Msanii/Muigizaji/Mchekeshaji Hussein Ramadhani Mtioeti (27) maarufu SHARO MILIONEA amefariki dunia katika ajali ya gari jijini Tanga.
Kamanda wa Polisi Mkoa wa Tanga, Prudence Masawe, amethibitisha kutokea kwa ajali na kusema kuwa marehemu amefikwa na umauti baada ya gari lake aina ya Toyota Haria lenye namba za usajili T478DVR kuacha njia na kupinduka.

Hili ni pigo jingine kwa Tasnia ya Filamu nchini Tanzania, hasa ukizingatia kuwa juma lililopita alifariki msanii Mlopelo na wakati Sharo Milionea anafariki tayari tasnia hiyo ya bongo Move ipo katika Msiba mwingine mzito wa Mcheza Filamu John Steven anaetarajiwa kuzikwa kesho
Kamanda Massawe amesema kuwa tukio hilo limetokea majira ya saa mbili usiku wa Novemba 26, 2012 katika kijiji cha Maguzoni Soga Wilaya ya Muheza Mkoani Tanga.

Akisimulia zaidi RPC Massawe anasema kuwa marehemu alikuwa akiendesha gari hilo na alikuwa peke yake bila abiria mwingine na ajali kumfika akiwa katika kijiji hicho kilichopo kati ya segera na Muheza.
“Marehemu ndie alikuwa akiendesha gari lile, na lililopopinduika yeye alirushwa nje lkupitia kiooo cha mbele na umauti kumfika hapo hapo” alisema Kamanda Massawe.
Aidha Kamanda Massawe amesema msanii huyo alikuwa akitokea jijini Dar es Salaam na alikuwa akienda nyumbani kwao Muheza.

Mwangosi’s killer lands in the dock

Iringa.
A POLICE officer appeared before the Iringa District Magistrate’s Court here yesterday charged with the murder of Channel Ten journalist Daudi Mwangosi on September 2, this year.


Before the District Principal Magistrate, Ms Dyness Lyimo, the accused, PC Cleophase Pasifious (23), with Registration Number G.2573, could not enter any plea as the court does not preside over murder cases.

The case was postponed until September 26 and the accused was remanded as he could not be bailed out.

The Minister for Home Affairs, Dr Emmanuel Nchimbi, said in a statement released yesterday that preliminary investigations had established that the journalist died following the tear gas bomb explosion triggered by PC Pasifious.

The minister said the five-member probe committee headed by retired Judge Stephen Ihema would continue investigating the matter to find a permanent solution to the misunderstandings between the Police Force, the media and political parties in order to improve their relationships.

“Let all stakeholders now allow the law to take its course”, said the minister, pledging that he will continue to work closely with the media for the sake of peace and tranquility in the country.

The deceased was covering the inauguration of an office belonging to Chadema at Nyololo, Iringa when he died during skirmishes between the police and the opposition party’s members .

Meanwhile,Chadema has announced that it has filed a court case against the CCM Ideology and Publicity Secretary, Mr Nape Nnauye, following alleged remarks he made against the party (Chadema) on acquisition of funds from abroad.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday during a training workshop on how to formulate economic policies, the Chadema Secretary General, Dr Wilbrod Slaa, said that it was true that his party had supporters who gave them money but for capacity building for their leaders and supporters and not for campaigns and demonstrations.

Dr Slaa mentioned that the number of the case filed was 186 of 2012 and that it had been filed at the High Court and would involve other people as well.

“This is dirty propaganda that is aimed at misleading people. However, the truth is that these organizations that support us are not allowed to fund political campaigns nor political activities as it is against their laws but only do so in capacity building,” he said.

The Party’s Chairman, Mr Freeman Mbowe, chipped in to say that the aim of their party was to bring people together and not drive them apart.

The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) Director, Mr Klaus Hedrish said that it wasn’t true that they were funding Chadema for their campaigns and other political activities but to build their capacity.

48 killed in Kenyan clashes

At least 48 people have been killed in ethnic clashes in south-eastern Kenya, officials say.
The clashes in Tana River district, Coast Province, took place late on Tuesday between the Orma and Pokomo groups the region's police chief said.
Most of the dead were women and children, he said. Police have been deployed to the area.
The clash is the worst single incident since violence rocked the country after disputed polls four years ago.
Regional deputy police chief Joseph Kitur told AFP news agency that those killed were either hacked to death with machetes or burned alive when their huts were set alight.
The victims included 31 women, 11 children and six men, he said, describing it as "a very bad incident".
Violence between the two communities is often reported, but not on such a huge scale.
Our reporter says there is long-standing enmity between the area's pastoralist communities, who get caught up in a cycle of revenge killings over the theft of cattle and grazing and water rights.
In 2001, a series of clashes between the Orma and Pokomo left at least 130 dead in the same region.
The semi-arid region is one of the poorest in Kenya, with very little infrastructure or industry.
The government recently created a ministry to promote development in Kenya's arid and semi-arid areas, but there has been little improvement in peoples' lives, she adds.
Mr Kitur said the attack had been carried out by the Pokomo on the Orma, according to initial investigations.
Danson Mungatana, the lawmaker for the area, said the killings were the latest in a string of attacks and cattle raids and had been taken in retaliation for a previous incident.
"There have been problems simmering for a while," he told AFP

Another bus accident: 20 cheat death

JUST a week after several people perished in a road accident involving a Sabena bus, about 20 passengers who were travelling in a bus christened Airbus cheated death after the bus overturned at Ituangala Village in Sikonge District, Tabora Region yesterday.

