Umati ulifurika mahakamani hadi kupelekea wasikilizaji wengine kusikilizia kesi inayowakabili huku wakiwa nje ya mahakama ya hakimu mkazi wa mkoa wa Iringa.


Umati huo unakuja siku chache baada ya Halmashauri kuu ya CCM (NEC) kumuengua Mwakalebela aliyeshinda kwa kupata kura 3,897 dhidi ya Mbunge aliyepita Monica Mbega aliyepata kura 2989 ambaye ameteuliwa na NEC.




Akisoma mashtaka hayo mbele ya hakimu mkazi wa mahakama ya Mkoa wa Iringa, Gladys Barthy, waendesha mashtaka wa Takukuru,Prisca Mpeka na Imani Mizizi walisema mshitakiwa namba moja na mbili kwa pamoja walitoa hongo ya sh. 100,000 kwa Gwido Sanga ili awagawie wajumbe ambao waliitwa kwenye kikao.


Mpeka alisema Julai 20 katika kijiji cha Mgongo Mwakalebela anadaiwa kuitisha kikao nyumbani kwa Sanga ambacho kilihudhuriwa na wajumbe wa CCM 22 ambapo baada ya hotuba Selina Mwakalebela alitoa Sh100,000 kwa Sanga ili awagawie wajumbe waliohudhuria.


Mpeka alisema washtakiwa hao kwa pamoja, walitoa rushwa kinyume cha sheria ya kupambana na rushwa namba 11 ya mwaka 2007 kifungu cha 15(1)(b) kinachokwenda sambamba na sheria ya gharama za uchaguzi namba 6 ya mwaka mwaka 2010 kifungu namba 21 (1) (a) na kifungu cha 24(8).


Washitakiwa wote walikana shitaka na kuachiwa kwa dhamana baada ya wadhamini kutimiza masharti yaliyowekwa na Mahakama.
Baada ya mabishano ya muda mrefu kati ya upande wa Mshaki ukiongozwa na Mizizi na wakili wa Mshakiwa, Basil Mkwata mahakama iliridhia sifa za wadhamini baada ya wadhamini wawili taarifa zao kutofautiana.


Alisema baada ya wadhamini kukamilisha masharti mahakama ilitoa dhamana ambayo masharti yake yalikuwa walitakiwa kuwa na Sh500,000, mali isiyohamishika na mmoja wapo kuwa mtumishi wa serikali au taasisi inayotambulika.

VIKAO VYA MAHAKAMA RUFANI

OFISI ya Mkurugenzi mkuu wa mashitaka nchini (DPP), imeiondoa rmahakamani rufaa iliyokata kwenye mahakama ya rufaa ya Tanzania, dhidi ya Philbert Mtweve aliyeomba rushwa ya sh. 15,000 kwa mwalimu wa Shule ya Msingi Kennedy Rubindu.


Wakili wa serikali, Vicent Tangoh, aliomba kuondoa rufaa hiyo kupitia kanuni ya 4(ii)(a) ya mwaka 2009 ya mahakama ya rufaa, mbele ya majaji watatu waliokuwa wakisikiliza rufaa hiyo, Edward Rutakangwa, Natalia Kimaro na William Mandia.


"Awali tuliwasilisha taarifa ya kuondoa rufaa hii kwa kanuni ya 77(i) na tukagundua kanuni hiyo sio sahihi kuitumia kwani inaeleza kuondoa rufaa kwa msajili na sio mahakama ya rufaa, hivyo sasa tunaomba kwa kupitia kanuni ya rufaa kuondoa rufaa hii," Tangoh aliwaeleza majaji hao mahakamani hapo.


Baada ya ombi hilo, Jaji Rutakangwa alishauriana na wenzake na kukubaliana na ombi hilo na kuamua kuondoa rufaa hiyo iliyokuwa imekatwa na DPP.


Awali mwaka 2001, Mtweve alidaiwa na mahakama ya Wilaya ya Mbinga kuwa alichukua rushwa ya sh. 15,000 kutoka kwa Rubindu aliyekuwa mwalimu wa shule ya msingi ili amsaidie kumhamishia katika shule ya maeneo ya karibu na wazazi wake.


Hata hivyo, mahakama hiyo ilimuachia huru Mtweve baada ya kukosekana ushahidi lakini serikali kupitia makahama kuu walikata rufaa na Jaji Manento alitoa uamuzi mwaka 2002 wa kuona mshtakiwa hana hatia na baadaye DPP tena akakata rufaa kwenye mahakama ya rufaa Tanzania kupinga maamuzi hayo, lakini mwanasheria wake ameondoa rufaa hiyo mahakamani.


Wakati huohuo,Rufaa ya Yassin Thomas wa Songea ya kupinga kunyongwa hadi kufa iliyotolewa mwaka 2007 baada ya kumuua Mwanaidi Abdallah mwaka 2004, iliyokuwa isikilizwe leo kwenye mahakama ya rufaa ya Tanzania iliyoketi Iringa imesogezwa mbele hadi Ijumaa (Agosti 20), baada ya wakili wa kujitegemea, Basil Mkwata kuomba ili aweze kupitia sababu za rufani hiyo.


