Mlevi apanga kukutana na Mkuu Kiquette

Juzi mlevi alipata hard time, baada ya walevi wenzake kumzodoa kuwa yeye ni kibaraka. Unajua ilikuwaje?
Tukiwa tunapata whisky vodka na Devil Ale 666 na `mipombe mingine’ ya bei mbaya na majina magumu magumu wanywayo wenye nazo. Nasi zilikuwa zimetutembelea na kupata `zali la mentali’.
Basi ulifumka mjadala wa uadilifu. Kuna mlevi mmoja aliniudhi nusu nijinyotoe roho. Nilikuwa nikimsifia Rais Black Obamiza kwa uadilifu wake bila kujua kuwa kumbe naye si muadilifu.
Mlevi yule si alinitolea `kavu kavu’ kuwa Obamiza angekuwa muadilifu, asingefungua mradi wa kijambazi wa Richmonduli wa Ubungo.
Kuanzia hapa `machale’ yalinicheza nikaacha mchezo wa kuwasifia wakuu. Baada ya kumalizana na Obamiza, si jamaa akamgeukia mkuu wetu mpendwa kipenzi na chaguo la Mungu na kipenzi cha watu Jake Kiquette!
Ulidhani nitasema Kiquette. Umenoa! Jamaa alihoji eti ni kwanini `amekula jiwe’ kuhusiana na kutaja mali zake `nkewe’ na vitegemezi vyake, wanaosemekana kuwa mabilionea wa kutupwa.
Ajabu his bloody spin doctors are giving everything he does a positive spin! Go figure guys. We know how wicked and dirty you always are. Samahani ‘mizuka ya kikameruni’ imepanda hadi nikasahau kuwa humu si mwake. Nisameheni wajameni.
Dai hili liliniumiza, nikawaahidi walevi kuwa nitafanya kila liwezekanalo nikutane na mkuu kumuomba awafunge wanaomtaka ataje mali zake, ili walevi waache kumdhalilisha kwa kusema eti hana uadilifu.
Niliposema nitakwenda kukutana na mkuu, jamaa walinizomea wakisema eti nakwenda kukutana naye kisanii. Niliwajibu kosa ni nini kama atakutana na msanii sawa, na anavyokutana na wasanii wenzake?
Nilishasema kuwa si vizuri kwa mkuu kutaja mali zake maana wezi wanaweza kumvamia na kumuibia.
Pia nina mpango wa kumshauri Mkuu awapandishe washikaji wajanja hasa walioghushi shahada zao kwa vile waliokoa muda ambao wangepoteza madarasani na kuchelewa kuula na kuchuma.
Mawaziri wanaopaswa kupandishwa vyeo na kuruhusiwa wafundishe mbinu zao kupata shahada bila kupoteza muda kwenye vyuo vikuu. Hawa ni Makorongo Muhanga, Marry Nyagu, Bill Lukuwi, Emanweri Nchimbizi na balozi Deodoruz Kamla.
Pia nitamuomba mkuu awapandishe vyeo washikaji zake wanaoonewa wivu kwa kufanikisha masuala mbali mbali kama vile Juma4 Kawa-dog, aliyefanikisha na kuboresha elimu kwa kuwapa ushindi wale waliokuwa wametangazwa kuwa wameshindwa kwenye mtihani wa kidato cha nne.
Kawa-dog ni wa kupigiwa mfano hasa kwa kuwa na roho ngumu. Huwa nikikumbuka alivyokataa kujiuzulu pale alipofanikisha elimu, natamani nimpe `kanywaji’.
Mwingine ni Anne Tiba- Ijukayo ambaye `aliwapiga mkwara’ wenye mjengo dada wa ulioua, lakini baadaye akachomoa baada ya kugundua kuwa kama `mghorofa’ ule ungebomolewa, ungeliingizia taifa hasara kubwa kiuchumi.
Pia mawaziri kama Dk Mgimua, wanapaswa kupewa nishani ya ubunifu kama vile kubuni kuwakamua watumiaji wachovu wa simu `madafu elfu’ kwa mwezi. Lazima atunishe mfuko wa taifa na kutoa misamaha ya kodi kwa wawekezaji ili kuwavutie wazidi kuwekeza na kuchukua.
Kwanza, simu nyingi zinatumika kufanya `misheni’ ya kuiibia kaya, ukiachia mbali kwenye mambo ya uroda na upuuzi mwingine kama huo. Siku nyingine nitashauri Dk Mgimua awatoze watu kodi ya kupiga kelele zitokanazo na matumizi ya simu.
Hakuna sehemu ambapo Mgimua `alinikuna’ kama kuyaacha makampuni ya simu yawasulubu wachovu kama hayana akili nzuri. Nimefurahi kuona yanavyowapa huduma mbovu, sorry, bora ambazo zinawafanya wapate taabu ya kupiga kelele mara kwa mara, kutokana na kuambiwa kwa kubana pua “samahani namba unayopiga ni ya bosi.”
Mingine ikisema, “samahani utumie dola si madafu tumeyachoka,” na upuuzi mwingine.
Pia, nitamshauri mkuu ahakikishe anaendelea kuwakamata `mateja’ na kuacha wanaoingiza bwibwi kayani kwa vile wanasaidia kutengeneza mabilionea ambao huliletea sifa taifa, kama ilivyotokea hivi karibuni ambapo bilionea wa Kagodam alitajwa kuwa alikuwa miongoni mwa waliokutana na Rais Obamiza.
Hawa ni watu muhimu kwa uchumi wa kaya ilmradi wasikamatwe kama ilvyotokea walipopitisha bwibwi kwa kumalizana na wakaguzi wa uwanja wa ndege wakanaswa Sauzi.
Hii ilinikumbusha vita ya bangi almaarufu Opium war kati ya Uchina na Uingereza 1839-1842 na 1856-1860. Hii kaya ya wajanja bwana. Hamkusikia jinsi jamaa wa zimamoto wanavyotumia `michuma’ yao kusafirisha kago inayoibiwa toka kwenye mizigo ya abiria pale uwanjani?
Nani amekamatwa? Akamatwe wa nini wakati anakuza uchumi wa kaya? Akamatwe wa nini wakati anawapa burdani vijana wasio na ajira? Akamatiwe nini iwapo waathirika si vitegemezi vya wakubwa?
Akamatwe kwanini iwapo anaweza kutoa michango katika chaguzi mbali mbali kwa kufadhili vyama tena vyenye nguvu? Akamatwe nani wakati ujanja ni kupata na mtaji wa matajiri ni mamlaka yao?
Watu wanataka kumpotosha mkuu eti akamate wauza unga, majambazi hata mafisadi wakati ahadi zake wakati wa uchaguzi ilikuwa ni maisha bora kwa wote.
Hawa wanaomtaka mkuu awakamate hao hapo juu hawaoni walivyo na maisha bora, tena wote wakitanua na `migari’ ya bei mbaya na kuishi kwenye mahekalu?
Waziri mwingine ninatakayependekeza apandishwe cheo ni Adamu Milima ya Kigoma.
Hiyo ni kutokana na ushupavu wake wa kutembea na `mibunduki’ hadi wezi wakamuogopa. Unakumbuka sekeseke kule hotelini Moro? Huyu jamaa alipaswa afanye kazi FBI siyo jimboni.
Pia nitakapokutana na mkuu nitamuomba awape nishani watendaji waliofanya kazi iliyotukuka. Hawa si wengine, bali waziri mkubwa Mzee Pinder ambaye alinikuna alipowaambia `ndata’ watukunyuge hadi tutie adabu.
Na kweli baada ya amri ya Mzee Pinder, nasikia `ndata’ weshanyonga mchovu. Pia PIG Saydu Mhwema lazima apewa nishani kwa kusimamia `ndata’ hasa wanapotembeza kichapo na hata kunyotoa kama walivyofanya huko Nyonyolo ambapo Daud Mwangosi.
Alimwangosiwa na aliyeongoza umwangosi huu bwana Kamu- Handa, alipandishwa cheo. Huyu anapaswa kupewa nishani kwa kuleta amani na utulivu kiasi cha kumfanya mkuu atulie bila kuwa na haja ya kupoteza muda kufukuza watu wala kutoa maelezo kwa wachovu.
Mwisho kabisa, nitamshauri Mkuu ampe nishani bi mkubwa Salmae kwa kuendesha NGO yake vizuri, kiasi cha kupewa nishani huko majuu.
Amefanikisha kuonyesha kuwa lazima Lady Numbero Uno awe mjasiriamali anayejua kuzichanga na kutengeza `fweza’. Unadhani ukishaondoka maulajini utapata wapi mtaji wa kuanzishia biashara?
Hamjamuona Anna Tamaa Makapu anavyotesa baada ya kuzichanga kupitia NGO yake ya Fursa kwa Wote Walaji? Lazima Lady Numbero Uno awe mjasiriamali.
Je umeipata ya bwimbwi kuuteka uwanja wa ndege wa Kimataifa wa Mwalimu?
Nani anajali iwapo wananufaika na jinai hii? Napanga kuanzisha Madudu Prize ambayo watapewa wafanya madudu. So jiandaeni na kukaa mkao wa kula.
Nitaiongelea wiki ijayo.

Je Mwakyembe anaweza kuwataja wauza unga?

Japo ni jambo jema kuwapa moyo wenzetu wenye uthubutu kama uthubutu wenyewe una ithibati, kitendo cha waziri wa Uchukuzi Dk. Harrison Mwakyembe kusema atawataja vigogo wa mihadarati ni changamoto kubwa.Je Mwakyembe atatimiza ahadi yake au kupiga siasa tu ili kujipatia ujiko?
Kwa wanaokumbuka jinsi Mwakyembe alivyomaliza kashfa ya Richmond kwa kusema kuwa kuna mambo waliyaficha kwa sababu wajuazo, wana shaka kama atawaja waunza unga vigogo. Sitashangaa kumsikia akiwataja vijidagaa huku akiwagwaya mapapa. Sitashangaa kutokana na kutoaminika kwa wanasiasa wetu wasanii. Mwakyembe kwa kitendo cha kuwaficha wakubwa wa Richmond ambao ni zaidi ya Lowassa na akapewa zawadi au tuseme kulipwa fadhila, si mtu wa kuaminika tena. Je Mwakyembe aligundua makosa yake na anataka kuyafuta? Je ataendelea na sanaa kama kawaida yao? Je anafanya hivi ili  apewe cheo kingine ambacho hapa ni kugombea urais kupitia CCM? Je amejituma au ametumwa na bosi wake? Kwanini Mwakyembe aibuke baada ya bosi wake, Jakaya Kikwete kukutana na mateja ikulu? Je hatua ya Mwakyembe kuwataja waliomshinda Kikwete ni kupingana au kuna jambo? Je amejiandaa kuyaepa yaliyompata Prof. George Saitoti kule Kenya alipopania kuweka wazi majina ya vigogo wa mihadarati? Je asipowataja vigogo wenyewe tufanye nini? Maswali ni mengi kuliko majibu.

