Press Release: Ukweli Kuhusu Loliondo

[Manyi]

DAh hii kweli kali, eti wamasai wanaishi Illegally huko Loliondo. Mimi nafikiri hoja ya maana ni kuzingatia maliasili na kutafuta njia mbadala za kuwaweka watu hawa, vinginevyo ni blah blah tu alizoweka hapa kwa kizungu!

 

[Ork]

Sheria anayotumia Wazari ni mpya halafu itakuwaaje inenda RETROSPECTIVE?vijiji vote vilivyopo pale Loliondo vimesajiliwa kwa mujibu wa sheria za nchi na hata ofisi ya Halamashauri ya Wilaya na ya DC ipo ndani ya GCA for those years?

PRESS RELEASE
​

First, these people have been living in the area illegally for many years because this land was never allocated to them under any Government arrangement. However, for very compassionate reasons the Government has allowed them to continue living there for all these years. Second, this land has always remained Government land throughout all those years.

The conceivable logic here is that the Government of Tanzania has made unique history of land-grabbing from itself to provide for its citizens in this case. This is a very laudable action and not something for which the Government of Tanzania should take all the bashing which has gone viral on social networks.

Ngoja nishangae kidogo, hivi kati ya kuku na yai kipi kilianza? Dunia nzima inajua kuwa Kuku (wamasai) wako humo hata kabla ya wakoloni kuja nchini, inakuwaje leo Serikali (yai) iliyowekwa hapo na wamasai ije iwaambie wamasai wanaishi humo crater kiharamu? Mwarabu ndiyo mwenye hiyo ardhi? Haya ni maajabu ya Ulimwengu! Kuna siku serikali hii ya CCM itatuambia wananchi wote tunaishi nchini kiharamu!

Wavuvi Ziwa Victoria walikwisha ambiwa wanavua kiharamu-waache kuvua, wachimbaji madini wanafukuzwa wana ambiwa wanachimba kiharamu-waondoke, wasukuma wafugaji kila wanakokwenda wana ambiwa wamevamia maeneo kiharamu-watimue sasa Wamasai wana ambiwa wanaishi crater isivyo halali eti wavamizi! Nyambovu!

Hivi huyu presd.anongoza hii nchi kwa style gani?

 

[Sabayi]

Mtu mmoja anaweza kuishi sehemu illegally. Kijiji hakiwezi kuishi sehemu illegally...

kumbe huwa una akili sometimes

 

[Rapherl]

Wakati mwingine huwa nasema hawa watu wanajitakia...tukipiga kelele CCM haifai wao wanaenda kuipigia kura hiyo hiyo miaka ishirini mtu bado hujashtuka kwamba hawa watu hawaangalii maslahi yao

Sasa yamezidi ndio wanajifanya kurudisha na kadi walikaa nazo za nini mda wote huo?

Ila wote sisi ni wamoja tutaendelea kuwapigania mpaka mwisho

 

[Mfamaji]

Waziri kawatumia press release hao investors kuwa wasiogope dili bado ipo. Anawaambia Masai ni inrtuders huko Loliondo. Hivi ana tofauti gani na yule aliyesema Tanzania ineundwa na visiwa vya Tanzania na Zimbabwe?

Hivi kweli hajui asili ya Masai ni wapi au ndio hivyo kaaaambiwa Loliondo ni sehemu ya Bagamoyo? Ngoja tuone Morran versus Wakwe..reee.

PRESSMEDDELANDE






Serikali anafafanua juu ya uamuzi wa kutoa nyimbo kubwa ya ardhi kwa wakazi wa Loliondo thelathini na tisa (39) miaka iliyopita mwaka 1974, Serikali ya Tanzania, kupitia Wizara yake ya Maliasili na Utalii na Serikali No 269 na katika mstari na ulimwengu wake wa sasa -mashuhuri na acclaimed wa Uhifadhi na kwa mujibu wa nafasi ya kihistoria kwamba Sera ya Ardhi yote ni wa Rasilimali za Taifa, alitangaza kupitia Gazeti la Serikali kwamba 4,000 kilomita za mraba katika eneo la Loliondo mkoani Arusha itakuwa re-classified kama Loliondo Game Controlled Area kwa rena wanyamapori ulinzi.

