MBUNGE wa Chadema, katika jimbo la Tunduma, mkoani Mbeya, Frank Mwakajoka, amewekwa ndani muda huu kwa amri ya mkuu wa wilaya. Mwakajoka ameswekwa rumande baada ya kuwapiga picha na kusambaza kwenye mitandao ya kijamii, madiwani watatu wa chama hicho waliojiengua na kujiunga na Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM).   Wanadaiwa kupigwa picha na Mwakajoka, ni Ayub Mlimba ambaye alikuwa diwani wa kata ya (Mwaka Kati), Simon Mbukwa (Kaloleni) na Amos Nzunda (Mpemba). Taarifa zinasema, tukio hilo lilitokea wakati madiwani hao walipoitwa na serikali kuhudhuria kikao cha bajeti cha halmashauri ya Mji Mdogo wa Tunduma, leo Jumatano. “Hawa watatu wa nyuma ndio waliokuwa madiwani wa Chadema na ambao wamejiuzulu nafasi zao. Lakini leo wameitwa kwenye kikao cha bajeti cha Mji, huku wakiwa wamehama chama na kujiuzulu nafasi zao za udiwani,” ameeleza Mwakajoka katika moja ya ujumbe wake kwa wabunge wenzake. Muda mfupi baadaye, mbunge huyo anaandika, “…na sasa nawekwa chini ya ulinzi na pia nakaa ndani k

Bunduki aina ya AR-15 Rais wa Marekani Donald Trump ameidhinisha wazo la kuwaruhusu waalimu kubeba silaha ndani ya darasa. Rais Trump alisema hayo wakati alipokuwa katika mjadala maalumu huko White House uliokuwa na hamasa nyingi uliowashirikisha wanafunzi na wazazi walioathirika katika mashambulizi ya bunduki nchini Marekani. Rais alisema huwenda pia wakaweka wanajeshi wa zamani katika shule zote jambo ambalo huwenda likatatua matatizo ya mashambulizi ya bunduki shuleni. Wakati mjadala wa bunduki ukiendelea nchini Marekani, Rais Trump pia anafikiria kuwepo na kidhibiti cha umri kwa wanunuaji wa silaha kutoka miaka 18 hadi 21 ikiwemo silaha aina ya AR-15 iliyotumika kwenye shambulizi katika shule ya Florida jambo ambalo chama cha wamiliki wa silaha Marekani-NRA wanalipinga vikali.  

Jacob Zuma, Rais mstaafu wa Afrika Kusini ameondoka madarakani baada ya kuwapo shinikizo kutoka ndani ya chama chake cha African National Union (ANC). Zuma amejizulu wadhifa huo Februari 14, mwaka huu, huku akikana kuhusika katika tuhuma mbalimbali za ufisadi zilizoibua shinikizo la kuondolewa Ikulu, likitokea kwenye chama chake cha ANC. Zuma aliingia madarakani kwa mara ya kwanza Mei 9, 2009, kisha akashinda tena kiti hicho katika Uchaguzi Mkuu wa 2014. Tayari aliyekuwa Makamu wa Rais wakati wa utawala wake, Cyril Ramaphosa ameshaapishwa kuchukua nafasi hiyo. Alikula kiapo kwenye kikao cha Bunge Februari 15, mwaka huu ikiwa ni siku moja baada ya kujiuzulu kwa Zuma. Kujiuzulu kwa Zuma kunaingizwa katika historia ya matukio ya kisiasa yanayowagusa marais wa nchi za Afrika, ikiwamo kujiuzulu kwa aliyekuwa Waziri Mkuu wa Ethiopia, Hailemariam Desalegn. Hailemariam alijiuzulu akisema tukio hilo ni muhimu ili kuleta mageuzi yatakayochochea amani na demokrasia endelevu nchini humo. Hailem

