Assalama Aleikum,

Kuhusu:
Mkakati

Kwa niaba ya Wanachama wa Jumuiya ya Mustakbal wa Zanzibar (MUWAZA),
Muungano wa Wazanzibari ng’ambo, tunaipongeza Jumuiya ya JUMIKI
kwa uamuzi wa kijasiri na kishujaa wa Viongozi wake kushiriki pamoja na
Wazanzibari wenziwao wote katika mchakato wa kutafuta katiba mpya ya
Tanzania na kukataa katakata suala zima la kususia zoezi hilo. MUWAZA
inakubaliana kwamba ususiaji wa namna yeyote wa zoezi hilo utatoa mwanya
unaotakiwa na Watu wasioitakia mema Zanzibar, na ambao wanaweza
kuutumia mwanya huo kujifanya wao ndio wasemaji pekee halali wa
Wazanzibari. Ni kushiriki kwa wingi na kikamilifu katika kutoa maoni mbele ya
tume hiyo ya Jaji Warioba ndipo wananchi wa Zanzibar wataweza kudhihirisha
hadharani chaguo gani wanalitaka kuhusu mustakbali wa maisha yao ya
baadae ndani ya Zanzibar. Hii ni fursa nzuri na ya nadra ambapo Wazanzibari
wataweza kurejesha heshima ya nchi yao na ya Viongozi wao.

Hata hivyo, MUWAZA inawashauri Viongozi wa JUMIKI, kama inavowashauri
ndugu zetu Wazanzibari, kwamba fursa hii ya mchakato wa katiba
mpya itumike kwa amani na ustaarabu wa kizanzibari unaothaminiwa duniani
kote wa kustahamilia kila mmoja wetu maoni ya mwenzake, hata kama
hakubaliani nayo, kikubwa kabisa ni kuweka maslahi ya juu kabisa ya visiwa
vya Zanzibar na wengi wa watu wake.

MUWAZA, kama ilivyo JUMIKI, pamoja na Wazanzibari wote wanaopenda
amani na maendeleo ya visiwa vyao, kwa nguvu zote unapinga kabisa
matumizi ya nguvu na mabavu dhidi ya wananchi, bila ya kujali kama vitendo
hivyo vinafanywa na taasisi za dola, vyama vya kisiasa, jumuiya yeyote au
mtu mmoja mmoja binafsi. Tunasisitiza haja ya vyombo vya dola, Vyama
vya kisiasa, Jumuiya za kiraia na Wananchi kwa jumla kutetea na kuheshimu
amani ya nchi, uhuru wa watu wote kuweza kutoa maoni yao na kukusanyika
kwa njia huru, bila ya vizuwizi na vikwazo, mradi wanaambatana na sheria na
kulinda amani.

MUWAZA inaamini zoezi la kuwaelimisha Wananchi juu ya haki zao za
kikatiba na kuwazindua juu ya sheria ambazo hazitekelezwi vilivyo kama
ilivokusudiwa, hivyo kupelekea wananchi kukandamizwa na kupoteza haki
zao za kimsingi, ni harakati endelevu isiokuwa na kiwango cha wakati
na kipindi. Hivyo, tunakubali kwamba ni juu ya dola kuweka mazingira
mazuri kwa jambo hilo kufanyika. Ni imani ya MUWAZA kwamba wananchi
wanapozidi kuwa na mwamko zaidi wa kutambua haki zao na kuelewa
namna ya kuzipigania kwa njia ya amani, pamoja na kuelewa namna nchi yao
inavotawaliwa na inavofaa kutawaliwa siku za mbele ni faida kwa nchi yetu na
maendeleo yake.

MUWAZA inakubaliana nanyi kwamba kuna mambo kadha ya dhuluma ndani
ya Muungano, kama ulivo sasa, kwamba Muungano huo umekuwa zaidi
wa kiserikali. Hivyo iko haja ya kuuimarisha zaidi Muungano wa Kijamii na
kuondosha dhuluma zilizokuweko mnamo miaka 48 iliopita.

