Nashindwa kuona kuchoka katika kauli hii! Naiona kama kauli ifaayo kwa utawala bora!
Ama kweli ile asilimia 70 aliyosema Kiwete haiko tunakofikiria tu bali hata miongoni mwa wanaojifanya wako katika asilimia 30 ya upande wa pili.
MAKAMU Mwenyekiti wa CCM Bara, Pius Msekwa, amewataka wabunge wanaolalamika kuwapo kwa fedha chafu zinazomwagwa majimboni mwao waache hadithi na badala yake wapeleke ushahidi.
Msekwa amesema ofisini kwake kuwa, madai hayo pamoja na ya CCM kutumia fedha za mafisadi, yamekuwa sawa na hadithi inayochosha.
Haya madai sasa yamekuwa kama hadithi hao mafisadi ni akina nani, tumechoka kusikia, ila ningeshauri kuwa wanaosema hivi wangewataja hao wanaozimwaga hizo fedha chafu na wanapozitoa, alisema Msekwa.
Alisema madai hayo ni moja ya dalili za kuwapo kwa vuguvugu la uchaguzi na wasiwasi, kwa vile sasa Tanzania inaelekea katika mwaka wake wa uchaguzi mkuu ambao unatarajiwa kufanyika baadaye mwaka huu.
Kama nilivyosema hapo mwanzo haya yote ni vuguvugu na joto la uchaguzi watu wana wasiwasi na nafasi zao, wanasema tu lakini hakuna mwenye ushahidi, alisema.
Juzi gazeti moja la kila siku, liliwakariri baadhi ya wabunge wakilalamikia kumwagwa kwa fedha chafu katika majimbo yao, ili kuhakikisha kuwa nafasi zao zinachukuliwa na hawafurukuti katika uchaguzi ujao.
Gazeti hilo liliwataja wabunge hao kuwa ni Mbunge wa Kishapu, Fred Mpendazoe (CCM), Mbunge wa Muhambwe, Felix Kijiko (CCM) na wajumbe wa Halmashauri Kuu ya Taifa ya CCM wilaya ya Sengerema mkoani Mwanza.
Wajumbe hao nao walidai kuwa watazipokea fedha zinazodaiwa kutolewa kwa ajili ya uwashawishi wa kuwachagua viongozi wanaowataka katika uchaguzi mkuu mwakani lakini hawatadanganyika.
It is a shame kuona watu ambao walikuwa wakiheshimika huko nyuma kwa Mwalimu kuwapa nyadhifa za juu za uongozi wa nchi yetu wamebadilika na kuwa waongo na walaghai! Kumbe walikuwa ni chui waliovaa ngozi ya kondoo mbele ya Mwalimu!
Mzee Msekwa, at the back of his mind and at the bottom of his heart anaelewa wazi kwamba kinachodaiwa na wananchi si HADITHI kama anavyodai ila ni ukweli ambao wao waliutenda na kwa kipindi chote tangu mambo yawekwe hadharani wamekuwa aidha wanakana ama wanatafuta kila njia ya kuyafunika na kutaka wananchi wasahau. Wananchi hawawezi kusahau kwa sababu moja kubwa - viongozi wao wamewasaliti na wanaendelea kuwasaliti kwa kauli kama za akina Msekwa! Shame on Mzee huyu na wengine wenye kufanya afanyavyo yeye!
Shame on you guys who can not tolerate opinions of others. What is wrong with Msekwa's statement. Those MPs who have failed to deliver to their constituencies aremaking noises that mafisadi are poring money. They have to prove and let these fisadis be arrested. HATUWEZI KUWA TAKEN FOR GRANTED NA WATU WALIOSHINDWA KUHUDUMIA MAJIMBO YAO.
It is not a matter of tolerating others' opinions. Kauli ya Msekwa ni ya kujihami, kuwakingia kifua mafisadi na kuwafanya wananchi wanaolalamika ni wajinga. No way! Watu hawawezi tu kukurupuka na kudai kwamba kuna watu wanamwaga fedha za kifisadi wakati si kweli. Lisemwalo lipo. Msekwa kwa wadhifa wake wa Makamu Mwenyekiti wa CCM or whatever post he has angelichukua fursa ya kufanya uchunguzi kubaini wanaomwaga hizo fedha badala ya kukimbilia kukanusha kwa madhumuni tu ya kuficha uozo wa CCM. Mwalimu huko aliko anageuka mara kadha wa kadha kwa usaliti wa watu kama Msekwa!

kwa dunia ya sasa watu wanaweza kuleta madai hewa kwa ajili ya kujilinda katika harakati zao za kisiasa,na wengi wanasema uongo,nadhani si vyema tuwe tunakubali kilakitu wanachosema wanasiasa kwa kuamini kwamba lisemwalo lipo.kama wana uhakika wawataje na si kurusha maneno tu,aliyosema mzee si mabaya na wala hayaonyeshi dalili ya kuchoka.tatizo ni msekwa na kama yangetoka kinywani kwa mwingine miongoni mwa wale unaowakubali labda yangekuwa mazuriIt is not a matter of tolerating others' opinions. Kauli ya Msekwa ni ya kujihami, kuwakingia kifua mafisadi na kuwafanya wananchi wanaolalamika ni wajinga. No way! Watu hawawezi tu kukurupuka na kudai kwamba kuna watu wanamwaga fedha za kifisadi wakati si kweli. Lisemwalo lipo. Msekwa kwa wadhifa wake wa Makamu Mwenyekiti wa CCM or whatever post he has angelichukua fursa ya kufanya uchunguzi kubaini wanaomwaga hizo fedha badala ya kukimbilia kukanusha kwa madhumuni tu ya kuficha uozo wa CCM. Mwalimu huko aliko anageuka mara kadha wa kadha kwa usaliti wa watu kama Msekwa!

