YAH: VIPAUMBELE VYA KAMBA YA UPINZANI KWA MWAKA WA FEDHA 2012/2013

Ndg. Waandishi wa Habari
Mwaka 2011/2012 Kambi ya Upinzani Bungeni ilitangaza Vipaumbele vyake katika Bajeti Mbadala ambavyo vilikuwa:

1.    Kupunguza misamaha ya kodi mpaka 1% ya pato la Taifa kutoka 3%

2.    Kupunguza kodi kwenye bidhaa za mafuta ya petrol na dizeli ili kupunguza mfumuko wa bei

3.    Kufuta mfumo wa posho za vikao (Sitting allowances).

4.     Kupeleka sehemu ya tozo ya ujuzi (Skills Development levy-SDL) kwenye bodi ya mikopo ya  elimu ya juu.

Masuala haya pamoja na mengine yalikuwa sehemu ya Bajeti kivuli iliyowasilishwa Bungeni na Kambi ya Upinzani.

Mapendekezo mawili,
(1) Kodi za mafuta ya Petrol na Diseli na
(2) Tozo ya SDL yalikubaliwa na kutekelezwa. Pendekezo la misamaha ya kodi lilikubaliwa  lakini Serikali imeshindwa kulitekeleza na pendekezo la kufutilia mbali posho za vikao halikukubaliwa.

Kambi Rasmi ya Upinzani inataka maelezo ya kina ya kwa nini Serikali imeshindwa kutekeleza ahadi yake iliyoitoa Bungeni kwamba misamaha ya kodi itapungizwa mpaka kufikia 1% ya pato la Taifa. Halikadhalika Kambi ya Upinzani inarejea wito wake wa kufutwa kwa Mfumo wa posho za vikao (sitting allowances).
Serikali imependekeza Bajeti ya Tshs. 15trillioni kutoka Tshs. 13 trillion. Hata hivyo ni dhahiri kwamba Bajeti ya 2011/12 ilikuwa ina changamoto kubwa za utekelezaji. Serikali ieleze itawezaje kutekeleza Bajeti ya 15trillioni?
Katika Bajeti Mbadala ya 2012/2013 Kambi ya Upinzani itajikita katika maeneo yafuatayo na kuishinikiza Serikali kuyatekeleza.

1. Kuendelea kushinikiza kupunguzwa kwa misamaha ya kodi mpaka 1% ya Pato la Taifa. Hivi sasa misamaha ya kodi ni sawa na misaada yote kutoka nchi wahisani, Tshs 1.03 trillioni ni sawa na 3% ya Pato la Taifa.

2. Kuelekeza raslimali fedha kwenye maendeleo vijijini hasa kujenga miundombinu kama barabara za vijijini na umeme vijijini.

3. Kuelekeza fedha za kutosha  kukarabati Reli ya Kati na kufufua njia za Reli za Tanga, Moshi na Arusha.

4. Kuongeza wigo wa kutoza  tozo la ujuzi (Skills Development Levy) ambapo sasa waajiri wote walipe ikiwemo Serikali na mashirika ya umma. Pia kupunguza tozo hili mpaka 4% ambapo 1/3 itaenda VETA na vyuo vya Ufundi na 2/3 itaenda Bodi ya Mikopo ili kukabili changamoto ya mikopo kwa wanafunzi.

5. Kushusha kima cha chini cha kodi ya mapato (PAYE) mpaka 9% ili kuwezesha wananchi wa hali ya chini kubaki na fedha za kutumia na kukuza uchumi.

6. Kuongeza mapato ya ndani na kupunguza mikopo ya kibiashara kwa kuhakikisha mapato ya ndani yanafikia 20% ya pato la taifa, kuongeza nguvu za kisheria na udhibiti ili TRA ikusanye mapato zaidi kwenye kampuni za simu na kwenye shughuli za uchimbaji wa madini, mafuta na gesi.

7. Kutayarisha Taifa kuwa na uchumi wa Gesi.

8. Kupunguza /kufuta kodi kwenye bidhaaa za vyakula kwa muda maalum ili kushusha mfumuko wa bei.

9. Kuweka mfumo mpya wa elimu kwa kushirikisha sekta binafsi katika kutoa elimu kwa ubora zaidi, ikiwemo kuundwa kwa chombo cha Udhibiti wa Elimu(Regulatory authority)

10. Kutoa vipaumbele na unafuu vya kikodi kwa viwanda vya ndani vinavyotumia malighafi za nchni hasa za kilimo na zenye kuongeza ajira kama Korosho,Pamba na Mkonge.

Kambi ya Upinzani itaendelea kufuatilia kwa karibu sana suala la kukua kwa deni la Taifa amabalo limefikia hadi Tshs 22 trillioni na kutaka ukaguzi maalum kuhusu akaunti ya Deni la Taifa.

