It is a cyber PR war aiming at bad mouth a competitor, in this case Tanzania. It is all about the new emerging tourism competition. By reading between the lines I have some questions to ask if this incident really happened or it is just a fake incident aiming at tarnishing the good image of Tanzania: Ray says was suppose to be in Tanzania for a research, well a good, which organization sent him to conduct that research? What is the thesis of the research I mean what is research all about? If he knows the importance of registering at the embassy why didnt he use or ask the American embassy in Dar es Salaam to make a follow up on his case?
Why didnt he complain to the ambassador who could have raised the issue to the appropriate Tanzanian authorities. The embassy would have made a follow-up and make sure his vehicle is cleared from the port and know what really happened to his luggages.
Ray is trying to exaggarate the albino incidences by saying that, 'I am glad they did not confuse me with Albino.' This means that in Tanzania the wazungu are even the targeted by the barbarians who kill alibinos because the they think the Wazungu are also Albinos! And this is not true. Yes, it is true that Albinos are being killed in Tanzania. But the fact is that the government is working hard to arrest the sitution.
Ray says: 'Please advise any potential traveler to Tanzania to look for alternative country to visit, and if possible pass the message to the State Department as a warning to other Americans intending to visit this poor and corrupt country.' Which alternaltive country does he refer to in East Africa? Why doesnt he pass the message by himself to the State Department? He is an America, he is free to tell the his government what he experienced in Tanzania. Why is he asking Lisa to pass the message.
The State Depertment has a website, email and free telephone contacts why didn't he use these facilities provided by this appropriate authority raise his concerns? I am not saying that he shouldn't have told his Lisa. Why the email he sent doesnt have email addresses, the sender's and receiver's? What I can say is that this email represent the PR-cyberwar, even propaganda, which is going on all over the world to win business and sphere of influences.
Tanzania is not as corrupt as Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia nor DRC. Visit Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index of 2006
or year 2008
room/in_focus/2008/cpi2008/cpi_2008_table
Mysterious disappearance of luggages is everywhere in the world. It is the same story at Heathrow, Frankfurt and JFK in New York. Tanzania has no exception. Why didnt he contact and involve his airline to track his luggage? Why take the issue in his own hands to go to the airport authority and then to police? What kind of image does he want to portray about Tanzania when he says: 'Please, be careful and only travel to Tanzania when there is need and not to visit and do not carry any valuable. As soon as you arrive, register with the American Embassy'
Yes, there thugs and thieves in Tanzania as they are in New York, London and Washington. Nothing new. If you compare Tanzania and Kenya for example in terms of thugs we have lowest rate. Dar es Salaam is more peaceful than Nairobi. Ray says: 'They don’t even fucken know that we are trying to help them. I pity the African continent and her people,'
Does Ray really know the history of what most of the Rich western countries have done to Africa? From Angola to DRC-Zaire, From Lumumba to Nkurumah. From Mobutu to Savimbi? The Apartheid in South Africa, Structural Adjustment programmes, debt crisis, the current economic recession, the list goes on and on.
Yes, there are some changes taking place in terms of aid and bilateral assistance and we really welcome that. We hope that these changes will benefit Africa because it too early to comment/judge on how genuine/sincere they are due to the fact the rich world including the emerging economies like China, India and Brazil are now looking for the strategic areas of influence.
The areas to get raw materials, land for farming, markets, investment and damp their surplus labour in the name of foreign aid, investment and free trade. The question here is who is benefiting more from this new ways of exproitation? They are not trying to help us. They are helping themselves for their survival.
Please Ray stop using this dirty Cyber PR against Tanzania.
Mungu Ibariki Tanzania

Thanx mdau for the analysis.wht u have writen there is actually true, if at all this person Ray man do exist it cud be wise if he cud answer the questions u asked especially ni research gani alikuja fanya na kwa naiaba ya shirika gani date aliyofika na ndege gani yaani alitua nayo, kwa kifupi evidence ya yote yaliyompata ikiwezekana ili wahusika waweze kuchukuliwa sheria.
ReplyDeleteKama hili swala ni la kweli i jus hope wahusika hasa wa utalii wapo na wanayaoana na kuyasoma haya kwani this has in great extent tainted our already flopping reputation.
Lakini hata hivyo tuseme ukweli jamani haya mambo (most of)hayapo hapo kwetu?juzi tu watu walilalamikia kuibiwa mizigo yao airport so nadhani it is high time thingz needs to change jamani njaa haiishi tujifunze kuwajibika na kutenda kazi kimaadili.

God bless our president JK who never stops smiling :)
I agree with you 100% mdau NH. Everything about that e-mail is fishy....from the language and grammar used by a so called researcher to the details enclosed within the message. Throughout history, the white man has taken so much more than they have given, all in the pretense of aid.
ReplyDeleteI applaud your well written piece.

TATIZO LETU KUTETEA,WEWE NENDA AIRPOT KESHO SAA NNE MPAKA SAA5 WAKATI KLM INAFIKA,UONE WATU WANGAPI WANALIZWA EAPOT YA DAR.
ReplyDeleteWoooow!!!! wewe mdau usitetee uizi na utapeli uliopo TZ, na tena wacha kutoa attacks za kipuzi kwa huyo mzungu aliye ibiwa na kutapeliwa! sasa unatetea uporaji na udokozi kwanini? That was his personal experience and the mzungu has every right to speak his mind out, now if u dont like it that would be your problem and not his (mzungus), wewe unasema mzungu anadanganya how do u know that for sure? anahaja gani ya kudanganya? HILO NDO TATIZO LETU WABONGO/WATANZANIA HATUKUBALIGI KUAMBIWA UKWELI, tunachojua ni kubisha na kuja juu ka kifuu cha nazi..serikali itatusaidiaje wakati wananchi wenyewe tunakataa kuna tatizo la uizi, ulaghai na ruswa TZ...this is a critical issue and it needs to be addressed period and of the story...MUNGU IBARIKI TZ na UBARIKI WANANCHI WA TZ kuwa wakweli na uwazi..Amen.
ReplyDeleteWewe Mdau NH unaboa na wewe, mbona mnapenda kuficha uchafu wa Tanzania eti kisa mtaharibu jina zuri la Tanzania, nyinyi ndio mnawafanya wafanyakazi wabovu wa aiports, ports, na sehemu nyingine kibao wazidi kuzembea na rushwa kuendelea.
ReplyDeleteWatanzania hatupendi kuambia ukweli, na hii ndio sababu tunashindwa.
ReplyDeleteWewe uliyedai mabegi yanapotea at JFK, jee JFK unaweza kulipia ushuru zawadi? Jee JKF unaweza kuzungushwa kisa wewe ni mweusi?
Ukweli ni kwamba Tanzania kuna kero nyingi.... na watu kama nyinyi ambao kila kitu mnaonea aibu ndio mnatuangusha.... I am sick and tired of uzalendo wa kipuzi.
Mdau wa Houston
Well said Mdau NH.
ReplyDeleteJust point to note:
We are heading to 2010 World Cup final next summer. it is obvious many people from all over the world will be closer to South Africa, places like Tanzania, Kenya, Botswana, Mozambique etc. Among those countries, Tanzania is more favorable to receive a good number 2010 World Cup deals.
Kenya Airways and Air Botswana are having partnership in the route of Nairobi - Gaborone - Nairobi.
This is a strategy for Kenya to show that it is closer to SA than Tanzania by working together with Botswana.
Therefore, as the days countdown we will hear more than what "Ray" says.