Ufanisi, hii ilifanya Loliondo Game Controlled Area sehemu ya Tanzania Protected Area Network (PA) ambayo inashughulikia asilimia 24 ya uso wa nchi hiyo jumla ya nchi. Hii ni moja ya ahadi juu ya ulinzi wa wanyamapori popote duniani na kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu lilifanywa kwa uangalifu kwa ajili ya ulinzi wa wanyamapori na kwa manufaa ya aina zote za binadamu.

Tanzania Protected Area Network ni pamoja na 15 kila Hifadhi za Taifa (NP) na Hifadhi ya Ngorongoro (NCA), wote wawili ambao ni kuweka kando mahsusi kwa ajili ya mashirika yasiyo ya uvunaji ya matumizi ya rasilimali za wanyamapori, Akiba ya 28 Game (GRs) na 44 Mapori haya Tengefu (Mapori Tengefu ) ambayo Loliondo GCA ni mmoja wao. Mapori ya Akiba na Mapori haya Tengefu ni kwa ajili ya matumizi ya uvunaji ya wanyamapori kama vile uwindaji mchezo. Hata hivyo, sehemu ya 17 ya Sheria ya Uhifadhi wa Wanyamapori Namba 5 ya 2009 inapinga shughuli za binadamu kama vile makazi na malisho ya mifugo katika maeneo hayo.

Hata hivyo, kama idadi ya watu imeongezeka na shinikizo juu ya ardhi imeongezeka zaidi katika miaka ya hivi karibuni katika maeneo ya jirani, Serikali ina waliona ni muhimu kutambuliwa na jukumu lake la msingi la kutoa ardhi kwa ajili ya watu katika eneo hili, ambao wengi wao ni wasio na ardhi ambao maisha yao ni hiyo yenye mazingira magumu.

Ilikuwa ni katika kutambua hali hii na katika mkutano wake majukumu ya msingi kwamba Serikali ya Tanzania hivi karibuni alifanya uamuzi wa de-gazeti la kilomita 2500 mraba ya ardhi, nje ya gazeti la serikali kilomita za mraba 4,000, na kuruhusu mitaa wakazi wa eneo la Loliondo kwa uhuru kutumia kwamba ardhi kwa ajili ya maendeleo yao wenyewe ya jamii.
Pia ilikuwa aliamua kwamba iliyobaki 1,500 kilomita za mraba ya ardhi kuwa na kubakia kama Game Controlled Area kwa ajili ya ulinzi ya kuendelea wanyamapori na mazingira kwa manufaa ya vizazi vya sasa na ya baadaye ya wanadamu.

Serikali alichukua uamuzi huu kwa kuelewa kwamba mazingira ya uhifadhi ni muhimu kwa ajili ya ulinzi eco-mfumo kama ni kwa ajili ya jamii ya maisha na maendeleo ya jamii. Tarehe 26 Machi, mwaka huu, kwa hiyo, Mhe. Khamis Sued Kagasheki, Waziri wa Maliasili na Utalii, kwa kutumia mamlaka yake chini ya wawekezaji katika Uhifadhi wa Wanyamapori ya Sheria Namba 5 ya 2009, sehemu ya 16 (4) alitangaza msimamo huu wa Serikali kwa sehemu pia kama juhudi na Serikali wa kutatua migogoro ya matumizi ya ardhi ambayo ina kuwepo Loliondo Game Controlled Area kwa miaka 20 iliyopita.

Katika tangazo lake, Waziri wazi kwamba Serikali alichukua kwamba uamuzi wa kutoa ardhi kwa idadi ya watu kuongezeka wasiokuwa na ardhi katika eneo hilo. Katika kutangaza uamuzi wa Serikali, Waziri Kagasheki alisisitiza mamlaka aliyopewa na sheria kupitia Mapori haya Tengefu kwa lengo la kuhakikisha ya muendelezo wa udhibiti wa maeneo hayo kwa kuzingatia kwamba THE1, 500 kilomita za mraba kubakia na Serikali kwa kiasi kikubwa ni muhimu Serengeti nzima na Ngorongoro mazingira.

Miongoni mwa sababu nyingine, hawa 1,500 kilomita za mraba ni muhimu uzalishaji eneo kwa ajili ya wanyamapori, kwa ajili ya uhamiaji ukanda iconic kubwa ya wanyamapori hasa kwa ajili ya mamilioni ya nyumbu na muhimu maji eneo la chanzo.
Kwa hiyo ni pato na kwa kweli misrepresentation malicious ya ukweli kwa ajili ya sehemu ya watu ndani na nje ya Game Controlled Area Loliondo kudai kwamba Serikali ya Tanzania ilikuwa grabbing ardhi kutoka kwa jamii Loliondo mitaa. Ambaye ni grabbing ardhi kutoka kwa nani?

