basi lililopata ajali likikaguliwaRais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, Mheshimiwa Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete amemtumia salaam za rambirambi Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Arusha Bwana Isidore Leka Shirima kutokana na vifo vya watu 17 waliofariki kwa ajali mbaya ya barabarani iliyotokea jana tarehe 21 Januari, 2009 na kuhusisha basi la abiria Double Coaster liitwalo Mapenzi ya Mungu na Lori la Kampuni ya Bonite Bottlers.
Watu 16 kati ya waliofariki walikuwa abiria wa basi na mmoja utingo wa Lori. Magari hayo yaligongana katika eneo la daraja la mto Nduruma nje kidogo ya mji wa Arusha. Katika ajali hiyo, watu wengine 14 wamejeruhiwa na kulazwa Hospitali ya Mkoa ya Mount Meru, Mjini Arusha. Uchunguzi wa awali wa polisi unaonyesha kuwa lori lililoligonga basi, lilikuwa na hitilafu kwenye breki ambazo zilikatika.
“Kwa masikitiko na huzuni kubwa, napenda kwa dhati ya moyo wangu kukutumia salamu za rambirambi wewe Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Arusha, Bwana Isidore Leka Shirima kutokana na vifo vya wenzetu 16 waliofariki papo hapo baada ya basi la Mapenzi ya Mungu kugongana na Lori la Kampuni ya Bonite Bottlers katika eneo la daraja la mto Nduruma. Kupitia kwako nawapa pole familia, ndugu, jamaa na marafiki wa marehemu na namuomba Mwenyezi Mungu azilaze roho zao mahali pema peponi Amin.
Kwa watu wote waliojeruhiwa katika ajali hiyo, Rais Kikwete amesema, “Natambua maumivu makali mnayoyapata hivi sasa kutokana na ajali mbaya iliyotokea, hivyo namwomba Mwenyezi Mungu awape moyo wa uvumilivu na awawezeshe kupona haraka ili muungane tena na familia, ndugu na jamaa zenu”.
Katika salamu zake za rambirambi, Mheshimiwa Kikwete amesema ajali mfululizo zinazotokea hapa nchini hazina budi kuwekewa mikakati madhubuti ya kudhibitiwa kwani mamlaka husika zina uwezo huo. Amesema ni hivi majuzi tu tarehe 10 Januari, 2009 ambapo ajali nyingine iliyotokea mkoani Tanga ikihusisha basi la abiria la Tashrif na Lori la Magogo, ilipoteza maisha ya raia 27 na wengine 18 kujeruhiwa.
“Hatuwezi kuendelea kuvumilia kutokea kwa ajali hizi wakati mamlaka zenye dhamana ya kusimamia Sheria ya Usalama Barabarani zipo”, ameonya Rais Kikwete na kusisitiza, “tufanye jitihada zote zilizo ndani ya uwezo wetu kupunguza kwa kiwango kikubwa na ikiwezekana kukomesha kabisa ajali hizi za barabarani ambazo katika kipindi kifupi tangu kuanza kwa mwaka mpya, zimeshapoteza maisha ya wenzetu wengi”, amesisitiza Rais Kikwete.

lori lililohusika katika ajali hiyo mbaya si mali ya Bonite Bottlers kama ilivyoripotiwa. lori hilo lilikodiwa tu na kiwanda hicho kupeleka masanduku ya soda.
ReplyDeleteNajua uchumi wa nchi yetu bado sio mzuri lakini solution ya ajali kama hizi ni kuwa highways ambapo barabara inakuwa ni one way upande mmoja na one way upande mwingine. Hii ina maana hakuna mtu utakayepishana naye anayekuja mbele yako. Ni kwamba magari yoote yanelekea upande mmoja.
ReplyDeleteWenzetu huwa wanapohitaji hela za ziada either kwa constructions or maintainace wanatumia kitu kinaitwa Toll Road ambapo magari yanayotumia barabara yanatozwa ushuru kila yanapopita kituo fulani.
I wish serekali za mikoa zingekuwa na nguvu zaidi katika kuboresha mikoa husika kama ni barabara, hospitali, shule, polisi,n.k kama ni kwa kutoza kodi na mengineyo huku serekali kuu na Bunge vikisaidia kwa karibu.
