Tangazo kutoka sekretarieti ya ajira serikalini
Sekretarieti ya Ajira
katika Utumishi wa Umma ni chombo kilichoundwa kwa mujibu wa Sheria ya
Utumishi wa Umma Na. 8 ya mwaka 2002 kama ilivyorekebishwa na Sheria Na.
18 ya mwaka 2007 kifungu 29 (1). Jukumu la msingi la Sekretarieti ya
Ajira ni kuendesha mchakato wa ajira katika Utumishi wa Umma. Hapa ina
maana kuwa jukumu la kuajiri, kuthibitisha watumishi kazini pamoja na
masuala ya nidhamu ya Watumishi yanabaki kwa Watendaji Wakuu wa Wizara
na Taasisi katika Utumishi wa Umma mitarafu ya Kifungu cha 6(1) (b) cha
Sheria ya Utumishi wa Umma no 8 ya mwaka 2002. Ambapo katika kuendesha
mchakato huo, Sekretarieti ya Ajira inapaswa kuzingatia Sheria, Kanuni,
na Taratibu zilizopo ili kuhakikisha Utumishi wa Umma unapata Watumishi
weledi na wenye maadili mema. Ambapo hadi sasa jumla ya waombaji 4891
tumeshaendesha mchakato wao wa ajira na kuwapangia vituo vya kazi.
Hata hivyo, Sekretarieti ya Ajira kwa kushirikiana na Ofisi ya Rais Menejimenti ya Utumishi wa Umma ilipeleka Mswada Bungeni unaopendekeza kukasimu madaraka ya kuendesha mchakato wa Ajira ili baadhi ya Waajiri wakasimiwe madaraka hayo ili kurahisisha utendaji kazi katika kushughulikia mchakato wa ajira kwa baadhi ya kada. Huku Sekretarieti ya Ajira ikiendelea kuhakikisha kuwa jukumu hilo linaendelea kutekelezwa kwa ufanisi. Tunapoongelea suala la ufanisi hapa Kitengo cha Udhibiti na Ubora kinasimamia suala zima la uhakiki wa taarifa za mhusika, uhakiki wa vyeti na uadilifu wake kwa ujumla. Ambapo hadi sasa tumeshabaini jumla ya vyeti vya kughushi 677 ambavyo wahusika wanadai wamevipata kutoka RITA, VETA na NECTA.
Nafasi wazi za kazi zitakazokuwa zikitangazwa na mchakato wake kuweza kukasimiwa ni pamoja na Kada ya Wasaidizi wa ofisi, Wahudumu wa afya, Madereva, Maafisa Watendaji wa Kata, Mtaa, Kijiji, Wapishi, Walinzi, Madobi, Wasaidizi watunza kumbukumbu pamoja na Makatibu Muhtasi (walio chini ya cheo cha mwandishi mwendesha ofisi) au Kada zingine ambazo Katibu wa Sekretarieti ataona inafaa kukasimu.
1Aidha, nitoe ushauri kwa wanafunzi walioko shuleni na wanaotarajia kuingia vyuoni kuchukua masomo ama kozi za fani ya Afya, Elimu, Mifugo na Kilimo maana ni maeneo ambayo bado yana fursa nyingi za ajira Serikalini na wahitimu wake pindi wamalizapo wanapangiwa vituo vya kazi moja kwa moja bila ya kupitia mchakato wetu wa ajira kutokana na uhaba wa Wataalam wa fani hizo katika soko la ajira hivi sasa.
Sekretarieti ya Ajira katika kuhakikisha wananchi wanapata taarifa kwa haraka zaidi zinazohusu mchakato wa ajira katika Utumishi wa Umma, pamoja na kuboresha mawasiliano kati ya Ofisi yetu na wadau ili kuweza kuendana na mabadiliko ya sayansi na teknolojia ya habari na mawasiliano nchini na duniani kwa ujumla, iliamua kuanzisha tovuti yake (www.ajira.go.tz) ambayo imerahisisha kwa kiasi kikubwa utoaji na upokeaji wa taarifa mbalimbali hususani za matangazo ya fursa za ajira taarifa nyingine zinazohusu masuala ya ajira Serikalini na matangazo mengine yanayohusu shughuli za Sekretarieti ya Ajira. Tangu kuzinduliwa mwezi Aprili, 2012 imeweza kutembelewa na wadau wapatao 3,017,410
Pamoja na tovuti Sekretarieti ya Ajira imeanzisha KANZIDATA (DATABASE) za aina tatu (3) ambazo ni Kanzidata ya Wahitimu wa Vyuo na Watalaam weledi, Kanzidata ya waliofaulu usaili na Kanzidata ya waliopangiwa vituo vya kazi.
