Biashara ya Madawa ya Kulevya: Wafungwa wa Kitanzania Hong Kong waendelea kufunguka

[EMT]

Kuna barua nyingine tena zinazodaiwa kuandikwa na wafungwa wa Kitanzania wanaotumikia vifungo vyao huko Hong Kong baada ya kukamatwa na madawa ya kulevya. Anayechapisha barua hizo kwenye mitandao anadai eti ni za kweli na zinatoka kwa wafungwa wa Kitanzania walioko magerezani huko Hong Kong. Anadai kuwa yeye ni padri na huwa anaendesha ibada magerezani. Anadai huwa anatembelea magereza ya Hong Kong karibu kila siku ambapo hukutana na wafungwa wa Kitanzania.

Naomba nimnukuu kama alivyoandika yewe mwenyewe baada ya mchangiaji mmoja kwenye tovuti husika kumhoji kuhusiana na ukweli wa hizo barua.

Letter is 100% genuine, like the previous letters. And there's more to come. I am a Catholic priest, a prison chaplain. I visit Hong Kong prisons almost every day and often see the Tanzanian inmates. They are deeply upset that they will not see they families for many long years and that their families are suffering because of their imprisonment. I am trying to help others avoid the same fate ….as well as trying to help protect Hong Kong society from drugs. I also visit local drug addicts in prison ….the other side of the coin ….and I see the severe damage that has been done to their minds and bodies. This is a totally lose-lose situation and must be stopped

Kuhusiana na wafungwa wa madawa ya kulevya huko Hong Kong Balozi Marmo alishawahi kusema kuwa idadi ya Watanzania walio katika magereza na mahabusu huko China, Hong Kong na Macao, inatisha. Alipoulizwa hatima ya Watanzania hao, Balozi huyo amesema, "Tunawapa ushauri nasaha kwa sababu kuna udanganyifu mkubwa kwenye magereza hayo (walimofungwa), wengine wanaambiwa kwamba kuna uwezekano wa kuwarejesha nyumbani ili wamalizie vifungo vyao, lakini huwa tunawaambia hili jambo haliwezekani kwa sababu Tanzania na China, Tanzania na Hong Kong na Tanzania na Macao hatuna mikataba ya kubadilishana wafungwa.

"Na wala hatuna sasa hivi uwezekano wa kufanya jambo hili kwa sababu mzigo ni mkubwa, laiti ingepita miaka miwili au mitatu bila kuwa na mtu au mhalifu wa kuleta dawa za kulevya, tungekuwa na mjadala na mataifa haya." Anasema Balozi Marmo, "Kunakuwa na uchunguzi mkali sana, unachukua wakati mwingine hadi miaka mitatu. Hujui (hao watuhumiwa) wanazielezea nini mamlaka za hapa."

Zipo barua tatu. Barua ya kwanza inadaiwa kuandikwa na mfungwa Agosti 9, 2013 kwenda kwa Rais Jakaya Kikwete. Barua ya pili haina tarehe. Barua ya tatu inadaiwa kuandikwa Agost 8, 2013 kwenda kwa Dr. Mwakyembe na imeoothoresha majina ya wanaodaiwa kuhusika na biashara ya madawa ya kulenywa, yakiwemo majina ya viongozi wa kidini. Again, sina uhakika kama waliotajwa wanahusika na hiyo biashara. Mie nimekopi na kupaste tuu habari kama nilivyoikuta. kama yaliyoandikwa kwenye hizo barua ni ya kweli au uongo kwa kweli ni vigumu sana kujua.

Chanzo cha hizi barua ni 2013 na 2013

I am a Tanzanian male, aged 42, currently serving a 22 year sentence in a Hong Kong prison for drug trafficking. I write on behalf of all the Tanzanian prisoners in Hong Kong (we number more than 200)

I saw The Africa Review article

Tanzania on the spot over anti-narcotic war - the statement on war against the illicit drug trade by the head of the Directorate of Communications at State House, Mr Salva Rweyemamu, one of the officials in particular who really needs to to a bit of research before he comments.

In his statement he said that "the government was winning the battle over drugs", but he failed to elaborate his statement, and I have to say that Mr Rweyemamu has no clue of what he's telling the nation and/or he's a brand-liar who's trying to cover up the whole truth about the drug business in Tanzania and the heavyweights in the trade (who are also among his paymasters) and their associates.

The worst is that the article also mentioned that President Jakaya Mfaume Mrisho Kikwete is one of the veteran advocates in the war against narcotics. I am interested by the sub-heading "Big traffickers" and the fair question is: who are the big traffickers? The article has missed the point and failed to explain who are the big traffickers, and apparently Mr President is holding the names of those alleged as big traffickers, instead of exposing them to the nation as he vowed during the time of his campaign in 2005.

