POSHO POSHO POSHO!
Zitto kabwe
hii ni kauli ya Mbunge wa kigoma kaskazini ZITTO KABWE kuhusu kupandishwa kwa posho za vikao vya wabunge.
******Nimeshtushwa sana na taarifa za kupandishwa kwa posho za vikao kwa Wabunge. Nimeshtushwa zaidi kwamba Posho hizi zimeanza kulipwa katika mkutano wa Bunge uliopita kabla hata Rais hajaamua maana maslahi yote ya Wabunge huamuliwa na Rais Baada ya kupokea mapendekezo ya Bunge kupitia Tume ya Bunge.
Wabunge wote watambue kwamba kuamua kujipandishia posho zao bila kuzingatia Hali ya maisha ya mwananchi wa kawaida ni usaliti usio na mfano. Mbunge yeyote ambaye anabariki Jambo hili au anaishi hewani haoni tabunza wananchi au ni mwizi tu na anaona Ubunge ni Kama nafasi ya kujitajirisha binafsi.
Kwa Wabunge wa Chadema, wajue uamuzi kuhusu posho ni uamuzi wa chama na ni uamuzi wa kisera. Mbunge yeyote wa Chadema anayepokea posho za vikao anakwenda kinyume na maamuzi ya sera za chama tulizoahidi wananchi wakati wa uchaguzi. Nimemwomba Katibu Mkuu wa chama kuitisha kikao maalumu cha Kamati Kuu ya chama kujadili suala hili.
Toka tarehe 8 juni mwaka 2011 nilikataa kupokea posho za vikao. Popote ninapohudhuria vikao huomba Risiti ya fedha ninazokataa. Baadhi ya Wabunge Kama Januari Makamba wamekataa posho na hata kwenye semina ya kamati ya nishati alikataa na tumeona kwenye vyombo vya habari jina lake likiwa limekatwa ilhali viongozi wakubwa kabisa wamechukua posho. Nampongeza kijana mwenzangu kwa uzalendo huu. Nawataka wabunge wengine wenye Moyo wa dhati kukataa sio tu ongezeko hili la posho Bali posho yote ya vikao. Kwa nini mbunge akubali kulipwa kwa kukaa?
Tazama nchi hii, juzi serikali ilipokea Msaada wa tshs 20bn kwa ajili ya Sensa ya mwakani wakati wabunge wanalipwa 28bn Kama posho za kukaa tu.
Tanzania inaagiza gesi ya matumizi ya nyumbani kutoka nje kwa kutumia mamilioni ya dola za kimarekani. Kuwanda cha kutengeneza LPG kinagharimu tshs 35bn tu, Wabunge peek Yao kwa mwaka wanatumia 28bn kwa posho za kukaa tu achilia mbali mishahara na marupurupu mengine.
Ipo siku Watanzania watatupiga mawe kwa usaliti huu dhidi yao.

Why Tanzanians are so poor, living on less than an EU cow
Tanzania has been ‘Independent’ from foreign rule for nearly half-a-century, under home-grown leaders. However, the country isn’t poor... It’s home to the third largest livestock herds in Africa – and the continent’s fourth-largest producer of gold, currently selling at around $1,700 an ounce!
It has fabulous natural wealth: assorted minerals; natural gas (with potential for petroleum); water bodies; arable land; marine and forestry products...
Other comparative advantages include political stability (so far); internal security (so far); international goodwill within the comity of nations (so far, touch wood!); a docile population, and landlocked neighbouring states – bestowing upon the country’s entry/exit points entrepot status in terms of international/regional trade and other trafficking. Oh; there’s a lot more of such positives for Tanzania.
All that notwithstanding, however, Tanzanians remain abjectly poor, with 36 per cent of them living under the poverty line of two US dollars a day: standard allocation for a cow in the EU and Japan!
Some of our otherwise exalted leaders have been quoted abroad as saying they don’t know why Tanzanians are so poor – along with another twenty or so of the world’s poorest national communities!
The answer that readily comes to the mind of an honest observer is that Tanzanians are wallowing in poverty (and preventable/curable diseases) today simply because the best brains aren’t in Govt. and related institutions.