Kwanza, watu hawa wamekuwa wakiishi katika eneo kinyume cha sheria kwa miaka mingi kwa sababu nchi hii ilikuwa kamwe zilizotengwa kwa ajili yao chini ya mpango wowote wa Serikali. Hata hivyo, kwa sababu huruma sana Serikali imeruhusu wao kuendelea kuishi huko kwa miaka yote. Pili, nchi hii daima alibakia Serikali ardhi katika miaka yote hiyo.

mantiki kuwaza hapa ni kwamba Serikali ya Tanzania imefanya historia ya kipekee ya nchi-grabbing kutoka yenyewe na kutoa kwa wananchi wake katika kesi hii. Hii ni hatua inayofaa kupongezwa sana na si kitu ambacho Serikali ya Tanzania inapaswa kuchukua bashing yote ambayo amekwenda virusi kwenye mitandao ya kijamii.

Nini Serikali ya Tanzania sasa kufanyika kwa kweli ni kutoa asilimia 62.7 ya nchi hii ya Area Loliondo Game Controlled kwa jamii kwa ajili ya matumizi ya sasa na ya baadaye na nje ya Serikali ya utekelezaji wa majukumu yake ya kutoa kwa wananchi wake. Hakika, Serikali hakuna katika dunia, inaweza kulaumiwa kwa ajili ya mkutano wa majukumu yake kwa viwango vile juu.

Petition na campaign ya wamasai imefanyika globally, amkeni na hadithi zenu za kiswahili, press release ikiwa kwenye kiswahili hata hao wamasai hawaielewi bado kwani ilibidi iwe kwenye kimasai. Tatizo la wengi ni kukosa common sense reasoning, kilicho muhimu ni chuki binafsi. Dunia haiongei kiswahili au kimasai for that matter, get out of that box of reasoning.Wamasai waziri kasema nao mara nyingi wala hii press release haikuwa kwa ajili yao ila kwa ajili ya washabiki walio ndani na nje ya nchi, wachochezi na waanzilishi wa vurugu nchini.

 

[EMT]

Kaizer kinachosiktisha ni hiyo press release kudai kuwa "these people have been living in the area illegally for many years because this land was never allocated to them under any Government arrangement."

Kwa mfano, kwa sababu serikali hawajawahi kugawa "vihamba" huko uchagani ina maana basi wachaga watakuwa wanaishi kinyume na sheria kwenye "vihamba" vyao?

Hivi watu ambao huyu waziri anawawakilisha kule jimboni kwake wote wamegawiwa ardhi under Government arrangements?

Kenya outlawed big game hunting in 1978.

But Tanzania says that hunting is the best use of the land and wildlife.

Really? Kwa kuwafukuzia mbali local people?

Hii ni hatari serikali kutumia sheria kandamizi kunyanyasa wananchi walioiweka madarakani!
Haiingii akilini jamii jamii nzima ya wamasai waliokuwepo tangu enzi eneo hilo, eti leo wageuke kuwa wavamizi! Ni maajabu pale mgeni anapomuita mwenyeji mvamizi!

 

[mito]

Mkuu hii issue imeanza tokea kipindi cha ukoloni. Wanahistoria wanasema kuwa wanachofanya serikali ya sasa ni mwendelezo wa kilichokuwa kinafanywa na serikali ya kikoloni, lakini serikali ya sasa inafanya kwa gia ya "investors".

Mwaka 1959, watu wote waliokuwa wanaishi eneo la Serenegeti walifukuzwa na serikali ya kikoloni ya Kiingereza ili kufanya eneo hilo kuwa mbuga ya kitaifa. Baadhi ya watu waliofukuzwa walikuwa ni Wamasai ambao waliishia kwenda kuanza makazi mapya eneo la hifadhi la Ngorongoro na Loliondo.

Baada ya uhuru serikali au watu fulani serikalini wameendelea kuwa na jicho ya ulafi kwa kutenga ardhi kwa ajili ya utalii wa picha na wageni kuwindia wanyama. Kwa sasa ulafi huu uko zaidi Loliondo. Mwaka 1992, Otterlo Business Corporation Ltd (inasemekana hii siyo kampuni bali ni kikundi tuu cha watu kutoka Uarabuni) ilipewa Pori tengefu la Loliondo (Game Controlled Area) kwa ajili ya kuwindia wanyama.

