Greece crisis: Eurozone rules out talks until
after referendum
2 July 2015 Europe
Supporters of the "No" campaign in Sunday's referendum
marched in Thessaloniki as divisions sharpen over the vote
Eurozone finance ministers have ruled out any further talks
on a fresh bailout for Greece until the country holds its
referendum on Sunday.
Greeks will be asked to accept or reject proposals made by
creditors last week, with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras
urging a "No" vote.
Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis accused the creditors of
blackmail.
But he pledged a deal would be reached soon after the vote
and that current limits on bank withdrawals would ease.
Earlier on Wednesday Mr Tsipras put new proposals to
eurozone partners, accepting most of what was on the table
before talks with creditors collapsed last week, but with
conditions.
His latest offer is tied explicitly to agreement on a request
for a third bailout from the eurozone's bailout fund lasting
two years and amounting to €29.1bn.
However, later Mr Tsipras made a defiant speech on national
TV confirming Sunday's vote would go ahead and urging a
"No" vote to strengthen Greece's hand in negotiations.
Mr Varoufakis said later in a TV interview: "This is a very dark
moment for Europe. They have closed our banks for the sole
purpose of blackmailing what? Getting a 'Yes' vote on a non-
sustainable solution that would be bad for Europe."
But he added: "On Monday, the creditors, the lenders will
have taken the message by the Greek people... So as soon
as they get this message, be sure that in a very short time
there will be a response."
Dutch Finance Minister and Eurogroup President Jeroen
Dijsselbloem replied to Mr Tsipras's proposals by saying a
new bailout could only be discussed "after and on the basis
of the outcome of" the vote.
The BBC's James Reynolds in Athens says EU negotiators
believe the proposals themselves have now expired and that
there is little point in taking the country's phone calls until
the referendum is held.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel was among those
insisting talks must follow the outcome of the vote.
However, French President Francois Hollande said he wanted
a deal to be found before the referendum.
"We have to be clear. An accord is for right now, it will not be
put off," he said.

Story highlights
Australia says it will uphold its international obligations, but
migrant organization says payments to traffickers unethical
U.N. refugee agency says Australian government paid
human traffickers to turn a boat back
Australian PM has refused to give a straight answer on
allegations
(CNN)— The Australian government stands accused of
shirking its international obligations to migrants following
allegations it paid people smugglers to turn back a boat full
of people seeking asylum.
The country's immigration minister, Peter Dutton, said that
his government would honor its international commitments.
"We will act within the law; we will act within our
international obligations," he told reporters Sunday.
However, migrant advocates have said that, should the
allegations prove true, Australia is shirking its international
obligations.
"Clearly helping people smugglers is not something that is
supported by international conventions," Leonard Doyle,
spokesperson for the International Organization for
Migration (IOM), told CNN's John Vause.
"Indeed if they're traffickers by this point then that is
something that would not be supported by anybody but we
have to see what the facts are."
First-hand reports
The United Nations refugee agency's report cited firsthand
accounts of people on board a ship that was diverted to
Indonesia after coming in contact with Australian
authorities.
The boat -- carrying 65 migrants from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh
and Myanmar -- was intercepted by the Indonesian navy
after turning back from Australia on May 31, the UNHCR
said.
The migrants were transferred to an Indonesian customs
vessel for four days before being sent on two boats to
Indonesia, the UNHCR added, after speaking to some of the
passengers.
Australia has refused to confirm or deny the payment, and
Prime Minister Tony Abbott went on the defensive Friday
when asked about the claim. Abbott refused to "comment on
operational matters," but said that the government would
stop the boats "by hook or by crook."
Answers sought
Along with Australian opposition politicians, Indonesia's
foreign minister, Retno Marsudi, has demanded a response
from the Abbott administration and said she had taken up
the issue with Australia's ambassador to Jakarta.
A ministry spokesman Armanatha Nasir told Australia's ABC
News that Indonesia would investigate the UNHCR
allegations.
"Of course on Australia's push-back policy we have been
consistently saying they are on a slippery slope," ABC
reported him as saying.
"Should this situation (be) confirmed ... it would be a new
low."
Speaking with reporters Sunday, Abbott again avoided giving
a direct answer as to whether Australia had paid people
smugglers to turn boats around.
"There's really only one thing to say here... and that is we
have stopped the boats," CNN affiliate Sky News reported
Abbott as saying.
"That's good for Australia, it's good for Indonesia and it's
particularly good for all of those who want to see a better
world because if the boats start again, the deaths start
again. None of us should want to see deaths at sea and the
only way to ensure that the boats stay stopped. It's
important that the Indonesians know that the Australian
government is absolutely resolute in our determination
never to see this evil trade start up again."
Relations between Indonesia and Australia remain strained
following the execution of two Australian nationals, part of
the so-called Bali 9 group of drug smugglers, in April.
Australia recalled its ambassador from Jakarta following the
incident.
'Keep the door open'
There are concerns that the plight of genuine refugees is
being politicized by governments like Abbott's.
"At the end of the day migration is a complex issue. It's
often reduced to political slogans and it's certainly not
something to be managed through sloganeering. We can't
just lock the door on people," IOM's Doyle told CNN.
"Around the world it's a phenomenon that needs
collaboration and not simply c

