Mh Mnyika: "Hatua nilizochukua kuhusu barabara ya Kibangu-Makoka na fidia ya Riverside"

Maelezo yafuatayo ni ya Mheshimiwa John Mnyika,Mbunge wa Ubungo wa tiketi ya Chadema.Nayawasilisha kama yalivyo:

Hatua nilizochukua kuhusu barabara ya Kibangu-Makoka na fidia ya Riverside

Nilichukua hatua kuhusu barabara Kibangu-Makoka na Januari nilikwenda Makuburi kuchangia matengenezo ya barabara husika , leo nimemweleza diwani kazi iharakishwe na kuhusu fidia ya wananchi wa Riverside Manispaa imenihakikishia kuwa italipwa mwezi Machi 2012; kesho nitakuwepo tena Makuburi kwa ajili ya kufuatilia masuala ya maji.

Kazi ya mbunge ni kuwakilisha wananchi na kuisimamia serikali. Kama sehemu ya wajibu huo nilitumiwa SMS na baadhi ya wananchi wa Kibangu na Makoka katika kata ya Makuburi kuhusu ubovu wa barabara ulioongezeka mara baada ya mafuriko ya mkoa wa Dar es salaam. Pamoja na kuwa barabara hii ni ya ngazi ya mitaa kwa maana ya halmashauri ya Manispaa ya Kinondoni, nilichukua hatua ya kuunganisha nguvu pamoja na diwani na wananchi kwa ujumla.

Izingatiwe kwamba kuhusu barabara hii nilitimiza wajibu wa uwakilishi baada ya kukutana na wananchi wa eneo husika mwaka 2010 na kunitaka niipe kipaumbele katika bajeti, kwa kushirikiana na diwani tulifanya hivyo na hatimaye barabara hii imetengewa fedha takribani milioni 100 kwa ajili ya kufanyiwa matengenezo na Manispaa ya Kinondoni katika mwaka huu wa fedha 2011/2012.

Hata hivyo, baada ya kupokea malalamiko ya siku za karibuni nilifika tena tarehe 7 Januari 2012 na kufanya mkutano na wananchi katika shule ya msingi Mabibo/Makuburi kwa ajili ya kuanza harambee ya kuunganisha nguvu ya wananchi kufanya ukarabati wa dharura wakati ambapo matengenezo makubwa ya Manispaa yakisubiriwa.

Katika mkutano huo paliundwa kamati ya wananchi wenyewe na sisi wengine tulichangia fedha na kamati ikapaswa kuwaona wadau wengine zaidi ili kazi iweze kufanyika kwa haraka. Kamati ilikuwa ni ya wananchi wenyewe lakini tulikubaliana kwamba iangaliwe kwa karibu na Diwani na Mwenyekiti wa Mtaa husika ili kuhakikisha kwamba fedha zinatumika vizuri na kazi inafanyika kwa ufanisi.

Hata hivyo, kamati haikuweza kuanza kazi kwa wakati kwa kuwa walipaswa kupata utambulisho toka kwenye mamlaka husika lakini kukawa na vikwazo kwenye ngazi ya serikali za mitaa. 

Kwa maelezo niliyopewa na diwani ni kwamba pamekuwa na mvutano baina yake na Mwenyekiti wa Mtaa wa Kibangu kwa kuwa mwenyekiti husika amekuwa akinufaika na ukusanyaji wa fedha za “KITENGO”, ambazo ana hofu kwamba mchakato huu wa kuwashirikisha wananchi unaweza kutishia maslahi hayo. Diwani amenieleza kuwa kufuatia hali hiyo mwenyekiti huyo amekuwa akitumia baadhi ya vijana kupinga harakati hizo za maendeleo suala ambalo lilimlazimu diwani kuitisha wenyeviti wa mitaa yote ya kata bila kujali vyama kwenye kikao cha kamati ya maendeleo ya kata (WDC) kufanya maamuzi ya pamoja.

Mwanzoni mwa mwezi huu wa Februari wamekaa kikao husika, wenyeviti wengine wamehudhuria na kubariki kazi hiyo iendelee isipokuwa mwenyekiti wa Kibangu ambaye alitoka kwenye kikao kwa kususia. 

