Tunaposema kilimo tunamaananisha ukosefu wa NGANO ya kutokasha kutapelekea baadhi ya mataifa kufa njaa. Kwa sababu wakulima wawili wapo kwenye mapambano ya kutaka kutanua ardhi zao kwa ajili ya kilimo ama kisiasa Zaidi.<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Na tunaposema kilimo, tukumbuke kwamba Urusi ndio msambazaji mkubwa wa mbole na huhitajika karibu mataifa yote iwe Afrika, Ulaya na hata Marekani ambao waliowengi wanaona kwamba hili ndio taifa pekee lenye nguvu duniani, kumbe sivyo ilivyo, wao<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>ni wasaka tonge tu.<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Kwa maana hiyo, upo uwezekano mkubwa kwa sekta ya kilimo nchini, kuteterekea kwa kiasi kikubwa katika kipindi hiki cha vita, si tu Tanzania au Afrika bali kwa mataifa mengineya Ulaya na Amerika pia.<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Ila kwa kuwa kila aliaye hulia mama yangu, na hakuna anayelia ambaye husema mama yetu hata kama msiba unawahusu ndugu wa ukoo mmoja, hivyo basi ipo haja kwa wizara husika kufikiria njia mdala kabla athari hajianza kuwa kubwa kwa wakulima wetu kwa ajili ya kukosa mbolea (pembejeo).<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Athari nyengine, ambapo imeanza kuonekan ni mfumuko wa bei ya ngano kutoka 2,000/- bei ya awali hadi kufikia 2,600/- bei ya sasa kwa kisiangizo eti cha mapambano kati ya mafahali wawili wa ulaya.<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Hatukatai kama kuna vita, bali wafanya biashara manatakiwa kuwa waadilifu, kwa sababu ngano ambayo ipo sokoni imeingizwa lini nchini?

Mbona hatujasikia UN kuiwekea vikwaza Saudi Arabia kwa kuvamia Yemeni kwa zaidi ya miaka saba vita vinaendelea na watoto, wazee wangapi wanakufa hapo? Mbona hatujsaikia UN kuchukuwa hatua yoyote kwa serikali ya Mymary kwa kuwa watu wajamii ya Rohingya?

Alichokifanya Urusi na uvamizi wa NATO ni dhambi moja tu wote wameuwa na wanaendelea kuua bila ya sababu, ila kilichojitokeza hapo ni tofauti ya soji la punda tu, lakini punda ni yule yule.<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Tunayoyaeleza sio kwamba tunashabikia vita hivyo la hasa, ila kuwepo na uhalisi na ukweli wa taarifa sio kuwepo na ubaguzi wa taarifa, kama vikwazo vya kiuchumi vilivyoweka Urusi basi vilipaswa kabisawa kuwekewe Saudi arabi, Israel pamoja na nchi zpote wanachama wa NATO, aliyekuwa waziri mkuu wa Uingereza Tonny Blair alikiri hadharani kwamba walivamia Iraq kijesi bila ya hata sababu ya msingi, cha ajabu UN, Mahakama ya uhalifu wa kivita ipi, vyote vilivyamaza kimya na kuwasubiri viongozi wa Afrika akina Omar Al bashri kuwatia hatiani kwa vile wao akina NATO ni watakatifu hawana makaosa.<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Bado narudia kusema tena “vita vya panzi neema kwa kunguru” ipo haja kwa nchi za Afrika hasa Tanzania, kwa vile Mungu ame;libarikia taifa hili kuwa na maliasili nyingi na za kuitosheleza, kuanza kufikiria njia mbadala ya kupata nishati hasa ya mafuta na gesi.<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Kwa sababu kwa hali halis ilivyo sasa kutokana na vita na vikwaza vinavyoweke na baadhi ya mataifa vinaweza kulete madhara kwa makubwa na inawezekana kukwamisha harakati za kimaendeleo na mikakati ya taifa.<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Licha ya kwamba tunaweza tukawa na gesi na mafuta yetu, suala la msingi ni je yanatosheleza? Ikiwa hayatoshelezi ipo siku sekta ya usafiri wa bahari, anga na nchi kavu vinaweza vikateterekena kuitoka na mambo kama hayo ya vita, kwa hivyo ipo haja ya kufikiria mfumo mpya ma magari ama kutumia chaji au gesi.<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Mbali na mafuta na gesi, kitu cha pili ni sekta ya kilimo, vita vya Urusi na Ukraine iwe ni somo tosha kwa taifa, na mkazo sasa katika kilimo cha ngano.<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Ni lazima ufanyike utafiti wa kutoka kupia wizara husika ile ya kilimo na biashara kuweza kuwa na takwimu sahihi za uangizwaji wa ngano nchini upo kwa kiasi gani na serikali ifanye nini katika kukiimarisha kilimo hicho, kwa sababu mtegemea cha ndugu hufa masikini.