The Sikonge District Medical Officer, Mr Samuel Malembeka, said that the hospital received 24 passengers who were in critical condition, saying two were referred to Tabora Regional Hospital.

“Two passengers including one woman whose arm was fractured were referred to Tabora Regional Hospital,” he said.

According to Mr Mtafsiri, who was one of the passengers, the Tabora bound bus overturned after knocking a log left on the road by unknown  people, suspected to be hijackers.  

Balozi Mahalu ashinda kesi ya Uhujumu Uchumi

MAHAKAMA ya Hakimu Mkazi Kisutu, leo imemuachia huru Bila hatia aliyekuwa Balozi wa Tanzania nchini Italia Profesa Costa Mahalu na Ofisa Utawala wa ubalozi huo, Grace Martin waliokuwa wakikabiliwa na kesi ya Uhujumu Uchumi na Kuisababishia Serikali hasara ya Euro 2 milioni.

Hukumu hiyo kwa Profesa Mahalu na Martin imetolewa na Hakimu Mfawidhi mkazi wa Mahakama ya Kisutu Mh. Ilivin Mugeta kwa kumuachia huhu mahalu ambaye alikuwa akitetewa na mawakili wakongwe Mabere Marando na wenzake.

Prof. Mahalu alikuwa akikabiliwa na mashtaka sita yakiwamo ya uhujumu uchumi na kuisababishia Serikali hasara ya Euro 2,065,827.60, katika mchakato wa ununuzi wa jengo la Ubalozi wa Tanzania nchini Italia.

Hukumu ya kesi hiyo iliyokuwa ikinguruma mahakamani hapo kwa miaka kadhaa sasa, imefikia tamati leo na Hakimu Mkazi Mfawidhi wa Mahakama hiyo, Ilvin Mugeta ambaye amekuwa akiisikiliza.

Awali, hukumu hiyo ilipangwa kusomwa Julai 11, mwaka huu lakini iliahirishwa kutokana na Hakimu Mugeta kukabiliwa na majukumu mengine. Kesi hiyo iliahirishwa na Hakimu Mkazi, Aloyce Katemana na kupanga kuwa hukumu hiyo itasomwa leo.

Kiongozi wa jopo la mawakili wa washtakiwa hao, Mabere Marando alisema jana kwamba anaamini kesi hiyo ambayo imechukua muda mrefu, leo inafikia mwisho kwa Mahakama kutoa hukumu.

Endapo Mahalu na Mwenzake katika makosa kama hayo yaliyokuwa yakiwakabili wangepatikana na hatia adhabu yake ingeweza kuwa kifungo kisichozidi miaka 15 jela.

Kwa mujibu wa Kifungu cha 60 cha Sheria ya Uhujumu Uchumi, Kifungu kidogo cha pili, Mahakama inaweza kutoa amri nyingine ikiwamo mshtakiwa kulipa fidia.

Hukumu ya kesi hiyo leo ilikuwa ikisubiriwa na kwa shauku si tu na Profesa Mahalu na wenzake ambao wangependa kujua hatima yao, bali pia na umma wote wa Watanzania ambao umekuwa ukiifuatilia kwa muda wote kesi hiyo.

Wakati wa utetezi, Rais wa Awamu ya Tatu, Benjamin Mkapa ambaye ununuzi wa jengo hilo ulifanyika wakati wa uongozi wake, alipanda kizimbani na kumtetea Profesa Mahalu na mwenzake, akidai kuwa mchakato wa ununuzi wa jengo hilo ulifuata sheria.

Mkapa katika ushahidi wake wa utetezi licha ya kudai kuwa mchakato huo ulifuata taratibu na kwamba ni yeye aliyebariki, pia alimmwagia sifa kedekede Profesa Mahalu akidai kuwa ni kiongozi mwadilifu na mwaminifu katika historia yake ya utumishi wa umma.

Akiongozwa na mmoja wa mawakili wanaomtetea Mahalu na mwenzake, Alex Mgongolwa, Mkapa alieleza mchakato wote wa ununuzi wa jengo hilo na malipo yake kwa kuwa lilinunuliwa kwa maagizo ya Serikali yake.

Wakati upande wa mashtaka ukidai kuwapo kwa uhujumu uchumi kutokana na kuwapo kwa mikataba miwili wakati wa ununuzi wa jengo hilo, Mkapa alidai kuwa aliifahamu mikataba yote hiyo na malipo kufanyika kupitia akaunti mbili tofauti.