Mdau New England.
ReplyDeleteIf your luggages mysterious vanish
at Frankfurt,Heathrow or JFK you

Kijana mi nakupongeza kwa ujumbe wako na nina wasiwasi na huyo mtu aiyesema hayo si mmarekani bari watani wetu wa jadi kenya kwani wanaona twataka kuwapiga gepi hivyo watuchafulie jina
ReplyDeleteHongera kijan safi saana
Wewe Mdau uliyeandika hii barua..acha kukimbia kivuli chako!
ReplyDeleteTanzania is my country. I love it so much. Wewe usifikirie unavyoandika hapa..ndo unaonyesha mapenzi mema kwa taifa lako..tena wewe ndo unaifaya bongo izidi kuchoka! Ukweli usemwe hakuna kitu kipya alichokiandika bwana Ray. Hapa watu mnajaribu kuwa defensive tuu kwa sababu mmeshikwa pabaya. Tanzania stinks of corruption na ufisadi. Inaonekana wewe ni kijana wa fisadi ambaye mambo yake yote yako Tambarare..huijui Real Tanzania. Umeshawahi kuibiwa ukaenda polisi wewe? I tried once..It was a nightmare!
Kwamba jamaa angeenda embassy..? are you serious? wewe unafikiri kila kitu utaenda embassy? hivi ni vitu ambavyo inabidi vishughulikiwe na polisi. Wewe mdau unakaa wapi? kama hujui..wenzetu wanaithamini polisi kama chombo cha haki na kulinda mwananchi na mali zake, ndo maana mtu akipata shida anakimbilia polisi au anapiga simu..suggestions yako ya kwenda embassy..et akaongee na balozi.. ni zile zile tabia za mafisadi..baada ya kufuata sheria..yeye anatafuta shortcut kuongea na "wakubwa"..Bongo..polisi ni kulinda mafisadi na familia zao.
Watanzania tuache longo longo. Tunachotakiwa kufanya ni kujiuliza what went wrong with our country..tulikosea wapi? siyo kudhani kwamba tunaonewa!
Mdau ulivyo na akili..jamaa anongea mambo legit..eti unauliza topic ya Thesis? Are you serious? Mi ndo maana nasema Tanzanians we are just hopeless bunch of people..tunapenda kupakwa mafuta kwa mgongo wa chupa..unataka usifiwe kwa kila kitu yet nothing you have done?. Au ungetaka aseme TZ ni nchi nzuri yenye amani na mshikamano kama Makamba?
Tukae tufikiri kwa kina. Not everybody is against us. Tuache huu usanii wa siasa za akina Makamba na wenzake...wa kutakaa ku-shift blame kwa kila jambo.
Again, kwangu mimi alichokiandika bwana Ray hakuna hata chembe ya uongo..maana nimesha experience yote hayo.
Ni sisi tuu kukaa na kujirudi kwa haya mambo yanayotendeka. Tuache kutaka kupewa sifa pale ambapo hatustahili. Ni wale wale..eti TZ is the island of peace..wapi..bongo sisi ni waoga na nidhamu zetu ni za woga woga tuu. It pains lakini ukweli ndo huo.
Tujue kwamba system ya bongo imechoka na mafisadi wameshika hatamu kila sehemu. Wadau kama hawa wanaojifanya kuitetea TZ ni wanafiki to say the least au wanaishi ughaibuni ambako bongo wanaisoma kwenye blog ya michuzi tuu.
Wako,
Muumini wa ahadi za mwanatanu.
Mdau NH thank you very much for sharing your opinion/s with us.Let me be cristal clear here, I am a Tanzanian who resides abroad and happen to know and experience more than what Ray when through.I do visit TZ on a yearly basis,and I do import through our main port,Dar es salaam.Mind you, not for business but for personal use.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Ray`s message,it`s sad that he went that far to write such a hash message concerning our country.Whether he is telling the truth or not, there were other ways of passing the message.The one he used was a bit over the line, I agree with that.
That does not hide the truth that in Tz the situation at our ports and aiports expecially Dar can not go without being noticed.Wananchi have compalained out these issues and seems to me that nobody does care. The reason is that the top shorts are not faced with the same happenings like the wananchi wa kawaida.
Back to your point,does it supprise you to hear more or similar complains? Are you among the top shorts? What makes you come out of your hole to defend the status quo? Is it because the so called mzungu wrote that? Now it might get to the higher places and actions be taken, is that so? Normal wananchi complains really doesn`t matter to you right? If you were such a good nationalist, wouldn`t it be more helpful if you had come out of the hole when people statrted to cry out loudly,I don`t know how many years ago? Is it that you feel so bad that it happened to a mzungu? Come on brother,be real to this matter,we are being crucified out there for god`s sake.
Have you come through at the arrival desk recently at Dar aiport? May be you always go through VIP lounge.We citizen are more inspected and harrased than those wazungu`s!! Wazungu`s go free at the customs desks no matter how many luggages they do carry. Try that to a mwananchi.The goverment, or may be the induvidual, at her/his own will must make your first day at home feels like hell!! Your only mistake is to try as hard as you can to bring whatever little something you could afford to your loved ones.
Trying to compare similar incidents which are or may be happening in other countries does not make any sense at all.If it is a vice, that stuff should not be allowed to happen anywhere regardless of the geographical location or the level of development of the said place.Mentioning criminal activities that are found in USA and UK in making comparison to our country is insane.Does it make you comfortable,or less guilt? if I may ask. What other characters or acts, or other good governance do you compare? What I`m seing here is you are just picking those which fit your interests and leave the others.Do you thing about how those countries do fight corruption and how their Govs. serve their people? Have you tried to compare that and apply it in Tz?
I`m wondering who`s interests your serving and who sent you to do so,under what costs.Otherwise, if you don`t have none to say,just craw back to whatever hole you came from and be quite my dear one.
Denying these serious allegations and worse trying to come up with some childish comparison does not serve well this corrupt country and its citizens.
If you havent` experience these types of stuff in your own country, let us who are at the receiving end of these suckers feel the pain !!
AT LAST YUPO MWENZETU ANAONA MAPAMBANO YANAYOFANYWA DHIDI YA NCHI YETU NA KUYACHAMBUA. AHSANTE SANA NH. UMEFANYA KAZI NZURI. KINACHOSIKITISHA NI NDUGU ZETU AMBAO UZALENDO WAO NI SIFURI.

LABDA IKIWA WEWE UNATAKA KUVUSHA VITU VISIVYO HALALI UKAANZA KUOMBA MSAADA, LABDA SIJUI. KWA KUWA SIONI HOW ONE WOULD BE SINGLED OUT NA KUOMBWA RUSHWA!!

KAJARIBU KASHINDWA KWA KUWA SIKU HIZI TRA NA SERIKALI WAKO MACHO BASI KAANZA KILIO CHA TAPELI ALIYEFUMANIWA!! NA ASIJE TANZANIA KABISA MAANA HATUTAKI MATAPELI MA MAFISADI WA AINA HIYO. TUMEWASTUKIA NA RESEARCH ZA UWONGO. UJASUSI MTUPU.
ReplyDeleteSiku hizi kila mtu anataka awe na post yake kwenye blogu ya jamii.!!!
