WALIOTUHUMIWA MAMLUKI CHADEMA WAVULIWA UONGOZI.

WALIOTUHUMIWA MAMLUKI CHADEMA WAVULIWA UONGOZI.

Na Bryceson Mathias, Kilosa.

NGUVU ya Umma ya Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema) Kata ya Ruaha, Jimbo la Mikumi, Wilaya ya Kilosa, Morogoro, wamewavua Uongozi waliokuwa Viongozi wao na kuweka Kamati ya Muda (Task Force), kwa madai ya kuwa Mamluki ndani ya Chama chao.

Waliovuliwa Uongozi na kubaki na Uanachama ni pamoja na aliyekuwa Mwenyekiti wa Kata, George Banda, Katibu, Ally Mponda, Katibu Mwenezi, William Temu, Mweka Hazina, Aurelia Mnunga, na Mjumbe wa Kamati Tendaji, Mwalimu Myami.

Katika Kikao cha ndani cha Julai 2 (Ukumbi wa Linas), kilichosimamiwa na Mkurugenzi wa Uchaguzi na Mafunzo wa Chadema Taifa, Benson Kigaila; Baada ya kusikiliza ‘Tuhuma’ za Viongozi hao, aliwauliza wanachama wanataka nini, ambapo wote walipaza Sauti; Wavuliwe Uongozi na kubaki Wanachama!.

Aidha Tuhuma zilizoelekezwa kwa Viongozi hao, ni Kuwafukuza Viongozi wenzao Watatu wa Chadema, kwa kutumia Vifungu visivyokuwemo kwenye Katiba ya Chadema, ilihali wakijua ni kukinyang’anya Chadema Ushindi wake halali na kukifurahisha Chama Mapinduzi(CCM).

Nyingine ni Viongozi hao kuhamisha Vikao vya Chama, ambapo badala ya kufanyia kwenye Ofisi ya Chadema Kata, kwa Miezi zaidi ya Minne walihamishia Vikao na Ofisi kwenye Mgahawa wa mmoja wa Viongozi hao kinyume cha Katiba.

Kiongozi Mpya, Abasi Longa, alikiri kuchaguliwa Mwenyekiti wa Muda kati ya Viongozi waliochaguliwa na Wanachama; Hii ikiwa ni mara tu baada ya kumvua, Banda aliyekuwa Mwenyekiti, ambapo, Joram Zacharia, alithibitisha kuchukua UKatibu aliovuliwa, Mponda.

Mbali ya waliovuliwa nyadhifa kutotaka kuzungumza na Mwandishi hata walipopigiwa simu za Viganjani kuelezea walivypokea kuvuliwa Uongozi na kuwa Wananchama; Aliyekuwa Katibu, Mponda, pekee alikiri kuondolewa, akisema, “Siasa ni Kijiti, lazima tupokezana”.alisema

Hata hivyo, Longa alikiri kupokea Fomu za Viongozi watatu waliovuliwa Uongozi na kubaki Wanachama wa Chadema, Banda, Mponda na Mnunga, ambao wametia nia ya Udiwani wa Kata hiyo.

Awali Mponda, alimthibitia Mwandishi wa habari, kuhusu azma yake kutia nia ya kugombea Udiwani wa Kata hiyo wakiwemo Viongozi wenzake waliovulia Madaraka, jambo ambalo limeendelea kuwawatia Shaka Wana Chadema kuwa, huenda kulikuwa na kitu nyuma ya Pazia

LEO KWENYE KIKAO YUPO MH.LOWASSA MAKALA ZA LEO NYINGI ZITAMUHUSU YEYE TU

Mkutano wa Lowassa wazua taharuki.

Waziri Mkuu wa zamani, Edward Lowassa.

Mkutano wa Waandishi wa habari na Waziri Mkuu wa zamani, Edward Lowassa, uliotakiwa kufanyika jana nyumbani kwake Masaki, jijini Dar es Salaam, umehairishwa, huku kukiwa na taharuki juu ya kile alichotarajiwa kukizungumza kwa umma na taarifa mbalimbali kwenye mitandao ya kijamii zikizagaa.

Sababu za kuahirishwa kwa mkutano huo zinaelezwa kuwa ni kutokana na kuchelewa kufika kwa Lowassa akitokea mjini Dodoma.

Mapema asubuhi jana Waandishi wa Habari walitakiwa kufika nyumbani kwa kiongozi huyo ambaye pia ni Mbunge wa Monduli kwa tiketi ya CCM kwa ajili ya kuzungumza jambo ambalo halikuwekwa wazi.