Wenyeviti wengine na diwani wamekubaliana kuendelea na utekelezaji wa kazi hiyo ya matengenezo ya barabara, kazi ilichelewa kidogo kuanza baada ya mabadiliko ya mtendaji kata kufanyika kwenye kata ya Makuburi. 

Leo tarehe 29 Februari 2012 nimemweleza diwani aendelee kusimamia kwa karibu suala hili ambalo liko kwenye ngazi yake ili ukarabati wa barabara ufanyike kwa haraka, na amenijulisha kwamba tayari walishaanza na maeneo korofi zaidi ili kupunguza adha ya usafiri. 

Nimemwambia Diwani aongeze nguvu zaidi ili pamoja na michango ya wananchi kufanya ukarabati katika kipindi hiki cha mpito mpaka pale Manispaa ya Kinondoni itakapokuwa na fedha na kukamilisha mchakato wa zabuni wa matengenezo yaliyotengewa fedha.

Kwa upande mwingine, kumekuwepo na tatizo la miaka mingi la njia ya kwenda Makoka kwenye eneo la Riverside kumegwa na Mto Kibangu kwa kiwango cha barabara kutopitika na hivyo wananchi wenye magari kuzunguka umbali mrefu. Mara baada ya kuchaguliwa kuwa mbunge wa Ubungo nilifanya uchambuzi wa Hansards za miaka ya nyuma na kuiandikia serikali itekeleze wajibu wa kuwalipa fidia wananchi husika ili njia mbadala kuweza upatikana, suala hili nimelifuatilia kwa karibu kwa nyakati mbalimbali kwa mamlaka zote zinazohusika. 

Tarehe 26 Januari 2012 nilifanya mazungumzo ya kikazi na wawakilishi wananchi toka Makuburi pamoja na Meya na Mkurugenzi wa Manispaa ya Kinondoni na hatimaye nikafanikisha wananchi hao kukutana na watendaji wa Manispaa na fedha zao za fidia kutengwa.

Hata hivyo, kabla ya kukabidhiwa fedha hizo baadhi yao wamekataa kiwango ambacho walikuwa wamekubaliana awali kwa maelezo kwamba thamani za nyumba zao zimepanda baada ya serikali kuchelewa kuwalipa kwa miaka mingi, hawajaridhika na kiwango cha riba kilichowapa nyongeza kwa miaka husika kwa kutozingatia bei ya soko.

Nimeendelea kufuatilia suala husika kupitia mikutano ya baraza la madiwani tarehe 25 Februari na 28 Februari 2012 na Manispaa imeahidi kufanya majadiliano nao tena kuweza kutoa nyongeza inayowezekana ili malipo yafanyike mwezi Machi. Nimemwelekeza diwani afuatilie kwa karibu utekelezaji na iwapo akikwama anijulishe ili niweze kuchukua hatua za kuingilia kati.

Natoa mwito kwa wakazi wa Makuburi kuendelea kutoa ushirikiano wa dhati kwa diwani katika kuhakikisha kwamba masuala husika yanafanyika kwa wakati, na iwapo hatua za kibunge zinahitajika msisite kunijulisha. Maslahi ya Umma Kwanza.

Kama JK alifanya Haya Akiwa Waziri,Ameshafanya Mangapi Zaidi Tangu Awe Rais?