ReplyDeleteWewe nataka kukubali uchambuzi wako lakini nasita kidogo, Tanzania vitu vilivyoandikwa na huyo Mzungu vipo na vinatokea. Ningekubaliana na wewe asilimia mia kama hayo matokeo yasingekuwa yanafanyika Tanzania. Hata kama ni nchi ya jirani inataka kuchafua jina Tanzania lakini amechafua kwenye ukweli. Basi tubadilike ili tuzibe mwanya wa kuchafuliwa kwenye ukweli.
ReplyDeletehata kama aliyetuma post ya kwanza si mmarekani je haya mambo tz yapo hayapo? au ndo mpk walete ushahidi tume ikachunguze? polisi airport kumeoza hata jalada la kufungua kesi unanunua hiyo ya kuombwa hela ya mafuta au kuambiwa gari haina mafuta ni kweli 110%
ReplyDeletenafikiri kama kweli wewe ni mzalendo hii ndio njia pekee ya kuikomboa nchi yako(kufichua maovu)na si kutetea uchafu eti kisa jina.
jichagulie kundi hapo chini
source mwananchi Date::8/17/2009
"Makamba chupuchupu kung'olewa" na Habel Chidawali, Dodoma'Kwa mujibu wa habari hizo, kundi moja lilikuwa likitaka wale wote wanaozungumza tuhuma za ufisadi dhidi ya baadhi ya wanachama wa CCM, wawajibishwe kwa madai kuwa wanakichafua chama, wakati kundi jingine linadai kuwa wanaotuhumiwa kwa ufisadi, watimuliwe kwa madai kuwa wanakichafua chama.'
Hey man,I think Tanzania should handle its problems alone and keep Kenya,Uganda or even Rwanda out. It is true there's GRAND CORRUPTION in Tanzania,Corruption in Kenya but the one in TZ is just at Professional level....no wonder they Tanzanians have even stopped working to steal from Tourists...so sad.we know of Richmond,BOT,EPA and many scandals where the country has lost billions of shillings in unscruplous deals.What does the government do?they have instead passed on the batton of corruption to the man on the ground. poor Tanzania,Ray has his right of speech.Its about time,you lazy people changed!
ReplyDeletehaya mambo anayolalamikia mzungu si ndiyo tunalalamika humu kila siku? sasa sijui uwongo uko wapi hapo?hii nchi rushwa na wizi ni balaa na wala sio Airport na bandari tuu ni karibu sehemu zote...tuache longo longo na kutetea hawa mafisadi maana mizigo bandarini tumeibiwa sana na hao polisi ni majambazi tuu,yaani tukiwa na akili ya huyu mdau ya kutetea huu upuuzi tumekwisha...hata kama ni cyber war lakini aliyosema yana kila ukweli na yamewakuta wengi tuu na ushahidi ni humu ndani maana kuna topic nyingi sana za kulalamikia kuanzia wizi wa posta,TRA na dhuluma za polisi!
ReplyDeleteNYIE MNAOTETEA UOZO, UFISADI UZEMBE, FANYA RESEARCH KIDOGO TU.
ReplyDelete1. JE TRA HAKUNA UZEMBE NA RUSHWA, HAWA UPLIFT INVOICE ILI ULALAMIKE UTOE RUSHWA? KAMA WAKO FAIR MBONA CONSIGNMENTS ZA WATOA RUSHWA ZINAPITA HARAKA NA KWA BEI CHEE? MBONA USHURU WA GARI AIN AHIYO HIYO MOJA MWINGINE ANALIPA MILLION 10, MWINGINE MILLION 5 (SIO RUSHWA?)
2. JE UKIENDA POLISI KURIPOTI ISSUE HAKUNA UZEMBE, KUZUNGUSHWA NA RUSHWA? TRAFFIC JE HAKUNA RUSHWA NA KUZUNGUSHWA?
3. JE MAHAKAMANI HAKUJAJAA RUSHWA?
4. AIRPORT HAKUNA WIZI WA MIZIGO NA RUSHWA?
5. JE PORT YA DAR HAKUNA URASIMU UNAOSABABISHA WATU KUCHELEWA KUTOA MIZIGO YAKO NA KUSABABISHA KULIPA STORAGE KUBWA?
6. TUAMBIANE UKWELI, PROCESS YA KUPATA HATI AU OFFE RYA PLOT/NYUMBA ARDHI HAINA UZEMBE, URASIMU NA RUSHWA?
HAYA MASWALI YAMELENGA SEHEMU CHACHE TU, LAKINI SYSTEMS ZOTE ZA HUDUMA ZIMEOZA, NA HII NI KWA SABABU UONGOZI MZIMA WA NCHI, BOT etc KOTE PAMEOZA, TUTAFANYAJE KAMA HATUWEZI KUAMBIANA UKWELI? UKISEMA UO VERHAUL SYSTEM, NANI ATAKAYEFANYA HILO ZOEZI ALIYE MSAFI? KILA MTU ANAOGOPA KIVULI CHAKE, LILILO BAKI NI KUSEMANA, NA HAO WAGENI ACHA WATUSEME LABDA TUTAONA AIBU
Hakuna anayetetea rushwa, ufisadi, urasimu au uzembe wa aina yeyote kazini na nchini. Kubwa ni sisi kukielewa kile kilichoandikwa katika barua pepe ya Ray kwa undani wake na mukhtadha wake na makusudio yake nini. Ukiangalia kwa juu juu tu utamwona Ray akiwasilisha picha ya yale yatokeayo Tanzania kila leo na kwamba ni mwathirika wa mfumo huduma za jamii na serikali ambao katika maadishi yake anaonyesha umeoza! Lakini ukweli wake si hivyo hata kidogo. Ray analo lengo lingine - lengo la kuichafua sura ya Tanzania katika uwanja wa kimataifa ili afaidike kibiashara. Anafikia hatua ya kutudharau sana kuwa hatujui tofauti kati watu wenye ulemavu wa ngozi na wazungu na kuyafanya mauwaji ya watu wenye ulemavu wa ngozi kama suala la watanzania wote. Nawaomba sana muwe makini na wavurugaji kama Ray. Wanaitwa Spin Dr. kazi yao ni kuharibu, kudhoofisha, na hata kuuwa mwonekano, sura na sifa za nchi, makapuni na hata watu binafsi. Mbinu zao ni kutumia njia hii ya Ray. Kuweni makini. Pamoja na kashifa za EPA, Richmond na nyingine Tanzania bado iko katika utawala bora na haki za binadamu ukilinganisha na majirani zetu na nchi nyingine nyingi za Afrika na 'Ulimwengu wa Tatu'. Serikali chini Rais Jakaya Kikwete inafanyakazi kubwa ya kupambana na Rushwa na Ufisadi, urasimu na ukiritimba. Ni kazi ngumu na mafanikio ya mapambano hayo yapo. Na huu ndio ukweli. NH.

