Kikwete afagia tena ndani ya saa 24, Zamu hii amemng'oa Profesa Yadon Kohi

[Phillemon Mikael]

We unafikiri Tanzania kuna maprofesor wengi, wengine nasikia wakifika nchi za watu huwa wanaomba wasiitwe Maprofesor. Hata huyo Kohi nafikiri alikuwa hivyo hivyo. Wengi ni wanasiasa tu ni applied professors.

We assume mtu ni professor yuko vyuo vikuu hata mwanafunzi wa masters hajaweza kumuelekeza huyo sijui tumuiteje?.

Kwa hali ilivyo nchini Tanzania ni vigumu sana kumpata chief executive ambaye anateuliwa na Rais akawa mtu mzuri.

Mimi ningependekeza suala kama la COSTECH watangaze nafasi ya kazi watu wanaleta CV halafu interview unaita international consutancy kufanyisha interview potelea mbali gharama hila utapata mtu anayeeleweka bila hivi hakuna chochote.

hivi mnajua kwa muundo alioutaka mwalimu ..COSTECH ni sehemu NYETI ya kuleta mapinduzi ya teknelojia,na mara nyingi teknelojia kuna kuibiana..na mambo ya kijasusi...

yaani uite wageni wakuchagulie mwanasayansi...mtu wa kukaa pale pamoja na kuwa mzalendo,inabidi awe vetted ..ndio maana waliona ni rahisi kumuweka mwanasayansi ASKARI..tofautisheni hii na NIMRI ambazo tafiti zake hazilengi kwenye teknelojia zaidi ya afya na utabibu....COSTECH wao wanatakiwa wawe na tafiti hadi za atomic,nuclear,na vitu vingine nyeti nyeti....yaani wanatakiwa wawe na vision,NDIO MAANA VITENGO KAMA HIVI DUNIANI KOTE VINAFADHILIWA NA SERIKALI TU..NA HATA KAMA WANAPEWA MISAADA SI VEMA KUWEKEWA MASHARTI....

TUME YA TEKNELOJIA YA MISRI ILIWEKA VISION MWAKA 1960 YA KUJENGA KINU CHA NYUKLIA BAADA YA MIAKA 50..NA SASA TAYARI WAMETANGAZA KUWA WATAAZA..JE SISI TUNA VISION GANI???....LIBYA WAO SIRI ZAO ZILIVUJA KABLA ,,...NDIO MAANA WAKABANWA....

KWA KIFUPI SUALA LA KUTANGAZA AJIRA YA COSTECH NI GUMU KWA KUWA INATAKIWA KUWA RESTRICTED AREA ...NA WALA INTERVIEW HAIWEZI KUENDESHWA NA WATU WA NJE...LA MUHIMU RAIS ASHAURIWE TU VEMA KUPATA VICHWA ,,NA IKIWEZEKANA NI BORA KUWA NA SUCCESSION PROGRAMME ,,IKIWEZEKANA KUAJIRI WANASAYANSI ,,FRESH FROM COLLEGE NA KUWALEA KATIKA MAZINGIRA YA UTAFITI...SIO WANASAYANSI WANAISHI SINZA .....WAJENGEWE MAZINGIRA TULIVU ..TENA NJE YA MJI ...WAWEKEWE KILA KITU ...

 

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

Phillemon, mimi nadhani kuangalia credentials za kwenye makaratasi peke yake zinatosha kumfanya mtu awe kiongozi mzuri. Hapa tumekosea mara nyingi. Ila hiyo COSTECH nadhani Dr. Bilal mwenye uzoefu wa uongozi na mwanasayansi mahiri ataimudu.

 

[KakindoMaster]

KWA KIFUPI SUALA LA KUTANGAZA AJIRA YA COSTECH NI GUMU KWA KUWA INATAKIWA KUWA RESTRICTED AREA ...NA WALA INTERVIEW HAIWEZI KUENDESHWA NA WATU WA NJE...

Mzee dunia ya sasa iko mbali kuliko unavyofikiria kumpata mtu mwenye uwezo hakuzuii kumpata mtu mwenye utaifa. Kufanyisha interview ni kupata recommendations kwamba huyu mtu anauwezo wa kuongoza organization fulani.

Ebu nitajie research/initiative, Gunduzi za siri zilizofanyika pale COSTECH mpaka sasa.