Kama ilivyo JUMIKI, MUWAZA imelikaribisha kwa tamko la Mheshimiwa
Jaji Warioba alilolitoa mbele ya Waandishi wa habari alipoizindua Tume ya
kukusanya maoni juu ya katiba mpya mjini Dar es Salaam tarehe 18/06/
2012 kwamba maoni yote yataheshimiwa na kuzingatiwa, likiwemo suala la
Muungano ambalo kwa Wazanzibari ndilo suala muhimu.

Pia MUWAZA inatarajia, kutokana na watu waliomo ndani ya Tume ya
Jaji Warioba, kwamba uadilifu, haki na uwazi utaoneshwa katika zoezi
la kukusanya maoni ya Wananchi, maoni ya wananchi walio wengi
yataheshimiwa na tume na baadae na Serikali ya Muungano wa Tanzania
na ya Serikali ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar.Tunaitarajia Tume ya Warioba na
Serikali zote mbili zitahakikisha watu wanatoa maoni yao bila ya kutishwa
waseme nini mbele ya Tume, kwamba hawataadhibiwa kwa namna yeyote
juu ya usalama na ajira zao baada ya kutoa maoni yao mbele ya tume.
Tunawahimiza Wazanzibari waseme wazi, tena kwa midomo mipana, pindi
wanatiwa hofu ya aina yeyote wakati wa zoezi hilo.

Kama ilivyo JUMIKA, MUWAZA inatoa mwito kwa Wazanzibari wote waungane
kwa kauli moja ya kurejesha heshima ya rais wa Zanzibar na nchi yao, na
kwamba chimbuko la mamlaka maisha libakie ndani ya mikono ya wananchi.

MUWAZA inapinga vikali vitendo vyovyote vya kuwabeza Wazanzibari
wanaopinga mfumo ulioibakisha nchi yao nyuma kwa miaka na kuwabakisha
wananchi wake wengi katika ufukara na maendeleo duni katika nyanja za
elimu, afya na huduma nyingine za kijamii.

Tunawatakia Wazanzibari kila la kheri, amani na maendeleo, na hayo
yatafikiwa tu ikiwa wenyewe Wazanzibari, katika mazingira yalio huru na ya
amani, watafanya maamuzi sahihi kwa pamoja katika kipindi hiki muhimu cha
historia ya nchi yao.

Iiishi Zanzibar.

JINSI YA KUTUMIA FEDHA KIDOGO KWA MAFANIKIO

Watu wengi husindwa kubana matumizi kutokana na kukosa elimu ya jinsi ya kutumia pesa. Baadhi wamesoma na wengine wanaendelea kusoma masomo mbalimbali yanayohusu pesa na wanahitimu vizuri, lakini wanapokuja katika uhalisia wa maisha wanajikuta wanafeli vibaya kutokana na kutoutambua umuhimu wa kuwa na nidhamu ya pesa.

Msomaji wangu nikupe dondoo kadhaa ambazo kwa namna moja ama nyingine zinaweza kukusaidia katika kubana matumizi na hatimaye hata kama kipato chako ni kidogo, kikakidhi mahitaji yako muhimu na pia kukawepo na ziada.

Usipendelee kukopa
Kuna watu wengi sana wanaishi kwa kukopa kopa vitu madukani na kwa watu. Mtindo huu ni mbaya sana kwa ukadiriaji wa matumizi, kwani haumtii uchungu mkopaji hadi pale atakapokuwa analipa. Mara nyingi ukopaji huongeza gharama, hivyo inashauriwa ukiwa na 5,000 itumie hiyo, bila kutafuta ziada kwenye deni.

Kuwa na bajeti ndogo
Katika maisha pendelea kupanga bajeti yako kwa mafungu madogo madogo hasa ya wiki. Usivuke mipango hiyo kwa kutumia bajeti ya wiki inayofuata.

Usitembee na pesa nyingi
Baadhi ya watu wanapenda kutembea mitaani huku wakiwa na pesa nyingi mifukoni. Fahamu kuwa kutembea na pesa usizozipangia bajeti utajikuta unashawishiwa kuzitumia bila mpango.