Otterlo Business Corporation Ltd hawana ardhi, bali wamepewa tuu leseni ya kuwinda wanyama kwenye korido ya ardhi inayopakana na hifadhi pori ya taifa. Hata hivyo, kinadharia wanaweza kuwinda mpaka panya kuzunguka ofisi ya mkuu wa wilaya hiyo.

Kila panapokuwa na mgogoro baina Otterlo Business Corporation Ltd na Wamasai, serikali inakuwa upande wa Otterlo Business Corporation Ltd. Utakumbuka nini kilitokea mwaka 2009. Pamoja na kwamba Otterlo Business Corporation Ltd na Wamasai walifikia suluhisho na kurudi kwenye eneo husika, mwaka 2011 serikali ilianza tena chokocho zake kwa kuja na mpango wa kuifanya hiyo korido kuwa pori tengefu, chini ya Sheria ya Hifadhi ya Wanyama No. 5 ya mwaka 2009.

Kipindi cha ukoloni, pori tengefu ilikuwa ni sehemu ya kuwindia wanyama. Hii ni tofauti na sehemu ya wazi (open area) ambayo hairuhusiwi kuwindia wanyama. Kwa vile matumizi ya ardhi kwa ajili ya kilimo na ufugaji yalikuwa ni sehemu ya wazi, Game Controlled Area iliangukia kwenye ardhi ya vijiji.

Hili jina la "Game Controlled Area" limeendelea kuwepo hata baada ya uhuru bila kuwa na maana yoyote. Kama walivyofanya wakoloni, serikali ya sasa imeendelea kutumia concept ya "Game Controlled Area" kwa nia ya kuwachanganya watu na kweli imefanikiwa kwa hilo.

Jaribu kujiuliza kwa nini "Game Controlled Area" ziko Tanzana tuu?

Umeeleza vizuri ila hapo kwa red pananipa shaka kujua weledi wako kuhusu uhifadhi.
Pia nadhani hujui maana ya open area na game controlled area ndo maana umeyachanganya hivyo!

 

[BABA JUICE]

First, these people have been living in the area illegally for many years.....kiongozi kama huyo waziri wa mali hasili hatufai...tanzania ndio nchi pekee wanyama ni bora kuliko binadamu...kwanza ukiangalia jamii ya wamasai si waharibifu wa mazingiza au walaji wa njama pori...mi naona serikali ya kikwete ina maslai yake binafsi juu ya hili swala....kilichobaki ni watu kutetea maslai yao kwa vizazi vijavyo....hakuna kiongozi mzalendo tumebaki wananchi kutetea haki zetu

 

[Omulangi]

Naona Kagasheki hamjui Lissu kuwa alianzia hukohuko kwenye Mazingira na kutetea Ardhi
Sasa kusema Wamaasai wanaishi Illegally eti hawakupangiwa hiyo Ardhi kachemka ndipo watakaposhtakiwa Kimataifa na kupoteza point zote za maisha bora kwa kila mtu

• First, these people have been living in the area illegally for many years because this land was never allocated to them under any Government arrangement. However, for very compassionate reasons the Government has allowed them to continue living there for all these years.
  
• Second, this land has always remained Government land throughout all those years.

Hiyo Ardhi ni ya Wamaasai toka dahari

Mbona katika history darasa la 4 tulifundishwa kuwa wanadamu wa kwanza walikuwa wanaishi oldvai Gorge? Hiyo iko katika mbuga za wanyama au nje??

PRESS RELEASE
​

Government clarifies on decision to provide huge tracks of land to Loliondo residents Thirty nine (39) years ago in 1974, the Government of Tanzania, through its Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism and through Government Notice No. 269 and in line with its now world-renowned and acclaimed Conservation Policy and in accordance with the historical Policy position that all Land is a National Resource, declared through Government Gazette that 4,000 square kilometers in the Loliondo Area in Arusha Region would be re-classified as Loliondo Game Controlled Area for purely wildlife protection.

Effectively, this made Loliondo Game Controlled Area part of the Tanzania’s Protected Area (PA) Network which covers 24 percent of the country’s total land surface. This is one of the highest commitments to wildlife protection anywhere in the world and as mentioned above was made consciously for protection of wildlife and for the benefit of all human kind.