There’s a rider to that: if, indeed, the best, practical brains are in public positions of authority as development planners and decision makers, then they’re not fully dedicated and truly committed to the welfare of their country and its people! I’ve said this before; I’m saying it now – and I’ll say it again and again until those who still don’t know why Tanzanians are so poor will have got the message loud and clear!
Take, for example, the views of a highly successful private sector entrepreneur in Tanzania (and abroad, no doubt), Ali Mufuruki. The man’s views came out in the Adam Simbeye Tv programme ‘This Week in Perspective’ aired on November 3 this year. [Fortunately, an extract thereof was published in ‘The Citizen’ on November 11, 2011 under the headline ‘Tanzania shilling in deep trouble: here’s what we can do to save it.’
[I don’t know how the paper accessed the views... But, considering that Mufuruki was once upon a time on several Committees of the Nation Media Group, and Board Chairman of Mwananchi Communications Ltd... Local broadcasters invariably treat their material as trade secrets, never posting same on the web as a matter of course! But, that’s another story...].
As I was saying before I interrupted myself, Mufuruki does indeed have excellent ideas on how to make the Tanzania shilling strong once again. The measures he proposes may not take the national currency back to the good old days of the Gold Standard, before US President Tricky Dick Nixon played merry Hell with the Bretton Woods’ scheme of things in the early 1970s! That was when a troy ounce of gold fetched Sh252 ($35).
Thus, one US dollar was exchanged for a mere Sh7.20 (above Sh1,750 today!); the pound sterling: Sh20 – before it fell to Sh14 under British Premier Harold Wilson! Mufuruki’s ideas are workable; and yet, they’re so simple and straightforward that one wonders why our development planners and decision-makers continue to trample them underfoot even as the economy uncertainly totters on.
Look at it this way... Doesn’t someone in Govt. and related institutions (such as the central Bank of Tanzania) know that heavy borrowing by the State is counterproductive in the long run? That failure to strictly control foreign currency transactions gives unscrupulous dealers (including commercial banks and bureaux de change) room to engage in currency manipulations and other malpractices?
No wonder Tanzania’s fast becoming the playground for drug dealers, money launderers and speculating tramps. Hasn’t it been said that Tanzania’s one country where an ‘investor’ comes in empty-handed and empty-pocketed, and do a ‘Martha’s Vineyard’ unchecked by turning Tanzania into ‘Shamba la Bibi,’ harvesting at no cost to them where they haven’t sowed? Tanzania needs the likes of Mufuruki in government decision-making. Cheers!

'Sweden can't afford to lose clever immigrants'
Sweden can't afford to keep discriminating against those living in the suburbs and thereby missing out on the payback of years of investment in education and skills,
The story of my group of friends is not unique among those groups of friends raised in a “million homes” area (miljonprogrammet, referring to the one million homes that were built in the 60s and 70s to house Sweden’s increasing population).
We were six, all born in Sweden, or arriving as toddlers. All except myself hold university degrees, and Sweden has thus invested in our healthcare, pre-school, elementary school, high school and university.
Now half of us are gone, emigrated. For a while I was the last one left, but two have returned. The other three will most likely stay outside Sweden’s borders and thus be resources lost to our society.
They are Swedes, but were never viewed as such. At least not in the same way as other Swedes. At least not by others. It led to a complex self image, but above all to the situation that they didn’t get the jobs they, according to all statistics, should have got considering their academic achievements.
We in Sweden have long sought to simplify the higher unemployment rate among immigrated citizens, an issue which has resurfaced after Statistics Sweden’s (Statistiska Centralbyrån - SCB) labour market report for the second quarter that was released recently. I would argue that this is a form of discrimination which has much more to do with where you live than what has been admitted.
In Botkyrka municipality, south of Stockholm, this becomes apparent if you compare the areas Fittja and Tullinge.
The employment rate among women born abroad is 42 percent in Fittja, and for women born in Sweden in the same area it is 52 percent. In Tullinge on the other hand, it is as high as 60 percent for women born abroad, and 72 percent for women born in Sweden.