Mzee hebu tuache siasa tulete watu wa kufanya kazi siyo wana siasa.

NA IKIWEZEKANA NI BORA KUWA NA SUCCESSION PROGRAMME ,,IKIWEZEKANA KUAJIRI WANASAYANSI ,,FRESH FROM COLLEGE NA KUWALEA KATIKA MAZINGIRA YA UTAFITI...SIO WANASAYANSI WANAISHI SINZA .....WAJENGEWE MAZINGIRA TULIVU ..TENA NJE YA MJI ...WAWEKEWE KILA KITU ...

Labda mzee hili la mazingira hilo ndilo muhimu lakini je unafikiri tanzania ya sasa kuna wangapi wanaona umuhimu wa research za gunduzi tanzania mpaka wakawajengee watu sijui sinza?

UGUMU wa kufanya gunduzi ya maana una sura mbili..moja ni mapungufu ya kiuongozi na uwezo wa watafiti..pili na kubwa ni BAJETI NDOGO KUTOKA SERIKALI KUU,SERIKALI CHINI YA WAZIRI WA TEKNELOJIA BW MSOLLA WANAWAPA KIASI GANI AU ASILIMIA NGAPI YA GDP YETU INATUMIKA KUFANYA TAFITI...sasa kama wangekuwa na pesa wangekaa kwenye jengo limechoka vile...ukitembelea nchi nyingine tafiti zinapewa kipau mbele..hata saddam aliogopwa kutokana nakuwa na watafiti ..nchi yoyote inayojali uhai wa taifa lake na inayotekeleza siasa ya kujitegemea kwa vitendo ni lazima itoe kipaumbele kwenye utafiti....

hii vision ya kuwaweka wanasayansi kwenye mazingira tulivu alikuwa nayo mwalimu nyerere ..nakupa mfano..yeye ndie aliyejenga kituo cha utafiti wa magari ya jeshi ..kama ungetembelea kile kituo miaka ile ya 1985..ungependa aliweka mazingira ya hali ya juu ya kazi kwa watafiti kuanzia nyumba furnished ,entertainment halls,maofisi na maabara na karakana....kwenye MAZINGIRA TULIVU NJE YA MJI.

hata baada ya kustaafu aliomba ardhi pale arusha heka 6000 [nje ya nji maeneo ya USA RIVER]..akawa anataka kijengwe kijiji cha kimataifa cha teknelojia ..kitakachokosanya watu wa mataifa yote...idea yake ilikuwa kuwakusanya watoto genious wanao kuwa identified kuanzia umri wa shekechea au kuanza shule..na kuwalea katika mazingira ya utafiti ..na ubunifu ..watoto hawa tunao ambao wanaouwezo wa kurushwa madarasa na kumaliza degree katika umri mdogo sana..na kama wanakuwa under utilized huwa wanajeuka wanaharibika..

je hili wazo la namna hii SERIKALI INALIKUMBUKA....COSTECH KWA NINI HAWAKU LI SPEARHEAD????? HATA KAMA NAO WAMEPITIWA JE TAASISI YA MWALIMU NYERERE INAFANYA NINI KUYAISHI MAWAZO ADIMU YA NYERERE KAMA HILI..KWA KUWA CHACHU YA KUCHOCHEA SERIKALI NA WAFADHILI ILI LITEKELEZWE???

MAANA mtakumbuka hili wazo lilifikia hatua ndefu hadi kwa kuanzia WIZARA YA ELIMU baada ya changamoto ya kuazishwa kijiji hicho wakaamua kuzipa baadhi ya shule za sekondari hadhi ya SHULE ZA WATOTO WENYE VIPAJI MAALUM[THE like,ILBORU,MZUMBE,KILAKALA,ets]....na kwa kuanzia kweli walitoka watoto wembe kweli ..nadhani wengi sasa madaktari,engneers ets ..na hata humu watakuwepo na wanaweza kusema...lakini je?..baada ya hapo tulipiga hatua mbele iliyotakiwa ya kuwakusanya watoto kama hawa kwenye kijiji ambachno kingekuwa na elimu hadi ya chuo kikuu kama alivyotaka mwalimu??

sasa tunapongelea kuyaenzi mawazo ya mwalimu..tutekeleze fikra zake kuhusu maendeleo ya teknelojia nchini na dunia kwa ujumla.