ReplyDeletePeople understand what Mdau NH has said. He did not deny the fact that there is corruption in Dar, be it at the airport, the police stations or the sea port (Bandarini). Read this white guys e-mail between the lines...for example he says he was glad we did not confuse him with Albin0...what does this have to do with him being asked for rushwa?!?!? kama si kuona sisi wote ni wapumbavu tu? Watu wanasema it doesn't matter kama ni ukweli au la, rushwa na wizi upo ...of course it matters, when he makes us (Tanzanians) all to be stupid. I repeat corruption is rife in Dar, at the airport i myself have been asked for some money, Bandarini and at police stations it's the same, but if you have a story to tell, say the truth, don't fabricate it with lies to make it more dramatic, and don't assume we're all stupid. Who the hell confuses an albino with a white man?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteAsante sana ndugu NH. Naona baada ya watu kukuchokonoa vizuri sasa umeweka wazi ni interests za nani una present hapa. Si za wananchi ila ni za uongozi uliopo na bila shaka ni kwa faida yako mwenyewe pia. Hii inaonekana katika majibu yako kuwa " Serikali chini ya Rais Jakaya Kikwete inafanyakazi kubwa ya kupambana na rushwa na ufisadi,urasimu na ukiritimba" KAma unaweza kuandika hivyo, je ukiwa na huyo mh. what else do you do kumsifia na kuuficha ukweli ? Wewe fichwa magonjwa tu, mwisho wake utauona. Go tell that kwa wale ndugu zao waliouliowa innocently na Polisi. Au ndiyo umekunywa mji ya kijani? Umeshajaribu kuchanganya kijani na nyekundu ya damu uone ni jinsi gani product yake inachukiza machoni?
ReplyDeleteLabda kwa article hiyo hapo juu unaweza kupata chakula zaidi kwa ajili yako na familio yako,lakini kwa watanzania hujatusaidia chochote kuondokana na huo upuuzi unautuganda kama ruba.
Huu ndio upuuzi wa kila siku unaoendelea Tanzania. Haya ndio yale mambo ya zidumu "fikira" za mwenyekiti wakati fikira zenyewe ni shudu.
ReplyDeleteRushwa, wizi na ubadhirifu ni vitu ambavyo vimezungumziwa hapa kwa Michuzi kwa muda mrefu sasa. Kwa sababu kaandika mzungu basi imekuwa nongwa eti anatuchafulia jina letu. Na hawa watanzania waliokuwa wakilalamika kwa kipindi chote hiki hawachafui jina la nchi?
Tuache tabia ya kukumbatia upuuzi, ubadhirifu, ukiritimba na ujinga uliokithiri katika nchi yetu.
Ni wazi kuwa kuna tatizo kubwa sana Tanzania lakini watu kama wewe wameamua kufunika vichwa vyao kwenye mchanga kama mbuni. Kwa sababu inaonekana serikali imekosa suluhisho la haya matatizo labda tujadili na kupendekeza na hatimaye kufuatilia utelekezwaji wa mapendekezo hayo na sio kulumbana kitu ambacho ni wazi na watu wengi (wewe si mmoja wao) wanakijua.
Mi nadhani wadau kuna mgongano wa mitazamo kuhusiana na hili suala la huyu mzungu.Kwanza kabisa nampa pole Ray kwa yote yaliyomsibu.Ni haki ya msingi kwa binadamu yoyote kuelezea hisia zake pindi anapopatwa na masahibu kama yaliyompata Ray.Hakuna Mtanzania yoyote achilia mbali mbali mafisadi atakae bisha ya kwamba hayo yaliyoongelewa na Ray hayapo au hayajatokea katika maeneo mengi ya huduma za jamii ndani ya nchi yetu.Basically, you don need a private eye to suss out these things.Even the dogs in the streets know this.
ReplyDeleteNi mengi yametokea na yatazidi kutokea kama hatutachukua hatua za makusudi kudhibiti na kukomesha uoza huo unaoendelea kuzitafuta idara nyeti za huduma za jamii.Umefika wakati sasa "TANZANIANS WOKE UP AND SMELLED THE COFFEE"
Kikubwa hapa ni kumsaidia huyu mzungu kwenye mapambano against these corruptible Tanzanians.It would be insane defending the stuff that keeps knocking your economy down.They say "IF IT SMELLS LIKE SHIT IT MUST BE SHIT"
Why cant we speak surely? Lets stay true folks!
However, Ray hakupaswa hata kidogo kuanza kuwashawishi wageni wasije kutembea nchini mwetu.Let foreigners keep flocking our poor country and probably they'll some time in the future change the minds of the so called mafisadi.

Jamaa huyu mchafuzi kweli anasema eti "The only thing I can assure you is that, I will never set my foot in that country, and will advice anybody planning to visit Tanzania to refrain from doing so."
ReplyDeleteNa wengi wetu tunashabikia tuuuuuuuu kwamba Tanzania si mahala pa kwenda. Ushabiki huu hautikishi mbali. I wish ningelijua jina lako kamili mdau NH nikupongeze kwa kuliona hili na kulijibu au nawe umeamua ukae kwenye Cyber Anonymity? Tanzania inawahitaji watu kama nyinyi wenye kuyaona mambo katika upana wake.
huyu mzungu anatakiwa kulaaniwa iwezekanavyo. anawezaje kuja nchini mwetu na kukashifu nchi yetu namna hii. nyie vibaraka wote mlio muunga mkono sijui niwaambie nini. wakati wa wazungu kuja africa na kuchapa watu viboko umeisha. hata kama vitu vyake viliibiwa hakua na haki ya kuitukana nchi nzima. uko kwao mbona vitu vinaibiwa airports kila wakati. mtu racist kama huyu hatumuitaji. kwani ni msaada gani alikuwa anataka kutuletea ila ni kuja kutuibia tu. kama yeye hataki kuja tanzania kuna wazungu wengine wengi wanataka kuja. asitubabaishe kuna watu chungu nzima wanataka kuja africa kujitajirisha. sasa ni wakati wa wazungu kujua kua waafrica wameamka na sio wakati ule tulikuwa tuna danganywa na shanga.
ReplyDeleteMie nilishuka na KLM wakaniibia Camera, gold zangu na vingi vingine. Kwenda ofisini KLM kuclaim waliniona kama mbwa anayetaka mifupa. Nikasema Inshallah uzima ninao wakae tu na vitu vyangu.
ReplyDeleteMatatizo yetu tutayatatua sisi wenyewe, lakini nchi na wananchi wake wanaposhambuliwa na mgeni kutoka nje ni lazima tusimame pamoja kuilinda nchi hii na watu wake.
ReplyDeleteTOGETHER WE STAND, BRAVO MDAU NH!
Mungu ibariki Tanzania
Ili kutatua tatizo lazima ukubali kwanza uwepo wa tatizo. Inaonekana bado tupo kwenye hatua ya "denial".
ReplyDeleteMr. Mdau, be real dude! What Ray worte is no fabrication, these things are happening and probably at a more serious level than he explained. Let me give you an example, a friend recently bought a truck from Japan for us$25,000 roughly. Guess what, when he shipped to Dar, about four months ago, he was told that he had to pay something like 45% of the purchase price as tax or whatever other nonsense they told him. Now come to think about it. For him to get the damn thing out, he has to spend over usd 35,000. He was advised how he can avoid paying that exorbitant nonsensical cost if only he played along with the TRA officials or whoever the hell handles that stuff. He refused and decided to play hardball with them, and his truck is still collecting port charges each day!Tanzanians are using the Mombasa port because of the nonsense that goes on at the Dar port and the whole broken system. What I am trying to tell you is stop hiding your head in sand while your entire body is exposed. A little bit of ackowledging our shortcomings will go a long way towards changing things for the better. You live in NH, you should know better!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - Mon Aug 17, 07:03:00 PM, elewa kinachoongelewa si kukurupuka tu na kurudiarudia au kujikanyaga tu. Rushwa na ufisadi upo Tanzania kama ilivyo duniani kote. Na kazi inafanyika kuiidhibiti hali hii. Angalia kwa makini anayosema huyo mzungu wako bila shaka utakubali kuwa kuna uzushi na uchafuzi mbaya. Watu kama wewe ni hatari kwa taifa. huna tofauti na waliosaini mikataba mibovu. Kwa nini walisaini mikataba mibovu ni kwa sababu 'they didn't read between the lines'. Kitu anachosema NH si kukataa kuwa kuna rushwa bali ni uchafuzi wa jina la Tanzania. Naogopa nchi isije ikaanguka mikononi mwa watu wasio makini kama wewe.
