The emerging problem in Mtwara, should not be confused with the African natural resource curse, but rather a new pattern of African awakening in which citizens are rising up to demand what belongs to them in an effort to get out of the poverty . The government of the day must not turn a deaf hear or even politicize the issue in Mtwara. It must re-examine itself carefully, and respect people’s will to save its self.
The culture of secrecy in which contract details are negotiated and signed in the darkness by rogue public officials, has particularly imposed heavy economic burden upon the people of Tanzania which has led us to this point. Mtwara saga is certainly a product of phony contracts which has presented the government of Tanzania with a golden opportunity to review its investment and economic policies that seems to be repressive, deceptive, and not progressive to its people.
What is happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo or even in Niger Delta is quite different to what is happening Tanzania. DRC and Niger Delta have militants, factions and separatists in all out war, fighting their governments. Mtwara residents are on the contrary, waging a different type of war, a peaceful war that can never be defeated by the mightiest army on the face of the planet. And in the wake of rather stunning revelation of inflated cost of the pipeline ($1.2Billion) from the actual price of $600million, their strength has grown and there nothing the government can do but back down and address the mistakes made
Sand oil discovery in Canada brought economic boom to Alberta residents and Canadian economy as a whole. High school graduates working in the oil industry are earning in excess of $120 an hour which is considered average pay. Albertans are enjoying their natural wealth. Oil companies are investing -giving back- heavily on Alberta’s social programs and causes.
On the contrary, Tanzanian residents in Nyamongo; one of the gold rich regions in Africa are much poorer than they were before the Gold mining companies camped on their land. Water sources are polluted; animals are dying and the residents are silently suffering unknown ailments
Poverty and joblessness are the order of the day, while small scale mining that sustained the community for decades has literally collapsed, yet foreigners have the leverage to be employed as dump truck drivers. Thousands of jobless Nyamongo residents capable of driving forklifts can only standby and watch heavy dump trucks driven by Kenyans, South- Africans, Australians and Canadians move gold-sand from the land that once belonged to them. An obvious problem the government has neglected
Legitimate economic reasons are to blame for Mtwara protests. People in the south see natural gas has the only viable way out of poverty. They have seen the problems in Tarime, and are no-longer interested in promises.
All they need is action that will improve their lives. The government must not make a mistake of overlooking, politicizing, or even attempting to quell the protests using force. Instead, the government needs a cautious approach to determine the root cause of the problem it is
Logical government will raise various hypothetical scenarios as to why people in southern Tanzania do not want natural gas to leave their land. In retrospect, various theories will emerge in this self re-examination process. The government will come into terms with the fact that, this is a new era.
An era of internet-citizens, mainly youth that have found a new sense of confidence and self- approval. The government will discover a new generation that no-longer wants to complain and blame others for their misery; a generation that fear no tear-gas, water cannons or bullets. A generation that does not want handouts from foreign entities, rather, wants to sustainably liberate themselves from their ruins of poverty through their God given resources and talents.
A new generation that wants jobs, better education, better healthcare and improved infrastructure. We are referring to the generation that knows quite well, that Chinese don’t love them but their wealth. Mtwara people have realized that in the real world, there aren’t always an ending to fairy tales and acts of deception, and that any guarantee of happily ever after, must begin with them; a new awakening. And as long as their grievances are not addressed, the government will never be at ease.
They have realized that they must stand on their own and take care of themselves and not rely upon promises they have been hearing for the past fifty some years. Honorable Mwakyembe, Kagasheki, Magufuli and Muhongo are invariably known to be top performers in the current government. Notwithstanding, as long as these leaders are surrounded by indiscipline civil servants, and crooked politicians, architecting the diversion of important national economic projects for their selfish gains, these top performers will remain hostages of the goons, that seem to be in the government’s radar.