<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Vita hivi vya kiuchumi kati ya Ulaya na Marekani, iwe ni fundisho tosha kwa mataifa ya Afrika na kunahitaka umoja thabiti wa Afrika ambao utaweza kusimamia si tu masuala ya kisiasa lakini kuwepo na mkakati maalumu wa kukusa na kusimamia sekta ya kilimo.<br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Wito wangu kwa Watanzani tunapaswa kujifunza nyakati badala ya kuwa washabiki wa baadhi ya mataifa kwa sababu tunayependa kulinga na wanavyoonekana kwenye maigizo ya Tv, kwa sababu kwana tofauti kubwa kati ya maisha halisi na maigizo ya kwenye Tv.</span></span></div>

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the investment required for adaptation in developing countries could range from USD 50 billion to USD 500 billion annually by 2050. The alternative funding will help Africa bolster its efforts for this course which currently depends only on Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) from IMF which was initiated in 2022.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br style="outline: none !important;" /></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold; outline: none !important;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Large climate financing needs</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The Covid-19 pandemic, the Russian-Ukrainian war, geopolitical fragmentation, and external shocks around the world have exacerbated the effects of climate change in developing countries, low-income countries, and Small Island and Developing States (SIDS), increasing the huge financing needs they already had. For example, Africa will need around USD 133 billion annually in clean energy investments to meet its energy and climate goals between 2026 and 2030, according to the Climate Policy Initiative . According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) , the investment required for adaptation in developing countries could range from USD 50 billion to USD 500 billion annually by 2050.

All sub-regions receive far less funding than they need. However, the Southern African region has the largest funding gap.

Central and East African countries have the largest climate investment gaps as a percentage of GDP: 26% and 23% on average, respectively.

Given that the access ceiling for eligible members is less than 150% of the quota or SDR 1 billion, and the starting point for determining access is an access standard of 75% of the quota member, this facility is far from being able to meet the needs of African countries in terms of climate finance. Indeed, when we estimate the total access ceiling for all African members eligible for the RST (around USD 31.3 billion), we realize that this amount is extremely low compared to the average annual needs of African countries (USD 243 billion) to cope with the effects of climate change. So even if loans were allocated under the RST every year - which is not the case – and even loans are meant to play a catalytic role, they would not be enough to meet the climate financing needs of African countries. Rwanda, for example, which has a government-estimated cost for new investments in adaptation projects of USD 11 billion, of which USD 6.9 billion is conditional on new financing , has received only USD 310 million to, among other things, strengthen its resilience to climate change. The effectiveness of the facility is limited because the loan quota is linked to their SDR quota, which depends on the size of their GDP. Countries with small economies and a significant need for climate finance are not favored.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br style="outline: none !important;" /></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold; outline: none !important;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Beyond IMF Financing</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">In this new climate reality, African countries need substantial and diversified funding to continue their economic development process.