ReplyDeleteResearch siyo siri ndugu yangu ni kitu cha wazi.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
ReplyDeleteWe are american residents in Tanzania. We had reservation for 3 nights at Mbuyuni Beach village from July 16-19 2009. We stayed one night and the accommodations were horrible: bad beds, dirty bathroom, toilet didn't flush, fridge didn't work, and the beach is not safe to swim because of rocks. But the worse is that after we canceled and decided to walk down the beach to a better hotel at 9:30 am, we were violently attacked by two men with machetes. One put his machetes to my wife's neck and the other to my face in front of our 5 year old son! They took everything we had including our passports, money, and valuables mounting to almost $2000!! But worse is that we felt that our lives were threatened and that had we resisted we could have been hurt. I went to the police and there is a full investigation about Mbuyuni's management involvement. We can't prove they set us up, BUT THEY WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO KNEW WE WERE ON THE BEACH!! I went back to the hotel with an inspector and a local and we all felt that the manager Mowsa knew about it and was involved. This is a scam hotel don't ever go there they deserve to go out of business.
Kiini cha ufisadi ni pale watu wanapoacha kusimamia maslahi ya taifa na kuanza kuangalia maslahi binafsi. Linapotokea suala kama hili la mtu kuchafuliwa kwa jina la nchi yetu na Ray kwenda mbali hadi kusema hatorudi Tanzania na kwamba hatuwezi kutofautisha kati ya Albino na Mzungu basi unapomuunga mkono kwa maneno yake potofu huna tofauti na fisadi anayeshirikiana na kampuni ya mwekezaji kuweka mkataba mbovu. Nyote ni mafisadi tu. Unamuunga mkono mtu anayeitangazia dunia kuwa Tanzania si mahali pa kwenda? Kweli? U-wapi uzalendo na uchungu ulionao kwa Tanzania iwapo husimami kuitetea nchi yako katika wakati kama huu?
ReplyDeleteNi kweli kabisa rushwa ipo, ubadhirifu upo, urasimu upo na ufisadi upo lakini mambo haya tunayapiga vita kwa pamoja. Lakini pia ni ukweli usiopingika kuwa Serikali chini ya Rais Kikwete imesimama kidete kukabiliana na mabo haya kwa kufuata misingi na kanuni za utawala bora na kulinda haki za binadamu. Huo ndio utawala wa sheria. Sheria iliyokuwa inampa Mwalimu nguvu za kuwakamata wahujumu uchumi na mafisadi tuliifuta sisi wenyewe. Miiko ya viongozi tuliondoa sisi wenyewe. Sasa mnataka Kikwete akamate kamate tu bila kufuta kanuni sheria na taratibu za nchi? Si nyinyi ndio mtakuwa wa kwanza kumuita Dictator? Kama serikali imefanikiwa kwa kiwango hicho ilichofikia katika kupambana na rushwa na ufisadi kuna ubaya gani kuipongeza? Kupongeza pale penye mafanikio si kujikomba kwa viongozi wa serikali.
Kumbuka kinachoongelewa hapa ni Ray kulichafua jina na maslahi ya nchi yetu tukufu - Tanzania. Tusichanganye mada/hoja. Na pale unapoacha kuyatetea maslahi ya nchi wewe ni msaliti. Ni fisadi tu. Na fikra za kutetea maslahi ya taifa ni za kudumishwa, zisipodumishwa matokeo yake ndio huo ufisadi, udini, ukabila, umkoa. Siku zote nitasimama imara kuyatetea maslahi ya nchi yangu kwa moyo wangu wote. NH.
NH bado huukubali ukweli. Kuna msemo mmoja wa kwetu unasema kizuri chajiuza kibaya chajitembeza.
ReplyDeleteHuna haja ya kulalamika eti watu kama Ray wanachafua sifa mbaya ya TZ huko nje. Kama mambo yako sawa, huna haja ya kuhofu, watakuja, wataridhika, and they will keep coming. Lakini kama kuna mambo unaficha, basi inabidi utetee status quo ili upate wateja.
Hamna mtu ambaye anamtetea huyo Ray hapa. Na tumpuuze kama anayosema hayana ukweli. Yale ambayo ni ya uongo tuyapuuze, tushughulikie ya ukweli.
Mbonna unasituka sana na hayo yaliyoandikwa hapo kama vile hayapo? Au sababu kaandika mtu kama Ray? Unataka hao watu waje kufanya nini huku kwetu ? Kuankutalii au waje kuweka mikataba mibovu na sisi ? Kama tuko serious enough, we don`t need watu waje watalii ili tupate kula yetu ya siku!! Nchi yetu inajitosheleza kabisa kwa kila kitu. Hatuhitaji watalii wala misaada ili tuendelee.Matokeo yake ndiyo haya, mtu akitishia kuwa haji, tuko matatni. Watu wakisema hawatupi misaada tuko radhi kubadili taratibu zetu ili waridhike. Matokeo yake ndiyo haya, wanatunyanyasa,kutudharau na kututusi.
Suala hapa wala si uzalendo wako uko wapi.Je kuna level ya uzalendo kwa watanzania? Au dhambi ya ubanguzi ndiyo inapoanzia hapo?
Uzalendo wako wewe jiulize ulikuwa wapi wakati sheria za wahujumu uchumi "zikifutwa"? Mbona hukusimaa juu ya mlima kilimanjoaro kupiga kelele watu wote wasikie na kujua athari zake?
Uzalendo wako ulikuwa wapi wakati "miiko" ya uongozi ikiondolewa ? Mbona hukuzunguka nchi zima hata kwa usafiri wa bajaji kututangazia athari na ubaya wa kufanya hivyo? Bado unataka nizidi kuhoji uzalendo wako kwenye this slippery slope we are sliding fast,ticking bomb waiting to happen and train wreck going to happenn soon ? Kama kuipongeza Serikali muda wake haujafikia,kama unafanya hivyo sasa basi una lako jambo,siyo bure.
Kama Ray kalichafua Taifa basi Taifa lenyewe limeshachafuka siku nyingi tokea pale zilipofutwa hizo unazoita sheria na miiko. Na sijui nani alizifuta. Labda wewe ndugu unaweza kutuambia.Certainly najua si wananchi wa nchi hii. Na kama si wao, je waliofuta walioomba ridhaa yao? Kama ni viongozi wa Serikali, basi chama tawala kinapaswa kulaumiwa. Tuna bahati hatukuwahi kuwa na vyma tawala vingi usemu vitatuchanganya kujua ni chama gani.NH naomba utupe time frame ili tuwajue wahujumu waliotuhujumu.
Kwangu mimi mtalii aje ili nipate kula is a joke. Kama naweza kuwalisha wanangu, kuwatibu, na kuwapatia mahitaji yote muhimu, sitajali sana kama watu wanakuja kutalii au hawaji.
Ukweli ni kwamba hatukuhitaji Ray atuambie hivyo na aongezee na uongo wake. Sisi wenyewe yanatukuta makubwa zaidi ya huyo jamaa, kama kweli yupo.
Tumekuwa tukipiga kelele kila siku hakuna kitu kinachofanyika. Leo mpuuzi kama Ray anakuja na mada yake, all over sudden wazalendo kama NH wanajitokeza.