Al Qaeda suspects flee during massive prison break
Al Qaeda suspects flee during massive prison break

The official said today's jailbreak in Taiz came after the city's main prison was caught in crossfire between southerners fighting for autonomy or outright independence and the rebels, known as Houthis, who are backed by army units loyal to a former president.
He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
It was the third major jailbreak in Yemen since a Saudi-led air campaign against the rebels began on March 26.
The Iran-backed rebels seized the capital, Sanaa, last September and control much of the country's north.
116 killed in Indonesia plane crash
116 killed in Indonesia plane crash
Published: 5:51 am, Wednesday, 1 July 2015
Buildings were left in ruins and cars reduced to flaming wrecks when the Hercules C-130 on Tuesday came down in a residential area of Medan, a city of two million on the island of Sumatra.
Air force chief Agus Supriatna said the manifest showed there were 113 people on board the plane - 12 crew and 101 passengers - when it crashed, and he did not believe any had survived.
"No, no. No survivors, I have just returned from the site," he told AFP in answer to a question.
So far 84 bodies had been pulled from the debris and brought to a hospital in Medan, the hospital said.
Many passengers were likely to be family members of servicemen and women, said a spokesman for Medan airbase from where the plane departed. At least one child has so far been confirmed dead.
Search and rescue officials also said that three people were killed on the ground when the 51-year-old plane went down near a newly built residential area, hitting a massage parlour and a small hotel.
Police said rescuers were still trying to get into the ruined massage parlour, a three-storey building, and they did not know whether there were people inside.
A rescue operation swung into action following the crash, with ambulances ferrying bodies from the site, and crowds of anxious people gathering around a police cordon to view the smouldering wreckage.
Residents described the terrifying moment just after midday when the plane came down.
"It was very scary," said Novi, an employee of an international school who goes by one name, describing how she heard the plane and saw it flying very low before the crash.
Another local resident Januar, 26, said the aircraft appeared to be in trouble just before the accident: "I saw the plane from the direction of the airport and it was tilting already, then I saw smoke billowing."
The disaster once again shone a harsh light on Indonesia's poor aviation safety record. It came just six months after an AirAsia plane crashed into the Java Sea, killing all 162 people on board.
It also raised questions about the Indonesian military's aircraft - it was the sixth fatal crash involving an Indonesian air force plane in the past decade, according to the Aviation Safety Network.
Following the crash, Supriatna said the military was grounding some of its Hercules planes.

Tanzania: No Fuel Shortage, Nation Assured
Tanzania: No Fuel Shortage, Nation Assured
The warning was relayed here by the Deputy Minister for Energy and Minerals, Mr Charles Mwijage, following an intervention by the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Mr Job Ndugai, who had asked the ministry to respond to speculations that the country will face a serious shortage of fuel (diesel and petrol) in the course of this week.
Mr Ndugai noted that for the past few days, messages have been circulating, especially in Dar es Salaam, that there will be a big shortage of fuel in the city within the next few days. He wanted the government to provide a statement over the issue.
However, Mr Mwijage strongly dispelled such rumours, saying that there is sufficient stock in the country at present.
The deputy minister advised the public to ignore the message being circulated, assuring all stakeholders that there cannot be such shortage as the law gives the Energy Minister powers to allow reserved oil to be sold in case of any shortfall.

Govt challenged to improve openness, accountability

Twaweza Executive Director Aidan Eyakuze
The challenged was levied by Twaweza Executive Director Aidan
Eyakuze in an exclusive interview with The Guardian recently in Dar es
Salaam.
“The government must collaborate fully with other stakeholders
including civil societies to develop openness and transparency,” he
said.
“Once the government and civil society work together, with varying
degrees of engagement, partnership and success, it will eventually help
to develop and implement ambitious open government reforms, “he added.
According to him, the move will guarantee implementation of laws
that recognise and protect the freedom of expression among others.
Executive Director Eyakuze went on to emphasise the need for
whistle-blower protection and removal of unwarranted restrictions and
controls on civil society organisations.
“We also advocate for the repeal of secrecy laws,” he added.
The executive director said the government must also make space for
meaningful dialogue on major issues pertaining to good governance.
“Sometimes dialogue can be uncomfortable, especially when other
players raise challenges to the government,” he admitted but instated
that; “unless the government creates space for dialogue with other
stakeholder’s especially civil society organisations, it cannot hope to
succeed.”
“Stakeholders from all cadres must accept the reality that setbacks
our common journey towards a changed culture of governance,” he noted.
Assenting to the controversial Media Services and Access to
Information Bills in May this year, President Jakaya Kikwete said they
promote democracy and transparency. According to President Kikwete, the
growth of media freedom is evident in the fact that there are now more
privately owned media houses than ever before.
“I hope these media bills will be tabled in the ongoing session of
the National Assembly and they will be the last bills to assent to law
in my ten years leadership,” he said.
Commenting on two other heavily contested bills, the Statistics
and Cybercrime bills which the President has already assented to laws,
he said people with opposing views should submit them to the relevant
authorities instead of just complaining.
“I believe in reconciliation, if there are people with genuine
views then they should take them to the relevant authorities instead
putting pressure on the government,” he said.
President Kikwete further said that the government was not working
under threats of some development partners on the gist of donor fund
withdraw but rather on good authority and merit of the laws.
Nonetheless, the president said he is considering the possibility
of meeting with civil organisations before his tenure in office ends (in
two months) to listen to them and resolve their complaints.

