Ndulu: Hali ya uchumi inaridhisha

GAVANA wa Benki Kuu ya Tanzania (BoT), Profesa Benno Ndulu amesema hali ya ukuaji wa uchumi nchini imeendelea kuwa ya kuridhisha na kwamba wastani wa mfumuko wa bei katika miezi sita ya kwanza ya mwaka huu umeendelea kushuka hadi kufikia asilimia 5.5 Juni mwaka huu na asilimia 4.9 Agosti 2016 kutoka asilimia 6.8 iyokuwapo Desemba 2015.

Aidha, amesema kupotea kwa fedha kunatokana na Serikali ya Awamu ya Tano kudhibiti makusanyo ya kodi, kuziba mianya mbalimbali ya upotevu wa fedha na kubana kazi zisizokuwa rasmi ‘misheni town’ na fedha hizo kuelekezwa kusaidia umma badala ya kwenda kwa wachache wanaojipatia isivyo halali.

Pia amesisitiza kuwa hakuna mdororo wa uchumi kwa kuwa ipo miradi mikubwa ya viwanda na miundombinu inayoendelea na inayotarajiwa kuanza kazi siku za usoni ambayo itachangia katika kuimarika kwa uchumi; hivyo kuweka takwimu sahihi tofauti na madai ya baadhi ya wanasiasa wa upinzani kuwa kuna mdororo wa uchumi.

Profesa Ndulu akitoa taarifa kuhusu hali ya uchumi wa Tanzania jana jijini Dar es Salaam, alisema katika robo ya kwanza ya mwaka 2016 ukuaji wa Pato la Taifa ulikadiriwa kuongezeka kwa asilimia 5.5 ikilinganishwa na asilimia 5.7 kipindi kama hicho mwaka jana.

Kadhalika alisema wastani wa mfumuko wa bei katika miezi sita ya kwanza ya mwaka 2016 umeendelea kuwa mzuri, ukiendelea kushuka hadi kufikia asilimia 5.5 Juni mwaka huu na asilimia 4.9 Agosti 2016 kutoka asilimia 6.8 Desemba mwaka jana.

Kuhusu hali ya ukuaji wa uchumi, alisema zipo shughuli mbalimbali zilizochangia ukuaji huo wa uchumi kwa kiasi kikubwa ikiwamo kilimo asilimia 11.7, biashara asilimia 10.6, uchukuzi asilimia 10.1, sekta ya fedha asilimia 10.1 na mawasiliano asilimia 10.0, sekta ya fedha asilimia 13.5, mawasiliano asilimia 13.4 na utawala wa umma asilimia 10.2.

Matazamio ya ukuaji wa uchumi 2016 Profesa Ndulu alisema kwa kuangalia viashiria mbalimbali inaonekana kuwa hali ya uchumi nchini itaendelea kuimarika katika mwaka 2016 na kuwa asilimia 7.2.

Alivitaja viashiria hivyo kuwa katika uzalishaji wa umeme, uzalishaji wa saruji, uzalishaji wa malighafi za viwandani, mauzo ya bidhaa za viwanda nje ya nchi, makusanyo ya kodi na mikopo itolewayo na mabenki ya biashara.

Alisisitiza kuwa hakuna mdororo wa uchumi kwa kuwa ipo miradi mikubwa ya viwanda na miundombinu inayoendelea na inayotarajiwa kuanza kazi siku za usoni ambayo itachangia katika kuimarika kwa uchumi.

Aliitaja baadhi ya miradi hiyo kuwa ni pamoja na ujenzi wa reli ya kati kwa kiwango cha kisasa, ujenzi wa bomba la mafuta la Uganda ambalo litahusu vilevile upanuzi wa bandari ya Tanga, ujenzi wa eneo la kibiashara Kurasini itakayokuwa mhimili wa biashara kati ya China na ukanda wa Afrika.

Alisema miradi mingine ni ule wa kuzalisha megawati 240 za umeme wa Kinyerezi II, kupanua viwanja vya ndege nchini, ujenzi wa maghala ya Taifa ya kuhifadhi chakula yenye uwezo wa kuhifadhi tani 350, ujenzi wa kiwanda cha kuzalisha saruji cha Dangote na ujenzi wa kiwanda cha kutengeneza marumaru Mkuranga mkoani Pwani.

