Tanzania opposition criticize the Govt on Mwana Halisi ban


The government decision of banning Mwana Halisi, Swahili Weekly Newspaper has been questioned by the Head of Opposition Camp in the Assembly this morning.

Official Opposition Camp Head and CHADEMA Chairman, Freeman Mbowe.
The Official Opposition Camp Leader, Mr Freeman Aikaeli Mbowe wanted to know from the Prime Minister in a session of ‘Questions to the PM’ this morning, why the government decided to ban Mwana Halisi while in recent days (government) has been using court in all cases about it.
Mbowe asked if the government does not know that it shows the signs of bad governance for passing judgment about Mwana Halisi without involving the important governmental pillar, Judiciary.
“Hon Prime Minister, don’t you think that the government shows a bad sign to the growth of good governance in the country after banning Mwana Halisi?” asked Mbowe
Responding to the question, Prime Minister said the government uses Newspaper Act of 1976 because it is the only law which supervises print media industry and is still in use up to now.
“We use it because it was approved by this Assembly and is still in use. I think the decision taken was right.”
For a long time media stakeholders have been criticizing the government for embracing the laws such as Newspaper Act of 1976 (investing much power to the Minister) which hinder media freedom especially to investigative stories in the country.

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja.