Jambo lingine ambalo ningependa mkalifahamu ni kuwa, Sekretarieti ya Ajira iko katika hatua za awali za mchakato wa kuwawezesha waombaji wa fursa za ajira kuwasilisha maombi ya kazi kwa mfumo wa kielektroniki (e-application) kwa nafasi wazi zitakazokuwa zikitangazwa katika Utumishi wa Umma ili kurahisisha kupunguza mlolongo wa uendeshaji mchakato wa ajira ulivyo hivi sasa.
Mwisho nimalizie kwa kuwataka waombaji wa fursa za ajira kutokuchagua maeneo ya kufanyia kazi, hususani wale wanaopangiwa vituo vya kazi na Sekretarieti ya ajira na hawaendi kuripoti bila ya kutoa sababu za msingi maana Sekretarieti ya Ajira inaona hili ni kosa na inaandaa utaratibu wa kutowaruhusu kufanya usaili mwingine waombaji kama hao.

Mafuta ya Oki, Viking, Asma sasa marufuku
Shirika la Viwango (TBS) limepiga marufuku uuzaji, ununuzi na matumizi ya mafuta ya kula ya aina ya Oki, Viking na Asma baada ya kubainika kuwa hayana ubora na hatari kwa afya za watumiaji.
Kwa mujibu wa Tangazo lilitolewa na Shirika la Viwango nchini (TBS) kwa baadhi ya vyombo vya habari jana, yeyote atakayekiuka agizo hilo atachukuliwa hatua za kisheria kwa mujibu wa Sheria ya Viwango Na. 2 ya mwaka 2009.
Tangazo hilo lilisema TBS ilinunua mafuta hayo yanayozalishwa nchini Malayasia na kuingizwa kupitia njia za panya, kusambazwa sokoni na kubainika kuwa hayajakidhi matakwa ya kiwango cha kimataifa TZS 559:2010 kinachotumiwa nchini.
“Matokeo ya uchunguzi wa sampuli zake yalibainika kuwa yameshaharibika kabla ya kufikia ukomo wa matumizi kutokana na kutosafishwa ipsavyo, ni machafu kutokana na kuchanganyika na maji hivyo vigezo vya ubora wa mafuta havikufikiwa.”
Kwa msingi huo, TBS imewataka wauzaji wa mafuta hayo kuyaondoa sokoni mara moja na wateja kuacha kuyanunua hadi hapo itakapothibitika kuwa yamefikia kiwango kinachotakiwa.
Awali NIPASHE ilichunguza na kubaini kuwa mafuta hayo hushushwa kwenye bandari bubu ya ufukwe wa Mbweni jijini Dar es Salaam na wafanyabiashara ambao pia walidaiwa kukwepa kulipa ushuru.
Kazi hiyo hufanywa bila kificho na baadhi ya waliozungumza na mwandishi wetu walieleza kuwa huenda kuna ushirikiano na maofisa wa vyombo vya dola wasio waaminifu.
Licha ya kukwepa kodi, pia mafuta hayo yamekuwa yakiuzwa kwa bei ya chini kati ya Sh. 38,000 na 45,000 kwa ujazo wa lita 20 na kuwaumiza wazalishaji wa mafuta ya ndani ambao huuza mafuta ya ujazo huo kwa kati ya Sh. 52,000 na 55,000.
Tofauti hiyo husababisha wenye viwanda vya ndani kushindwa kufanya biashara kutokana na mafuta hayo kukosa mshindani na kuzagaa sokoni.
Mafuta hayo yamekuwa yakitumiwa kwa wingi na wafanyabiashara hasa wakaanga chipsi kwa vile ndiyo mafuta ya bei nafuu.

Taarifa ya TFDA inayofafanua kuhusu matumizi ya mafuta ya mbegu za ubuyu
Mamlaka ya Chakula na
Dawa (TFDA) ni taasisi iliyoundwa chini ya Sheria ya Chakula Dawa na
Vipodozi Sura ya 219, ili kudhibiti ubora na usalama wa vyakula, dawa,
vipodozi, na vifaa tiba kwa lengo la kulinda afya ya jamii dhidi ya
madhara yatokanayo na matumizi ya bidhaa hizo.
Imefahamika kuwa mafuta yatokanayo na mimea hupendwa zaidi kuliko mafuta ya wanyama kutokana na manufaa yake kiafya. Ili mafuta ya mimea yaweze kukidhi vigezo vya ubora na usalama ni lazima yafanyiwe usafishaji (refining) wakati wa usindikaji.