In Mauritius, for example, the IMF estimates the need for unfunded shovel-ready projects at $200 million per year.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br style="outline: none !important;" /></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">In this context, in addition to concessional financing, African decision-makers need to explore other sources of financing that may not have been used regularly, such as (1) debt instruments that are linked to climate change, (2) international carbon credit systems, (3) climate-related insurance systems and (4) regional grants from the EU that can only be accessed by several countries working together. Over the medium term, the international architecture will also need to be changed so that the Multi-lateral Development Banks can set up with unused SDRs concessional facilities that complement the RSF.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br style="outline: none !important;" /></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold; outline: none !important;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">1. Climate-related debt instruments</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Climate-related debt instruments can help limit sovereign debt while promoting adaptation or mitigation efforts. The benefits of such instruments include better and cheaper reporting and monitoring on the use of funds, reduced transaction costs, and improved public financial management, procurement, and statistics. They also promote greater transparency and accountability in debt management. These include Green Bonds, debt swaps, and debt relief or cancellation. In the latter case, debt cancellation is linked to specific climate investments or actions.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br style="outline: none !important;" /></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold; outline: none !important;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">2. International carbon credit systems</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Carbon credits can be used more often by African countries endowed by nature. For example, Gabon could sell units of emissions absorbed by its forest to a private company seeking to offset its emissions. This revenue could be an additional source of financing,</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">especially for climate-related projects and other development expenditures in the country. However, this system is being called into question by the Paris Agreement. International carbon credit schemes that simply offset emissions produced elsewhere risk increasing global emissions, which is at odds with the mitigation objectives of the Paris Agreement.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Frameworks such as REDD+ could serve as an alternative to this brake. REDD+ is an emissions reduction framework based on forest and nature conservation.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br style="outline: none !important;" /></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold; outline: none !important;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">3. Climate-related insurance systems</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Insurance schemes are an important component of risk management, although they are no substitute for investment in physical and financial resilience. Risk insurance schemes, climate risk pooling, and other insurance solutions can help countries, households, and businesses cope with the consequences of climate-related disasters, providing reliable and rapid support following extreme weather events . Climate insurance can have a positive impact on beneficiaries' investment levels and macroeconomic performance. It can also complement targeted social assistance (Surminski, Bouwer, and Linnerooth-Bayer 2016). For example, farmers covered by climate insurance are more likely to invest in equipment and infrastructure, thereby increasing their productivity and output. To reduce their insurance premiums, beneficiaries can also invest in reducing their exposure to climate risks.