Hii ni aibu tupu, maana Tanzania na wizara zake husika, hadi sasa wameshindwa kuchapisha aina mbalimbali za vitabu kama hivyo, katika lugha ya Taifa, na badala yake wakoloni kutoka nje ndo wanafanya kazi hiyo!!! Sasa waziri huyo sijui anatabasamu nini wakati kitabu chenyewe kimehandikwa ktk lugha ya kigeni ambayo hata yeye hailewi au Watanzania wenzake anaowawakilisha? Rasilimali tunazo nyingi, tunashindwa kuzitanga, vitabu kama hivyo katika lugha ya Watanzania ni muhimu kwa wanafunzi kujielimisha. Chakushangaza viongozi wamekalia kula rushwa tu na kujali matumbo yao badala maslai ya umma! Mpaka mgeni anakuja nyumbani kwako, anafanya utafiti uliopo ndani ya uwezo wako, anapiga picha na anatengeneza pesa, wewe upo tu umekodoa macho! Very sad!!!! Tufungue macho jamani Watanzania wenzangu, kwani nguvu tunayo, uwezo tunao, na rasilimali tunazo za kutosha!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHivi nyie mnaopokea vitabu hivyo mnajisikiaje? Shame upon you! badala ya Tz. kuchapisha vitabu na kuwapa mabalozi wapeleke kwao kutangaza utalii eti wazungu ndio wanachapisha! shame! shame shame!
ReplyDeleteHuu ni upuuzi mtupu ni aibu yaani raslimali ni zetu wageni wanakuja wanaandika vitabu kuhusu mbuga zetu alafu wanaanza kutuuzia eti bado tumelala. Kuna tatizo kubwa sana Tanzania tunahitaji kulitatua lasivyo kila kitu kitakuwa ni cha kutoka kwa wazungu. Mimi niko huku Ulaya nakuhakikishia hata kama ungekuwa Mwafrika umesoma kiasi gani hawa jammaa hawakupi nafasi ya kuonana na mawaziri wao wakubwa kirahisi hivi hii ni Market anatumia waziri wetu kujitangaza na kukialalisha kitabu.
ReplyDeleteUmefika muda kwa Tanzania kupenda wataalamu wetu na kuandika vitabu wenyewe. Mungu ibariki Tanzania.
