NGOs urge politicians to End Zanzibar election crisis



Zanzibar. Four NGOs yesterday appealed to leaders in Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar to resolve the ongoing political impasse which has adversely affected people psychologically.
The four NGOs: Zanzibar Interfaith Center, Global Network of Religions for Children (GNRC), Association of Non-governmental organisations in Zanzibar (Angoza) and Tanzania Media Women’s Association (Tamwa) made the joint appeal at the end of their one-day meeting held here.

A Tamwa coordinator for Zanzibar, Ms Mzuri Issa Hassan, told a news conference at a hotel here that the political crisis was psychologically and economically affecting people in the clove Islands.
“The political situation in Zanzibar is volatile and calls for immediate attention to resolve it. People bought food and stored in their houses fearing for the worse,” she said.
Ms Mzuri added that the NGOs also appealed to the leaders to resolve the political stand-off in a peaceful manner and do all they could to avoid bloodletting.
The political stand-off in Zanzibar started on October 28 after the chairman of the Zanzibar Electoral Commission (ZEC), Mr Jecha Salum Jecha, announced nullification of the October 25 General Election citing irregularities.

In their joint declaration, the NGOs said that the annulled elections had left the east African archipelago in a political limbo.
On Friday, the Secretary General of opposition Civic United Front (Cuf), Mr Seif Sharrif Hamad, held talks with diplomats accredited to Tanzania aimed at finding a solution to the political impasse.
The talks were held a day after the United Nations and the European Union expressed optimism and support on the ongoing high level negotiations aimed at resolving the crisis.
Mr Hamad also held talks with former Chadema presidential candidate, Mr Edward Lowassa.
On Thursday, the UN representative to Tanzania, Mr Alvaro Rodriguez and EU Head of delegation to Tanzania, Mr Sebregondi, said in a joint news conference that their organisations were anxiously observing the talks and would welcome positive developments from the talks.

Following the nullification of the Zanzibar elections, international election observers and the governments of the United States and Britain called ZEC to resume the election results tabulation process without delay.

Post Elections Incidents: Police raid observers’ office, arrest staff


Police yesterday raided and seized 24 computers from an office used by the Tanzanian Civil Society Consortium on Election Observation (Tacceo) to receive election reports from various regions.
At around 2pm armed police officers stormed the centre, located within the offices of the Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) at Mbezi Beach in the city and also grabbed 25 mobile phones for investigation purposes. The police also arrested 36 data clerks at the centre.

Speaking to the media at the scene, acting executive director of the LHRC, Ms Imelda-lulu Urio, said police officers told them they suspected the centre was collecting, tallying and distributing election results to the public.
The dramatic arrest lasted about five hours following arguments between police officers and officials of LHRC.

When the police officers stormed the centre, they locked in data clerks at the room and ordered them to pack all computers and mobile phones in boxes so they could take them to the Central Police Station for investigation.
However, due to arguments between the two parties, police spent five hours before leaving with the items and clerks to the police station at around 7.30pm.
Ms Urio complained that the police stormed their offices a search warrant and did not inform local leaders of the raid.

LHRC director of Advocacy and Reforms, Mr Harold Sungusia, said Tacceo was working legally under the accreditation of the National Electoral Commission (NEC) to observe the 2015 General Election through at least 240 observers countrywide.
“What police has done today is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. This is rape to democracy,” said Mr Sungusia.
 He said following the incident, they are worried that they cannot complete compiling their report on election observation.

Yesterday’s incident comes just four days after the police raided vote-tallying centres used by the main opposition Chadema and arrested several officials who were operating the centre.
The incident occurred last night around 10 pm when their officials were continuing with collecting results from various wards around the country.
The centre had 800 officials who were contacting thousands of their party’s agents around the country.
Chadema alleged that its centre was doing the same work as a Chama cha Mapinduzi which is located at Mlimani City area.

Magufuli receives winner’s certificate for the presidency in Dar


Dr John Magufuli has officially received the General Election winner's certificate for the presidency at an early morning ceremony in Dar es Salaam.

NEC Chairman Judge Damian Lubuva handed the certificate to Dr Magufuli and his running mate Ms Samia Suluhu Hassan who is destined to be the first woman vice president in Tanzania.
The ceremony was attended by top Government leaders led by President Jakaya Kikwete, Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda and scores of foreign dignitaries, including the Common Wealth election observer team leader and former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan as well as Armando Guebuza of Mozambique.

The main opposition challenger for the race Mr Edward Lowassa who has disputed the election outcome did not attend the function but other smaller candidates were in attendance
Magufuli won the tight race with 8.8 million votes, beating his closest rival with a margin of 2.8 million votes. Speaking on behalf of the opposition, Anna Mghwira of ACT-Wazalendo accepted the victory of Dr Magufuli and challenged him to implement the ‘change’ which was used by political parties during the campaign. “I beg the president-elect to implement ‘change’ which is the desire of all Tanzanians.

The first change is to bring us a new constitution which will be the product of the people’s opinions and other significant changes will follow,” said Mghwira. According to Mghwira, Dk Magufuli has to strengthen national unity, to promote gender-equality, and to improve the economy and fight poverty.

