Baadhi ya waajiri wa watoto wafanyakazi wa nyumbani jijini Mwanza wameelezwa kuwa kikwazo cha kuwaruhusu watoto hao kupata elimu ya utambuzi yanayotolewa na shirika la WoteSawa.

Mratibu wa shirika hilo linalotetea haki na maslahi kwa watoto wafanyakazi wa nyumbani, Cecilia Nyangasi ameyasema hayo hii leo wakati wa mafunzo kwa watoto wafanyakazi katika Kata ya Buhongwa jijini hapa.

“Waajiri wamekuwa ni changamoto kubwa kwa sababu wengi wao wanadhani kwamba tunakuja kuwapotosha watoto wao”. Alisema Nyangasi na kubainisha kwamba shirika la WoteSawa linatoa elimu ya kuwajengea uwezo wa kutambua haki zao kisheria, wajibu wao kazini pamoja na elimu ya afya ya uzazi ili kuondokana na mimba za utotoni.

Nyangasi alisema baada ya mafunzo hayo ya siku tatu kuanzia jana, itaundwa kamati ya watoto wafanyakazi wa nyumbani Kata ya Buhongwa kama ilivyofanyika kwenye Kata za Nyakato, Mecco, Isamilo, Pasiansi, Kirumba na Mkuyuni ambapo jukumu kubwa la kamati hizo ni kuwa mabalozi wa watoto wengine ambao hawakufikiwa na mafunzo hayo.

Suzana John na Lugwisha Zakaria ambao ni baadhi ya washiriki wa mafunzo hayo yaliyojumuisha watoto 47 katika Kata hiyo ya Buhongwa, wamesema mafunzo hayo yamewasaidia kutambua haki zao kisheria na pia wajibu wao kama waajiriwa.

LHRC YAPINGA ADHABU YA KIFO

KITUO cha Sheria na Haki za Binadamu (LHRC) kimeitaka serikali kubadilisha sharia, kuondoa adhabu ya kifo kwa kuweka adhabu mbadala kwenye makosa ya jinai na wafungwa waliopo katika vifungo vya muda mrefu gerezani.

Kaimu Mkurugenzi Mkuu Mtendaji wa LHRC Anna Henga akizungumza na waandishi wa habari juu ya kupinga adhabu ya kifo leo jijini Dar es Salaam.

Kauli hiyo imetolewa leo jijini Dar es Salaam na Kaimu Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa LHRC Anna Henga akizungumza na Mtandao wa Matukio360, amesema kuwa kituo hicho kinaungana na Mtandao wa Kupinga Adhabu ya Kifo Duniani katika maadhimisho ya 15 siku ya kupinga adhabu ya kifo.

Henga amesema adhabu ya kifo ni adhabu ya kikatili ambayo inakinzana na misingi ya utu na haki za binadamu kama ilivyoainishwa katika mikataba mbalimbali ya kimataifa.

“Adhabu ya kifo ni adhabu ya kikatili isiyo ya staha, inayotweza utu wa binadamu, inafanya serikali ionekane pia kama mhalifu kwa kuua, tuitake serikali ibadilishe sharia na kuondoa adhabu ya kifo na kuweka adhabu mbadala kwenye makosa ya jinai na kwa wafungwa waliopo mfano vifungo vya mrefu,” amesema Henga.

Aidha LHRC kime mpongeza Rais John Magufuli kwa kuweka wazi msimamo wake wa kutounga mkono adhabu ya kifo kwani ni ya kinyama na isiyostahili binadamu yeyote.

Kwa upande mwingine Henga ametoa sababu za kituo hicho kupinga adhabu hiyo. Miongoni mwa sababu hizo ni pamoja na adhabu kuwa ya kibaguzi kwani mara nyingi wanaopatikana na hatia na kupewa adhabu hiyo ni maskini wasioweza kuwa na ushauri wa kisheria na watu wengine.

Nyingine ni vigumu kuthibitisha kuwa inatekelezwa tu kwa watu ambao wametenda na kukutwa na hatia ya kosa hili au wabaya Zaidi, Adhabu hiyo ikitolewa kwa mtu asiye na hatia kimakosa huwezi kuirekebisha kwani mfumo wa utoaji haki huwa pia na uwezekano wa kuwa na mianya ya makosa.

Ameongeza nyingine kuwa ni adhabu kutompa nafasi mtuhumiwa kujirekebisha bali ni ya kulipiza kisasi na wala haimsaidii mtu yeyote hata familia ya muathirika, hakuna ushahidi wowote kuwa adhabu hiyo inazuia watu wengine kutokwenda makosa kama hayo.

Pia amesema sharia hiyo inamianya ya makosa na ni vigumu kuwa na uhakika kuwa haki itatendeka kila wakati. Wapelelezi –ubambikiwaji wa kesi, changamoto za kiupelelezi, waendesha mashtaka, huweza kufanya makosa, majaji kufungwa mikono kulingana na uwakilishi mbele yao na kubanwa na sharia inayowataka kutoa adhabu ya kifo kwenye makosa tajwa.

