I didn't want to write about this again; But Mr. President c'mmon!

[Ndibalema]

Hilo ni pembeni ya suala la sera. Watanzania mnapenda kupewa maneno matamu ya kuwaambia "tutaanzisha mchakato" au "serikali iko mbioni". kwa upande wangu nadokeza tu kuwa kama watu ninaowaunga mkkono wataingia madarakani kuna vitu vya kwanza ambavyo vitatakiwa kufanya. Na kubwa ni kuwatia pingu na kuwafungulia mashtaka baadhi ya viongozi na wengine wenye kuenjoy sijui immunity watavuliwa. HIli lisiwe na utata. Sasa linaweza lisiwe zuri kujulikana lakini litawekwa kwenye sera mapema na kwenye ilani ya uchaguzi. Watanzania watatakiwa kuwachagua wagombea wetu kwa misingi hiyo.

Sasa kama mnataka kuendelea na kamati za uchunguzi na tume za Rais.. endeleeni na CCM.. au chama kingine cha upinzani. Tunajua kwanini wanaogopa kukipa CCJ usajili wa kudumu but the train has already left the station..

Hivi ni nani mwenye mamlaka ya kuwavua imunity?
CCJ ikishaingia madarakani haiwezi kuwavua immunity? na kama inawezekana ningependekeza na hilo liwekwe kwenye sera mapema.

Mwanakijiji hukiamini chama kingine chochote cha upinzani zaidi ya CCJ? kwa nini?

 

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

Hivi ni nani mwenye mamlaka ya kuwavua imunity?

Wananchi kupitia wawakilishi wao. Kumbuka madaraka ya kutawala yanatoka na yanabakia kwa wananchi. Bunge likiamua kuwavua kinga linaweza.

CCJ ikishaingia madarakani haiwezi kuwavua immunity? na kama inawezekana ningependekeza na hilo liwekwe kwenye sera mapema.

Mbona nimeshasema litakuwepo. Watanzania watajua mapema tu nini CCJ itasimamia. Sasa hivi watu wanachogombana nacho ni jina tu na mystery behind CCJ.. zikianza kumwagwa sera the line of separation will be clearly drawn on the sand.

Mwanakijiji hukiamini chama kingine chochote cha upinzani zaidi ya CCJ? kwa nini?

Naviamini sana tu.. tena vyote. Tatizo naamini Tanzania zaidi.

My Take: This is the forth year, the same bunch of failed leaders at HESLB, working the same way, giving the same excuses, protected by the same government and harming the same students! But, we are expecting different results! are we so incapable of solving even the most easier problems? Do you really the problem is money? Just like ATCL, just like Tanesco, just like UDOM, just like....

Mzee, ni sawa na kumpigia mbuzi gitaa!! Hawaambiliki hawa.

Marekani walisambaratisha serikali yoote ya Sadam. Walitia pingu kila waziri pale, wakaanzisha mahakama zikawanyonga wengi wao, amini nakwambia, Iraq hakukaliki tena.

Daily News

ABOUT 70,000 students are likely to miss examinations or expelled from universities as the Higher Education Students Loan Board (HESLB) has run out of funds to finance tuition fees and field allowances.

Sources told the 'Daily News' that the government in 2009/2010 was supposed to give the loans board 189bn/- but had so far disbured only half of the amount which covered food and accommodation, while funds for tuition and field allowances are yet to be released.

"The amount was disbursed when the universities opened last October and the funds used for food and accommodation. The balance has not been disbursed," the source said.

The sources expressed fear that delay in disbursement of the remaining amount might create crisis as some universities are about to start examinations. Information had it that already some universities have cautioned their students that they would not be allowed to sit for the examinations until the monies are paid.

"We have everything ready on paper in terms of written cheques, but cannot do anything with them because there is no money in our account," the board's Assistant Director for Information, Communication and Education, Mr Cosmas Mwaisobwa, confirmed to the 'Daily News' yesterday.

Mr Mwaisobwa said that the government usually provides the board with money in lumpsum but it had not yet done so, adding that however the board was ready to receive any amount this time.

He explained that the board depended wholly on the government to facilitate loans for tuition, accommodation, food and field allowances to students in higher learning institutions.

The Minister for Finance and Economic Affairs, Mr Mustafa Mkulo, said his ministry does not issue loans directly to the board and instead channels it through the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MEVT).

