Mkapa above the law?: Allegations

Masatu,
kwa nini usizungumze yaliyopo kichwani mwako?.. wewe unachotazama ni hisia zangu mimi sema kinachokukuna wewe.
Upeo finyu unaotokana na mipasho ni tusi la nguoni kwangu mimi! Na nafahamu unakotoka kwa hiyo don't even try!
Nakuomba yaishie hapa laa sivyo mjomba utakuwa unatafuta mengine!..Na kama hufahamu maana ya tusi la nguoni nipo radhi kukueleza pia maanake hakuna tafsiri yake ktk kamusi!
Simtishi mtu hapa ila najaribu turudi kukata ishu zilizopo ubaoni, pili naokuomba sana jaribu kukubali kukosolewa kwani haikupunguzii upeo wako.
 
Mkuu sasa hapo tushike lipi au ndio usanii at its best.....

Mambo ya flip flopping, only in JF!

mambo yote uliyoyasema mkuu kuwa Mkapa ameyafanya kwa Tanzania, hayana tofauti kubwa sana na Clinton aliyoyafanya US,

Yaaani mkuu Masatu, mimi ninakuaminia kuwa umeeenda shule, sasa huelewi kuwa Clinton na Mkapa, ni moja ya marais waliowahi kukamatwa wakitenda dhambi nzito kwa mataifa yao? Yaaani nalo hili ninahitaji kukufafanulia?

Mkuu kumlinganisha Mkapa na Clinton, ni matusi makubwa kama sio usaniii,
Maana mmoja ni FISADI na Mwizi, na mwingine ni mzinzi, talking about Flopping nafikiri ni very clear who is a Flopper hapa na msanii! Kati ya mwizi na mzinzi!


By the way ninasubiri when utakapokuwa ready kukata ishu za rekodi za mstaafu wetu, halafu for the record and on a serious note, hii chini ndio haswa a record ya rais anayefaaa kukumbukwa na taifa lolote lililostaarabika duniani sio wizi tuuuu!:-


The debt repayment is a key part of the economic reform plan of President Olusegun Obasanjo, who is also planning a string of privatisations, tax reform, and greater transparency in order to boost the economy and attract foreign investors.
Nigeria has already been removed from an international credit blacklist, and now has credit ratings similar to other emerging market countries such as Turkey and Ukraine. That means the government is now able to borrow money on international capital markets on favourable terms.

Different from HIPC

Nigeria has followed a different path from other African countries who have been burdened with debt.
It was not included in the list of highly indebted poor countries (HIPC) that were eligible for 100% debt relief from official lenders, the IMF, and the World Bank, due to its oil wealth. However, those countries have been subject to stringent conditions and long delays before they qualified for debt relief.
Nigeria has been able to negotiate its own debt deal at its own pace because it has the funds to partially pay off its creditors, who were happy to accept a smaller overall payment in return for cash upfront.
 
Abuse of office: Mkapa comes under the hammer

THISDAY REPORTER
Dar es Salaam

A GROUP of University of Dar es Salaam dons has openly criticised former president Benjamin Mkapa and his alleged private business dealings at State House, stating categorically that such actions amounted to abuse of office and were a betrayal of the legacy of Mwalimu Julius Nyerere.

It was asserted that while it was the late Father of the Nation who indeed had a ’hand’ in getting Mkapa into Ikulu, the third phase president then went ahead and actively trashed Nyerere’s own stated belief in the highest office in the land as a sacrosanct institution.

Speaking on this week’s Jenerali On Monday television talk show aired by Channel Ten, Professor Mwesiga Baregu, Dr Abunuasi Mwamu and Dr Adolph Mkenda of UDSM were in collective consensus that leadership ethics appear to be lacking in modern-day local politics.

The programme, hosted by respected veteran journalist Jenerali Ulimwengu, discussed Mwalimu Nyerere’s legacy in the run-up to the commemoration of the eighth anniversary of his 1999 demise this coming Sunday.

