Hussein Machozi Asimulia Alivyofumaniwa na Mke wa Mtu na Kisha Kupewa Kichapo Nchini Kenya

Msanii Hussein Machozi ambaye sasa amerudi nchini kutoka nchini Italia amefunguka na kusimulia kisa chake cha kufumaniwa alivyokuwa Kenya na kusema kuwa kama asingekimbia huenda mambo yangekuwa mabaya kwake.

Hussein Machozi amesema hayo kwenye kipindi cha Planet bongo ya East Africa Radio na kudai kuwa yeye alikwenda Kenya kikazi na mtu ambaye alikuwa anawasiliana naye alikuwa ni binti aliyeandaa show yake Kenya, hivyo alipofika alimpokea Airport na kwenda naye hotel.

"Kwa hiyo tulipofika hotel tulikuwa tunapanga mipango ya hapa na pale, kumbe yule binti ana mshikaji wake ambaye ana wivu sana na yeye, hivyo yule jamaa alikuja na magari kama mawili yakiwa na mabaunsa kibao.

"Wakatuzunguka pale na kuanza kunipiga vibao ila nashukuru Mungu kuna baunsa mmoja pale pale alinishtua na kuniambia nikimbie, hivyo niliruka ukuta wa hotel na kukimbia. 

"Kwa hiyo wale wahudumu pale ndiyo walianza kusambaza habari kuwa nimefumaniwa ila nisingekimbia huenda ingekuwa mbaya kwangu" alisisitiza Hussein Machozi 

Mbali na hilo Hussein Machozi anasema alimua kwenda nchini Italia baada ya kuona muziki unampa mawazo hivyo Mungu akamfungulia mlango  mwingine na kuamua kusepa huko, ambako anadai anasoma na kufanya shughuli zingine zinazomuingizia kipato.

Sakata la Makonda kuivamia Clouds laibuliwa upya

SAKATA la Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Dar es Salaam kuvamia kituo cha televisheni cha Clouds liliibuliwa upya na wadau wa habari jana baada ya kulilaani.

Wadau hao wa habari walilaani tukio hilo jana ikiwa ni siku maalum ya Uhuru wa Habari iadhimishwayo Mei 3 kila mwaka.

Akizungumza kama mgeni rasmi katika siku hiyo jijini, Mbunge wa viti maalum wa Chama Cha Wananchi (CUF), mkoa wa Dar es Salaam, Salma Mwasa alisema si jambo jema viongozi wa umma kuonekana wanakuwa mstari wa mbele kuminya uhuru wa habari.

Alisema kitendo alichokifanya mkuu huyo wa mkoa wa Dar es Salaam ni cha kulaaniwa na kitaendelea kulaaniwa na kila mpenda amani na mpenda ustawi wa vyombo vya habari, na anayetambua umuhimu wake katika nchi.

“Viongozi wa umma na watunga sera, wanapaswa kuwa mstari wa mbele katika kulinda vyombo hivi vya habari na kuhakikisha vinafanya kazi yao kwa uhuru," alisema Mwasa.

"(Viongozi wa umma) wanapogeuka na kuonyesha wa kwanza kuviminya (vyombo vya habari) inaonyesha sifa mbaya na hawapeleki ujumbe mzuri kwa hawa wengine wanaowategemea, wanaowasikiliza na kuwaamini.

“Kiukweli kile kitendo kinatakiwa kulaaniwa na kitaendelea kulaaniwa, kwa sababu pasipo kufanya hivi, vitendo hivi vinaweza kuendelea kufanyika na huko tunakoenda hali ya uhuru wa vyombo hivyo inaweza ukawa mgumu zaidi.”

Tukio hilo la staili ya utekaji wa vituo vya habari wakati wa mapinduzi ya kijeshi, lilifanywa na mkuu huyo Machi 17 saa 5 usiku.

Mkuu huyo alionekana katika video zilizosambaa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii akiwa na askari wasielekea kuwa polisi, waliokuwa na bunduki.