Hivi karibuni kumekuwepo na ongezeko kubwa la matumizi ya bidhaa zinazotokana na ubuyu ikiwa ni pamoja na mafuta yanayotokana na mbegu, unga wa mbegu na majani ya mbuyu.
Taarifa za kisayansi zinaonesha kuwa mafuta ya ubuyu yana kiwango kikubwa cha tindikali ya mafuta aina ya
Imefahamika kuwa mafuta yatokanayo na mimea hupendwa zaidi kuliko mafuta ya wanyama kutokana na manufaa yake kiafya. Ili mafuta ya mimea yaweze kukidhi vigezo vya ubora na usalama ni lazima yafanyiwe usafishaji (refining) wakati wa usindikaji.
Hivi karibuni kumekuwepo na ongezeko kubwa la matumizi ya bidhaa zinazotokana na ubuyu ikiwa ni pamoja na mafuta yanayotokana na mbegu, unga wa mbegu na majani ya mbuyu.
Taarifa za kisayansi zinaonesha kuwa mafuta ya ubuyu yana kiwango kikubwa cha tindikali ya mafuta aina ya
cyclopropenoic
fatty acids ambayo huweza kusababisha athari ya kiafya endapo mafuta
hayo yatatumika kama chakula. Kiwango cha tindikali ya cyclopropenoic
fatty acids huweza tu kupunguzwa katika mafuta ya mbegu za ubuyu kwa
kuchemsha mafuta hayo katika nyuzi joto 180 kwa muda wa saa nane (8) au
kwa kutumia teknolojia ya kutengeneza mafuta mgando (hydrogenation). Kwa
sasa hapa nchini hakuna aina ya usindikaji unaofanyika wenye uwezo wa
kuondoa tindikali ya cyclopropenoic fatty acids katika mafuta ya mbegu
za ubuyu.
Baadhi ya athari zinazoweza kutokana na matumizi ya mafuta ya ubuyu yenye tindikali ya cyclopropenoic fatty acids ni pamoja na kuathiri vimeng’enyo (enzymes) vinavyosaidia katika uchakataji wa tindikali za mafuta mwilini (fatty acid biosynthesis).
Aidha, taarifa za kisayansi zinaonesha kuwa matumizi ya mafuta yenye kiasi kikubwa cha cyclopropenoic fatty acids sanjari na matumizi ya vyakula vilivyochafuliwa na sumu kuvu aina ya aflatoxin B1 ambayo inazalishwa na ukungu (fungus) katika baadhi ya vyakula kama vile mahindi na karanga huongeza uwezekano wa kuugua saratani.
Hadi sasa hakuna kiwango chochote cha ubora na usalama cha kitaifa au kimataifa cha mafuta yatokanayo na mbegu za ubuyu. Ili kuepuka athari zinazoweza kujitokeza kutokana na matumizi ya mafuta ya mbegu za ubuyu, jamii inashauriwa kuepuka ulaji wa mafuta hayo.
Hata hivyo, tafiti za kisayansi hazijabainisha athari za kiafya zinazoweza kutokana na ulaji wa bidhaa nyingine zitokanazo na ubuyu kama vile unga wa ubuyu na majani ya mbuyu.
TFDA inatoa wito kwa wananchi na jamii kwa ujumla kushirikiana katika jukumu la kulinda afya za walaji kwa kutoa taarifa pale wanapouziwa au kuhisi kuwepo kwa chakula, dawa, vipodozi na vifaa tiba duni na bandia ambavyo havikidhi viwango vya usalama na ubora au pale sheria inapovunjwa ili hatua stahiki ziweze kuchukuliwa kwa wahusika.

UNC professor resigns academic chairman post
UNC professor Julius Nyang'oro, chairman of UNC-CH African and Afro-American studies.
HARRY LYNCH — 2000 N&O file photo
A UNC-Chapel Hill department chairman at the center of
questions regarding academic integrity within the university's football
program has resigned from the position, university officials said
Thursday.
UNC-CH Chancellor Holden Thorp said in a statement that Julius Nyang'oro, who headed the Department of African and Afro-American Studies, has resigned as the university looks at "possible irregularities with courses that included undergraduate students."
"Because academic integrity is paramount, we have every obligation to get to the bottom of these issues," Thorp said.
UNC officials said the irregularities involved student-athletes and other students. They declined to provide further details.
Nyang'oro will continue to teach at the university. His salary will be reduced $12,000 to $159,000.
The university said that it had notified the NCAA of the resignation and the possible irregularities, but said no student-athletes would be held out of games.