WANA GDSS WAFANYA UCHAMBUZI NA KUANGALIA USHIRIKISHWAJI WA WANANCHI KATIKA BAJETI YA TAIFA

Washiriki wa semina za jinsia na maendeleo (GDSS) wamekutana jumaatano hii lengo likiwa ni kujadili ushirikishwaji wa moja kwa moja wa wananchi katika upangaji wa bajeti kuu ya taifa.

Mlaghbishi wa semina ya GDSS wiki hii Bw. Hancy Orote akitoa ufafanuzi juu ya jambo fulani katika semina iliyofanyika mapema wiki hii makao makuu ya TGNP Mtandao Mabibo Dar es salaam.

Akiongoza semina hiyo mwanaharakati kutoka GDSS Bw. Ance Obote alisema dhumuni la kukutana mahali hapo ni wanaharakati kubadilishana uwezo kuhusu ufahamu, ushiriki na jinsi gani wanatoa elimu hiyo kwa wananchi kuhakikisha wanaitumia haki yao ya msingi ya kushiriki katika bajeti.

Muwezeshaji huyo amesema kuwa wananchi huusika sehemu kuu mbili ambazo ni kwenye kupanga vipaumbele na ufuatiliaji(utekelezaji) lakini wananchi hawapewi nafasi ya kupanga vipaumbele na kinachofanyika ni diwani anakutana na mtendaji wa kata na kupanga kipi kianze kama kipaumbele na kipi kiwe cha mwisho.

Mshiriki wa semina za GDSS Bw. Geofrey Chambua akitoa mchango wake katika semina iliyofanyika mapema wiki hii Mabibo jijini Dar es salaam.

Na jambo lingine ni kwamba kwa maeneo ya mijini hakunaga vikao vinavyokaliwa na kujadili maendeleo ya mtaa ama kata hivyo mambo yanaendeshwa kienyeji na mambo mengi yanayofanywa yanakuwa ni akili za viongozi na siyo mawazo ya wananchi hali inayoweka ugumu katika utekelezaji wa mambo mengi kama hili la kuweka vipaumbele.

Aidha wanaharakati wameamua kuweka utaratibu wa kujipima kwa kuangalia harakati zao zinafika umbali gani na katika hili wameamua kupeleka ushawishi katika kata walau tatu na kuja kuangalia ushawishi wao wa kubadilisha dhana hii ya viongozi kupanga vipaumbele wenyewe bila kushirikisha wananchi inaweza kuisha?.

Bw. Msafiri Shabani akitoa maoni yake ya nini kifanyike ili kuhakikisha wananchi wanapata haki yao ya moja kwa moja ya kushiriki katika kupanga vipaumbele katika bajeti ya Taifa.

Lakini pia kupitia semina hiyo wanaharakati wameweka mipango mbalimbali ya kufuatilia jambo hilo na kugawana majukumu mpaka ifikapo tarehe 29 novemba kila kundi lililochaguliwa kufuatilia katika kata husika liwe limeleta mrejesho wa kilichopatikana na mgawanyo wenyewe ulikuwa kama ifuatavyo.

Washiriki wa semina za GDSS wamepewa majukumu ya kufuatilia katika serikali zao za mitaa kwa kuwahoji viongozi wa mitaa yao na kuleta mrejesho kwanini wananchi hawapati nafasi ya kushiriki katika kupanga vipaumbele na matokeo yake wanahusishwa katika hatua za mwisho ambazo ni utekelezaji.

Baadhi ya washiriki wa semina za GDSS walioudhulia mapema wiki hii.

Lakini vituo vya taarifa na maarifa wao wameombwa kufuatilia serikali kuu hii ikiwa ni katika wizara mbalimbali zinazohusika na hili ili kuweza kukusanya majibu ya serikali za mitaa pamoja na wizara kuweza kuwa na jibu moja lililokamilika kuhusu swala hilo.

Na jambo lingine ni kuabadilisha mtindo wa kuingia katika sekta hizi kwani wengi uenda kwa njia ya kujiita wanaharakati jambo ambalo linawafanya watu hawa kuwaona wao ni wapinzani na kuweka chuki miaongoni mwao, na pia imeelezwa sio vizuri kwenda mtu mmoja mmoja na wanatakiwa kuunda makundi madogo madogo yatakayowafanya waonekane ni wananchi kweli wanaohitaji taarifa za kata au mtaa wao.

Baadhi ya wanaharakati wakifuatilia kwa umakini semina iliyoendeshwa na Hancy Orote mapema wiki hii Mabibo Dar es salaam.

Aidha wanaharakati wameshauriwa kufanya kazi kwa moyo wa kijitolea na kuleta mabadiliko katika jamii yao na siyo kufanya ili waonekane na TGNP au kwa ajiri ya kuleta ripoti kwa mtu Fulani bali wafanye kwa manufaa yao na jamii iliyowazunguka. 

WAZIRI MWIJAGE AMJIBU DANGOTE...

SERIKALI kupitia kwa Waziri wa Viwanda, Biashara na Uwekezaji, Charles Mwijage imekanusha madai yaliyotolewa na Aliko Dangote kuwa, sera za serikali ya awamu ya tano chini ya Rais Dkt Magufuli zinatishia wawekezaji.