WATATU WATIWA MBARONI JIJII DAR ES SALAAM KWA TUHUMA ZA MAUAJI
Jeshi
la Polisi Kanda Maalum ya Dar es Salaam linawashikilia watu watatu kwa
tuhuma za mauaji ya mmiliki wa shule ya Mtakatifu Zion iliyopo maeneo
ya Ununio, Mbezi Beach wilaya ya kipolisi Kawe mkoa wa kipolisi wa
Kinondoni aliyejulikana kwa jina la ANNA D/O MIZINGI, Miaka 48,
Mfanyabiashara, Mkazi wa Boko.Mnamo tarehe 02/02/2015 majira ya saa za mchana mtoa taarifa alifika kituo cha Polisi na kueleza kwamba marehemu ANNA D/O MIZINGI aliondoka tangu tarehe 26/12/2014 majira ya saa 1:00hrs akiwa na mmoja wa watuhumiwa wakitumia gari dogo aina ya Toyota Verosa ambayo namba zake hazikufahamika mara moja iliyokuwa inamilikiwa na marehemu na tangu wakati huo hakuwa ameonekana tena.

KILA SAA MAPENZI…MAPENZI…HIVI HAMNA MENGINE YA KUFANYA?
MAPENZI NIKAMA MDUDU WA PEPO
KILA SAA MAPENZI…MAPENZI…HIVI HAMNA MENGINE YA KUFANYA?
Mpenzi
msomaji wangu, wiki iliyopita utakumbuka nilizungumzia suala la
kuwajali wapenzi wetu. Niligusia suala ya kuwapa nafasi watuchune.
apo
walioshituka kuona kichwa kile cha habari lakini kiukweli sikumaanisha
kuchuna kule ambako wanawake micharuko hufanya hasa kwa waume za watu,
nilimaanisha utayari wa kila mmoja kumsaidia mwenzake kifedha. Mkeo
akitaka pesa ili aende saluni kama zipo, mpe! Akihitaji pesa akanunulie
vipodozi na nguo kama pesa zipo, mpatie.Tusibaniane pale ambapo Mungu ametujaalia uwezo wa kuwafanya wenza wetu waonekane watu mbele ya wenzao. Hili ni kwa mke na mume na hata wapenzi wa kawaida. Baada ya kugusia hayo, nigeukie sasa kwenye mada yangu ya wiki hii.
Ndugu zangu, nimekuwa nikipokea malalamiko mengi kutoka kwa baadhi ya wanawake wakielezea kukerwa kwao na tabia za waume zao kuendekeza sana tendo la ndoa. Wanaume wanaoweka mbele suala hili husimamia kwenye ile pointi kwamba, kufanya mapenzi na wake zao kila wanapojisikia ni haki yao ya ndoa.
Hali hii imewafanya baadhi ya wanawake kufikia hatua ya kuomba talaka kutoka waume zao kutokana na kushindwa kuhimili vishindo. Wanaume wengi huwa wagumu sana kuzitoa talaka na ndiyo maana wakati mwingine wanawake hulazimika kwenda mahakamani kudai talaka japo si wote wanaodai kwa kukimbia tendo la ndoa.
Wanaoendelea kuwepo kwenye ndoa na wanaume wanaohusudu mapenzi, hulazimika wakati mwingine kujifanya wanaumwa ili kuepukana na kero hii. Kimsingi ndoa haiwezi kunoga bila kuwepo suala la kukutana faragha na hili linaelezwa hata kwenye vitabu vya dini.
Tunaponyimana licha ya kuwakera wenza wetu lakini pia tunamkasirisha Mungu ambaye anatutaka tufanye hivyo ili tuzaliane. Hata hivyo, kila kitu kina kipimo chake na kikizidi inakuwa ni tatizo. Wazungu wanasema; ‘Too much is harmful’.
Hili lipo hata kwenye suala la mapenzi. Ukiwa kila wakati utataka kukutana na mpenzi au mwenza wako faragha, hata ile raha iliyotarajiwa haiwezi kupatikana, matokeo yake itakuwa ni karaha. Nalazimika kuandika makala haya kutokana na ukweli kwamba, huko mtaani kuna baadhi ya watu wameliweka sana mbele suala hili.
Yaani wao kila wakati ni mapenzi… mapenzi…mapenzi….Usiku kucha hawataki hata wenzao wapumzike. Ni mchakamchaka mwanzo mwisho. Sasa huku ni kukomoana au kitu gani? Wengine wapenzi wao hawajisikii kufanya tendo hilo kutokana na kuumwa au kutokuwa na hamu.
Hiyo ni hali ya kawaida kwa binadamu lakini utashangaa mwanaume anakuja na kulazimisha mambo. Huku ni kuumizana na raha haiwezi kupatikana kwa njia hii. Katika lile tendo furaha inapatikana pale kila mmoja anapokuwa anajisikia kuwa faragha na mwenzake.
Ni tendo takatifu linalohitaji maandalizi ya kimwili na kifikra kwa hiyo tusipelekeshane. Wakati mwingine tuzikontroo hisia zetu. Katika hili naomba nishauri yafuatayo; Kwanza tujitahidi sana kujitoa kwenye kundi la watu wenye pepo wa ngono. Tukiwa kwenye kundi hili, si kwa mwanaume tu bali hata kwa wanawake ni lazima tutakuwa ni watu wa kuwaza kufanya mapenzi kila wakati.
Tuwe watu wa kuzishughulisha akili zetu kwa kufanya kazi na kuwaza mambo ya kimaendeleo na si kila wakati kutaka kuwa na wapenzi watu faragha. Itaendelea wiki ijayo.
KILA SAA MAPENZI…MAPENZI…HIVI HAMNA MENGINE YA KUFANYA?

