    kwanza napenda kukushukuru kwa kazi nzuri unaiyoifanya ya kutupasha habari za hapa na pale! pili ni kuhusu kutumia hii lugha ya kigeni (English) nafikiri hii habari ya makamu wa gavana wa benki kuu ya Tanzania ilitakiwa iwe kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Kwa sababu hii habari inawahusu Watanzania ijapokuwa wenye kusoma blog walio wengi wako nje ya Tanzania, lakini ni bora ingeandikwa kwa lugha ya kiswahili ata yule MTZ ambaye ajui Kiingeleza aweze kuelewa ni kitu kinaongelewa kuhusu huyo mwanamke!!!!

    Dr. Mwamba. I have utmost respect for you as a fellow Economist and I believe with your experience and professionalism, you'd be able to instill into the BoT what it missed all these years - the motherly touch with economic sense and practicality. Go make us proud! All the best.

    huyo michuzi kaweka press release kama ilivyomfikia. hao public relations officers huwa wanatoa kwa kiingereza na kiswahili. taarifa nyingi za humu huwa zinakua za kiingereza sababu software za computer ziko kwenye kiingereza kwa hiyo tunaoweza kutumia computer wengi tunaweza kuelewa kiingereza. wanaosoma kiswhili watapata tafsiri kwenye magazeti ya kiswahili...:)(: hongera mheshimiwa kwa kuteuliwa..
