kabla ya kuwa waziri alikuwa anaishi wapi? na kwanini aliamia hotelini?
kabla ya kuwa waziri alikuwa anaishi wapi? na kwanini aliamia hotelini?
....."Sasa Tizeba na wadhifa wake angekaa wapi?"
siku zote haya ndo huwa mawazo yangu, kwanini? anachaguliwa au kuteuliwa kiongozi ambaye anakuwa mzigo kwa taifa? kwani hata yy mwenyewe kajishindwa kutokuwa na nyumba ya kuishi. na kama alikuwa na nyumba ya kuishi kwanini? ahame, igeni mfano wa jaji mstaafu AUGUSTINO RAMADHAN hakuhama nyumba yake na bado fedha zilizotolewa kwa ajili ya ukarabati wa nyumba yake hiyo, alizikataa na kuelakeza zikajenge jengo la mahakama lkn mtu haya HASIFIWI kumpa madaraka mtu ambaye hana nyumba au anahama baada ya uteuzi ni sifa ya kukosa UADILIFU.njaa mbaya kweli kabla hajawa waziri alikua anaishi ubungo kwenye nyumba yake, inamaana nyumba yake aliyoijenga mwenyewe naamini haikua na hadhi ya yeye kuishi kisa kapata uwaziri ?
Minister finally leaves hotel
By Florian Kaijage
27th January 2013
The deputy minister who spent more than eight months in a Dar es Salaam hotel and occasioned more than Sh100 million in bills has finally moved to a residential house.
The Guardian on Sunday has reliably established that the Deputy Minister for Transport, Dr. Charles Tizeba, has moved out of the New Africa hotel -- in less than a week since this paper reported his lengthy stay and the staggering accumulated bills which must be settled from public funds.
"He checked out last week … I am told he has moved to a government house in Mikocheni area," one source at the Ministry of Transport said this week.
The Guardian on Sunday has since learnt that the matter was discussed at various formal and informal meetings in the aftermath of our report -- and the main concern was how the details were unveiled to this newspaper.
It is understood that one of those meetings took place in Zanzibar.
The Matter
On January 13, this year this paper reported that the government had forked-out more than Sh100 to house Dr. Charles Tizeba, the Deputy Minister for Transport, at the four-star New Africa Hotel since his appointment to the post on May 4, 2012 –following a cabinet reshuffle against the backdrop of mounting public accusations of inefficiency and misuse of public funds in a number of ministries.
This paper has established that the hotel bills continued accumulating whether Dr Tizeba was in Dar es Salaam or elsewhere on business or private missions.
New Africa Hotel room charges fall under three categories: Standard rooms that go for $160 a night; Club rooms pegged at $180 and Suites at $300 per night. The Guardian on Sunday had reliably learnt that Dr. Tizeba stayed in a suite ($300), but pays a discounted $250 a night after government officials asked for a reduction and successful negotiated against the normal price.
As of January 12, Tizeba had lived at the hotel for at least 247 days, bringing the total bill to $61,750 (Sh98.8 million)
However, the bill is specifically for bed and breakfastonly, which implies that the total bill could be bigger when other charges, such as meals, are tallied. A single buffet meal at New Africa Hotel costs at least Sh 21,000 per person. But since he is a family man, addition bills may pop up; two of his children recently paid him a visit for more than a week – for whom he doled out a discounted $150 a night.
When reached then Dr Tizeba, the legislator for Buchosa, advised this reporter to contact the authorities responsible for allocating residential houses to ministers and other public leaders.
"I can not allocate a house to myself … there are authorities responsible for that, so please talk to them and get an official statement," he retorted. However, sources privy to the Ministry of Transport told this paper that the Prime Minister's Office was footing all the hotel bills.
But PMO Permanent Secretary Paniel Lyimo declined
