Tanzania's Tundu Lissu recovering well at Aga Khan Nairobi

Opposition MP Tundu Lissu's condition is improving at a hospital in Kenya's Nairobi, his party says.

Tanzanian opposition legislator Tundu Lissu is recovering in a Kenyan hospital after being wounded in a gun attack at his residence in Tanzania's administrative capital, Dodoma, according to his party.

Abdallah Safari, the vice president of main opposition party CHADEMA, said at a news conference on Friday that Lissu was taken to the Aga Khan hospital in neighbouring Kenya's capital, Nairobi, "after a decision by his family and his party".

"His health is improving," he said.

Vincent Mashinji, CHADEMA secretary-general, said: "Those who wanted to kill him have failed."

The motive for the shooting by unknown gunmen was unclear.

Lissu, 49, was attacked at his home in Dodoma on Thursday, after returning from a parliamentary session.

He was shot in the stomach and leg, according to local media reports, with party spokesman Tumaini Makene describing his condition as "critical".

According to party leaders, Lissu had previously complained to being "tailed" by a car and repeatedly said he feared assassination.

"Party members are afraid," Safari said.

Police said on Thursday they had opened an investigation.

Rights groups, Tanzania's government and others have condemned the shooting.

In a statement, President John Magufuli's ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party also condemned "this cruel and inhuman act".

Magufuli tweeted that he was "shocked to hear the news of the attack on Tundu Lissu and I pray to God almighty that he will soon recover".

Government critic
Lissu has had a series of run-ins with Magufuli's government, and has been arrested at least six times this year, accused of insulting the president and disturbing public order, among other charges.

He serves as chief whip for the parliamentary opposition and is president of Tanzania's bar association, the Tanganyika Law Society, as well as being CHADEMA's attorney general.

His most recent arrest was in August, after revealing that a plane bought for the national carrier had been impounded in Canada over unpaid government debts.

Get well soon learned brother.

Kumbe Tanzania wako violent vile? An oasis of peace , political tranquility and national cohesion is a shattered myth.

Huyu jamaa anapitia magumu, mara anapimwa mkojo, mara anakamatwa kamatwa, mara anapigwa marisasi... Dah inabidi uwe na moyo wa simba ili maisha ya huyu, maana mimi hata kwa mabilioni siwezi, haya mambo ya kupambana yana wenyewe.
Nilipambana enzi za rais Moi, lakini mabomu ya machozi yalinitosha, huyu bwana Lissu haachi hata akilimwa vipi.

Hongera sana Lissu, ushujaa wako utaandikwa kwenye vitabu vya historia za Afrika. Watu wa kihivi ni wachache na huja na kutuaga duniani, lakini michango yao inabaki ikisomwa na vizazi baada ya vizazi.

Lakini kwani hii Agha Khan inalipisha pesa ngapi hadi hivi michango kufanywa huko Tanzania kwa matibabu yake? Ama ni CHADEMA hawana pesa kabisa??? Lakuhuzunisha hili!

Hili pepo la kujali makaratasi kuliko uhai wa binadamu ndilo linaloiangamiza dunia.

Vitabu vya dini vilituonya kuwa makini mana siku za mwisho watu watakua wenye kupenda sana fedha. Kumbuka kuwa Binadamu ameumbwa na Mungu lakini fedha ni makaratasi yaliyochorwa na binadamu. Fedha ni kazi ya wanadamu lakini mwanadamu ni kazi ya Mungu. Usipoheshimu uhai wa wanadamu wenzako iko siku Mungu atakuonyesha kuwa maisha haya ya mwili ulioumbwa kwa udongo hayarudi mara mbili.Iko siku na itakufikia utakapouza mali zako zote na fedha zote utazipeleka kwenye matibabu.


Unafikiri ni matibabu tu bila kujua kuwa kuna watu ambao wanamwangalia mgonjwa wanatakiwa kula na kuishi maisha ya ugenini na Pesa za kuangalia familia zao. Kumsafirisha mkewe mara kwa mara kwenda kumtizama mumewe.

