NEC to study Chadema claims over 'blank' BVR cards

The National Electoral Commission yesterday promised to study claims by Chama cha Demokrasia na  Maendeleo (Chadema) that over two million blank BVR cards meant to tilt results of the October General Election are in illegal circulation.
The NEC chairman (retired), Judge Damian Lubuva
The NEC chairman (retired) Judge Damian Lubuva told the Guardian yesterday in a telephone interview when reacting to allegations by Chadema   that the Commission in collaboration with Chama Cha Mapinduzi  (CCM) were all out  to temper with October election results.
Lubava said the Commission could not work on rumours and that it s waiting for Chadema to submit official complaints.
 “If the party has details on the matter it should bring them to us and then we will work on them immediately instead of going to the media,” Lubuva said. 
“The Commission is fulfilling its obligations without any pressure from any political party or government. I have no enough details on this matter unless I receive official complaints from Chadema and we will work on them and announce our findings,” he added.
He however assured the public that there will be no vote rigging in the coming elections because NEC is fulfilling its obligations by abiding by the laws.
Speaking to the media yesterday in Dar es Salaam chairperson of Chadema Women Wing Halima Mdee accused NEC of being used by CCM to tamper  with votes counting.
She said that over two million voters’ cards have been produced despite the fact that the process has been concluded in order to steal votes in the coming General Election.
According to her an informant from NEC had communicated the information to Chadema after uncovering the plot by CCM and NEC to rig the elections.
She said CCM had organised particular people who move from house to house bribing people so that they can provide their personal details available in their voter cards so that they can reproduce them.  
 “I call upon people not to sell their votes by any means…I urge you to ignore such people who come to”, said Mdee.
  She also called upon NEC to be serious with the verification process because up to now there was a likelihood that many people will not verify their information.
“Voter verification in Dar es Salaam is also a problem which NEC to solve it once and for all…we want people to verify their names at the centres where they registered and not at wards as the Commission had announced so as to enable every one to verify the information,” she added.
For his part, Saed Kubenea, Ubungo constituency aspirant on Chadema ticket said that the party had in hand 150 such  voters cards. 
He said NEC has been fabricating election results for several years but in this year it will not succeed because the people themselves are tired.
“You know people’s awareness had increased as they were now tired of hard times and they are now ready   for  change in the coming General Election,” he said.
Over the weekend the Guardian on Sunday had reliably established that Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) System has been put into serious question with only two months ahead of the October General Election  as it failed to detect voters who registered more than once, contrary to reassurance by the National Electoral Commission (NEC). 
It established that some individuals may have registered themselves more than once under BVR devoid of detection by the reputed high security system.  
At issue is the unraveling of two BVR cards belonging to a voter identified as Samwel S Choggo, courtesy of an individual who preferred anonymity but had an access to the system’s underworld. 
According to the details in the cards, Choggo who was born on January 1, 1991 registered himself at Dovya Street, Bunju Ward in Dar es Salaam Region where he was issued voter’s card No.T-1000-0906-706-4. 
But a person of the same name born on the same date, with a rather twisted snapshot pose and in a different shirt holds voter’s card No.T-1003-5915-554-3 registered at Miswe Chini Street, Mbwawa Ward.
Contacted, NEC’s Director of Election Kailima Kombwey said voters will now use the old voting system using BVR cards, and that there wouldn’t be any computer or BVR machines to trace their verification.

Govt seeks media support for sexual, reproductive health

The mass media must be the core partner in advocating rights of sexual and reproductive health if the fight against children’s and maternal related deaths in Tanzania should be intensified.
 
This was said recently by the National Coordinator for Safe Motherhood, Dr KohelethWinani, at the launch of the Media Network for Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (Tamenet-SRHR).  
 
He emphasized: “The war against infant and maternal death must involve many stakeholders; so the media must use their profession and convey to communities correct information about safe sex and reproductive health.” 
 