Hata hivyo, unashauriwa kujenga tabia ya kukaa nyumbani na familia yako na kama utatoka siku za mwisho wa wiki basi weka bajeti ya kiasi ambacho utakitumia. Kitendo cha kutoka huku ukiwa na fedha nyingi kwenye pochi lako ni kujishawishi kufanya matanuzi yasio na msingi.

Epuka kununua vitu kwa rejareja!
Unapopata mshaara wako au unapofikiria kuhusu matumizi ya nyumbani kwako pendelea sana kununua vitu kwa jumla ambavyo utavitumia kwa mwezi mzima. Epuka kununua vipimo vidogo vidogo kwani vinaumiza na kuvuruga bajeti.

Pika chakula nyumbani kwako
Watu wengi hasa vijana wanapenda sana kula kwenye migahawa na hotelini. Ulaji huu ni ghali, hivyo inashauriwa kila mtu ajipikie chakula chake nyumbani. Hii itamsaidia kutumia pesa kidogo katika suala la chakula.

Ifundishe familia nidhamu ya pesa
Kuna watu hawawafundishi watoto na wake zao nidhamu ya matumizi ya pesa. Mume/mke asinunue vitu ambavyo familioa haikuzitengea bajeti na asiwepo mtumia hovyo vitu vilivyonunuliwa kwa ajili ya matumizi ya nyumbani.

Akiba na mipango ni muhimu
Familia lazima ijiwekee akiba benki. Utunzaji wa pesa nyumbani si wa salama na mara nyingi hushawishi matumizi. Aidha unapoweka feda benki ziwekee malengo amambo utakuwa ukiyatimiza taratibu si mpaka pesa hizo ziwe nyini.

Kuwa na familia ndogo
Ingawa ni hali halisi ya maisha ya kiafrika kwa familia moja kuwa na watu wengi lakini inashauriwa kwamba, ili kupata ziada ya kipato lazima familia iwe ndogo, vinginevyo mshahara wote unaweza kutumika kwa chakula tu. La kama familia itakuwa ni kubwa basi kila mmoja afanye kazi ili uwepo usaidianaji wa kuendesha familia.

Remarks at the Friends of the Syrian People Ministerial Meeting

Remarks

Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State

Ministerial Conference Center

Paris, France

July 6, 2012

Thank you very much, and thanks to the Government of France for hosting this. I want to support what Minister Davutoglu just said, because the Friends of Syria has been a very useful device to build pressure against the Syrian regime and to build international support for the Syrian people.

For more than a year, those who spoke for the Syrian opposition said they did not want any foreign intervention. And we respected that. And it is something that we took seriously. Starting in Tunis and then in Istanbul and now in Paris, we are focused on determining what we can do to try to hasten the end of this regime and to provide the circumstances for an effective process of transition and reconciliation.

What was accomplished in Geneva by the action group was, for the very first time, to enlist not only all five permanent members of the Security Council including Russia and China, but also important leaders in the region and in the Arab League in support of such a transition. The issue now is to determine how best to put into action what was accomplished there and is continuing here. And I really hope everyone reads the communique from Geneva, because for example, one of the earlier speakers from Syria expressed concern there was nothing about political prisoners. Well, indeed there is. And a call for the release from detention. So it would be very helpful to get everybody on the same page if we’re going to work together about what we have already done and what we need to be doing as we move forward.

Under the Geneva communique, the opposition is for the first time put on an even basis with the government. They are given equal power in constituting the transition governing entity that will have, as we just heard, full executive authority. That could not have been imagined three months ago, let alone a year ago.

So although none of us here is satisfied or comfortable with what is still going on inside of Syria, because it is against every norm of international law and human decency for a government to be murdering its own people, there has been in the last several months, starting in Tunisia, a steady, inexorable march toward ending this regime. What we need to do is to follow through on what each of us can contribute to the end of the Assad regime and the beginning of a new day for Syria.

