Kipi kimemfanya Geofrey Mwambe aliyekuwa Mkurugenzi (Director) wa Kituo cha Uwekezaji Tanzania (TIC) kuteuliwa kuwa Waziri wa Biashara na Viwanda?

[ofisa]

Ingawa kafanya kazi BOT etc ila SIO COMPETENCE kwenye hiyo nafasi... Zamani when yuko BOT alikuwa very close na Bernard Membe.

Ohoooo tunapoteza mjadala,tunajadili mtu badala ya sifa za mtu stahiki kwenye nafasi ya TIC.
Nikipindi kizuri kwa vile nafasi hiyo ipo wazi baada ya huyu kuwa waziri.
Sasa masuala ya CV yake na maisha yake binafsi tusiyape nafasi.

 

[FOCAL]

Uzuri ujinga wenu umepevuka kiasi kwamba CHADEMA mnailinganisha na nchi na siyo na vyama vyenzake tena. Hii inaonesha CHADEMA imewazidi akili

Jambo hili unishangaza sana, yaani CHADEMA ni chama cha siasa tu tena kisicho madarakani kwa sasa. Lakini hata mambo yanayoihusu serikali na nchi kwa ujumla wanalinganisha na yanayotokea katika chama cha siasa tu. Yaani hawaoni madhara ya kuleta mzaha kwenye masuala makubwa ya nchi wanaangalia chama kimoja cha siasa kinavyoendesha mambo yake.

This is very shallow analysis, kweli elimu yetu imeshuka vibaya!! Yaani mtu mzima anabeza eti DC wa Manyoni hawezi kuwa Mkurugenzi TIC? Hakuna njia nzuri katika utumishi wa umma kuliko kupitia chini. Meneja wa benki ni lazima apitie kuwa teller; Meneja wa TANESCO lazima aanze kusona mita. Mkuu wa Polisi lazima aanzie constable. Kadiri mtu anavyozidi kupanda ngazi ndiyo mambo ya umakini, uzalendo na ufuatiliaji yanaingia, nayo pia ni muhimu sana, pengine even more. Lakini kwanza anzie grassroots.

Sijaona chochote kinachomtolea Mhe Geoffrey sifa ya kuongoza Wizara aliyopewa. Come to that, boss wake aliaanza kama mwalimu wa kemia shule ya secondary ya buswelu, nani alijua mbele atakuta makanikia yanaibiwa? AuCorona?

Of course, kwahiyo hoja yako inathibitisha kweli elimu imeshuka!!

Hivi umeelewa nilichoandika?!

Hivi umezingatia uhusiano wa TIC ambayo inahitaji corporate culture na u-DC wenye asili ya public bureaucracy?

Hivi unaweza kumchukua Bashite akawe DG wa Mamlaka ya Bandari kisa tu alishawahi kuwa DC na RC wa Dar es salaam?!

 

[Chige]

Hujafanya utafiti wako vizuri.. kabla ya kuteuliwa kuwa DC Manyoni Mwambe alikua ofisa mwandamizi (Mkurugenzi) Benki Kuu..

The problem watu mnadhani hoja hapa ni "cheo kidogo/kikubwa au taasisi ndogo/kubwa , uzoefu mdogo/mkubwa!!

Kwavile hiyo hoja yako nimeishaijibu na nisingependa kurudia kile kile, hoja hapa:-

Ingawaje umekosa ujasiri wa kunitaja, lakini mimi ndie nimehoji exposure yake na kuhusisha na kazi yake ya u-DC!

Mosi, unachanganya madesa kati ya EXPOSURE, JOB POST na WORK EXPERIENCE!!

Exposure haiangalii umefanya kazi kwa miaka mingapi ingawaje kadri unavyofanya muda mrefuzaidi kupitia right job ndipo unapanua your exposure pool!! Kinyume chake, exposure ita-judge umefanya kazi ipi na kwa interaction ya kiwango gani with a target group!!

Kwavile hoja yangu ilijikita kwenye nafasi ya Mwambe kama Mkurugenzi wa TIC, basi target group hapo ni business community, especially from foreign world kwa sababu huko ndo tunatarajia kupata Foreign Direct Investment- FDI!!