The resignation follows reports in The News & Observer that raised questions about Nyang'oro's connections to football players and the athletic department.
Last week, The N&O reported that Nyang'oro had hired a sports agent to teach a summer class this year without telling his boss, Arts and Sciences Dean Karen Gil, about the agent's profession. The sports agent, Carl Carey Jr., who earned his doctorate at UNC-CH and had served as an adviser to football players there, was representing two football players at the time he taught the class. No football players took the class, according to the athletic department.
Nyang'oro's handling of two football players who took his classes also has drawn attention

The sports agent, Carl Carey Jr., who earned his doctorate at UNC-CH and had served as an adviser to football players there, was representing two football players at the time he taught the class. No football players took the class, according to the athletic department.
Nyang'oro's handling of two football players who took his classes also has drawn attention
He missed a blatant case of plagiarism in a paper submitted by one football player, Michael McAdoo, who was later given an F in the class by the university's honor court.His department allowed incoming freshman Marvin Austin, a prized recruit, to take a 400-level class taught by Nyang'oro before Austin had taken introductory classes that included a remedial writing class. Austin received a B plus.
Both football players were kicked off the team last year as part of an NCAA investigation into academic misconduct and impermissible benefits from sports agents and their go-betweens. Carey is not among the agents found to have given players illegal gifts.
Allegations of NCAA violations include an assistant coach taking money from an agent, a former UNC football player whom the NCAA considers an agent with access to players in the weight room, and numerous athletes accepting trips, parties and other perks from agents. That inquiry into impermissible benefits and academic misconduct forced 14 players to miss at least one game last season, and seven sat out the entire season.
In July, Thorp fired football coach Butch Davis and accepted the retirement of Athletic Director Dick Baddour. UNC-CH has until Sept. 19 to respond to an NCAA notice of allegations, and is scheduled to appear before the association's infractions committee on Oct. 28.
After McAdoo's plagiarism was discovered by N.C. State University fans, and confirmed by The N&O, Thorp acknowledged that the university had missed it. But he continued to stand behind Nyang'oro, calling him a "great colleague."
Thorp was Nyang'oro's supervisor as dean of the Arts and Sciences college from July 2007 to May 2008, when Thorp became chancellor.
According to an academic resume, Nyang'oro began teaching at UNC-CH in 1984 as a visiting professor. He was hired as a professor six years later and became chairman of African and Afro-American studies in 1992.
His resume lists two teaching honors - one from undergraduate students for the 1990-91 academic year, and the outstanding faculty award from the Class of 2000 - and four pages of published books and articles.
Before the resignation, James Peacock, a UNC-CH anthropology professor and former faculty chairman, called Nyang'oro "one of the finest human beings and teachers and administrators whom I have ever known. Period. I don't really know anything about the situation with the plagiarism and all the rest, but whatever he has done in that area, and I don't know anything about it, should be balanced (with) his superb contributions in so many other ways."
Nyang'oro, 56, has a law degree from Duke University, and master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Miami, according to his resume. He received his bachelor's degree from a university in Tanzania. As chairman, he oversaw a staff of 22.
Nyang'oro had not responded to numerous requests for interviews over several weeks. Reached at his office Thursday, he declined to comment and referred a reporter to the university administration.
Thorp said professor Evelyne Huber will serve as the interim chairman for the African and Afro-American studies department. She is also chairman of the political science department.

I will Just Wait For You At the Right Place And I will Hit You, Rwandan General Paul Kagame Threatens Tanzanian Jakaya Kikwete
“Those people [Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete] you just heard siding with Interahamwe and FDLR and urging negotiations… negotiations? Me, I do not even discuss this topic, because I will just wait for you [Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete] at the right place and I will hit you! He[Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete] did not deserve my answer. I did not waste my time answering him…It is well known. There is a line you cannot cross, there is a line, a line that you should never cross. It is impossible…”“
It is in these ominous terms that the Rwandan dictator General Paul Kagame threatened to get even with Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, while addressing Rwandan Youth on June 30, 2013 during a summit called “Youth Konnect”“, sponsored by his wife, Janet Kagame.
Relations between Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete and Rwandan leaders have soured in the last weeks. On several occasions Rwandan leaders called the Tanzanian President “a genocide and terrorist sympathizer”, “ignorant”, “arrogant”, and “mediocre leader”. The relations have deteriorated following the recommendation by President Jakaya Kikwete of open negotiations between Rwandan, Ugandan and Congolese leaders and their respective armed opposition in order to bring durable peace and security in the African Great Lakes region.
