In any Govt there are top secrets / confidential documents with information such national security interests…

If a citizen of URT get access to dubious contracts, agreements, plans that few people decided to commit on behalf of URT..he/she with love of his country should put them into public for citizens to know what is going on..

This is like stopping media and other whistleblowers not to expose further this corrupt government, we need to know people with Swiss accounts with stolen money from URT taxpayers..this is not Govt confidential document, even the recent issue of Dr. Uli, those who provided the numbers of callers yes they went beyond confidentiality of their clients information but for the sake of investigation to know who was behind it was ok (this should be police work to request information from telephone companies but they are also accused who else neutral will do this if not through other means).

GOVERNMENT'S PLANS AND IMPLEMENTATIONS OF DEVELOPMENT GOALS….. THERE IS NO CONFIDENTIALITY HERE; IT IS FOR THE INTEREST OF TANZANIANS……. GIVING MTWARA PORT, GETTING INTO STRANGE CONTRACTS WITH POWER GENERATIONS COMPANIES, MINING COMPANIES IS FOR DEVELOPMENTAL GOALS AND WE ALL WANT TO BE INVOLVED INCLUDING PARLIMENTARIANS TO DECIDE WHICH ROUTE WE SHOULD TAKE.

For election tricks of stealing votes, bribes going on as usual put them confidential and run this country forever but don't make us stupid confidential documents for government's plans and implementations of development goals

'stupid decisions stamped confidential'
majalada ya namna hii ni lazima yawekwe hadharani!

 

[Narubongo]

mara nyingi nyaraka chafu zenye maslahi ya watu binafsi ndio huwa zinavuja na zikishavuja mipango ya kiovu huwa inavurugika na kuisukuma serikali kuchukua hatua/kujirekebisha.

binafsi naona faida ni nyingi sana iwapo nyara chafu zitavuja

The PM said always documents stamped confidential needs high protection because areimportant for the government's plans and implementations of development goals.

Do such documents need be classified? Ni sahihi serikali kuwa na classified documents lakini access to such documents must be restricted by LAW or REGULATION, not just a CONFIDENTIAL STAMP.

Ni muhimu hili likawekwa wazi ili watanzania wasije wakawa victims kutokana tu na kukutwa na documents zenye STAMP lakini hazina restrictions kwenda kwenye umma kwa LAW au REGULATION inayoeleweka.

Sasa kama wao ndio wanashndwa kuprotect hizo confidential docs inabidi wenyewe ndio wawe liable na sio kuanza vitisho kwa media. Kwanza serikali ni watu, watu ndio sisi so tunahitaji kujua each & everythng abt gvt.

 

[Mwita Maranya]

Kama documents zenyewe ndio zile za wizi, uhujumu uchumi, ufisadi, rushwa na mambo yanayofanana na hayo basi wacha ziendelee kuvuja. Kwani kwa kufanya hivyo wananchi tunapata nafasi ya kujua madudu ya serikali.

 

[fredmlay]

Muheshimiwa PM nyaraka za siri zinapobeba maslahi ya kundi flani la mafisadi na kwa bahati njema zikaangukia kwenye mikono ya mzalendo lazima tu zianikwe hakuna njia na huo mkwara wako hautakuwa na maana.

Siri kufaidisha genge la mafisadi si siai siri, kinyume chake huko mbele tuendako zitatumika kuwahukumu hao wanaojidai kutunza siri lakini kwa maslahi yao.

 

[Ngoshaya mbwa]

Kwa nachofahamu sheria iliyopo inasema anything can be stated confidential kama kiongozi wa juu ataona hivyo. Huu ni upuuzi mfano mzuri ni wizi wa EPA by Deep green,etc eti inahusisha ununuzi vifaa vya jeshi so lisizungumzwe uongo mtupu. Kwa kuwa hukumu sio kubwa tunakwenda jela hizo 2 years kwa kugoma kutoa maelezo ila uozo umeanikwa. Jipange mkubwa

 

[jmushi1]

Document yenye kuhujumu uchumi hataka kama ni classified...the game is fair kabisa.Hatutaki kuclassifiy ufisadi,so if this is the way to declassify it(ufisadi),then let it be kwa maslahi ya ukweli ya Taifa.

tatizo kubwa linalonishangaza na kauli ya Pinda hizo documents ambazo zinazungumziwa ni zile zinazohusiana na UFISADI maana ndiko hoja ilikoanzia..Mimi nashindwa kuelewa kabisa matumizi ya hili neno Confidential kwa serikali yetu ikiwa ni maamuzi na kazi ya mtu mmoja na sio inayohusu Usalama wa taifa.