Kwa mujibu wa taarifa ya kamati ya waziri iliyochunguza sakata hilo, mkuu huyo alivamia kituo hicho usiku huku vipindi vikiwa vinaendelea na kwamba aliwatisha na kuwalazimisha watangazaji wa kipindi cha Shilawadu kuonyesha taarifa yake.

Taarifa hiyo ya upande mmoja, ilikuwa ikimtuhumu Askofu wa Kanisa la Ufufuo na Uzima, Josephat Gwajima kuwa amezaa na muumini wake.

Gwajima ambaye alikanusha vikali madai hayo kanisani kwake, alianzisha tuhuma za mkuu huyo kutumia cheti feki kujiunga na elimu ya juu na kwamba jina lake halisi ni Daud Bashite.

Mwasa alisema hali ya uhuru wa vyombo vya habari nchini inazidi kuwa mbaya kadri siku zinavyosonga na kwamba licha ya changamoto wanazokutana nazo, waandishi wa habari hawapaswi kukata tamaa.

“Tumeshuhudia baadhi ya waandishi wanapigwa na wengine hata kujeruhiwa wanapokuwa wanafanya kazi zao," alisema Mwasa. "Nataka kuwaomba wasikate tamaa."

"Watanzania wanawategemea, wakumbuke kuwa hakuna ukombozi bila mateso, tunajua wako katika wakati mgumu lakini tunaomba hali hiyo isiwakatishe tamaa.”

Alisema wao kama wawakilishi wa wananchi, wataendelea kupambana kuhakikisha uhuru huo unalindwa hata ikiwezekana kujenga hoja bungeni ili Sheria ya Vyombo vya Habari iliyopitishwa hivi karibuni irudishwe bungeni ili baadhi ya vipengele ambavyo vilionekana kuwa vina mtego kwa waandishi hao, virekebishwe.

Kwa upande wake Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Chama cha Waandishi wa Habari za Siasa (Taporea), George Maziku alisema ripoti ya hali ya uhuru wa waandishi wa habari iliyotolewa na Shirika la Waandishi wa Habari Wasio na Mipaka inaonyesha kuwa katika miaka 10 iliyopita zaidi ya waandishi 800 kutoka mataifa mbalimbali duniani wameuawa wakiwa wanatekeleza majukumu yao.

Akizungumzia Sakata la Mkuu wa mkoa wa Dar es Salaam kuvamia kituo cha televisheni, alisema ni jambo la kusikitisha kuona mpaka sasa hakuna hatua yoyote ambayo mkuu huyo amechukuliwa.

Majina wenye vyeti feki kutoka leo Jumatano

WAKATI watumishi wa umma 9,932 wakiwa wamebainika kuwa na vyeti feki mpaka sasa, idadi hiyo inatarajiwa kuongezeka Jumatano ijayo, siku ambayo Ofisi ya Rais, Menejimenti ya Utumishi itatangaza majina zaidi.

Ijumaa iliyopita, serikali ilitangaza kukamilika kwa zoezi la uhakiki wa vyeti vya kuhitimu kidato cha nne, sita na ualimu kwa watumishi wa Sekretarieti za Mikoa, Tawala za Mikoa, Wakala wa Serikali, Taasisi za umma na Ofisi ya Rais, Menejimenti ya Utumishi wa umma.

Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari jana, Katibu Mkuu, Ofisi ya Rais, Menejimenti ya Utumishi wa Umma, Dk. Laurean Ndumbaro, alisema uhakiki wa vyeti unaendelea kwa watumishi wa wizara zilizosalia na taasisi mbalimbali.

Alisema uhakiki huo wa awamu ya pili na ambao utafuatiwa na awamu ya tatu, unatarajiwa kukamilika Jumatano.

Alisema baada ya matokeo ya uhakiki huo kuwekwa hadharani, uamuzi wa serikali utatolewa.