Rwanda can still talk to FDLR and move forward

Franz Fanon in the Wretched of the Earth said, “The last battle of the colonized against the colonizer will often be the fight for the colonized against each other.”

Rwanda’s unrepentant refusal to talk with the DRC based, Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (FDLR) rebels, eat many heads up in the region. Of late, the world evidenced the tug of war between Rwanda and Tanzania after President Jakaya Kikwete proposed round-table talks. Again, despite all misunderstandings, we need to face it that the conflict in the Great Lakes needs to be dealt with. For better or for worse, nothing human is forever. For how long will we live under fear and conflicts?

Currently, the US is in dialogue with the Talibans in Afghanistan. Israel and Palestine have recently resumed peace talks. This means that any conflict, be it protracted or otherwise, can be resolved. Reconciliation is the only way forward wherever there is conflict. Rwanda as well as DRC needs to move forward given that FDLR rebels will never live in DRC forever.

I understand how Kigali feels, especially when it remembers the magnitude of the sin that FDLR committed during the 1994 genocide that wiped out about one million Rwandans, Tutsi and moderate Hutus. I know how traumatizing it is to revisit such history. Importantly though, reconciliation is inevitable shall the region aspire to have peace and prosperity. Africa’s still dependent on its former masters and other rich and developed countries. How come now that such dependent continent is embarking on creating more conflict than reducing them? Again, history is always written by survivors. Methinks Rwanda should search its soul to see to it that the conflict is solved so that life can go on and write a new history of reconciliation.

Rwanda won’t be the first country to embark on reconciliation. Blacks in South Africa suffered more than any country under the Apartheid regime. Nelson Mandela who spearheaded fight against Apartheid was jailed for long. Again, after realizing that conflict can be used constructively to avoid more destruction, Mandela was the first person to forgive Apartheid regime after understanding the way it felt about what it committed. Through talking to each other, both parts in South Africa were able to read each other’s way of looking at things. In the end, South Africa made a precedent to which almost every peace lover refers to. African sage has it that, those who fight are the ones that cooperate. No way can human beings live without differences, conflicts and all sorts of things as far as misunderstandings are concerned. On this ground, it makes sense to call upon Rwanda and FDLR rebels to talk peace, instead of harbouring hatred and vengeance. Such stance won’t solve any problem. Instead, it’ll double if not triple them.

It defies logic, for example, to presume all Hutus as genociders. How if at all those born during or after genocide did not partake in this megalomania? Hutus who did not partake in the crime feel betrayed and victimized. Those judged wholesomely feel that they’ve the duty to cleanse their names. Those born in DRC, just like those who took over after Genocide, who were born in Uganda, think that they’d go back home. This is where it boils down to scheming to deal with current Rwandan regime either peacefully or violently. This is not the situation a country is supposed to live in. Why don’t we want to learn the menacing danger refugees in Uganda caused to Rwanda? Suppose DRC stabilizes and supports FDLR to take on their home government as Uganda did? This means that another calamity is in the making. This is why it becomes inevitable for two sides to talk and reconcile. How if at all, genocide was the work of a select few in power by then? Rwandans need peace. And peace will come from reconciliation.

I know verily that Kigali would like to respect the dead. Again, as Gerard Prunier put it in his book, The Rwanda Crisis; History of Genocide, “Respect of the dead does not preclude the efforts to understand why they died.” Such take helps us to seek truth and peace in order to avoid repeating the same in the name of preserving and honouring the dead.

Prunier goes on saying that Hutus and Tutsi were not created as cats and dogs. Allowing the conflict to shrive amidst Rwandans is but faulting God’s goodwill of endowing us with higher and bigger brains that make us humans and not animals. Sometimes, due to ignorance, fear and confusion, man can commit sacrilegious things that even an animal can’t commit. Again, once this happens, sane minds must intervene. This is why the international community formed Arusha-based ICTR. This aimed at punishing the guilty and redressing the offended. Now, if ICTR and Gacaca did punish the guilty, why then presume all Hutus as killers?

After all, genocide can be said to be the product of European eugenics, especially John Speke by proxy, that created Hutus and Tutsi for their reasons of exploiting them. It is absurd and indifference to keep on, for example, calling the 1994 genocide, genocide against Tutsi. So too, it’ll be nonsensical to keep on alleging that all Hutus committed genocide. To do away from this danger, Rwanda must willingly talk to rebels instead of feeling that the international community is forcing it to talk. The upshot is those situated out of the conflict, see it better than those involved in it.

Inaleta picha gani rais anapokutana na mateja huku akiwalinda wauza unga?

Rais Kikwete akiwa na mateja wastaafu ikulu hivi karibuni pamoja na Pili Misana na  Zakaria Hans Pope mfadhili wa kituo hicho.

Mwaka 2006 rais Jakaya Kikwete bila kulazimishwa na mtu yeyote alisema kuwa ana orodha ya wauza madawa ya kulevya nchini. Sasa ni miaka saba imepita tangu atwambie ana orodha hiyo. Wengi tunajiuliza ni kwanini imechukua muda mrefu hivyo kuwashughulikia wauza unga kama kweli ana nia au anangoja awashughulikie baada ya kustaafu? Ajabu juzi Kikwete alipodhalilishwa na Rwanda alikuwa mwepesi kuwatimua wanyarwanda waliokuwa wameishi Tanzania kwa zaidi ya miongo minne. Je Kikwete ana namna anavyonufaika na mihadarati kiasi cha siku hizi kuanza kujionyesha kama mtu anayewajali vijana kwa kukutana na mateja au kumsaidia teja Ray C. Je Kikwete anatoa picha gani kwa kuwakumbatia wauza unga huku akijifanya kuwapenda na kuwajali mateja? Je ni usanii au unafiki?