’’We all remember that it was Mwalimu who practically endorsed Mkapa in the 1995 presidential election. However, he (Mkapa) clearly failed to follow in Mwalimu’s footsteps while at Ikulu,’’ said Prof. Baregu.

He continued: ’’We also all recall Mwalimu asking aspirants for the presidency if there was any (private) business advantage to be found at Ikulu. But this man (Mkapa) actually went there and did his private business openly.’’

According to Prof. Baregu, such actions amounting to abuse of the presidency had set a bad precedence for other politicians.

He noted that the country’s public leadership ethics law and other legislations are categorical regarding what type of actions constitute an abuse of public office.

’’Just the other day, we learnt that a minister in the current government actually owns a gemstone mine. This gives us the impression that we probably have a cabinet full of ministers who are inspired by money and personal wealth,’’ said Prof. Baregu.

Also apparently referring to Mkapa, Dr. Mkenda questioned how a sitting president could use his office to ensure a company formed by himself along with one of his senior ministers (Daniel Yona) could end up buying the state-run Kiwira coal mine.

On his part, Dr. Mwami asserted that ’economic patriotism’ was vividly lacking in Tanzania, where the few people willing to fight for the rights of the poor and downtrodden are regularly dismissed as mere ’radicals.’

The UDSM dons were in agreement that the fourth phase government under President Kikwete needed to make some ’hard decisions’ soon to avoid further loss of confidence amongst the wananchi who overwhelmingly voted it into power in 2005.

In one of his questions, show host Ulimwengu asked the panellists to discuss the ethical considerations involved where national leaders have personal business interests and shares in private companies.

Noting that some prominent such leaders in the country have been found to have actually entered into private business during their tenure in public office, the show host queried how they (the leaders) can balance national and personal interests, especially on the financial front, in such circumstances.

’’In other countries, once a businessman enters into government, he relinquishes his business interests. But here at home, we see people who have hitherto never even owned a simple kiosk, engage themselves in big (private) business immediately after coming into power,’’ said Ulimwengu.

Investigations by THISDAY have already uncovered that as sitting president in 1999, Mkapa and first lady Anna Mkapa registered their own private company, ANBEM Limited, listing themselves as sole shareholders and company directors.

Two years later, Mkapa and his then minister responsible for energy and mineral affairs, Daniel Yona, are understood to have put their heads together and registered another company, TANPOWER Resources, with various close family members listed as shareholders and directors.

TANPOWER Resources later went on to purchase the state-run Kiwira coal mine, which in turn eventually entered into a huge, $271.8m (approx. 340bn/-) deal for a coal-fired power project with the still state-owned Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (TANESCO).
 
Huyu jamaa alisema "Watanzania ni wavivu wa kufikiri" .If this guy will be allowed to get away with it, he will say "see?. I said wavivu wa kufikiri, sasa naona ni wajinga na wavivu wa ku-act". Tusubiri.
 
Hapo chacha...
mi chichemi chana kwani Che Nkapa alichachema kuwa watanjania tuna wivu, na kuwa chichi ni wavivu wa kufikili,chacha inawejekana ata Mwalimu Nyelele alikuwa nvivu wa kufikili ndo chababu alichindwa kufanya biachala Ikulu na ndo chababu Che Nkapa akaamua kuonecha kwa vitendo namna ya kuwa njachiliamali mpaka kwenye ofichi kubwa kabicha nchini...lakini nani atangucha huyu njachiliamali wetu aliyejiujia ule nkaa wa mawe kule Kiwila na kufungua ANBEN Ikulu?Anko Ochea tayali kankimbia kabichaaaaa...
 

Mkandara, Nasisitiza kusema kuwa una upeo finyu sio tusi la nguoni na I am making ni apology kwa kusema hivyo, infact given a chance nitatumia msemo huo tena na tena.

Hili la vitisho vya "yaishie hapa laa sivyo nitakuwa natafuta mengine" ni mkwara mbuzi hapa JF kauli mbiu yetu ni "we dare to talk openly" sasa kama una hayo mengine yamwage hapa ndio kumkoma nyani giladi kwenyewe huko.