“Maamuzi ya watumishi 9,932 waliobainika kuwa na vyeti vya kugushi ilikuwa ni kuondolewa kwenye orodha ya malipo ya mishahara mara moja, na waendelee kuondolewa ili mwisho wa mwezi Mei wasipate mishahara yao,” alisema Dk. Ndumbaro.

Alisema watumishi hao wanaachishwa kazi kulingana na taratibu, sheria na kanuni za utumishi wa umma.

Ndumbaro alisema watumishi 1,538 wenye vyeti vyenye utata vinavyotumiwa na watumishi wawili, watatu au zaidi wanatakiwa kuhakiki umiliki wa vyeti vyao Baraza la Mitihani (Necta) kabla ya Mei 15.

Aidha alisema wakati watumishi hao wakiendelea kuhakiki vyeti vyao, mishahara yao itasimamishwa hadi zoezi litakapokamilika na kwa atakayethibitika ni mmiliki halali wa cheti atapewa mshahara wake.

Aidha, Dk. Ndumbaro alisema watumishi 11,596 ambao waliwasilisha vyeti pungufu pamoja na wale ambao hawajawasilisha vyeti vyao kabisa wanatakiwa kufanya hivyo kabla ya Mei 15 pia kwa ajili ya uhakiki na ambaye hatawasilisha hatua za kinidhamu zitachukuliwa.

VYETI HALALI

Katibu Mkuu huyo alisema mara baada ya taarifa ya Ijumaa kutolewa mbele ya Rais John Magufuli hapa Dodoma, walijitokeza watumishi wakieleza kuwa wanavyo vyeti au walivyo navyo ni halali.

“Watumishi wanaodai kuwa na vyeti halali wanaruhusiwa kukata rufani kwa utaratibu," alisema.

"Waandike barua kwa Katibu Mkuu Utumishi kukata rufani hiyo; barua ambayo inapitia kwa waajiri wao wakieleza uthibitisho wao wa umiliki wa vyeti ambavyo ni halali.

“Pamoja na kuandika rufani hizo, waajiri wao watatakiwa kuwasilisha vyeti au nakala ya vyeti vya kidato cha nne na sita Necta kwa njia ya mtandao ili uhakiki uende haraka.”

Aliwataka waajiri watakapopata nakala ya vyeti ambavyo wanadai ni halali watume nakala laini (scan) kwa barua pepe ya Necta ambayo ni esnecta@necta.go.tz au pshea@necta.go.tz ili viweze kuhakikiwa upya na pia nakala hiyo itumwe kwa Katibu Mkuu Utumishi kwa barua pepe ya ps@utumishi.go.tz na inatakiwa kukamilika kabla ya Mei 15 pia.

Alisema malalamiko mawili yalikuwa yamepokelewa mpaka jana kutoka kwa watumishi waliodai kuwa na vyeti halali.

“Hawa waliwasilisha vyeti au nakala ya vyeti kwa waajiri wao tofauti na vile wanavyoviwasilisha," alisema. "Sasa na hawa ni wale watumishi ambao walibadili alama za ufaulu kwenye cheti yaani mtu alipata daraja la nne lakini amebadilisha na kutumia cha daraja la tatu.”

Alifafanua katika kundi hilo, cheti ni hicho hicho chenye jina na namba hiyo hiyo lakini siku zote mtumishi alikuwa akitumia cheti chenye ufaulu wa daraja la tatu lakini alichowasilisha kina daraja la nne na ambacho ndiyo halali.

“Kwa hiyo wakifika Necta wakiangalia cheti cha daraja la nne ni sahihi lakini siku zote alikuwa hatumii, alikuwa anatumia cha kugushi chenye daraja la tatu na ndio kilimuwezesha akasome hiyo taaluma," alisema.

"Bado watumishi wa namna hii vyeti vyao ni feki.”

Alisema wale wenye vyeti halali wakate rufani na hakuna mtumishi ambaye ana cheti halali ataondolewa.

“Wale wenye vyeti halali ikithibitika watarudishwa kwenye utumishi wa umma, wasio na vyeti halali wataondolewa.”