Efforts to reach the Minister for Education and Vocational Training, Professor Jumanne Maghembe and his deputy, Ms Gaudensia Kabaka by phone proved futile.

Last year 197.3bn/- was requested from the government to cater for only 65,000 students (continuing and new first years) in the next academic year.

During the academic year (2008/09), HESLB had requested 140.3bn/- but only 117bn/- was approved by the government forcing St Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT) to admit only 950 from 6,000 students who had applied.

Dar es Salaam University admitted 5,380 instead of 6,500 who applied, while Bugando University College of Health Sciences admitted 60 students against more than 100 applicants. And only 350 students were sponsored at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS).

My Take:
This is the forth year, the same bunch of failed leaders at HESLB, working the same way, giving the same excuses, protected by the same government and harming the same students! But, we are expecting different results! are we so incapable of solving even the most easier problems? Do you really the problem is money?

Ngoja CCJ ije.. tutawatia pingu wote!

Mwanakijiji;

umeshare a very good topic na ni kweli hii ni concern kubwa sana especially kwamba hawa vijana ndio taifa la leo! halafu cha kusikitisha utaona hao mabosi wa bodi ya mikopo wako kwenye magari ya kifahari wanaingia ofisini na kutoka kama vile ni watu wa maana, swali
hivi unadhani hata angewekwa nani pale, kwa mtindo huu wa serikali kungekua na mabadiliko?
Hivi wewe unajua priorities kuu tatu za serikali kwa sasa?
je ya mikopo ya elimu ipo?

ANGALIZO KWAKO: UMELETA MADA NZURI, HALAFU UMEICHAFUA KWA KUWEKA SIASA, HAIKUA NA ULAZIMA MKUU

 

[Kinyambiss]

All that is happening is Kikwete beginning to see the effects of his patronage. Ukweli ni kwamba sera ya'Maswahiba kwanza" ndio inayomtokea puani.

 

[Ronaldinho]

Kama alivyosema de novo hapo juu hakukuwa na ulazima wa moja kwa moja kuihusisha mada na CCJ kwa chini,but its quite annoying to see things how they are,hili tatizo limekuwapo toka kuanzishwa kwa hii bodi,sina hakika sana ni kitu gani walioiunda walifikiri ama kuwaza lakini kwa mtazamo wangu inahitaji restructuring na kutengwa na siasa

 

[GY]

Marekani walisambaratisha serikali yoote ya Sadam. Walitia pingu kila waziri pale, wakaanzisha mahakama zikawanyonga wengi wao, amini nakwambia, Iraq hakukaliki tena.

Marekani....sio waIraq...that make a huge difference!

 

[magee]

do you really the problem is money?

money is not the problem at all......it is the whole system that is messed up,the whole belief that the government does it all........hey its high time ton stop believing this,the only truth is government has nothing to give us rather than they taking from us........its high time sisikama wananchi kuforce mabadiliko ya sera ili kuleta usawa kwenye kila sekta ili kila mzazi aweze kuafford kulipa ada ya mtoto wake.
It is unjust kuzaa watoto na kutegemea serikali ikusomeshee,vijana waleo tulete mabadiliko,we can have better schools,better education only if we empower ourselves........
Wake up...........

ngoja ccj ije.. Tutawatia pingu wote!

kuwatia pingu sio suluhisho....we need ccj kuhakikisha inakuja na sera mbadala,ije na sera zitakazo leta uwiano chanya,uhuru wa mawazo,utakao value ones freedom,utakao rudisha mara saba vile ambavyo wazandiki wameiba.......
That is what we need

 

[Albedo]

Sio hayo tu Mwanakijiji kuna mengine mengi,mwaka huu kama mtu hakujiandikisha kwenye daftrai la kupiga kura (hana kadi ya mpiga kura hata paata mkopo kwa kuwa fomu yao ya inataka lazima awe na kitambulisho hicho..

Huu ni uonevu kwa kuwa kuna wanafunzi hawakujiandikisha kwa kuwa walikuwa shuleni na probably shule zao hazikuwapa fursa za kwenda kujiandikisha kuna mifano mingi tu ya wanafunzi ambao hawajajiandikisha kwa kuwa wamechelewa

zoezi hilo..Pia wapo ambao wamepoteza kadi hizo..Wanahitaji kitambulisho hicho tu na sio kingine chochote kama ilivyo kuwa kwa miaka ya nyuma...This is rediculous,ni kuvunja kabisa demokrasia na kunyima watu haki zao za elimu kwa sababu za kipuuzi kabisa.