Miradi mingine ni ujenzi wa kiwanda cha kuzalisha mbolea mkoani Lindi na kiwanda cha bidhaa za chuma mkoani Pwani ambacho kiko mbioni kukamilika. Alisema kwa miradi yote hiyo ni dhahiri kuwa hali ya uchumi nchini ni nzuri na inatoa matumaini makubwa kwamba shughuli halali za kiuchumi zinaendelea kama ilivyotarajiwa hapo awali.

Alisema lengo la ukuaji wa Pato la Taifa ni asilimia 7.2 kwa mwaka huu, na litafanikiwa, ambapo inachangiwa na ukweli kwamba Serikali ya Awamu ya Tano imejipanga katika kuimarisha uchumi endelevu usiokuwa na mianya ya rushwa, usimamizi thabiti wa rasilimali za umma, ujenzi wa miundombinu bora kwa lengo la kujenga uchumi wa viwanda chini ya mpango wa maendeleo wa miaka mitano. Mwenendo wa mfumuko wa bei Mchumi huyo alisema kushuka kwa mfumuko wa bei kwa wastani kulichangiwa zaidi na bei zisizojumuisha bei za vyakula na nishati zikifuatiwa na zile za nishati na mafuta.

Alisema wastani wa mfumuko wa bei usiojumuisha bei za vyakula na nishati ambao ni kiashiria sahihi zaidi cha utekelezaji wa sera ya fedha, umeendelea kubaki katika viwango vya chini yaani,wastani wa asilimia 2.8 katika miezi sita ya mwanzo ya mwaka huu.

Alisema hali hiyo inatokana na hatua mbalimbali thabiti zilizochukuliwa za sera ya fedha na bajeti katika kudhibiti ujazi wa fedha na ukwasi katika uchumi.

Hata hivyo, alisema mfumuko wa bei utaendelea kubakia katika viwango vya tarakimu moja katika siku zijazo na kufikia lengo la muda wa kati ya asilimia tano ikitokana na matarajio ya hali nzuri ya hewa itakayochangia kupungua kwa kasi ya kuongezeka kwa bei za vyakula.

Kadhalika, alisema pamoja na ongezeko dogo la bei ya mafuta nchini inayotokana na mwenendo wa bei katika soko la dunia, utulivu wa thamani ya Shilingi, mwendelezo wa sera thabiti ya fedha, usimamizi mzuri wa mapato ya serikali na upatikanaji wa umeme utokanao na gesi utasaidia kupunguza gharama za uzalishaji viwandani.

Alisema hata hivyo, ni muhimu kuzingatia kuwa upungufu wa mavuno ya mazao ya chakula uliojitokeza kwa baadhi ya nchi za ukanda wa kusini mwa Afrika unaweza kusababisha shinikizo la mfumuko wa bei katika siku za usoni. Deni la Taifa Alisema kasi ya uongezekaji wa deni imepungua kwa sababu ukopaji nje ya nchi katika masoko ya kibiashara umepungua.

Hata hivyo, alisema deni la nje liliongezeka kwa asilimia 2.6 na kufikia Dola za Marekani milioni 16,281 Juni mwaka huu sawa na asilimia 77.8 ya deni la taifa kutoka Dola za Marekani milioni 15,864 Desemba mwaka jana.

Alisema kuongezeka kwa deni hilo kulitokana na kuongezeka kwa mikopo mipya pamoja na malimbikizo ya malipo ya madeni, ambapo katika deni hilo la nje, asilimia 83.4 ni deni la serikali na taasisi za umma.

Alisema pamoja na ongezeko hilo, takwimu zinaonesha kuwa deni hilo bado ni stahimivu kwani deni la nje kwa thamani ya sasa ni karibu ya asilimia 20 ya Pato la Taifa, ikilinganishwa na ukomo wa asilimia 50 ya Pato la Taifa kutoka vigezo vya kimataifa, hali hiyo ikionesha bado kuna nafasi kubwa ya kukopa bila kuhatarisha ustahimivu wa deni hilo.

Akiba ya fedha za kigeni Alisema hazina ya fedha za kigeni imeendelea kuwa ya kuridhisha na kuendelea kukidhi mahitaji ya fedha za kigeni kwa ajili ya kuagiza bidhaa na huduma nje ya nchi ikiwa ni pamoja na kuongeza imani kwa wawekezaji katika uchumi wa Tanzania.

Alisema japokuwa kumekuwepo na ucheleweshwaji wa fedha za wahisani na mikopo ya kibiashara kutoka nje ya nchi, hadi Juni 2016 akiba ya fedha za kigeni ilifikia dola za Marekani milioni 3,870.3 ambazo zinatosheleza kuangiza bidhaa na huduma kutoka nje ya nchi kwa takriban miezi minne.