Waandishi wa habari kutoka vyombo mbalimbali vya habari tangu majira ya saa 3:30 asubuhi, waliwasili nje ya nyumba hiyo na kuelezwa kuwa Lowassa bado hajafika na hivyo hakuna mkutano kama ilivyokuwa imetengazwa awali.

Taarifa mbalimbali zilizozagaa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii kama Facebook na WhatsApp zilikuwa zikieleza kuwa nyumba ya kiongozi huyo imezingirwa na watu wa usalama wa Taifa kwa lengo la kuimarisha ulinzi, huku wengine wakidai kuwa anajiandaa ‘kutimkia’ upinzani baada ya kukosa nafasi ya Urais ndani ya Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM).

Katika mitandao hiyo kuna kiu kubwa ya watumiaji wake kutaka kusikia kauli ya kiongozi huyo baada ya jina lake kuenguliwa katika mchakato huo.

Lowassa alijizoelea umaarufu wakati akiwa Waziri Kuu, wizara alizoziongoza ikiwamo Wizara ya Maji, Maendeleo ya Mifugo, kutokana na umahiri wake wa kusimamia masuala mbalimbali ya maendeleo.

Akizungumza na NIPASHE kwa njia ya simu, Msemaji wa Lowassa, Abubakari Liongo, alisema mkutano huo wa Waandishi wa habari ulipangwa kufanyika jana majira ya saa 5:00 asubuhi, lakini ulishindikana kutokana na kwamba walichelewa kuwasili kutoka mkoani Dodoma.

“Taarifa zinazosambaa kuwa nyumba ya Mheshimiwa imezingirwa na watu wa ulinzi siyo za kweli, na waandishi waliofika pale asubuhi waliona hilo, pia kuhusu kuhamia upinzani ni maneno ambayo watu wameamua kuyaandika na kusambaza ila hakuna ukweli wowote,” alisema.

Alisema Lowassa atazungumza na waandishi wa habari kama alivyokuwa amepanga, lakini ni baada ya kukamilisha baadhi ya mambo na kwamba kila chombo cha habari kitajulishwa.

Tangu kutangazwa kwa mgombea wa kupeperusha bendera ya chama hicho, Dk. John Magufuli, Julai 12, mwaka huu, Lowassa hajajitokeza mbele ya umma kuzungumza lolote, tofauti na wagombe wengine ambao tayari wametangaza kuunga mkono mgombea aliyepitishwa.

Katika mkutano mkuu wa CCM mjini Dodoma, Dk. Magufuli alimtangaza Mgombea mwenza ambaye ni Samia Suluhu Hassan.

Lowassa ni kada aliyetangaza nia ya kuomba ridhaa ya CCM kupeperusha Bendera ya chama hicho, lakini jina lake lilienguliwa katika hatua za awali za Kamati Kuu ya chama hicho ambayo ilitoa majina matano.

Baada ya Kamati Kuu kumaliza kazi yake majira ya saa 6 usiku na majina matano kujulikana, wajumbe watatu, Dk. Emmanuel Nchimbi, Adamu Kimbisa na Sophia Simba, walizungumza na waandishi wa habari kupinga maamuzi ya kamati hiyo na kwamba hawahusiki nayo.

Aidha, Julai 11, mwaka huu, Halmashauri Kuu ya CCM, ilikutana na kutoa majina matatu, huku katika mitaa mbalimbali kukiwa na maandamano ya wafuasi wa Lowassa, wakitaka jina lake kurejeshwa na kuwa miongoni mwa wanaoomba ridhaa ya chama hicho.

Shinikizo hilo lilisababisha majina matatu kutotajwa haraka, na Mwenyekiti wa CCM, Jakaya Kikwete, alipoingia ukumbi wa mkutano alipokelewa na nyimbo za kushinikiza jina la Lowassa kurejeshwa miongoni mwa majina yanayotakiwa kupigiwa kura na wajumbe wa mkutano huo.

Kikwete alishindwa kuendelea na mkutano huo na kuahirisha kwa kile kilichoelezwa ni kutoa nafasi kwa wajumbe kwenda kupata chakula cha mchana, na waliporejea hali ilikuwa tofauti kwani hakukuwa na nyimbo zozote.

Katika mitaa mbalimbali ya mji wa Dodoma hasa karibu na Makao Mkuu ya chama, kulikuwa na maandamano ya baadhi ya wananchama huku wengine wakitambaa barabarani, kushinikiza jina la Lowassa kurejeshwa kuwa miongoni mwa wateule.

