PREVENTION and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) is probing allegations on invasion of plot number 1832 in Masaki, Dar es Salaam which is designated to be an open space.

PCCB's Public Relations Officer Doreen Kapwani confirmed that the bureau has started investigations on the disputed plot along Haile Selasie Road, Masaki area in Kinondoni Municipality.

"Our office has received allegations concerning the invasion of the plot," she said adding that it was too early to comment because they were still in the preliminary stages of investigation.

She said PCCB will also make a follow-up on allegations that out of 129 open spaces demarcated for public use, there were only nine remaining open spaces due to rampant occupation of such plots.

The officer further revealed that apart from the plot in question, there were other 10 cases involving land disputes in Muleba, Mtwara, Dodoma, Temeke, Ilala, Kibamba, Tanga and Kilimanjaro.

"The cases in Muleba and Kilimanjaro are already in the courts and the rest are still under investigation," she explained.

In December, the government issued a stop order for any development on the plot until the dispute over ownership is solved.

The spokesman for the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Development, Mrs Ndenyi Ulomi, told the 'Daily News' then that the stop order was given following complaints lodged by some Masaki residents who claimed that the plot was dubiously issued to the current owner.

"We received their grievances on the matter and after going through the records, the Commissioner of Lands decided to bar the developer from developing it until the issue is determined," she said.

Mrs Ulomi said there was controversy surrounding ownership of the plot as some documents showed that the plot was given to one Tanzanian (with title deed) in 1993, while records from the town planning department show the plot was an open space.

She said the Department, according to the town planning drawings, declared the plot open space in 1998.

"This anomaly needs to be straightened first. But if it is found to be so serious then the president can be approached to revoke plot ownership," she said.

Kazi ipo. Kila kona ni rushwa kwa kwenda mbele.Tutaponaje na matatizo kwa mtaji huu?

 

[Kubwajinga]

Ballot box ni njia mojawapo .. lakini kwanza ni pressure group sasa hivi.. kwa mfano.. wabongo wakaenda kuandamana hadi pale na mabango yao na kusema "NO SALE"! ...

Mkuu MMJJ, ....Pressure groups za nini wakati tuna vyama kibao vya siasa vyenye wanachama utitiri wanaosubiri tu amri za nini wafanye? Badala ya kurukaruka tu na helkopta, kwa nini wasishuke chini ardhini, wakashikana mikono na raia kuandamana kupinga malalamiko kibao yaliyopo? Tunawaona tu kwenye vyombo vya habari na kwenye kuomba kula, kwa nini wasianzie hii vita ya kujikomboa mitaani kwa waathirika? Wangekuwa tayari kung'ata risasi kwa ajili ya kuipigania nchi, JK hivi sasa angekuwa anajiandaa kujiuzulu maana madhambi yake na watu wake ni kibao.

This is toooooo much. Eneo hili limekuwa likitumika na wasanii na maharusi kupigia picha. Ni eneo nzuri sana kwa mapumziko. Tamaa za mafisi/mafisadi zitatufikisha pabaya. Tupe list hiyo ya wanunuaji. Je Chiligati anahusika? Kama mkulu ataachia hili lifanyika atajiharibia sana. Inawezakana wanatafuta hela za uchaguzi.Bora wajenge marine parks.

Huyu mama mteuliwa (Janet Mbene) alikuwa upande upi wakati wa sakata alipokuwa M'kiti wa Serikali ya Mtaa huo wa Masaki? Naanza kuhisi ama amepelekwa mjengoni kama njia ya kufungwa mdomo if she was on Adamjee & co's side ama ndo kifuta jasho kwa kufanikisha ukwapuzi wa 'the said open plot'. Yote yawezekana Tizii hii

Badala ya kuongezea aliyotuachia mkoloni tunazidi kubanana humo na kuharibu kile ambacho kilikuwa kivutio(sehemu za kupumzika, miti, sehemu zilizo wazi, low density, ukaribu wa bahari). Kwa ulafi wetu tunamchinja bata anayetutagia mayai ya dhahabu. Na wenye uwezo wa kuzuia wanaangalia tu!

mh mwanakijiji,asante kwa hii taarifa
ukizunguka masaki kuna open space zote zimejengwa na viongozi wakuu wa serikali.
hawa jamaa(viongozi) walichelewa wakakuta viwanja vyote halali vimeshachukuliwa hivyo wakajigawia hizo open space.
nitakupa mfano mmoja tu,kuna nyumba mbili next to BILLIARDS,pale ndio designated bus stop ya masaki na sio jeshini.
kama kweli wako serious na hizo open space wapitie ramani,otherwise hio ni danganya toto tuwaone wapo.

THE disputed land along Masaki Beach in Dar es Salaam has been declared an open space that should be left free for public use.

Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner William Lukuvi today visited the Masaki Beach area and ordered that it should be left for members of the public to visit freely.

"If you put permanent structures in this area, Tanzanians will not have access to the beach for Christmas and wedding celebrations because they won't afford to pay entrance fees," he said.

Mr Lukuvi said that Masaki Beach area was the only remaining open-to-public beach in Dar es Salaam, thus any development must consider public interests.

The RC ordered the National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) to immediately conduct Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) based on public interest views and advise the government accordingly.

"I am glad that NEMC issued a stop order against the development of this area, now I want you to conduct the assessment and advise us on the best way forward, but keeping in mind the President's advice on the use of this area," he noted.

According to Mr Lukuvi, President Jakaya Kikwete asked Kinondoni authorities to beautify the area so that the public can use it comfortably and not to allow private investors who could erect permanent buildings.

Mr Lukuvi who visited the site with NEMC officials and Kinondoni Municipal officials to sort out the matter, was told that out of six private investors, only one company submitted the details of the project they wanted to invest in.

NEMC Director General Mr Boniventure Baya named the company as Century Cinemax which intends to develop part of the area as recreational parks.

The RC ordered the Kinondoni Municipality to inform other investors to submit their project proposals immediately to the NEMC so that assessment can be made and decision taken.

Mr Lukuvi also ordered that privatization of Coco Beach Area should follow the same assessment by NEMC so that informed decisions could be made.

A Masaki resident, Flora Mbugu, told the RC that the residents did not need investors because they had their plans to develop the area including putting pavement for pedestrians and cyclists.

The beach area between Sea Cliff and Golden Tulip hotels which measure 10.37 hectares was apportioned to six local developers, some of whom proceeded to clear the sites without obtaining clearance that their projects are environmentally friendly as required by law.

NEMC issued a stop order a fortnight ago on any development taking place until the developers submit EIA reports for approval by the council.

The firms allowed to develop the area by the Kinondoni Municipal Council are Sea Breeze and Drive In Cinema Ltd, Commodity Traders Ltd, Wellworth Hotel and Lodges, Professional Cleaners, Red & Black Enterprises and Centrally Cinemax to create recreational facilities.