European Union Shows Its Concern Over The Cancellation of The Zanzibar Election Results


The Delegation of the European Union has said expressed its disappointment over cancellation of the Zanzibar election results.
According to the statement released today in Dar es Salaam, the delegation supports the statement issued by the international observer missions yesterday.

The EU said in the statement that it is very concerned by the decision by ZEC Chairman to annul the election results because before he took such a move there were no any indication of irregularities.
The statement adds that the move to annul the results was amazing since all the international observers gave a positive assessment of the quality of the voting process.

“The Delegation of the European Union calls on ZEC to find a way forward that respects the will expressed by the Zanzibar people in the polls on October 26,” reads part of the statement.
It further urges ZEC to resume and complete the tallying and announcement of vote results swiftly.
It also calls on the CCM and CUF leadership to let their supporters remain calm, while they plan for constructive dialogue as the primary mean to resolve differences.

“The two political parties, as members of the Government of National Unity of Zanzibar, should make every effort to preserve the democratic and economic gains acquired following many years of effort,” says the statement.

CCM Wins 132 constituencies out of 176


Dar es Salaam. Out of 176 parliamentary seats out of the 264 constituencies, CCM had scooped 132 constituencies followed by Chadema with 33, CUF nine and one each for NCCR-Mageuzi and ACT-Wazalendo.
The results announced by returning officers in respective constituencies indicated that CCM still occupies in its strongholds in Morogoro, Dodoma, Tanga, Tabora and Mtwara regions.

Chadema and CUF took over some of CCM’s long time monopolies in Bukoba Urban, Tanga Urban, Kinondoni and Temeke in Dar es Salaam, Mbozi in Mbeya Region and Simanjiro in Manyara Region.
 Chadema continued to dictate its political prowess in Kilimanjaro, Arusha and Mbeya where it scooped almost all constituencies leaving only one or two to the ruling party.
 
Chadema had teamed up with the Civic United Front (CUF), the National League for Democracy (NLD) and NCCR-Mageuzi in a coalition called Ukawa.
NCCR-Mageuzi managed to grab only one seat in Vunjo taking it over from Tanzania Labour Party’s Augustine Mrema.
But NLD performed disastrously after it failed to win a single seat, and the party was immensely affected following the death of its chairman, Mr Emmanuel Makaidi, who was vying for Masasi constituency in Mtwara Region.

CUF  also had its share of the parliamentary seats when until yesterday it boasted of nine seats from last Parliament’s two seats of Kilwa South and Lindi Urban.
And newcomers ACT-Wazalendo party headed by young politician Zitto Kabwe also left an indelible mark in Tanzania’s politics when the party bagged the Kigoma Urban constituency which for a long time was occupied by Mr Zitto when he was a member of Chadema.

All in all, the 2015 parliamentary elections were very competitive and saw political heavyweights, especially from the ruling CCM being defeated by youthful candidates.

More female MPs to National Assembly


Dar es Salaam. The October 2015 General Elections have increased the number of elected female MPs, adding to the growing voices of women in the National Assembly.
 The new female MPs from different political parties will join the usual suspects such as the ruling CCM’s Jenista Mhagama representing Peramiho constituency in Ruvuma Region and Chadema’s Halima Mdee representing Kawe constituency in Dar es Salaam Region.

According to parliamentary election results; the new faces include Mboni Mhita (Handeni Rural—CCM), Ester Bulaya, an immediate former CCM special seats MP.
 Bulaya crossed to Chadema in July and won the Bunda parliamentary seat after beating  Mr Stephen Wassira, long-time MP on the ticket of the ruling CCM.

 Bulaya who crossed to Chadema in July scooped 25,508 votes against Wassira’s 19,126 votes.
 Another female MP, who decided to do away with the special seats slot and vie for an electoral parliamentary seat Esther Matiko of Chadema was declared a winner for the Tarime Urban constituency after scooping 20,017 votes against 14,025 votes for Mr Michael Kembaki of CCM.

 “During the campaign rallies I promised Tarime residents that I will work with them to develop our constituency; I just want to assure them that I will honour the promise,” said Ms Matiko.
Other new female MPs are Pauline Gekul (Babati-Chadema), Janeth Mbene (Ileje-CCM), Susan Kiwanga (Mlimba-Chadema), Angelina Mabula (Ilemela-CCM), Magdalena Sakaya (Kaliua-Cuf) and Mary Chatanda (Korogwe Urban-CCM).
These new faces will join veterans such as Mary Nagu (Hanang-CCM) and Margaret Sitta (Urambo-CCM).

Maalim Seif asks Kikwete, Shein to Take leadership responsibility


Zanzibar’s CUF presidential candidate, Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad, has asked presidents Jakaya Kikwete and Ali Mohamed Shein to  observe constitutions and laws of the land during their last days of leadership:
“I sincerely call upon president Kikwete and president Shein to avoid using excessive force and cooperate in maintaining peace and protecting the rights of wananchi. I’m ready to cooperate with them as I have been doing all the time. We need to cooperate to save Zanzibar and Tanzania from the international disgrace,” Maalim Seif said.