Citizens of the internet that communicates through text messaging and social networks have been awakened from their sleep and are literally unstoppable. They are no longer interested in political propaganda and the so called CHINESE Aid shrouded with corruption. They know what they need and when they need it. Mtwara is a contagious polity awakening the government must reckon with

Huo ndio ukweli.Watu wamechoka kunyanganywa mali zao na kwenda kwenye mikono ya watu wachache. Hili sio jambo la kisiasa ni la kiuchumi.Gesi itumike Tanzania nzima lakini usafishwe na kusafirishwa. Tunawalumu wakoloni kwamba walikuwa wakisafirisha mazao ghafi kwenda kwao ili watuletee bidha zilizo tokana na mazao hayo tuzinunue kwa bei ya juu.Leo tunafanya hivyo hivyo sisi kwa sisi.Haki! haki! haki! Inawekazana umeme kusafirishwa kutoka Mtwara.
ReplyDeleteHuyu bwana John ameandika mambo ya muhimu sana. Ametoa mifano hai ya province ya Alberta(tunaweza fananisha na mkoa) kule Kanada. Ni kweli huu mkoa umeendelea zaidi kwa ajili ya maliasili zake na wakazi wa pale wanaupendeleo zaidi kuliko kwingine kanada.Kwa mfano mkazi wa Alberta analipa fees ndogo vyuo vya alberta zaidi ya mkanada toka mikoa mingine.Mkazi wa Alberta anapata bima nzuri zaidi kuliko mkanada mwingine. Mkanada akitaka kuwa mkazi wa Alberta anatakiwa awe mkazi wa pale si chini ya mwaka. Ukiishi nje ya pale zaidi ya mwaka basi we si mkazi tena kwahiyo hawana ubaguzi kwa wakanada toka mikoa mingine ili mradi awe mkazi wa muda si chini ya mwaka. Alberta pia inachangia pato la nchi kwa kiasi kikubwa.
ReplyDeleteNi kweli ukiangalia wananchi wa Tarime, Mwadui, Kahama leo hii ni masikini kweli kweli(mara ya mwisho nimeona hizo sehemu hata mwezi haujapita kwahiyo naelewa). Hakuna faida inaoneka na uwekezaji zaidi ya maendeleo kwa watu wachache Dar.
Uelewa si lazima mtu aende shule na kwenda shule hakumahanishi uelewa.
Sababu alizotoa bwana John kiuelewa naziunga mkono.
Kilio cha wana Mtwara nicha Watanzania wote na mwenye kuelewa ataelewa. Wamakonde wamechukua hatua na sisi je?
Mashaka is no point but he is also spreading and AMERICAN PROPAGANDA against the chinese......the chinese are not the ones exploring oil/gas in mtwara...it is the norway and britain....why the word chinese used more than once on the article.....
ReplyDeleteI believe the chinese are still the better partner than the west........the chinese stood with us during difficult times and they are with us during the good times.
When we were fighting for south african apartheid.....the late Oliver tambo went to all the western countries for help....none of them western countries listened to our struggles.......they were getting the diamonds from the south african government at the time.....they didn't really care about the african people well being.......
If it was not for the soviet help we wouldn't have many of the southern african countries liberated.....china in particular did a great job by providing us support back then.....the only country from the west that helped us was Sweden.......
It is very vital for africans to read and know their history instead of just taking yip yapping something they hear from CNN or Television.
i have to admit that u made good points but you lost the plot when trying to throw the chinese under the bus and promote the American propaganda against the chinese.......
WELL ANALYSIS PRESENTED:
ReplyDeleteMyself I am supporting the memorandum that will be economic useful both for the Nation and the people as a whole.
1.WE HAVE TO REJECT 'CENTRALISED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS' thus everything to be focused to Dar Es Salaam, example even if the Seat of the Government is at the Capital city Dodoma but all Public Offices HQ are in Dar Es Salaam.
This hinders developments of other places like Mtwara and other resource rich places.
Hosting this attitude will make us see the continuous urban heading population especially the youth who are very impotnant workfoce to remain in the country sideeconomic development necessary for production and economic development, who flock to Dar to start Machinga ventures with 3 to 5 shirts on hands for sale!
2.TRANSPORTING GAS MATTER IN THE DISTANCE OF 580 KM WILL NEED SUCH VOLUME OF GAS COVERED IN MILLIONS OF CUBIC TO ENABLE REACH DAR ES SALAAM.
