CHADEMA IN IRINGA REMAINS INTACT DESPITE COUNCILLORS’ RESIGNATION– REV. MSIGWA

IRINGA: The Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA) in Iringa Urban Constituency says it is intact despite the former ward councillors who are resignation going to Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM).

Iringa Urban Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) Rev. Peter Msigwa (CHADEMA) said yesterday that the party in the constituency is aware that the former ward councilors who were resigning from the party in various wards in the Iringa municipality have been slippery and working in isolation for a long time.

Rev. Msigwa alleged that the constituency is aware that the ward councilors have been having dark corner meetings with unknown people and that their resignations are welcome.

He told TUMBUSI BLOG yesterday during an interview that the party in the constituency will remain strong in ensuring that they deliver development in the municipal council as they promised the people.

He however, expressed concern that the resignation of various wards councilors and some party leaders will delay development especially in the wards they were coming from.

MP Msigwa has since called on party members in the constituency to continue respecting the party chain of command.

He added that the party in the urban constituency is not shaken and that the decision that ward councillors have taken was their personal decision which everyone has the right to.

“Let them get their municipal council (CCM) and all my ward councilors I will remain with Suzana Mgonokulima who is special seat MP for Iringa through CHADEMA…,” sounded Rev. Msigwa.

On Saturday Mwangata Ward Councillor of Iringa Urban, Anjelusi Mbogo and Chadema Party secretary of the Iringa Iringa Region, Oscar Ndale have announced their resignation going Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM).

Mbogo becomes the seven party ward councilor in the iringa urban constituency (five elected councilors and two special seats) making these decisions within four months.

In the 2015 General Elections, Chadema scooped 14 out of 18 wards and carried Iringa urban constituency into the second round through its candidate, Pastor Peter Msigwa.

Explaining the reasons for resigning, Mbogo said he had failed to endure the leadership violence committed by Pastor Msigwa and Iringa Municipal Mayor.

He said the two leaders lead the party as goddesses, the dictators and untouchable and they reach the point that threatened the party stability and decision within the party and at the party council meetings.

"There is no democracy in Chadema, working under these two people is a problem and self-denial, but if the leaders leave their positions, I am ready to return and become a regular member, "he said.

Akizungumza na blog hii mbunge Mahamuod Mgimwa alisema kuwa sasa imefika mwisho kwa watoto wa jimbo la Mufindi Kaskazini kuwa soko la wafanyakazi wa kazi za ndani wakati wanauwezo wa kuwa viongozi hapo baadae.

“Nasema tena haiwezekani kila mfanyakazi ukifika daresalaam utasikia katoka Iringa jimbo la Mufindi Kaskazini sasa sitaki kusika swala hilo na wazazi wanaofanya hivyo nitawachulia hatua za kisheria serikali ya awamu ya tano inataka kuwa na wasomi wengi ili kuasaidia maendeleo ya nchi”alisema Mgimwa

Mgimwa alisema kuwa wazazi wa jimbo la Mufindi la Mufinda watafungwa kwa kuwapeleka watoto wao kufanya kazi za ndani pindi wamalizapo shule ya msingi au sekondari kufanya hivyo kunadumaza maendeleo yao.

“Haiwezekani mwanafunzi amefaulu halafu mzazi anampeleka kufanya kazi za ndani siwezi kukubali hata kidogo maana nimegundugua wazazi wengi hawapendi watoto wao waendelee kusoma badala yake wanataka wakafanye kazi za ndani narudia kusema mtoto akifaulu asipopelekwa shule nitamchulia hatua za kisheria huyo mzazi” alisema Mgimwa

Aidha Mgimwa aliwataka wanafunzi wakike kuacha kufanya ngono wakiwa na umri mdogo ili kupunguza mimba za utotoni na kupoteza dira ya maisha wakiwa watoto wadogo na kufanya hivyo kutawapelekea kufungwa jela kwa kuwa sheria itachukua mkondo wake.

