Serikali kuagiza matrekta 10,000 kutoka India

Hussein Kauli

SERIKALI imesema inatarajia kuagiza matrekta 10,000 kutoka India ikiwa ni hatua ya kuboresha sekta ya kilimo kupitia sera ya Taifa ya Kilimo Kwanza .
Hayo yalisemwa na Waziri wa Nchi Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu, (Sera na Bunge), Philip Marmo, alipokuwa akizungumza kupitia kituo cha televisheni cha Star Tv jana asubuhi.
Kauli hiyo ya Marmo ilikuwa ikijibu hoja ya mtaalamu aliyealikwa katika kipindi hicho, kueleza kuwa kuna haja kwa serikali kuifanya sera hiyo kuwa hai kwa kuitekeleza kivitendo.
"Kama kweli serikali imeamua kuboresha sekta ya kilimo inatakiwa itekeleze kivitendo kwani hatujawekeza kutekeleza haya, hivyo tunahitaji kufanya sera hii kuwa hai" alisema mtaalamu huyo.

Akijibu hoja hiyo Marmo alisema, “katika kutekeleza sera ya Kilimo Kwanza serikali ina mipango thabiti. Kuna mambo mengine si vizuri kuyazungumza sasa” alisema Marmo na kuongeza.
"Kuna matrekta elfu kumi tunatarajia kuyaagiza kutoka India ambayo tutayapeleka Kibaha kwa ajili ya wakulima, hii ni kuonyesha jinsi serikali inavyojipanga kutekeleza Kilimo Kwanza."
Hata hivyo,Marmo alipinga dhana iliyoelezwa na mwananchi mmoja kutoka Dar es Salaam, kuwa Kilimo Kwanza ni sera ya Uchaguzi wa Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), akisema hiyo ni sera ya Taifa.

"Sera ya Kilimo Kwanza siyo sera ya uchaguzi ya CCM, bali ni sera ya Taifa ambayo iliandaliwa kwa ushirikiano na vyama vya mbalimbali na wataalamu wa serikali", alisema Marmo.
Kuhusiana na hali ya upungufu wa chakula uliopo nchini, Marmo alisema, karibu nusu ya nchi inakabiliwa na tatizo hilo, lakini serikali imejipanga vyema kukabiliana nalo.
"Hali ya chakula si nzuri, lakini si mbaya kiasi cha kutangaza hali ya hatari.Kwa sasa tunahamisha chakula kwenda kwenye mikoa yenye upungufu na tumeruhusu wafanyabiashara kununua vyakula kutoka sehemu zenye chakula kwenda maeneo yenye upungufu, ili kukabiliana na tatizo hilo,"alisema Marmo.

Akizungumzia mvua za El nino zilizotabiriwa kutokea hivi karibuni, Marmo alisema utabiri huo ni sahihi na tayari wameshaunda kamati za maafa kuanzia ngazi ya kijiji hadi mkoa kukabiliana nayo.

Katika kipindi hicho ilielezwa kuwa, mvua hizo zimeshaanza kunyesha mkoani Mwanza na Marmo amesema serikali inashirikiana na JWTZ pamoja na Msalaba Mwekundu kutoa msaada kwa wale watakaoathirika na mvua hizo. "Kwa wale wanaoishi mabondeni Serikali haiwezi kuwatoa kwa nguvu bali inawaelimisha juu ya athari zake.
"Lakini kuna dosari katika kutekeleza sera ya maafa sehemu za vijijini" alisema Marmo na kuongeza: "Pamoja na uharibifu utakaoletwa na mvua za el-nino, ningependa tuzitumie vizuri kuimarisha mabwawa yetu ili tuwe na maji ya kutosha baadaye."

Mambo ya walimwengu...

A 12-year-old boy in southern England returned to school as a girl after summer holidays. The boy, who has now had his name changed to a girl's, arrived at school in a dress. Teachers had to call an emergency assembly to explain the massive change to confused pupils and tell them they must now treat the child as a girl."We are committed to ensuring the best for our child. We are working with other agencies to ensure our child's welfare is protected," his mother told The Sun.

But other parents reacted angrily and said the head teacher should have warned them before the school's announcement to their children."They behaved appallingly by throwing this hand grenade into the room and then leaving the inevitable questions about it for unprepared parents,' one mother said."Maybe we could have explained sexual politics and encouraged our kids to be more sensitive if we''d had a chance to be involved."
Another parent of a girl child said: "She told me the pupil is already a target for bullying."And what has really upset the parents is that the school didn''t see fit to send us a letter first so we could explain it to our children in our own way."

The transgender boy's mother said that all things possible is being done for the welfare of the kid. She said: "We are committed to ensuring the very best for our child. We are working with other agencies to ensure our child''s welfare is protected."The boy, who has for years told his friends he wants to be a girl, could now become the world's youngest sex change patient.After taking the decision to return to school as a girl, he is preparing for hormone treatment and ultimately surgery.

Under UK law, this cannot happen until he has passed puberty.German Kim Petras became the world's youngest transsexual at 16 earlier this year, changing her name from Tim.

Shukrani za pekee ziwafikie wafuatao: Mwalimu Maggie Seuya, Dada Josephine, Kaka Asagwile, kaka Elias, kaka Martin, waalimu wote na wafanyakazi wote wa shule.

Kwa wale watu wa A town na wale wapenzi wa mji huu pia...

Katuni ya ukweli sana!

Hii katuni ya Kipanya ni moja kati ya katuni zilizonifurahisha sana kabisa. Sijui viongozi wa serikali yetu huwa wanapitia hizi katuni?? Natamani wale jamaa wanaohusika na ubinafsishaji na mambo ya uwekezaji wangeiona hii katuni. Kama kweli baadhi ya wawekezaji ni washirikina basi waliologwa ni wao. SHAME ON THEM! Watu wanapewa dhamana ya kuisaidia nchi yetu maskini lakini kwa tamaa zao wanaingia mikataba mibovu... haya ndio matokeo yake. Natamani ningepata nafasi ya kuwa juu ya watu kama hawa hata kwa siku moja tu...nakwambia kusingekuwa na kesi, ni hukumu tuuuu... Mungu ibariki Tanzania, na tunakuomba usifumbie macho wale watu wenye tamaa, uwaadhirishe!!!

Dont try this at your OFFICE!!!!