This will impose a very big loss, and why not procure it on ships at Mtwara Port?, if there are currently lacky of Gas Processing Industries erected over there.
3.WE NEED TO INVOLVE ORDINARY PEOPLE MORE IN RESOURCES MATTERS:
As the Article insists the need involving the ordinary citizens, this is very sensitive as the pipeline will be laid accross their land and areas, there fore there is need to involve them.
4. TRANSPARECNY IS NECESSARY, Especially from the CONTRACTS SIGNED, HOW THE CITIZENS WILL BENEFIT FROM THE RESOURCES, The Government must provide (such Economic justifications) soundible reasons WHY GAS IS TO BE TRANSPORTED TO DAR ES SALAAM so that the citizens becomes satisfied.
5.WE WILL NEVER TURN INTO REBELION AS THE MATTER CAN BE SOLVED BY ECONIMIC JUDGEMENTS to decide whether to stop the transportation propose and find Developemnt Projects if possible through rising funds and implement gas processing industrial schemes in Mtwara or start to transport for temporary to Dar while make preparation for permanent gas plants in Mtwara...AS USUAL ECONOMY IS THE ART OF PRIORITY CHOICES WITH AVAILABLE RESOURCES OR ABILITY.
Nakubaliana na wewe Mashaka....hata Papua New Guinea host communities wanalipwa substantial portion ya income inayotokana na gold...na hii imesaidia makampuni ya madini yaishi kwa amani huko.
ReplyDeleteLakini hiyo decision haikuwa rahisi...ni mpaka wananchi wa Papua New Guinea walipo protest continuously.
Mi nashangaa kuna baadhi ya wanaojihita wasomi wetu wana buy idea kuwa watu wa Mtwara ni selfish....kama unatoa dhahabu lazima muonekano wako uwe ki dhahabu dhahabu mfano Johanersberg; yes wana suffer pollution lakini mji wao uko bomba.
Mnataka watu wa mtwara waambulie vumbi tu??? Utasikia majibu wanayotoa ooh wananchi wa Mtwara watanufaika kwa njia moja au nyingine...majibu ya kisiasa hayo.
Mi si mwananchi wa Mtwara lakini nawaunga mkono kwani najua wana point
Bwana Mashaka najua kiswahili kinakupiga chenga maana kila siku hapa makala zako huwa ni za kizungu, lakini kwa hapa unazo pointi.
ReplyDeleteWakaazi wa Mtwara wameamka mapema wanataka rasilimali ya gesi iwanufaishe wao kwanza. Hiyo ni big up! Mifano ya North Mara na Geita imewaamsha. Ni kweli rasilimali zote ni za taifa lakini wale waliopo karibu na zile rasilimali walitakiwa wapate sehemu kubwa ya keki.
Sidhani kama wakazi wa Mtwara watakataza watanzania wengine kwenda kufaidika na investments zinazotokana na hiyo rasilimali wakiamua kuhamia kule.
It is true! Albertans are really benefiting the fruits of the oil found in their Province! Let the Mtwarans benefit from the gas first.
ReplyDeleteTanzania should learn from what happened in the old Sudan. Oil is the South but those who benefited were only the "notherners"
Thats true Mr Mashaka i salute you. AFRICAN leaders, Africans,i think God made us out of remains from others.i hate african leaders they are vernomous killers. ihate them.we must see what contracts says about our gas.Nyerere was aware that we have enough resources but.........anyway.
ReplyDeleteDear my collegue, John Mashaka, I like your eloquence and well-argued ideas on this matter. Indeed true, Mtwara saga is a wake up call for the government to understsand the geniune claims of the people. Most of the Mtwara people are poverty striken citizens, subjected to chronic rural poverty. You pointed out correctly, the legitimacy of the current regime in Tanzania lie on the shoulders of four great performers, number one Dr. Magufuli who is widely recognized bu all Tanzanians as a great performer, number two my home boy from Mbeya, Dr. Mwakyembe, I am not trying to perpetuate tribalism because I am from Rungwe na Mwakyembe is from Kyera.The third performer Prof. Muhongo. Congratulation your excellency, President Kikwete for this wonderful pick of this professor as minister of energy. The fourth from behind is Kagasheki. Finally, I totally agree with my brother Mashaka the next president of Tanzania in 2015. We need Mashaka to be our next president. Mdau Ufaransa.