Wanahoji uzalendo wa wale wenzao waliokuwa wakipiga kelele siku zote.Wanawaona kuwa si watetea maslahi ya Taifa. Ni wasaliti na mafisadi.
Hawafanyi hivyo ili kuwasaidia wananchi wa nchi hii, wengi wao wapo kwenye lindi la umasikini na elimu duni. Wanafanya hivyo ili kuonyesha mafanikio ya serikali na kuipongeza, for a job well done.
Little they know or ignore ni kwamba sisi kama Tanzania hatuhitaji misaada. Mingi inaishia mikononi mwa wajanja. Kama mtu analisha familia yako, kuanzia mke, watoto mpaka wakwe zako, akikupangia jinsi ya kukupa msaada huo unalalama nini? Just be quite mpaka pale utakapojua kujitegemea mwenyewe.
Hiyo "siku zote nitasimamia imara kuyatetea maslahi ya nchi yangu kwa moyo wangu wote", serve it for the gods. I see you pull that out only when your interests are threatened and nothing else.
I really don`t give a rat about what you think of me if I`m nationalist or not. I know that is constitutionally garanteed to me from day one since I was born in this great nation of ours.
The rest are yours to comfort yourself. Until you come into terms and I agree with the reality of what is being said here, we will always be behind and baking only when next Ray comes around. Now take that, suck it up and stuck with it.
watu wengine bwana kuelewa kwao kugumu kweli. NH hajaongelea misaada wala hakatai kwamba rushwa haipo. sasa hizi porojo za kufurahisha kahawa zinatoka wapi?
ReplyDeletesuala ubaguzi linatoka wapi sasa?
ReplyDeleteNdugu Anonymous Tue Aug 18, 06:53:00 PM, ingawa umejikanyaga sana (maandishi yako hayana mtiririko wa kimantiki) na kutumia lugha isiyo ya kistaarabu katika maoni yako lakini napenda kukujibu kama ifuatavyo:
ReplyDeleteUnamaanisha nini unaposema, “NH bado huukubali ukweli.” Ukweli upi niukubali? Kama unamaanisha kuhusu rushwa, ufisadi, urasimu nk naomba urejee katika niliyoyaandika. Hapo kuna majibu yote na hukuwa na sababu ya kusema hili.
Unapoandika, “Kuna msemo mmoja wa kwetu unasema kizuri chajiuza kibaya chajitembeza.” Unalenga kusema nini hasa? Kwamba tuache ya kuitangaza Tanzania kama sehemu nzuri ya watu kutalii kwa sababu ni mbaya? Ndugu yangu elewa kwamba ulimwengu wa sasa ni wa ushindani na katu hushindi katika biashara bila kujitangaza. Habari ya kizuri cha jiuza haipo. Jitangaze kwanza ujulikane, uonyeshe ubora, ndipo kujiuza kunashika usukani. Hujiuzi hivi hivi bila matangazo. Au umesahau kuwa Biashara ni matangazo?
Unamaanisha nini unaposema, “Huna haja ya kulalamika eti watu kama Ray wanachafua sifa mbaya ya TZ huko nje.” Sikuelewi. Tanzania haina sifa mbaya nje. Hakuna anayeficha mambo. Mambo gani hayo yafichwa?
Unasema, “Hamna mtu ambaye anamtetea huyo Ray hapa.” Nakuskuru sana kwa kuliona hili. Hoja zangu zimelenga kumjibu Ray kwa kulichafua jina la Tanzania. Ndilo nililolifanya nimjibu na nafurahi sana kuona unaniunga mkono na humtetei Ray. Sasa hizi hoja nyingine zinatoka wapi? Nani kasema hatusumbuliwi na rushwa? Lakini ni dhambi kuukataa ukweli kwamba serikali inapambana na hayo matatizo unayoyasema na kwamba mafanikio yapo.
Unaendelea: “Na tumpuuze kama anayosema hayana ukweli. Yale ambayo ni ya uongo tuyapuuze, tushughulikie ya ukweli.” Suala la rushwa na ufisadi linashughulikiwa na serikali na wananchi kwa pamoja ndio maana leo hii wote tunalaani vitendo vya rushwa na ufisadi. Vita dhidi ya rushwa imekuwepo hata kabla ya Ray hajatembelea Tanzania. Tunapambana nayo. Sasa hapa hoja yako ni ipi? Na kama umenielewa uzuri kila nilipoandika sikiutetea ufisadi au rushwa. Pia usisahu kuwa Marekani kuna ufisadi wa ajabu na mchafu zaidi ya ule wa Tanzania.
Unaongezea kwa kusema, “Yale ambayo ni ya uongo tuyapuuze...” Tutauupuuza vipi uwongo na uzushi? Tukiupuuza tutakuwa na mapungufu makubwa kama wananchi. Yaani tupuuze kwamba hatujui tofauti kati ya Albino na mzungu? Hiki ni kichekesho kweli. Naomba ufahamu wazi kabisa kuwa ni kosa kuupuuza uwongo wa Ray au yeyote yule awaye. Ukipuuza unakuwa umempa mwanya wa kuhalalisha uwongo wake.Ukimpuuza matokeo ya ni nchi kuupuuzwa. Tukiamua kumpuuza basi sisi tutakuwa ni wapuuzi. Kwa nini nasema tutakuwa ni wapuuzi kwa sababu nchi yako haiwezi kudhalilishwa na kutukanwa wewe ukaa kimya eti unapuuza. Akina Ray wataibuka wengi na utaendelea kupuuza. Mpaka lini? Kumbuka mdharau mwiba mguu huota tende.