Phillemon:
Ni ugonjwa huo huo unaoendelea kututafuna aTanzania; hata sijui hadi lini. Tabia yetu ni ile ile ya kupanga mambo mazuri sana, kama hili la COSTEC ulilolizungumzia vizuri sana; mradi wa Nyumbu; mipango yote iliyoengenezwa kuanzisha chuo cha madawa pale Muhimbili, ili wahitimu wawe chachu ya kuanzisha viwanda vya kutengeneza madawa; na mipango mingi mizuri sana chungu nzima.
Hadileo hii hakuna hata mmoja tunaoweza kuutolea mfano kuwa umefanikiwa.

Taia yetu hii inatuingiza hasara kbwa kitaifa.

Private sector ndio italeta maendeleo sio hiyo miradi yenye siasa ndani!

Koba:
Kote duniani, kuna miradi ya kitaifa ambayo ni nyeti na serikali ndio msimamizi mkuu. Chukulia NASA kama mfano mmoja wapo. Kule Pakistan, bomu lao ni mradi wa serikali, na yule mkurugenzi alikuwa ni mwajiriwa wa serikali.

Mkuu phillemon mikael

Inaonekana mwalimu Nyerere ndilo jibu, Hivi ni lini tutarudisha au kuwa na watu wenye angalau mwelekeo na fikra za Mwalimu?

Unajua mwalimu amekuwepo/ameongoza kabla wimbi la technologia halijawa kubwa lakini anaonekana bado anatupiga bao je nini kifanyike?

Nikiwa na maana yeye hakuweza kupata mawazo kama yanayopatikana sasa alisoma vitabu tu lakini alionekana na initiative nyingi. Tufanyeje ili tupate watu wenye fikra kama zake?

Lakini vile vile bajeti ya kufanya tafiti za maana ni kubwa muno sijui Msolla na bajeti yake kama kweli analiweza? Wengi wamesema hili lakini pia hakuna aliyeonyesha kuliangalia.

Katika baadhi ya nchi zilizoendelea kama UK, marekani, Sweden pamoja na serikali kuwekeza kutoa kiasi kwa research lakini kiasi kikubwa huwa kinatoka katika private sector, hii iko katika policy za nchi.

Tatizo kubwa la Tanzania hakuna policy katika masuala ya research.

mkuu kalamu ..mara nyingine viongozi wa hizi taasisi zetu za utafiti za serikali wanakata tamaa "an idle mind is a devils workshop"..tusipokuwa makini tutakua tunashangilia tu kila wanapohamishwa bila kujua inside story..serikali imefanyaje kuwawezesha???

kuna mfano umetoa wa hawa nyumbu....tangu mwalimu alipoondoka madarakani mwaka 1985..wamekuwa hawapewi hata senti moja ya utafiti zaidi ya kupelekewa PESA ZA MISHAHARA TU KILA MWEZI...kwa kipindi chote cha awamu ya pili..mkapa kidogo aiwakumbuka ..na hata ukiangalia habari mbali mbali ..aliagiza kila mwaka WAPEWE FUNGU LA KUTENGENEZA MAGARI ANGALAU 20 KWA MWAKA ..NA WAMEKUWA WAKIFANYA HIVYO...SASA SIJUI AWAMU HII KAMA ITAKUWAJE..

Kimsingi ili kuinua ubunifu tunahitaji uamuzi tu wa kiongozi...kama serikali kila mwaka inanunua say magari 1,000 kwa nini RAIS asimuamue kuwa kati ya magari hao 150 yaundwe na kampuni yetu ...na ukiangalia gharama hazitofautiani na hata kama zikiwa kubwa ..hiyo ndio gharama za utafiti...hawa wandugu waliwahi kusema lori lao lina dhamani ya ths 60 milioni..sio gharama ya kutisha ...ukizingatia its our home made brand...tatizo wakubwa hawataki kununua magari yao kwa sababu hawatoi commission....inahitaji maagizo ya rais..