Kadhalika alisema rasilimali za fedha za kigeni za mabenki zilikuwa kiasi cha dola za Mmarekani milioni 835.0.

Uliiona Hii Ya Kisiwa Kinachotembea Huko Uganda? ?

A piece of land has broken off Uganda's mainland and has been floating around Lake Victoria for close to four months.

The Artists who have set up home there explains the reality:

As we approach the island, the first thing that stands out is the Ugandan flag on an improvised pole high above the greenery.

Resident Labatin Mwiima says the flag pole acts as a reference point, by which to judge how far the 20-acre island has moved.

"You wake up in the morning and see different scenery. One evening we went to sleep at Port-bell Landing site, and we woke up in Ggaba," he says.

The two landing sites are about 20 minutes apart by boat.

While this has not been independently verified, the island is said to have been seen from at least three landing sites near the capital, Kampala.

Mr Mwiima says a friend lured him to come to the island. He is a reggae musician and finds the environment relaxing and good for creativity.

It is not clear whether by coincidence or design, but all 10 of the island's occupants are artists.

Ali Katongole, a painter, says he was drawn to the island because of its simple lifestyle, away from the hustle and bustle of a big city like Kampala.

Fittingly, it is called Mirembe, which means peace in Luganda.

The residents are all men, living in grass-thatched huts.

Some live there permanently, while others paddle local canoes every few days to go back to their homes in Kampala.

It remains a long way from the other countries that share Lake Victoria - Tanzania and Kenya.

The residents say the idea that the island might get submerged doesn't occur to them, because you cannot actually feel it moving.

But Geoffrey Kamese from the Uganda Association of Professional Environmentalists, who has visited it, expresses caution.

"People should be careful and not continue farming on it, because the soil could become even weaker and sink in," he warns.

Neat gardens of cassava, maize, beans and even bananas share space with the natural vegetation.

The ground is soggy, and most of the crops are planted on mounds of soil, with ditches full of water running in between.

Wild birds and chickens thrive on the bounty provided by the swamp vegetation.

Mr Kamese has a theory as to how it came to be floating: There could have been water beneath the land before, and due to heavy rains, the roots of plants gave way and the patch of land floated away.

"It is possible that due to the changes happening in our weather, the amount of water in the lake increased and the soil became loose," he says.

The National Environment Management Authority say people are risking their lives and has warned people to stay off the island

And the islanders say they are ready to go wherever the waves carry them.

Watanzania wengi wapo gerezani Afrika Kusini kwa ‘unga'

WAZIRI wa Mambo ya Nchi za Nje na Ushirikiano wa Afrika Mashariki, Balozi Augustine Mahiga amesema Watanzania wengi wanashikiliwa katika magereza ya Afrika Kusini kwa makosa ya kujishughulisha na biashara ya dawa za kulevya.

Alisema hayo wakati akifafanua suala la Watanzania wanaoishi nje ya nchi, hasa vijana na kusema wamekuwa wakijishughulisha na uuzaji dawa za kulevya badala ya kuwa raia wema.

Aliwataka kuacha kujishughulisha na mambo yanayoweza kuwaweka kwenye wakati mbaya na kutii sheria za nchi waliko.

Alisema Watanzania wengi waliopo Afrika Kusini wanafanya kazi ya kusafirisha dawa za kulevya na wengine wanasubiri ‘kuzamia meli’ mjini Durban.

Alisema suala hilo ni moja ya mambo ambayo yamekuwa yakijadiliwa na Serikali ya Afrika Kusini ambapo Tanzania imejulishwa tatizo hilo na Wizara ya Mambo ya Nchi za Nje ya Afrika Kusini pamoja na Rais Jacob Zuma.

“Ni kweli lipo tatizo kubwa la Watanzania waliopo Afrika ya Kusini kujishughulisha na biashara ya dawa za kulevya. Serikali ya Afrika Kusini imetujulisha jambo hilo nasi tunalishughulikia kuiepusha nchi kuwa na uhusiano mbaya wa kidiplomasia na nchi nyingine.