I feel the need to write in and express my disgust at the way the government has failed in the war against drugs. And the most disgusting fact about the government is the fact that they're only putting their muscles on "small fish" who most of the time are used as scapegoats for the drug barons.

Tanzania Intelligence Services, Tanzania Revenue Authority, Anti-Narcotic Bureau and Drug Control Commission - they've all failed to eliminate the endemic illicit trade. The police force almost 75% are a bunch of crooks, corrupted as hell. They're all bent, they're at the bottom of the drug trade chain, while there's more control up top.

I reckon that before the Presidential and legislators election in 2005, nobody used to notice Ridhiwani Mrisho Kikwete, the president's eldest son, a quiet but flushy law graduate. When his father suddenly got into power, Ridhiwani exploited the opening in the power structure to build his own empire and create his own version of the Tanzania Dream.

Through ingenuity Ridhiwani came to rule his city's drug trade and became one of the country's drug barons in a very short period of time. In the drug underworld, Ridhiwani became popular more than his father in the State House, a new power player who came to dominate the scene, courtesy of the Pakistan drug cartels who have forged a link with the young Kikwete - believed to be through one of his associates who had a link with other drug lords in Tanzania.

Heroin is shipped by vessels from Pakistan to the Tanzania coast strip regions such as Bagamoyo, Mtwara, Pemba and Dar-es-Salaam, and once the vessels approach the Tanzania coast, the drug barons arrange local fishing boats to pick up the sacks of drugs from the vessels outside Tanzania territorial waters, and then the local fishing boats bring the drugs to shore.

This is the normal trend of their operations and I would be shocked if Tanzania Security Agencies, Drug Control Commission and Coast Guard Force are not aware of this fact. I'll just call it incompetence.

Ridhiwani outplays most of the leading drug syndicates and has become not only one of the country's mainline corrupters, but part of its circle of civic superstars.

I'm one of many prisoners here in Hong Kong who worked with Ridhiwani. I'm not telling stories. I know of about 10 other inmates who have mentioned they had a link with Ridhiwani.

His method of action is very simple. He doesn't touch the drugs like most drug barons. He directs the whole operation. He's a senior mastermind. He uses his father's influence to orchestrate, plan and direct the operations.

I believe that one among the 100 people on the list of big time drug barons submitted to the president is his own son, and that's why he's still hesitating to tell the nation that one of his own sons is a drug baron.

Mr Rweyemamu, it's an established fact that the government has tried to win the war over small-time drug dealers - couriers - but do you think by putting mules behind bars things will change? Do you think by that failed policy your government is going to stop the drug trade?

Nothing is going to change, except maybe for the worse. The government needs to implement a radical reform in their policies on drug trafficking and start acting seriously.

Currently there's more than 200 Tanzania prisoners (men and women) serving long custodial sentences (ranging from 23 years to life imprisonment) here in Hong Kong, and the figure keeps increasing week by week. About 67 people were arrested between May and July this year (in Hong Kong)....98% of the couriers flew directly from Tanzania to HK, and for most of them their final destination was China where drug trafficking is punishable by death.

In China's two special administrative regions - Hong Kong and Macau - drug offences are punishable to by long custodial sentences - 23 years to life imprisonment.

This letter should be a wake-up call for anybody who might be approached by drug dealers trying to recruit him/her to smuggle drugs to China ....also for those who are still doing it...you'd better stop immediately or you will have to endure a long sentence in HK, or even death ... or hard labour in a prison in China for 20 to 30 years of your life ...if you survive (..it's modern day slavery).

Brethren, nothing is more precious than freedom in this world. You may not understand because you still have it, but bear in mind that it is better to live poor outside with your freedom rather than live rich in jail. Don't let any drug dealer lure you, school you or fool you to think you have a good chance of getting into Hong Kong undetected. The chances are very slim, even no chance at all. I've heard that HK customs will soon be checking every passenger with a Tanzania passport.

Once you arrive in HK with a Tanzania passport, you'll be under scrutiny as a drug trafficker and you'll be thoroughly checked by x-ray and scanning machines which are the best in the world.

Don't bring drugs into HK, Macau or mainland China. The bottom line is don't even think about it
So in conclusion I say the following to the Tanzania government law enforcement agencies - if you really want to dismantle the endemic drug trafficking trade in Tanzania, you have to try to go up the drug supply chain to the "Big Fish", and you have to do this without fear or double standards.