He said Tanzania can contain most maternal related deaths if the right information on best ways to handle the problem is disseminated.
Dr Winani was representing the permanent secretary in Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Dr Donald Mmbando, at the occasion.
 
For his part, the network’s acting chairperson, Hussein Siyovelwa, said media coverage of sexual and reproductive health rights was crucial in achieving national development goals. Yet journalists covering them often face significant challenges, he lamented.
 
He said 25 journalists made the decision to form the network in 2013. This was after undergoing intensive training provided by an organization known as Tanzania Men as Equal Partners (TMEP) that works under a Swedish organization called RFSU. 
 
He said: “After the launch of the network we hoped to reduce challenges in reporting on the subject. We also hoped that we would be able to speak and educate the public on issues concerning sexual reproductive health rights.”
 
Tanzania has achieved the WHO target of reducing the child mortality rate to 54 in every 1,000 live births. But, despite the number of deaths plummeting from 520 to 432 in every 100,000 live births, the target is to reach 193 deaths in every 100,000 live births

Business community planning 'dialogue' for presidential candidates

The Tanzania business community plans to conduct a dialogue that will bring together all the presidential candidates in the forth coming General Election , the group chairman Johnson Minja said here last Saturday.
 
Johnson Minja
Minja who led the group in protest against the government’s recently introduced Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs) several months ago, however was quick to affirm that they werenot behind any presidential aspirants.

 
“All we want is for the candidates to candidly explain what they can do to improve the business environment and to change lives of ordinary Tanzanians” he said, adding that the date for the dialogue will announced later.
 
Speaking during a one- day annual meeting of the business community in Dodoma last Thursday evening, Minja warned that members of the group shall not vote for any candidate who will fail to attend the dialogue.
 
He said any presidential aspirant who fails to participate in the dialogue shall have approved to them that he or she does not need their votes following failure to listen to them.
 
Minja who enjoys support of fellow business members clarified that the dialogue also will be attended by representatives from other groups like farmers, pastoralist and workers.
 
Unlike other dialogues, he said political parties representatives shall not be allowed to wear part colours or anything that easily identify them with any party as business members shall wear dark suits.
 
“We shall attend the dialogue without any formed opinion but shall come out of it with a decision on who to support, depending on the debate” he stated but warned those engaging in politics to stop as it is not possible to do politics and business at the same time.
 
Officiating the launch of the annual meeting on behalf of the Regional Commissioner, Dodoma District Commissioner, Dr Jasmin Tiisekwa urged the business community to shy away from united partisan politics.
 
She said the group should not be used by politician in effort to support one candidate for the state house race, saying such a move can trigger violence in the country.
 
“It would be surprising to see your group getting involved in dirty political issues instead of pushing working hard to improve your welfare” she noted.
 
The DC said just like any other Tanzanian, they have the constitutional right to vote for any candidate they think will work for their benefits and other people without interfering with the existing peace.
 
She openly reminded the business people that peace is the most fundamental factor for development of any nation and without it they cannot operate businesses.

BASTOLA YA RAY YAZUA HOFU UKUMBINI


Mwandishi Wetu
KATIKA hali ya kushangaza, muigizaji Vincent Kigosi ‘Ray’ alizua hofu ya aina yake baada ya kutinga fulana fupi iliyosababisha silaha yake aina ya bastola kuonekana na kuwafanya watu waliomzunguka kujawa na hofu.Tukio hilo la aina yake lilitokea Jumamosi iliyopita katika ufukwe wa Escape One, Mikocheni jijini Dar kulipokuwa na uzinduzi wa video ya wimbo wa Nashindwa wa mwanamuziki Christian Bella ‘King of The Best Melodies’
Muigizaji Vincent Kigosi ‘Ray’. Mwanahabari wetu aliyekuwa akikusanya matukio ukumbini humo, aliwashuhudia watu waliomzunguka Ray wakionesha hofu yao pale fulana yake ilipopanda juu na kuiacha bastola yake aliyoichomeka kwenye suruali ikionekana bila kificho ambapo zaidi walihofia mazingira ya unywaji wa pombe uliokuwepo.
“Jamani hii si hatari na ‘masanga’ haya anayogonga hapa ukimkorofisha hata kidogo tu si anaweza kukushuti bila kuwaza nini kitatokea?,” alisikika mmoja wa watu waliokuwa wamekaa jirani na msanii huyo.Baadhi ya watu hao waliokuwa jirani na Ray aliyekuwa amekaa pamoja na msanii mweziye Jacob Steven ‘JB’, walionekana wakiondoka eneo hilo kwa hofu ya usalama wao.