Unauliza, “Mbonna unasituka sana na hayo yaliyoandikwa hapo kama vile hayapo? Au sababu kaandika mtu kama Ray?” Kwa mujibu wa swali lako ina maana sisi hatujui tofauti kati ya mzungu na Albino? Yaani tukubali kuwa Tanzaniaa si pa kwenda? Ndugu yangu kuwa makini hoja si nani kaandika. Hoja ni nini kimeandikwa! Unaendelea kuuliza: “Unataka hao watu waje kufanya nini huku kwetu? Kuankutalii au waje kuweka mikataba mibovu na sisi?” Sasa hapa umeonyesha ni jinsi gani usivyothamini mchango wa sekta ya utalii katika pato la taifa. Kila pembe ya dunia utalii ni sehemu muhimu sana kujenga uchumi inasikitisha kuona huoni umuhimu wa utalii kwa nchi yetu. Ingia hapo uone nchi tajiri zinavyoongoza kwa utalii http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tourism_rankings kwa mujibu The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), pia ingia hapo http://traveldocs.com/ke/economy.htm ni kiasi gani Kenya inapata kutokana na sekta utalii ambayo inaongoza kwa kuipatia nchi hiyo pesa za kigeni Kumbuka kwamba Watalii hawaji kufanya mikataba. Unapoubeza utalii basi siwezi kukuona wewe kama uko makini “serious.” NH
Ndugu Anonymous Tue Aug 18, 06:53:00 PM, Suala la maendeleo ya nchi yetu ni hoja nyingine tofauti kabisaaaaa. Kama unataka tujadili hilo kwa hoja na mifano nakukaribisha sana. Unasema: “Nchi yetu inajitosheleza kabisa kwa kila kitu. Hatuhitaji watalii wala misaada ili tuendelee.” Hii ni dhana potofu. Hoja si kujitosheleza hoja ni kujitegemea. Hakuna nchi au taifa linalojitosheleza duniani. Halipo na halitakuwepo. Niambie ni taifa lipi linajitosheleza? Misaada ni muhimu kwa maendeleo ya nchi yeyote. Historia inatuonyesha hivyo. Marekani bila msaada wa Wafaransa wasingupata uhuru wao 1776. Baada ya vita vya pili vya dunia Ulaya imejengwa na Marekani kupitia Marshall Plan. Soviet Union imesiadia sana nchi kama China na India na hata nchi nyingi za Kiafrika. Baada ya kusambaratika Russia imesaidiwa ndipo imeweza kusimama tena. Sasa hoja kubwa hapa si misaada bali namna misaada hiyo inavyotolewa (masharti yake) na namna inavyotumika na kama inawafikia walengwa. Tutaweza kujitegemea tukiwezeshwa kwa kupewa misaada isiyo na masharti na pia kuwa na sauti katika soko la dunia na mfumo wa kiuchumi wa dunia kuacha kuzipendelea nchi tajiri. Kasome “The End of Poverty by Jeffery Sachs” au Globalization of Poverty and the New World Order by Michel Chossudovsky. Pia msome Julius Nyerere katika Ripoti ya Tume ya Kusini. Ni kweli kabisa kwamba maendeleo huletwa na watu wenyewe lakini katika mfumo wa dunia uliojaa unyonyaji na kubanwa na mataifa makubwa jitihada za ndani siku zote zitagonga ukuta kama hakuna mazingira mazuri ya nje ya nchi yanazoziunga mkono jitihada hizo za maendeleo. Na ndio maana katika Malengo ya Millenia suala la Global Partinership ikiwa ni lengo la nane linapewa kipaumbele zaidi kwani bila ushirikiano huo wa ulimwengu katika kukabiliana na malengo mengine saba nchi moja moja maskini kama Tanzania haziwezi kufikia mafanikio zinayotaka kuyafikia. Suala la Global Partinership ni pana mno na linagusa kila sekta. Nadhani umenielewa. Wanatunyanyasa na kutudaharau kwa sababu ya KUWAPUUZA na wewe unataka tuendele kuwapuuza. Kwa sababu tunapuuzia suala la umoja na sauti moja kama Afrika. Akina Ray watatudharu sana tukiendekza utamaduni huu wa kupuuza. Unaona unatukanwa, wewe unasema tuupuze.
ReplyDeleteUzalendo ndio msingi mkuu katika ujenzi wa taifa lolote duniani. Na uzalendo si ubaguzi. Hapo ndugu yangu umeteleza sana. Pia huwezi kusimama juu ya Mlima Kilimanjaro ukapiga kelele watu wakakusikia. Watakusikia vipi? Wale waliokuwepo wakati miiko inaondolewa walipinga. Na serikali ya Kikwete inatambua umuhimu wa kuwepo kwa miiko ya viongozi ndio maana Rais Kikwete akatangaza kwamba “Siasa na biashara viwe mbalimbali. “ Na akaenda umbali wa kutaka itungwe sheria kuhusu hii miiko ya viongozi na hasa kujihusisha na biashara. Sheria hii ikipitishwa itaukata mzizi wa fitina. Sasa kuna ubaya gani kuipongeza serikali ambayo imechukua hatua za makusudi kuirejesha miiko ya uongozi na kuisafisha siasa?
Unamaanisha nini unaposema hivi, “Bado unataka nizidi kuhoji uzalendo wako kwenye this slippery slope we are sliding fast,ticking bomb waiting to happen and train wreck going to happenn soon ?” Mteremko wenye utelezi uwapi na hilo bomu ni lipi unaloliongelea, na hiyo treni iliyoharibika ni ipi?
Unaongeza, “Kama kuipongeza Serikali muda wake haujafikia,kama unafanya hivyo sasa basi una lako jambo,siyo bure.” Langu jambo lipi? Ni tendo la kiungwana pale penye mafanikio kupongeza na pale kasoro kuionyesha kasoro hiyo na kutoa fikra mbadala na si kukebehi au kubeza. Kukebehi na kubeza hakujengi taifa bali kunabomoa zaidi na zaidi. NH
Ndugu Anonymous Tue Aug 18, 06:53:00 PM, Unaandika,“Kama Ray kalichafua Taifa basi Taifa lenyewe limeshachafuka siku nyingi tokea pale zilipofutwa hizo unazoita sheria na miiko.” Ndugu yangu tofautisha kati ya kulichafua jina la Taifa na kulichafua Taifa. Ray hawezi kulichafua Taifa na kuondolewa kwa miiko ya uongozi hakulichafua Taifa. Na wa Taifa letu halijachafuka. Pia huwezi kukilaumu Chama kwa ujumla wake kwa sababu ya maamuzi yaliyotolewa na baadhi wanachama wake ambayo kimsingi yalilenga kupanua wigo wa demokrasia na uhuru zaidi kwa wananchi. Lakini nia hiyo njema ya Chama na viongozi wake ikatumiwa na wachache kama mwanya wa kujitajirisha kwa kuunganisha siasa na biashara. Hivyo si vyema kukihusisha Chama katika makosa ya watu binafsi.
ReplyDeleteHoja yako hii inasikitisha sana unaposema, “Kwangu mimi mtalii aje ili nipate kula is a joke. Kama naweza kuwalisha wanangu, kuwatibu, na kuwapatia mahitaji yote muhimu, sitajali sana kama watu wanakuja kutalii au hawaji.” Hongera wewe uliyetajiri. Lakini ukumbuke pesa hiyo itokanayo na utalii inatunisha pato la taifa na kuiwezesha serikali kutoa huduma za jamii kama afya, maji na elimu kwa akina sisi maskini. Sikutegemea kama ungeweza kutumia lugha majimbo na kujikweza namna hii. Unaonyesha kiburi na dharau. Huu si uungwana hata kidogo.
Sijakataa kama hakuna matatizo ya rushwa Tanzania. Yapo. Lakini yapo kama yaliyovyo kwa nchi nyingine. Na serikali inayafanyia kazi. Ni lini umepeleka malalamiko yako kwa vyombo husika ukiwa na ushahidi kusema kwamba Polisi kaniomba rushwa? Au daktari anataka kitu kidogo? Peleka malamiko yako ukiwa na ushahidi uone kama hayashughulikiwi. Nyinyi wenyewe ndio mnachangia sana kuiongeza rushwa kwa kukubali kutoa rushwa. Kataa na simamia haki yako. Sema sitoi rushwa kwani ni adui wa haki. Serikali itakusimamia upate haki yako.
Unasema:“Wanahoji uzalendo wa wale wenzao waliokuwa wakipiga kelele siku zote.Wanawaona kuwa si watetea maslahi ya Taifa. Ni wasaliti na mafisadi. Hawafanyi hivyo ili kuwasaidia wananchi wa nchi hii, wengi wao wapo kwenye lindi la umasikini na elimu duni. Wanafanya hivyo ili kuonyesha mafanikio ya serikali na kuipongeza, for a job well done.”