I applaud what was accomplished in Cairo a few days ago. It was the largest, most inclusive gathering of opponents to the Assad regime ever convened. They came together to support a detailed transition plan that builds on Kofi Annan’s guidelines. They created a follow-up committee, including some of Syria’s brightest young people – after all it is their future that we are hoping to improve – and we expect the Syrian opposition now to begin to implement that transition plan.

We also think it is imperative to go back to the Security Council and demand implementation of Kofi Annan’s plan, including the Geneva communique that Russia and China have already agreed to. So we now have them on record supporting a transition. And we should go back and ask for a resolution in the Security Council that imposes real and immediate consequences for non-compliance, including sanctions under Chapter VII.

Now what can every nation and group represented here do? I ask you to reach out to Russia and China and to not only urge, but demand that they get off the sidelines and begin to support the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people. It is frankly not enough just to come to the Friends of the Syrian People, because I will tell you very frankly, I don’t think Russia and China believe they are paying any price at all – nothing at all – for standing up on behalf of the Assad regime. The only way that will change is if every nation represented here directly and urgently makes it clear that Russia and China will pay a price, because they are holding up progress – blockading it – that is no longer tolerable.

And let me also add that confronted with the regime’s non-compliance, it is difficult to imagine how the UN supervision mission can fulfill its responsibilities without a Chapter VII enforcement mechanism. I think General Mood and his team have performed an extraordinary task, but it is clear unarmed observers cannot monitor a ceasefire that does not exist.

Next, what can you all do? You can tighten the financial vise, squeezing the regime. The second meeting of the sanctions working group in Washington last month called for all states to take additional steps to freeze the assets of regime officials, restrict transactions with the commercial and central banks, and embargo Syrian oil. Since then, Switzerland, the European Union, Japan, and Australia have all announced additional measures. And the regime is becoming more isolated, which will help to hasten its end because its business support will finally turn on it.

Syria’s currency and foreign reserves have collapsed. Sanctions on oil alone have deprived Assad of billions of dollars in lost revenues, and his ability to finance his war grows more difficult by the day. What’s keeping him afloat is money from Iran and assistance from Russia and the failure of countries represented here to tighten and enforce sanctions. You cannot call for transition on the one hand and give the regime a free pass on sanctions on the other. So we need to push for even stronger implementation at the working group meeting next to be held in Doha on sanctions.

I am also pleased that the Syrian Justice and Accountability Center is now up and running, compiling evidence of serious violations of human rights, because, after all, there can be no impunity and we need the evidence in order to make sure there is none.

So increasing pressure in all these ways is critical because no transition plan can progress so long as the regime’s brutal assaults continue. And we cannot ask the opposition to unilaterally give up their struggle for justice, dignity, and self-determination. The United States will continue providing non-lethal assistance to help those inside Syria who are carrying the fight to organize and better communicate.

Now what else can we do? We can increase our humanitarian relief. The United States is providing more than $57 million to support humanitarian organizations, but unfortunately, the Syrian Humanitarian Response Plan is only 20 percent funded so far. So we all need to do more – not only now but in the future to assist with the reconstruction.

And although the stakes for the Syrian people are literally life and death, they are also significant for the entire world, because if Syria spirals further into civil war, not only will more civilians die, more refugees will stream across the borders, but instability will spread far beyond Syria.

This is a regime with a massive war machine. I’m sure many of you followed the back and forth I had with the Russian Government over sending the attack helicopters they were refurbishing back to Syria. And I thank the United Kingdom and other European countries for very clearly expressing their refusal to allow that ship to go forward. But there are still those who are funding the regime and providing war materiel. And they have shown no hesitance in continuing to do that. In fact, the Syrian Government itself has only escalated their violence over time.

Given their behavior – and the chemical weapons they possess – it is imperative that they understand their international responsibilities. So yes, what can we do? Right now, leaving this meeting, there are a number of things every one of us can do. And I hope that we will commit to doing so, because clearly our message must be: We are united in support of the Syrian people and in our absolute resolve to see the end of the Assad regime and a transition to a democratically-elected, representative government that gives the Syrian people a path forward. And I think that means we, at this time, must be firm and united in support of Special Envoy Kofi Annan’s plan and act accordingly.

Thank you very much. (Applause.)

