A regional Co-operative Societies Bill is soon in the offing and the move is expected to streamline the functioning of Co-operatives at the EAC. This follows the decision by the House to grant leave to Hon Mike Sebalu to introduce a Private Members Bill entitled The East African Community Co-operative Societies Bill, 2013.
The leave was granted pursuant to the provisions of Article 59 (1) of the EAC Treaty and on Rule 64 of the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly. Once introduced, the Bill shall go through the procedures and processes of enacting legislation.
In his submissions to the House, Hon Sebalu indicated the usefulness of the Bill stating that it would enable the Co-operatives in the region to take advantage of the integration process and to function in line with international Co-operative standards.
“The Bill is demand-driven and we have interacted with the East African Farmers Federation (EAFF) and other stakeholders, all of whom have agreed that there are gaps which can be filled by enactment of the legislation”, he stated.
The legislator said the Bill was necessary to spur empowerment and to facilitate in organizing people at their levels of production. He said the citizens in the European Union had a similar legal framework enabling EU citizens to take advantage of organization within co-operatives and to maximize synergies. I believe we can replicate the same in the EAC region”, Hon Sebalu noted.
The motion was supported by Hon Leonce Ndarubagiye who said that optimal food production was a necessity. Hon Dr. Odette Nyiramilimo said development of producers remained a constant challenge. “They need to be in Co-operatives to record progress”, she added.
Hon Christophe Bazivamo and Hon Maryam Ussi further added their voices in support of the motion. Discussions on the Bill have continued among several stakeholders for some time now. In March 2012, a delegation of East African Farmers Federation paid a courtesy call on the (then) Speaker, Rt. Hon Abdirahin Abdi.
The EAFF and EALA, he said were keen to collaborate further to actualize a regional law on Co-operatives which it (EAFF) is mulling over.
‘Farmers are an integral part of our development not only for food security and secure livelihood reasons, but EAFF can be of much help in delivering the EAC integration dream particularly in areas of co-operation in technology transfer and the participation of ordinary people in the integration journey’, he said.
What for! Dont you know that we are about to break up soon?
ReplyDeleteHakuna sababu ya kulazimisha Muungano ambao tunashinikizana na kutakiwa kujipendekeza kwa wengine.
ReplyDeleteMuungano ni kuu cha ridhaa na sio kiulazimishana ktk kila maazimio yanayowekwa mezani.
Mfano Umloja wa Ulaya-EU, nchi wanachama ndio zimeungana lakini sio kila azimio ni lazima kila mwanachama kukubaliana nalo, Mfano ktk suala la Sarafu nchi nyingi za EU zinatumia EURO lakini wanachama kwama Uswisi wangali wanatumia SWISS FRANC, huku Uingereza wakitumia STERLING POUND na Norway wakitumia NORWEGIAN KRONER.
Hivyo sio lazima kushinikizana kuwa na Sarafu moja, tunaweza kuwa kwene Umoja lakini baadhi ya nchi zikawa na Sarafu yao.
Vivyo hivyo hata katika masuala mengine kama ARDHI(Land), UMOJA WA KISIASA (Political Federaion) NA MENGINE NYETI, hakuna sababu ya kulazimishana.
Mifano zaidi:
1.Ardhi, nchi za Rwanda na Kenya zina uhaba wa ardhi hivyo zinataka kupata nafasi kupitia EAC na hasa Tanzania ambako ina ardhi kubwa enye rutuba na ya ziada.
2.Maji, Wastani wa ugavi wa maji kwa nchji zeu EAC ni kama hivi hapa chini:
-Tanzania, Futi za ujazo 2,350 kwa kila mtu kwa mwaka.
-Uganda, Futi za ujazo 1,790 kwa kila mtu kwa mwaka.
-Burundi, Futi za ujazo 2,100 kwa kila mu kwa mwaka.
-Rwanda Futi za ujazo 1,300 kwa kila mtu kwa mwaka.
-Kenya, Futi za ujazo 790 kwa kila mtu kwa mwaka.