Kijiwe chamuunga mkono Mr Six juu ya viti maalumu

INAONEKANA kuna jambo limetokea. Maana Mgosi Machungi anavyoingia kijiweni kwa furaha si bure. Isitoshe tangu siku hizi zimtembelee, haachi kununua gazeti lau akifika nyumbani bi mkubwa ampokee bwana mkubwa aliyetoka kwenye misheni bab kubwa. Anyway, hayo ndiyo maisha ya Bongo ambayo wengi ni misheni tauni. Mbwa Mwitu hangoji. Anamvamia Mgosi akisema; “Mgosi kunani leo mbona umechangamka utadhani umeshinda bahati nasibu?” Mgosi anajibu: “Mgosi hata huamkui! Hiyo bahati nasibu tishinde sisi? Huwa sishiiki wizi wa matamasha na mashindano ya umaskini kama yanavyoendeshwa na baadhi ya makampuni ya telephone yanayowaibia wachovu kila siku na kuwaletea kiini macho cha jishindie mifedha.” Mbwa Mwitu anazidi kujifanya mtabiri: “Au ni kwa vile mwezi mtukufu umepita na sasa unaweza kujichana ulabu na makandokando yake?” Mgosi anachukia na kusema; “We kafii mkubwa. Kumbe ulikuwa umefunga Amadhani tu. Wakati Mgosi na Mbwa Mwitu wakiendelea kuchambuana anaingia Msomi Mkatatamaa. Leo inaonekana ni fasheni ya kununua magazeti. Maana naye analo. Anatuamkua na kumwaga stori. Anaanza: “Wazee mmeona mzee mwenzetu wa viwango alivyofufuka na kuja na hoja za maana kwa kaya?” Anafunua gazeti na kuonyesha habari inayomkariri mzee Sam Six akisema kuwa ubunge wa msukule ni mzigo kwa kaya. Hivyo, katiba mpya ihakikishe inaupiga stop. Kabla hata ya kuendelea Mgosi anakwanyua mic: “Mgosi umenikuna kwei kwei.” Mzee Maneno anachomekea: “Amekukuna wapi na vipi?” Mgosi hamkawizi: “Mzee Maneno tiheshimiane. Tatizo la nyinyi ni kufikii kichinichini. Ndiyo maana wabunge msukule wanaupata ulaji tena wengi kwa kutumia sera za chini chini. Wangekuwa na sera za juu juu tungewaona kwenye kampeni juu juu kwenye majukwaa wakitoana jasho na wenzao hata kama wote hawana maana.” Anajifuta jasho na kuendelea: “Msomi umegusa hapo hapo palipofanya nifuahi hadi nilipoingia watu wakajua nina fuaha leo. Hakuna kitu kilikuwa kinaudhi na kunichefua kama huu ubunge maalumu ambao kimsingi ni mzigo kwa kodi zetu. Hawa huwakilisha matumbo yao na mambo yao ajabu tunawalipa!” Kabla ya kumaliza mzee Mipawa anachomekea: “Beng’we hapa mami Six ametoa bonge la pointi. Namuona kama anafaa kuwa rais japo yuko kwenye chata la hovyo, mizengwe na mafisadi.” Kanji anamkata mzee Mipawa jicho la chuki. Huyu ni mwanakijiwe wetu ambaye alikuwa zake likizo India na Uingereza alikokwenda kutumia baada ya kuchuma huku kwenye shamba la bibi. Anasema: “Veve Pava ovyo sana. Kwanini sema chata ya Six ovyo. Hovyo hovyo mama yako. Veve hapana ona hii amani vatu yote nafaidi au pinzani wewe.” Mzee Mipawa anakuja juu: “Mami usinichefuege nikakufanyiaga kitu mbaya. Hiyo amani waiona wewe unayeweza kuchuma hapa na kwenda kulia kwenu. Huna tofauti na hao waishiwa msukule wanaowakilisha matumbo yao. Nakushauri unyamazage nisije fanyaga kitu mbaya.” Baada ya Kanji kuona Mipawa anakuja juu, anaamua kushusha hasira yake na kumtania: “Veve Sukuma ya vapi isiyopenda tani?” Anasema huku akicheka. Anamwambia muuza kahawa: “Veve uza gahawa. Hebu Tia yeye moja.” Mipawa kuona hivyo anaamka kutaka kumkaribili Kanji. Anasema: “We inaonekana hunijuagi. Kama unadhani mie ni mtu wa kuhongwa kashata na kahawa kama Msukuma yule mjinga Mzee wa Vijenti umenoa. Kawahonge hao vyangudoa wa kisiasa, lakini si mimi Ng’wana Jilala wa Danga Nkulu wa Maduhu wa Ng’wana Kang’wa wa Sheta wa Shikome.” Anasimama ili kumkabili Kanji akisema: “Ngoja nilikong’otege linijuage. Beng’we!” Kuona maji yanaanza kuzidi unga, mimi na msomi tuliamua kuingilia kusuluhisha sintofahamu hii. Msomi alisema: “Nkwingwa huna haja ya kupigana. Aisifiaye mvua jua imemnyea. Kanji hawezi kuona upande wa pili iwapo anakula na vipofu tena vichaa. Nadhani unanielewa. Haya tuyaache. Tujadili hoja ya viti vya uishiwa wa dezo aka msukule. Kanji ni mtu mdogo na saa nyingine maskini kama wewe sema hujui. Si kila Mhindi ni tajiri au fisadi. Lazima tuwe fea kidogo jamani hata kama kuna mambo madogo madogo kama ubaguzi utokanao na ujinga na historia ya kubaguliwa. Enewei, haya tuyaache.” Kanji anaonekana kunywea kama mbwa aliyenyeshewa mvua. Anatabasamu asijue la kusema. Msomi anaamua kuunganishia humo. Anasema: “Kwa mara ya kwanza tangu afanyiwe mizengwe, brother Six ameni-impress sana. Methinks I’ve to meet with him and accord him my appreciations.” Kabla ya kuendelea Mpemba anaingilia kati. “Yakhe huo Ukameruni sasa tuu machi. Yakhe ongea Kiswahili japo nasi tuelewe wallahi.” Msomi anatabasamu na kusema: “Samahani. Huwa nikifurahi au kuchukia Ukameruni huwa unakuja tu. Anyways, kwa ufupi, nilikuwa namuona brother Six kama mchumia tumbo aliyewekewa mizengwe kwenye uspika akaogopa kuhama chama chake cha mizengwe. Kumbe jamaa ameamua kupigana kutokea ndani japo kwa chama chake si salama.” “Naona jamaa ameamua kuwaharibia wenzake wanaotaka kumwekea mzengwe mwingine. Naamini mara hii hatakubali kuendelea kukaa kwenye chama chenye mizengwe. Utaniambia,” anasema Kapende ambaye alikuwa kimya muda wote akisoma habari za misukule. Mzee Kidevu naye anaamua kuvunja ukimya. “Mie simwamini Mbongo. Anaweza kujifanya kusema mambo ya maana ila ukifika wakati wa kufanya kweli ukashangaa ukasikia amenywea kama alivyofanya pale bwana Richmonduli alipoamua kumnyang’anya uspika na kumsimika yule mama. Kama anamaanisha kujitofautisha na mafisadi aamue kujiondoka mara moja vinginevyo ni michosho yao.” “Kwei pesa ya dezo ni ya dezo. Muiona jinsi waishiwa wa msukule wanavyoshindana kufungua foundations za uongo na ukwei. Wana shida gani iwapo pesa yenyewe wanaipata dezo? Utasikia Katheine Foundation mara Njusi Foundation muadi ulaji mtupu. Sasa tutawaona,” anasema Mgosi huku akikwanyua kombe lake na kulibusu. Mbwa Mwitu naye anaamua kutia timu: “Una habari tusiposhupalia viti maalumu kuna siku vitaanzishwa viti maalumu kwa ajili ya wanaume wanaodundwa na wake zao.” Anamalizia akimkazia macho mzee Kidevu ambaye tulizinyaka kuwa bi mkubwa huwa anamtia adabu. Mzee Kidevu anakuja juu: “Mbona wanitolea mimacho?” Kijiwe kikiwa ndiyo kinanoga si likaja shangingi la muishiwa maalumu. Kwa hasira za kuibiwa kodi zetu tulilimwagia kahawa na kutawanyika.

Hii akili au matope na ufujaji wa pesa na kuhatarisha maisha?

Tajiri mmoja wa kichina alikuja na mpya kwa kujenga mlima juu ya villa yake huko Uchina kiasi cha kulazimisha mamlaka za Uchina kumuamuru aondoe balaa lake. Usishangae kusikia matajiri uchwara na wa kutia shaka wa Bongo nao wakiigiza vitu kama hivi. Maana kwa baadhi ya wenzetu kuigiza mambo ya kipuuzi kama kuvaa nusu uchi hawana mfano.

Mtawala gani wa ki-Afrika anaweza kurejea darasani?

Chancellor wa Ujerumani, Angela Merkel ametoa mpya kwa kurejea darasani kufundisha historia ya taifa lake. Wakati wa maadhimisho ya 52 ya kujengwa kwa ukuta wa Berlin ambao kuangushwa kwake kulimaliza vita baridi kati ya kambi za Magharibi na Mashariki, Merkel aliwaacha hoi wajerumani alipoamua kurejea darasani kufundisha historia. Merkel ambaye ana shahada ya uzamivu katika Fizikia aliyeandika karatasi nyingi za kisomi, aliamua kufundisha somo la historia. Je ni viongozi wangapi wa kiswahili wanaweza kurejea darasani kufundisha? Hebu piga picha marais kama Jakaya Kikwete, Jacob Zuma,  Joseph Kabila, Paul Kagame,Yahya Jammeh, Uhuru Kenyatta na  wengine wenye elimu za kuokoteza. Hakika bado Afrika ina ukame wa viongozi!

Angalia watu wenye akili wanavyopambana na janga la moto

Hivi karibuni uwanja wa kimataifa wa Jomo Kenyatta nchini Kenya ulishika moto na kutekea pakubwa. Hata hivyo, kulikuwa na lawama kuhusiana na uchelewaji wa zima moto kufika na kuuzima moto ule. Sambamba na tukio hili, nchini Kanada kwenye jimbo la Newfoundland and Labrador ulitokea moto mdogo ukilinganishwa na wa JKIA. Link hii inaonyesha jinsi moto huu ulivyoshughullikiwa kwa sekunde. Natamani na nchi zetu za kiswahili zingekuwa na uwezo kama huu badala ya kujikita kwenye ufisadi na ujambazi wa mchana.

Are we this balmy really?

Boozers have one major foe soon after swallowing. They face what I’ll call a “what ifs-only ifs-and-should haves” dilemma. “What if I did not drink yesterday?” Only if I did not swallow, I wouldn't have hit my beloved mama Kelele Nyingi. Should I have restrained myself from Kanywaji, I’d have saved the dosh I burned yesterday to end up lording it over my wife, and many sort of things. Likewise, unwise voters face the same dilemma. When they’re entertained with takrima in the form of Kanywaji and Nyama choma, tend to forget that they’re but dancing with the devil as far as their future’s concerned. This is nothing to be keyed up thanks to dancing with snakes in suits or call them bad seeds if you like. Guys, I must say this cold turkey. Nothing’s for free under the Sun. Don’t goof with those hyper spiced lies in the name of promises they feed you. Those nyama choma and kanywaji you swallow has a price tag on them. Those ‘generously’ offering those stuff are not fools or generous as you my goof. Why am I saying all this? Simple, 2015 is not far from to date. I therefore, as a philosopher need to propound something that’ll either save boozers or act as a reminder in the future. You don’t need to be a quantum physicist or Sigmund Freud to know this. We've the power and will to choose and make our destinies shall we will and decide. This is the only wisdom nugget I offer today.

Thus, I’d like, today, to hypothesize that we badly need the sense and science of self-awareness to deal a blow to selfishness, aloofness, gullibility and greed we've always served unconsciously and lopsidedly consciously altogether. My aim’s to replace selfishness with selflessness, lies with Truth, usanii with policy and whatnot.  Seriously, we need to treat ourselves and be treated like, to loan from Carl Rogers, fully-functioning persons with decency and sense of ourselves and others instead of being taken for a ride by quacks and con men and con women. Do we need to be lobotomized or cingulotomized to realize this really? Thanks to my literature class many years ago on self-awareness and personality, I’m able to argue comfortably that what we think to be normal and right are otherwise not.

It’s difficult to tease apart what people want and what they don’t want from us even though we know what they want and what they don’t want from us.

Our ‘beloved’ rulers are hemmed amidst bodyguard for the fear of us. Isn't this narcissism or the obsession love of oneself? Yet they shamelessly tell us they love us! Alas! Is this love really or levo love? Interestingly, they say they’re in ulaji for us however their needs, not our needs, take precedence over ours and yet we call this justice and see it as something normal.

Overall, this deceit has been going on unabated so as to be entrenched in our constitutions. Are we to spend the rest of our in this dirty game really? Every electoral season some carbuncular politicians come and dupe us and go. Yet we don’t seem to change! Phew! This breaks my heart really.  However, I’m ready to go whole hog to see to it that this culture of political malingering and impunity’s slayed. Have you asked yourself why say president is above the law and pays no tax in some countries? Take, for instance, thievery by the high and mighty. It goes without punishment while heavy punishment is handed down to petite larcenists.  This is how it is. I’m not trying to awfulize or catastophize it. It is real out there. Remember Richmond, EPA and radar scandals? Where are the culprits who are known to everybody even birds? Aren't they still stealing in public offices? What do happen to pickpockets in our streets in the hand of mob justice? They’re set on fire alive and nobody’s hyper alerted by this brutality! Yet life goes on while innocent earthlings keep on perishing. Instead of asking why do they do all things they do despite the danger, we easily and blindly condemn them. To me the big thieves in power are more a danger than pickpockets so to speak. Isn't this ‘better than thou’ that’s gotten under the skin so as to bless illegality in the name of preserving our ulaji even if it means to eat others?  Sadly, when such big thieves come to you asking for vote you don’t tell them to go to hell! Why and whose fault this is at all?