IBM has signed a collaboration agreement with the Tanzanian Ministry of Communication, Science and Technology to help accelerate the adoption of technology as part of Tanzania's ongoing development and strategy to increase its competitiveness in East Africa.

IBM will work with the Tanzanian Government to help achieve its vision of becoming a hub for trade in the wider East Africa region and to enhance sustainable economic development as outlined in the Tanzania National ICT Policy.

"This agreement supports the goals of the National ICT Commission to use innovative technologies and approaches to transform our infrastructures, build national data centers, increase cyber-security and invest in IT talent development," said Honourable Prof. Makame M. Mbarawa, the Minister for Communication, Science and Technology.

"Working with IBM will help to ensure that our initiatives are in line with international standards while positioning us to become competitive regionally and internationally, " he added.

IBM and the Government of Tanzania will co-operate to support the country's National ICT agenda developing simplified and more effective social and administrative systems for e-Government, e-Health and e-Education among other areas.

"IBM is a long-standing partner to the Tanzanian government and we are committed to supporting the country's economic growth and technical advancement," said Dr. Mark Dean, Chief Technology Officer and IBM Fellow, IBM Middle East and Africa. "A key part of our strategy in Africa is to build skills and a culture of innovation across the continent."

One of the focus areas of the agreement will be the port of Dar es Salaam which is the main point for Tanzania's imports and exports. The port also serves the neighboring landlocked countries of Zambia, Malawi, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

By working with IBM, the Tanzanian government will explore the use of innovative technologies and approaches to help the port to operate more efficiently, transform revenue collection processes and strengthen regional trade links.

The agreement underscores IBM's commitment to Africa and builds on a similar agreement signed in March 2010 between IBM and the Tanzania Ministry of Education and Vocational Training to support the adoption of IT in the areas of education, research and development.

Significant progress has been made since that earlier agreement, including the provision of international guest lecturers, three academic awards, the donation of 37,000 technical reference books and journals to the University of Dodoma and the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology, as well as international co-operation with Tanzanian academics.
IBM has also been actively engaged in Tanzania through its Corporate Service Corps program. Since 2009, 88 talented emerging leaders from more than 25 different countries have worked on one month assignments to Tanzania in projects aimed at social and economic development. Through this program IBM has dedicated over 10,000 hours of pro bono information technology and business consulting to Tanzania.

On July 5, U.S. Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission Robert K. Scott awarded over 84.4 million Tanzanian shillings ($54,500 USD) to eight organizations and schools for self-improvement projects under the Community Grants Program funded by the American people through the U.S. Department of State. These are composed of two annual grant funds: the Ambassador's Special Self Help Fund, and the Ambassador's Fund for HIV/AIDS Relief. The grants provide direct assistance to Tanzanian citizens for small, community-based, improvement projects.

The Special Self-Help fund provides direct assistance grants to Tanzanian community organizations for projects designed to benefit rural and urban communities. The Ambassador's Fund for HIV/AIDS Relief provides assistance for communities which remain vulnerable to the disease.

The Ambassador's Special Self Help Fund was established during Mwalimu Julius K. Nyerere's first presidential term. For over 46 years, the grants have helped community-based organizations in every region to improve the lives of Tanzanians through their own ideas.

These include by building schools, providing public access to clean water, utilizing solar energy and starting new commercial initiatives. The Ambassador's Fund for HIV/AIDS Relief was established in 2009. Since then, it has provided grants to over 40 community-groups in Tanzania.

In his remarks, Deputy Chief of Mission Scott noted: "Assistance programs have a deeper and more meaningful impact when they are implemented from Tanzanians for Tanzanians based on their own priorities. I am proud to present these grants because they promote innovation and leadership from citizens committed to strengthen and serve their communities."

The Deputy Chief of Mission presented grants serving four critical sectors: Solar Power; Education; Orphans and Vulnerable Children; and People Living with HIV/AIDS.

· The Self-Help Fund granted 10 million Tanzanian shillings to the Wilima Secondary School in Ruvuma to install a solar power system to operate computers and provide electricity for over 500 students.