WAZIRI Mkuu, Kassim Majaliwa, amezionya halmashauri za jiji, wilaya na miji zenye migogoro, kuanza kuitatua haraka kabla hajafika ili zibaki na jukumu la kuwatumikia wananchi. Pia, Waziri Mkuu Majaliwa amepiga marufuku watumishi wa Serikali wenye kampuni binafsi kuchukua zabuni serikalini. Akizungumza na watumishi, watendaji, madiwani na viongozi wa Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), Wilaya za Ilemela na Nyamagana, mkoani Mwanza jana, Waziri Mkuu Majaliwa alisema kuna taarifa za kuwapo kwa migogoro katika halmashauri nyingi nchini kati ya mameya na wenyeviti pamoja na wakurugenzi watendaji. Kwa mujibu wa Waziri Mkuu, sehemu kubwa ya migogoro hiyo, inasabababishwa na maslahi binafsi. “Katika halmashauri nyingi nilizotembelea, nimekutana na migogoro inayosababisha watumishi na watendaji kuwa katika makundi, hivyo kushusha kiwango cha uwajibikaji na kuwakosesha maendeleo wananchi. “Sasa, nikiwa kama mtendaji mkuu wa Serikali, nawaeleza wale wenye migogoro, kaeni mtafute namna ya kupa

FAMILIA ya marehemu, Akwilina Akwilini, imeipa Serikali mapendekezo ya bajeti ya Sh milioni 80, zinazotarajiwa kutumika kwenye mazishi ya mwanafunzi huyo. Marehemu Akwilini aliyeuawa Februari 16, mwaka huu baada ya kupigwa kichwani na kitu kinachodhaniwa kuwa ni rasasi iliyofyatuliwa na askari polisi waliokuwa wakiwatawanya wafuasi wa Chadema wakati wakiandamana, anatarajiwa kuzikwa siku ya Ijumaa, Februari 23.

Shakhtar Donetsk came from behind to beat Roma 2-1 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 meeting thanks to a spectacular winner from the Brazil midfielder Fred. The 24-year-old Fred showed why some of Europe’s top clubs are reportedly scouting him with a perfect free-kick in the 71st minute. Facundo Ferreyra had levelled for the Ukrainian club early in the second half after Cengiz Ünder continued his fine run of form by giving Roma the lead shortly before half-time. Roma dominated the first half but it was the Italian club’s Alisson who was the busier of the two goalkeepers. Shakhtar, who are playing their home matches in Kharkiv as the stadium in Donetsk was damaged by the conflict in Ukraine, had early chances but Roma went the closest when Edin Dzeko saw his attempt parried from close range by Andriy Pyatov, who then did well to kick away the ball. Roma started to take control and took a deserved lead four minutes from half-time. Dzeko put in a perfectly-weighte

• Mourinho unhappy with medical department after Ander Herrera injury • United manager praises Scott McTominay after 0-0 draw in Spain. José Mourinho refused to be drawn on the absence of Paul Pogba from his starting lineup in Seville where Manchester United held on for a dogged scoreless draw. Instead United’s manager had praise for the “fantastic” performance of Scott McTominay, who started in Pogba’s place, and called on Old Trafford to produce “a big Champions League night” in three weeks’ time. “I think we finished the game with more space than we had in the beginning, more close to the possibility of scoring a goal,” Mourinho said, batting away the suggestion United might have been relieved to emerge with a clean sheet after David de Gea again produced a series of fine saves.

United manager’s omission of France midfielder from the starting XI suggests relationship is still subject to turbulence Well, we got there in the end. Grudgingly, belatedly and against the manager’s better judgment. But with 17 minutes gone in this Champions League first leg, on a breezy, boisterous night in Seville, José Mourinho found himself forced by circumstance and bad luck into playing his most talented midfielder in his favourite position. It is, of course, important not to be drawn too deeply into another Mourinho psychodrama. On a scale of one to Ramos the current half-glimpsed friction with Paul Pogba is hardly likely to rate a top-10 mention in the all-time annals of toxic José-dom. Plus, Mourinho was correct to suggest after this 0-0 draw that the return leg at Old Trafford will be an entirely different occasion; and that this was a good result, albeit on the back of another choked and sputtering performance as United were pushed back repeatedly by an increasingl

And so to Old Trafford. Sevilla had not been able to defeat Manchester United at the Sánchez Pizjuán but their supporters recognised they had been close and there is still hope they can reach the quarter-final of this competition for the first time in their history. United, too, may consider this a decent result. Often overrun, able to muster only one shot on target, two superb saves from David de Gea kept them in a game with no goals. A game where to start with Paul Pogba had been absent, too – and that is likely to occupy the next few days almost as much as this performance will.