Aren't we sucked by that seven-letter word “a”? I don’t mean …hole guys. Who wants to annoy you and evidence your cortisol and testosterone swell? I’m a humble bin-Adam created to amuse others however sometimes I may somewhat discompose others especially those whose ulaji I put in danger. Again, shall all of us treat one another with dignity and justice, we shall all be happy in the bushel of happiness and justice. Buying and vending one another isn't the way to go. Why live on handouts obtained by the way of robbing you? Think more if not twice.

For bookworms, please refer to the fourth commandment of animals in the farm in George Orwell (p. 46). It says, “No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets,” again, what is wrong with human animals to share beds with sheets and use this sharing as a tool for enjoying their partner’s power?

Only leaders with big heart can do this

Just imagine. You re in Dar and you call a taxi and the guy behind the wheel is Jakaya Kikwete. Put it this way. You are in Nairobi. You flag a taxi and the guy packing in front of you is Uhuru Kenyatta. How will you react when you are in Kigali to find that the taxi you have flagged is driven by Paul Kagame especially when the passenger you are with is Kikwete. Jokes aside, Norway PM Jens Stoltenberg perfected this art. He decided to slip in uniforms and drove a cab to see how holoi polloi in his country live. He went incognito though some sharp eyes were able to blow his cover. Again, can an African dictator attempt such a thing? The answer is likely to be not affirmative thanks to what happened to Muamar Gaddafi who was butchered like a thief. What Stoltenberg did proves how leaders can commingle with the common citizenry while rulers can't think about it leave alone attempt to do it. For more info, CLICK HITHER.

Tendwa alikuwa msajili au mnajisi wa vyama?

“KUTOKANA na utendaji dhaifu wa John Tendwa unaoegemea upande mmoja na uliojaa ‘propaganda’, Kamati Kuu ya CHADEMA imetangaza kuwa Tendwa ni adui wa demokrasia na hafai kuwa katika nafasi aliyonayo.” Hayo ni matamshi ya Mwenyekiti wa Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA), Freeman Mbowe, alipokuwa akijibu tishio la Msajili wa zamani wa Vyama vya Siasa, John Tendwa la Septemba 4, 2012. Ugomvi wa Tendwa na CHADEMA japo ulikuwapo kwa muda mrefu kutokana na Tendwa kufanya kazi kwa kuigemea CCM, ulikolezwa na Tendwa kutishia kuifuta CHADEMA baada ya kumpelekea malalamiko dhidi ya serikali na Jeshi la Polisi kuhusika na kuihujumu na kuwaua wapenzi wake kama ilivyokuwa imetokea kwenye mkutano huko Arusha. Badala ya Tendwa kuwafuta machozi CHADEMA, aliamua kuwamwagia upupu ili kuwafurahisha waliokuwa wamempa tenda yake ya ulaji ya kuwa msajili wa vyama vya siasa. Kwa wanaofahamu neno msajili na mlezi, watakubaliana nami kuwa lazima awe mtu mwenye hekima, ustahimilivu na matokeo ya kazi yake lazima yajulikana kupitia kuwaangalia wale aliowazaa hata kuwalea. CHADEMA wanaweza kukupa picha nzuri ya Tendwa kwa maneno mafupi hapo juu. Leo tutamuangalia Tendwa aliyekuwa msajili na mlezi wa vyama vya siasa nchini. Kwanza, wanaokumbuka, alipoteuliwa na rafiki yake, rais mstaafu Benjamin Mkapa, alionekana kama mtu ambaye alikuwa hajulikani. Na kwa waliomjua walimjua kama mtu ambaye hakuwa na sifa wala udhu wa kufaa kwenye nafasi hiyo. Na kweli punde si punde, baada ya kuingia kwenye Ofisi ya msajili wa vyama, badala ya Tendwa kujijengea sifa kama Msajili, alianza kujijengea sifa ya mnajisi kutokana na kutoa matamko yenye kupendelea Chama Cha Mapinduzi. Kwa wale waliodai kuteuliwa kwa Tendwa kulitokana na urafiki wake na Mkapa, walianza kupata la kusema: Si tuliwaambia. Ni bahati mbaya kuwa pamoja na kuanza kuonyeshwa tathmini ya kazi yake muda mfupi alipokuwa ameingia ofisini kupitia maoni ya wananchi na vyama vya siasa, Tendwa hakutaka kusikia wala kuelewa. Aliendelea kufanya madudu kiasi cha vyama vya siasa kuzidi kuteketea huku msajili akizidi kuonekana kama mnajisi zaidi ya msajili. Je, kwanini Tendwa alijenga taswira mbaya hivi? Kwanza, kama tulivyoeleza hapo juu, alipatikana kutokana na mazingira yenye kutia utata. Pili, inawezekana Tendwa ni kada wa CCM kutokana na kufanya kazi kama mwanasiasa zaidi ya mwanasheria. Kwa wale wenye wasi wasi na hili la kuwa kada kwa vile Tendwa ni mwanasheria, warejee jinsi wanasheria wawili tena majaji, Joseph Warioba na Mark Bomani walivyoweza kufikia hata kutaka kugombea urais kupitia CCM. Je, waliwezaje kuingia kwenye kinyang’anyiro cha kutaka kugombea urais kwa tiketi ya CCM kama hawakuwa na kadi za CCM? Je, waliaminije kuwa CCM ingewapitisha kama hawakuwa makada wa CCM? Maswali ni mengi ila la msingi hapa ni kwamba hawa majaji walikuwa na kadi za CCM kinyume cha sheria. Kitu kingine kinachoweza kutajwa kama sababu ya kutobadilika kwa Tendwa ni ile dhana nzima ya kulipana fadhila au kuneemeshana kama inavyoendelezwa na CCM. Kama Mkapa alimteua ili apate mahali pa kulia na bado walikuwa na uhusiano mzuri nani alitegemea kuwa Tendwa angewajibika kwa vyama au watanzania? Katika hili Tendwa hakuwa peke yake. Hebu kwa mfano rejea mawaziri waliotuhumiwa wazi kwa kughushi na bado wakaendelea kufumbiwa macho na kuendelea kuwa kwenye ofisi za serikali. Tuwakumbushe majina yao ambao ni Mary Nagu, Makongoro Mahanga, Emanuel Nchimbi, na William Lukuvi bila kusahau Dodorous Kamala balozi wa Tanzania nchini Ubelgiji. Pia unaweza kurejea watu kama Mnadhimu Mkuu wa Majeshi mstaafu, Abdulrahaman Shimbo, aliyeteuliwa balozi China. Hivi kama hana kadi au upenzi na CCM mwanajeshi na ubalozi wapi na wapi jamani? Watajwa hapo juu wasingekuwa makada unadhani wangeendelea kukingiwa kifua? Kitu kingine kinachoweza kuonyesha ni vipi Tendwa alikuwa mnajisi wa vyama ni msimamo wake kuelekea na baada ya uchaguzi uliopita wa mwaka 2010 ambapo uchakachuaji wa wazi ulifanyika na rafu katika kampeni lakini bado Tendwa akakaa kimya au kutoa maonyo kwa vyama ambavyo havikuridhishwa na utendaji wake. Tukio la hivi karibuni lililomvua nguo Tendwa akaonekana wazi kama kikaragosi cha watawala ni pale ilipozuka sintofahamu kuhusiana na haki ya chama kuwa na kundi la kujihami na kujilinda. Baada ya CHADEMA kutangaza kuwa itaunda kikundi cha namna hii ambayo kingeitwa Red Brigade, Tendwa kwanza alikubaliana nao lakini baada ya mabosi wake kuja juu, bila  chembe ya aibu, Tendwa aliwageuka CHADEMA na kuanza kutoa ushauri wa ajabu ajabu na hatimaye matishio kuwa chama hakina haki ya kuunda makundi ya kujihami ilhali CCM na washirika wake wa Zanzibar CUF wamekuwa na makundi haya kwa muda mrefu tu. Wengi walihoji uwezo wa Tendwa hata kufikiri achia mbali kutenda. Kwa waliofuatilia utendaji wa Tendwa, watakubaliana nasi kuwa hakuwa anafaa kwenye nafasi hii nyeti. Kwa vile Tendwa ni historia hata kama ya machukizo, wachambuzi na wapenzi wa demokrasia tuelekeze macho na mawazo yetu kwa Msajili mpya Jaji Francis Mutungi. Nikiri kuwa huyu bwana simfahamu. Ninachoweza kusema kuwa anapaswa kujifunza mambo makubwa mawili toka kwa mtangulizi wake. Mosi, ni uteuzi utokanao na kujuana. Kama ana namna yoyote anayofahamiana na aliyemteua, kabla ya kumtumikia auulize moyo wake angetaka nini kama ‘legacy’ yake. Kama atakuwa mtu wa kufaidi ulaji basi Tendwa ni role model kwake. Kama atakuwa mtu wa kutumikia nchi yake, basi urafiki na kazi shurti vitenganishwe. Jambo la pili, aepuke kuwa romote controlled na chama tawala kama ambayo Tendwa alikuwa. Ajue kuwa kuna maisha baada ya kustaafu ambayo ni muhimu kuliko hata wakati mtu akiwa kwenye utumishi. Hivyo, hatuna la kumkosoa jaji Mutungi bali kumshauri awe na jicho pana la kujifunza toka kwa mtangulizi wake ili naye asiishie kuwa mnajisi wa vyama badala ya mlezi.