· Also in Ruvuma, this program will provide 14.9 million Tanzanian shillings to provide electricity for the Maguu Community Based Information Center Association's library.

· To advance girls' education and empowerment, the St. Martin's Secondary Girl's School in Morogoro received a grant of 7.5 million Tanzanian shillings to purchase laboratory equipment for 191 students to pursue science studies.

The Ambassador's Fund for HIV/AIDS Relief this year provided grants to five organizations, three of which are orphanages and two groups which are working with orphans and people living with HIV/AIDS.

· The Yatima Group Trust Fund of Dar es Salaam received 4.5 million Tanzanian shillings to build a cement tank with roof catchment which will harvest and store water for the Chamazi Orphanage Center which houses 162 children.

· The Saint Elizabeth's Orphan Care Center, which houses 50 babies and young children in Morogoro, received 17.8 million Tanzanian shillings to install a water tower and provide plumbing to four orphan homes.

Jana tarehe 05 Julai 2012, Mhe. Bernard Kamilius Membe (Mb),Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa amekutana na Waandishi wa Habari pamoja na Mabalozi wa Nchi za Umoja wa Ulaya na Marekani hapa nchini kwa lengo la kutoa msimamo wa Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania kuhusu kuwepo kwa uvumi kwamba Meli za Iran zimesajiliwa na kupeperusha bendera ya Tanzania kama ilivyotangazwa katika vyombo vya habari ndani na nje ya nchi.

Katika mazungumzo yake na Waandishi wa Habari na baadaye Mabalozi, Mhe. Waziri alieleza kwamba Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania ilipata taarifa kuhusu meli za Iran kusajiliwa na kupeperusha bendera ya Tanzania kupitia kwenye vyombo vya habari.

Alisema Serikali ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar ilichukua hatua ya kuitaka Mamlaka ya Usafiri wa Baharini ya Zanzibar – Zanzibar Marine Authority (ZMA) ambayo kwa Sheria Na. 3 ya mwaka 2009 ina mamlaka ya kusajili meli za Kimataifa kuchuguza tuhuma hizo na kutoa taarifa.

Aidha, aliwatanabaisha Waandishi na Mabalozi kwamba Mamlaka ya Usafiri wa Baharini Zanzibar ilichukua hatua za kumtaka Wakala wake wa kusajili meli, Kampuni ya PHILTEX yenye makao yake makuu Dubai, Falme za Kiarabu (UAE) kutoa taarifa kama kati ya meli 399 zilizosajiliwa kuna meli za Iran.

Nayo Kampuni ya PHILTEX ilitoa taarifa kuwa kati ya meli zilizosajiliwa hakuna meli hata moja ya Iran. Hata hivyo, waliongeza kuwa meli zilizosajiliwa hivi karibuni zilikuwa na usajili wa Cyprus na Malta.

Aidha, Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa ilimwita Balozi wa Iran nchini ili kujua kama kuna ukweli kuwa baadhi ya meli zilizosajiliwa ni za Iran. Balozi alikataa kabisa kuwa hakuna meli za Iran zilizosajiliwa Zanzibar na zinazopeperusha bendera ya Tanzania.

Taarifa hizi kutoka kwenye vyombo vya habari, Kampuni ya PHILTEX na Ubalozi wa Iran nchini zimepelekea Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania kufanya uchunguzi wa kina ili kuthibitisha kama kweli kuna meli za Iran zilizosajiliwa Zanzibar na zinazopeperusha bendera ya Tanzania.

Ili kupata ukweli wa tuhuma hizo, Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania imeomba nchi za Umoja wa Ulaya na Marekani kusaidia katika uchunguzi. Mhe. Waziri, aliwakabidhi Barua za Kibalozi kuwasilisha rasmi ombi hilo.

Mhe. Waziri Membe aliwahidi waandishi wa Habari na Mabalozi hao kwamba kuwa baada ya uchunguzi kukamilika na ukweli kubainika, serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano itachukuwa hatua za haraka ikiwemo kufuta usajili wa meli zote zitakazogundulika kuwa ni za Iran.