Haya mauaji ya barabarani yataisha lini??? Serikali inachukua majukumu gani??Ama maisha yetu hayana thamani tena?? Unahabari mheshimiwa raisi matrafiki wanahela kushinda mameneja wa benki?? Ninauhakika kisheria baadhi ya malori na mabasi haya meet standard yakueko barabarani lakini ndio hivyo tena yanatutoa roho zaidi ya rambirambi kutoka kwa raisi hamna jingine.
ReplyDeleteNchi yetu inanuka rushwa.Na jambo la maisha sio dili kabisa ama sivyo mheshimiwa Kikwete?? Najua una kazi nyingi basi tuma maafisa wako wapande haya mabasi watakueleza.99% ya maderva ni wavuta bangi na walevi. Matrafiki wanawajua vyema lakini hamna chochote wanacho fanya zaidi ya kupokea rushwa.
Mheshimiwa raisi tunaomba ulivalie njuga ama mpaka afe mtu wako wa karibu?? Wahusika maafisa wa usalama hamna wafanyalo. Tumechoka na ha ya mauaji mbayo serikali ina changia kwa asilimia kubwa.
KWANZA NATOA POLE KWA MAJERUHI NA NDUGU WOTE WA MAREHEMU KWA WAKATI HUU MGUMU.hizi ajali zote kutokana na barabara zetu ndogo na kuwa mbaya na pia madereva nao wanachangia.na kama tunajua eneo barabara ni ndogo sana na basi tuweke speed limit na traffic wawe maeneo hayo mda wote kukamata magari yanoyo kwenda kasi sana.unajua ukiwa kwenye speed ndogo ni rahisi zaidi kuepusha ajali au kupunguza matokeo mabaya kuliko unapokuwa kwenye kasi.
ReplyDeleteMie nashauri serikali hiwaimize sana polisi wa barabarani kufanya kazi zaidi na kama uzembe hupo basi wafukuzwe wapewe ajira watu wengine.na pia waongezewe mshahara hao polisi kidogo hili hiwape moyo wa kufanya kazi. huo ndio mchango wangu.
Mungu atuepushe na ajali hizi za kila siku.
mdau "cha mtu mavi"
Poleni sana wafiwa.Nakubali high ways zetu ni nyembamba tunahitaji double roads lakini kama alivyosema blogger hapo juu na madereva tunachangia.Nimeendesha highways zote za TZ ukiondoa ile ya Moro-Mbeya.Jamani madereva wanakimbiza magari bwana wee acha tu.90% ya madereva tanzania hawahudhurii mafunzo ya kujihami(DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSES),dereva ana-overspeed lakini hafikirii ghafla mbele akikuta semi trailer imeanguka na kuziba barabara au daraja limekatika anafanyaje?Ndiyo maana waweza kukuta 'mzinga'wa gari nne.Yaani nyingine zinajibamiza.
ReplyDeleteWembamba wa Barabara ni kisingizio tu, barabara za ulaya pana lakini zina magari mengi. Mauaji haya yataisha pale tu tutakapowahukumu wanaosabisha vifo kwa ajali za barabarani kama wauaji wengine, yaani wafungwe maisha au kunyongwa.
ReplyDeleteMAGARI MABOVU NI MENGI BARABARANI NA FIKILI ZOEZI LA UKAGUZI WA MAGARI LIFANYWE KWA UMAKINI BADALA YA KUNUNUA STIKA TU KWA MATRAFFIK BARABARANI.
ReplyDeleteCourt grants request by EPA scam case counsel

The Kisutu Resident Magistrate`s Court yesterday granted the defence in a case involving the theft of 207,284.391.44/- from the Bank of Tanzania (BoT)`s External Payment Arrears (EPA) account permission to study testimony on database storage technology cited in connection with the matter.
The permission was granted by the Dar es Salaam court after defence lawyer Mabere Marando requested that they get ample time to go through testimony given by the first prosecution witness.
He said the lawyers could not cross-examine while they were not conversant with the procedure used to store EPA payments on database.
The case is before a panel of three magistrates led by Principal Resident Magistrate Eddy Lyamuya, the others being Ignas Kitusi and John Utamwa.
Prosecution witness Peter Mayunga Noni, now Director of BoT`s Strategic Planning Unit but previously the bank`s Director of Economy and Policy, had earlier told the court that they had formed a database programme that was used to store materials that showed all the EPA debts that were paid or reduced.
He said supervising the programme were two of the accused, BoT Bilateral and Debts Division head Imani Mwakosya and Debts Department deputy director Esther Komu.