Now tell me: Kuna interaction ipi na kwa kiwango kipi kati ya Economist anayefanya kazi kwenye International Economics Department na Business Community especially from the foreign world!!

Mkurugenzi wa Bodi ya BoT as well as Mkurugenzi wa Bodi ya TRA wana interaction ipi na kwa kiwango gani with a target group as far as TIC is concerned?!

Ni matumaini yangu phrase "international economics" haitakupofusha na kudhani au kuamini kwamba hapo alikuwa ana-deal na International Business Community kwa sababu tu kuna keyword "international"!

And I repeat point yangu ya awali "...kwa interaction ya kiwango gani with a target group."

Kukuonesha umuhimu wa interaction with a target group, chukulia mfano wa Credit Manager na Branch Manager wa CRDB or any other commercial bank!!

Hapo Branch Manager ni Bosi wa Credit Manager BUT Credit Manager ana exposure kubwa na Business Community kuliko Branch Manager!!

Hawa wawili ikiwa wanaacha kazi pamoja, na kila mmoja anaenda kufungua Consultants Business Firm basi Credit Manager anaweza kufanikiwa kwa haraka zaidi kuliko Branch Manager kwa sababu huyu Credit Manager tayari ana business community members kibao aliofanya nao kazi DIRECTLY compared na huyu BM aliyekuwa tu anafanya loans approval with some little chat!!

That's what we call exposure... people with direct interaction with groups of our interests!!!

Hayo manafasi ya Ukurugenzi wa wizara gani sijui ni manafasi ya kutenegeneza sera tu hayo, na wala hayana direct interaction with outside the wordl!

But on top of that, Tanzania kama taifa inatakiwa kubadilika kwa kufahamu baadhi ya nafasi zinahitaji watu wenye uzoefu na corporate culture kwa sababu bureaucracy and public sector are brothers and cousins wherever you go.

Kuna baadhi ya taasisi, hata kama ni public, hizo kwa nature yake hazihitaji urasimu na ndio maana unashauriwa kuwa na watu wenye uzoefu na corporate culture!!

Mzee wa Msoga niliyemtolea mfano yeye aliliona hilo na ndio maana taratibu akaanza kuingiza corporate culture kwenye public sector hatua kwa hatua!!

Hapo ndipo akamvuta Rished Bade kutoka Barclays, akamvuta Omar Issa ambae hapo kabla hajateuliwa na JK, alikuwa CEO wa Climate Facility for Africa (aiming at improving investment climate in Africa)! Aidha akamvuta Julieth Kairuki na kumweka TIC pamoja na James Mataragio aliyemteua u-DG pale TPDC!!

Tatizo la Mzee wa Msoga hakuwa mfuatiliaji... alikuwa kwenye utopia!!

That's what we call corporate culture inayotoa direct interaction na corporate world na sio hawa wakaa kwenye viti vya kuzunguka kusubiri kutengeneza sera ambazo hata hazitekelezwi!!

CC: Chige

Nilishamjibu huyo kitambo lakini hakurudi tena!!

Guys... hapa sizungumzii uzoefu wa kazi bali umefanya kazi wapi na uhusiano wa uzoefu wako na business community kwa sababu nafasi kama TIC ambayo nilimwongelea huyo jamaa, una-interact na watu tofauti na wale ambao uta-interact nao hata kama ungekuwa Gavana wa BoT let alone Mwenyekiti wa Bodi!!

Ingawaje umekosa ujasiri wa kunitaja, lakini mimi ndie nimehoji exposure yake na kuhusisha na kazi yake ya u-DC!

Mosi, unachanganya madesa kati ya EXPOSURE, JOB POST na WORK EXPERIENCE!!

Exposure haiangalii umefanya kazi kwa miaka mingapi ingawaje kadri unavyofanya muda mrefuzaidi kupitia right job ndipo unapanua your exposure pool!! Kinyume chake, exposure ita-judge umefanya kazi ipi na kwa interaction ya kiwango gani with a target group!!

[Chige]

Mkuu Julieth Kairuki baada ya kupewa hiyo post alifanyaje?

Unamaanisha mafanikio yake, au?!