Balozi Mahalu amlipua JK mahakamani

Wednesday, 29 February 2012 07:31

Aliyekuwa Balozi wa Tanzania nchini Italia, Profesa Costa Mahalu ANIKA ALIVYOSHIRIKI KATIKA MCHAKATO KIPINDI AKIWA WAZIRI MAMBO YA NJE, ASEMA ALIKUTANA NA MAMA MWENYE NYUMBA NA KUAGIZA ALIPWE DOLA MILIONI MOJA HARAKA, AKAMPA OFA KUJA MBUGA YA NGORONGORO  Tausi Ally ALIYEKUWA Balozi wa Tanzania nchini Italia, Profesa Costa Mahalu ameiambia Mahakama ya Hakimu Mkazi Kisutu kuwa Rais Jakaya Kikwete wakati akiwa Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa, alifahamu kuwepo kwa rasimu mbili za mikataba ya ununuzi wa jengo la Ubalozi wa Tanzania, Italia. Profesa Mahalu alisema hayo jana mbele ya Hakimu Mfawidhi, Ilvin  Mgeta wakati akitoa utetezi wake dhidi ya kesi inayomkabili  ya uhujumu uchumi na kuisababishia Serikali hasara ya Euro 2,065,827.60 pamoja na aliyekuwa Ofisa Utawala wa ubalozi huo, Grace Martin. Akiongozwa na wakili wake, Mabere Marando, Profesa Mahalu aliitambua barua ya Februari 20, 2002 ambayo ilikuwa ikieleza kuwa matayarisho yote ya ununuzi wa jengo la ubalozi huko Italia yamekamilika ikiwa ni pamoja na rasimu mbili za mikataba. Mahalu alidai kuwa katika mchakato wa ununuzi wa jengo hilo wakati yeye akiwa Balozi chini ya Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa, kulikuwa na rasimu mbili za mikataba na kwamba aliwahi kuwasiliana na wizara hiyo juu ya mikataba hiyo. Alidai kuwa Desemba 2001, Kikwete wakati huo akiwa Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa alikwenda Rome, Italia kwenye Mkutano wa SADC na alipokuwa huko, ubalozi ulifanya mpango atembelee jengo hilo lililopendekezwa kununuliwa kwa ajili ya ofisi ya ubalozi. “Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje ya Italia ilifanya mipango yote kwa kumpa utaratibu na usalama Kikwete ambapo alikwenda kutembelea jengo hilo na kukutana na mama mwenye jengo,” alidai Profesa Mahalu. Alidai kuwa kabla ya mazungumzo na mwenye nyumba, mtoto wa mama huyo, Alberto alimtembeza Kikwete kwenye jengo hilo ndani na nje na baadaye mazungumzo hayo yaliendelea. Balozi Mahalu alisema baadaye mazungumzo kati ya Kikwete na mama huyo yaliendelea na Alberto alikuwa akitafsiri, kwa sababu mama yake hakufahamu lugha ya Kiingereza. Profesa Mahalu alidai kuwa katika mazungumzo hayo, Kikwete alimwuliza mama huyo: “Hivi ni kwa nini kunakuwa na mikataba miwili?” na mama huyo alimjibu kuwa hiyo ni kawaida kwa Italia ukitaka kununua jengo kwa bei nafuu. Profesa Mahalu aliendelea kudai kuwa baada ya kupewa jibu hilo,  Kikwete hakuzungumza tena zaidi ya kucheka na kwamba mwenye jengo alimkumbusha kuhusu malipo ya awali ya dola milioni moja za Marekani ambapo aliafiki na kuahidi kuwa zingelipwa kabla ya mwisho wa mwaka 2001. Profesa Mahalu alidai pia kwamba Kikwete alimweleza mama huyo kuwa atalishughulikia suala hilo baada ya kurejea Dar es Salaam na kumshukuru kwa kuwauzia jengo zuri. Baada ya kutoa maelezo hayo, Profesa Mahalu alidai kuwa baada ya Kikwete kusema maneno hayo, alimgeukia na kumwambia: “Costa ni vizuri tupate hela tumlipe huyu mama watu wengine wasije wakachukua hili jengo.” Profesa Mahalu alidai kuwa baada ya Kikwete kumshukuru mama huyo kwa ukarimu wake, alimkaribisha Tanzania awe mgeni wa Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje yeye na mumewe na kwamba watampeleka Ngorongoro. “Tulipokuwa njiani tukirudi hotelini alipofikia Kikwete akiwa kwenye gari alimpigia simu Kibero akimuagiza afanye utaratibu wa kulipa Dola milioni moja kama malipo ya awali ya jengo hilo,” alidai Profesa Mahalu. Alidai kuwa baadaye alimwagiza (Profesa Mahalu) aje Dar es Salaam kufuatilia mpango huo wa malipo ya awali ya ununuzi wa jengo hilo. Awali, Profesa Mahalu akiongozwa na Wakili Alex Mgongolwa alidai kuwa anaitambua ripoti ya uthamini wa jengo hilo la ubalozi nchini Italia uliofanywa na Kimweri kutoka Wizara ya Ujenzi  aliyekwenda Rome Julai 15 hadi 26, 2001 kwamba jengo lilikuwa na gharama ya Sh6 bilioni. Pia alizitambua ripoti za uthamini wa jengo hilo ambazo ni ile ya mama mwenye nyumba ambayo ilionyesha kuwa jengo hilo lilikuwa na thamani Sh5.500 bilioni na ripoti ya uthamini iliyofanywa na Serikali ya Italia iliyoonyesha kuwa jengo lilikuwa na thamani ya Sh11.117 bilioni. Hakimu Mgeta aliiahirisha kesi hiyo hadi leo itakapoendelea kwa utetezi. CHANZO: Mwananchi