Akizungumza jana, Waziri Mwijage amesema kuwa sera za uwekezaji ziko wazi na zina lenga kuhakikisha kuwa, serikali pia inanufaika na rasilimali za nchi.

Dangote ambaye ni tajiri namba moja Afrika alinukuliwa akisema kuwa, serikali imeweka sera ambazo zinaifanya imiliki asilimia kubwa ya hisa kwenye mali.

"Wanawatisha wawekezaji wengi, na kuwatisha wawekezaji sio kitu kizuri kufanya," alisema Dangote katika mkutano wa Afrika uliofanyika jijini London.

Dangote ni miongoni mwa wawekezaji Tanzania ambapo anamiliki kiwanda cha saruji chenye thamani ya Tsh 1.3 trilioni katika Mkoa wa Mtwara.

Waziri Mwijage alisema kuwa, wawekezaji katika Sekta ya Uchimbaji wanatakiwa kutoa umiliki wa asiliimia 16 kwa serikali ili kuhakikisha kuwa nchi inafaidika kutokana na rasilimali zake. Aliongeza waziri huyo kwamba, anategemea mtu kama Dangote ambaye ni mwekezaji mkubwa nchini, awe na uelewa kuhusu sheria za nchi.

"Kampuni inapokuja kuwekeza katika sekta ya uchimbaji, hisa za serikali hazitakiwi kuwa chini ya asilimia 16, na hili si kosa kabisa kwa sababu rasilimali ni zetu," alisema Waziri Mwijage.

Aidha, Waziri Mwijage alisisitiza kuwa atahakikisha wawekezaji wote nchini wanafuata sheria, na kwamba hakutegemea kama Dangote angekuwa mmoja wa watu ambao wangekosoa mazingira ya uwekezaji Tanzania.

“Dangote amekuwa hana tatizo hapa. Wakati wowote anapokumbwa na tatizo, serikali yote hukimbia na kumsaidia. Unakumbuka alipokuwa na tatizo mwaka jana, wote tulikuwepo kwa ajili ya kumsaidia,” alisema Waziri Mwijage.

Katika mkutano huo, Dangote alisema uhusiano wake na Rais Magufuli ni mzuri, lakini akamshauri kuangalia upya sera zake za uwekezaji.

Theresa May: 'I won't hide from a challenge'

Theresa May has vowed in a Sunday newspaper that she will not “hide from a challenge” amid speculation that she could be about to perform a cabinet reshuffle in an attempt to repair the damage to her authority.

The prime minister, who appears to have seen off an immediate attempt to oust her after her mishap-hit conference speech, is still vulnerable and has come under pressure to bring new faces into her top team in an effort to revitalise her administration. 

Axe old guard to make way for young stars, senior Tories tell May

The foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, has urged Tories to get behind the prime minister, but acknowledged that there had been a moment while MPs “sniffed the air” before rallying round the embattled premier.

And the former prime minister Sir John Major hit out at the “self-absorbed” and “disloyal” behaviour of some Tories who are “driven by their own personal agenda” – comments that will be viewed as a slapdown to Johnson.

May has repeatedly faced questions about whether Johnson, a potential leadership rival, is “unsackable” due to her weakened position after her gamble of a general election backfired, depriving her of a Commons majority. But asked what she might do with the foreign secretary, May told the Sunday Times: “It has never been my style to hide from a challenge and I’m not going to start now.

“I’m the PM, and part of my job is to make sure I always have the best people in my cabinet, to make the most of the wealth of talent available to me in the party.”

May’sconference speech was interrupted by a prankster who handed her a fake P45, while a persistent cough left her struggling to be heard and a backdrop began to shed letters as she made her crucial address.

The prime minister denied that she had cried after the speech and hit out at some of the media portrayals of her. “One minute journalists are accusing me of being an ice maiden or a robot, then they claim I’m a weeping woman in dire need of a good night’s sleep,” she told the newspaper. “The truth is, my feelings can be hurt, like everyone else, but I am pretty resilient.”

She admitted the speech was an “uncomfortable” time but never considered abandoning the address. “I am not someone who gives up,” she said.

Questions have been asked about the security arrangements that allowed comedian Lee Nelson – real name Simon Brodkin – to carry out the P45 stunt. May said she trusted her police protection officers completely, but there would “be a review into the events of the day”.

An attempted coup led by former party chairman Grant Shapps has fizzled out, but the Sunday Times claimed that at least three cabinet ministers had discussed the need to replace the prime minister on Thursday evening, the day after her conference calamity. One told the newspaper: “It feels to me that this is over before Christmas.”

Johnson used his Sunday Telegraph column to question whether the Tory party would allow itself to be forced into “an election that no one wants”, writing: “What do you think you are doing, you nutters?” He said the party’s MPs had “sniffed the air and turned sensibly away from the cliff”.

Major used a Mail on Sunday article to urge the Tories to “wake up and smell the coffee”, telling May that radical action on her social justice agenda was needed and calling on the party to unite or risk the “neo-Marxist” Jeremy Corbyn taking power.

Since you’re here …

The Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.Thomasine F-R.