Mlevi apanga kufanya biashara ya bwimbwi

Baada ya vyombo vya umbea kuripoti kuwa siku hizi Uwanja wa Ndege wa Kimataifa wa Mwalimu Mchonga unatoa nafasi kwa wauza bwimbwi kupitisha `kago’, mlevi nimekuja na mkakati mzito wa kujiingiza full masinonda kwenye hii kitu.
Nani asiyependa `kuukata’ tena kirahisi kama ilivyo kwenye kaya kwa sasa ambapo kila jambazi analala apeche alolo na kuamka bilionea?
Nani anajua historia za ukwasi wa watu kama vile Roast tamu L Aziz wa Kagoda, Moody Deweji, Idd Azaham, Get Rwakataree, Alexio Masawewe na wengine wengi?
Si walifanya mambo wakaukata na hakuna anayewabughudhi zaidi ya kuwaita wafanyabiashara mashuhuri.
Ukiukata hata kama ni jambazi wa kawaida utapewa majina makubwa tu.
Tangu walevi walipoamua kujikaanga wenyewe kwa kusema eti ujanja kupata, hata kama unafanya jambo lisilo jema, utaheshimiwa. 
Kila mlevi anaweza kuuibia umma, kuuza bwimbwi hata kutapeli kisiasa na kuula.
Hamjasikia wale wazito walioghushi shahada na kuitwa madaktari wakati ni vihiyo? Nani anabughudhi ulaji wao zaidi ya kuongezewa vyeo?
Hamkusikia kuwa mzee wa Rada aama Vijisenti ameingiza kaya mkenge mwingine kwa kusuka lile kampuni la Kikameruni la BaE, kupewa ulaji mwingine? Hii ndiyo kaya ya walevi bwana. Usipokula utaliwa.
Kwa kuwa Mkuu ameonyesha kugwaya hii kitu, lazima niingie kama sina akili nzuri.
Hakuna sanaa ziliniacha hoi kama jamaa zangu wa kusaidia kuenea kwa bwimbwi kusema eti mkuu aliwapa majina ya wauza bwimbwi. 
Hata hivyo, mbona bwana Katoo amekanusha kuwa hakuna cha kupewa majina zaidi ya sanaa na hakuna aliyekanusha?
Yaani katika kulindana na kusaka sifa tumefikia mahali hata wakubwa wanaongopa mchana kweupe! Hivi mnawafundisha nini wadogo?
Ngoja tuzidi kutumia kichwa badala ya masaburi.  Anawapa majina hayo kama nani iwapo majina yenyewe ni ya vidagaa? Bongo kweli bongo bondoogle! Sijui wanamdanganya nani kiasi cha na wao kujidanganya?
Ningekuwa mkuu, nisingejitia aibu kwa kusema eti niliwapa majina ya wauza bwimbwi washitiri wa bwimbwi. Hii maana yake ni kwamba wote ni washitiri wa bwimbwi.
Hivyo, nikifanya biashara hii watanikingia kifua kama walivyofanya kwa walioghushi na wauza bwimbwi vigogo.
Kwa vile bwimbwi na jinai vimehalalishwa kimya kimya, nitaanza kupiga kampeni kwa walevi wachangamkie biashara ya bwimbwi ili kukuza uchumi wao na wa kaya.
Bahati nzuri hakuna atakayenilazimisha kutaja utajiri wangu wala nilivyoupata. Kama wakubwa wenyewe wanapata kigugumizi kutaja mimali yao nani atanisumbua?
Jogoo aliwafundisha vifaranga ku-poo ndani ati!
Nani hataki utajiri wa haraka haraka? Hivyo wasomaji msishangae siku moja kunikuta naendesha midudu ya bei mbaya na kuishi kwenye mahekalu huku nikimiliki misururu ya biashara za uongo na ukweli.
Kwa mfano, baada ya kuvusha kago langu na kuingiza mabilioni, shurti ninunue uwanja maeneo ya wazito kule Masaki na kwingineko ambako nitaangusha bonge ya hekalu lenye kuvutia kuliko hata Ikulu.
Nadhani hekalu langu litashindana na lile na mchunaji Get Rwakataree ambalo nalo nasikia kwa jeuri ya mshiko alijenga kwenye eneo lisiloruhusiwa.
Hivyo, nafanya mipango kuwasiliana na washikaji wa Pakstani, Afghanistan na Hong Kong ili nianze kuwasukumia mizigo.
Kwa vile mimi ni mlevi na siwezi kuishi bila kanywaji, sitaweza kusafirisha kago mwenyewe hasa kwa njia ya kumeza. Bwimbwi na kanywaji huwa haviendi na isitoshe siko tayari kujigeuza shoga kubeba mimba za bwimbwi.
Jamaa yangu ambaye ni mheshimiwa fulani ‘alinitonya’ kuwa ukitaka mizigo yako ipite pale uwanjani, ima uwape ‘kitu kidogo’ watu wa Zima moto au uongee na maafisa wakaguzi na kila kitu kinakuwa mswano.
Jamaa amenifumbua macho. Nilikuwa nashangaa kuona vijana walioajiriwa juzi juzi pale uwanjani, kuwa wakwasi wa kunuka wakitukoga sisi akina yakhe kumbe hili ndilo zali lao!
Sasa watanikoma na lazima within not time niwe bilionea kama akina Roast Tamu La Aziz ambaye alichanganya karata kupitia Kagodamn akatokea kuwa bilionea.
Hapa marafiki zangu kama Yusufeli Manjii hawanizidi tena. Kumbe mambo iko uwanja wa ndege! Siku hizi mambo ni kwa bwimbwi!
Lazima nifanye haraka kuukata kabla Mkuu hajabadili kibao au kuachia ngazi.  Kwa vile alitoa `livu’ kwa wauza bwimbwi ambao alisema ana majina yao, langu halitakuwamo.
Hivyo, I’ll become a new kid in the block. Kwa vile Hong Kong na `Sauzi’ kimenuka, mizigo yangu nitakuwa natuma kupitia uwanja wa ndege wa Roma.
Hapa lazima niongee na washikaji zangu wanaofanyia biashara hii kule Ugiriki wanipe tafu ya jinsi ya kupenya uwanja huu.
Pia nitahakikisha nanunua uwanja maeneo ya Magomeni ambako wengi wa dealers naambiwa wanachangia karata zao kirahisi. Hii itaniwezesha kuwa karibu nao na kujifunza mbinu mpya.
Pia maeneo ya Sinza Uzuri na Palestina lazima nako niwe na mijengo ili kuwa karibu na washirika wengine. Nikishamaliza kupata mijengo hapa lazima nitafute mkubwa wa ndata mmojawapo hasa wa kitengo cha bwimbwi na kumpa `inshu’ na jinsi tutakavyokula pamoja.
Kwa vile kaya yetu haina sheria ya kumtaka mtu aelezee alivyopata utajiri wake, nina hakika nitapeta na kupetuka kirahisi. Kunogesha `geimu’ lazima nikate mshiko kwa chama kinachoonyesha kuwa na nguvu ili nipate mshitiri kwenye `dili’ zangu.
Mambo yakizidi kuchanganya lazima nigombee uheshimiwa. Ikizingatiwa kuwa nimebukua kama sina akili nzuri, lazima nitaupata uhishimiwa.
Kama `vihiyo’ wasio na elimu au wale walioghushi wameweza kuupata, kwanini mlevi nisiupate nikaitwa mhishimiwa Mlevi Mkuu wa wakuu?
Kama nitaingia Mjengoni nitahakikisha inatungwa sheria ya kuubinafsisha Uwanja wa Mwalimu Mchonga kwetu wauza bwimbwi ili tufanye vitu vyetu bila kutolewa upepo na maafisa wa uwanjani ambao nao wametokea kuwa matajiri simply because wanakula cha juu toka kwenye `zali hili la mentali’.
Ili kuwazuga walevi, nitafungua Bureau de Change ili wadhani kuwa ukwasi wangu unatokana na kubadili `fweza’ tena za kigeni.
Pia nina mpango wa kuanzisha benki ili nizidi kuheshimiwa na kuiweka kaya mfukoni mwangu.
Ngoja niwahi uwanja wa ndege wa kimataifa wa Bwimbwi kusuka laini ya kupitisha kago langu. Salamu kwa wazungu wa unga wote na wale wanaowalinda.

Drums of War Between Tanzania and Rwanda Must Cease

Presidents Kikwete and Kagame share a light moment

A few days ago, tension engulfed the whole East Africa region especially after presidents Jakaya Kikwete and Paul Kagame openly showed their misconstrued differences. The whole story began May 26^th in Addis Ababa when Kikwete urged DRC, Rwanda and Uganda to put their houses in order by talking to rebels in these countries. Kikwete’s piece of mind was warmly received by DRC and Uganda however it did not augur well with Rwanda which decided to hit back calling Kikwete names and other stuff. For the first time, Kikwete was labeled a genocider and an advocate of killers! One Rwandan journalist went a mile saying that Kikwete was Minister for Foreign Affairs during the 1994 genocide something that is a big lie.

As usual, the media in both sides reigned in instigating the two protagonists to take on each other. All of the sudden, the voice of reason escaped as the tug of war took over.  As an African proverb goes, “Without impalas and hyenas, the lion cannot be the king of the jungle.” Two lions were at it while the hyenas sung their tunes of wars to them little knowing that African has many more important issues to deal with than war and toto self-destruction resulting from such wanton misunderstandings. Again, the impalas namely the citizenry were forgotten. It is sad to note that the media especially in Rwanda ignored the fact that there has nary been a winner in any war.  Thus, the war between any nations ends up causing a lot of misery especially for common citizenry.

What failed the media and warmongers is the fact that Kikwete’s advice was just an advice that would have been ignored or worked without necessarily resulting into such salvos and spats.  Even if there would have been conflicts between two countries, conflict is an inevitable part of human life.  Instead of using conflicts destructively, it is better to use them constructively knowing that they are but natural phenomena. Rwanda and Tanzania do not need to destroy their dependent economies and peace by indulging in such megalomaniac confrontations.

Rwanda and Tanzania are traditionally connected and related. They were all under Germany colonial master before being handed over to France and Britain respectively after Germany lost in WWII.

In his speech on 24^th July at Kaboya on Heroes Day in Kagera, Kikwete was quoted as assuring Tanzanians to go on with their business without any fear. He revisited what befell Idd Amin in 1978 when Tanzania People’s Defence Force (TPDF) defeated him so as to force him to flee Uganda.  He said, “You have heard from the people we have entrusted our country’s security to. We will not allow anyone to play around with our sovereignty just as we did not allow Amin’s invasion.” According to Emanuel Nchimbi Minister for interior this rhetoric-cum-mantra has always been repeated on Mashujaa Day. This means that there was nothing converted in it.