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br style="outline: none !important;" /></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold; outline: none !important;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">4. Need for Additional Facilities for grants and highly concessional loans</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">IMF funding has always been catalytic and normally the RSF could be complemented by borrowing from the Multilateral Development Banks and bilateral development partners. However, when debt service is already stretched and the gap to finance building resilience and sustainability is so large, only grant or highly concessional financing can complement the RSF without raising debt sustainability concerns. This is why EU grants need to be mobilized in the short run and over the medium term unused SDRs need to be recycled to create RSF-type facilities with the same eligibility criteria at the World Bank and Regional Development Banks.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv2571597524layout yiv2571597524layout--1-column" style="color: #1d2228; min-width: 100%; outline: none !important; table-layout: fixed; text-align: justify; width: 100%;"><tbody style="outline: none !important;"><tr style="outline: none !important;"></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv2571597524layout yiv2571597524layout--1-column" style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; min-width: 100%; outline: none !important; table-layout: fixed; text-align: justify; width: 100%;"><tbody style="outline: none !important;"><tr style="outline: none !important;"><td class="yiv2571597524column yiv2571597524column--1 yiv2571597524scale yiv2571597524stack" style="outline: none !important; text-align: center; width: 600.17px; word-break: normal;" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv2571597524text yiv2571597524text--padding-vertical" style="outline: none !important; table-layout: fixed; width: 100%;"><tbody style="outline: none !important;"><tr style="outline: none !important;"><td class="yiv2571597524text_content-cell yiv2571597524content-padding-horizontal" style="color: #403f42; display: block; line-height: 1.2; outline: none !important; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 20px; text-align: left; word-break: normal;" valign="top"><p style="margin: 0px; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: italic; outline: none !important;">Distributed by </span><a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013o1VLu6S2UygQmG3P8OwEqf6zheLnjdsRBx0qK02V7i7W4-EISvph8BhDokMhsweIWuZqONPviSaGk6NgshXzjI3fKPw22pfXV2w47adtLcNrBKAfdTPy0xZ0sdAugDWRZFg_XlDV5loVeW5Rvjgz2NitQiT63J2B8yBLvJxBHp35HzD_kChJgYtpgoTDC12pfbox1ShmLq8wyCjNaJP0S-x2hgNvsLl&c=Y61kIbEbGvraYlHy-6upeZNP-wUJm5ykTARiXR2j8WSm5NNiUHaD0Q==&ch=olBm0Uru1IalbtFDEfeHlMr8ZCpyM_ZNyAIA_-fioqi7OPDkUDjQZw==" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; font-style: italic; outline: none !important;" target="_blank">African Media Agency (AMA)</a><span style="color: black; font-style: italic; outline: none !important;"> on behalf of AfriCatalyst.</span></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>

Na kawa kuwa sasa Zanzibar inatimiza mika 59 tangu kupinduliwa serikali ya kisultan 1964.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Kwa kawaida visiwa vya Zanzibar vipo ambavyo vinaishi watu na vipo vyengine ambavyo haviishi watu bali hutumika kwa shughuli mbali mbali za kijamii kama vile <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>uvuvi, kilimo na<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>na utalii.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Licha ya kuwepo visiwa kama Tumbatu, Uzi, Pemba, Kojani, Bawe, Changuu, Unguja na<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>vyenginevyo ambapo kisiwa cha Unguja ndio mji mkuu wa shushuli za kibishaara na Kiserikali.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Katika kisiwa cha Unguja ndipo penye mji mkuu wa Zanzibar, tukiachilia mbali mji wa Chake chake, Mkoani na Wete kule Pemba, lakini bado harakati za kuendesha visiwa na miji na vijiji za Zanzibar zinaratibiwa na kusimamiwa na Serikali kuu ambayo ipo Unguja.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Umaarufu wa kisiwa cha Unguja kutaitwa kwa jina la Zanzibar ni kwa sababu ndipo penye serikali kuu na pia ndio sehemu ya Mji mkuu, ambao unajulikana kama “Zanzibar city” kama ilivyo kwa Kuweit City, ingawaje walio wengi unapowauliza kuhusu jina la mji mkuu wa Zanzibar walio wengi huishia kusema Mkongwe, Forodhani ama Darajani, hii ni kutoka na mambo mbali mbali ambayo ni jamii au watendaji au taasisi husika kushindwa kutofautisha baina ya ng’ambo na mji mkuu.