Hali hii imewafanya baadhi ya wanawake kufikia hatua ya kuomba talaka kutoka waume zao kutokana na kushindwa kuhimili vishindo. Wanaume wengi huwa wagumu sana kuzitoa talaka na ndiyo maana wakati mwingine wanawake hulazimika kwenda mahakamani kudai talaka japo si wote wanaodai kwa kukimbia tendo la ndoa.
Wanaoendelea kuwepo kwenye ndoa na wanaume wanaohusudu mapenzi, hulazimika wakati mwingine kujifanya wanaumwa ili kuepukana na kero hii. Kimsingi ndoa haiwezi kunoga bila kuwepo suala la kukutana faragha na hili linaelezwa hata kwenye vitabu vya dini.
Tunaponyimana licha ya kuwakera wenza wetu lakini pia tunamkasirisha Mungu ambaye anatutaka tufanye hivyo ili tuzaliane. Hata hivyo, kila kitu kina kipimo chake na kikizidi inakuwa ni tatizo. Wazungu wanasema; ‘Too much is harmful’.
Hili lipo hata kwenye suala la mapenzi. Ukiwa kila wakati utataka kukutana na mpenzi au mwenza wako faragha, hata ile raha iliyotarajiwa haiwezi kupatikana, matokeo yake itakuwa ni karaha. Nalazimika kuandika makala haya kutokana na ukweli kwamba, huko mtaani kuna baadhi ya watu wameliweka sana mbele suala hili.
Yaani wao kila wakati ni mapenzi… mapenzi…mapenzi….Usiku kucha hawataki hata wenzao wapumzike. Ni mchakamchaka mwanzo mwisho. Sasa huku ni kukomoana au kitu gani? Wengine wapenzi wao hawajisikii kufanya tendo hilo kutokana na kuumwa au kutokuwa na hamu.
Hiyo ni hali ya kawaida kwa binadamu lakini utashangaa mwanaume anakuja na kulazimisha mambo. Huku ni kuumizana na raha haiwezi kupatikana kwa njia hii. Katika lile tendo furaha inapatikana pale kila mmoja anapokuwa anajisikia kuwa faragha na mwenzake.
Ni tendo takatifu linalohitaji maandalizi ya kimwili na kifikra kwa hiyo tusipelekeshane. Wakati mwingine tuzikontroo hisia zetu. Katika hili naomba nishauri yafuatayo; Kwanza tujitahidi sana kujitoa kwenye kundi la watu wenye pepo wa ngono. Tukiwa kwenye kundi hili, si kwa mwanaume tu bali hata kwa wanawake ni lazima tutakuwa ni watu wa kuwaza kufanya mapenzi kila wakati.
Tuwe watu wa kuzishughulisha akili zetu kwa kufanya kazi na kuwaza mambo ya kimaendeleo na si kila wakati kutaka kuwa na wapenzi watu faragha. Itaendelea wiki ijayo.
UKIWA HIVI, MAPENZI KWAKO YATA‘RANI’ DUNIA-2
UKIWA HIVI, MAPENZI KWAKO YATA‘RANI’ DUNIA-2
NIJumanne
tena, bado naamini wapenzi wasomaji wangu wa safu hii mpo salama kabisa
kimawazo na kivingine pia! Mada ya leo inatoka wiki iliyopita; ukiwa
hivi, mapenzi kwako yata ‘rani’ dunia!Wiki iliyopita nilizungumza mambo mengi kuhusu mada hii. Nilichambua kuhusu vifo vinavyotokana na mapenzi, ugomvi baina ya wanandugu kisa kikiwa mapenzi na kadhalika.
MSEMO WA MAPENZI KU ‘RANI’ DUNIA
Leo sasa, nataka kupita kwenye neno lenyewe la ukiwa hivi, mapenzi kwako yata ‘rani’ dunia. Huu msemo wa mapenzi yana ‘ran’ dunia upo kwenye wimbo wa Mbongo Fleva, Ali Kiba.