• Fraudster may have stolen $250million from Nigerian coffers as he rose through the ranks

• He owned SEVEN properties in Britain
• Ibori, 49, siphoned off millions by inflating state contracts

His rise from DIY store worker to international playboy with a £250million fortune is the stuff of dreams.

A few years after quitting his £5,000-a-year job as a cashier for Wickes, James Ibori had become one of Nigeria's most influential and richest politicians.

He wasted no time spending his new-found wealth on luxury homes, top-of-the-range cars, five-star travel and fees at exclusive boarding schools.

Playboy lifestyle: James Ibori, 49, admitted a fraud totalling more than £50million. The former Nigerian state governor had a fleet of cars and six luxury properties in Britain

But yesterday the 49-year-old stood shame-faced in the dock of London's Southwark Court as he admitted stealing tens of millions of pounds from the oil-rich state he governed in Nigeria. Scotland Yard detectives believe his fraud could exceed £250million.

He was on trial in the UK because much of the stolen money was laundered through his London office.

Ibori moved from Nigeria to West London in the late 1980s and was found guilty of stealing goods from the Wickes store he worked at in Ruislip in 1990.

 

A year later he was convicted of handling a stolen credit card. He moved back to Nigeria and worked for its president, Sani Abacha, as a policy consultant.

Rising quickly through the ranks of the ruling People's Democratic Party, he was voted governor of Delta State in 1999, winning re-election four years later.

In power, he systematically stole from the public purse, taking kickbacks and transferring state funds to his own bank accounts around the world.

Luxury: Exclusive home that Ibori bought in Hampstead, north London, with £2.2million in cash in 2001

He was helped by family members, including his wife Theresa, sister Christine Ibori-Ibie, his mistress Udoamaka Oniugbo, and Mayfair lawyer Bhadresh Gohil.

A massive police investigation into Ibori's activities revealed he had bought six properties in London, including a six-bedroom house with indoor pool in Hampstead for £2.2million and a flat opposite the nearby Abbey Road recording studios.

There was also a property in Dorset, a £3.2million mansion in South Africa and further real estate in Nigeria.

Extravagant: Ibori, 49, owned an apartment in this block on Abbey Road, London, opposite the famous music studios

Fleet of cars: The former Nigerian state governor owned a number of cars including this Bentley Continental worth in the region of £150,000

He owned a fleet of armoured Range Rovers costing £600,000 and a £120,000 Bentley. On one of his trips to London he bought a Mercedes Maybach for more than £300,000 at a dealer on Park Lane and immediately shipped it to South Africa.

He bought a private jet for £12million, spent £126,000 a month on his credit cards and ran up a £15,000 bill for a two-day stay at the Lanesborough hotel in London.

Prosecutor Sasha Wass told the court Ibori concealed his UK criminal record, which would have excluded him from office in Nigeria.

Extraordinary extravagance: James Ibori owned a fleet of armoured Range Rovers - including this one - bought with the proceeds of his £50million fraud

Large home: James Ibori's home in Abuja, Nigeria. Today he was facing a jail sentence after admitting a £50million fraud

'He was never the legitimate governor and there was effectively a thief in government house,' Miss Wass said. 'As the pretender of that public office, he was able to plunder Delta State's wealth and hand out patronage.'

The court heard Ibori abused his position to award contracts to his associates including his sister and his mistress.

Scotland Yard began its investigation into Ibori after officers found two computer hard drives in his London office that revealed his criminality.

Fraudsters: Solicitor Bhadresh Gohil and James Ibori's wife Theresa who have already been convicted of money laundering

Guilty: Ibori's sister Christine Ibori-Idie and his mistress Udoamaka Okoronkwo who have both being found guilty of money laundering

He was arrested by the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in December 2007, but two years later a court in his home town, Asaba, dismissed the charges saying there was not enough evidence.