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Inawezekana pia baadhi ya taasisi kushindwa kufahamu mipaka yake ya kiutendaji na hasa katika muda huu ambao SMZ na wananchi wa Zanzibar waamini kwamba utalii ndio chanzo kikubwa cha mapato ya nchi, ingawaje vipo baadhi ya vitu kama vikiendelezwa vinaweza vikao ndio chanzo kikubwa cha uchumi wa Zanzibar kuliko utalii kama ambavyo walio wengi wanaamini hivyo.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Tunaposema<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>knna baadhi ya taasisi zinashindwa kufahamu mipaka yao ya kazi hii, ni kwa sababu ndani ya mji wa Zanzibar ambapo tunangalia Mjini na Magahari yake kumekuwa na kukinza kwa baadhi ya taasisi ambazo kwa njia moja ama nyengine imekuwa ndio chanzo cha migogoro kati ya serikali na wananchi wake.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Kwa mfano ndani ya mji au jiji la Zanzibar, kuna Mkuu wa Mkoa na Mkuu wa Wilaya ya Mjini, kuna wakuu wa Wilaya<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>2 wa<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Magharibi A na B. Kuna Meya Jiji la Zanzibar na Meya wa Mji wa Zanzibar (Manispaa), kuna Meya 2 wa Maghrib A na B.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Licha ya hayo kuna wakurugenzi watatu Baraza la Manispaa Mjini, pamoja na wakurugenzi 2 wa Maghrib A na B, ambapo jumla ya watendaji wote katika Jiji la Zanzibar ni 11 ambapo wote hao mwisho wanaripoti pengine kwenye Wizara moja na wanafanya kazi za aina moja kwa kutumia bajeti na kasma tofauti ya fedha kutoka serikalini.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Ukifuatlia kwa makini mwenendo wa kiutandaji wa mgawanyiko wa viongozi 11 waliopo kwenye jiji la Zanzibar unaweza ukaona kama ni kutengeza migogoro ya kiutendji na mzigo mkubwa kwa serikali ya Mapinduzi Zanzibar.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Kwa kuwa Jiji la Zanzibar ni kitovu cha biashara hivyo hakuna shaka kwamba zipo baadhi ya Wizara ambapo ndani ya hizo wizara kuna idara ambazo kwa njia moja ama nyengine zinaweza zikahusika moja kwa moja na utunzaji na uimarishaji wa Jiji la Zanzibar kwa mfano, Wizara <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>inayosimia Tawala za Mikoa na Idara Maalumu za SMZ, ambapo ndani ya Wizara hii itakuwa imekusanya, Bazara la Manispaa Mjini na Maghribi, Mkuu wa Mkoa na Wakuu wa Wilaya, Meya wa Jiji la Zanzibar na Meya wa Manispaa.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Kwa kupitia Wizara hii utaona kwamba umebeba vitu vingi na vizito na inawezekana kabisa hata bajeti yake pengine isiweze kuhimili ya kuendesha taasisi zote hizo na ndio maana unaweza ukaona bado mji au jiji la Zanzibar limekuwa katika khatari ya kutokujuwa nani hasa mwenye dhamana ya kuliendesha na kulitunza jiji hili na ndio maana unaweza ukaona kwamba, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mkuu wa Nchi akilalamika usafi na uchafu wa mji atakuwa anaiguza WIZARA hii muhimu ya Tawala za Mikoa na Idara Maalumu za SMZ.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Si hivyo tu, bali pia zipo na Wizara nyengine ambazo pia zinamkono na jukumu kubwa la kutunza na kulifanya Jiji au Mji wa Zanzibar kuwa katika hali nzuri na bora kwa mfano Wizara ya Ardhi na Maendeleo ya Makaazi, kwa njia moja ama nyengine hii nayo ni Wizara muhimu kwa sababu wao ndio wanahusika na mipango miji, usimamizi na matumizi mazuri ya ardhi, na kwa kwa kupitia wizara hii nadni yake ipo Idara ya Utambuzi wa Ardhi na mipango miji, lakini pia kwa kupitia wizara hii tunaweza ku;ipata Shirika la nyumba, inangawaje ni taasisi mpya<br /> </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Aidha, Wizara ya <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ujenzi na Mawasiliano hii nayo ni miongoni mwa taasisi muhimu katika kuendeleza na mifumo bora ya<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>mawasilino ikiwa ni pamoja na kuhakikisha ujenzi mzuri na wenye tija kwa taifa ikiwa ni pamoja na kuimarisha mifumo bora ya mawasilino, ingawaje ipo haja kwa Serikali kuangalia upya mfumo na utendaji wa wa Wizara hii kwa kuondosha neon UJENZI na kulipeleka katika Wizara ya Aridhi na kama kuna haya ya kuwepo kwa Wizara hii basi ni vyema ikabadilihswa jina na kuwa Wizara ya MAWASILINO NA TEKNOLOGIA kwa sababu inaonekana kama Wizara hii kubeba kazi za taasisi mbili ambazo ni Wizara ya Ardhi na Maendeleo ya Makaazi pamoja na Tume ya Utangazaji Zanzibar.