Alieleza kushangazwa kwake kusikia kuwa aliyekuwa Katibu Mkuu Kiongozi wakati huo, Martin Lumbanga katika ushahidi wake alidai kuwa hakujua mchakato wa ununuzi wa jengo hilo, akisema hajui ni kwa nini Lumbanga alisema hivyo.

Mbali na Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa ambayo wakati wa ununuzi wa jengo hilo, Rais Jakaya Kikwete ndiye aliyekuwa waziri wake, Mkapa alisema wizara nyingine zilizohusika ni Ujenzi na ile ya Ardhi, Nyumba na Maendeleo ya Makazi.

Alidai kuwa wizara zote hizo zilituma wataalamu wake kwenda kufanya tathmini ya thamani ya jengo hilo kabla ya ununuzi wake. Alisema taarifa iliyotolewa na Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje wakati huo, Kikwete bungeni juu ya ununuzi wa jengo hilo ni sahihi.

Pamoja na mambo mengine, taarifa hiyo inaeleza kuwa jengo hilo lilinunuliwa kwa Sh.2.9 bilioni na kwamba hati za umiliki wake zilishawasilishwa wizarani na kupelekwa kwa Mdhibiti na Mkaguzi Mkuu wa Hesabu za Serikali (CAG).

“Maneno hayo ni sahihi. Hayo ndiyo ninayoyajua mimi,” alisema Mkapa na kuongeza kwamba hajawahi kupata malalamiko kutoka Italia kuhusu ukiukwaji wa sheria wakati wa mchakato wa ununuzi wa jengo hilo wala kwa mmiliki akidai kuwa alilipwa pungufu ya makubaliano.

Akijibu swali la Wakili Mgongolwa kama alishapata malalamiko yoyote kutoka kwa CAG kuhusu ununuzi wa jengo hilo, alijibu kuwa hajawahi kupokea malalamiko hayo.

Akijibu swali la Wakili wa Serikali, Ponsiano Lukosi kama aliwahi kuuliza ni kwa nini mwenye jengo alitaka alipwe kupitia mikataba miwili, Mkapa alijibu kuwa hakuuliza kwa kuwa alichokuwa anahitaji ni kupata jengo.

Akijibu swali kwamba kama lengo la mwenye jengo kutaka kulipwa kwa mikataba miwili lilikuwa ni kukwepa kodi ya Serikali ya nchi yake, Mkapa alijibu: “Hilo ni tatizo lake na nchi yake, mimi nilikuwa nataka nyumba na nimepata nyumba, nasema Alhamdulillah.”

Pia Mkapa alisema anamshangaa wakili wa Serikali kudai kuwa pesa hizo kulipwa kwa awamu mbili kunaonyesha kwamba Profesa Mahalu alikuwa na lengo za kuzichukua na kuzitumia kwa masilahi yake... “Mimi nitashangaa sana kusikia hivyo na hasa nitakushangaa wewe maana Profesa (Mahalu) mimi namwamini.”

Utetezi wa Profesa Mahalu
Katika utetezi wake, Profesa Mahalu alikana mashtaka hayo na kudai kuwa alipofika katika ubalozi huo alikuta ofisi hizo zikiwa na hali mbaya hali iliyosababisha kutoa fedha zake za mfukoni na kununua samani zenye hadhi ya ofisi ya ubalozi.

Alisema aliyekuwa Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa, Kikwete pia alifika katika ofisi za ubalozi huo na kushuhudia hali hiyo mbaya na kwamba aliunga mkono hoja yake kwamba ofisi hiyo ni mbovu na akashauri ipatikane ofisi yenye hadhi ya ubalozi.

Alisema mwanzoni mwa Juni, 2001 Katibu Mkuu wa Wizara hiyo alimpigia simu akimpongeza kwamba maombi ya wizara yao katika bajeti ya kutaka kila ofisi ya ubalozi inunue jengo lake itapitishwa na Bunge.

Alidai kuwa Katibu Mkuu alimtaka yeye na maofisa wengine wa ubalozi kuanza kutafuta majengo. Alisema baada ya hapo aliwaagiza maofisa wake kwenda kutafuta majengo ndani na nje ya Jiji la Rome kwa ajili ya kulinunua.

Martin katika utetezi wake alidai kuwa, Balozi Mahalu hakuisababishia Serikali hasara ya Euro 2 milioni, bali alileta faida kwa taifa kwa kuwa na jengo zuri na kwamba anahitaji kupewa shukrani.

Akiongozwa na Wakili Marando kujitetea dhidi ya tuhuma zinazomkabili, Grace alidai: “Mheshimiwa kwa ufahamu wangu, Balozi Mahalu mashtaka yote sita yanayomkabili hakuyatenda, aliwasilisha mikataba miwili kama taarifa iliyofanyika kihalali.”

Pia Martin alihoji sababu ya upande wa Jamhuri kutomleta mmiliki wa jengo hilo la ubalozi kukana risiti hiyo au Mkurugenzi wa Taasisi ya Kuzuia na Kupambana na Rushwa (Takukuru), Dk Edward Hosea kuulizwa juu ya ununuzi wa jengo hilo akidai walikwenda nchini humo kufanya uchunguzi.