ReplyDeleteMOFOS hit to the point too much kigreza...
ReplyDeletewoooow.
ReplyDeleteJohn mashaka usikose katika bunge la 2015
sawa sawa. serikali siyosikivu ni serijali inayokufa. naona mzee mashaka john umeichana serikali kisawasawa
ReplyDeleteItakuwa ni vizuri kwa vyama vya upinzani hasa CHADEMA kuwachangamkia vijana majasiri kama mashaka wenye mawazo mbadala na ujasiri. Makala mazuri sana
ReplyDeletea well-thought out master piece of presentation!I only hope,the message doesn't fall on Deaf Ears!wadanganyika sasa wameamka!
ReplyDeleteMASHAKA JOHN IS THE PRESIDENT OF WAHAYA. WAHAYA BWANA KWA MBWEMBWE, SASA HUYU NSHOMILE MWANZAO. YEYE KASOMA MPAKA HAVADI BUT NO KOZI ANAANDIKA VIINGELEZA VIGUMU UTAFIKIRI WATANZANIA WOTE WANAELEWA KIINGELEZA YA AINA HII. KHA. SIWAPENDI WAHAYA KWELI
ReplyDeleteMtwara wamekataa kuendelea kuchekwa kuwa wao ndio Machinga Jijini Darisalama!
ReplyDeleteNa sasa wanataka ninyi wana Darisalama mnao jifanya wa Mjini mkawe manamba kwao kwenye Mitambo ya GESI !!!
Mtwara wamekataa kuendelea kuchekwa kuwa wao ndio Machinga Jijini Darisalama!
ReplyDeleteNa sasa wanataka ninyi wana Darisalama mnao jifanya wa Mjini mkawe manamba kwao kwenye Mitambo ya GESI !!!
This is outstanding Mashaka!! I wish the mshua reads it between lines and remake his mind. We are sick and tired of this senseless gvt.
ReplyDeleteTumechoshwa na Maendeleo ya eneo moja tu la nchi yaani DAR ES SALAAM.
ReplyDeleteKama Gesi itasafirishwa kwenda Dar, maendeleo ya Mtwara yatadumaa huku Dar ikiendelea zaidi.
Kila Mkoa una fursa sawa ya kuakisiwa na Maendeleo kulingana na rasilimali zilizopo eneo husika.
Twende na wakati, yasitokee yale yale mifano:
1.Alamsi inachimbwa Mwadui-Shinyanga lakini Kiwanda cha kukatia Almasi kipo Iringa!!!
2.Chai inalimwa Iringa, Kiwanda cha Chai Kipo Dar Es Salaam!!!
3.Tumbaku inalimwa Tabora, Kiwanda cha kusindika tumbaku kipo Morogoro na Kiwanda cha Sigara kipo Dar Es Salaam!!!
Hivi kweli huu ni Uchumi unaokwenda na zama zetu hizi?
Kama suala ni Mitambo, patafutwe uwezekano wa kuisimika huko huko Mtwara iliko Gesi, kama suala ni umeme uzalishiwe huko huko Mtwara halafu waya zilete Dar Es Salaa na maeneo mengine ya nchi umeme uliozalishwa kwa Gesi huko Mtwara.
UTETEZI:
Gesi iuzwe kwa Tija na kuongezwa thamani kwa kuwa Gesi itazaa Tija kama itaendelezewa Mtwara kwa:
1.Kuzaa ajira katika eneo husika na kuakisi maendeleo.
2.Kuzaa mpanuko wa Uchumi kwa eneo husika na nchi kwa ujumla na kuamsha hali za maisha za watu kwa kuwakwamua kutoka kwenye umasikini.
3.Kupunguza upotevu wa mali kwa kuwa Gesi kama itasafirishwa pana itakayopotea kwa kuvuja kwa urefu huo wa umbali wa KM 580 hadi Dar.
