu ya kile alichotuhumiwa nacho,uchunguzi ulifanyika baada Ben kukubali kujiuzuru kwake na kuamuru afanyiwe uchunguzi,matokeo Tume ya maadili ya viongozi,hawa jamaa wanaohukumiwa hapa sasa wote walijiridhisha kuwa Dkt Ngasongwa hakuhusika na ufisadi wowote, sasa pengine hapa mkuu wa medani utusaidie ni vipi mkapa anafananishwa na issue ya Chenge kwa JK,ni ufafanuzi tu au ni ule msimamo wa kwanza athibitike then hatua zinafuatia ?}

Halafu, Besides the ishu hapa ni mkurugenzi wa usalama, sio Chenge, maana kuna ishu ya Chenge kuleee, kama ni proof basi labda wewe unayo inayosema kuwa rais alijua, au?

3. Mimi binafsi bado ninampa rais, the benefit of the doubt kwa sababu so far haijatokea ishu inayomgusa moja kwa moja, lakini itakapotokea kama kawaida yangu itakuwa ni kumkoma nyani!

Mkuu,
Umenikumbusha mbali sana na issue ya Vector 21, kuna mtu alikaribia kukata mawasiliano na mimi baada ya kuiona kwenye pc.

Uliyoyasema hapo juu yote tumeyajadili HAPA
Nakubaliana na wewe mia kwa mia.
Tatizo kubwa na nitaendelea kulisema ni wanasiasa kutaka kugeuza kila kitu siasa na kikukiendesha kisiasa.

Aisee Icadon!

Tanzania Intelligence and Security Service Act (Act no 15 of 1996)

For many years, the Tanzania intelligence service was a mythical entity. Service personnel were feared and shunned by society. They were negatively labelled as ‘flies’, ‘peeping Toms’, and others. They also had unlimited funds to use allegedly in pursuit of ‘enemies of the state’. Yet, they were above all using the taxpayer’s money without being accountable. This was considered to be unfair, hence, the enactment of the Tanzania Intelligence and Security Service Act. This legislation is primarily aimed at demystifying the so-called secret service and making it transparent and accountable to the public.

The Act formally establishes the Tanzania Intelligence and Security Service (TISS) as a government department in the Office of the President, with its main function to ensure security in the country.39

The Service is supposed to collect, analyse and retain information which, on reasonable grounds, is suspected to relate to activities that constitute a threat to the security of the United Republic of Tanzania or any part of it.40 In order to collect information, the Service has the power to investigate any person or body of persons who may cause a threat to the security of the country. In the course of the investigation, the service may enter into arrangements with international organisations to provide the government with security assessments.41 This is in line with article 13 of the Convention. Under this article, state parties are urged to enter into arrangements to establish joint investigation bodies. It is emphasised, however, that in the course of this form of co-operation, respect for the sovereignty of the other country must prevail.

Understandably, the duties of the Service are performed secretively. Information can only be disclosed for investigation purpose and in the public interest.42 Thus, there is protection of officials and employees of the Service, as well as their sources of information.43 In addition, employees of the Service are legally protected for acts bona fide done or omitted in relation to their duties and functions. Sources of information to the Service are protected, and no particulars of a person who is a confidential source of information will be disclosed. This form of protection is also covered by the Convention in relation to witnesses.44 It is an offence to obstruct an employee of the Service in the course of duty.45

The intelligence service in any country, if properly utilised, can play an important part in the war against organised crime.

Icadon,

What else do we need to tell Wananchi kuwa TISS has failed to provide security to the country?

Maana suala la IPTL na Richmond pekee pamoja na uhujumu wa kipesa, matokeo ya kugotagota kwa kupatikana umeme ni tishio kwa usalama wa Taifa kwa kutufikisha mahali tunategemea kila kitu kiwe cha kuagizwa kwa kuwa viwanda vyetu havina nyenzo kuu ya kusaidia uzalishaji mali wao.

Ama kuongezeka kwa uagizaji na kuduma kwa mauzo ya bidhaa zetu nje, kunadumaza ukuaji wa nguvu ya sarafu yetu na hivyo kuishia thamani ya pesa yetu kushuka na uchumi kuyumba.

Tukija kwenye mambo ya ufisadi uwe wa ATCL, TRC, Buzwagi, Radar na hata kero nyingine. Usalama wa Taifa letu umewekwa mikononi mwa wachache wenye nia ya kuuchezea na kutudhoofisha kama Taifa.

Sasa kama vitendo hivi ni dhahiri vinadhoofisha afya ya taifa letu na chombo kikubwa cha kulinda Usalama na maslahi ya Taifa kilikuwa kinagota au kinashiriki katika "uhujumu" (Kagoda please!) je kuna faida gani kwa chombo hicho kuendelea kufanya kazi bila kuwajibika?

