Wanadiaspora wameelezea wasiwasi wao kuwa sheria mpya ya Makosa Ya Mtandao iliyoanza kufanya kazi tarehe mosi mwezi huu nchini Tanzania, huenda ikaishia Chumbe, imefahamika.

Hayo yamekuja kwenye kongamano maalum lililoandaliwa na Jumuiya Ya Wazanzibari Waishio nchini Marekani (ZADIA) kujadili Sheria Mpya ya Makosa Ya Mtandao na Athari zake Kisiasa.

Wageni rasmi katika kongamano hilo lililofanyika kwa njia ya simu walikua ni Mwandishi khabari Bi Salma Said, na Mwanadiplomasia mstaafu Bw. Muhammed Yussuf Mshamba.

Utata wa Kisheria:

Akizungumza kwenye kongamano hilo, Bi Salma Said alisema kuwa sheria hii itakuwa na utata kutokana na jinsi ya mchakato mzima wa kuipitisha ulivyokwenda. "Sheria imepitishwa kimabavu, kwani wadau wote hawakushirikiswa, pia ilipitishwa wakati Wabunge wa upinzani wakiwa wametoka Bungeni" alifafanua Bi Salma na kuongeza kuwa Baraza la Wahariri Tanzania liliikataa sheria hiyo na kupitisha azimio la kumshauri rais Kikwete asiitie saini, lakini Mheshimiwa rais aliitia saini.

Kwa upande wake, Bwana Muhammed Yussuf Mshamba ambaye pia ni Kada wa Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), alielezea wasiwasi wake juu ya uwezekano wa sheria hiyo kutekelezeka kwa vile mfumo uliotumika kuiptisha haukukidhi haja.

Akizungumza katika kongamano hilo, Bwana Mshamba ambaye aliwahi kuwa mtia nia wa kuwania urais wa Zanzibar kwa tiketi ya CCM alisema "Sharia ile ilipitishwa na Bunge la Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, lakini Zanzibar hawakupata nafasi ya kuiangalia".

"Kwa mujibu wa kifungu cha 234 cha Katiba ya Zanzibar, sharia zote zinazopitishwa na Bunge la Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania na ambazo zinatakiwa kutumika Zanzibar na Bara, kwa mujibu wa kipengele kile ni lazima Baraza la Wawakilishi la Zanzibar lipewe nafasi ya kuziangalia". 

Alisema Bwana Mshamba na kuongeza kuwa, sheria ile ilipitishwa wakati Baraza la Wawakilishi limeshavunjwa na hakukuwa na njia ya kuliitisha angalau kwa kikao cha dharura ili kuweza kuijadili.

Waziri Mukangara azindua Mfumo wa kununua Filamu kwa njia ya Mtandao

Na. Benjamin Sawe

Waziri wa Habari, Vijana, Utamaduni na Michezo Dr. Fenella Mukangara amewasihi wadau wa filamu kuongeza ujuzi na kubadilika ili kuendana na mabadiliko yanayotokea ulimwenguni katika masuala yanayohusu tasnia hiyo hasa katika suala zima la teknolojia ya uandaaji na usambazaji wa filamu.

Hayo aliyasema jana jijini Dar es Salaam katika hafla ya uzinduzi wa uuzaji wa filamu za Kitanzania kwa njia ya mtandao ambao mfumo huo umebuniwa na kampuni ya Proin Promotion Limited ya nchi.

Dr. Mukangara alisema hatua hiyo ni fursa muhimu katika kupanua wigo wa soko na kuendana na mabadiliko yanayotokea duniani katika kila nyanja ikiwemo mauzo ya filamu kwa nja ya mtandao.

“Ipo aja kwa wadau wetu kupanua eneo la mauzo ya kazi za filamu kwa kutumia mifumo ya kisasa katika usambazaji na uuzaji wa kazi ikiwemo mauzo na manunuzi kwa njia ya mtandao”.Alisema Dr. Mukangara

Alisema njia hiyo ikitumiwa vizuri itakuwa na faida nyingi ikiwa ni pamoja na kuwawezesha wadau kuongeza idadi ya wanunuzi wa kazi za filamu kwani zitaweza kuwafikia watu sehemu mbalimbali ulimweguni kwa urahisi pamoja na kuwawezesha wafanyabiashara wadogo kushindana na wafanyabiashara wakubwa kupitia kazi watakazozizalisha.

Alizitaja faida nyingine nia pamoja na kupata wafadhili na misaada mbalimbali kutoka kwa wadau wa filamu ulimwenguni ikiwa ni pamoja na kupata faida zaidi kutokana na kuongezeka kwa idadi ya wanunuzi wa kazi zao.

Akizungumza katika uzinduzi huo Mwenyekiti wa Kampuni ya Proin Promotion Bw. Johnson Lukaza alisema kunachangamoto ya jinsi ya kudhibiti maharamia wanaoiba kazi za wasanii amabazo wanazifanya kwa jasho na manufaa wanayopata huwa finyu.

“Tunatumaini njia hii huenda ikaleta nafuu ya kipato zaidi kulingana na hali ilivyo sasa kwa kuongeza wigo wa mauzo ambao kwa sasa utakuwa ni wa urahisi duniani kote”.Alisema Bw. Lukaza.