He explained that the databases included Paris Club, which was used to store debts that were paid and those that were cut after agreements.
Others were Debt Conversions, Debt Buybacks and Akwera or BoT.
According to Noni, when the programme ended in 2004, a report was prepared showing all the debts paid, reduced and handed over to the central bank and stored in the Bilateral and Commercial Debts Division.
The report came alongside a database with details on debts that were approved but were yet to be paid, he explained, adding that all those who were not paid went to court or approached then governor Daudi Ballali (now deceased) after the programme ended.
Elaborating, he said when the National Bank of Commerce was privatised, the EPA database was moved to BoT ``because the commercial bank`s new owners did not want to involve themselves with verifications``.
However, he pointed out that the government was the central bank`s sole shareholder and BoT was therefore, wholly government-owned.
In the main case, the accused are Rajabu Maranda, Imani Mwakosya, Esther Komu and Boscow Kimela.
They stand charged with the theft of a hefty amount of money from EPA after pretending that General Marketing and Company of India had assigned a debt of 207,284,391.44/- to Rashas Tanzania Ltd. The case resumes today.

Mimi ni mkazi wa eneo hilo la kwa mrefu. Stretch hio kuanzia Kwangulelo mpaka Tengeru ni black spot na ajali nyingi hutokea na watu wamepoteza maisha. Niliwahi kumuomba Waziri Magufuli akiwa Waziri wa Ujenzi kuwa eneo hilo yawekwe matuta. Akaniambia TANROADS kwa sababu za kisheria highways huwa hayawekwi matuta. Nikamuuliza iweje barabara hiyo hiyo ukiingia tu mkoa wa Kilimajaro unakuta matuta hadi Himo? Sikupata jibu. Hayo ndiyo nchi yetu. Double Standards!!!!
ReplyDeleteSipingi rais kutoa rambirambi ila hofu yangu ni kwamba sijaona juhudi za waziwazi za kupunguza au kuondoa kabisa ajali za barabarani ni kama vile tunaishia kwenye rambirambi tu. Wazo la kuwa na double road ni zuri lakini kwa hali yetu ya uchumi na ufisadi uliokithiri itachukuwa muda kwa kweli. Hilo lichukuliwe kama ni mpango wa muda mrefu.
ReplyDeleteZipo njia nyingi tu zisizo na gharama sana za kupunguza ajali. For the last two weeks nimesafiri sana na mabasi.NINASEMA KWA UCHUNGU KABISA LAKINI NDIO UKWELI MTUPU KWAMBA KWA STYLE YA MAGARI YETU NA JINSI TUNAVYOENDESHA AJALI TUNAZOPATA NI KIDOGO MNO. Magari mengi ni mabovu na hayana matairi na madereva karibu wote kama vile ni vichaa kabisa kibaya zaidi haya yote yanajulikana na traffic. Mimi sielewi ni mpaka Mungu ashuke ndio tubadilike sijui. Waziri husika aliwahi kuulizwa kuhusu mauaji ya maalibino akasema ni mauaji ya kawaida. Sijamskia akisema lolote kuhusu ajali huenda anasema kwa vitendo kwamba ni ajali za kawaida kwani so far sijaona kinachofanyika kukabiliana nazo. MUNGU TUSAIDIE TANZANIA.
shida kubwa ni kuwa na mambumbumbu katika usimamizi wa sheria, kamanda wa trafiki wa taifa anachukuliwa yule aliye kaa police muda mrefu, badala ya kuangalia utaalaamu katika fani hiyo, ndio maana anaishia kucheza gwalide kwenye barabara za dar es salaam. hili limekuwa tatizo kubwa kwa viongozi wa kitaifa kusahau majukumu yao ya kitaifa na kuwa busy kuwaingilia watendaji wa dar es salaam, jamani taifa sio dar pekee. jitahidini kuweka mikakati ya taifa zima mnapopatiwa vyeo vya kitaifa, acheni kutafuta sifa za kijinga huko kwenye makamera mengi, mikoani watu wanakufa, mnaishia kutuma salama za rambirambi, shame on you.
ReplyDeleteannon uliemuona magufuli enzi izo,,na ayo matuta sasa leo yanawekwa aya iyo highways vipi??