Watoto 1, 20,000 wamefariki Afrika kwa dawa bandia

Zaidi ya watoto laki moja na elfu 20 wamepoteza maisha barani Afrika kwa kutumia madawa bandia. Watoto hao walipoteza maisha ndani ya kipindi cha mwaka 2013, kwa kutumia dawa hizo bandia katika nchi za Afrika. Inaelezwa kuwa asilimia 30 ya wahanga hao walikumbwa na maradhi ambayo yanaweza kutibika. Kukosekana Rasilimali Watu (HR), vituo duni vya afya na kupanda kwa bei ya madawa ni miongoni mwa mambo yaliyosababisha vifo vya watoto hao. Weledi wa mambo wametaja sababu nyingine ya tatizo hilo kuwa ni kukosekana usimamizi mzuri wa serikali za nchi za bara hilo katika kufuatilia madawa bandia na yale ya asili, suala ambalo limetoa mwanya wa kuongezeka kwa soko la madawa hayo.
Bara la Afrika linatajwa kuwa soko zuri kwa ajili ya kuendeshea bidhaa ya madawa bandia suala ambalo limepelekea kuongezeka vifo vya watu hususan watoto wadogo barani humo.

Ulevi Noma!! Binti amwaga radhi hadharani baaada ya kuzidisha Pombe

POMBE si chai! Binti mrembo mwenye asili ya Kiarabu ambaye jina halikupatikana mara moja, amejikuta akifanya vioja baada ya kulewa chakari na kusababisha midume kumtolea udenda, Ijumaa Wikienda lilimpiga chabo.
Tukio hilo la aibu lilijiri kwenye onesho la Kundi la Mashauzi Classic ndani ya Ukumbi wa Mango Garden, Kinondoni jijini Dar ambapo lilikuwa likitambulisha albam yake mpya ya Sura Surambi, Sura Siyo Roho.
Awali binti huyo alionekana ukumbini humo akiwa mpole na mwenye sura ya soni huku akipata kilaji polepole kabla ya kumkolea na kuwa staa wa kubinuka kihasarahasara na kumwaga ‘lazi’ mbele ya kadamnasi huku akiacha sehemu ya maungo yake nyeti kweupe.

“Jamani pombe mwanaharamu. Muone yule binti wa Kiarabu, kaja mpole lakini hebu ona vituko utadhani kuna skruu imefunguka kichwani,” alisema mmoja wa mashuhuda.Katika hali iliyoonekana kuzidi kuelemewa na kilaji, binti huyo alianza kuwavaa wanamuziki stejini na kuwakumbatia kisha kuinua mguu na kurusha mateke ya kinyumenyume kama mwanasoka, Cristino Ronaldo wa Real Madrid.

Vioja vya binti huyo havikuishia hapo kwani aliwavaa wanaume na kuwakatikia vilivyo. Wakati tukio hilo likiendelea, jamaa mmoja alimfuata akidai ni mkewe ambapo alimfokea mwanahabari wetu akimtisha kwamba endapo akiziona picha gazetini atamfanya lolote akafie jela Segerea.

Ukosefu wa makazi unachochea hatari ya kupata magonjwa ya akili

Iwapo unaishi ndani ya nyumba yenye ua mzuri, kuta, paa na vitanda vizuri lakini bado unapata maradhi, je? Wanaishije wale waliokosa makazi kabisa?

Wale ambao wanalala katika vibaraza, shuka zao ni maboksi, wanakula kwenye majaa na wanakunywa maji yoyote wanayoyapata na kujisaidia popote.

Ripoti ya Shirika la Afya Duniani (WHO) inaonyesha kuwa ukosefu wa makazi unasababisha maradhi  hasa ya kuambukiza kama kifua kikuu, nimonia, kuhara na ukimwi   kutokana na mazingira duni. Si hivyo tu, bali watu wasio na  makazi hukosa huduma za afya hivyo kuhifadhi mzigo wa maradhi.

 Watu wasio na makazi pia wapo hatarini zaidi kupata magonjwa ya akili.  Utafiti wa mwaka 2010 uliochapishwa katika Jarida la Development Southern Africa, ulibaini kuwa asilimia 50 ya watu wasio na makazi wanaugua magonjwa ya akili.

Kwa mfano, Noah Mjengwa anayeishi katika mitaa na kulala katika vibaraza vya Kariakoo anasema alitoka mkoani Mbeya na kuja Dar es Salaam kutafuta maisha, lakini amekutana na ugumu zaidi wa maisha uliomfanya aishi kama kunguru.

“Nilidhani itakuwa rahisi kupata riziki lakini kumbe nilikutana na ugumu wa kuzimudu gharama za maisha, kila kitu nanunua,”anasema

Mjengwa akiwa amejikunyata kwa kuweka mikono ndani ya fulana yake kuukuu, anasema  hana anuani maalumu ya pale anapoishi.  Nyakati za mchana atatembea, huku na kule akibahatisha mtu wa kumbebea mzigo. Usiku unapofika atatafuta kibaraza na kulala juu ya maboksi na wakati mwingine chini. Mbu huwa ni chakula chake cha usiku na baridi inamkomesha pia.