Sadly again, this was misconstrued to mean what was in store for Kagame. Sensing the danger this misunderstanding would cause, Kikwete addressed the nation August 1^st saying, “I have been shocked and dismayed at the verbal attack and criticism levelled against me by Rwandan officials,” Mr Kikwete said. “What they are doing and saying does not reflect the true position …. (it is) completely out of proportion and out of context.” Kikwete’s true stand brought relief to peace lovers all over the world. It is a sign of diplomacy, goodwill and civility to which, hopefully, Kagame will equally and timely reciprocate.

Those encouraging two countries to go to war should know that, shall the duo do, they’ll all lose. Instead of contemplating about war, the duo must sit down and iron out their difference. This will enable them to go ahead with the building of their respective countries and cooperation in the region. Methinks Kikwete used the precedents in which Tanzania advised former Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana to negotiate peace with the then rebel Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) that was led by Kagame. So too, Tanzania is the nest in which RPF was born. Refer to how RPF founder Fred Gisa Rwigema met with Yoweri Museveni a rebel leader then as they head for Mozambique to fight alongside with FRELIMO.

This brings us to the conclusion by Carlos Santayana (1863-1952) that those who don’t learn from history repeat it.  The war between Tanzania and Uganda should act as a reminder that wars have no eyes and there is now winner in warring. Who wants to suffer another economic purgatory like the one that followed after deposing Amin? Please, Kagame take Kikwete’s olive branch and move forward.

Kufuru hata mwezi mtukufu?

Baadhi ya wateja wa Airtel wakijichana futari iliyoandaliwa na kampuni hiyo.
MIMI huwa sipendi unafiki. Wasiojua kitu huita hali hii uswahili japo ni makosa. Nakipenda Kiswahili ila sitaki kinipende hata kama sitakiponda kikitumika vibaya”.
Mzee mzima naingia nikilalamika. Naongeza: “Mbu mbwa wanajua Kiswahili. Mbu aliyezoea mosquito coil ukimpulizia doom anasema nyooo hunipati.
Wajua hata kunguru wanajua Kiswahili. Paka ndiyo usiseme. Hata kufuru ya mzee Idd Lion na Elieza Fenesi wajua pia.”
Mbwamwitu tuliyekuwa tumeongozana kuelekea kijiweni akinisikiliza aliamua kuniunga mkono kwa kukwanyua mic. “Siku hizi hata vyangudoa wanaongea Kiingereza ili wawapate watasha, siyo kajamba nani, mavi matupu.
Nasikia na watasha wenyewe wengi ni ape alolo huko kwao. Utamsikia changua akisema: “Me, my milk is standing,” akimaanisha kuwa “manyonyo bado mchomo”.
Sina mbavu kwa jinsi anavyoonyesha ishara ya manyonyo tena akionyeshea kifuani mwake.
Kumpa tafu naendelea. “Hata wahishimiwa mjengoni hawamalizi vikao bila kubukanya na kuvuruga ung’eng’e. Utamsikia mtu akiongea kiswangilish kisicholeta maana lakini akatoka anajiona kuwa wameipata kuwa yu msomi wakati alighushi. Huu nao unafiki pia. Nadhani ndiyo maana wengi wa walioghushi wanaendelea kuula na kutupuuzia.”
Mgosi Machungi aliyekuwa nyuma yetu akinyata bila sisi kujua anachomekea: “Tate nane tane hei wangeongea kishambaa wakaeeweka kuiko kutichanganya”.
Huku tukicheka kwa jinsi alivyotupata Mbwamwitu anakula mic, “Mgosi umetufumania kweli kweli.”
Mbwamwitu anazidi kulikoleza akikandia Kiswahili, “Kiswahili kina mipaka. Kama unaenda majuu ishia Kipawa. Kama unaelekea Kenya ishia Namanga au Horohoro. Kama unaingia kwa M7 ishia Mutukula hata kama hujala”.
Naamua kumuunga mkono: “Hata Bongo kwenyewe kuna sehemu ukiingia ukachonga Uswa wako watu wanakutolea mimacho utadhani si Waswahili.  Ifikie kipindi tukubaliane kuwa dunia imechenchi.
Hekaya za Abunwasi siku hizi hazina dili. “Karudi baba mmoja” siku hizi haionekani si darasani, mtaani wala duka la vitabu liwe la ubaoni hata maktaba.
Siku hizi watu wanaongea digatali. Ukifungua kompyuta ni Kiingereza. Jamani biashara ya kimataifa si nazi na ubuyu.”
Mgosi anaonekana kutokubaliana nasi: “Mimi sikubaiani nanyi. Kwanini kwa mfano, wahishiwa wasiokijua kimombo wakiazimishe wakati wae wanaowawakiisha mjengoni hawaujui huo umombo kama siyo uimbukeni?”
Mjadala wetu ulikatishwa nasi kufika kijiweni na kumkuta msomi Mkatatamaa, Mpemba, Kapende, Mipawa, Mzee Kidevu na Maneno na Mchunguliaji wakitungoja.
Baada ya kuamkiana tunapewa miniti ya mkutano wa siku hiyo ambao ni juu ya ujambazi wa Mwanasharia mkuu wa li siri kali aliyekula rushua na kuharibu kesi ya Idd Lion yule mwizi maarufu aliyeachiwa hivi karibuni.
“Huu ndiyo unafiki nisioutaka mimi. Kama afisa wa lisirika anashirikiana na mibaka yako wapi mantiki ya kuwa na ofisi tena kubwa kama hiyo?” Nachomekea tena.
Mpemba analianzisha: “Hivi huyu nzee Idd Lion naye ana dini au tapeli? Je, naye amefunga mwezi ntukufu?”
Msomi anauliza: “Mpemba kufunga kwa Idd Lion Mwizi kusikuhangaishe iwapo anaweza kuibia wachovu. Hivi siku hizi hujui wapo wanaofunga kinafiki na mazoea? Umemuona bi Mkubwa Salmae Kikwekwe akijifanya kufuturisha wachovu akiwa na kidosho wa Bulair ambaye alikuwa ameulamba kikafiri na jamaa zetu wasihoji?
“Unafiki mkubwa. Ukisikia ukafiri ndiyo huu japo wengi hawataki kuulaani. Nani ahoji wakati wote ni waganga njaa? Huoni makampuni yanayowaibia yanavyoshindana kufuturisha wakati hayana dini? Alaye na kutoa futari kama hii naye kafiri.  Kwanini mwezi mtukufu unajisiwe na majizi kwa vile eti wana pesa?
“Hivi haya makampuni, kwa mfano ya virongaronga, yanayotubamiza mkenge kila uchao yana dini kweli au ni kuzidi kuwaingiza mkenge wachovu?”
“Nsomi usitake mie nkufuru Wallahi. Juzi nilimpigia simu nke wangu kule Peemba na kuambiwa eti simu ninayopiga haipo wakati ipo? Nilipong’ang’ania nikaambwa sina salio wakati nilikuwa nimetoka kuweka elfu tano. Eti hawa nao wafuturisha au wakufurisha?” Mpemba anaongea kwa uchungu.
“Mie hakuna watu nachukia kama wale wapandishao bei za vyakula na bidhaa nyingine mwenzi wa Ramadhani halafu wajidai nao wana dini. Hawa dini yao pesa siyo nyingine wallahi mie nasema,” Mpemba anazidi kutoa dukuduku lake.
“Unashangaa kupanda bei za bidhaa? Kuna siku watu wengi watafuturu pesa haramu hata ya mihadarati wakati wakijua fika kuwa wanaowafuturisha si watu chochote bali majambazi. Kesho utamsikia ndugu yetu Ewassa naye anafuturisha pesa ya Richmond. Hata huyu mzee Lion anaweza kufuturisha watu pesa aliyochomoa Uda.” Anaongezea mzee Mipawa huku akiungwa mkono na Kapende anayetikisa kichwa chake kwa nguvu zake zote.
Kwa vile Kapende alikuwa hajatoa mchango, anaamua kumwaga sera zake naye. “Tangu kaya yetu igeuzwe uwanja wa mapromosheni uchwara na ufuturishaji wala mimi sina hamu na hawa watu. Kwanini uibie watu halafu ujidai unawafuturisha?”
“Wazee msijisumbue bure. Baada ya wezi wa pesa ya umma kugundua kuwa wanaweza kujitakasa kwa kupeleka pesa yao chafu kwenye shughuli za Mungu basi kila jambazi atafanya hivyo ingawa ni kujidanganya,” Anasema mzee Maneno huku akijipanga vizuri kwenye fomu.
“Usemayo ni kweli. Hebu jaribu kufikiri kusikia alhaji profesa fulani eti naye anafunga wakati biashara yake ya baa ni haramu tupu. Huyu kweli ana tofauti na mzee Lion wa Idd?” Anaongezea Mchunguliaji ambaye kwa muda wote alikuwa akichungulia gazeti. Alivutia na kisa cha kuweweseka kwa Nambari wani pale Chakudema ilipotishia kuanzisha vikundi vya kupambana na wizi wake.
“Mkuu Mchunguliaji unashangaa haya. Jamaa wameishiwa kulhali na kila wanachofanya ni makufuru matupu. Hebu waulize. Wako wapi waliolipua mibomu kule Arusha? Wako wapi walioficha njuluku zetu Uswisi? Wako wapi walioiba mabilioni ya njuluku kwenye ujio wa Obamiza? Wizi mtupu. Kufuru tupu. Eti nao watajivuna wana dini. Dini au duni? Shame on them all.” Anamalizia kwa kukanyaga ukameruni ambao huwa haumwishi kila apatapo nafasi ya kuchangia.
“Wengi tulidhani kuwa ufisadi lau ungepungua wakati wa mwezi ntukufu. Kumbe watu ndiyo wanazidi kufuru!” Anarejea Mpemba kwa lafudhi yake ya Kipemba kama kawa.
Tukiwa tunashangaa makufuru ndani ya mwezi mtukufu mara anatokea mlevi aliyeupiga chakari akiwa anajiimbia nyimbo za Kiarabu.
Mara gari la mzee Idd Lion linapita nasi tunaamua kulimwagia kahawa kwa hasira zetu.
Wabillahi tawfiq.

