Maoni yangu binafsi juu ya masuala mbalimbali yanayoendelea duniani

Tunashangazwa kuona mazingira ya kubaguana yanajengwa na sheria ya kuutukuza utumishi wa umma kama ni sifa ya kuwa mjumbe wa kamati ya uteuzi au tume ya uchaguzi.

Swali tunalojiuliza kama wewe una sifa ya utumishi mwandamizi wa umma au jaji inamaanisha wewe tu ndiyo mdau wa chaguzi zetu?


Kwanini sifa ya kuwa mjumbe iwe kamati ya uteuzi au tume ya uchaguzi isiwe ni mpigakura aliyejiandikisha na anajua kusoma na kuandika?
 
Kipimo cha uhuru wa tume ni kama itazingatia vigezo vifuatavyo:-

1) Kamati ya uteuzi itaundwa na mjumbe mmoja kutoka kila chama cha siasa kilichosajiliwa atakayeteuliwa na mkutano mkuu wa chama chake kwa minajili hiyo tu ma asiwe na wadhifa wowote kwenye chama chake au mwajiriwa serikalini.

2) Patakuwepo na wawakilishi 4 kutoka madhehebu ya dini kuwawakilisha wapigakura watakaochaguliwa na mikutano yao mikuu na hawatukuwa ma nyadhifa zozote kwenye serikali au kwenye mikutano yao.

3) Kamati ya uteuzi itamchagua Mwenyekiti wao na wataajiri secretariat yao na kujiundia kanuni za kuwaajiri makamishina wa tume ya uchaguzi

4) Makamishina wa tume ya uchaguzi na Mwenyekiti wao hawatakuwa watumishi wa umma bali wapigakura waliojiandikisha na siyo majaji wa mahakama ila wastaafu tu ndiyo hawatabanwa na sifa hizi.

5) Tume ya uchaguzi itapaswa kutangaza matokeo ya kila kituo kwenye tovuti yake na kuambatanisha vivuli vya fomu za matokeo ya kila kituo na kila jimbo la uchaguzi kuhakikisha wapigakura wanapewa taarifa za kutosha kuhakiki kama Tume ya uchaguzi imezingatia sheria katika kutoa matamko yake ya matokeo ya kura.

6) Kila mpigakura anayejua kusoma na kuandika anayo haki ya kuomba nafasi yoyote kwenye tume ya uchaguzi

7) Tume ya uchaguzi itakoma kukasimu mamlaka yake ya kikatiba kwa chombo batili cha serikali za mitaa kupitia wakurugenzi wa majiji na Halmashauri zake.

Hivyo, tume ya uchaguzi itaunda secretariat yake kuanzia kwenye majimbo hadi taifa.

8) Tume ya uchaguzi itatumia tekinolojia ya kisasa kuyasafirisha matokeo ya uchaguzi kutoka kila kituo kwenda kwenye tovuti ya taifa ambako yatapangwa kijimbo ili kila mpigakura aweze kujihakikishia kama zoezi ni wazi na linalohakikika

9) Watumishi wa umma tunawakataa kwa sababu wanawajibika kwa chama tawala cha CCM kwa hiyo wana masilahi mazito yenye mgongano mkubwa wa kuhakikisha CCM inaendelea kubaki madarakani hata kama ni kutohesabu kura na kutamka CCM kashinda wakati aligalagazwa kwenye masanduku ya kura
 
Bila ya kurekebisha sheria za uchaguzi na kumheshimu mpigakura kuna siku ambayo Mwenyezi Mungu kapanga atawaamrisha panya road wachukue nchi yao na hao mapolisi na makachero wa usalama wa taifa watabaki vinywa wazi hawaamini hata macho yao wenyewe.

Maana watavamia majengo yote na kuyapiga kiberiti na hawatatoka humo mpaka itungwe sheria ya kuifuta CCM na jina la CCM kuwa ni jinai kutumika kama jina la chama cha siasa na mali zao zote na za viongozi wao kutaifishwa.


Rekebisheni sheria ipasavyo badala ya huu upotolo unaoendelea ili mnusuru vitambi vyenu au panya road watawatolea uvivu.

Tunarudia tena na tena chaguzi zetu wadau siyo wateule wa Rais tu bali namba moja ni wapigakura na namba mbili ni vyama vya siasa.

Sasa unapojenga mazingira ya kamati ya uteuzi ikawa ni ya uozo uleule uliotufikisha hapa tulipo ili waulinde ujue unajichukia mwenyewe na siku ya shari itakapowasili utaongea lakini wakukusikiliza hutamwona
 
We must declare and confirm Zuchu is the greatest solo musician in history of Tanzania 🇹🇿 and had the potential to be the greatest of all time but she had made colossal error of judgment which will dwindle he capabilities to scale the heights.


Her voice is the Grammy winner but will probably never even be nominated because she is in the wrong team

She must jettison WASAFI because they have no vision and not purposed to get her to the top of musical world.

Wrong company corrupts even good manners.

She will always be an artist with unrealized potentiality: what a pity.

And, her association with Diamonds Platinumz is toxic, destructive and a destruction she needs right now.