Ndugu yangu kwanini upige kelele? Kelele hazisaidii. Jenga hoja na itetee hoja. Kupiga kelele ni kupayuka bila mpangilio, ni kuongea bila mpangilio ni kuyasema mambo bila mwelekeo unaoleweka na hatimaye ni kujikanganya na kuonekana wewe kuwa ni mpiga kelele tu. Haki haitetewewi kwa kupiga kelele. Haki hutetewa kwa hoja, ushahidi na mifano si kelele. Nakushauri uache kupiga kelele ujenge hoja. Uitete hoja kwa ukarimu na si kupiga kelele. Martin Luther King hakuwa mpiga kelele. Gandhi hakuwa mpiga kelele. Nelson Mandela hakuwa mpiga kelele. Julius Nyerere hakuwa mpiga kelele. Mama Theresa hakuwa mpiga kelele. Walijenga hoja na kuisimamia hoja lakini si kwa makelele. Waliongea maneno ya hekima na busara. Hawakuwa walopokaji. Walikuwa na subira na si wavurugaji. Kelele ni fujo tu. NH
Ndugu Anonymous Tue Aug 18, 06:53:00 PM, Kuhusu kumjibu Ray unasema: “Hawafanyi hivyo ili kuwasaidia wananchi wa nchi hii, wengi wao wapo kwenye lindi la umasikini na elimu duni. Wanafanya hivyo ili kuonyesha mafanikio ya serikali na kuipongeza, for a job well done.” Elewa kuwa kumjibu Ray si kuonyesha mafanikio serikali wala kuipongeza. Ni kutetea hadhi na jina la taifa. Pia hujui nini ninakifanya kwa kushirikiana na wananchi kuijenga nchi yetu. Siko hapa kujigamba kama wewe unayedharau pato la utalii ambalo kimsingi linachangia katika elimu na sekta nyingine za jamii kwa maendeleo ya taifa.
ReplyDeleteUnaandika, “Little they know or ignore ni kwamba sisi kama Tanzania hatuhitaji misaada.” Kina nani hao wanajua kidogo na yapi hayo wanayoyapa kisogo? Ukweli unabaki palepale kwamba bado tunahiji misaada. Na kubwa zaidi ni kuhakikisha misaada hiyo inafanyakazi iliyolengwa na haishii “Mikononi mwa wajanja.” Nafurahi kuona unauona umuhimu wa kujitegemea lakini kujitegemea katika ulimwengu huu wa Kikoloni hakuji hivi hivi tu mpaka usaidiwe. Na baada kusaidiwa ukajimudu unajitegemea. Hapo unakuwa umejikomboa kiuchumi. Bado tunapigania kujikomboa kiuchumi.
Ninaposema siku zote nitasimamia imara kuyatetea maslahi ya nchi yangu kwa moyo wangu wote ni kweli nafanya hivyo na nitaendelea kufanya hivyo bila kuona soni wala kuwa na woga.
Umesema, “I really don`t give a rat about what you think of me if I`m nationalist or not. I know that is constitutionally garanteed to me from day one since I was born in this great nation of ours.” Hongera kwa matumizi mazuri ya lugha. Lakini jaribu kuwa mstaarabu kidogo. Pia kuna tofauti kubwa kati ya neno NATIONALIST na PATRIOT. Hapa mzalendo ni Patriot na si Nationalist. Angalia kwenye Oxford Advanced Leaner’s Dictionary.
Unamalizia tena kwa lugha isiyokuwa ya kistaarabu hata kidogo. Ndio maana unajiita mpiga kelele kwa kusema: “The rest are yours to comfort yourself. Until you come into terms and I agree with the reality of what is being said here, we will always be behind and baking only when next Ray comes around. Now take that, suck it up and stuck with it.”
Nikulize swali. Je ulisoma na kuelewa yote ambayo nimeyaandika kuhusu uwepo wa rushwa na ufisadi nchini sasa hii haja maana si hoja ya kukubalina nawe inatoka wapi?
Kwa upande wangu naufunga mjadala. NH
Mheshimiwa NH nimesoma majibu yako yote kwa makini. Pamoja na kujaribu kujielezea na kujitetea. Let`s come into agreement here, mimi sitaweza kuubadili msimamo wako na wewe kamwe hutaweza kuubadili wa kwangu. Kitu kimoja tu nataka kuongezea ni kuwa, tatizo letu sisi watanzania ni mipango mingi mizuri iliyopo kwenye makaratasi bila matendo.
ReplyDeletekwako wewe umekazania kuwa Serikali inajitahidi na mafanikio tunayaona. Kwa mtu kama mimi ambaye reality ndiyo inanifanya niseme yote hayo, itakuwa ni kujidanganya.
Suala la majimbo wala hapo halikuwepo, ila uliingiza hiyo baada ya kusema kama hatutetei nchi basi ni wasaliti,fisadi na matokeo yake ni udini,ukabila na umkoa.
Hayo mambo ya Nationalist na Patriot ni vitu vinavyoendana. Sijui kama kuna patriot ambaye siyo Natioanalist as far as Politics is concerned. Unaweza ukawa Patriot wa CCM au CUF, niliandika hiyo kuonyesha the aim and meaning ya kuwa patriot.
Sijui kwa nini una stick na hiyo hoja ya Ray katuambia eti sisi hatujui kutofautisha kati ya Albino na mzungu. Hivi unafikiri hata yeye alivyoandika hivyo alimaanisha hivyo? Mimi nilielewa kuwa hizo ni hasira zake tu. Sasa kama wewe umekasirishwa na hilo, basi waulize wenzako, usije ukaenda mikutanoni huko mbele ukatuabisha.
Pamoja na yote hayo unayoandika, deep inside unajua kabisa hali ni mbaya kiasi gani hapo nyumbani.
Suala la kuniambia mimi kuwa ni tajiri na sijui nini unakifanya kuijenga nchi yetu, sidhani kama hilo litawasaidia mamilioni wanaoteseka.Na huo ukweli unaujua vizuri tu.
Kama kutuletea hadithi za Abunuasi ndiyo kazi yako na unapata mshahara, basi kazi njema sana. Otherwise hukuna jipya hapo.
Maneno kama hayo tumeyasikia tokea siku nyingi ya kupongezana na kupanga kila aina ya mipango. Matokeo yake, mpaka leo hii, kama uko hapo Dar, hautasafiri hata zaidi ya saa moja kutoka nje ya jiji na ukutane na watoto wa shule wakikaa chini wanaandikia kwenye magoti !!
Wewe na hiyo kazi yako unayoifanya, haina maana yoyote zaidi ya kupiga soga kama hiyo kwako unaona ni sawa. Huku waheshimiwa wengine wanakula na kusaza. Eti ni kutokana na hadhi yao !! Hadhi gani wakati wananchi wako wanaishi kwa mlo mmoja kwa siku na less than a dolar ? Hata ukipanda gari la mtumba bado watakuona ni mheshimiwa sana tu.
Mheshimiwa NH, hebu peleka story zako kwingine.
Ninamshukuru Mungu sababu ninajiweza na naweza kusaidia watu. Lakini ukiniambia nina dharau na kiburi, si kosa lako ila haunijui, hiyo ni sawa sana.
Vilevile hujui nina experience gani na hayo yote uliandika hapo. Kwangu mimi ni sawa na unanitajia vitu ambavyo ni well known to me. Utendaji wa Gov. hilo si geni kwangu. Labda chama, sababu sijawahi na sitarajii kuwa mwananchama wa chama chochote. Kuwa Mtanzania tu inatosha. Lakini ukiniletea mambo ya vyombo vya dola na kadhaa wa kadha, give me a break. Been there done that and more.
Kwa hiyo mheshimiwa, nadhani wapo watu waliopata mawazo tofauti kutokana na mjadala huu tuliokuwa nao.
kuwa kwenye government, so what?