Niwape tano tano wachangiaji katika mada hii ya kuangalia suala la utafiti kwa jicho angavu. Kama mlivyojadili, utafiti ni kitovu cha nchi yoyote ile kimaendeleo, kama huna utafiti wa kutosha si rahisi sana kukabili matatizo anuwai yaliyo katika jamii husika. Kwa Tanzania tuna kitu kinachoitwa TIRDO, (Tanzania Industrial Research Development Organization) Taasisi ya Utafiti katika Viwanda. Nadhani hawa jamaa wakiwezeshwa huenda wakatupeleka mbali sana kimaendeleo, kwani kwa sasa jamaa wana fungu dogo sana kutoka serikalini. Hali kadhalika kuna taasisi nyingine nyingi sana za namna hiyo. Taasisi hizo ni kama (MARTI) Ministry of Agriculture Research and Training Institutes, katika mikoa mbali mbali, kama vile Ukiriguru (Mwanza) Ilonga (Kilosa Morogoro), Uyole na Igurusi (Mbeya)na kadhalika. Hawa jamaa hawana fungu zuri la utafiti, nadhani tuliangalie suala hili kwa mapana sana ili kutatua matatizo husika katika taasisi zetu za utafiti.

Mzee unajua wafadhiri wamekuwa mhimili muhimu katika suala la utafiti nchini Tanzania. Serikali imekuwa ikitoa percentage kidogo sana katika suala hili matokeo yake organization zote zinazofanya utafiti zimekufa kifo cha mende.

Hakuna njia yoyote ile inayoweza kufanya organization yoyote ifanikiwe bila kufanya utafiti. Nchi yoyote Duniani isiyofanya utafiti piga ua haiwezi kuendelea. Fikiria suala tu la technologia hata nchi zetu za kiafrica na Tanzania ikiwemo zimekuwa zikitumia mamilioni ya Shs kununua technologia mbali mbali ambazo ni percentage ndogo wamekuwa wanatumia. Wanaleta solution ambazo zinafaa wamarekani matokeo yake hata na wataaalamu wanaozitumia wanajikuta hawawezi kuzitumia sawasawa.

Nikitoa mfano wa nchi kama south Africa ambayo imejiwekea kufanya tafiti zenye maendeleo ya nchi yake sasa iko mbali unaona kuanzia Universities, organization kama South Africa Engineers zimefika mbali kweli kweli na kuogopwa duniani kwa sababu ya research.

Tanzania tunaogopwa sanasana kwa consultancy ya kuleta solution kutoka nchi za mbali(Uchuluzaji). South Africa wamefikia wakati Gari kutoka Japani ni hapana hauruhusiwi kuliendesha katika nchi yao. Hii ni Country policy lakini pia wanaangalia quality. Ukitaka kuuza magari weka kiwanda tengenezea palepale.

Tukifika Tanzania Nyumbu inakufa na haiwezi fufuka kwa sababu hata wakitengeneza hayo magari watamuuzia nani? Hakuna wenye kuweza kununua gari la nyumbu wakati kuna la kijapani.

Hili aweze kulinunua tunatakiwa kuwa na Country policy ya kulinda tafiti zetu/product zitokanazo na tafiti zetu. Na ikifikia hapo ndipo makampuni kama Nyumbu na nyingine zinazotoa product za aina hiyo zitaweza kujiendesha na kufaidi tafiti zao. Sasa siku hizi ni utandawazi lazima pia tafiti zetu na product zitokanazo na tafiti zetu zilenge International Standard otherwise hazitakuwa na maana.

Lakini nilisha sikia pamoja na kusema suala la utafiti watu wanaosimamia utafiti pale wizarani ni watu ambao hawakupaswa kusimamia vitengo hivyo inawezekana wanaburuzwa. Uwezo wao siyo mkubwa sana.

 

[Mkandara]