"Mwenyekiti, nilikuwa Dodoma katika kikao cha nusu mwaka cha mawakili na nikiwa njiani kurudi nikaambiwa nipitie hapa kuna rufaa na sijapata muda wa kupitia faili la kesi hii, naomba ipangwe siku nyingine ili niweze kusoma sababu za rufaa," aliomba Mkwata kwa Mwenyekiti wa jopo hilo la majaji.


Hatahivyo wakili wa serikali Michael Lwena alipendekeza isikilizwe Agosti 27, lakini Jaji Rutakangwa baada ya kujadiliana na wenzake walipanga kuwa Ijumaa, huku akimtaka wakili huyo kuhakikisha anasoma sababu hizo kwani ameahirisha kwa shingo upande kutokana na mahakama hiyo kuwa na rufaa nyingi zisizotoa muda wa mapumziko.


Mahakama hiyo iliyoanza jana inajumla ya rufaa 30 ambazo za jinai ni 24 na zilizobaki ni za madai na inatarajiwa kumalizika Septemba 6.

UPUNGUFU wa majaji wa mahakama ya rufaa ya Tanzania unasababisha rufaa nyingi kuchukua muda mrefu kusikilizwa na kutolewa maamuzi, imeelezwa.


Naibu Msaijili wa mahakama ya Rufaa Tanzania, John Mgetta alibainisha hayo leo mara baada ya kikao cha kusikilizwa rufaa zilizokatwa na pande mbalimbali wakipinga maamuzi ya mahakama kuu, kilichokaa Iringa na kujumuisha pia rufaa za Songea.


Mgetta alisema majaji hao wapo 16 pekee ambapo wanatakiwa kujigawa katika kanda 10 huku Dar es Salaam ikiwa na majaji sita tofauti na kanda nyingine ambao ni watatu pekee.


Alisema majaji hao 16 wanatakiwa kutoa maamuzi katika kanda za Arusha, Dodoma, Tanga, Mbeya, Sumbawanga, Mwanza, Tabora, Mtwara, Dar es Salaam na Iringa.


Alitoa mfano wa Kanda Iringa inayokaa mara moja kwa mwaka ikijumuisha rufaa za Iringa na Songea rufaa zake zimeanza jana ambazo zipo 30 na zinasikilizwa na majaji watatu, Edward Rutakangwa, Natalia Kimaro na William Mandia na zitamalizika Septemba 6.


"Angalia mtu kakata rufaa tangu mwaka 2008 mwaka huu ndo inaanza kusikilizwa na hii ni sababu ya majaji wachache kwani kama wangekuwa wengi ingekuwa imeshaisha," alisema Mgetta.

KITIMUTIMU JIMBO LA IRINGA MJINI

BAADHI ya wanachama wa Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) wa mjini Iringa katika Jimbo la Iringa Mjini, kesho wameahidi kuanza kurudisha kadi za chama hicho katika ofisi za matwi yao ikiwa ni matokeo ya Halmashauri Kuu ya Taifa (NEC) ya chama hicho kumuengua katika kinyang’anyiro cha ubunge, Fredrick Mwakalebela aliyeshinda kura za maoni za chama hicho katika jimbo la Iringa Mjini.






Katika kura hizo, Mwakalebela alimshinda kwa kura 3, 897 na mpinzani wake wa karibu Bi.Monica Mbega aliyepata kura 2,989.






NEC imemuengua Mwakalebela katika mbio hizo za kuusaka ubunge katika jimbo hilo kumeelezwa kuhusishwa na kashfa ya rushwa inayomkabili.






Baada ya kupata taarifa za kuwepo kwa baadhi ya wanachama walioapa kurudisha kadi za chama hicho na kumuunga mkono mgombea wa Chama cha demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema), mwandishi wa habari hii jana alitembelea baadhi ya matawi ya chama hicho mjini hapa na kushuhudia makundi ya wanaCCM wakijipanga na kuendelea kuwashawishi wenzao kesho kuzirudisha kadi za CCM katika ofisi za matawi yao.






Matawi hayo ni pamoja na Kichanngani, Kihesa, Wilolesi, Soko Kuu la Mjini Iringa, Mshindo na Igumbilo.






Baadhi ya wanaCCM hao walisema maamuzi ya NEC yamemtoa kafara Mwakalebela ambaye taarifa zilizopo zinaonesha kwamba hakuwahi kukamatwa akitoa rushwa katika kinyang;anyiro hicho cha kura za maoni.






“Taarifa za Takukuru zinadai kwamba kwa kupitia mke wake ambaye naye hakukamatwa akifanya hivyo, Mwakalebela alitoa rushwa ya Sh 100,000 kwa wanachama 22 wa kijiji cha Mgongo, waliokuwa wamekusanyika nyumbani kwa Gwido Sanga wakimsikiliza wakati akitangaza nia ya kuwania ubunge katika jimbo hilo,” alisema David Butinini wa tawi la Mtwivila.