She needs to dump that loser before she suffers irreparable damage.

THIRTY-THIRD IN WEEK ORDINARY TIME YEAR A

MEMORIAL OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

FIRST READING
I will leave to the young a noble example of how to die q good death willingly and nobly for the revered and holy laws.
2ND MACCABEES 6: 18 - 31

In those days: Eleazar, one of the scribes in high position, a man being forced to open his mouth to eat swine’s fleas. But he, welcoming death with honour rather than life with pollution, went up to the rack of his own accord, spitting out the flesh, as men ought to go who have the courage to refuse things that it is not right to taste, even for the natural love of life. Those who were in charge of that unlawful sacrifice took the man aside, because of their long acquaintance with him, and privately urged him to being meat of his own providing, proper for him to use, and pretend that he was eating the flesh of the sacrificial meal which had been commanded by the king, so that by doing this he might be saved from death, and be treated kindly on account of his old friendship with them. But making a high resolve, worthy of his years and the dignity of his old age and the grey hairs which he had reached with distinction and his excellent life even from childhood, and moreover according to the holy God-given law, he declared himself quickly, telling them to send him to Hades. “Such pretence is not worthy of our time of life,” he said, “lest many of the young should suppose that Eleazar in his ninetieth year has gone river to an alien religion, and through my pretence, for the sake of living a brief moment longer, they should be led astray because of me, while I defile and disgrace my old age. For even if for the present I should avoid the punishment of men, yet whether I live or die I shall not escape the hands of the Almighty. Therefore, by manfully giving up my life now, I will show myself worthy of my old age and leave to the young a noble example of how to die a good death willingly and nobly for the revered and holy laws.” When he had said this, he went at once to the rack. And those who a little before had acted towards him with good will now changed to ill will, because the words he had uttered were in their opinion sheer madness. When he was about to die under the blows, he groaned aloud and said: “It is clear to the Lord in his holy knowledge that, though I might have been saved from death, I am enduring terrible sufferings in my body under this beating, but in my soul I am glad to suffer these things because I fear him.” So in this way he died, leaving in his death an example of nobility and a memorial of courage, not only to the young but to the great body of his nation.

The Word of the Lord.

“The Son of man came to seek and to save the lost.”
LUKE 19: 1 - 10

At that time: Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. And there was a man named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector, and rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today.” So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw it they all murmured, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost.”

THIRTY-THIRD WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR A

MEMORIAL OF SAINT CECILIA, Virgin & Martyr

FIRST READING
The Creator of the world will give life and breath back to you again.
2ND MACCABEES 7: 1, 20 - 31

In those days: It happened also that seven brothers and their mother were arrested and were being compelled by the king, under torture with whips and cords, to partake of unlawful swine’s flesh. The mother was especially admirable and worthy of honourable memory. Though she saw her seven sons perish within a single day, she bore it with good courage because of her hope in the Lord. She encouraged each of them in the language of their fathers. Filled with a noble spirit, she fired her woman’s reasoning with a man’s courage, and said to them, “I do not know how you came into being in my womb. It was not I who gave you life and breath, nor I who set in order the elements within each of you. Therefore the Creator of the world, who shaped the beginning of man and devised the origin of all things, will in his mercy give life and breath back to you again, since you now forget yourselves for the sake of his laws.” Antiochus felt that he was being treated with contempt, and he was suspicious of her reproachful tone. The youngest brother being still alive, Antiochus not only appealed to him in words, but promised with oaths that he would make him rich and enviable if he would turn from the ways of his fathers, and that he would take him for his friend and entrust him with public affairs. Since the young man would not listen to him at all, the king called the mother to him and urged her to advise the youth to save himself. After much urging on his part, she undertook to persuade her son. But, leaning close to him, she spoke in their native tongue as follows, deriding the cruel tyrant: “My son, have pity on me. I carried you nine months in my womb, and nursed you for three years, and have reared you and brought you up to this point in your life, and have taken care of you. I beg you, my child, to look at the heaven and the earth and see everything that is in them, and recognise that God did not make them out of things that existed. Thus also mankind comes into being. Do not fear this butcher, but prove worthy of your brothers. Accept death, so that in God’s mercy I may get you back again with your brothers.” While she was still speaking, the young man said, “What are you waiting for? I will not obey the king’s command, but I obey the command of the law that was given to our fathers through Moses. But you, who have contrived all sorts of evil against the Hebrews, will certainly not escape the hands of God.

The Word of the Lord.


RESPONSORIAL PSALM
Psalm 17: 1, 5 - 6, 8 and 15 (R.) 15b

R/. When I awake, I shall be filled with the vision of your presence, O Lord.

O Lord, hear a cause that is just,
Pay heed to my cry.
Trim your ear to my player:
no deceit is on my lips. R/.

I kept my steps firmly in your paths.
My feet have never faltered.
To you I call; for you will surely heed me, O God.
Turn your ear to me; hear my words. R/.

Guard me as the apple of your eye.
Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
As for me, in justice I shall behold your face;
when I awake I shall be filled with the
Vision of your presence. R/.


GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
John 15: 16

Alleluia.
I chose you from the world that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide, says the Lord.
Alleluia.


