Rest in peace to all the brothers and sisters who lost their lives, actually they didn’t lose their lives their lives were taken. Their sacrifice and blood will not go unanswered and will not be in vain, eventually their courage will forever demand justice 🙏🏾

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISTER PRESIDENT

𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗸𝗮𝗽𝗮: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝘇𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝘇𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮'𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆

Exactly 85 years ago today, Benjamin Mkapa, Tanzania's third president, was born in Lupaso village, southern Tanzania

He was elected President in 1995 after the country restored multiparty politics and became the first-ever presidential candidate to date from the ruling CCM party to agree to participate in a presidential debate with opposition candidates

He helped to nurture democracy throughout his 10-year presidency, while strengthening government institutions and modernising the economy

Here's how Tanzania's GDP fared under Mkapa compared to Kenya, it's rival economic powerhouse in East Africa:

✅ In 1995, when Mkapa became president, Tanzania was just a $5 billion economy, while Kenya was twice as large as a $9 billion economy

✅ By the end of Mkapa's first term in office in 2000, he almost tripled the size of Tanzania's economy to $13.3 billion, overtaking Kenya ($12.7 billion)

✅ As Mkapa left office in 2005 at the end of his second and final term in office, Tanzania was a $18.4 billion economy, at par with Kenya's GDP ($18.7 billion)

Under his successors, the size of Tanzania's GDP has not grown as fast as the speed recorded during Mkapa's administration

As a result, by 2022, the size of Tanzania's economy was $75.7 billion, significantly behind Kenya's economy at $113.4 billion

* Mkapa died in 2020 at the age of 81

There are no words to fully express our condemnation of Israel's bombing of a #Gaza hospital today, killing hundreds of people. Targeting a hospital, considered a safe haven under International Humanitarian Law, is a war crime. The International Community must act now.

They were Presidents William Tolbert of Liberia, Siaka Stevens of Sierra Leone, and General Yakubu Gowon of Nigeria.
They argued that it was in the best interests of African dignity, and Africa’s image abroad, that the body be returned to Ghana. Nkrumah’s body was eventually released by Toure and buried in Ghana.
As Afrikans, we have a distasteful propensity of betraying our most devoted patriots.

Sadly, same Betrayal continues or continued to happen to Sankara, Lumumba, Hani, Tiro, Biko, Zuma, Cabral, Dedan Kimathi and countless other sons of Afrika. And we regret the aftermath.

[Zitto MwamiRuyagwa Kabwe @zittokabwe]

Nimekaa Bungeni Miaka 15, sikumbuki hata mara moja Serikali kutaka ridhaa ya Bunge kuingia mikataba ya kiBiashara. Mara zote Serikali ilisaini mikataba Juu kwa Juu bila kuzingatia masharti ya Ibara ya 63 (3) (e) ya Katiba ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, 1977. Nimemsikia Waziri wa Nishati akitamka kuwa Mkataba wa LNG Lindi (HGA) utajadiliwa na Baraza la Mawaziri na kisha kuidhinishwa na Bunge. Sasa naona mjadala kuhusu mkataba wa uendeshaji (operatorship) wa Bandari za Tanzania kwamba Bunge linaombwa kwanza ruhusa. Ni hatua kubwa. Miaka yetu tukiwa Bungeni tulikuwa tunasikia tu mikataba inasainiwa mahotelini kwa Siri.

Chama chetu kinafanya uchambuzi wa kina wa Azimio linalopendekezwa na Serikali kwa Bunge na vile vile ‘framework agreement’ kati ya Serikali ya Tanzania na Serikali ya Dubai ili kuiruhusu Serikali kuanza majadiliano na Kampuni inayomilikiwa na Serikali ya Dubai ya DP world kuendesha sehemu ya Bandari zetu na kuwekeza katika Sekta ndogo hiyo ya Bandari.

Kwa kuzingatia Sera za Chama chetu kuhusu uendeshaji wa miundombinu Msingi kama Bandari, tutatoa kauli Rasmi siku ya Jumapili katika Mkutano wetu wa Hadhara jijini Mwanza. Hata hivyo, Waziri Kivuli wa Uchukuzi Mwalimu Philbert Macheyeki atatoa kauli ya awali kabla ya Bunge kuanza kujadili Azimio hilo ili kuhakikisha kuwa maslahi mapana ya Taifa yanazingatiwa.