Maandamano hayo yaliwakusanya watu kwenye eneo la Nyerere Square wakiimba nyimbo za Lowassa kuwa ndiye raisi wao na kutawanywa na askari waliokuwa wameimarisha ulinzi mjini humo.

POLE ILA NAAMINI NDIO SABABU HIZI

MAMBO 5 YALIYOMPONZ LOWASSA

Waziri Mkuu wa zamani na aliyekuwa mtangaza nia ya kugombea urais wa Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano Tanzania, Edward Lowassa akipokea fomu zilizosainiwa na wadhamini wake.

TAYARI Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) kimemtangaza Waziri wa Ujenzi, John Pombe Joseph Magufuli kuwa mgombea urais mwaka huu huku Samia Suluhu Hassan akiwa mgombea mwenza, lakini bado jina la mgombea aliyekatwa, Edward Lowassa linazungumzika, safari hii yakibainishwa mambo matano yanayoolezwa ndiyo yalichangia kukatwa kwake.

Akizungumza na Uwazi juzi mjini hapa kwa sharti la kutotajwa jina lake gazetini, mjumbe mmoja wa Halmashauri Kuu ya CCM-Taifa (Nec) alisema nguvu ya Lowasaa kichama ilikuwa kubwa lakini mambo hayo matano ndiyo yalisababisha akashindwa kufikia hata hatua ya Tano Bora.


“Sisi kama wajumbe, tunajua mengi. Lowassa alikuwa mgombea mwenye nguvu, alikuwa na watu ndani ya Nec, lakini sasa Kamati Kuu (CC) ilimkata kwa vigezo vyake, lakini naamini ndani ya hayo mambo matano ndiyo maana alikatwa.

MAKANISA, MISIKITI YATAJWA
Kwa mujibu wa mjumbe huyo kutoka Mkoa wa Tanga, kitendo cha Lowassa kuchagisha fedha kwa njia ya harambee kwenye misikiti na makanisa akiwa kama mgeni mwalikwa, kulichangia CC ya CCM kumwona kama alianza kampeni mapema.

“Unajua ndani ya makanisa mengi yanasemwa. Baadhi ya watu ndani ya chama chake walisema alianza kampeni mapema kwa vile kule kuzungumza na waumini kuliweza kumpa nguvu ya kisiasa. Hii nayo ilichangia,” alisema mjumbe huyo.

STAILI YA KUTANGAZA NIA
Mjumbe huyo alikwenda mbele zaidi kwa kusema kuwa, jambo la pili ambalo lilimtia doa ya kuteuliwa Lowassa ni staili aliyoitumia kutangaza nia.

Alisema: “Unajua CCM inakataza kabisa mtu mwenye kutangaza nia kufanya vitendo vyovyote vyenye dalili ya kampeni. Lowassa alipoyakaribisha yale makundi ya kumshawishi kugombea na kuzungumza na vyombo vya habari pia ilikuwa ni kigingi kwake. Kama itakumbukwa kuwa, kuna wakati Katibu wa Itikadi na Uenezi, Nape Nnauye ilibidi aseme.”

KUFUNGIWA NA KAMATI
“Pia itakumbukwa kuwa, Februari 18, mwaka jana, Kamati Kuu ya CCM iliwafungia makada wake sita kwa kosa la kuanza kampeni mapema jambo ambalo ni kinyume na utaratibu wa chama.

“Lowassa alikuwemo, lakini wengine pia walikuwemo kama Bernard Membe (Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa), Januari Makamba (Naibu Waziri wa Mawasiliano, Sayansi na Teknolojia), William Ngeleja (Mbunge wa Sengerema), na Frederick Sumaye (waziri mkuu msatafu).

“Sasa, walipofunguliwa, Lowassa alionekana kama anaendelea kwa kitendo chake cha kuzungumza na wananchi kwa kupitia kigezo cha makundi kwenda kumshawishi,” alisema mjumbe huyo.

MATAJIRI, WAFANYABIASHARA WAKUBWA
Kitendo cha kudaiwa kuwa na ukaribu na baadhi ya matajiri na wafanyabiashara wakubwa ambao wanatiliwa shaka na baadhi ya wananchi pia kunatajwa kuwa sababu ya CC kuamua kumuweka kando Lowassa.

DOA LA RICHMOND
Licha ya mwenyewe kuwahi kusema mbele ya mkutano mkuu wa Nec wakati fulani kwamba, katika mchakato wa upatikanaji wa tenda ya kufua umeme kwa Kampuni ya Richmond, hakuna alilolifanya bila serikali kuu kujua lakini bado doa lile lililosababisha akajiuzulu uwaziri mkuu limeonekana kuwa kikwazo kwake.