 

[Chige]

Kuna wachina nataka kufanya nao kazi ya madini,wamenunua mgodi mererani na mgodi wa dhahabu handeni....mpka leo wanasumbuka na vibali almost miezi 8 TIC wanawapiga tarehe.
Mtu anashindwa kuingiza dollar zake nchi kwa kuendesha kazi yani wamekata tamaa

And this's what am talking about!!!

Watu wa serikalini wameshazoea urasimu, na urasimu ni sehemu ya ufanyaji kazi serikalini na ndio maana ni jambo la hovyo sana sehemu kama TIC kukwekwa watu wenye uzoefu mkubwa public sector huku wakiwa hawana uzoefu na private sector ambako urasimi si sehemu yake!

 

[mbwewe]

Ingawa kafanya kazi BOT etc ila SIO COMPETENCE kwenye hiyo nafasi... Zamani when yuko BOT alikuwa very close na Bernard Membe.

Km hii ni kweli, kuna possibility kubwa hta hyo kazi yake ya kwanza ya u afisa kipenyo aliunganishiwa na membe

 

[pilipili kichaa]

Kwani Mbowe ni kipi kimemfanya awaonee wivu wanawake kuingia viti maalum?

Nahisi mna asili ya uwendawzimu kwenu, kwa comments zako huwa unaonekana huna ufahamu sawawasa hata kidogo. Bora uwe unakaa kimya kuficha upumbavu wako.

 

[LGF]

Of course, kwahiyo hoja yako inathibitisha kweli elimu imeshuka!!

Hivi umeelewa nilichoandika?!

Hivi umezingatia uhusiano wa TIC ambayo inahitaji corporate culture na u-DC wenye asili ya public bureaucracy?

Hivi unaweza kumchukua Bashite akawe DG wa Mamlaka ya Bandari kisa tu alishawahi kuwa DC na RC wa Dar es salaam?!

Nimeelewa ulichoandika, it is good but not quite that good. DC wa Manyoni anasimamia juhudi nyingi wilayani, tangu mifugo hadi shule na misitu. Huyo Mwekezaji wako TIC ataomba hekta 700 za pori Manyoni awekeze ng'ombe wa maziwa: Juliet hakuwahi kuwa mfugaji, anachofahamu yeye ni IRR na Moody's rating. And of course they rubbed shoulders Stellenbosch.

Umeshabikia sana neno "rubbing shoulders with investors". Nikukumbushe Mbunge Lema (naam, Lema huyo huyo) alisema siku moja bungeni kuwa Muwekezaji anakuja na PowerPoint presentation anatoa mada Sheraton, anatoka na hekta 10,000 Sumbawanga walime mahindi. Mr Lema is a shrewed businessman, majizi yanajuana. Hawa ni matapeli, bila experience ya DC Manyoni watakuchezea. Mfano rahisi ni wawekezaji wa tundulissu, si unajua walivyotuibia makanikia? They rub shoulders with fatmakarume all the time sasa wako Belgium, si Kengeja.

Waziri Geoffrey ana combination ya PowerPoint, ya Julieth, na ya DC wa Manyoni. Issue siyo rubbing shoulders, issue ni kuzidiana akili. I would rather have Waziri Geoff at TIC than you or your kind. Halafu kuna mtu kasema kuwa Waziri actually ni mtaalamu wa econometrics? Ulijua hilo?

 

[EINSTEIN112]

Wakuu amani iwe nanyi,

Jana Mh Rais ameteua Baraza la Mawaziri na miongoni wa Mawaziri walioteuliwa ni aliyekuwa Mkurugenzi wa kituo cha uwekezaji Tanzania Mr Geoffrey Mwambe.

Geofrey Mwambe amekuwa mkutugenzi wa TIC kwa kipindi cha miaka mitatu na katika kipindi hicho Mr Mwambe alichemka sana. Katika kipindi chake TIC ilishutumiwa sana kuzungusha wawekezaji na kuwa na ukiritimba kwenye suala zima la uwekezaji nchini mpaka kupelekea wawekezaji wengi kukimbia na nchi kukosa pesa.

Hali hii ilipelekea mpaka TIC kuhamishiwa ofisi ya Rais kwa kile kilichodaiwa kuipa ufanisi zaidi.

Swali langu: Ni kipi kimembeba mchumi huyu mpaka kuwa waziri ilihali huko TIC alichemka?

1. connection

2. Hivi anatokwa kanda ipi??

Unamaanisha mafanikio yake, au?!