Speaking about the cancellation of election results, Maalim Seif said it was a personal statement by the chairman of the Zanzibar Electoral Commission (ZEC), Jecha Salum Jecha, adding that CUF has been given strength following the statements by two ZEC commissioners who confirmed that Jecha’s statement was personal.

John Magufuli declared winner of Tanzanian presidential election


John Pombe Magufuli, the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi party candidate, has won the Tanzanian presidential election.
Dr Magufuli won the election with 58.46 per cent of the vote, the National Electoral Commission announced on Thursday afternoon.
The opposition Chadema party, whose candidate Edward Lowassa came second with 39 per cent, declined to sign the consent forms.
The refusal followed earlier claims of fraud and demands for a recount of the tightly contested election.
Dr Magufuli, 56, a minister in the outgoing government led by retiring President Jakaya Kikwete, received 8.8 million votes to Mr Lowassa’s 6 million.

His win continues CCM’s grip on power in Tanzania after governing the country since independence in 1961.
Election observers have called for a speedy resolution of the stalemate in Zanzibar, the semi-autonomous islands that make up the union with Tanzania, where elections were annulled on Wednesday over allegations of fraud.

EAC releases poll result report


 Arusha. The East African Community (EAC) has released a preliminary report on last Sunday's polls stating it is concerned by the number disputes arising from disputed presidential results.
"There is need to establish a mechanism to manage disputes caused by presidential results", the report signed by the Head of the EAC Observer Mission Mr. Moody Awori stated.

Mr. Awor is a  former vice president of Kenya and headed a 55-member team from the Community to observe the Tanzanian polls.
The report comes amid claims by the Coalition of People's Constitution (Ukawa) that NEC's poll results favour the ruling CCM party, an allegation the commission has vehemently refuted.
This year's poll for a  Union president is a two-horse race between CCM's Dr. John Pombe Magufuli and  the Ukawa presidential candidate, Edward Lowassa, the former prime minister who defected to the opposition recently.

The EAC, which deployed 18 teams of observers to various parts of the country, including Zanzibar, was not categorical on what can be done about   disputed presidential votes but suggested the system should be reviewed to benefit all parties.

NEC results lack transparency:TACCEO


Dar es Salaam. According to Tanzanian Civil Society Consortium on Election Observation (TACCEO), there is lack of transparency in the ongoing tallying of votes, casting doubt on the accuracy of figures released by the National Electoral Commission (NEC).

The report came barely a day after the European Union (EU) expressed concern about lack of transparency in electoral bodies in the Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar.
However, the African Union (AU) and SADC observers have described the exercise as free, fair, transparent, credible and peaceful.

At a joint press conference in Dar es Salaam today, TACCEO chairperson Martina Kabisama said there was excessive use of force by security organs which was contrary to human rights. “Police officers were using tear gas canisters and beating citizens something which is against human rights and these acts have happened in different constituencies,’’ she said.

Therefore, she suggested that stop applying excessive force towards civilians because by doing so they are making people to believe that in order to have democracy, chaos is inevitable.

Wife of celebrated hip-hop singer, 2Face Idibia, Annie Idibia, has shaved her hair in a bid to create awareness for breast cancer among women in the society and the importance of early detection through regular check-ups.

The month of October is mostly dedicated for the campaign and since the beginning of the month, several campaigns have been organized for cancer awareness. Annie, as part of her own contribution, shaved her hair.

She noted that, “Recent studies have shown that 20% of breast cancer is discovered by self examination rather than mammography and we must realise that cancer is not a respecter of persons. It could happen to anyone, even I Annie Idibia. “Imagine the lives that will be saved if more women physically checked themselves on a regular basis, imagine if we could stand against breast cancer by fighting the odds via self examination. Let’s save the life of a woman today, let ‘s examine ourselves today!” -

How many times can you use a Towel before It Needs to Be Washed?


How many times can you use a Towel before It Needs to Be Washed?"

Every time after taking a bath, we use our towels to clean our self...     But, the Question is.. How Many Times Can You Use your Bath Towel Before It Needs to Be Washed?

According to Yahoo, Consumer and environmental health agencies suggested that you can only use your towel at least Three or four times and wash it.  Using it  longer than that your  towels can breed bacteria and mold.

Using a towel for a long period of time without washing it will start to smell, because of the moisture which helps bacteria AND fungus (i.e. mold) grow.

Bacterias can be killed when you wash your towel, but fungus is extremely hard to get rid of - and cleaning it won't really do much.

Here is How you can Keeping Your Towels Clean
  1. Hang your towels properly
  2. After using your towel, Spread them out on the rack (not bunched up) so they dry thoroughly.
  3. Before taking a shower, open the door and, if you have one, turn on the bathroom fan while bathing, so the air is less humid.
  4. If your in a humid environment where towels cannot be dried completely, a new towel needs to be used for each shower/bath.
  5. If you live in a sunny place where you can air and sun dry your towel everyday after use, I think you can safely use it for at least 4 days

Remember, At least have more than one towel so that when you wash your towel.. you can use the other one and rest one towel to dry properly.

So Tell us, How Many Times Do You Use A Bath Towel Before Washing It?