“Ni kweli Lowassa alijiuzulu kwa sababu ya nafasi yake lakini si kwamba alihusika na ufisadi. Lakini nahisi iko haja kwake kuweka bayana kuhusu ule mchakato kwani baadhi ya wanasiasa wenzake wamekuwa wakitumia ishu ile kama jiwe la kumpigia.

“CC iliona kwamba, kama wangempeleka yeye kwenye kinyang’anyiro labda wapinzani wangetumia sakata la Richmond kujizolea kura kwa madai kwamba, Lowassa alijiuzulu kwa sababu hiyo,” alisema mjumbe huyo.

KUTOKA NDANI ZAIDI
Hata hivyo, pia kuna madai kwamba, wajumbe wa CC walimtafakari Lowassa kwa umakini na kugundua kuwa, alitakiwa kukatwa jina mapema kabla ya kuingia kwenye Tabo Bora.

“Kama Kamati Kuu ya CCM ingempitisha Lowassa kwenye Tano Bora, hakuna ambaye angemshinda mbele ya safari kwenye Nec na Mkutano Mkuu. Alikuwa na nguvu kubwa kwa wajumbe. Ndiyo maana wakamdhibiti kule mwanzoni kabisa,” kilisema chanzo kimoja na kuongeza:

“Lakini hata Nec na Mkutano Mkuu walipopelekewa jina la Magufuli walifurahia kwa sababu hana makundi ndiyo maana akazoa hizi kura 2104 na ndiye mgombea aliyepeleka hofu kwenye vyama vya upinzani (Ukawa) kwa sababu hana kashfa.”

KISA CHA KUKATWA MEMBE
Chanzo hicho kilisema kuwa, Bernard Membe ilibidi akatwe ili kutuliza upepo wa kisiasa ndani ya chama.
“Unajua Membe ndiye aliyekuwa mpinzani mkubwa wa Lowassa. Kuingia kwake kwenye Tano Bora na kuachwa Lowassa kusema kweli kulizua taharuki kubwa. Baadhi ya watu walikusudia kuibua uasi. Ndiyo maana ukawasikia wajumbe wakiimba wana imani na Lowassa wakati mwenyekiti wetu (Jakaya Kikwete) akiingia ukumbini.

“Ilibidi jina la Membe likatwe ili kambi ya Lowassa waone kifo cha wengi ni harusi na upepo mbaya ukatulia ndani ya chama la sivyo mpaka leo (Jumapili) kungekuwa bado Tano Bora iko mikononi mwa wajumbe wa Nec,” kilisema chanzo hicho.

Fallout Within Tanzania’s Ruling Party as Former Prime Minister is Eliminated From Nomination Race

The central committee of the ruling party, CCM, finished its meeting at midnight and came up with five names that would be seconded to the national executive committee for voting today, Saturday.

Ideology and Publicity secretary Nape Nnauye told reporters soon after the meeting that the names of the five aspirants approved by the party would not be made public but will be taken directly to the NEC meeting scheduled to start at 10am today, Saturday.

“Because the nomination process is ongoing we will not disclose the names of five aspirants, which will be taken directly to the NEC meeting for voting to get three names. The three names will then be taken to the national congress later in the afternoon,” Mr Nnauye noted.

However sources privy to proceedings of the meeting said the names of five approved presidential aspirants include January Makamba, Asha Rose Migiro, Amina Salum Ali, John Magufuli and Bernard Membe.

This was later confirmed when CCM tweeted the five names in its official twitter handle (@ccm_tanzania ). The twitter was also reflected in the party’s website ww.ccm.org.tz.

The fallout

Immediately after Mr Nnauye’s media briefing three members of the central committee who attended the meeting- Dr Emmanuel Nchimbi, Adam Kimbisa and Sophia Simba- told journalists that they opposed the nomination procedures that were used to come up with the five names because the procedures were in violation of the party’s constitution.

The visibly agitated Nchimbi said the CCM constitution demands that the names of all aspirants who returned nomination forms be tabled in the central committee meeting, which then vets them and comes up with five names.

But it seems the Ethics and Security committee meeting which met in the afternoon on Friday did the vetting and came up with few names.

“We hereby declare that we do not agree on the decisions of the meetings because the party’s regulations and constitution, which say that the central committee is the first meeting to start vetting aspirants in the nomination process, have been violated,” Mr Nchimbi noted.