Tanzania’s Protected Area Network includes all the 15 National Parks (NP) and Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), both of which are set aside specifically for non-consumptive use of wildlife resources, 28 Game Reserves (GRs) and 44 Game Controlled Areas (GCAs) of which Loliondo GCA is one of them. Game Reserves and Game Controlled Areas are for consumptive utilization of wildlife such as sport hunting. However, Section 17 of the Wildlife Conservation Act No. 5 of 2009 restricts human activities such as settlements and livestock grazing in these areas.

However, as population has increased and pressures on land have grown greater in recent years in the surrounding areas, the Government has felt it necessary and recognized its primary responsibility of providing land for people in this area, most of whom are landless and whose lives are therefore highly vulnerable.

It was in recognition of this situation and in meeting its primary responsibilities that the Government of Tanzania recently made a decision to de-gazette 2,500 square kilometers of land, out of the gazetted 4,000 square kilometers, to allow local inhabitants of Loliondo area to freely utilize that land for their own community development.
It was also decided that the remaining 1,500 square kilometers of land be retained as Game Controlled Area for continued protection of the wildlife and the environment for the benefit of the present and future generations of humankind.

The Government took this decision with the understanding that environment conservation is as important for eco-system protection as it is for community livelihood and community development. On 26th of March, this year, therefore, Hon. Khamis Sued Kagasheki, Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism, using powers invested into him under Wildlife Conservation Act No. 5 of 2009, Section 16 (4) announced this Government position partly also as effort by Government to resolve a land use conflict that has existed in Loliondo Game Controlled Area for the past 20 years.

In his announcement, the Minister made it clear that the Government took that decision to provide land to the growing landless population in the area. In announcing the Government decision, Minister Kagasheki emphasized powers given to him by law to review Game Controlled Areas for the purpose of ascertaining continuation of control of such areas bearing in mind that the1,500 square kilometres retained by Government are significantly important to the entire Serengeti and Ngorongoro ecosystem.

Among other reasons, these 1,500 square kilometers are a crucial breeding area for wildlife, a corridor for iconic great migration of wildlife in particular for millions of wildebeest and a critical water catchment area.
It is therefore a gross and indeed a malicious misrepresentation of facts for a section of people both in and outside of Loliondo Game Controlled Area to claim that the Government of Tanzania was grabbing land from the Loliondo local communities. Who is grabbing land from whom?

First, these people have been living in the area illegally for many years because this land was never allocated to them under any Government arrangement. However, for very compassionate reasons the Government has allowed them to continue living there for all these years. Second, this land has always remained Government land throughout all those years.

The conceivable logic here is that the Government of Tanzania has made unique history of land-grabbing from itself to provide for its citizens in this case. This is a very laudable action and not something for which the Government of Tanzania should take all the bashing which has gone viral on social networks.

What the Government of Tanzania has now done is in fact to provide 62.7 percent of this land of the Loliondo Game Controlled Area to local communities for present and future use and out of Government realization of its responsibilities to provide for its citizens. Surely, no Government in world, can be blamed for meeting its responsibilities to such high levels.

Mkuu nadhani hujaijua kiundani hii issue ilivyo! kiukweli wanaoishadadia ni hao hao wanaoongea kiingereza (activists, investors, politicians etc), tena ndo wanapotosha ukweli wake na kurusha huo upotoshaji ktk anga za kimataifa kwa interests zao, wananchi wanatumiwa tu na hao watu!

Wakuu, we have got to balance btn today's needs and tomorrow's needs. Tusilete siasa kwenye mambo ya msingi kama haya yanayogusa maisha yetu. Jamani haiwezekani ku-please kila mtu. Shida ya mfugaji ni kwamba siku zote yeye anaangalia ng'ombe wake atakula nini, mwanasiasa naye anaangalia political ambitions zake tu na kusahau kuwa eneo lile linahitajika kwa ajili ya wanyamapori (utalii) na kwa ajili ya kuhifadhi vyanzo vya maji - sasa tutaishije bila maji jamani!!!

Umeeleza vizuri ila hapo kwa red pananipa shaka kujua weledi wako kuhusu uhifadhi.

Ingekuwa vizuri basi kama ungeelezea weledi wako kuhusu hifadhi.

Labda una maana siyo maisha bora kwa kila Mtanzania bali ni maisha bora kwa kila mnyama?

Pia tafadhalali tuambie maana ya open area na game controlled area. Utakuwa umetusaidia sie tusiojua.