IDIMI,
Binafsi nitatofautiana na mawazo yako kuhusu mfuko wa hizi Taasisi za utafiti. Ninaamini kuwa utafiti huanza pale unapokuwa na haja ya ujenzi wa kitu. Tatizo kubwa la Tanzania sio fedha amamfuko mzito na wala siwezi kuamini kuwa hawa jamaa wakipewa mfuko mzuri wataweza kuleta mabadiliko ikiwa hadi sasa sioni wanachokifanya kwa uchache wake zaidi ya kutafuta nafasi za ujazo wa hali zao binafsi ktk ulaji.
Haja ya ku invest ktk viwanda hutokana na uzalishaji, gharama zake zikitanguliwa na soko.. tatizo letu Tanzania tumeshindwa kabisa katika yote haya hata kuliona soko hadi mali zinatoka nje kuingia nchini ndio kwanza tunashtuka!..Kwa msemo wa mtaani hatufikirii chakula hadi tumepata njaa...wakati kula ni wajibu wetu kila siku.
Huo mwanzo tu wa kuanzisha kitu yaani kama tunafikiria usafiri tuanze hata kutengeneza baiskeli kabla hujafikiria kutengeneza gari lakini Bongo mjomba hata baiskeli tunaagiza toka nje itakuwa vipi tuanze kufikiria kupiga marufuku magari... tukisha then what?. Je, sio ndio ya Nyerere na Ujamaa!
nadhani wakati umefika sisi kuweka malengo yetu wazi kwanza, tufahamu dira ya Taifa letu kisha tujenge priority zetu wenyewe ambazo ndizo zinaweza kufanyiwa utafiti kulingana na soko kisha mahitaji yetu, lakini tulivyokuwa wachovu tunafanya utafiti ktk maswala ambayo hatuna uwezo nayo wala hayapo mezani ila tunafikiria ama tumeona wenzetu wakifanikiwa. Kwa mfano, hivi kweli tutaweza vipi kujenga mfumo mzuri wa viwanda ikiwa nchi inashindwa kutazama umuhimu wa Umeme, maji na barabara kabla ya viwanda vyenyewe...Mpuuzi gani atamimina mabillioni ya dollar ktk ujenzi wa kiwanda mahala ambapo hakuna uhakika wa vitu kama vivyo?...
Now, tujiulize hivi ni miaka mingapi sasa hivi imepita hili swala la maji, umeme na barabara limefanyiwa utafiti?...na tumeweza kamilisha mangapi kulingana na dira tuliyoijenga awali!. Almost zero kwani barabara zinajengwa mijini kupamba mji uonekane safi ama Kariakoo kuliko huko vijijini kunakotoka mazao ambayo yanaifanya Kariakoo kuwa famous!..

Naweza sema mengi sana mwisho wa yote nitaonekana nimenuka lakini ukweli bob safari yetu ni ndefu sana na suisidhani kama swala la utafiti lina uzito ikiwa tumeshindwa kujenga priority zetu.

[watu wewe]

Huyu mama anafaa kufanya kazi TFNC na siyo kamisheni ya Science & Technology .... jamani food science??!!

 

[Quemu]

Huyu mama anafaa kufanya kazi TFNC na siyo kamisheni ya Science & Technology .... jamani food science??!!

Kama unge spend a little bit of you time kusoma at least 3/4 ya CV yote, pengine ungekuwa na mawazo tofauti na uliyo yachangia...

 

[MzalendoHalisi]

Quickmover,
1. Hii CV imekaa vizuri! Tz unajua tuna wanasayansi wenye uwezo na vichwa- sema tu saa ingine huwa hawapewi fursa na wengine wenye CV ndogo hupewa as they are connected na wanasiasa !

2. Kwa maoni yangu based on her CV na utumishi wa mda mrefu...na kwa kuwa basi pia ni mwanamke aliyepanda ngazi kutokana na merits...na kwa kuwa Board ya COSTECH tayari imemteau Ag. DG- naomba kupendekeza... kwa unyenyekevu na heshima...Mheshimiwa Raisi kumuidhinisha huyu mama na kumfanya awe Mkunrugenzi Mkuu wa COSTECH.

Naomba kutoa hoja!

 

[KakindoMaster]

Katika CV yake maandiko yaliyomengi ni first author kwahiyo hakubebwa na ana uwezo mzuri tu. Pamoja na kuwa amebobea katika food, lakini kulingana na ngazi ambazo ameisha zifanya ndani nje ya costech ni maoni yangu kuwa ana kila sifa za kuwa Mkurugenzi mkuu wa Costech. Unless kuna kuja mtu mwingine mwenye uzoefu zaidi yake lakini kama siyo hivyo nina uhakika na exposure yake katika research ambao ndio muhimili wa costech anafaa.

 

[Quemu]

Mzalendohalisi,
Kama kuna kitu kitasababisha ashindwe kufanya vizuri COSTECH as a DG, basi ni siasa kuingilia wajibu wake. Huyu mama hajui hata ku spell neno 'siasa'. Lakini kama akipewa nafasi afanye kazi, basi anaweza ku turn around mazingira ya COSTECH ya sasa hivi. There is no doubt about that....