Shhhh!! Angalia wasije kusema una chuki binafsi lol.....I guess we need to define the term usalama wa taifa...maana vitu vingi vinaweza kuhatarisha usalama wa taifa sio lazima iwe uvunjaji wa amani tuu kwa kutumia silaha.

 

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

Icadon, "usalama wa Taifa" has already been defined, labda useme in light of what is going on.. there is an urgent need to redefine "Usalama wa Taifa".

 

[Rev. Kishoka]

Ukisoma Strategic Intent 2007-2011 ya CIA utakutana na hiki kitu ambacho Tanzania tunakipuuzia.

Open Source. Juzi Simba kasema eti hatuwezi kuanza uchunguzi kwa kusoma magazeti! Hivi leo nikiandika nataka kuzalisha koboko pale jirani na Bunge, watalichukulia kimzaha?

WASHINGTON — The CIA plans to increase its use of "open sources" such as newspapers and blogs and to outsource more software development to commercial contractors under a 22-point strategy being put in place.
The CIA's "Strategic Intent," distributed to agency employees in December and posted on its public website this month, stresses improved flexibility and fewer barriers between departments. It contains several corporate-style flourishes, including ongoing employee input, an advisory board drawn from business and academia and "action teams" assigned to implement the plan.
In a speech to CIA workers at the agency's Langley, Va., headquarters Jan. 4, CIA Director Michael Hayden said the plan aims to reassert the 60-year-old agency's primacy in the intelligence community.
"The operational demands of the recent past too often limited the time and energy CIA has to address the demands of the future," Hayden said. "We've gotten away with it for a few years — and for very good reasons — but no organization can thrive indefinitely without tending to strategic imperatives."
The changes come as President Bush has chosen retired vice admiral J. Michael McConnell as director of national intelligence. He would replace John Negroponte, who will become the top deputy to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. McConnell, like Hayden, is a former National Security Agency head.
Among the CIA plan's goals:
•Break down traditional barriers between spies who collect intelligence and analysts who use the data for reports. In the agency's operations center, a wall that divided representatives of the two disciplines was dismantled the last week in December.
•Make greater use of the Web to distribute intelligence reports and data. The CIA, which has its own intranet, will have its "brand" on intelligence it distributes on secure networks maintained by the departments of State and Defense, Hayden said.
•Install new hiring and promotion policies, including pay grades tied to performance rather than seniority, and a common training course that will require new analysts and clandestine officers to work together from their first days at the agency.
•Post more analysts overseas to improve their understanding of the areas they report on.
•Give specialists in "open source" intelligence equal standing with spies and intelligence analysts in the operations center and elsewhere.
Open source "isn't just the wave of the future, it's here right now," said Walid Phares, senior fellow and al-Qaeda specialist at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies in Washington.
Phares said he does much of his research by monitoring Islamic websites and chat rooms.
Last year, a House Intelligence Committee review criticized intelligence agencies for failing to "embrace more fully" open source intelligence. The committee report said "it will take a dramatic change in cultural philosophy" before intelligence services rely on materials they did not gather through "secret means."

Angalia ya wenzetu..

The Mission

We are the nation's first line of defense. We accomplish what others cannot accomplish and go where others cannot go. We carry out our mission by:

• Collecting information that reveals the plans, intentions and capabilities of our adversaries and provides the basis for decision and action.
  
• Producing timely analysis that provides insight, warning and opportunity to the President and decisionmakers charged with protecting and advancing America's interests.
  
• Conducting covert action at the direction of the President to preempt threats or achieve US policy objectives.

Core Values

• Service. We put Country first and Agency before self. Quiet patriotism is our hallmark. We are dedicated to the mission, and we pride ourselves on our extraordinary responsiveness to the needs of our customers.
• Integrity. We uphold the highest standards of conduct. We seek and speak the truth—to our colleagues and to our customers. We honor those Agency officers who have come before us and we honor the colleagues with whom we work today.
• Excellence. We hold ourselves—and each other—to the highest standards. We embrace personal accountability. We reflect on our performance and learn from that reflection.

The Strategic Environment

We operate in an unstable and dangerous world where international terrorism, the rise of new powers, and the accelerating pace of economic and technological change will place enormous strains on the ability of states to govern and will sharply increase the potential for strategic surprises.

• Our adversaries in the long war on terrorism are dispersed across the globe; they are resilient, ruthless, patient and committed to the mass murder of our citizens.
• The possession and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction threatens international stability and the safety of our homeland.
• The rise of China and India and the emergence of new economic “centers” will transform the geopolitical and economic landscape.
• Weak governments, lagging economies, competition for resources, and youth bulges will create crises in many regions.

The Nation's Expectations

The American people look to us as never before. The bar has been set very high and appropriately so. They look to us to protect their way of life, to be dedicated to the security of the United States, and to uphold and defend the Constitution. They expect our nation's leaders to hold us accountable. They expect that in pursuit of our mission we will take risks and honor the very national values we seek to protect. They expect us to keep secrets but not have anything to hide. They expect us to work with integrity and speak truth to power.
