OFISI YA BUNGE YATOA TAARIFA JUU YA HABARI ILIYOCHAPISHWA NA GAZETI LA DIRA YA MTANZANIA…



YAH: TAARIFA POTOFU YA GAZETI LA DIRA YA MTANZANIA TOLEO LA JUMATATU, 20 – 26 JUNI, 2011 ‘ SAKATA LA POSHO ZA WABUNGE’ SPIKA MAKINDA MBUMBUMBU ‘Utafiti wabaini anasimamia asichokijua magwiji wa Bunge washangaa tamko lake’.

1.0UTANGULIZI

Pamoja na Vichwa vya habari hiyo, Katika taarifa hiyo Mwandishi wa gazeti hilo amedai kuwa;
i.Spika wa Bunge, Anne Makinda hana uelewa wa kutosha wa jinsi mbunge anavyoweza kupoteza wadhifa wake
ii.Pia Spika wa Bunge haelewi mfumo wa malipo ya Posho za Wabunge
iii.Spika hana mamlaka ya kumfukuza Mbunge yeyote anayekataa kusaini Fomu za kuchukua posho ya kikao.

2.0MAJIBU YA HOJA POTOFU ZILIZOTOLEWA
Ofisi ya Bunge ingependa kuwaarifu wananchi kwamba habari hiyo iliyoandikwa na gazeti la Dira ya Mtanzania ni ya dharau na haina ukweli wowote na imeandikwa kwa nia mbaya ya uchochezi na kuharibu sifa aliyonayo Mhe. Spika Bungeni na kwa watanzania kwa ujumla.
Ili kuondoa upotofu wa taarifa iliyotolewa na gazeti hili, Ofisi ya Bunge ingependa kutoa ufafanuzi wa hoja zilizotolewa kama ifuatavyo;

i. Sio kweli kwamba Mhe. Anne Makinda hana uelewa kuhusu uendeshaji wa shughuli za Bunge. Mhe. Makinda amekuwa mbunge kwa zaidi ya miaka 30 Bungeni na kwa kipindi hicho chote ameshika nyadhifa mbalimbali Bungeni na Serikalini. Aidha akiwa Naibu Spika ameongoza kamati ya Bunge iliyoshiriki marekebisho ya Kanuni za Kudumu za Bunge toleo la 2007.

Kwa mantiki hiyo anazifahamu vyema Kanuni za Bunge na ana uzoefu na uendeshaji wa shughuli za Bunge kwa muda mrefu kuliko hata idadi kubwa ya wabunge wapya waliopo Bungeni. Katika utendaji wake, hafanyi kazi kwa kuvutwa na hisia bali husimamia uendeshaji wa Bunge kwa Mujibu wa Kanuni za Bunge ambazo tunashaka hata kama mwandishi wa gazeti hili anazifahamu vyema.
Ni kwa kuzingatia hilo aliwaeleza bayana Waandishi wa habari siku alipofanya nao mahojiano ambapo mwandishi wa gazeti hili pia hakuwepo, kuwa taratibu la kuchukua posho kwa Mbunge huenda sanjali na kusaini mahudhurio Bungeni (Mbunge anayehudhuria Bunge ndiye anayelipwa posho), kwa maana huwezi kumlipa posho Mbunge asiyekuwepo Bungeni. Mahudhurio ya Mbunge ni pale anaposaini fomu ya Mahudhurio. Kwa mantiki hii, kanuni zinamtaka bayana kila mbunge kuhudhuria vikao vya Bunge.

Kanuni ya 143 inatamka kuwa:
(1) kuhudhuria vikao vya Bunge na kamati ni wajibu wa kwanza wa kila mbunge.
(2) Mbunge yeyote atakaeshindwa kuhudhuria mikutano ya Bunge mitatu mfululizo bila ruhusa ya Spika iliyotolewa kwa maandishi, atapoteza Ubunge wake kwa mujibu wa ibara ya 71 (1) ya katiba na Spika ataiarifu Tume ya Uchaguzi.

(3) Mbunge atakapokosa kuhudhuria nusu ya vikao vya Mkutano mmoja bila ya sababu ya msingi atapewa onyo.