Yeye katika wimbo wake huo alikusudia kusema kuwa, kila kitu duniani kinamalizika na mapenzi. Vilio vya mapenzi vipo vingi sana. Watu wanalizwa na mapenzi. Wanasumbuka na mapenzi. Kwa ujumla, sehemu kubwa ya maisha ya binadamu yanaendeshwa na mapenzi kila kukicha.
WAATHIRIKA WAKUBWA
Niliwahi kuzungumza na mwanasaikolojia mmoja wa hapa nchini, akasema kuwa, watu wanaosumbuliwa na mapenzi duniani kote ni wale wanaotoka kwenye kundi lenye ubongo wa kuhifadhi kumbukumbu mbaya.
Alisema: “Utakuta mtu amemfumania mke wake, anachukua uamuzi wa kuua. Tukio hilo kweli ni zito lakini si kwa kiasi cha kuutoa uhai wa mtu bali mfumaniaji anapokuwa na ubongo wa kuhifadhi kumbukumbu mbaya ndiyo hutokea hali hiyo.
“Huwa haikwepeki. Ni makundi ya watu, wenye ubongo wa kuhifadhi kumbukumbu mbaya wanapokerwa katika uhusiano hufanya lolote wakiamini wanajiweka sawa kiakili. Lakini sivyo,” alisema mwanasaikolojia huyo.
HATARI ZAIDI
Mtu huyo aliendelea kusema kuwa, watu wenye muundo huo akilini ndiyo wanaosumbuka kila kukicha. Na mabaya wanayoyafanya kwa wenza wao kuhusu mapenzi ni suluhisho la muda tu kwani baadaye ni majuto ndani ya nafsi.
“Watu wengi wapo kwenye magereza kutokana na uamuzi waliouchukua kuhusu wapenzi wao. Wengine wamevunja ndoa, kutokana na maamuzi hayohayo. Wengine wanaoa, wanaacha, wanaoa wanaacha. Wengine wanaolewa, wanaachika. Kisa ni huo muundo ndani ya akili zao.
“Hawa
watu bwana, ingawa na wenyewe hawapendi kuwa hivyo lakini ukizaliwa na
muundo huo wa kuhifadhi kumbukumbu mbaya, mapenzi yatasumbua sana
kwako.”HATA NJE YA MAPENZI
Mtaalam huyo aliendelea kusema kuwa, kundi hilo la watu hata nje ya mapenzi huwa hawawezi kuweka kando ya akili jambo baya wakafanya lingine jema.
“Naamini umewahi kusikia kama si wewe kukutokea. Mfano, mtu amekutumia meseji mbaya ya kukutukana. Unashindwa kula, unashindwa kufanya kazi, unashinda na masikitiko na kila mtu unamwambia ulichotendwa. Ukiona upo hivyo, mapenzi kwako yapo hivyohivyo.
KUNDI LENYE FURAHA
Mtaalam aliendelea kusema kuwa, wapo binadamu waliozaliwa na ubongo wa kutupa nje mabaya na kubaki na mazuri tu. Watu hawa, hata wakifumania, hawakurupuki kuua wala kutoa talaka.
“Wapo wanaume walishawafumania wake zao na hawakuchukua hatua yoyote ile. Baadaye wake wenyewe wakaondoka nyumbani kwa kuwa hawajaulizwa chochote na maisha yanaendelea.
“Kundi hili, huwa halisumbuliwi na mapenzi kwa vile lina ubongo wa kutupa kando matatizo. Watu hawa, hata kama ana mpenzi kampenda, wakiachana, anaweza kuumia kwa siku zisizozidi saba. Inakuwa kama jeraha, baada ya muda linapona.
“Watu hawa, hata kama wametumiwa meseji mbaya, wanaweza kusoma, wakimaliza wanafuta na hata kama wapo na marafiki zao hawawaambii na uchangamfu wao huendelea kuwa vilevile,” alisema mtaalam huyo.
JE, UNATAKA TIBA?
Tuonena wiki ijayo ambapo dawa ya kukwepa mapenzi kwako yasi ‘rani’ dunia itapatikana.