When the case was reopened by Nigerian authorities in April 2010, Ibori fled to Dubai where he was detained at the request of the Metropolitan Police and extradited to the UK last April.

In a packed courtroom Ibori, dressed in a dark grey suit and black shirt, appeared in the dock to enter ten guilty pleas to fraud, money laundering and conspiracy on what was due to be the first day of a 12-week trial.

Luxury: Homes he owned in Lagos, Nigeria, and Kenton, north-west London

Homes: An apartment owned by Ibori's sister Christine Ibori-Ibie in Brent, north-west London (left) and a London property (right) owned by his mistress Udoamaka Onuigbo

His wife, his mistress and his sister were all jailed for five years each for money laundering offences following earlier trials.

Last March, Gohil, 46, and described as Ibori's London-based lawyer, was jailed for seven years for his role in the scam.

Attempts will be made to confiscate as much of Ibori's money and assets as possible so that they can be returned to Nigeria.

The Met's Detective Inspector Paul Whatmore said: 'It is always rewarding for anyone working on a proceeds of corruption case to know that the stolen funds they identify will eventually be returned to some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world.'

Ibori will be sentenced on April 16 and 17.

Wapende Au Wachukie Lakini Wapopo Wanazidi Kutuacha (Story and Videos))

Kwa Waafrika wengi,na pengine kwingineko ulimwenguni,Wanigeria wanatamba kwa sifa kuu mbili;moja mbaya  na nyingine nzuri.Mbaya ni tabia yao ya utapeli ambapo ni bora kulala na chatu mwinye njaa kuliko kumwamini Mpopo.Wenye uzoefu nao wanajua ninamaanisha nini.Sifa yao nzuri-hasa kwa wanaume ni kutamba katika soka takriban kila kona ya dunia.Inayoambatana na hiyo ni mfaniko makubwa waliyonayo wengi wao-hasa nje ya nchi (usiulize wameyapataje).

Katika hili la mafanikio,juzi juzi tu tumesikia wanamuziki kadhaa wa Kipopo wakivamia anga za muziki nchini Marekani ambapo tayari majina makubwa kama Snoop Dogg na Akon wameshafanya kazi nao.D'Banj kwa sasa anafanya kazi kwenye lebo ya G.O.O.D Music ya Kanye West

Kwa upande mwingine,wanamuziki maarufu wa Kinigeria P.Square, 2Face Idibia na Whizkid wamesaini kwenye lebo ya Konvict ya Akon.



Na wiki hii,gazeti maarufu la nchini Marekani la New York Times lina makala ndefu kuhusu kiwanda cha filamu za Nigeria kinachojulikana kama Nollywood.Unaweza kusoma makala hiyo ndefu HAPA.

Maendeleo haya ya wasanii wa kipopo yanaweza kuwa changamoto kubwa kwa wasanii wetu huko nyumbani.Japo kuna dalili kidogo za kutia matumaini baada ya wasanii AY na Jay Mo kushirikiana na wasanii wa kimataifa,kimsingi wengi wa wasanii wetu wanaendelea kutafsiri mafanikio kwa kigezo cha umaarufu ndani ya Tanzania (na kidogo kwa Afika Mashariki) na kuendekeza zaidi shoo za hapa na pale.

Aibu: Mume wa Rais wa Denmark Abambwa Akikodolea Macho "Eneo Nyeti" la Princess (VIDEO)

First Man of Finland caught gawping at Danish princess's breasts

The husband of Finland's president was caught on camera casting an admiring glance at the cleavage of Princess Mary of Denmark.

Pentti Arajarvi, Finland's "first gentleman", cast a glance as he sat next to the princess during a state dinner hosted by her mother-in-law, Queen Margrethe of Denmark.

As all eyes turned towards one of the evening's many speeches, Mr Arajavi's roamed down the neckline of the 43-year-old princess.

When she turned to face him, his gaze jerked upward and for a few awkward moments he pretended to be admiring the ceiling of the Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen.

An alarmed Princess Mary raised a protective hand over her neckline as Mr Arajavi, 63, continued to squint upwards.

The incident provoked a scathing reaction in the Danish press and is unlikely to do much for the country's relationship with neighbouring Finland, which is governed by Mr Arajavi's wife, Tarja Halonen.