To my fellow country men and women I say - stay away from China and its territories. This people don't play no games. When they lay their hand on you, that's the time you'll understand how serious they are about the war against narcotics

majibu ya watanzania utadhani wamekatwa vichwa..ni matusi mizaha...km walivyokuwa wkaitania wanaojituma kujua mambo,kwa kuwaita wametumwa na kijiji sjui nini na nini..

thread nyingi hmu ndi majibu yao ya hovyo...mijinga gadi haiwezi tena ditect ujinga let alone source ya ujinga wao.Halafu ipo fast utadhani inahakika na ifanyayo.

 

[JERUSALEMU]

Lisemwalo lipo na kama halipo........Huyu dogo katajwa sana hapa mjini kwamba anahusika, jamani tamaa ya fedha itatupeleka kubaya. ndio maana wakati mwingine namkubali sana MUKUBWA KAGAME, hanaga mchezo kwenye mambo ya msingi hata angekuwa nani lazima aonje joto ya jiwe.sasa huku kwetu mmmmh.

Kagame is the man sio kama vasco dagama kazi kukenua meno, kujichekesha chekesha, na kusafiri ovyo safari zisizo na kichwa wala miguu..wala tija kwa taifa.

mtu anafugwa miaka 22 halafu anazubaa kutaja hata km ni mkulu..wanadhan miaka 22 hakuna kiogozi wa CCM leo atakuwa hai...na wanabahati wangekuwa Irani, China, MIsri n anchi nyingine wangeuwawa na magamba wasingehata sema wala taka hiyo habari ijulikane.


Sasa wanahofia nini?Bahati nzuri Hong Kong na Macau ni mataifa yenye ustaaramu wa kimagharibu na Kiasi kikubwa Ukristu unaongoza.ndio maana kifo kiwaponyoka.

 

[lynxeffect22]

inakera sana watu wanavyobeza hizi barua

tanzania hatutafikia level ya maendeleo inayostahili mpaka wananchi watakapoamka na kuhoji utendaji wa serikali na bunge

swali kwenye hizi barua;

1. it is a fact kuna watanzania wamefungwa nje ya nchi kutokana na madawa ya kulevya, je jeshi letu makini la polisi limeomba ushirikiano wa uchunguzi ikiwezekana kwenda kuwahoji hawa wafungwa na kujua wamefikaje kwenye hayo matatizo?

2. kuna drugs lords wametajwa kwenye hizi barua, je jeshi la polisi limefanya uchunguzi wa awali kujua vipato vyao ni halali au hapana kwa kuanzia tu?

kuna mambo mengi ya kiuchunguzi jeshi la polisi makini linaweza faidika na hizi barua si kuzibeza tu

 

[nkongu ndasu]

Barua fake

thibitisha ufeki wake binti., teh teh...

 

[Kichuguu]

Katika yote nilyiosoma, nadhani swala kubwa ni kwenye uboreshaji wa miiko ya Uongozi kama ilivyokuwa imeainishwa kizamani kwenye Azimio la Arusha. Kitendo cha serikali ya Tanzania kutokufuatilia mapato ya raia na vingozi wake kinasabaisha kuwapo kwa rushwa na mapato haramu kwa watu wengi. Kwa wenzetu, sheria inamtaka kila mtu aeleze mapato yake kila mwaka hata kama yametokea nchi za nje. Akibabaisha kidogo basi anaweza kuozea jera kulingana na kiwango anachoficha. Serikali ya Tanzania haina utaratibu wowote wa kufuatlia mapato ya raia wake; kuna mtoto wa mtu mzito aliwahi kusema "hapa ni mjini" kwa mwana kuwa utajiri wa kila mtu ni siri yake.

 

[nkongu ndasu]

Duh, wahusika wakuu ni wafanyabiashara, viongozi wa serikali na watumishi wa serikali, hapo kazi ipo!!

 

[Demarco]

Mtoto wa Rais ndani(Ridhiwani Kikwete)...katajwa na wafungwa duh

Sasa sijuhi ndio sababu ya kukaushia majina bila kuyataja

 

[nkongu ndasu]

Kwa ridhiwani kikwete uwezekano ni 90%. Na pia maccm wengine!

 

[PakaJimmy]

Majina yako wapi sasa?

This observation of yours has hardly blown my spine!
The war has been left to nobody, and the media is just murmuring at no action and support from the organs empowered on the war.

I was shocked just a day ago to see the Minister inspecting the airport corridors and interrogating the airport officials who seemed to have no idea of what is actually transpiring!
My question is, will a sole Minister's endevours save the nation from its death-bed?.,Obviously big No!

For the purpose of opening the eyes of those who do not know, the proceeds from drug dealings have been injected into our National budget for quite a period and that is the reason the top officials of our Gvnment do not dare to wage any wars against that lucrative but doom-biz!

And bcoz our politicians dont take no actions on this dirty deal, we the citizens have to decide. There is only one option left to wipe out this shameful and satanic trade...putting in place a clean government.