Swaumu inaanza kupoteza maana

Hivi karibuni umetokea mtindo wa ajabu sana ambapo watu wasio waislamu huandaa futari. Imefikia mahali hata makampuni fisadi kama ya simu ambayo yanawapa watanzania huduma mbovu eti nayo yanafuturisha. Huwezi kuamini kuona Radio Clouds inayosifika kwa kuvunja maadili eti nayo inafuturisha. Je hapa tatizo ni njaa au kutojua maana ya dhana nzima ya kufunga na kufuturu? Hebe angalia hapa chini 'alhaj' Benjamin Mkapa akitoka kufuturu na marais Jakaya Kikwete na Ali Hassan Mwinyi. Je hii ni aina mpya ya uislamu au aina mpya ya ujinga? Sitashangaa kusikia askofu naye akifuturisha au kufuturu.

Call it Bongo International Bwibwi Airport (BIBA)

  

When boozers read stories that Mwl Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) formerly known as Dar International Airport (DIA) has been turned into a drug conduit-cum-hub felt that something must be done.

First of all, they wanted all involved in this crime to be brought to book. Again, when boozers were daydreaming that such snakes in suit should be served their justice one of us opened our eyes up. He said, “Do you think your stupidity and daydreaming that drug barons should be sued can be worked on? Truly, the joint seems to have destroyed your way of looking at things. Who’d arrest who if at all those dealing with this stuff are the power that-be in itself?”

 Another boozer chipped in, “You don’t know what you’re talking about. Don’t you know that the kingpins of this crime are top dogs who essentially are sacred cows?”  The best thing boozer have in common is that they know almost everything. So, whenever you hear their stuff, try to make do with them.

Though one may pooh pooh boozers simply because they use beer brain, there’s a grain of truth in what they’re saying.  Ask yourself. Where’s the govt when drug barons turned our JNIA into their safe haven? Does it mean that our security organs don’t know who are behind this crime? If they don’t they should be disbanded so as to form able and competent ones. If they know but are compromised, also, they must be disbanded and those behind this malfeasance be brought to book.  It is sad to note that Bongolalaland’s become a no man’s land where every quack, thief, swindler, criminal and whatnot can make a killing comfortably.

The other day I met with a very expensive shangingi that belonged to one drug baron. I've known this guy since we were toddlers. His father’s the poorest man in our area.  He wasn't even able to take this guy to school just like others who got it and used to rob the public. Again, out of the blue, the guy’s become a tycoon and nobody raised eyebrows.

Who’ll bother to think like some stupid boozers who regard this crime as another national calamity? Do you remember a former big minister who narrowly escaped an arrest when Germans smelt a rat in his dealings?  What of recent incidents involving cops who were arrested in possession of elephant trophies just in Pwani region. Suppose this is the type of guys you've at the JNIA to man it? And indeed, most of those manning this installation are the same lot. Many punks who were employed just a few years ago are now filthy rich. Ask why? Go ask the drug baron. They'll give you the right answer. Again, where are we going to get clean and sane people to man this facility if at all the whole hunk is manned by a bunch of criminals and maniacs? To avoid being seen as abusing others by calling them names, ask yourself.  Aren’t those super rich guys you know who  stashed money in offshore banks still stealing even more maniacs and megalomaniac if not psychopaths?

One boozer Mchonozi son of Mnoko left us shocked when he said that he knows all drug barons. He said he knows that even mzee president knows them all as he once said.  Again, he says that given that every bin-Adam will nary get satisfied with mshiko, it makes easier for drug barons to compromise even those you think can’t be compromised. The other boozer quipped that what we call drug deals are not actually illegal for bigwigs. It is only illegal for paupers who are not connected or used by the high and mighty. So, always small fish will be roasted but not sharks. And, of course, this is the situation almost in every crime. If you rob the bank, you’re a hero and nobody will jail you. But if you steal a chicken you’ll be fried alive. This is our society. If you steal using a pen, you’ll never be jailed. But if you use the stone that’s known as 'fatuma' you’ll receive a life sentence. So, hither the issue isn't theft but who commits it. Dealing with drugs isn't a crime. The crime’s who deals with it. That’s why we've been chopping the branches while ignoring the stem and roots. Boozers know that cops arrest dopers and get their cuts from barons and this is the end of the game. Since justice’s put on the agora for buyers to buy, any bête noir with dosh can purchase anything even if it is illegal. Money talks. It talks louder especially in Bongo where ujanja is kupata even if the one getting money’s a bugger.

Boozers hate suffering especially psychologically. So, selling them bwimbwi makes them happy. What’s wrong with making them happy even if doing so destroys their brains? Who cares if at all if his vitegemezi are not the victims of his trade? One boozer left us in stitches. He said that’s why even mtukufu doesn't want to arrest drug barons.  For, those affected don’t even vote leave alone not being his relations.

As the discussion became hot one boozer finished the discussion saying that JNIA’d change its name to Bongo International Bwimbwi Airport (BIBA) in the honour of those men and women who bring bwimbwi that makes boozers and dopers happy. So too, it must be privatized to drug barons officially so that the media might stop harassing them reporting about their deals.

Jokes aside, tamaa na upogo vitaagamiza taifa. Again, what do you expect when the blind leads the blind?

Mlevi aja na MLO na sera ya Uhujumaa na Kujimegea

Ninajua wengi wanajiuliza MLO ni nini. Msikonde. MLO ni kifupi cha jina la chama changu cha Mlo Laini Organization, kilicholenga kuwakomboa bila kuwakomoa walevi baada ya kugundua kuwa sasa wanakomolewa.

Hebu fikiri jinsi `kanywaji’ kanavyopandishwa bei kila unapofika msimu wa bajeti. Jaribu kufikiri usumbufu wanaopata walevi wanapogundua kuwa kila mwaka `fegi’ zinapandishwa bei huku `ganja’ ikizidi kupigwa vita.

Sasa wafanye nini kama siyo kuchangamkia ukombozi utakaoletwa na chama hiki kitukufu? Nimeanzisha chama hiki kipya, ili kushiriki kwenye uchaguzi ujao, amini usiamini. Lazima 2015 niwemo kwenye debe au sanduku la kula za kura.

Chini ya MLO na sera yake safi ya Uhujumaa na Kujimegea, nitawakomboa walevi. Nilishatangaza kuwa kwenye uchafuzi, sorry…uchakachuaji sorry tena, uchaguzi ujao `natia timu kinomanoma’ na kuhakikisha nazoa kura za kula zote.

Nimeazimia kufanya yafuatayo: Mosi, kuvunja rekodi ya kufanya ziara nje ya nchi, nikiombaomba misaada kwa ajili ya walevi.

Pili, nitahakikisha nyumba yangu na `waramba viatu’ wangu tunajimegea `mshiko’ wa nguvu kama alivyofanya Ben Chinga Tunituni na Anna Tamaa chini ya kampani ya ANIBENII, alipojitwalia mgodi wa `nkaa’ mawe wa Kiwila.

Tatu, nitahakikisha kila mwenye nafasi hasa walevi anafanya uhujumaa bila kuficha `mshiko’ Uswisi wala Uswazi.Nne, nitahakikisha kila kitu kinatafutiwa wawekezaji. Naona yule anasoma na kusonya huku akitikisa kichwa.

Usikonde ndugu yangu. Sitatafuta wawekezaji wa kuchukua jiko lako ingawa nitafanya hivyo kwa nyumba ndogo. Lazima kuwekeza kwenye nyumba ndogo ili ziweze kukua na kuwa nyumba kubwa kama ile ya ‘jumba kuu’ la Kaya.

Tano, chini ya sera ya Uhujumaa na Kujimegea, wawekezaji hawatalipa kodi. Badala yake nitawatoza wasiolewa kodi kuanzia ya simu, juisi, big G, vitumbua, unga na makandokando mengine, kuboresha maisha ya walevi.

Wajua kwanini napanga kutoza simu kodi? Nalenga kukuza uchumi kwa kupunguza kupoteza muda kwenye ku-text na kutumia simu sana, ili waja wasipoteze muda na kuharibu masikio yao.

Sita, nitahakikisha nawamegea `ndata’ mamlaka ili wawakomeshe wapinzani wangu ambao sitaruhusu wafurukute kwa kuunda vikundi vya kujihami na vipigo vyangu.

Saba, chini ya chama cha MLO kila mwenye mamlaka lazima ale na si yeye tu. Lazima arithishe `maulaji’ kwa kitegemezi au vitegemezi vyake, ikitokea `akadedi’ au kustaafu kama alivyofanya Jose Makambaa.

Na wengine wengi waliojaza vitegemezi vyao kwenye ubalozi, wizara na hata bungeni kama walivyofanya akina Chris Mzindi Kaya, Rashidin Kawahawa, Kigoma ya Milima, Joni Nchimvi, Ally Hasahan Mwinyi, Get Mongella, Joni Guni Nita.

Hivyo walevi wenye majina makubwa mkae mkao wa kula na walevi mkae mkao wa kuliwa. Sharti muhimu hapa lazima mhusika awe mlevi wa kweli anayejulikana kwa walevi.

Nane, lengo hasa la sera ya Uhujumaa na Kujimegea ni kuhakikisha kuwa tunalindana na kufadhiliana. Hivyo, hatua ya kwanza itakuwa kuunda mikoa, wilaya na majimbo kwa ajili ya `washikaji’ zangu bila kujali kama ni gharama na hatari kwa `fweza’ ya walevi itokanayo na `kuwakamua’ kodi.

Tisa, ili kuimarisha Uhujumaa na Kujimegea, nitahakikisha vitegemezi vyangu na `bi-nkubwa’ wanagombea `ulaji’ kwenye chama changu hasa kwenye Kamati Kuu ya Siasa ya Taifa ili kuhakikisha ulaji wetu hauendi mbali.