Udogo si hoja bali dhamira ya utumishi -Kigwangalla
Udogo si hoja bali dhamira ya utumishi -Kigwangalla
Dk Kigwangalla alikamilisha ziara yake wilayani Mbeya kwa kupata jumla ya wadhamini 30 waliofika kwenye ofisi za CCM wilaya ya Mbeya zilizopo Sabasaba jijini hapa.
Akizungumza na wanachama waliojitokeza kumdhamini, Dk Kigwangalla aliwataka Watanzania kutombeza kwa umri wake na pia uzoefu mdogo alionao katika siasa bali wajikite katika dhamira yake ya kuwatumikia kupitia nafasi ya urais.
Alisema kati ya watia nia waliochukua fomu ndani ya CCM kuwania nafasi ya urais ni makada wanne tu walio na uzoefu mkubwa, lakini na akasisitiza kuwa kiongozi anayetakiwa sasa ni mwenye fikra mpya nguvu mpya na watu wapya.
Mbunge huyo alisema ingawa anatambua kuwa chama kitatengeneza ilani ambayo mgombea atakayepitishwa atainadi pamoja na wagombea wa ngazi zote lakini yeye binafsi anayo nafasi ya kukishauri chama kuhusu vipaumbele vinavyotakiwa kwenye ilani hiyo.
Alivitaja vipaumbele hivyo kuwa ni uchumi ambao kama akipewa ridhaa na hatimaye kuwa Rais atahakikisha anatengeneza uwezo wa wananchi kuweza kujiajiri wenyewe na kipaumbele kikubwa katika ajira kitakuwa kwenye kundi kubwa ili kupunguza pengo la wenye nacho na wasio nacho.
Jambo la pili ni huduma za kijamii kama vile afya, elimu na maji ambazo atawekeza nguvu zaidi katika kuboresha shule na vyuo vya serikali ili kuleta usawa.
Dk Kigwangalla aliongeza kuwa kipaumbele cha tatu ni ataboresha utawala bora kwa kuongeza uwajibikaji kwa watumishi wa umma, kusimamia nidhamu ya kazi kupambana na ubadhirifu, ufisadi na rushwa kwa kuiongezea nguvu Takukuru ili iweze kuwafikisha mahakamani wala rushwa bila kupitia njia zingine.
WALIMU WAPYA WAKAMATWA KENYA.
WALIMU
wawili wapya wa Shule ya Msingi Sang’ang’a kata ya Pemba tarafa ya
Inchugu wilayani Tarime, mkoani Mara wanashikiliwa nchini Kenya kwa kosa
la kuingia nchini humo bila kuwa na kibali.
Walimu hao wawili ambao ni Ahedius Orio kutoka mkoa wa Kilimanjaro na mwenzake Elias Nandi kutoka Lindi wanashikiliwa na polisi nchini Kenya walipokwenda nchini humo kwa matembezi.
Kaimu Kamanda wa Polisi wa Kanda Maalumu ya Tarime/Rorya, Sweetbard Njewike alithibitisha kukamatwa kwa walimu hao wawili wapya wa shule ya msingi Sang’ang’a iliyopo umbali wa kilometa moja kutoka mpakani mwa Tanzania na Kenya.
Kamanda huyo alisema walimu hao katika kipindi hiki cha likizo, mwishoni mwa wiki waliamua kwenda kutembelea kijiji jirani cha Nyametaburo Kipimo ambacho kiko upande wa Kenya.
Alisema wakati wakiwa kijijini hapo walikutwa na Polisi wa nchi hiyo na kuwapeleka, kituo cha Polisi na Uhamiaji cha Isebania kuwahoji ambapo ilidaiwa waliingia nchini humo bila ya kufuata taratibu za kuwa na vibali vya kuingia nchini humo.
“Tumewasiliana na wenzetu wa nchini Kenya ambapo wamedai kuwapeleka mahakamani kujibu shitaka la kuingia nchini humo bila vibali na wanatakiwa ndugu zao ama marafiki wakawadhamini huku juhudi za kuwasaidia walimu hao zinafanyika ili waweze kuachiliwa,” alisema Njewike.
Awali habari zilizotangazwa na vyombo vya habari vya Kenya, ikiwemo televisheni na redio za Citizen zilitangaza kuwa walimu hao walidaiwa kuwakusanya na kuwashawishi vijana wakiwemo kutoka Tanzania na Wakenya kujiunga na vikundi vya kigaidi vya al Shabaab.
Hata hivyo, taarifa hizo zinapingana na hali halisi kwani walimu hao ni wageni wa maeneo hayo na waliingia bila vibali kutokana na mazoea ya wanavijiji vya mipakani mwa Tanzania na Kenya ambapo baadhi ya makabila yaliyopo katika nchi hizi mbili hutembeleana bila ya kuwa na vibali vyoyote vile.
Njewike alisema walimu hao walifuata mkumbo huo wa wakazi wa maeneo hayo na kujikuta wapo mikononi mwa vyombo vya dola, hadi jana bado walimu hao wapo chini ya ulinzi nchini Kenya.
Mwenyekiti wa Chama cha Walimu wilayani Tarime (CWT), Shirikisho Nyagosalima alisema kuwa walimu wilayani hapa wanachangishana fedha ili waende nchini Kenya kwa ajili ya kuwawekea dhamana walimu hao ambao bado ni wageni katika maeneo yao ya kazi.