Mfano wa bastola ya Rey. “Hapa si salama sana ndugu zangu bora tuondoke, unaweza hata ukamkanyaga bahati mbaya akakulipua makusudi,” alisikika jamaa mwingine aliyekuwa eneo hilo. Jitihada za mwanahabari wetu kuzungumza na Ray eneo hilo hazikuweza kuzaa matunda kufuatia mazingira ya unywaji pombe uliokuwepo, lakini alipotafutwa siku iliyofuata, simu yake iliita bila kupokelewa.

The DC said just like any other Tanzanian, they have the constitutional right to vote for any candidate they think will work for their benefits and other people without interfering with the existing peace.
 
She openly reminded the business people that peace is the most fundamental factor for development of any nation and without it they cannot operate businesses.

The National Electoral Commission yesterday promised to study claims by Chama cha Demokrasia na  Maendeleo (Chadema) that over two million blank BVR cards meant to tilt results of the October General Election are in illegal circulation.
The NEC chairman (retired), Judge Damian Lubuva
The NEC chairman (retired) Judge Damian Lubuva told the Guardian yesterday in a telephone interview when reacting to allegations by Chadema   that the Commission in collaboration with Chama Cha Mapinduzi  (CCM) were all out  to temper with October election results.
Lubava said the Commission could not work on rumours and that it s waiting for Chadema to submit official complaints.
 “If the party has details on the matter it should bring them to us and then we will work on them immediately instead of going to the media,” Lubuva said. 
“The Commission is fulfilling its obligations without any pressure from any political party or government. I have no enough details on this matter unless I receive official complaints from Chadema and we will work on them and announce our findings,” he added.
He however assured the public that there will be no vote rigging in the coming elections because NEC is fulfilling its obligations by abiding by the laws.
Speaking to the media yesterday in Dar es Salaam chairperson of Chadema Women Wing Halima Mdee accused NEC of being used by CCM to tamper  with votes counting.
She said that over two million voters’ cards have been produced despite the fact that the process has been concluded in order to steal votes in the coming General Election.
According to her an informant from NEC had communicated the information to Chadema after uncovering the plot by CCM and NEC to rig the elections.
She said CCM had organised particular people who move from house to house bribing people so that they can provide their personal details available in their voter cards so that they can reproduce them.  
 “I call upon people not to sell their votes by any means…I urge you to ignore such people who come to”, said Mdee.
  She also called upon NEC to be serious with the verification process because up to now there was a likelihood that many people will not verify their information.
“Voter verification in Dar es Salaam is also a problem which NEC to solve it once and for all…we want people to verify their names at the centres where they registered and not at wards as the Commission had announced so as to enable every one to verify the information,” she added.
For his part, Saed Kubenea, Ubungo constituency aspirant on Chadema ticket said that the party had in hand 150 such  voters cards. 
He said NEC has been fabricating election results for several years but in this year it will not succeed because the people themselves are tired.
“You know people’s awareness had increased as they were now tired of hard times and they are now ready   for  change in the coming General Election,” he said.
Over the weekend the Guardian on Sunday had reliably established that Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) System has been put into serious question with only two months ahead of the October General Election  as it failed to detect voters who registered more than once, contrary to reassurance by the National Electoral Commission (NEC). 
It established that some individuals may have registered themselves more than once under BVR devoid of detection by the reputed high security system.  
At issue is the unraveling of two BVR cards belonging to a voter identified as Samwel S Choggo, courtesy of an individual who preferred anonymity but had an access to the system’s underworld. 
According to the details in the cards, Choggo who was born on January 1, 1991 registered himself at Dovya Street, Bunju Ward in Dar es Salaam Region where he was issued voter’s card No.T-1000-0906-706-4. 
But a person of the same name born on the same date, with a rather twisted snapshot pose and in a different shirt holds voter’s card No.T-1003-5915-554-3 registered at Miswe Chini Street, Mbwawa Ward.
Contacted, NEC’s Director of Election Kailima Kombwey said voters will now use the old voting system using BVR cards, and that there wouldn’t be any computer or BVR machines to trace their verification.