Kwamba sikubali kukosolewa si kweli, nipo tayari kwa hilo iwapo tu ni kweli nimekosea, nimeleta tafsiri ya neno Fisadi kwa mujibu wa kamusi ya kiswahili badala yake wewe umeleta tafsiri ya kwako kutoka ktk wimbo wa taarab "fisadi kiwembe" halafu unalazimisha nikubali, mkuu kama kukosoana kwenyewe ndio huko basi we still have a long way to go....

ES,

Mimi sijamlinganisha Mkapa na Clinton bali wewe ndiye uliefanya hivyo! Nilichofanya mimi ni kuweka ur two contradictory statements na kuomba ufafanuzi ipi ni sahihi, or rather to be more precisely wapi ulikuwa unasema kweli na wapi ulikuwa husemi kweli.
 
Na inashangaza sana kwamba Kikwete anasema kuwa hawezi kumchunguza Mkapa. Kuna nini kinafichwa hapa? Ama na yeye anataka kunajisi Ikulu ili asichunguzwe na watakaompokea madaraka?
Naomba Ufafanuzi wana JF
 
Wote mafisadi tu; Hakuna msafi katika kundi hilo hata mmoja waote wamejaa ukwasi wa wizi na ubadhirifu wa mali ya umma, na wanadhani ni wajanja! ............Ni kweli binadamu tumeumbwa na tamaa, lakini ni wajibu wetu kujiepusha na hizo tamaa ili kulinda heshima yetu mbele ya umma unaotuzunguka.Sasa mtu kama BWM alikuwa na sababu gani ya kujiingiza katika uchafu huo ambao sasa si tu kwamba unmpunguzia hadhi lakini unamfanya hata rekodi yake nzuri ya utendaji wa miaka kumi, ionekane sifuri!

Kinachozungumzwa hapa ni kuwa viongozi wa nchi, hawapaswi kujihusisha na biashara. Wana JF, kamwe hawasemi Baregu na Jenerali ni watu safi. Hata kama Baregu na Jenerali wangelikuwemo kwenye serikali na wakati huo huo wanafanya biashara wangepewa vidonge vyao. Hoja ya msingi hapa ni kwamba unapokuwa kiongozi mwenye dhamana kubwa ya kuliongoza taifa hupaswi kujiingiza katika mambo ya biashara. At one time, the conflict of interest would be inevitable. Huwezi kutumikia mabwana wawili na kuwatimizia haja zao kwa wakati mmoja!

Kuwa nje ya ofisi si sababu ya kuwafanya watanzania waache kuhoji na kutaka kujua kwa nini huyu BEN aliwasaliti wananchi wake kwa kiasi hicho??? Watu wanaendelea kutaabika na maisha wakati adui yao mkubwa wameshamfahamu. Watanzania wanahitaji mikakati mipya ya kupambana na uchafu wa zamani na unaondelea hivi sasa serikalini. Tunahitaji kuondoa kipengele kinachomlinda raisi mstaafu kutoshtakiwa mahakani, pindi inapobainika ametumia madaraka kujilimbikizia mali.

Nadhani wewe ndio unapayuka hapa. Wakati umefika sasa wananchi wanaelezwa bayana kwamba umaskini wao si wa kuzaliwa nao. Kuna baadhi ya watu wanachangia kuendeleza umaskini japokuwa wanatudanganya kuwa wao ndio vinara wa kupinga umaskini. Mkapa ni mmoja wapo. Utajiri aliojikusanyia ungeweza kujenga shule mpya zaidi ya 20. Hospitali zetu zingekuwa na vitanda vya kutosha. Hii ndio message kuu. Si kupayuka kama ulivyodai hapo juu.

Luninga, warsha, semina, makongamano, midahalo ndio mahali pake hasa. Wakati umefika sasa!! Wananchi wanapaswa kuelimishwa kwa kila njia kuwa adui yao mkubwa sio ujinga, umaskini na maradhi. Haya ni matokeo tu ya adui mkubwa--uongozi wa mafisadi.