KUMEKUCHA CCM,MKAPA,MWINYI WAJITOSA "KUCHINJA" MAJINA YA WATAKA URAIS CCM,
Zikiwa zimebaki siku 9 kabla ya kamati kuu ya chama mapinduzi CCM akijakutana kwa ajili ya “kufyeka” majina 37 kati ya 42 ya makada wake waliojitokeza na kuwania Urais ndani ya chama hicho,sasa jukumu lingine lawaangukia viongozi wastaafu wa chama hicho.Anaandika KAROLI VINSENT endelea nayo.Viongozi hao ambao ni marais wastaafu Ali Hassan Mwinyi na Benjamin Mkapa ambao wote kwa pamoja wataunda Baraza la Ushauri la Wazee wa Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) na kufanya kikao wakati wowote wiki hii kujadili mwenendo wa mchakato wa kumpata mgombea urais wa Tanzania kupitia chama hicho.Taarifa kutoka chanzo kimoja ndani ya CCM kimeeleza kuwa Mwinyi, Mkapa na wazee wengine wanaounda Baraza la Wazee la Ushauri, watapasua kichwa wiki hii kujadili mwenendo wa urais ikiwa ni siku chache kabla ya kufikia Julai 2, mwaka huu, inayoonyeshwa katika ratiba ya uchaguzi ya CCM kuwa ndiyo siku ya mwisho ya kurejesha fomu kwa wanaowania urais.
Lengo la kikao cha Wazee ni kujadili kwa kina mwenendo wa mchakato wa kumpata mgombea urais na mwishowe kutoa mapendekezo yao juu ya namna bora ya kumpata mgombea kwa Kamati Kuu ya Halmashauri Kuu ya CCM (CC)
"Kikao hiki ni muhimu kwa hatma ya mchakato wa uchaguzi... baada ya kutofanyika wiki iliyopita, sasa kitafanyika wiki hii, tena wakati wowote kuanzia kesho (leo)," chanzo kilieleza.Mtoa taarifa huyo wa Mtandao huu ameongeza kwa kusema kuwa “hapa sikufichi wazee hawa wanaweza kuja na mapendekezo ambayo yatakuwa magumu kwenye wagombea ambao wamewai kukumbwa na kashfa ya Ufisadi,maana kunawagombea wametengeneza makundi makubwa kwenye chama chetu tena makubwa sana na Busara hizi za wazee zinaweza kuwaweka wagombe wenye Kashfa kubwa”amesemaMakada hao wa CCM ambao wanawakati mgumu ni Waziri mkuu aliyejiuzelu kwenye Kashfa ya Ufisadi kwenye Kampuni tata ya kufua umme ya Richmound,Edward Lowassa pamoja na Waziri mkuu Mizengo Pinda ambaye anathumumiwa kwa kitendo chake cha kufumbia macho uporaji wa Mabilioni ya Fedha kwenye Akaunt ya Tegeta Escrow.