GOSPEL
Why did you not put my money into the bank?
LUKE 19: 11 - 28

At that time: Jesus proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. He said therefore, “A nobleman went into a far country to receive kingly power and then return. Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them, ‘Trade with these till I come.’ “But his citizens hated him and sent an embassy after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’ “When he returned, having received the kingly power, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading. The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your pound has made ten pounds more.’ “And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’ “And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, your pound has made five pounds.’ “And he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’ “Then another came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your pound, which I kept laid away in a napkin; for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.’ “He said to him, ‘I will condemn you out of your own mouth, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow? Why then did you not put my money into the bank, and at my coming I should have collected it with interest?’ “And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the pound from him, and give it to him who has the ten pounds.’ “(And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten pounds!’) “‘I tell you, that to every one who has will more be given; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.”’ And when Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

I found this article👇 so interesting about honest-

I used to criticize African companies like Dangote Group who hire so many Indians while there are many unemployed Africans, but now I understand their painful decision.

The biggest challenge in our manufacturing businesses is not power or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting an honest workforce.

Everyone we hire seems to be on a mission to steal as much as possible from inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced.

The worst part of this is that all of the fraud we've uncovered is not committed by one person, it's usually multiple staff members colluding with each other, from production to sales to finance, even management.

I reviewed management 3 times in one year.

It got so bad at one point that my main criteria for hiring staff was no longer competence or certificates, but honesty.

At least skills and abilities can be acquired, but once you're dishonest, you're beyond repair.

We always complain about the economy and the fact that there are no jobs. I know people abroad who would love to start job-creating businesses in Africa, but they can't because they can't get someone they trust to run it.

I know people in Africa with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses, but they can't because they are busy elsewhere and can't get someone they trust to run the business. So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they will just buy treasury bills, while the thieves scream no jobs and no food.

I bet big African organizations like Dangote can set up shop in any African country and create millions of jobs, but I bet corruption and dishonesty at the top of government is what keeps them from helping Africa.

Many great companies would be born in Africa if we could engage in partnerships, but we can't because you can't trust anyone.

This is an advantage that the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Africa. They can pool resources and do mega-businesses, unlike the Africans. *One person has to do everything because we can't partner, so we end up with small and very small businesses.

*Even siblings CANNOT run a business together. The dying or dead super stores in East Africa that would have become the Walmarts...are a great example.

Start a poultry farm and they will steal your eggs. Some will even go ahead and kill the chickens so that they are allowed to take them home.

Start an entertainment/viewing/gaming center and they will pocket your money. On the days you are in the business, the money made will be 10 times more than when you are not there. Because they are eating your money and eating their future.

Buy and lease a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as they finish you off.

Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.

Even the regular grocery store or kiosk attendants will find a way to steal from the small investors.

You will see them quoting their perversity by saying, "The goat grazes where it is tied, " Hmmmm"

Imagine them *justifying theft at work, killing their own jobs and the development of Africa.

You will see these people *poking their twisted fingers at politicians when they are no different.

I usually say that "the reason most Africans haven't stolen billions of government money is simply lack of opportunity.

The few honest Africans, both in government and in the private sector, are considered stupid.

You are not stupid. You are what Africa desperately and painfully needs.

How are we going to evolve when those who are supposed to oversee and manage stores, kiosks, supermarkets, factories, schools, hospitals, water works, road construction, street cleaning, power plants, bus fleets, parking collections, building construction, etc., are the ones who conspire to steal from small local investors, large local investors, governments and foreign investors?

How will we evolve when our school principals are the ones plotting to steal school supplies, school fees and school food, etc.?

How will we evolve when our hospital officials are the ones who plot to steal medicine, beds, sheets, blankets, food, consultation fees, etc.?

How? How? Cry our beloved continent.

How will we evolve when the officials responsible for ensuring and enforcing standards and reducing cost estimates are those who conspire with local and foreign contractors to inflate costs and reduce work standards to steal public money for personal gain.

At all levels, "Africans are Africa's problem.

In my opinion, the simple reason, which can be replicated across the continent, why Rwanda is a rising star in Africa is that Rwandans and foreign development partners and investors know that the country's top leadership cannot accept dishonesty in both public and private service.

Partners imagine 54 Paul Kagame at the head of African countries!!!

Even the so called western world and eastern world would not want that because we would be FIRST in 10 years.

We Africans need to wake up and rethink Africa.

Africans at all jobs from the sweeper to the craftsman, the salesman, the storekeeper, the driver, the tea or coffee or flower picker, the purchasing manager, the head of the governor, the nurse, the doctor, the cook, the painter, the builder, the senator and the minister must be honest for the sake of mother Africa.

By being dishonest, we violate Mother Africa. Foreign elements know our dishonesty and so they come to Africa to steal our vast natural resources with abandon and give a few crumbs of bread to those Africans in charge of running our countries at the expense of our development and self-sufficiency.

Who will save us from ourselves?

Africa can rise again. Let Africa rise. Stand up and be counted as a people.

It is time to CHANGE...

Karim KONE, former CEO of BRS-Burkina