Naye Julie Sawani wa tawi la Kichangani, alisema wakati Mwakalebela akienguliwa kwa madai hayo ya rushwa, inashangaza kuona NEC hiyo hiyo imeyapitisha majina ya Basil Mramba na Andrew Chenge ambao wanatuhuma kubwa za rushwa.






Alli Mduba wa tawi la Kihesa alisema uamuzi wa CCM wa kuwataka wanachama wote washiriki katika kura hizo umekiwezesha chama hicho kujua wagombea wanaokubalika katika mbio hizo za uongozi, hata hivyo akasema maamuzi yaliyofanywa na NEC dhidi ya Mwakalebela majibu yake watayapata Oktoba 31, siku ya Uchaguzi Mkuu.






Mohamed Kassim wa wilolesi alisema, kesho jumatatu wanachama watarudisha kadi zao za CCM katika ofisi ya tawi katika tukio ambalo pia watalitumia kumtangaza rasmi mgombea watakayemuunga mkono.






Naye Edgar Sanga wa Igumbilo alisema wanaCCM watamaliza jazba zao za mgombea wao kuenguliwa kwa kumpigia kampeni na kura mgombea wa Chadema. Mchungaji Peter Msigwa.






“Mwakalebela ndiye aliyekuwa chaguo letu vijana, na wananchi wote wa jimbo la Iringa Mjini bila kujali rangi, itikadi, dini na makabila yao, tumesikitishwa na uamuzi wa NEC,” alisema mwingine aliyejitambulisha kwa jina la Anna Michael wa tawi la Miyomboni.

…VIGOGO………….1

ALIYEKUWA mshindi wa pili katika kura za maoni za Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) katika Jimbo la Njombe Kaskazini, Alatanga Nyagawa huenda akatimkia CHADEMA ikiwa ni hatua mojawapo ya kupinga maamuzi ya vikao vya juu vya chama hicho yaliyomteua Deo Sanga (Jah People) kuwa mgombea ubunge wa jimbo hilo.






Katika kura hizo, Jah people alipata kura 6,313 dhidi ya kura 2,313 alizopata Nyagawa huku mbunge mkongwe aliyemaliza muda wake Jackson Makweta akipata kura 1,671.






Akizungumza kwa njia ya simu jana, Nyagawa alisema yeye pamoja na wanaCCM wengine 11 waliokuwa wakiwania kushinda kura za maoni za jimbo hilo, walipinga matokeo yaliyompa ushindi Jah People kwa madai kwamba yalitawaliwa na mazingira ya hila na rushwa.






Nyagawa alisema tofauti na matarajio yake vikao vya juu vya CCM vimetupilia malalamiko yao ambayo yana ushahidi wa kutosha.






Nyagawa alisema kutokana na kasoro hizo hayuko tayari kuunga mkono ushindi na uteuzi wa Jah People kuwania ubunge katika jimbo hilo.






Alipoulizwa wapi hatma yake ya kisiasa itakuwa baada ya malalamiko yao dhidi ya Sanga kutupiliwa mbali, Nyagawa alisema anaendelea kupokea ushauri kutoka kwa wanaCCM na wapiga kura wengine wa jimbo hilo la Njombe.






Hata hivyo vyanzo vyetu vya habari kutoka katika jimbo hilo vimethibitisha kwamba baadhi ya wanaCCM wanaendelea na jitihada kumshawishi Nyagawa agombee jimbo hilo kwa kupitia Chadema.






Mmoja kati ya vyanzo hivyo alilidokeza gazeti hili kwamba maoni ya haraka yanaendelea kukusanywa kutoka katika kata zote za jimbo hili ili kupata ushauri zaidi kuhusiana na ushawishi huo wa kumtaka Nyagawa agombee kwa chama hicho.


Wakati hali ya kisiasa katika jimbo hilo ikiwa na mtazamo huo, wapiga kura wa jimbo la Njombe Magharibi nao wamesema wanataka sauti zao zisikike katika Uchaguzi Mkuu wa Oktoba mwaka huu na hivyo kwa hamu kubwa wanasubiri kujua hatma ya kisiasa ya aliyekuwa mshindi wa kura za maoni za chama hicho, Thomas Nyimbo.






Licha ya kuongoza katika kura za maoni Nyimbo na mbunge aliyemaliza muda wake Yono Kevela ambaye katika kinyang’anyiro hicho alishika nafasi ya pili, NEC iliwatupilia mbali na nafasi ya kuliwania jimbo hilo ilikwenda kwa Meneja wa Wakala wa Barabara (Tanroads) mkoa wa Dodoma, Greyson Lwenge.






Katika kura hizo Nyimbo alipata kura 6,795 dhidi ya kura 3,434 alizopata Kevela na 2,971 alizopata Lwenge katika kinyang’anyiro hicho kilichokuwa na wagombea 13