Pia ujazo wa Gesi wa kutandikwa mabomba kwa KM 580 ili gesi ifike Dar ujazo wa urefu huo ni mwingi mno.
4.Uwezekano wa kuleta maafa kwenye maeneo ya misituni ambako kama itavuja hapatakuwa na wa kutoa taarifa na ikaharibu mazingira na kuleta maafa.
5.Ongezeko la thamani litapatikana kama Gesi itachambiliwa Mtwara ama nchini Tanzania badala ya kuuzwa ikiwa ghafi.
*****Mfano Mabwenyenye Uganda wanajaribu kuwalazimisha wasafirishe mafuta yao yakiwa ghafi ili wayanunue yakiwa bei ya chini na kuwanyonya, Serikali ya Uganda wanataka REFINARY (Mtambo wa kuchambua mafuta ili kuongeza thamani na pia yasipotee hewani kwa kuwa yana tope jingi (wax nature) kama yatasafirishwa yataganda na kupotea hewani) Mabepari Tullow Oil Plc.(Waingereza wawekezaji) wanataka PIPELINE ili wasafirishe yakiwa ghafi na kwa bei ya kuwalalia ya chini*****
Tumekuwa tukipoteza sana kwa kuuza bidhaa zetu kuanzia Kilimo na madini zikiwa ghafi kwa kuwa katika masoko ya Kimataifa na Dunia bidhaa ghafi huuzwa kwa bei ya chini mno. NDIO PALE TUMESHUHUDIA KARAI MOJA LA MCHANGA WA DHAHABU LIKIUZWA KWA T.SHS. 1/= (Shilingi Moja ya Tanzania) KWA MAKABURU.
===================================
Nawakilisha,
Msije mkajenga imani kama mimi ni Mtu wa kutokea Kusini au Mkoa wa Mtwara kwa huu msimamo wangu,
Mimi ni mwananchi Mzaliwa wa Mkoa wa TANGA (Mgosi wa Kaya) lakini nikiwa Mkazi wa Dar Es Salaam.
Inatakiwa maendeleo yaakisi huko huko iankotoka Gesi.
ReplyDeleteMfano:
1.TAALUMA YA GESI NA TEKINOLOJIA:
vyuo vya Mitaala ya Teknolijia ya Gesi, Masoko ya Gesi na Mitaala ya vyuo vya Biashara ya Gesi iwepo Mtawara huko iliko Gesi.
Patakuwa na nafasi nzuri ya Mafunzo kwa vitendo, sio Gesi iwepo Mtwara Chuo kipo Darisalama ama Morogoro kitu ambacho watakuwa wanasoma Nadharia zaidi kuliko vitendo huku kukiwa na sumbufu wa kuhitajika kusafiri kwenda Mtwara kwa Practiclas hizo.
2.MASOKO YA GESI / MNADA WA MITAJI:
Soko la Mitaji na linahitajika liwepo mahala ambapo rasilimali husika ipo, huwezi kuuza mbuzi Mnadani Dodoma wakati mbuzi anayenadiwa yupo zizini huko Mkoani Shinyanga au yupo ndani ya gunia.
3.MIUNDOMBINU NA MAKAZI(MITAMBO NA MAHOTELI)
Serikali ingezingatia kuongeza uwezo wa Bandari ya Mtwara kwa awamu ya kwanza (kuweza kupakia na kupakua bidhaa za GESI) kabla hiyo Mitambo haijawekwa huko Mtwara ili Gesi iweze kupakiwa katika meli kwa kwenda kuuzwa, laini ili hii iwe kwa muda mfupi lengo ni kuichambua na kuongeza thamani huku ikizalisha ajira kwa wakazi.
Pia Mabepari wa Sekta ya Gesi na Mainjinia watahitaji Mahoteli ya Nyota 5 hadi 7 yawepo Mtwara eneo lao la kazi kwa kuwa watu hawa inafahamika Duniani ya kuwa hawakuzoea tabu kabisa za kimaisha watahitaji wajengewe mahoteli kama HILTON, SHERRATON, SONESTA,BEST WESTERN, RENAISSANCE, RADDISON N.K huko huko katika eneo lao la kazi Mtwara.