Alisema kampuni yake hainunui haki za msanii bali inampa mrahaba wa kila nakala ambayo inauzwa ambapo mfumo huo unaongeza kila nakala ambayo itakuwa imenunuliwa hivyo kumfanya msanii kufaidika kwa kila nakala inayouzwa na kwa wakati wowote

“Sasa hivi wasanii watapata fursa ya kuuza kazi zao kupitia mtandaoni hata kaziwalizofanya miaka ya nyuma na kuanza kufaidika tena pamoja na vizazi vyao.”Alisema Bw. Johson.

Teteeni nchi badala ya kuiponda kwenye mablogu - Rais Kikwete awaambia Watanzania

Teteeni nchi badala ya kuiponda kwenye mablogu, Rais Kikwete awaambia Watanzania

TAARIFA KWA VYOMBO VYA HABARI

• Teteeni nchi badala ya kuiponda kwenye mablogu, Rais Kikwete awaambia Watanzania 

Watanzania waishio nje Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, Mheshimiwa Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete amesema wajibu mkuu wa Watanzania wanaoishi nje ya nchi ni kuisemea vizuri, kuihangaikia na kuitetea nchi badala ya kushinda kwenye mablogu wakiiponda, kuibeza na kulalamika.

Aidha, Rais Kikwete amesema kuwa kuishi kwa Watanzania nje ya nchi kutaonekana jambo la maana zaidi ikiwa watatumia rasilimali na fursa wanazozipata ugenini kusaidia kubadilisha hali na maisha ya ndugu zao waliobakia Tanzania.

Rais Kikwete pia amewaonya Watanzania hao wasije kuchanganyikiwa na kujichanganya wenyewe kwa kuiga tamaduni za kigeni kupita kiasi. 

Rais Kikwete alikuwa anazungumza na Watanzania waishio nchini Poland usiku wa jana, Alhamisi, Novemba 21, 2013, kwenye Hoteli ya Bristol mjini Warsaw ambako alifikia wakati wa ziara yake ya kikazi ya siku nne katika Poland.

Aliwaambia Watanzania hao na familia zao: “Matumaini na matarajio yetu sisi tuliobakia nyumbani ni kwamba mtaisemea vizuri nchi yetu, mtaitetea nchi yenu, mtaihangaikia nchi na kuleta faida nyumbani. Ni jambo haliingii akilini kuwa baadhi yenu mnaweza kuishi hapa na kazi yenu ikawa ni kushinda kwenye mablogu mkilaumu nchi yenu wenyewe. Nchi mbaya,
viongozi hawafai..mnapata faida gani. Mnazo nchi ngapi?”

Aliongeza Rais Kikwete: “Kuhangaikia nchi yetu ni wajibu wenu ambao hamwezi kuukwepa. Matumaini yetu ni kwamba asukuma mbele maslahi ya nchi yenu, mtatetea ustawi wa nchi yenu na ndugu zenu. Fursa zilizoko hapa mnazijua wenyewe, sisi hatuzijui. Nyie ndio mnaishi hapa, sisi tuko mbali na hatuwezi sisi kutegemewa na kutarajiwa tufanye
mambo ya hapa ambayo hatuyajui.”

Alisisitiza Rais Kikwete: “Mbona kazi za ma-Ngo’s mnazifanya vizuri bila kusukumwa ama kushawishiwa lakini kazi za kusaidia ndugu zenu hamfanyi? Kama hata hamwezi kusaidia ndugu zenu mnachangia nini nchi yenu?”
Rais amesema kuwa kwa Watanzania waishio nje kuonekana wanajali na kutetea nchi yao kutasaidia kujenga hoja ya msingi kuhusu umuhimu wa kuanzishwa kwa uraia pacha (dual citizenship) ambao Watanzania waishio nje wanaulilia. “Mnaweza kuhalalisha hoja ya uraia pacha kwa kuwa watu wenye faida kwa nchi.”

Kuhusu ombi lao la uraia pacha, Rais Kikwete amesema kuwa ni wajibu wa Watanzania waishio nje kuongeza kasi ya kuchangia mjadala kuhusu suala hilo ili likubaliwe kuingizwa kwenye Katiba Mpya.

“Rasimu ya kwanza ya Katiba ililikataa jambo hilo kwa sababu hili ni jambo lisilokuwa na ushabiki na upenzi mwingi nyumbani. Ujumbe wangu kwenu ni jipangeni vizuri kutetea hoja yenu hii. Saidieni mjadala wa jambo hilo badala ya
kushinda kwenye mablogu mkijadili siasa na hivyo kusahau yenye maslahi kwenu.”

Kuhusu kuiga tamaduni za nchi nyingine na kusahau za nyumbani, Rais Kikwete aliwaambia kuwa inaelekea kuwa baadhi wachache wanaoishi nje ya nchi, wamejichanganya na kuchanganyikiwa kiasi cha kusahau mambo ya kwao.

Rais Kikwete alitoa kauli hiyo baada ya mmoja wa Watanzania kudai kuwa suala zima la mahari limepitwa na wakati na kuwa kutoa mahari ni sawa ni kuwauza watoto wa kike.