“Acheni kufanya tendo la ndoa mkiwa na umri mdogo ili baadae mjenge maisha yetu viongozi wengine wa wanawake wanavyofanya kazi serikalini na kwenye mashirika mbalimbali ya nje ya nchi na ndani ya nchi”alisema Mgimwa

Mgimwa aliwapongeza walimu wa shule za msingi za jimbo la Mufindi Kaskazini kwa kuendelea kufanya vizuri kwenye mitihani ya kitaifa na kuendelea kuitangaza vizuri jimbo hilo kupitia elimu.

“Kwa kweli nisiwe mnafiki nichukue fursa hii kuwapongeza walimu kwa kufanya vizuri maana kila mwaka elimu inazidi kukua katika jimbo la Mufindi Kaskazi na kuendelea kuitangaza kitaifa” alisema Mgimwa

kwa upande wake mkuu wa shule ya sekondari ya Ilogombe Pastor Haonga alisema kuwa wazazi wengi wa kata ya Kibengu wamekuwa kikwazo cha maendeleo ya wanafunzi kwa kuwakatisha tamaa juu ya umuhimu wa elimu.

“Hapa katika kata hii ya Kibengu wazazi wengi hawapendi watoto wao kwenda kusoma kwa kuwa watakuwa wanapunguza nguvu kazi zao mashambani ndio maana hawawapatii mahitaji muhimu ya kuwasaidia wanafunzi kusoma kwa uhuru” alisema Haonga

Haonga alimuomba mbunge wa jimbo la Mufindi Kaskazini kutafuta wataalam wa saikolojia kuja kuwapa elimu wazazi wa kata ya Kibengu ili kukuza taaluma kwa wanafunzi wa kata hiyo.

“Ukiangalia hali ya ufaulu wa shule hizi ni mzuri lakini kutokana na wazazi kutokujua umuhimu wa elimu wamekuwa hawawapeleki watoto wao sekondari wakifaulu mitihani ya shule ya msingi hivyo inapelekea upungufu wa wanafunzi katika shule ya sekondari ya Ilogombe” alisema Haonga.

Aidha Mfikwa alisema kuwa wamekuwa wakiitisha mikutano ya mara kwa mara lakini bado tatizo kubwa hivyo jitihada zinahitajika kukomesha tabia hiyo kwa kuwa bila hivyo watoto wa kata hiyo wataendelea kuwa wafanyakazi za ndani tu

Zakayo Kilyenyi ni diwani wa kata ya Kibengu alikiri kuwa wazazi wengi wa kata hiyo hawana elimu juu ya umuhimu wa kujua dhamani ya elimu katika maendeleo ya familia zao na taifa kwa ujumla.

“Kweli kabisa wazazi wa kata ya Kibengu wamekuwa wakiwaambia watoto wasifanye mitihani vizuri ili wasifaulu kwa kuwa wakifaulu watakuwa na gharama kubwa ya kuwasomesha hivyo wakifeli wataenda kuwafanya kazi za ndani na ndio furaha kwa wazazi wa kata ya Kibengu” alisema Kilyenyi

Kilyenyi alisema kuwa uongozi wa kata ya Kibengu utaendelea kutoa elimu kwa wazazi hao ili kurudisha morali ya kuendelea kuwapa mahitaji muhimu yanayohitajika shuleni kwa kwa lengo la kuboresha maisha ya watoto hao.

“Zana potofu zimekuwa kikwazo kikubwa sana katika maendeleo ya wananchi wa kata ya Kibengu hivyo tukiondoa zana hiyo elimu itakuwa kwa wanafunzi wa kijiji hichi” alisema Kilyenyi

Nao watendaji wa vijiji vitano vya kata ya Kibengu ambao ni Dominicus Nyaulingo,Saifod Mwengwa,Haruna Kalenga, Richard Mandili na Demetus Kanyika walisema kuwa wamepokea agizo la mbunge na watalifanyia kazi kwa ukamilifu kwa kufuata sheria ili kuhakikisha watoto wa kata hiyo wanapata elimu kama inavyotakiwa.
