Britain under pressure to review £200 million aid for Tanzania after US cuts support

Very stupid indeed.Just because a country has refused another country to impose terms on it, giving it aid is "spraying money,"Extremely annoying words.Afterall what moral authority does Britain or the US has to impose terms on Tanzania.Such immoral countries imposing terms on Tanzania?Very unacceptable.

The UK Government was under pressure on Saturday to review British aid worth £200 million after an African country staged a widely condemned election.

A former cabinet minister warned against “spraying money around” simply to ensure that Britain kept the United Nations target of spending 0.7 per cent of national income on overseas aid.

The row focuses on Tanzania where the government has been accused of rigging elections on the island of Zanzibar, leading the opposition to boycott the latest poll.

This week, America accused Tanzania’s government of a “pattern of actions” that undermined democracy and cancelled aid worth $472 million (£331 million).

This placed pressure on Britain to do the same, especially in the wake of widespread concern over the use of the aid budget for controversial projects.

But the Foreign Office told the Telegraph there was no decision to reduce Britain’s support for Tanzania even though Zanzibar’s election had not reflected the “will of the people”.

Owen Paterson, the senior Conservative backbencher and former environment secretary, said that DFID should reduce its aid to Tanzania in line with the US decision.

“The Foreign Office says the election is not valid and we’re carrying on spending the money anyway. This cannot be right,” said Mr Paterson.

“The Americans have acknowledged that this cannot be right and have acted – and we should act accordingly.” said Paterson

Kina kitu ambacho hakijaeleweka vizuri hapa. Msaada uliositishwa ni ule ambao UK inachangia kwenye bajeti ya Tz kwa kushirikiana na nchi zingine wafadhili (kwa utaratibu wa multilateral agreements). Misaada inaotolewa moja kwa moja na kusimamiawa na serikali ya UK kwa ajili ya kufadhili miradi (hasa ya kijamii) ndio inayozungumziwa kwenye hii story ya gazeti la Telegraph. Kadhalika, misaada inayotolewa na serikali ya Marekani nje ya utaratibu wa MCC kama inayofadhili miradi ya afya/ukimwi haiyaguswa. Hii inahusisha pia misaada ya moja kwa moja kutoka kwa wafadhili wengine (kwa utaratibu wa bilateral agreements).

JokaKuu nadhani unafahamu mzizi wa tatizo la Zanzibar.

Tatizo la Zanzibar siyo itikadi za kisiasa bali ni ubaguzi lakini vile vile kumbuka hatujaboronga katika uchaguzi huu tu, tumeanza kuboronga siku ambayo tulituma wanajeshi zaidi ya 300 ili kutoa ulinzi kwa Amani Karume na hapo hapo tukaamua kuungana na katika maisha yote ya muungano kabla ya vyama vingi, tumeshuhudia matatizo mengi.

Wakati Tanzania Bara wanaongelea Marais watano, Zanzibar imekuwa na Marais saba.

Nchi za Western zinachofanya ni kutumia matatizo haya kama opportunity katika ku-set agenda zao za kiuchumi ili ziwanufaishe.

Kuna mahojiano yalifanywa na Maalim Seif ambayo ukiyachunguza utaona hali halisi ya matatizo ya Zanzibar. Maalim Seif alinukuliwa akisema,“Kabla Kikwete (Rais Mstaafu Jakaya Kikwete) hajaondoka madarakani, aliniambia kuwa Maalim CCM wanakuogopa, wanajua ukishinda utaweza kuvunja Muungano, lakini nilimwambia, CCM ndio wenye jeshi, wenyewe ndio wenye dola mimi nitavunjaje Muungano’’.

Kama haya maelezo ni kweli basi yanatoa picha kuwa Rais wa Tanzania/Mwenyekiti wa CCM Taifa hana nguvu lilopokuja suala la Zanzibar. Kuna nguvu zaidi ya Rais ambazo zinafanya maamuzi kuhusu hatima ya Zanzibar.

Suala la kujiuliza, kina nani zaidi ya Mwenyekiti wa CCM Taifa na Rais wa Tanzania ndani ya CCM ambao wanaogopa Maalim Seif kuwa Rais wa Zanzibar kwa sababu atavunja Muungano? Au chenye nguvu ni ''Kitengo'' kilichokuwa kinasemwa na Mzee Kingunge ambacho tunaambiwa ndicho kinachofanya hata maamuzi kuhusu mgombea Urais wa CCM.

Kumbuka kwa kiwango kikubwa CCM bado ni chama dola kama ilivyokuwa kwenye siasa za chama kimoja!

Ukweli ni kwamba utoaji wao wa misaada wanakuwa na lengo la kuleta wawekezaji wanakuja kutunyonya. Ivi kweli inaingia akilini mtu anafungua mgodi anatoa 3% kwa serikali. Ni bora ukaingia nae mtu mkataba kuliko ivyo. Wanaofungua migodi Wana pewa kipindi cha kujipanga zaidi ya miaka 3-5 ya kujipanga mwisho wa siku wanadanganya serikali. Ni bora kuweka mkataba. Sasa ivi serikali ina watu wengi wenye uelewa wanachotuzidi awo mataifa ya magharibi ni Technology na vifaa