Kambi ya Upinzani itawekeza kusimamia kwa karibu suala la matumizi yasiyo na tija ya Serikali hasa kwenye  magari na posho mbalimbali na Kwamba  fedha nyingi zitumike kwa miradi  mikubwa ya maendeleo ili kukuza ajira. Halikadhalika namna ya kupta fedha za kutekeleza mpango wa Maendeleo wa Miaka mitano

Asanteni sana!

A CANDID INTERVIEW WITH COMEDIAN EVANS BUKUKU

Just a couple of years ago, stand-up comedy were not very popular in Tanzania. In fact, it was almost non-existing. If it was, then it was done in very informal settings such as in the streets or local bars and not so much in prearranged settings whereby the audiences are well seated and eagerly waiting to be entertained and laugh to the point of shedding those tears of a good laugh. I am talking about the laugh that makes your entire body vibrate like a Samsung’s hand held gadget!

However, the above scenario of lack of organized stand-ups is changing or has changed. Thanks to one man who, according to his own words, he is almost on a “crusade” to change how and where we can go and have a good laugh. His name is Evans Bukuku.

He is now, by far, the new face or our own definition of Stand-Up comedy in Tanzania. He is best known for his once a month(every last Tuesday of the Month) smart and hilarious stand-up comedy routines  that features him making funny of almost everything in simple and  unique ways that makes everyone in the audience laugh hard (and I mean real hard).

He is also gifted with using a plethora of different voice impressions from the Jaluo, Sukuma, Chagga and you name it…all in the name of bringing real entertainment to his audience.

If you have never attended one of his events, mark your calendar. His next appearance is on Tuesday 26th June 2012 at Nyumbani Lounge which is located near Best Bite in Namanga area.

But before going to see him and even if you have seen him before and just can’t get tired of him, I thought we’d all like to know a bit more about him. I therefore tracked him down and he granted you (through me) this exclusive interview. Below are the excerpts;

Hi Evans! It feels great to have you on BC. Welcome. How is it going?

EB: Hey Jeff, thanks for having me. I’ve heard of your work and I am humbled to have this opportunity. I’m doing well (Thank God) but it’s still a rough road ahead. . .

BC: Since this is your first time on BC, I have to ask you this otherwise some of our own fans will be pissed. Where were you born and where did you grow up, schools you attended and anything you like to share with us about your history.

EB: I was born in Shinyanga, Tanzania; my father was in the mining business. I did pre-school there in Shinyanga, but at the age of four my dad was posted to London UK. I then studied there in South East England (really good schools) up until my O-levels, whereby my Dad was recalled to Tanzania. Then I studied in Iringa (really bad govt. school) and had the biggest cultural shock ever! (It just wore off last month!)

BC: Comedy is art. How has your life influenced your art? What influenced you to get into comedy? Is this what you wanted to do since childhood or you are one of those people who got themselves doing what they are doing by “accident”?

EB: Life hasn’t influenced my art, rather life IS my art, especially when it comes to Standup Comedy. All the anecdotes, jokes, observations and impromptu are just reflections of my life. My friends influenced me to get into comedy; at a young age (11yrs) I was told “you should be a comedian’ but I could never get enough courage to tell my dad (knowing African dads, that would be a short conversation) so ended up buffooning around friends, but having a different kind of persona when with family. I never got into comedy by accident, and ever since I officially signed up, my vision has never been clearer.

BC: How was your first experience as a stand-up comedian? Were you nervous? How did you prepare yourself for such an experience?

EB: My very first stand-up experience was in a church ;) . My aunt thought I could make a few people laugh, and I could do a good Onyango impression (Jaluo accent), so she ‘pushed’ me to standup and make people laugh. I tied a handkerchief on my hand then tried to make a joke about how I tried to wash my TV with soap and water. Precisely; it wasn’t funny, I mumbled a few things then went to sit down and forget about the whole episode . . .

LAMECK DITTO: ALIPOTOKA,ALIPO NA ANAPOOTA KUFIKA(INTERVIEW)

Historia inaonyesha kwamba wanamuziki wengi hupitia vikwazo vingi mpaka kufikia mafanikio. Ni hali halisi ambayo bila shaka inaeleweka ukizingatia utitiri wa vijana wenye vipaji vya kuimba na hata kutunga au kuandika nyimbo. Wapo wengi.Katika sanaa ya muziki kuna kukataliwa, kuna kuambiwa huwezi, hujui kitu na huwezi kufika mbali.

Pamoja na ukweli huo, kuamua kuendelea au kukubaliana na “maoni” ya wadau na kuachana na muziki, kunategemea mambo kadhaa ikiwemo imani binafsi kama unaweza au huwezi. Ukiambiwa huwezi na wewe ukakubaliana na hoja hiyo,bila shaka utakuwa umefikia mwisho wa ndoto.Unaamka.