The mass media must be the core partner in advocating rights of sexual and reproductive health if the fight against children’s and maternal related deaths in Tanzania should be intensified.
 
This was said recently by the National Coordinator for Safe Motherhood, Dr KohelethWinani, at the launch of the Media Network for Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (Tamenet-SRHR).  
 
He emphasized: “The war against infant and maternal death must involve many stakeholders; so the media must use their profession and convey to communities correct information about safe sex and reproductive health.” 
 
He said Tanzania can contain most maternal related deaths if the right information on best ways to handle the problem is disseminated.
Dr Winani was representing the permanent secretary in Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Dr Donald Mmbando, at the occasion.
 
For his part, the network’s acting chairperson, Hussein Siyovelwa, said media coverage of sexual and reproductive health rights was crucial in achieving national development goals. Yet journalists covering them often face significant challenges, he lamented.
 
He said 25 journalists made the decision to form the network in 2013. This was after undergoing intensive training provided by an organization known as Tanzania Men as Equal Partners (TMEP) that works under a Swedish organization called RFSU. 
 
He said: “After the launch of the network we hoped to reduce challenges in reporting on the subject. We also hoped that we would be able to speak and educate the public on issues concerning sexual reproductive health rights.”
 
Tanzania has achieved the WHO target of reducing the child mortality rate to 54 in every 1,000 live births. But, despite the number of deaths plummeting from 520 to 432 in every 100,000 live births, the target is to reach 193 deaths in every 100,000 live births

The Tanzania business community plans to conduct a dialogue that will bring together all the presidential candidates in the forth coming General Election , the group chairman Johnson Minja said here last Saturday.
 
Johnson Minja
Minja who led the group in protest against the government’s recently introduced Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs) several months ago, however was quick to affirm that they werenot behind any presidential aspirants.

 
“All we want is for the candidates to candidly explain what they can do to improve the business environment and to change lives of ordinary Tanzanians” he said, adding that the date for the dialogue will announced later.
 
Speaking during a one- day annual meeting of the business community in Dodoma last Thursday evening, Minja warned that members of the group shall not vote for any candidate who will fail to attend the dialogue.
 
He said any presidential aspirant who fails to participate in the dialogue shall have approved to them that he or she does not need their votes following failure to listen to them.
 
Minja who enjoys support of fellow business members clarified that the dialogue also will be attended by representatives from other groups like farmers, pastoralist and workers.
 
Unlike other dialogues, he said political parties representatives shall not be allowed to wear part colours or anything that easily identify them with any party as business members shall wear dark suits.
 
“We shall attend the dialogue without any formed opinion but shall come out of it with a decision on who to support, depending on the debate” he stated but warned those engaging in politics to stop as it is not possible to do politics and business at the same time.
 
Officiating the launch of the annual meeting on behalf of the Regional Commissioner, Dodoma District Commissioner, Dr Jasmin Tiisekwa urged the business community to shy away from united partisan politics.
 
She said the group should not be used by politician in effort to support one candidate for the state house race, saying such a move can trigger violence in the country.
 
“It would be surprising to see your group getting involved in dirty political issues instead of pushing working hard to improve your welfare” she noted.
 
The DC said just like any other Tanzanian, they have the constitutional right to vote for any candidate they think will work for their benefits and other people without interfering with the existing peace.