Hivyo kuileta Gesi Dar itakuwa ni kinyume na utendaji wa Sekta yenyewe ya gesi.
SERIKALI ITUMIE BUSARA IFIKIRI TENA MIPANGO YAKE HIYO.
andika kiswahili uwezi changia mwenyewe wengine hatujui hicho kingereza.
ReplyDeleteWewe kweli jinias na jasiri kuwachana magamba hivi. Kha.... tafadhalini muitafsiri hii makala kwa kuswahili.
ReplyDeleteZitto Kabwe akisikiaga jina Mashaka hanaga amani kabisa . Kumbe hii ndo sababu
ReplyDeleteWell said Kaka Mashaka, I know the government has deaf ear but at least this case of Mtwara will be an awakening siren and a case study to document the lesson learnt.I fail to understand why MPs who were elected by the people of these regions (Mtwara & Lindi) are at the forefront to spearhead the agenda, and forgetting that were elected for the people's interests, which among others is to ensure development in their constituties. The issue is not economical move as Muhongo is trying deceiving people, but rather a corruptious scandal to which government has to cover it using massive media inteventions to shield their fellow, thanks for shading the light that the pipes are at $600m and not $1.2Billion. The government is spreading a lie that people of Mtwara want to use the gas alone, what a stupid lie. The gas is there since time memorial. The government is forgeting that having a natural resource is not development but development will come after exploitation of it, and we would love to see such beneficial exploitation is happening and implemented in place were resources come from, of which Mtwara will not only attract investments but with current awaken in the country a social prosperous will also dimming!
ReplyDeleteuMENIPA MSEMO MPYA, HETI Citizens of the Internet. Ndio wana mtandaoa nini. KWA UJUMLA ATIKO NIMEIKUBALI IMETULIA NA SHUKRANI KUWAPA SHAVU WANA MTWARA. MAKALA IMEANDIKWA KWA UMAKINI WA HALI YA JUU NA KUWEKEWA VIUNGO VITAMU KWELI.
ReplyDeleteHivi John Mashaka what are you doing in USA jamani?.....It's very sad and shame to see a smart, genius young Tanzanian man like you Mashaka wapo inchi za watu wanaendeleza ugenini wakati kwao kumeoza kisa mfumo mchafu wa serikali......trully you made me cry especially about Nyamongo issue. Ee Mungu tunusuru siye watanzania na mafisadi, in your name I pray!
ReplyDeleteMaendeleo nchini yasiwepo Dar Es Salaam peke yake!
ReplyDeleteKila eneo yanatakiwa maendeleo yawafikie wananchi huko waliko ili tuepukane na tatizo sugu la watu wengi hasa vijana kuhamia Mijini.
Ilifikia pagumu sana watu wakihamishiwa Kusini hasa Mtwara wanaamua kuacha kazi kwa kuwa huko kulikuwa ni 'makalioni' mwa nchi, kukiwa na shida kede kede!
Tunataka ifikie watu wapiganie kuhamishiwa Kikazi Mtwara na Rukwa, kutokana na maendeleo yaliyopatikana kwa mali za huko kama Gesi-Mtwara na Makaa ya Mawe-Rukwa!
Kwa nIni Dar Es Salaam peke yake ipewe kuwazidi Mikoa mingine Kimaendeleo?
PAMOJA NA SABABU NYINGI TU ZA KIUCHUMI NI MUHIMU KUFIKIRIA ZAIDI KUHUSU KUSAFIRISHA GESI KUTOKA MTWARA HADI DAR!!!
A well written article. It will be best if you could may be one day write such an article direclty to the people who will change the way things work.
ReplyDeleteThe majority of people who are reading this article here are not in anyway or form going to change the way things are. It is sad really.
What you have written is true and it raises a lot of questions to the current gov't. But on the other hand I have to be honest with you, sometimes it is not easy.
You yourself if you were given an opportunity to join politics,you will have grey hair within six months of taking the post. It is tough.