since the closure of the ccm national executive committee (nec) meeting which ended in dodoma on 17th august 2009, there has been a great deal of media reports, focussing on what is believed to have transpired in that meeting regarding hon. Speaker samuel sitta.
the print media has been awash with stories describing what they claim to be "information from sources inside the meeting".
the proceedings of the nec meeting of august, 2009.
·the agenda item under discussion was, the current state of politics in the country (hali ya kisiasa).. Among them was an item titled "matamshi na vitendo vya baadhi ya viongozi wa ccm", (the conduct of and utterances by some ccm leaders). Particular reference was made to certain unacceptable utterances which have been made by members of parliament, and others of the zanzibar house of representantives in their respective houses, as well as the conduct of speaker samuel sitta.
·these problems relate to (a) the appearance of confrontational groups among the ccm members of parliament seemingly based on the question of ufisadi; (b) the injudicious utterances and conduct of some members of those organs of state. Hence it was prudent and necessary for nec to discuss these negative developments with a view to finding a viable solution, and taking appropriate remedial action where necessary.
framing the contested issues
as is normally done in court proceedings, the starting point is normally the framing of the issues to be considered during the hearing. These issues are framed on the basis of what has been extensively reported in the print media, because that appears to be the public perception regarding the proceedings of that nec meeting. the issues can be listed as follows:
·did the discussions in the national executive committee of ccm amount to questioning the proceedings of parliament, which is a breach of article 100 of the country's constitution?
·was it proper and justifiable for the ccm national executive committee to discuss the conduct inside parliament of its mps, including the speaker? In other words, did such action constitute a breach of the law governing the powers and privileges of parliament?
·was the speaker "clobbered" in that meeting because of his front line position in the war against mafisadi?
· was it a move by nec to silence its vocal ccm mps?
findings & conclusion
- the media reports do not reflect this primary concern of nec, as they seem to concentrate almost entirely on the speaker.the ccm nec has the necessary powers to discuss the conduct of its leaders.. i.e. To maintain a regular watch over the conduct and actions of its members and leaders) on the basis of the mandate given to it by the ccm constitution (article 10 -"kudumisha uangalizi juu ya vitendo vya wanachama na viongozi wa ccm"
- speaker was criticized for failure to observe, while guiding the proceedings of the house, the parliamentary conventions regarding the operation of the oversight function of parliament over the government in a multi-party parliament.
- the ccm mps were collectively criticized for failure to make proper use of their ccm parliamentary standing committee, or caucus, whose functions are clearly spelt out in the rules of that committee. The use of this committee could have averted the unnecessary public confrontations among and between them, which have been taking place on the floor of the house.
- question: "was there a breach of the law governing the powers and immunities of parliament? Or of article 100 of the constitution of the united republic of tanzania?" the answer to both questions is "no". Artilce 100 of the constitution of the united republic of tanzania is an exact reproduction of this declaration in the english bill of rights of 1689, and is therefore subject to the same interpretation. "article 9 of the bill of rights prohibits the questioning of the proceedings of parliament in any place outside parliament. nec meeting did not discuss the proceedings of parliament, but discussed only the conduct of its ccm mps, as participants in those proceedings.
- "it is a basic principle of british constitutional practice that the function of parliament is to control the government, but not to govern the country. that the government is accountable to parliament. Parliament may indeed criticize ministers, but should not obstruct them in the performance of their government functions. that there is loyality, discipline and a strong team spirit among the back-bench mps of the ruling party. It is the non-observance of conventions and principles which were adopted from the westminster model a long time ago by the tanzania parliament, that was the basis of the criticisms directed to the speaker by the national executive committee, and certainly not because of his stand regarding the war against ufisadi, which is the false impression that seems to be rapidly gaining ground.
- the ccm mps were collectively criticized for their lack of party loyalty and disciplne which, under that convention, is routinely expected from the ruling party's mps, due to the team spirit which is presumed to exist among them. as for the speaker, his critics challenged his conduct of allegedly failing to observe and adhere to these parliamentary conventions..
- this action by nec can be faulted on procedural grounds because ccm has got good and well-established rules of procedure for prosecuting any of its members or leaders who are alleged to have breached the party's code of ethics. The said rules provide for the alleged wrong-doer to be given a list of charges against him, and given ample opportunity to answer those charges. It is admitted that these procedural rules were not followed in the instant case.
- there was no move at all to silence the ccm mps. On the contrary, nec was drawing their collective attention and reminding them of the existence of the ccm caucus rules, which were specifically designed in order to facilitate their meaningful participation as members of the ruling party, in debates on the floor of parliament.
- after the elections have determined the winners who will sit on the government side in parliament, and the losers who will occupy the opposition benches, multi-party competition now moves to parliament, and continues to take place therein.