Hivyo basi kwa mantiki hiyo, Mbunge atakayeshindwa kusaini fomu za mahudhurio kwa mtiririko huo hapo juu atakuwa amepoteza sifa zake za kuwa Mbunge kwa mujibu wa Kanuni.
ii. Aidha ni kwa uvivu wa kufikiri au kwa makusudi kabisa, mwandishi wa gazeti hili ameandika yale aliyohisi ni sahihi na kufanya utafiti katika kiwango ambacho hajaeleza ni kwa kutumia vigezo gani bila hata kujaribu kuuliza misingi halisi aliyoizungumzia Mhe. Spika kuhusu uhalali wa mahudhurio ya Mbunge sanjali na ulipwaji wake posho awapo kazini.

Hivyo madai ya kuwa Spika hana madaraka ya kumfukuza Mbunge Bungeni hayana mantiki na wala madaraka ya Spika kuhusu kumfukuza Mbunge hayakuwa sehemu ya mahojiano na waandishi na Spika wa Bunge kama anavyodai, na Kanuni zimeeleza bayana kazi za Spika Bungeni. Kumbuka madaraka ya Spika, wajibu wa Wabunge na hata Miongozo mingine Bungeni huratibiwa kwa mujibu wa kanuni za Kudumu za Bunge.

Hatujui lengo la mwandishi ni lipi hasa kwa kuweza kutoa taarifa zenye upotoshaji mkubwa kwa umma na zenye kuleta dharau kwa kiongozi wa Bunge na Bunge kwa ujumla kwa kuzingatia kuwa kiongozi huyu amechaguliwa na Wabunge wa Bunge la Jamhuri ya Muungano.

3.0 HITIMISHO
Ofisi ya Bunge inapenda kuwaarifu wanahabari wote kuwa Idara yake ya Habari imekuwa ikitoa ushirikiano wa kutosha kuwaarifu waandishi kwa taarifa zozote wanazohitaji na inasikitishwa kwa kiasi kikubwa na uandishi unaojali hisia na wenye kulenga uchochezi badala ya kuelemisha.
Licha ya mwandishi wa habari hii kutokuwepo Dodoma na wala hakushiriki mahojiano hayo na Mhe. Spika, habari husika iliyoandikwa imelenga kutoa taarifa potofu bila kushirikisha hata upande wa pili kwa ufafanuzi. Kwa kuzingatia hilo Ofisi ya Bunge inamtaka Mhariri wa Gazeti la Dira ya Mtanzania kuomba radhi kwa uzito ule ule waliotoa habari yao ya kupotosha umma.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER Thousands of demonstrators upset with the war in Afghanistan, climate change and the erosion of union rights have raised the intensity of a march in downtown Chicago on Sunday as world leaders assembled for a NATO summit. The protest, one of the city's largest in years, turned violent at the end of an anti-NATO march, where demonstrators confronted Chicago police, pushing against a line of officers several blocks from the lakefront convention center where President Obama hosted a gathering of world leaders. Authorities were seen making arrests one by one and leading individual demonstrators away in handcuffs. After a clash near McCormick Place, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said at a news conference that the protests resulted in 45 people being arrested and four officers suffering injuries - one from a stab wound in the leg.

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts. The proliferation of non-state armed groups makes civilian protection both more urgent, and harder to achieve,” she said. For better protection of civilians in armed-conflict areas, the minister emphasised the need to increase investments in professionalising the military and police forces through adequate training. “Only when the leadership of armed forces shares the international...

Mwana muziki Marufu kwa jina la Chuck Brown Afariki Dunia Akiwa na umri wa miaka 75

View Photo Gallery — Chuck Brown dies at 75: The “godfather of go-go” has died By Chris Richards, Updated: Wednesday, May 16, 4:42 PM Chuck Brown, the gravelly voiced bandleader who capitalized on funk’s percussive pulse to create go-go, the genre of music that has soundtracked life in black Washington for more than three decades, died May 16 at the Johns Hopkins University hospital in Baltimore. He was 75. The death, from complications from sepsis, was confirmed by his manager, Tom Goldfogle. Mr. Brown had been hospitalized for pneumonia. Known as the “Godfather of Go-Go,” the performer, singer, guitarist and songwriter developed his commanding brand of funk in the mid-1970s to compete with the dominance of disco. Like a DJ blending records, Mr. Brown used nonstop percussion to stitch songs together and keep the crowd on the dance floor, resulting in marathon performances that went deep into the night. Mr. Brown said the style got its name because “the music j...