The figures show that while international background plays a part, where you live is at least as important.read more here www.thelocal.se

How to Stay Positive.
Visualize a Great Future:
You frequently run a mental movie of the future as you hope it will be or as you fear it will be. With conscious attention, you can choose what is in that movie. Choose to visualize a great future. Practice getting that movie back on a positive track whenever your mental movie of the future starts to focus on possible negative outcomes. Holding the mental image of a great future is the first step to creating that future.
Count Your Blessings:
Gratitude is the key to a great life. At any moment, some things are going well, while others are not going as we would choose. Being grateful for the blessings of life -- including the life lessons that come from our setbacks -- sets your mind for positive thinking and for enjoying a great life.
Be Grateful for All of Life:
With gratitude, all life appears as a blessing - without gratitude, all of life is perceived as a burden. Avoid the tendency to compare your life with the lives of others, with your idealized hopes for life, and with your own life when you were younger. Every moment of your life is a gift -- not something you are "entitled to" or something you "deserve." Practice zero-based gratitude. Zero-based gratitude is being grateful for everything in your life -- grateful that you woke up this morning, grateful that you have enough food to eat, grateful that you can walk and breathe and see.
Know that Life Isn't Supposed to be Fair:
No one is "supposed to" be nice to you or help you. No one is supposed to treat you "fairly." Storms, earthquakes, wars, flu pandemics, and falling boulders are not supposed to avoid you. Be grateful and happy when life goes well, and avoid anger and resentment when life is not "fair."
Avoid Anger, Resentment, and Regret:
Anger, hatred, resentment, and regret help nothing, and are a great cause of unhappiness if you allow them to infect your life. Whatever pain the storms of life ever cause you, anger and resentment can never heal that pain -- and they inflict their own pain - often a far greater pain than the first one. Whatever pain the actions of others cause you, anger, hatred, and revenge solve nothing -- again, the pain of your own anger often surpasses the original pain. Whatever pain you cause yourself by ill-chosen actions, regret solves nothing -- learn a life lesson, forgive yourself, and move on with life.
Forgive Everyone for Everything:
Whatever has caused you pain -- whether nature, others, or yourself -- forgive completely. Until you forgive, the anger you hold will continue to burn. The suffering will never end until you give up the anger and forgive unconditionally.
Keep Active:
If you are feeling depressed and negative, it is crucial for you to keep active. The less you feel like being active, and the more you just want to wallow in self-pity, the more important it is that you get out, interact with positive people, begin projects, and keep active. Until you begin to feel a desire to be active, just fake it -- go through the motions of keeping active until you can generate the positive attitude to drive your activity.
Choose to be Around Positive People:
Positivity is contagious - so is negativity. Choose to spend more time with people who think positively, speak positively, and support your vision, your life purpose, and your projects. Spend less time with people who talk about how hard and unfair life is. Spend less time with people who tell you that your goals are unrealistic and that you are certain to fail.
Be of Service - Help Others:
One of the best ways to appreciate your life and to create a positive attitude is to be of service to those less fortunate than yourself. Being of service reminds you of your blessings, keeps you busy with generous activities, and surrounds you with positive happy people.
Smile:
As with keeping active, smiling is something to do especially when you don't feel like it. Just form your face into a smile, take a deep contented breath, and feel the smile becoming real and your view of life becoming happier and more positive.
Celebrate - Dance - Sing:
Dance to happy music. Sing a happy song. Or just listen to upbeat music. The rhythm of happy music is primal. It works. Try it.
You frequently run a mental movie of the future as you hope it will be or as you fear it will be. With conscious attention, you can choose what is in that movie. Choose to visualize a great future. Practice getting that movie back on a positive track whenever your mental movie of the future starts to focus on possible negative outcomes. Holding the mental image of a great future is the first step to creating that future.

As with keeping active, smiling is something to do especially when you don't feel like it. Just form your face into a smile, take a deep contented breath, and feel the smile becoming real and your view of life becoming happier and more positive.
Celebrate - Dance - Sing:
Dance to happy music. Sing a happy song. Or just listen to upbeat music. The rhythm of happy music is primal. It works. Try it.