It carries echoes of the 2009 G8 summit in Italy when Nicolas Sarkozy was accused of leering at the figure of a shapely Brazilian woman.

Mheshimiwa John Mnyika aikalia kooni DAWASCO,Aituhumu Kukiuka Mikataba,Ataka Hatua za Haraka

Tamko la Mbunge wa Ubungo kupitia Chadema,Mheshimiwa John Mnyika kuhusu tatizo za upatikanaji wa maji jijini Dares Salaam na ubabaishaji wa Mamlaka ya Maji Safi na Maji Taka (Dawasco):

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2012

DAWASCO imekiuka mikataba; hatua za haraka zinahitajika kuboresha upatikanaji wa maji DSM

Kampuni ya Maji Safi na Maji Taka (DAWASCO) imekiuka mikataba miwili muhimu inayoongoza kazi zake na kusababisha matatizo ya maji katika Jiji la Dar es Salaam ikiwemo maeneo mbalimbali ya Jimbo la Ubungo.

Imenibidi nitoe taarifa hii kwa umma kwa nilitumia taratibu za kawaida za kiofisi tarehe 14 Februari 2012 kuiandikia barua DAWASCO kuchukua hatua kuhusu tatizo la kutozingatiwa kwa ratiba ya mgawo wa maji katika Jiji la Dar es salaam hali ambayo imesababisha kero ya maji katika maeneo mbalimbali ya jimbo la Ubungo.

Hata hivyo DAWASCO haikujibu barua husika kueleza hatua ambazo imechukua, hivyo natoa mwito wa wazi wa siku tatu kwa DAWASCO kufanya ukaguzi wa mtandao wa maji na kurekebisha kasoro zilizopo na kutoa taarifa kwa umma kuhusu matitizo ya maji yanayoendelea katika maeneo mengi ya Jiji la Dar es salaam ikiwemo katika Jimbo la Ubungo. 

Kazi ya mbunge kwa mujibu wa katiba ni kuwawakilisha wananchi, kutunga sheria na kuisimamia serikali hivyo nakusudia kuchukua hatua zaidi za kibunge dhidi ya DAWASCO iwapo haitazingatia masharti ya mikataba husika na kushughulikia matatizo ya maji yanayoendelea hivi sasa katika jiji la Dar es salaam ikiwemo katika Jimbo la Ubungo.

Ikumbukwe kuwa DAWASCO ni shirika la umma lililoundwa kwa tangazo la Serikali nambari 139 la tarehe 20 Mei 2005 kwa mujibu wa Sheria ya Mashirika ya Umma ya mwaka 1992.

Tarehe 1 Julai 2005 DAWASCO ilipewa mkataba wa ukodishaji (lease agreement) na DAWASA ambao unaitaka DAWASCO kuendesha miundombinu ya maji na kuhakikisha matengenezo ya mtandao wa maji katika jiji la Dar es salaam.

Aidha, katika kutekeleza mkataba huo DAWASCO inapaswa kuzingatia mkataba wa huduma kwa wateja (Client Service Charter) ambao unaitaka DAWASCO kushughulikia kwa muda maalum malalamiko ya wateja na kutoa taarifa kwa umma kila panapokuwa na matatizo ya maji.

Kwa mujibu wa mkataba wa huduma kwa wateja DAWASCO inapaswa kushughulia malalamiko ya wateja na kuyajibu ndani ya siku tano na iwapo matatizo yaliyopo yanahitaji hatua za kiufundi; DAWASCO inatakiwa kushughulikia matatizo hayo ndani ya siku 30.

Kuanzia mwishoni mwa mwezi Disemba 2011 mara baada ya maafa ya mafuriko katika Mkoa wa Dar es salaam mpaka leo tarehe 22 Februari 2012 nimepokea malalamiko mbalimbali toka kwa wananchi kuwa hali ya upatikanaji wa maji katika kata mbalimbali za Jimbo la Ubungo sio nzuri kama ilivyokuwa baada ya hatua ambazo tulichukua kwa nyakati mbalimbali kuanzia Januari 2011 mpaka Septemba 2011.