UMOJA WA MATAIFA NA MASHIRIKISHO YA MAENDELEO DUNIANI YAMEWEKA KIMA CHA CHINI CHA WASTANI WA LITA 2,000 ZA MAJI KWA KILA MTU KWA MWAKA ILI NCHI KUWA NA MAENDELEO NA KIWANGO BORA CHA MAISHA.
HIVYO TANZANIA NA BURUNDI TUNAOTENGWA NDIO TULIOFIKISHA KIASI CHA WASTANI UNAOHITAJIKA KIMATAIFA NA HIVYO WAO KENYA, RWANDA NA UGANDA WATATAKA TUSHIRIKIANE NA MASUALA YA MAJI ILI WAWEZE KUTIMIZA MAHIAJI YAO KUPITIA KWETU SISI TANZANIA NA BURUNDI WANAOTUTENGA, (((((HIVYO SIRI YA KUTENGWA IPO KWENYE MAMABO YA MASLAHI KAMA HAYA))))
NA MARA ZITO MAAZIMIO YANAYOWEKWA MEZANI AMA KUPIGIWA SANA CHAPUO NA RWANDA, KENYA NA UGANDA YANAKUWA NA MASLAHI KWA UPANDE WAO ZAIDI KULIKO SISI WENGINE BURUNDI NA TANZANIA.
KINACHO HITAJIKA NI SISI TUNAOTENGWA KUJIAMINI NA KUTAZAMA UKURASA MPYA WA KUKABILIANA NA CHANGAMOTO DHIDI YETU.
TUNGEANGALIA UMOJA NA NCHI ZINGINE HATA KAMA ITACHUKUA MIAKA 50 ZAIDI KULIKO KUTEGEMEA NA KILAZIMISHWA MATARAJIO YA MIAKA 5 HUKU TUKIKALIA KUTI KAVU KIMASLAHI!
MUUNGANO WA TIJA:
TUTAZAME MUUNGANO MPA NA NCHI ZINAZO AMINIKA NA ZENYE MALI KAMA:
1.KONGO-DRC, yenye Utajiri wa 24US$ Trilion
2.ANGOLA, yenye Utajiri wa 13 US$ Trillion
3.BURUNDI
4.ZAMBIA
5.COMORO
6.MSUMBIJI, yenye Rasilimali ya Gesi kama sisi 200 (TCF) Trilion Cubic Feet
KAMA WAO WANAELEKEA KASKAZINI KWA KUZIINGIZA SOUTH SUDAN, SOMALIA NA ETHIOPIA KTK EAC NAKUTUTENGA BURUNDI NA TANZANIA, SISI TUANZISHE ECAC (EAS CENRAL AFRICA COMMUNITY) AMBAYO ITAKUWA NA NGUVU ZAIDI YA HIYO EAC YENYE UCHOVU NA MIPANGO YA SIRI NA HUJUMA KIBAO.
Kagame, Kaguta Museveni na Kenyatta Uhuru:
ReplyDeleteMuungano haushinikizwi, mnaweza kuwa ktk Muungano kwenye baadhi ya mambo na mengine kila mtu akawa kivyake.
Kwa kuwa Muungano wowote ni ''CITIZEN CENETERED NA SIO LEADERS FORCED'' maana yake kwa ridhaa na maslahi ya watu wanachi husika wa nchi na sio Viongozi wao.
Nchi za Umoja wa Ulaya maamizi huwa yanapigiwa Kura na wananchi nasio kushinikizwa na kuamuliwa na Viongozi wao kama mnavyo fanya ninyi akina K-3 na Kundi lenu.
Mfano Muungano wa nchi za Ulaya EUROPEAN UNION, kwenye suala la Fedha baadhi ya nchi hazitumii Fedha za EURO kama UINGEREZA wangali wanatumia STERLING POUND , SWITZERLAND wanatumia SWISS FRANC na NORWAY wanatumia NORWEGIAN KNONER.
Inabidi muelewe KUWA KATIKA MUUNGANO MAANA YEKE SIO KILA MWANACHAMA KUWA 'MR YES' KWA KILA AZIMIO LINALOWEKWA MEZANI!!!