Kwanza kujiandikisha kupiga kura na suala la hiyari na sio lazima..

Mkuu GS Mimi nina ndugu yangu amemaliza form six mwaka huu ana miaka 17, ina maana hawezi kumiliki hicho kitambulisho. Does it mean kwamba Mambo ya Mkopo yeye asijihangaishe kwa maana hana kitambulisho cha Mpiga kura si kwa kupenda bali Umri wake haumruhusu

 

[Ngambo Ngali]

Hivi bongo hatuna wanasheria wanaotafuta lawsuits against serikali? Au ndiyo hivyo mfumo wetu hauruhusu kabisa kitu kama hicho? Maana wananifanya nitamani kuwa mwanasheria niwe bongo, niisue serikali mihela kibao, halafu kesho keshokutwa wakija kuwa na uamuzi kama huu wa kufanya wanaweza kutia akili.

Tatizo kubwa Tanzania ni uelewa duni wa waliopo madarakani, nadhani wanataka kitambulisho cha kujiandisha kupiga kura kama proof ya uraia wa Tanzania na hii ni sababu ya watu waliopo madarakani ni mechanical and dull minded. Sio lazima mtu awe na kadi ya kupiga kura ili uthibishe uraia wake. Kuna namna nyingi tu za kufanya hivyo eg cheti cha kuzaliwa, passport, affidavit regardnig birth etc.

Cha Msingi kujiuliza ni kwa nini mpaka sasa issue ya vitambulisho vya uraia havitolewi???? Sheria yake ilitungwa as far back 1986 toka wakati huo ipo kwenye vitabu na haifanyi kazi lets ask ourselves why. Kutokuwa na identity kwa watanzania ni mtaji mkubwa sana kwa chama tawala wanafanya makusudi hakuna kingine, ndo maana figures za tanzania will never match, they are all cooked left ,right and centre.

watu wanakwenda mahakamani lakini speed ya mahakamani tanzania by the time judgement inatoka basi wenzio waliofanya vinginevyo wana Phd, inanikumbusha kuna mwaka watoto wa geen acre school, form six, walifutiwa mitihani, wazazi walienda mahakamani kupinga hatua hiyo at the same time wazazi waliamua parralel remedies na kupeleka watoto shule nyingine wakafanya mtihani after a year. Cha kuchekesha wale watoto wamemaliza vyuo vikuu na kesi bado ipo mahakamani inasuasua.

Yoyote anayejua mahakama za Tanzania atakuambia sio mahali pa kupata haki mapema. Halafu judicial activism imelala na au hakuna kabisa.

 

[Tuandamane]

Huyu bwana si alisema akimpa Mgaya hela watanzania milioni 39 watakosa huduma, sasa mbona inaonekana hakuna mtanzania anayemhudumia maana kila mtanzania hana anachopewa?

Cha kushangaza ni pale pamoja na hayo unawakuta wakina mwanafalsafa wamepigwa mabango ya kuchangia CCM, hivi ni hizo shilingi mbili za juzi za malaria no more? Mbona sio za CCM hizo hamumuhitaji huyo kupiga mzika jamani hebu tutokeni huku kwenye upumbavu, hata sijui tusemeje mungu wangu watanzania hatuna masikio kweli kweli.

unafikiri hawasikii au hawaelewi?? utaanzia wapi kubisha na kuongea hadharani.. umesikia JK wakati anaongelea habari ya mbayuwayu kesha sema wazi 'nguvu' ingetumika na huyo Mgaha 'atapotea na kusahaulika kabisa' ukiwa na hasira utaongea yote ya moyoni, utajuta badae, mimi sikuile nilisoma mawazo na moyo wa JK.. kutamka kuwa hataki kura za kina mbayuwayu inamaana kubwa sana, I can even write a book on only that sentece, kwa CCM umaskini wetu ndio mtaji wao.. watakimbilia wapi...???

