| KENYAN DAILY NATION President Kibaki has ordered the resettlement of all genuine internally displaced persons within two weeks. The Head of State directed the ministries of Finance, Special Programmes, Lands, Internal Security and Agriculture to speedily ensure land is made available for the families. “We should move with speed to resettle the IDPs who are still in camps. This matter has dragged on for too long. We must deal with it and ensure that we do not have persons still living in camps,” said President Kibaki. Need to help “We also need to help those who are going back to their land to resettle and undertake their farming. I also appeal to all communities to live peacefully and co-exist harmoniously.” Some regions, especially Western and Nyanza provinces, have been experiencing heavy rains in the last one week, which have led to the death of at least five people. The rains would have worsened the already deplorable conditions in the camps. The inevitable flooding would have caused an outbreak of water-borne diseases and destruction of the temporary structures. The Finance ministry was directed to provide the funds and that of Lands to identify arable land for the resettlement. Read more |

| NRM MPs back electoral reforms A number of MPs subscribing to the ruling NRM party are bidding to ally with opposition politicians to try and push through delayed legislations for electoral reforms. The reported consensus, partly interpreted as internal revolt, would herald a new era where legislators abandon blind party allegiance and rise to act by conscience and in national interest. In separate interviews with Saturday Monitor, the dissenters; among them vocal lawmakers Henry Banyenzaki (NRM; Rubanda) and Theodore Ssekikubo (NRM, Lwemiyaga), said they are displeased with government’s hesitation to table the NRM’s version of preferred reforms.

| MWANANCHI. NJIA mojawapo ya kumkomboa mkulima ni kuwa na hatimiliki ya ardhi ya kimila ambayo itamwezesha kukopa benki na kufanya shughuli mbalimbali za maendeleo ikiwa ni pamoja na kusomesha watoto. Wananchi wengi wana ardhi kubwa lakini hawajui thamani yake wala namna ya kuitumia na kuiendeleza hivyo kuwa katika hatari ya kupokonywa. Waathirika wakubwa wa tatizo hili ni wajane. Wengi wanasema kwamba elimu duni ya masuala ya ardhi imechangia wengi wao kuishi maisha ya shida na kuendelea kuhangaika na watoto wao bila kupata msaada wa ndugu wa waume zao ambao wamekuwa wakichukua mali pamoja na ardhi kwa madai ya kuwa wasimamizi wa watoto hao kitu ambacho si kweli. Aidha, wengi wao mara baada ya kufiwa, wamekuwa wakirudi majumbani mwao na kuanza maisha mapya kwa kusaidiwa na ndugu, jamaa na marafiki bila ya kupata urithi wowote hali ambayo imewafanya waishi maisha duni.

| Tanzania Daima MAJALIWA ya kisiasa ya wabunge wawili wa Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) mkoani hapa, sasa yamo shakani, baada ya kuanza kwa mikakati ya wazi ya kuwang’oa. Wabunge hao, Dk. Harrison Mwakyembe wa Kyela na Prof. Mark Mwandosya wa Rungwe Mashariki, tayari wamekwisha kutangaziwa hali ya hatari na Jumuiya ya Umoja wa Vijana ya CCM (UVCCM), ambayo imeanza mikakati ya wazi ya kunadi wagombea wanaotarajiwa kuchuana nao katika Uchaguzi Mkuu wa mwakani. Taarifa kutoka ndani ya umoja huo ambazo Tanzania Daima Jumatano imezipata, zinaeleza kuwa UVCCM mkoani hapa imetangaza kukataa kuitwa ‘vijana ni taifa la kesho’ na imedhamiria kuweka wagombea wake katika majimbo yote ya uchaguzi ambayo hata hivyo yanashikiliwa na wabunge wa CCM kwa sasa. Vyanzo vya habari vya kuaminika kutoka CCM mkoani Mbeya, vimeeleza kuwa, mkakati wa kuwaangusha wabunge hao unasimamiwa na kutekelezwa na UVCCM na unalenga zaidi kuhakikisha Prof. Mwandosya na Dk. Mwakyembe wanapoteza nafasi zao za ubunge mwakani. Uchunguzi wa muda mrefu wa mwenendo wa kisiasa mkoani hapa uliofanywa na gazeti hili umebaini kuwa, tayari mpinzani wa Prof. Mwandosya ameanza kupigiwa chapuo la wazi na kundi la wana- UVCCM ambao kwa siku kadhaa sasa wamekuwa katika shamrashamra za kusherehekea ushindi wa kamanda mpya wa umoja wao, Stephen Mwakajumilo, anayetajwa kuwa ndiye anayeandaliwa kuchukua nafasi ya Mwandosya mwakani.

| Historia ya Idhaa ya Kiswahili Idhaa ya Kiswahili ya Sauti ya Amerika ilikuwa Idhaa ya kwanza ya lugha ya Kiafrika kuanzisha matangazo ya moja kwa moja kupitia mitambo ya Sauti ya Amerika mjini Washington D.C. Mwezi Mei 1964 matangazo ya dakika thelathini, ambayo yalikuwa yamerekodiwa kwenye ukanda kuanzia mwaka 1962, yaligeuzwa na kufanywa kipindi kinachotangazwa moja kwa moja, kila siku kutoka Washington, kikirudiwa na kuongezewa habari mpya, mara moja kwa siku. Mwezi Mei 1966, matangazo hayo yaliongezewa dakika nyingine thelathini na kuwa matangazo ya saa moja kukiwemo muziki uliorekodiwa na vipindi mbalimbali kutokea mjini Monrovia, Liberia. Na mwaka uliofuata, 1967, Idhaa ya Kiswahili ya Sauti ya Amerika ilizindua matangazo ya moja kwa moja kutoka studio zetu hapa Washington D.C. Leo, Idhaa ya Kiswahili imo hewani kwa muda wa saa sita kwa wiki. Matangazo ya Idhaa ya Kiswahili huwafikia mamilioni ya wasikilizaji katika Afrika Mashariki na eneo la Maziwa Makuu. Kiswahili ni lugha rasmi katika nchi za Afrika mashariki na ni lugha inayopanuka nchini Congo, Rwanda na Burundi. Kiswahili vile vile ni lugha inayozungumzwa na kueleweka katika eneo la kusini mwa Somalia, Visiwa vya Comoro na sehemu za kaskazini mwa Msumbiji na Malawi. Kadhalika tuna idadi kubwa ya wasikilizaji katika nchi za Mashariki ya kati na kusini mwa Afrika. Idhaa ya Kiswahili imepanua usikilizaji katika masafa ya FM kwa ushirikiano na redio nchini Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda na Rwanda na Jamhuri ya Kidemocrasia ya Congo. |

NYAGATARE - The National Police’s disciplinary council committee on
Saturday expelled former Eastern regional police commander, Emmanuel
Gakwaya, from the force because of abuse of office.
The embattled police chief is accused of diverting for personal use about
Rwf 5million collected by the Kamate Farmers’ Cooperative members to
buy a milk cooler and a generator.
Gakwaya, who is also a member of Kamate Farmers’ Cooperative
reportedly collected the money from the members this year but ended up
using the funds to meet his personal needs.
In a telephone interview with The New Times on Sunday, police
spokesperson, Supt. Eric Kayiranga, confirmed that Supt. Gakwaya had
been expelled from the force.
“Police officers must be people of high integrity because they are
charged to keep law and order in society. He is no longer part of us,”
Kayiranga said.
Kayiranga also refuted earlier reports suggesting that Gakwaya had
been released after police realised that could not sustain the case
against. Read more
