Maoni yangu binafsi juu ya masuala mbalimbali yanayoendelea duniani

Msingi wa sheria za kodi ni kuhakikisha wazawa tunabanwa tusipumue

Kwanini kuna sheria za tozo za miamala wakati madini yanaingiza mabilioni ya dola na mchango wao kwenye bajeti ya serikali ni chini ya asilimia moja?

Kwanini sheria za kodi haziwalengi wanaohodhi ardhi kubwa kulipa kodi ipasavyo?

Kwanini mwenye ekari zaidi ya 50 asilipe kila mwezi angalau dola moja tu kwa kila meta moja ya mraba unaozidi ekari 50

Tukitunga hii sheria wangapi watabaki na maeneo ya ardhi waliyonayo?

Migogoro mingi ya ardhi inasababishwa na mapungufu ya sheria za kodi za ardhi

Tuseme tusiseme?

Tusiposema nani atatusemea?

Kufafanua madhaifu ya sheria ya kodi tunaomba tutoe mfano

Mwarabu wa Loliondo anachangia nini kwenye pato la taifa?

Bunge letu ni kiguu kwa njia kujipandishia mishahara na marupurupu lakini kwenye mambo ya maana ya kumtukuza Mwenyezi Mungu hatuwaoni

Mshahara wa mbunge unatakiwa uwe sawa na ule wa dakitari anayeajiriwa leo na asilpwe posho ya vikao.

Haiwezekani mbunge alipwe milioni 16 kwa mwezi na dakitari anayeajiriwa leo alipwe milioni mbili kwa mwezi

Hii ni aibu ya taifa!

Mshahara wa mbunge unatakiwa ushuke uwe milioni mbili hakuna posho za vikao na hili la posho liwe kwa watumishi wote wa umma.

Utumishi wa umma ni wa kujitolea siyo ATM mashine

Africa is waking up, no more exploitation from big miners

THIRTY-THIRD WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR A

FIRST READING
We will live by the covenant of our fathers.
1ST MACCABEES 2: 15 - 29

In those days; The king’s officers who were enforcing the apostasy came to the city of Modein to make them offer sacrifice. Many from Israel came to them; and Mattathias and his sons were assembled. Then the king's officers spoke to Mattathias as follows: “You are a leader, honoured and great in this city, and supported by sons and brothers. Now be the first to come and do what the king commands, as all the Gentiles and the men of Judah and those that are left in Jerusalem have done. Then you and your sons will be numbered among the friends of the king, and you and your sons will be honoured with silver and gold and many gifts.” But Mattathias answered and said in a loud voice: “Even if all the nations that live under the rule of the king obey him, and have chosen to do his commandments, departing each one from the religion of his fathers, yet I and my sons and my brothers will live by the covenant of our fathers. Far be it from us to desert the law and the ordinances. We will not obey the king’s words by turning aside from our religion to the right hand or to the left.” When he had finished speaking these words, a Jew came forward in the sight of all to offer sacrifice upon the altar in Modein, according to the king’s command. When Mattathias saw it, he burnt with zeal and his heart was stirred. He gave vent to righteous anger; he ran and killed him upon the altar. At the same time he killed the king’s officer who was forcing them to sacrifice, and he tore down the altar. Thus he burnt with zeal for the law, as Phinehas did against Zimri the son of Salu. Then Mattathias cried out in the city with a loud voice, saying: “Let every one who is zealous for the law and supports the covenant come out with me!” And he and his sons fled to the hills and left all that they had in the city. Then many who were seeking righteousness and justice went down to the wilderness to dwell there.

The Word of the Lord.

Who made covenant with me by sacrifice.
The heavens proclaim his justice,
For he, God, is the judge. R/.

And fulfil your vows to the Most High.

Would that you knew the things that make for peace!
LUKE 19: 41 - 44

At that time: when Jesus drew near and saw the city he wept over it, saying, “would that even today you knew the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes, for the days shall come upon you, when your enemies will cast up a bank about you and surround you, and hem you in on every side, and dash you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another in you; because you did not know the time of your visitation.

THIRTY-THIRD WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR A

MEMORIAL OF SAINT ANDREW DUNG-LAC, Priest, and COMPANIONS, Martyrs

FIRST READING
They celebrated the dedication of the altar and offered burnt offerings with gladness.
1ST MACCABEES 4: 36 - 37, 52 - 59

In those days: Judas and his brothers said, “behold, our enemies are crushed; let us go up to cleanse the sanctuary and dedicate it.” So all the army assembled and they went up to Mount Zion. Early in the morning on the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month, which is the month of Chislev, in the one hundred and forty eighth year, they rose and offered sacrifice, as the law directs, on the new altar of burnt offering which they had built. At the very season and on the very day that the gentiles had profaned it, it was dedicated with songs and harps and lutes and cymbals. All the people fell on their faces and worshipped and blessed Heaven, who had prospered them. So they celebrated the dedication of the altar for eight days, and offered burnt offerings with gladness; they offered a sacrifice of deliverance and praise. They decorated the front of the temple with golden crowns and small shields; they restored the gates and the chambers for the priests, and furnished them with doors. There was very great gladness among the people, and the reproach of the Gentiles was removed. Then Judas and his brothers and all the assembly of Israel determined that every year at that season the days of the dedication of the altar should be observed with gladness and joy for eight days, beginning with the twenty—fifth day of the month of Chislev.

The Word of the Lord.

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power,

You are exalted as head above all.

You have made my house a den of robbers.
LUKE 19: 45 - 48

At that time: Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer’; but you have made it a den of robbers.” And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him; but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people hung upon his words.

The Gospel of the Lord.