Huku mdomo wake ukionyesha dhahiri kubadilika rangi na kuwa mweusi kutokana na uvutaji wa sigara, Mjengwa anaendelea kuvuta kipisi cha sigara ambacho kimerushwa na mwanaume aliyepita barabarani hapo dakika chache zilizopita.

Tabia hizi ndizo zinazomfanya Mjengwa kuwa katika hatari ya kupata maradhi kama ya Kifua Kikuu. “zamani nilikuwa sivuti wala situmii kilevi cha aina yoyote, lakini tangu nianze maisha haya mapya huku Kariakoo nimejifunza kuvuta. Ni lazima nipate kitu cha kunichangamsha,” anasema.

Utafiti wa hivi karibuni uliofanywa na Chuo Kikuu cha Johannesburg, umeonyesha kuwa ukosefu wa makazi na magonjwa ya akili vinahusiana. Watafiti hao walibaini kuwa ingawa magonjwa ya akili yanasababisha na kuchangia mtu kukosa makazi, lakini kuishi mitaani kunachangia kwa kiasi kikubwa kupata maradhi.

WHO ilifanya utafiti  katika nchi zinazoendelea  na ilibainika kuwa asilimia 45 ya watoto na 48 ya watu wazima  wanaoishi mitaani, walipata msongo wa mawazo uliochangia asilimia tatu ya watu hao kupata magonjwa ya akili.

Wataalamu wa afya wanasema kuwa mtu anapokosa makazi  hawezi kuzingatia mlo kamili, chakula kisafi au hata kuandaa chakula katika hali ya usalama. Hiki ndicho kinachochoea zaidi watu wasio na makazi kupata maradhi

Mtaalamu wa Afya ya Mazingira, Mtwara, Dk Henricko Makibisa, anasema  hata inapotoea mafuriko watu wakakosa makazi, ni rahisi zaidi  magonjwa ya mlipuko kama kuhara na malaria vikalipuka pia.

“Ukosefu wa makazi ni chanzo cha magonjwa kama malaria. Unakuwa chakula cha mbu kwa sababu huna neti, unapata wapi maji yaliyochemshwa na unakula wapi chakula salama?” anahoji Dk Makibisa.

Nakutana tena na mtoto wa miaka 13 anayejitambulisha kwa jina la Suma Lee. Yeye anaishi  ndani ya eneo la kibiashara la Kariakoo, mtaa wa Swahili ndipo malazi yake yalipo.

“Naweza kukaa hata siku mbili sijaoga kwa sababu kuoga hadi nilipie Sh300. Lakini  siku nikiombaomba na kupata pesa, naenda kuoga kwenye bafu la kulipia au Mto Msimbazi,” anasema

Hali hiki ndicho chanzo cha maradhi, kwani wataalamu wa afya katika Jarida la Modern Health la Afrika Kusini wanasema kuwa  kuoga ni dawa inayowezesha kustarehesha misuli, kupunguza maumivu ya kichwa, kupunguza maumivu ya tumbo la hedhi, kuondoa sumu mwilini na kusawazisha mfumo wa tezi za limfu.

Hivyo, mtu asipooga anahifadhi msongo wa mawazo, maumivu na sumu  mwilini. Mtu huyo akiendelea kuishi bila kuliona bafu kwa siku nyingi si ajabu akapata homa kali au hata uchovu uliokithiri.

 Msongo wa mawazo nao unatajwa kusababisha magonjwa ya akili kwa asilimia kubwa kwa wale wasio kuwa na makazi.

Lakini  ukosefu wa makazi, tatizo linalowakabili watoto wengi, huchangia kujiingiza katika makundi mabaya ambako hujifunza uvutaji wa sigara,  bangi na hata pombe.

 Kama ilivyo kwa Suma Lee ambaye akiwa na miaka 12 tu, tayari ameshaanza kuvuta petroli ambayo anadai inamsaidia kupata  faraja na kumchangamsha.

Chuo Kikuu cha Kwa Zulu Natal kilifanya utafiti mwingine mwaka 2012 na kugundua kuwa watu wasio na makazi ni rahisi kufanyiwa ukatili.

Kama ilivyo kwa watu wenye ulemavu,  aghalabu huwa maskini  hali kadhalika ni rahisi kwa mtu asiye na kipato na aliyekosa makazi kupata magonjwa na kunyanyaswa.