Baregu ni msomi mahiri na professa anayehishimika katika fani yake. Anachofanya ni moja ya kazi yake. Kutufundisha wananchi kuwa viongozi wetu ni mafisadi. Hawa ndio maadui zetu wakubwa wanaoturudisha kwenye stone age.
 

Hmmm! Mtetezi wa mafisadi na wala rushwa! dawa yenu iko jikoni.
 

Mkuu Masatu,

Ni ndugu mmoja huko nyuma niliyekuwa ninamjibu aliyemfananisha Clinton na Mkapa, nikasema na ninarudia kuwa ni kweli wanafanana sana waliyoyafanya, meaning maovu kwa mataifa yao, lakini ya Clinton yanavumilika, kuliko ya huyo mwingine,

Anyway, heshima mbele na good debate, keep it up na msimamo imara wa kusimamia hoja, au unachokiamini, maana tunawahatiji sana hapa JF, wenye misimamo kama yako!
 
Masatu,
Sawa mkuu unajua ktk maisha watu wote ambao hutumia kamusi huwa ndio wenye upeo mdogo kwani kamusi hutumika tu pale unaposhindwa kuelewa maana.
Neno FISADI tunalitumia kila siku ktk maisha yetu hata kama kamusi haipo ndio maana nikasema hata mtoto mdogo asojua kusoma anafahamu maana ya nenoi hili. Ukiwa hujui kusoma ina maana bado unaweza kutoa tafsiri ya neno hili bila kamusi.
Pili, sikuipata tafsiri ya neno hili ktk Taarabu ila nimekupeleka wewe upate kujua matumizi ya neno hili.. kwa sababu ulidai ushahidi.. sasa huo ushahidi niutoe wapi?..ndio maana nikasema hapa nilipo siwezi hata kutoa ushahidi wa jinsia yako kwani hili sii jambo naloweza kuwa nalo mkononi na wala haihusiani kabisa na hoja. Kisha mjomba maana ya neno na matumizi ya neno ni vitu viwili tofauti!.. ijue lugha yako.
Kiswahili lugha nyepesi sana isipokuwa tunaweza kujichanganya sisi wenyewe. Fisadi ni character inayotokana na neno la kiarabu Fasad... na kweli ina maana nyingi lakini maana zote zinahusu mtu mbaya mharibifu na kamwe haiwezi kuhusiana na Kutongoza unless mwandishi alikuwa akizungumzia kuhadi kuwa ni fisadi nayo pia bado haileti matumizi mazuri ya neno hili.
Nimemaliza...
 
Kinachozungumzwa hapa ni kuwa viongozi wa nchi, hawapaswi kujihusisha na biashara. Wana JF, kamwe hawasemi Baregu na Jenerali ni watu safi.

Mkuu Bubu, ahsante kwa ujumbe huu!
 
Natamani waliokuwa wanampinga Nyerere(marhumu) na kutangulia mbele za haki kabla yake, wangefufuka na kutupa maoni yao......hiyo nchi ni kama treni la mizigo lililoacha njia kwenye mteremko mkali!!. Mie yangu macho, ipo siku yatawatokea puani hayo mauchafu yao.....
 
Jamani nauliza katiba ya Tanzania inamlinda rahisi kutofunguliwa mashitaka? If so there is nothing we can do.
poor Tanzanian
 
Mimi swali ninalojiuliza ni kwa nini Rais Mkapa ajibu hizi tuhuma mabazo zimekuwa zikizungumziwa kwa muda mrefu sasa juu yake.Rais Mkapa hajui ya kuwa kuendelea kuruhusu watu wazungumzie kuhusu jambo fulani kwa muda mrefu bila ya kupata habari toka upande wa pili itafika sehemu wataamini kile wanachoambiwa.
 

Mkuu wangu Rufiji,

Mstaafu in private, anataka sana kujibu na haswa mkewe, lakini washauri wake uchwara ndio wanamakataza, lakini naaamini kuwa somehow ni lazima itabidi ajibu tu kwa mwwendo huu wa sasa amabao kwa kweli ni mdundo!