I think you should either come up with points/idieas and may be give them to michuzi so that he can take them forward to the gov't as a middleman.
The next step will be a follow up of what has been done since you wrote your suggestions. That would be a perfect way of doing things.
Otherwise you will keep on writting articles after articles, getting good comments about articles and then nothing is done about it.
Thanks
PIMBI.
Hii ni changamoto kwa vijana kutokuvumilia udhalimu unaofanywa na serikali. Siku zote John Mashaka ni mfano wa kuigwa. Makala mazuri sana.
ReplyDeleteNeema ya Gesi Kusini:

Katika suala la Gesi Kusini Mtawabeba migongoni kwa Mbeleko !
ReplyDeleteWell presented article. The government should know that it is dealing with citizens who are more aware of their rights than those of 20 years back.Simple answers, insults and remarks aimed at intimidating citizens only expose the leaders weaknesses and intentions of defrauding the citizens.
ReplyDeletethe man of fiery rhetoric mashaka john that is. once the gas is remaied in mtwara, all freedom fighters will be given a special place in the area including john Mashaka our son and future leader. nice artiko. please tafsiri this in kiswahili
ReplyDeleteSafari ijayo ukizungumzia gesi ya Mtwara, tafadhali tumia lugha ya Kiswahili. Kisomi-somi tafsiri kwa Kichina au Kireno!
ReplyDeleteMatajiri wa Gesi Wana Kusini na Mtwara:
ReplyDeleteHapo ndio utashuhudia Chinga aliyekuwa anakupitishia mashati, soksi na ma-Taulo mikononi kukuuzia ukiwa kiti kirefu Bar au Pub Jijini Dar unakunywa, ukimkuta kwao Mtwara akiwa amevaa msuli kiunoni na kilemba kikubwa kichwani (kama Mwarabu, na huku akiwa Tajiri Mkubwa wa Biashara ya Gesi!!!

Utatokea wapi, si utambeba kichwani hapo?
Imetuchosha sasa kuona kila kitu kipo Dar Es Salaam!
ReplyDeleteKila siku Dar Es Salaam inazidi kupaa kwa kasi ya maendeleo huku mikoa mingine ikibaki mkiani na kuwa kwenye 'makalio' ya nchi!
Dar inakuwa kama Paradiso na kukimbiliwa na kila mtu kwa kasi ya Uhamiaji Mijini!
Wahanga wa hilo ni sisi wana Mtwara ambao kwa miongo kadhaa sasa tumekuwa tukidhalilika kwa kufanya Ajira ya kifo kama Umachinga!
Na sasa Gesi imepatikana badala ya kutupunguzia kasi ya Umasikini mnazidi kutukwamisha kwa kuisafirisha kwenda huko huko Dar!
Wekeni Mipango ya maendeleo kwa kuweka Viwanda na Miundo mbinu ya Gesi hapa Mtwara muone kama pana Machinga atabakia huko kwenye mateso Dar!
Hivi mnataka Dunia ituelewe vipi?
ifike wakati sasa watanzania tutambua kuwa, kila rasimali inyopatikna nchini ni ya watanzania wote na kila mmoja annatakiwa kufaidika bila kujali kama nimwenyej wa eneo inapopatka au ni mwenyej wamkoa mwingne... everything need to be centralized so that every citizen can benefit from it..
ReplyDeleteHe he he! Kweli usilolijua ni usiku wa kiza.
ReplyDeleteHivi unaandikaje article then unaanza kuicomentia mwenyewe 50% ya comments ni za muandishi believe me or not. Kwani lazima ichangiwe si ujumbe umepeleka inatosha?
Si bure una mapungufu we kaka tafakari chukua hatua!
Umeona siku hizi wamekushtukia hawana time, unalazimisha article ionekane kali.
Chinese are not bad people,just do not let them do retail business.they should help in Nation Building-roads,bridges etc.
ReplyDeletewhat happened to gas being mined at Kilwa Songo songo Mnara for years?It has not benifited People of the Region!
People of Mtwara need to put their foot down and demand to be included in the process.this is not going to easy.