ReplyDeleteunajua michu vibosile wengi na watoto wao +family never travel with mabasi wanapanda ndege au VX zao so hawajui machungu na upotevu tunaopata wananchi ktk safari izi,Jehovah atatutetea tu.
nobody cares yani kila siku watuma salamu za pole,JAMANIII,za nini hatuzitaki wal'hahi.
yan traffic wanakula pesa umo,afu iyo wiki ya NENDA KWA USALAMA sijui ukaguzi wa magari yani unaenda k*****ni wajaza ile mifomu nk warudi home BILA GARI YANI NASEMA,sasa ndo uchoke mwenyewe,gari nani kaliangalia.
tutafika tu
MICHUZI MBONA HUTUWEKEI HABARI ZA KASHESHE,VIMBWANGA UDSM??YANI SIJAWAI ATA WAZA MAMBO YANGEFIKA APO,KUNA WATOTO WA MASKINI WAMEFIKISHWA ADI KORTINI,ZAIDI YA MADENTI 2000 WAMESHINDWA UDAHILI SIJUI SABABU NI NINI.TUBANDIKIE NEWZ IZO ZA AKILI BWANA SIO OBAMA APA,,,ALA KUKU KULE SIE TWASOTA MATAKO UKU WEKA WATU TUANGUSHE MACHUNGU YETU NAJUA SOME FIGURES ZINASOMA HII BLOGU
Hii ni ajali lakini pia inatokana na uzembe. Gari haziwi inspected?
ReplyDeleteHata kama sio gari la Bonite, Bonite is liable for the damages.
Government is also liable for the damages to the families. Ahsante rais kwa kutoa pole. Hiyo haitoshi na kufoka mpaka hali ikiwa mbaya hakutoshi. You can do better than that that Mr. prez. Labda wote walikuwa kwenye speed kali. Ni hatari sana.
Marekani wanaheshimu sana barabara....hukuti mtu anaendesha kama amechanganyikiwa au kama anapeleka mjamzito aliye labor kujifungua.Wanaheshimu watembea kwa miguu sana yani...sijapatakuona heshima ya mwenda kwa miguu kama hii.
ReplyDeletePia Tanzania wengi wanaendesha under the influence,unakuta mtu kalewa au kavuta bangi ndio anaanza kuendesha hapo anahatarisha maisha ya wengi barabani.
Napenda kutoa pole kwa wafiwa. Ningependa kuchangia kuhusu mada hii ya ongezeko la ajali barabarani. Kwanza nashangaa kuona serikali ikikimbilia kutoa pole/salamu za rambirambi na hatuoni tangazo au mkakati wowote wanaotoa kwa wananchi juu ya kukabiliana na ajali hizi. Nilifikiri wizara au watu husika wangekuwa wakwanza kutoa tamko juu ya hatua watakazochukua maana tatizo halijatokea kwa ajali tu ya arusha. Tayari kwa kuanza tu mwaka huu 2009 ajali nyingi zimeshatokea. Mimi kwa maoni yangu nafikiri rushwa kwa askari wa barabarani inachangia sana na serikali inaonekana kulifumbia macho swala hili. Ukiangalia wakati magari yalipokuwa yanakaguliwa yaani wazi wazi unaenda kununua sticker na kubandika kwenye gari bila ya ukaguzi wowote. Tena hao hao askari wa usalama barabarani (wafanyakazi wa serikali) ndio wanauza sticker hizo. Utakuta pia askari wa barabarani anakamata basi au gari linaloenda kasi kupita mwendo uliwekwa kwenye barabara fulani lakini anachukua kidogo dogo na kuacha lile gari liendelee. Pia nilifikiri kungekuwepo na database ya leseni zote zilizotolewa ambazo pia zingekuwa na maelezo mengine ya dereva husika halafu kungekuwa na mfumo wa point kwa kila kosa fulani analofanya dereva. Na dereva akifikia kiwango fulani cha points za makosa basi ananyang'anywa leseni kwa muda fulani kama miaka miwili. Pia asipofanya kosa lolote kwa muda fulani basi point za makosa zinapungua. Huu mfumo unatumika Ulaya pia. Wakati mwingine ajali zinachangiwa na barabara zenyewe labda pia kungekuwa na database ya ajali na sababu na kama ikitokea eneo fulani kusababisha ajali nyingi kutokana na barabara basi tanroad warekebishe kisehemu kile cha barabara labda ni kona kali sana n.k Pia serikali isikilize vilio vya wananchi na sio kukaa kimya tu. Viongozi muwe wabunifu jamani.... fikirieni leo tunatatizo fulani, je tutatatuaje?