Rais ambaye alionyesha kushangazwa na kauli hiyo, alijibu: “Msiige mambo ya kigeni kiasi cha kuanza kuchanganyikiwa.”

Rais wa Marekani Huenda Akawa na Mamlaka ya kuzima Mtandao!

Haya mazito. Huenda rais wa Marekani akawa na mamlaka ya kuzima mtandao (Internet) wakati wa dharura. Mfano ikitokea mashubulizi kama yale ya Septemba 11, 2001. Maisha ya leo bila mtandao sijui watu watafanyaje, na tuombe kama wata zima itakuwa kwa muda mfupi tu. Watu wanatumia mtandao kwa ajili ya mawasiliano rahisi, kufanya kazi na mambo mengi mno!

Kama mnakumbuka matukio ya Septemba 11, 2001, mtandao ulianguka shauri ya watu wengi kujaribu kutafuta habari. Watu walijiona kama vile wamepotea, ni mwisho wa dunia.

Internet Kill Switch Proposed For President

WASHINGTON (CBS4/CNET) ―

The days of freedom on the Internet, even during a time of national crisis, may be coming to an under a new U.S. Senate bill. The legislation would grant the president emergency powers to seize control of or even shut down portions of the Internet during times of national emergency.

It's been dubbed as an Internet "kill switch" the president could flip. However, the idea behind it is not new. A draft Senate proposal that CNET obtained in August allowed the White House to "declare a cybersecurity emergency," and another from Sens. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) would have explicitly given the government the power to "order the disconnection" of certain networks or Web sites.

The legislation announced Thursday says that companies such as broadband providers, search engines, or software firms that the government selects "shall immediately comply with any emergency measure or action developed" by the Department of Homeland Security. Anyone failing to comply would be fined.

That emergency authority would allow the federal government to "preserve those networks and assets and our country and protect our people," Joe Lieberman, the primary sponsor of the measure and the chairman of the Homeland Security committee, told reporters on Thursday. Lieberman is an independent senator from Connecticut who caucuses with the Democrats.

Lieberman's bill is formally titled the Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, or PCNAA. Under PCNAA, the federal government's power to force private companies to comply with emergency decrees would become unusually broad.

Any company on a list created by Homeland Security that also "relies on" the Internet, the telephone system, or any other component of the U.S. "information infrastructure" would be subject to command by a new National Center for Cybersecurity and Communications (NCCC) that would be created inside Homeland Security.

Afrika Mashariki Yapata High Speed Internet

Hebu cheki hii stori, Rais Kikwete kaitwa Josiah Kikwete! Lakini bora tumeingia kwenye karne ya 21 sasa!

Cable makes big promises for African Internet

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (CNN) -- A undersea cable plugging East Africa into high speed Internet access went live Thursday providing an alternative to expensive satellite connections.

The cable links southern Africa to Europe and Asia. SEACOM, the cable provider company, opened up its 17000 kilometer submarine cable, capable of 1.28 terabytes per second, allowing the region true connectivity.

Most Africans rely on expensive and slow satellite connections, which make the use of applications such as YouTube and Facebook extremely trying.

"This is going to reduce the cost of doing business in Africa, within Africa and with international parties" said Suveer Ramdhani, SEACOM spokesman in South Africa.

"The cable is as thin as a hair strand and in one second it can download the same amount of data that 160 people use in a month."

SEACOM, privately funded and 75 % African owned, will provide retail carriers with open source access to inexpensive bandwidth.

It has taken less than three years to complete the mammoth project, providing landing stations at South Africa, Kenya, Madagascar and other points along the east coast of Africa.

But telecoms analyst James Hodge said that some of the more ambitious hopes for the system -- such as impacting the continent's socio-economic problems -- will be long-term, and that initially it will be those already connected who will see the benefits.

The launch was delayed by a month because of increased activity by pirates along parts of the African coast.

Security teams were beefed up to protect the slow moving cable layers.

Neotel, a South African communications network operator is the largest shareholder in SEACOM.

It is also the anchor tenant and the South African landing partner, providing both the coastal landing station and Johannesburg data center for the submarine cable.

Neotel managing director Jay Pandey is excited about the opportunities for growth presented by the SEACOM cable.

"With this cable coming in, the pipe size opens up, so more and more people are able to get faster and better connectivity, hopefully at a lower price. It can't be more expensive than what it is today."

SEACOM chief executive officer Brian Herlihy added: "Turning the switch 'on' creates a huge anticipation but ultimately, SEACOM will be judged on the changes that take place on the continent over the coming years."

South Africa has been hobbled by high costs and extremely slow bandwidth, effectively keeping the country on an information back road rather then the superhighway.

There is much anticipation and hope that the cable will ensure Africa keeps up with the developed world in Internet connectivity, providing greater speed, flexibility and, potentially, a complete socio-economic transformation.

Tanzanian President Josiah Kikwete said in his opening address: "It's the ultimate embodiment of modernity."

His speech was beamed via SEACOM from a launch in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania to the simultaneous launch in Johannesburg, South Africa