• ni tanzania pekee ambapo waziri mkuu atasema hata kwa kisu sitarema habari ya epa?? meremeta au kiwira kama sikosei...
• nitanzania pekee ambapo raisi wa nchi anaetegemea kuomba kura atasema sitaki kura zenu
• ni tanzani apekee ambapo raisi wanchi anatangazia wananchi wake kuwa mkibisha risari za moto zitawamiminikia
• ni tanzania pekee ambako rahsi wanchi anathubutu kunyamaza swala lililo hadharani kuhusu kiongozi mpegania rusha (HOSEA) anapotoa report ya uong kuhusu Richmond
• ni tanzania pekee ambapo raisi wake anasema yeye na mtuhumiwa mwizi wa hela za wananchi kuwa nirafiki yake na ametoka nae mbali
• ni tanzania pekee ambapo raisi anamtetea raisi mwizi wa awamu iliopita na kusema kuwa aachwe apumzike huku maswali mengine yakiwa left unanswered
• ni tanzania pekee................

Mwanakijiji hivi unafikiri kufumgua mashitaka ndio ufumbuzi wa matatizo ya wananchi?kuna kesi ngapi mahakamani?,Mtikila maefungua na kushinda kesi ngapi?ni viongozi wangapi walioshitakiwa na kesi zao ziko Mahakamani...Does this end problem of Tanzanians?Hivi mzizi hasa ni huu?

Habari ndio hii Ndege ya Uchumi....Hawahitaji kitambulisho kingine zaidi ya hicho cha mpiga kura,my young sister imehangaika hivi sasa anasubiri kwenda kujiandikisha kwenye zoezi la marudio hapa Dar,hakupata fursa ya kujiandikisha alipokuwa shuleni kwani alikuwa anasoma boarding..Hii nchi bwana ina mambo sana...

 

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

The Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs has said the Higher Education Students Loan Board (HESLB) has not run out of money since budget allocation of funds shows the money is still there.
Permanent secretary (PS) Ramadhani Khijjah, who is also the treasurer, told reporters when responding to a question regarding the matter in Dar es Salaam yesterday.
He said the problem was a lack of communication between the board and responsible ministries.
Already over 70,000 students are worried of missing examinations because of lack of funds to finance their tuition fees and other allowances.
"We allocated the funds for the board in our budget and the money is there. May be the problem is due to a lack of proper communication between the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, my ministry and the students themselves and the board. But we are sure that the money is there," Khijjah said.
However, reports said the government had not issued the required amount of loans and that it planned to give out 189bn /- in its 2009/10 financial budget but had issued only half of it.
It was learnt that half of the amount was disbursed when universities opened last October and the funds were used for food and accommodation.
Board Assistant Director for Information, Communication and Education Cosmas Mwaisobwa was quoted as saying that everything was ready on paper in terms of written cheques but could not be issued because there was no money in the account.
When contacted for comment, the Minister for Finance and Economic Affairs, Mustafa Mkulo, noted that his ministry channelled loans through the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (Mevt).
He said his ministry did not issue the loans directly to the loans board.
The controversy over lack of funds in the board comes as new students register for admission in the universities.
The majority of Form Six leavers, who passed in their last national examinations and qualified for admission into the universities, have already started filling application forms for the loans.
Mwaisobwa was once quoted saying between 1994 and 2005, the government issued about 51.1bn/- for 113,240 students with funding to finance different courses at the undergraduate level. During the academic year (2008/09), HESLB had requested 140.3bn/- but only 117bn/- was approved by the government forcing St Augustine University of Tanzania (Saut) to admit only 950 from 6,000 students who had applied.
Dar es Salaam University admitted 5,380 instead of 6,500 who applied, while Bugando University College of Health Sciences admitted 60 students against over 100 applicants. Only 350 students were sponsored at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (Muhas).

Watawala wetu hawaoni umuhimu huo hata kidogo kwani watoto na wajomba zao wanasoma nje ya nchi.
Sikutegemea kusikia kuwa Mizengo Pinda anayejiita mtoto wa mkulima kwenda kutibiwa London - United Kingdom wakati mahospitali yetu hapa nyumbani yanaoza kwa ajili ya uzembe wao. CCJ ni tegemeo la kila mtanzania anayeipenda Tanzania.

With this situation yet president Kikwete is joking by promising that all secondary schools' students will have personal computers each. But may be it's possible.....what about the 50bn shs. for CCM's election campaign?