Alipoulizwa na chanzo changu jana iwapo watakutana kaunzia leo, Msekwa hakuwa tayari kueleza kiundani na badala yake alimjibu mwandishi kwa kifupi: "Just pay attention (wee jiweke tayari tu) kama umesikia juu ya kikao chetu."
Kikao cha Baraza la Ushauri la Wazee ni mahususi kwa ajili ya ushauri juu ya watia nia 42 wa urais waliojitokeza kutaka kuteuliwa na CCM kupeperusha bendera yake katika Uchaguzi Mkuu wa Rais, wabunge na madiwani utakaofanyika Oktoba 25, mwaka huu.

Egypt's public prosecutor, Hisham Barakat, has been killed in a bomb attack on his car in Cairo, officials say.
Mr Barakat died of his wounds in hospital after the bombing in the suburb of Heliopolis, a government spokesman told the BBC.
State media said that at least eight others were also hurt in the attack.
Mr Barakat has sent thousands of Islamists for trial since the overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Hundreds of Islamists have been sentenced to death or life imprisonment, as part of a crackdown on supporters of the banned Muslim Brotherhood.
Jihadist militants have meanwhile stepped up their attacks on Egypt's security forces.
Mr Barakat is the most senior figure to have been targeted for assassination since a 2013 attempt on the life of the then-interior minister.
"He [Mr Barakat] has passed away," Justice Minister Ahmed al-Zind told AFP news agency.
The Egyptian state news agency Mena said that he had died after undergoing critical surgery. A medical official at the hospital told the Associated Press that Mr Barakat had received multiple shrapnel wounds to the shoulder, chest and liver.
Monday's attack involved a car bomb or an explosive device placed under a parked car near Mr Barakat's convoy, bomb squad chief Gen Mohamed Gamal told AFP.
The explosion sent black smoke rising over the neighbourhood and set fire to nearby trees. Images from the scene showed several damaged vehicles and bloodstains on the streets.
At least three civilians were killed, according to Mena. Witnesses said that the blast had been strong enough to shatter the windows of nearby homes.
At the hospital, an injured bodyguard said that the explosion had hit Mr Barakat's convoy on the way to the office.
"There was glass flying everywhere. It was as if there was an earthquake," he said, according to AFP.
Mr Barakat had received death threats in the past.
The Egyptian affiliate of the Islamic State militant group recently called for attacks on the judiciary, after the hanging of six militants.

"He [Mr Barakat] has passed away," Justice Minister Ahmed al-Zind told AFP news agency.
The Egyptian state news agency Mena said that he had died after undergoing critical surgery. A medical official at the hospital told the Associated Press that Mr Barakat had received multiple shrapnel wounds to the shoulder, chest and liver.
Monday's attack involved a car bomb or an explosive device placed under a parked car near Mr Barakat's convoy, bomb squad chief Gen Mohamed Gamal told AFP.
The explosion sent black smoke rising over the neighbourhood and set fire to nearby trees. Images from the scene showed several damaged vehicles and bloodstains on the streets.
At least three civilians were killed, according to Mena. Witnesses said that the blast had been strong enough to shatter the windows of nearby homes.
At the hospital, an injured bodyguard said that the explosion had hit Mr Barakat's convoy on the way to the office.
"There was glass flying everywhere. It was as if there was an earthquake," he said, according to AFP.
Mr Barakat had received death threats in the past.
The Egyptian affiliate of the Islamic State militant group recently called for attacks on the judiciary, after the hanging of six militants.

Egypt's public prosecutor, Hisham Barakat, has been killed in a bomb attack on his car in Cairo, officials say.
Mr Barakat died of his wounds in hospital after the bombing in the suburb of Heliopolis, a government spokesman told the BBC.
State media said that at least eight others were also hurt in the attack.
Mr Barakat has sent thousands of Islamists for trial since the overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Hundreds of Islamists have been sentenced to death or life imprisonment, as part of a crackdown on supporters of the banned Muslim Brotherhood.

GENERAL SECRETARY OF CCM KINANA.
CCM
Secretary General,Mr Abdulrahman Kinana, has said that the prime
minister will no longer be chairman of the party’s members of Parliament
caucus as the party is set to make major reforms of its modus operandi.
http://www.dailynews.co.tz/index.php/local-news/46627-kinana-mulls-sidelining-pm-as-ccm-mps-caucus-chair kinana jembeeeee la ccm.
He also said that the culture of
enacting bad laws affecting people will come to an end and that CCM MPs
will have to change their mindset in holding the government accountable.
In what many residents here referred to
as an historic speech and public statement from the CCM high-ranking
leader, Mr Kinana also announced other major changes on how to hold the
government and CCM MPs accountable.
“I’m going to hold a meeting with CCM
MPs as soon as they are elected to the House and will strategize the way
forward, particularly on amending or repelling all bad laws that people
are complaining about,” he told thousands of people at Furahisha
grounds in Mwanza region on Sunday evening.
He also hinted on major transformations
with the National Executive Committee of the party (NEC) that will have
be to be powerful and able to hold the government accountable contrary
to the present practice.
Mr Kinana was sharing his feedback on
the countrywide tour he made for the last 27 months where he said people
heard complaints on the performance of the government in many areas.
The CCM SG was irked by the current
practices where all government officers regards themselves as superior,
adding that superiority complex must now come to an end as they will be
tasked to deliver.
Mr Kinana thanked all who supported him
during the long tour and commended in a special way members of the
media, local government authorities and the party officers.
He commended President Jakaya Kikwete
for remaining supportive whenever he phoned him over the grievance of
the people towards the government performance.
Mentioning few examples, among many in
the list, Mr Kinana said the Head of State immediately okayed for the
Nyarugusu mining site in Geita District to be allocated to small scale
miners as investors failed to develop it as agreed.
Another was on the review of the coffee
price which was an issue in the Lake Zone as well as removal of
cumbersome procedures in reducing costs of doing business particularly
among petty traders and entrepreneurs.
“All pledges made by President Kikwete
during the elections campaigns in 2010 are going on smoothly and will be
completed as promised and the party will make sure they are all on
right track,” he promised.
