RAIS DKT JOHN POMBE MAGUFULI AMSIMAMISHA KAZI MKURUGENZI WA TCRA

Rais Magufuli alipofanya Mkutano na Bodi ya Mamlaka ya Mawasiliano Tanzania (TCRA).

Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania Dkt. John Pombe Magufuli ameivunja Bodi ya Mamlaka ya Mawasiliano Tanzania (TCRA) na kumsimamisha kazi Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa Mamlaka hiyo Dkt. Ally Yahaya Simba kutokana na kutosimamia ipasavyo Mkataba wa utekelezaji wa mfumo wa usimamizi wa mawasiliano ya simu (TTMS), na kusababisha nchi kupoteza mapato ya takriban shilingi bilioni 400 kwa mwaka.

Rais Magufuli amechukua hatua hiyo leo tarehe 26 Aprili, 2016 Ikulu Jijini Dar es salaam baada ya kufanya kikao cha kazi kati yake na viongozi na wataalamu kutoka Wizara ya Ujenzi, Mawasiliano na Uchukuzi, Wizara ya fedha na Mipango na Taasisi ya Kuzuia na Kupambana na Rushwa (TAKUKURU).

Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa Mamlaka ya Mawasiliano nchini (TCRA), Dkt. Ally Yahaya Simba.

Tarehe 22 Machi, 2013 Mamlaka ya Mawasiliano nchini (TCRA) iliingia mkataba na kampuni ya SGS juu ya uwekaji, uendeshaji na uhamishaji wa mapato ya simu ambapo kampuni hiyo ilipaswa kutekeleza vipengele vitano lakini mpaka sasa kampuni ya SGS haijaanza kutekeleza kipengele kidogo kinachohusiana na uthibiti wa mapato ya simu za ndani (Offnet), hali ambayo imesababisha serikali kukosa mapato yanayokadiriwa kuwa shilingi bilioni 400 kwa mwaka.

Pamoja na kuivunja bodi ya TCRA inayoongozwa na Profesa Haji Semboja na Kumsimamisha kazi Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa TCRA Dkt. Ally Yahaya Simba, Rais Magufuli pia amemuagiza Waziri wa Ujenzi, Mawasiliano na Uchukuzi Profesa Makame Mbarawa Mnyaa kumteua Kaimu Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa Mamlaka hiyo mara moja.

Aidha, Rais Magufuli amewataka Waziri Prof. Mbarawa, Katibu Mkuu na Naibu Katibu katika wizara hiyo kuchukua hatua mara moja ili mfumo wa ukusanyaji wa mapato ya simu kwa simu za ndani (Offnet) uanze kufanya kazi, na nchi ipate mapato yanayostahili kukusanywa.

“Waziri hakikisha unachukua hatua mara moja, nataka tukusanye mapato yote ya serikali yanayostahili na sitasita kuchukua hatua dhidi ya yoyote atakayekwamisha jambo hili” Amesisitiza Rais Magufuli.

Dr.Kwame Nkuruma Osagyefo and Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere both had a vision for a united Africa, which has been the subject of discussion since 1963. It has led to the African Union (formerly Organization of African Unity- OAU) coming up with Africa Agenda 2063, which is an ambitious vision for Africa. In it, as narrated by outgoing AU chair Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, is an Africa that is leading in Trade, e-commerce, innovation, space exploration, technology, Education, Quality infrastructure connecting the whole of Africa, one currency, one leader and a united people without borders or barriers, borderless Africa among many other progressive visions. Thomas Sankara of the Bukinabbe had a vision for an Africa infested with upright men, before the enemies of progress cut his life short just like they did to Patrice Emery Lumumba of the Du-Congo. But Africa has never been short of Visionary young men and women,Africa has a crop of quick growing leaders,entrepreneurs and innovators. They are taking charge of their destiny, transforming the continent and rewriting is future. They are living the African dream and solving critical socio-economic problems like poverty, disease, unemployment, corruption, illiteracy among many other problems.