Kama hujaguswa kuchangia kaa kimya.
Unajua gharama zilizotumika kuwatibu wale wanafunzi wa st. Lucy nje ya nchi ? Unafikiri gharama za matibabu ni jambo rahisi?
Au unajua kuwa atatoka lini hospitali. Je, akikaa miezi kadhaa familia yake itakua na uwezo wa kulipia hizo gharama?
Au unafiliri Lisu ameenda Nairobi kufanya check up ?


Au mmezoea kuchangia tu misiba na majanga halafu mnakimbia na fuko la fedha kwa tamaa ya kupenda fedha. Shame on you !!

Nchi inaangamia kwa sababu waliotegemewa kuwa watahubiri amani na kuwaleta watu pamoja ndio wanaotawanya watu na kuhubiri chuki.
Madaraka yamewalevya CCM ni vyema wakapumzika siku moja wajifunze uchungu wa kuwa nje ya madaraka. Labda watajua kuwa yupo Mungu Mtawala wa wote asiye na chama.

Astaghfirullah.

Muqtasari wote huu wa nini!!!? Mimi nimeuliza tu!! Huenda gharama pale Agha Khan ipo juu?? Sijaona hata siku moja, hata MCA Kenya akaomba msaada waaina hiyo hata kama anaenda matibabu India au USA au UK.

Mfano Anyang Nyongo, Alienda London matibabu akalazwa miezi sikusikia mchango.
Governor wa Bomet Isaac Rutto alienda Matibabu Africa Kusini, sikuona mchango. Na wengi wengine.

Kuuliza maana hapo Agha Khan, sidhani kama atatumia milioni zaidi ya tatu pesa za Kenya, ongeza milioni mbili za usafari na matumizi. Yaani kama imezidi sana, milioni sita pesa za kenya (milioni mia moja pesa za Tanzania) Hivi hawezi hizo yeye kama mbunge tena rais wa chama cha wanasheria kule Tanzani?

Wabunge Bongo hulipwa hela ngapi kwa mwezi?

Kwani unadhani alienda kwa miguu huko Nairobi toka Dodoma? Walikodi private jet na kuna mipango ya kumsafirisha overseas for further check ups.

Kingine ni namna ya kupeleka political statement kwa watawala wa CCM baada ya Bunge kukataa kumpeleka India on his critical condition na kulazimisha Muhimbili ambapo usalama wake ungewekwa rehani . Ikumbukwe wananchi wameomba kuchangia wenyewe.

Indeed it seems tranquility and peaceful national cohesion is eroding! as we have never seen anything of this nature since independence in 1961 apart from few skirmishes due to cattle theft and recent opposition political indiscriminating arrests by the law enforcers ordered and directed by Regional and District Commissioners which is utterly nonsense and absurd! But under the leadership of God fearing President Dr John Magufuli that country will allow freedom of political activities just like Kenya- people very much admire President Uhuru Kenyatta on this issue!

I think the money is meant for treatment and security purposes since its now crystal clear that TL the great,is an important and most wanted person in Tanzania.

duh kumbe ni huyu Lissu ndiye alitoa habari za kushikwa kwa ndege ya Tanzania kule Canada? sasa walimkamata kwa sababu ya hiyo? lol! is their any freedom of speech in TZ? hapa kenya hata unaweza ukasema rais ni muuaji na hata utaje jina la mtu mmoja aliyeuawa na rais ila hakuna atakaye jishugulisha nawe...
for example this guy Boniface accused the deputy presidnt of murder and said that he also wants to kill him but he has never been arrested even once...infact, he even ran for MP but lost to Jaguar...
Boniface Mwangi: "William Ruto wants me dead like he killed Jacob Juma" Mwangi claims

Do it over here my friend...utakavyoona balaa lake utapigwa na huko lock up au jail utapata kisago heavy.

Mkuu ninyi mna uhuru wa kuongea sana, nilishangaa majuzi kusikia watu wakimshutumu Uhuru waziwazi kwa magazeti na redio kwa kitendo cha kuwatolea majaji lugha mbaya.
Tz ya sasa huwezi, malaika haguswi hata kama akikosea.
