Watendaji Moshi watiwa misukosuko

KAMATI ya Bunge ya Hesabu za Serikali, jana iliendeleza makali yake kwa kuagiza watendaji wakuu wa Halmashauri ya Wilaya ya Moshi Vijijini, kukatwa asilimia 15 ya mishahara yao.Hatua hiyo ya kamati inayoongozwa na Mbunge wa Vunjo, Agustine Mrema, inatokana na kile kichoelezwa kuwa ni kitendo cha watendaji hao, kuboronga katika kuandaa ripoti ya mapato na matumizi ya fedha za miradi. Juzi kamati hiyo, iliamuru watendaji 12 wa Halmashauri ya Wilaya ya Rombo, wasimamishwe kazi na baadaye wakamatwe,kwa tuhuma za kuhusika na  upotevu wa mamilioni ya fedha.Watendaji walioamriwa kukatwa mishahara yao katika Halmashauri ya Wilaya ya Moshi Vijijini, ni pamoja na Mkurugenzi mtendaji, Annah Mwahalende. Wengine ni Mtunza Hazina wa halmashauri, Evance Semdoe, wakuu wa idara na maofisa wanaosimamia miradi ya maendeleo.Adhabu kama hiyo ilitolewa Jumatatu wiki hii, kwa watendaji wa Halmashauri ya Wilaya ya Same, akiwamo mkurugenzi wake, Joseph Mkude. Watendaji hao pia walituhumiwa kuboronga kazi ya kuandaa ripoti.Akitoa uamuzi huo,Makamu Mwenyekiti wa kamati hiyo, Idd Azzan, alielezea masikitiko ya kamati kuhusu ubovu uliojitokeza katika kuandaa na kuwasilisha ripoti ya halmashauri. Kwa sasa halmashauri hiyo, imetakiwa kuandaa upya ripoti yae na kuiwasilisha ifikapo Aprili 11 mwaka huu.Imeamriwa kuwa vitabu vya ripoti hiyo, vikabidhiwe katika ofisi ya Mdhibiti na Mkaguzi Mkuu wa Hesabu za Serikali. Kamati hiyo pia imemwagiza Mkurugenzi wa halmashauri hiyo, kuwaonya watumishi wa chini yake kwa njia ya maandishi.Lakini wakati ikimtaka mkurugenzi afanye hiyo, nayo imeazimia  kuishauri mamlaka ya nidhamu ya mkurugenzi huyo, imuonye kwa njia kama hiyo. Mkaguzi wa Kanda, Kihuti Asaria, alielezea kusikitishwa kwake juu ya taifa kutumia mabilioni ya fedha kuwalipa watumishi mishahara na kuwasomesha, lakini wanashindwa kuandika ripoti sahihi. Mmoja wa wajumbe wa kamati hiyo,Joseph Selasini, alisema ni jambo la kusikitisha kuona halmashauri hiyo inaboronga katika kuandaa ripoti, wakati ikiwa na wasomi wenye shahada na shahada za juu.

Injured Mgosi might miss TP Mazembe tie

Dar es Salaam. Simba prolific striker Mussa Hassan  'Mgosi' faces a lengthy layoff after sustaining a hamstring injury, which might rule him out of the African Champions League first leg match against TP Mazembe of DR Congo.

The speedy attacker picked the injury during a Premier League clash pitting the Msimbazi Street outfit against Ruvu Shooting on Wednesday.Apart from the TP Mazembe encounter, Simba will also miss the services of their diminutive, but lethal marksman when they clash with AFC at Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium tomorrow.

Team head coach Patrick Phiri said it was a big blow to be without Mgosi in tomorrow’s match, but was confident his team would clobber the relegation-haunted opponents “I think he damaged his ligaments and that take long to heal, but let us wait and see how quick he can recover,” the Zambian tactician said.

Hamstring injuries always take a month or so to heal.Phiri said: “Mgosi is definitely ruled out of the AFC match, but that will not prevent us from winning simply because we’ve many quality strikers to deputise. “Shiboli (Ahmed) is settling really well, he scored a good goal against Ruvu Shooting, so we’ve high hopes of bagging the three points at stake,” the coach added.

The Zambian said they were keeping their fingers crossed for Mgosi to shake off the injury in time to face the two-time African champions come March 20. “It will be bad news for us to miss him when we confront the Congolese team. Let’s hope that he will recover before the match day,” he said.Speaking to The Citizen yesterday, Mgosi said he was saddened by the injury, which might keep him out of action for a long time.

“Definitely I will not play on Saturday (tomorrow) against AFC…I want to be involved in all league matches, but injuries keep on recurring.“I hate watching the match from the stands, but there is no way out now, it will take some time before I regain my fitness,” he said. Mgosi, who scored an equaliser against Young Africans, harboured hopes of shaking off the hamstring problem in time to face TP Mazembe.

“Hopefully I will be fit enough to play, but it will depend on what my physician will say.”Other Simba players who are on the treatment table include: Abdulhalim Humud, Hillary Echessa and Joseph Owino. The Msimbazi Reds would depart for Lubumbashi next Sunday ahead of their clash with TP Mazembe.

After leading this speech written by Rupert Murdoch, I have seen many things which happen in the media industry in the World as well as in Tanzania. That when there is a new technology many people left behind simply because, these technologies are fast writing newsprint’s obituary so there is many media user including journalists themselves are remarkably, unaccountably complacent.

So in order the new technology to work effectively they should provide training to the journalists wherever they are so as to improve their knowledge on how to go with that new technology, these is due to the challenges that faces digital immigrants whom of them they are in the positions to determine how news is assembled and disseminated so as they can apply to digital mindset.