Itakumbukwa kwamba tarehe 5 mwezi Septemba 2011 nilifanya maandamano ya kwenda DAWASCO nikiwa na wawakilishi wa wananchi wa kata mbalimbali za Jimbo la Ubungo ambapo tulifanya mkutano na Afisa Mtendaji Mkuu wa DAWASCO. 

Kufuatia mkutano huo DAWASCO ilichukua hatua mbalimbali ambazo ziliboresha mgawo wa maji katika maeneo kadhaa ya Jimbo la Ubungo kabla ya ratiba ya mgawo kuvurugika kufuatia mafuriko yaliyokumba mkoa wa Dar es salaam.

Hata hivyo, baada ya mafuriko hayo DAWASCO haikuchukua hatua zinazostahili kwa wakati na kuachia kurejea tena kwa mtandao haramu wa biashara ya maji wenye kuhujumu wananchi hususan wa kipato cha chini katika Jiji la Dar es salaam ikiwemo katika maeneo mbalimbali ya Jimbo la Ubungo.

Hivyo, bodi ya wakurugenzi ya DAWASCO chini ya uenyekiti wa Mhandisi Suleiman Said Suleiman na Mtendaji Mkuu wa kampuni Jackson Midala wanapaswa kurekebisha kwa haraka mfumo mzima wa ufuatiliaji wa DAWASCO kuwezesha ukaguzi wa ufanisi wa mtandao mzima wa maji.

Katika kipindi hiki cha matatizo makubwa ya maji katika maeneo mbalimbali ya Jiji la Dar es salaam ikiwemo katika kata mbalimbali za Jimbo la Ubungo DAWASCO iache kuwatumia wafanyakazi wanaohusika na ukaguzi kufanya kazi tofauti za kusoma mita na kugawa Ankara badala yake wafanyakazi tajwa wafanye ufuatiliaji wa dharura wa ufanisi wa mtandao mzima wa maji katika maeneo mbalimbali.

Baadhi ya maeneo ambayo yanapaswa kutembelewa ni kata za Makuburi, Kimara, Saranga, Mbezi Luis, Msigani, Kwembe, Goba, Kibamba, Sinza, Makurumla, Mabibo, Manzese, Ubungo na Mburahati. 

Kwa upande mwingine, kwa kuwa mkataba wa huduma kwa wateja unatoa haki kwa wateja wa DAWASCO lakini pia unaeleza wajibu; natoa mwito kwa wananchi katika maeneo mbalimbali ya Jiji la Dar es salaam kutimiza wajibu wa kuwaelekeza wakaguzi husika mitaa yenye matatizo katika mtandao wa maji ili hatua ziweze kuchukuliwa.

Mkataba huo unawataka wateja wa DAWASCO kutoa taarifa kuhusu uharibifu wa miundombinu, wizi wa maji na kuhusu matatizo ya maji hivyo wananchi watoe taarifa husika na kufuatilia wakaguzi kufika maeneo yao kwa kupiga nambari ya bure 0225500240 au 0762979627 za DAWASCO makao makuu.

Pia, wananchi wanaweza kuwasilisha kero za maji kwa ofisi ya DAWASCO zilizo katika maeneo mbalimbali ya Jiji la Dar es salaam na kupitia nambari zifuatazo: Temeke +255 775016184, Ilala +255 775048556, Magomeni +255 775016179, Boko/Tegeta +255 775048553, Tabata +255 775016181, Kawe +255 775016185, Kinondoni +255 775016180 na Kimara +255 775048554. 

Wananchi watumie pia nafasi hii kuwasilisha kwa DAWASCO maelezo na vielelezo kuhusu maeneo ambayo hakuna miundombinu ya maji kabisa au miundombinu iliyopo haijawahi kutoa maji kwa kipindi kirefu kwa ajili ya kutaka hatua za ziada. 

Matatizo ya maji katika maeneo mengi ya jiji la Dar es salaam ikiwemo katika Jimbo la Ubungo yamedumu kwa miaka mingi, wananchi wametupa wajibu wa kuwawakilisha kuisimamia serikali na mamlaka zake kupunguza kero husika kwa haraka hivyo wananchi watarajie vitendo zaidi vya kushinikiza uwajibikaji kwenye sekta ya maji katika kipindi cha karibuni.

Imetolewa tarehe 22 Februari 2011 na:

John Mnyika (Mb)