Profesa Mwesiga na Mbowe nani mwenye elimu ya nzuri?

 

[Muju4]

Kazi nzuri tuu....Ukifanya kazi nzuri utaonekana.

 

[LGF]

Profesa Mwesiga na Mbowe nani mwenye elimu ya nzuri?

Kuna msemo wa Kiingreza, "the fence is always greener on the neighbour's side", yaani wengi hudhani cha jirani ni kizuri kuliko cha kwenu. Yesu alikuja kutukomboa, lakini Yuda Iskarioti alisimuliwa ya kuambiwa hadi akaona tutakombolewa haraka zaidi akiwasikiliza mafarisayo. Kikwete angesema kila akili ya kuambiwa na wewe tia yako.

CV ya huyu mama ni shallow kwa Waziri Geoff, nisikilize.

Enzi ya Community kulikuwa na University campus tatu: kwanza Makerere inafundisha walimu na madaktari; pili Nairobi ikifundisha wahandisi na masorovea, ya 4 UDSM ikifundisha sheria (jaji mkuu wote Kenya ni hapa).

Huyu mama ni sorovea, lakini haionyeshi kabobea wapi usorovea, baadaye tu tunmuona akifanya Development economics, alipataje admission? Gafla bin vuuuu kawa head of manufacturers association, straight out of the blue, she has done no manufacturing anywhere. Atakuwa alikuwa na mtu wake juu, kwa Kenya basically ni ukabila - Waziri Geoff hadi sasa hatujajua ni Msukuma wa wapi, na wala hatujali.

Haya mengine utapata shortcourses IFM au ESAMI au NBAA au Tanganyika Law Society annual dinner. Haionyeshi kama ana uwakilishi wowote wa kura, nasikia Ubunge wa Kenya au Jaji au IGP ni application kama love letter unayoombea ukarani. Ali Nacha.

Huyu mama sasa ni mbobezi kweli, congratulations, lakini kabobea on the fly, hakuumbwa mbombezi, if you see what I mean. Waziri Geoff ana digrii 2 tena za uchumi. Amekuwa DC Manyoni, ameishi na watu, katoa uongozi, kasimamia maendeleo. Between the 2 of them, gimme Waziri Geoff any time.

 

[emperor]

The problem watu mnadhani hoja hapa ni "cheo kidogo/kikubwa au taasisi ndogo/kubwa , uzoefu mdogo/mkubwa!!

Kwavile hiyo hoja yako nimeishaijibu na nisingependa kurudia kile kile, hoja hapa:-

Kiufupi tu Mwambe humjui..

Hoja inayoelezea Mtu kuwa na exposure iko subjective sana. Kwa uzoefu wa Mwambe na elimu yake nashundwa kuelewa ni kwa jinsi gani hana exposure na masuala mtambuka ya viwanda, biashara na uwekezaji?

Ili hoja yako iwe jadidifu, tujadili mafanikio ya kiutendaji ya Angela Kairuki akiwa TIC kwa sababu ana exposure unayoisema hapa. Ni kitu gani tume-miss tangia ameondolewa pale?

 

[emperor]

Issue ya wawekezaji kukimbia huyu jamaa mnamuonea,utawala huu ni kizungumkuti sana wenyewe unachojali ni kukusanya kodi na faini zakibabe,nimeona ka clip kadogo ka huyu waziri akilalakia kero wanazopata wafanyabiashara naamini kinachozungumzwa juu yake si chakweli

Nakubaliana na wewe

Ingekuwa "Kipi kimefanya....." Badala ya "kimemfanya......" Kateuliwa hakujiteua.
Baraza la mawaziri liliandaliwa hata kabla ya uteuzi wa wagombea! Wengi walishauriwa wagombee ikiwa ni pamoja na wakuu wa mikoa.

 

[Davan]

Mbona ukiiangalia Chadema kuna watu Wana elimu kubwa na CV kubwa lakini hawapewi nafasi za Uongozi? Mfano kwenye nafasi za Uenyekiti wa Chama na mbaraza yake ukiiangalia utaona wakina Mbowe na wachaga wenzake wamejazana fuatilia elimu zao hovyo kabisa

Kwahiyo Rais ameiga kutoka Chadema?