Kumi, chini ya sera ya Uhujumaa na Kujimegea, nitahakikisha mali zote za umma zinaumwa. Nitauza mashirika yote yenye kuleta faida kwa wawekezaji ili niwasamehe kodi, lakini wanipe ten percent yangu ili kuonyesha mafanikio ya sera hii.
Mshiko huo nitakula na walevi watukufutu. Hivyo, jamani anzeni kulewa mfaidike na sera zangu. Shauri yenu! Cheza mbali!

Kumi na moja, nitahakikisha ninatisha kweli kweli hata kwa kutumia wapiga ramli kuwathibitishia walevi, kuwa sera hii ni ukombozi kwao. Hata sina shaka kwani nimesoma sayansi za utabiri kama vile astrology, astrotherapy, biorhythms, cartomancy, chiromancy, the enneagram, fortune-telling, graphology na `madude’ mengine mengi. Hebu niwape mfano. Wakati wapiga ramli wenu uchwara hutumia nyota 12, mie najua kuwa ziko 13 ambapo ya mwisho inaitwa Ophiuchus yenye kushughulika na waliozaliwa Novemba 29 hadi Desemba 17.

Je, hii si sayansi mpya ingawa hapa si muhala mwake? Frankly speaking, pseudosciences and pseudothoughts are the clay out of which my successes are going to be born.

Naongea `kimombo’ si kuwatisha bali kuthibitisha kuwa nimesoma bila kughushi kama wale jamaa zangu wa kukuu. Hayo tuyaache. Tuendelee na mipango kamambe ya kuwakomoa, sorry, kuwakomboa walevi.

Sera zangu zitakuwa wazi chini ya dhana adhimu ya uwazi na ukweli, ambapo kila kitu kitakuwa wazi bila kuhitaji mimi kutoa maelezo hata zitakapozuka shutuma. I am a wise monkey that sees nothing and says nothing.

Kuonyesha nitakavyokuwa mkweli, nitateua `washikaji’ zangu walevi kwenye serikali yangu bila kificho na kuacha wenye kusema waseme bila kuwajibu.

Sera ya kujuana na kufadhiliana nimeiteua kwa makusudi, ili kuonyesha upendo wa hali ya juu kwa walevi. Sitakuwa na haja wala sababu ya kuwafunga mafisadi kwa mfano, ili kuepuka kuonekana sina mapenzi kwa walevi wenzangu.

Hivyo, kama hujipendekezi kwangu na kuniimbia sifa utafute pa kula. Pia ifahamike sitakuwa wa kwanza kufanya hivyo. Nani amesahau jinsi, kwa mfano, mzee Idd Lion alivyofutiwa mashtaka na Afisa Mkuu wa Sharia wa Lisirikali hivi karibuni?

Waulize wahusika. Wale jamaa wakwapuzi wa `njuluku’ za walevi walioficha kule Jersey na Uswisi wako wapi zaidi ya kuendelea `kupeta’ na `kutesa’, wakikwapua zaidi na zaidi? Ukisikia kujuana ndiyo huko. Haya ndiyo matunda na matokeo ya sera za Uhujumaa na Kujimegea ya jamaa zangu wanaokula kwa sasa.

Mnajimegea, mnawamega, mnamegeana hadi kumegana. Kila mtu anammega na kummegea mwenzake na hakuna anayeumia wala kulalamika. Mungu awape nini?

Beware guys. Si kila king’aacho ni dhahabu. Angalie msiliwe katika harakati za kutaka kula na wajinga ndio waliwao. Mnataka tule lupango siyo?

Ngoja niishie. Naona chama twawala kimeishaanza mizengwe kunizuia nikitoe kwenye ulaji. Kipindi hiki ama zangu ama zenu mmezidi ujuha. Shame on you!

Inakuwaje kufungua mashtaka kwa ajili ya Yesu ukashindwa kufungua kwa ajili ya nduguzo?

Mwanasheria mmoja nchini Kenya ameacha watu vinywa wazi. Haijulikani kama ni mzima au mgonjwa wa akili au mtafuta sifa wa kawaida. Mwanasheria amefungua kesi kwenye mahakama ya Kimataifa ya Jinai akidai Israel na mataifa mengine yawajiishwe kwa kumhukumu Yesu kinyume cha sheria. Wengi licha ya kushagaa wameona huu kama unafiki. Tutashitaki wangapi kama tutarudisha sheria nyuma? Kwa habari zaidi BONYEZA HAPA.

Wabunge wanaojua wajibu wao

Hong Kong inasifika kwa wabunge wake kuzichapa. Hivi karibuni walilianzisha tena kwa kuchapana wakigombea maslahi ya wananchi wao. Laiti nasi tungekuwa na wabunge kama hawa wenye uchungu na wale wanaowawakilisha! Sijui wabunge wetu ambao wanasifika kwa kuwakilisha matumbo yao na vyama vyao wakisoma vitu kama hivi wanajisikiaje?

Jana ilikuwa Birthday ya Kamanda Nkwazi Jr.

Jana Kamanda Nkwazi Jr. alisherehekea mwaka wake wa kwanza. Si haba tulijumuika na kumkaribisha kwenye jamii ya kuhesabu miaka badala ya miezi. Taratibu ataanza kuachana na diapers na kufikiri kwenda kujiunga na vidudu wenzake. Happy Birthday Nkwazi Jr.

Ruling class or bullying class?

Bibbers are openly at loggerhead with the power that-be thinking they’re bullied in lieu of being ruled. They feel betrayed and vended by the same guys they gave ulaji. Such sentiments become a reality especially due to mindlessness and madness some of their biggies. Refer to wanton cops’ cruelty which causes the deaths of impeccable boozers. Isn't it mass and crass bullying? Should we bury our heads in the sands pretending everything is spiffy? Nay! It isn't us.  Bibbers won’t offer themselves to any beast or wino to bully them anymore. The other day I heard Madam Alvera Senzo flexing muscles saying that if CDM forms Blue-cum- Green-Guard-like gangs to defend itself cops will lord it over it while ignoring other bullying gangs under bullying parties. It’ll be utter cowardice for cops to allow themselves to be used as diapers by rulers.

Take, for instance, recent grenade attack in Arusha in which cops are accused of aiding the suspect to flee. Nobody bothers to hunt down the culprits. Can we go on with this boorish ‘Dog-eat-Dog’ madness? Why’s it legitimate for Ngunguri and Ngangari to have Blue and Green Guard gangs respectively whilst it is illegitimate for CDM? Isn’t bullying committed by those mandated to protect us? Whom are they protecting by mercilessly butchering us? Should we keep on entrusting them with our powers as we pay tax to fatten them for our peril? Are we that crazy and stupid?  Where are the cops especially after failing to keep tabs on Igondhus and other known criminals?

We recently evidenced ruckus and rumpus when CDM said it’ll form self-protection groups after cops proved beyond doubt to be in bed with the bullying, sorry, ruling party.  Instead of telling Numero Uno to stop monkey biz, the screwed up cops are playing makidamakida harassing and undermining opponents. How many times should we tell? Seers, literati even common bin-Adams warned: Insecurity for boozers has nary been addressed. Had our honchos fought corruption practically not theoretically, nobody would be forming self-defensive mechanisms. Had thinkers in our offices used their brains, not masaburis, in signing investment contracts would this entire imbroglio have ensued? Let’s face it. Is investment, in our hunk, good for the hoi polloi?  Simple, if it is, it is for the hoity toitty that can manipulate the laws and procedures to get away with 10% cuts. This, even the bird knows. Isn't it mass bullying? Isn’t bullying crass?

Corruption’s caused many miseries to the hunk’s paupers. Biggies squander though the ailing economy can’t support such economic unreasonableness. Who cares if they’re still empowered amidst high and unnecessary spending- in their global trotting?  Who’s easily forgotten how Presider and his wifey left for Majuu when Ntwara imbroglio erupted?  When opposition tells them this is wrong they feel offended! Uvivu wa kufikiri.

 Again, our economy’s always been prescribed in Washington and Davos. Thus, the reality on the ground’s always ignored altogether simply because the donors--- who benefit from our economy thanks to their exploitative policies--- are the ones to give us a nod. Isn't this bullying done by those pretending to be our saviours while they actually are our persecutors? What pains is that when economic blowback resulting from this bullying registers, those guys jump the smoking gun and leave the guilt to our silly begging biggies.  

All in all and above all, those who take us for a ride end up bullying us simply because they’re the ruling class. We now need a truly ruling class not a bullying class with all of its crassitude and crap. Though it is a close call for peaceable boozer of the hunk, no way we can go on making do with it. Boozers have to emancipate themselves. This is the only hypothesis I can put forth shall this hunk aim at ending bullying and bunkum. Again, the writings are on the wall for both protagonists (to read and interpret) shall they deserve to live a safe and sound life in the future. This is the only epic bellwether whose rightly interpretation is the survival of our hunk so to speak.

Bullying in the name of ruling can be seen in every aspect of hunk’s political equilibration. Even birds can see it. Mob justice’s become the in-thing after cops became killers. Boozers have totally lost confidence in the system. Vigilantes have taken law in their hands after cops took them for a ride. Theft involving billions of dosh are reported and nobody is brought to book. What do you expect? Rich ones can hire private guards. Such a situation creates dangerous aura for responsible and honest boozers. What baffles is: Why’s it taken long for the victims to see all this mess? Though the Voynich Manuscripts are seen as un-decodable stuff that beat all gurus in the field, for the sheepishly peaceable creatures of this hunk, the same might apply as to why they've nary been able to decipher this bullying. Again, courage is needed to topple fear and sheepish and fake peaceability.

Bullying, normally, boils down to chaos and instability.  While all signs are clear, the biggies are still pointlessly saying that things are spiffy! What spoof kind of thinking! How if at all boozers of the same hunk are living in two different worlds at the same time? While those with dosh in Swiss banks are getting richer and richer, impoverishment is claiming millions of those entrusted them with maulaji and they don’t care!   To get out of this pastiche unscathed, boozers need to face the reality at this moment of truth.  This, too, needs moral fibers, openness, accountability and vision especially in all aspects of manning the business of the boozers. Myopia, self-deception and crass sanaa aren't needed in this encounter with reality.

Given that my job is to swallow, I better leave their turf to them. The wisdom of today is “time time before time times you.”
