Tanzania wins UN award

[JOHN MADIBA]

Dar es Salaam. Tanzania has won one of the respectable United Nations awards on public services delivery.
The country received the UN award yesterday in Dar es Salaam after winning in the second category involving promotion of public service delivery in Africa.

The country won the category through its project of property and business formalisation known as Mkurabita in Kiswahili.Speaking shortly after receiving the award on behalf of the government, the minister of State in the President’s Office in charge of Social Relations Coordination, Mr Stephen Wassira, said the country scooped the award after owing to Mkurabita’s strategies to improve people’s lives.

He said through the project, people could use their properties as collateral in applying for loans.“Since poor people lack capital, the formalisation programmes enable people to get loans,” he said.

Despite the fact that the project is funded by the central government, Mr Wassira said it was difficult to implement in all regions due to financial constraints.He said that once the districts allocated their own funds to their projects, they would benefit early from the projects without waiting for the central government’s money.Mkurabita had so far been implemented in Arusha, Njombe and Morogoro regions.

For his part, Vice President Gharib Bilal said the award was inherently motivational and was something that needed to be upheld.The UN award is the most prestigious international recognition of excellence in public service.

It rewards the creative achievements and contributions of public service institutions that lead to a more effective and responsive public administration in countries worldwide.Through an annual competition, the UN Public Service Awards promotes the role, professionalism and visibility of public service

I wonder how other countries might be fairing with public service delivery if this dark of ours is awarded an accolade! Shame on the body that has given that award! Lest them visit Ardhi, TRA, Hospitals, and many more public institutions and be served to the rank of an award!

Shame on UN!!! it is a sick big joke. this is another form of corruption within UN system - Migiro? how can these corrupt public institutions be awarded for good service?-police, tra, gov ministries, judicial system....???!!!

We can win this is about change of policies to enable peole use their meagre resources to access loans etc.
In Mbozi small villageres have their lands surveyed and occupancy/title deeds issued which will be used as collateral at the banks. It will take sometimes for most part of Tanzania to have a feel but it will be felt not long to come if it will not end shortly! Having several occupancy cerificates for the big buildings in Dar is also one of their initiative (sasa unaweza ukanunua apartment na ukamilikishwa ikawa ya kwako katika ghorofa kubwa au katika estate). Certificate of Occupancy can be used as a collateral and it is a legitimate document which wasn't the case before!

Hivi kuna huduma ya kijamii yoyote Tanzania ambaye imefika japo 20 percent katika kutolewa kwa wananchi, maji, umeme, elimu, ulinzi, barabara, mawasilino na kadhalika, mwenye data tafadhali!

 

[RedDevil]

Changa la macho! UN ni shirika la kijasusi la marekani linalotoa propaganda kwenye nchi nyingi duniani!!

 

[Mshume Kiyate]

Hawa wazungu ni washenzi sana! Yani UN, ndio wanajifanya kutusemea sisi watanzania! Kuna huduma gani za jamii Tanzania

 

[Ngambo Ngali]

This is a joke, a joke indeed.

Wametumia vigezo gani, nani amefanya hiyo rating? In a country which a public officer is busy with looking for trips and allowances of all kinds instead of providing services for the people!!!!

Halafu unasikia UN wametoa zawadi na anayepokea ni mtu ambaye analipwa kuhudumia wananchi na juzi kabambwa amelala bungeni, inatufanya tutafakari maana ya public service.

 

[Mtazamaji]

Watu wa UN wanakaa kwenye ofisi new york na pale Dar wakisoma document wanatoa award. Wangejua hiyo Miradi inaishia kwenye makaratasi tu. more than 80% ya gaharama za miradi inaishia kwenye uendeshaji.