Shocking hygiene failings have been discovered in some of the US’s biggest meat plants, as a new analysis reveals that as many as 15% (one in seven) of the US population suffers from foodborne illnesses annually. A joint investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) and the Guardian found that hygiene incidents are at numbers that experts described as “deeply worrying”. US campaigners are calling once again for the closure of a legal loophole that allows meat with salmonella to be sold in the human supply chain, and also warn about the industry’s push to speed up production in the country’s meat plants. And UK campaigners warn that the UK could be flooded with “dirty meat” if a US trade deal is signed post-Brexit. Animals farmed: welcome to our series The unpublished US- government records highlight numerous specific incidents including: Diseased poultry meat that had been condemned found in containers used to hold edible food products; Pig carcasses piling

WACHEZAJI Andrei Arshavin, Maroune Chamakh, Squillaci ni wachezaji wanaotajwa kuuzwa huku Manuel Almunia na kipa mwenzie, Vito Mannone wakiwa tayari wameshapewa baraka za kuondokan Emirates. Kwa mujibu wa Daily Mail, Arsenal ina mpango wa kuwapunguza wachezaji hao mwezi ujao katika kipindi cha dirisha dogo kutokana na kushindwa kucheza vizuri katika mechi yao ya Ligi ya Mabingwa mjini, Athens Ugiriki. Arsenal pia itasikiliza ofa ya kumtaka mchezaji Tomas Rosicky, ingawa klabu inahofia kutopata viungo mbadala, huku Jack Wilshere akiwa majeruhi. Arsenal iliwaacha wachezaji watano katika majira ya joyo yaliyopita. Wilshere atasubiri hadi wiki hii kuona kama atapewa adhabu kutokana na kuvunja sheria inayokataza wachezaji kucheza kamari ya kutabiri. Kabla ya mechi ya Jumanne iliyopita dhidi ya Olympiakos, kiungo huyo alisema kwenye mtandao wake kuwa anatabiri Emmanuel Frimpong kufunga bao la kwanza. Wilshere baadaye aliandika tena kwenye mtandao wake na kukanusha kutabiri. Shiri

IT was once a lifeline of people around. But now, one of the mighty river in Tanzania commercial capital, which source its flows from Mbezi Luis and Kinyerezi suburbs, is now one of the most polluted rivers because of rampant dumping of industrial and human waste. Msimbazi River has as high as 12 pH levels or 4 more pollutants as per State level, mandated for a safe river.   The river has turned into a potential source of severe burns to skin, according to a water resource management watchdog group of organisations. Uhakika wa Maji Programme, a joint initiative between Shahidi wa Maji, a national network of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) working in the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector (TaWaSaNET) and the global Water Witness International has finally released data after years of sampling of rivers in the country. The new study shows, Msimbazi River chemical compound- Chromium VI is at 75 times the legal limit. Chromium is very toxic, and public health experts say long-

THE Head Coach of the Shinyanga- based Mwadui FC, Ally Bizimungu has blamed the match referee Enock Onoka following their 1-0 loss to Tanzania Prisons in Mbeya on Monday. Bizimungu claimed in post match interview at Sokoine Stadium saying referee Onoka from Arusha contributed much to his team’s loss. Onoka was assisted by line 1, Khalfan Sikha (Coast Region) and line 2, Rashid Zongo from Iringa. According to Bizimungu, the referee blew his whistle every time whenever his player touched the ball. He, however, claimed that his players played well and created a lot of chances but the referee frustrated their efforts. The former Mukura Victory and Rayon Sports coach said he would concentrate with the team’s next matches while promising to rectify some mistakes.

THE interbank cash market is set to take a monetary centre stage as the economy migrates to interest-rate targeting next month.