He added; “We informed the meeting that we do not agree with the decision reached because it also violates a section of the constitution that says the central committee would give special consideration to the front-runner or front runners in the nomination contest.”

The three central committee members are believed to be supporters of former Prime Minister Edward Lowassa, who has been the clear front runner from the beginning of the process. Mr Lowassa who resigned as Prime Minister in the wake of the Richmond scandal in February 2008 attracted huge crowds in his campaign events and collected hundreds of thousands of endorsements from party members instead of the 400 required to qualify for nomination.

However, he faced allegations of spending too much money in his campaigns and of bribing party members to support him. He has defended himself saying the money he spent on his bid for nomination is from his friends and that he has conducted a clean campaign.

“Anyone who has evidence that I bribed CCM members to support me let him come forward. I have conducted a clean campaign and I am innocent,” he told reporters on July 1 here in Dodoma after he had submitted nomination forms.

His seeming involvement in the Richmond, which led to his resignation from office, has continued to haunt him. It has given ammunition to his opponents who have portrayed him as a corrupt politician.

The Richmond scandal involved serious irregularities in the tendering process of emergence power supply following biting power shortages of 2006.

The company that was given the tender to supply the emergence electricity was the the US-based Richmond Development Company. But it soon proved to be unable to meet deadlines and was later found, after an investigation by a Parliamentary Select Committee, to be a briefcase company.

Though not directly implicated, Mr Lowassa resigned out of political responsibility.

What next for CCM

Opposing decisions taken by the powerful but secretive central committee is unprecedented and shows how stiff competition in this year’s nomination process is.

It also indicates that things are set to become worse and the the rift created by eliminating Mr Lowassa from the nomination process could intensify. Unconfirmed reports say members of NEC who support the former Premier plan to move a motion of no confidence with the chairman of CCM President Jakaya Kikwete and his central committee during the NEC meeting today Saturday. The CCM constitution gives NEC members powers to dismiss the chairman of the party and some members of NEC want to attempt to dissolve the central committee and appoint new members.

Today Saturday is perhaps going to be the most crucial day in the history of CCM as the party and the camp of the most powerful member battle it out.

It is left to Mr Kikwete to employ all his politician capital to manage the fallout and save the party.

The national executive committee (NEC) is the highest decision making organ which, according to Article 107(13)(f) selects 14 members of the central committee.  The rest of the members of the central committee qualify for the membership because of their positions in the party.

Mpasuko CCM: Nchimbi, Sophia Simba na Adam Kimbisa Wapinga Jina la Edwarad Lowassa Kukatwa

Mpasuko CCM: Nchimbi, Sophia Simba na Adam Kimbisa Wapinga Jina la Edwarad Lowassa Kukatwa

Habari za Hivi punde kutoka makao makuu ya CCM mkoani Dodoma  ni kwamba wajumbe wa kamati kuu  watatu ambao ni  Dkt. Emmanuel Nchimbi, Sophia Simba na Adam Kimbisa  wamepinga maamuzi ya kamati ya kumkata mmoja wa wagombea maarufu   na kumweka mgombea asiyekuwa maarufu.

 

Akizungumza usiku huu majira ya saa saba za usiku Dkt. Nchimbi amesema kwamba wao watatu hawajakubaliana na maamuzi ya kamati kuu iliyoketi usiku huu chini ya Mwenyekiti Dkt Jakaya Kikwete kumkata mgombea maarufu kwa manufaa ya mgombea asiye maarufu.

 

“Katika kikao cha leo kamati haikupoea majina yote yaliyojadiliwa na maadili, suala ambalo ni kinyume na kanuni, pili katiba ya CCM inataka mtu anayekubalika  ndiye apewe nafasi ya kwanza, lakini kikao cha leo kimeonyesha kuminya wanaokubalika  kwa manufaa ya wachache wasiokubalika” Amesema Dkt. Nchimbi.

 

Hivyo basi kwa sababu hiyo wao watatu ambao ni wajumbe wa kamati kuu wamewataarifu wenzao  kwamba wamejitenga na maamuzi ya kikao hicho na kutangaza kuto kuyaunga mkono.

 

Kwa mujibu wa tafiti mbalimbali za kisiasa nchini Tanzania zinaonesha kuwa mgombea anayekubalisa sana CCM ni Mbunge wa Monduli Edward Lowassa akifuatiwa na Waziri wa Mambo ya nje na ushirikiano wa kimataifa  Bernad Membe.

Hapo  chini  nimekuwekea  Video  ya  Emmanuel  Nchimbi  akiyapinga  maamuzi  hayo.