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Tunaposema Wizara ya Ujenzi na Mawasiliano ibadilishe au ivunje hii ni kwa sababu ya mahitaji ya hali halisi ilivyo sasa kwa sababu mbali mbali lakini muhimu hapa ni kutokana na badiliko ya sayansi na teknologia karibu dunini kote kubalia na wizara hii kwa sasa ni mzima tu kwa serikali na hasa tunapoangali kazi na utendaji wa Tume ya Utangazaji Zanzibar kubakia ndani ya Wizara ya Habari , Vijana, Utamaduni na Michezo ni kuipa Wizara hiyo mzigo mzito wa kiutendaji na ufanisi kwa sababu ndani ya wizara hii kuna taasisi kubwa muhimu ambazo ni Shirika la Magazeti la Zanzibar leo, Shirika la Utangazaji (ZBC RADIO/ TV), Idara ya habari Maelezo, Shirika la Uchapaji, Tume ya Utangazaji<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>n.k.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Mbali ya hiyo, kuna Wizara ya Utalii na Mambo ya kale, ambayo pia kuna mambo mengi ya kufanyiwa kazi licha ya kwamba <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wizara hii ni mpya, lakini ndani yake ndio utaweza kuona chanzo kikuu cha wizara hii ambazo ni Kamesheni ya Utalii, Mamlaka ya Uhifadhi Mji Mkongwe pmoja na Idara ya Makumbusho na Mambo ya kale ambapo hapa ndio tunapogusa hasa suala zima la uhifadhi na utunzaji wa rasilimali muhimu ambayo ni historian na mambo mengine ya asili.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Kwa ujumla unapoangalia mpangilio na mtiririko wa taasisi hizo utaweza kuona kwamba Serikali inabeba mzigo mkubwa katika kulipa posho na mishara mingi kwa watendaji, ambapo kama kuna baadhi ya vitengo au taasisi nyengine zingeweza <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>kufutwa au kuunganishwa na taasisi husika, kwa ajili ya ufanisi Zaidi badala ya kuwepo wingi wa taasisi ambazo zinaongeza wingi wa lawama na mzigo kwa serikali.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Si hivyo tu lakini pia kwa kuangalia Wizara inayohusika na <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Tawala za Mikoa na Idara Maalumu za SMZ</b> , ambayo ndio kioo cha Jiji na Mji wa Zanzibar, kwani wizara hii inamzigo na jukumu kubwa la kulinda na kuimarisha uchumi wa nchi, kwa kupitia taasisi zake muhimu,<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Lakini pia wizara hii imekusanya watendaji wengi, ambapo hesabu yao wanaweza kufikia 13/15, tukianzia na Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Mjini na Magharibi, Wakuu wa wilaya watu, Meya wane, wakurugenzi wanne<u>, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>waliopo katika ngazi ya serikali kuu, ikiwa kila mmoja tuseme alipwe wastani wa shilingi milioni tano (5,000,000) kwa thamni ya shilingi ya Tanzania kila mmoja inamaana serikali ya Zanzibar kwa mwenzi mmoja inatumia wastani wa shilingi milioni khamisini na tano (55,000,000), hizo ni kwa mwenzi sasa ukifanya kwa miezi kumi na mbili 12 unaweza kapata jawabu kwamba fedha nyingi zinatumika kwa posho za watendaji.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <br /> </span><o:p></o:p></i></b></u></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Aidha, unaweza ukajiuliza suala moja je nani mwenye dhamana ya kusimamia, kutunza <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>na kuendeleza Mji au Jiji la Zanzibar? Hapa kuna kitandawili na nishia kupata mtegeguzi.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Andapo Mji au Jiji la Zanzibar litakuwa na Msimamzi mzuri miongoni wa hao watendaji hapana shaka kwamba lile neno Zanzibar ni kitovu cha biashara linaweza likafanya kazi ipasavyo.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Vi vigumu kwa sasa kuweza kumshika mchawi au mkosa ambaye anadumaza<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>ustawi na malengo mazuri ya SMZ hasa katika suala zima la kukuza uchumi, kwa sababu, ukiangalia kwa <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ghafala unaweza kuona kama kuna mwingiliano katika taasisi muhimu za Kiserikali, licha ya kwamba taasisi hizo zipo kwa mujibu wa sheria.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kwa mfano, unapoangalia kazi za Meya wa Jiji na Manispaa takribani ndio hizo hizo, lakini pia Meya wa Jiji na Mkuu wa Mkoa na wasaidizi wake ambao ni<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Wakuu wa wilaya. Ingawaje wote wapo kisheria ila ipo haja ya kuwangalia upya jinsi ya utendaji wao kazi kwa ajili ya kupata ufanisi na utendaji ulio bora, si vibaya viongozi kuiga vitu vizuri na vyenye tija kwa taifa, na ndio maana kupitia ziara mbali mbali za ndani na nje ya nje, ni vyema kupitia<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>ziara hizo kuangalia wenzetu wanafanya nini katika kuimarisha miji na majiji yao. Kwa kulingalisha na kutofautia uwepo wa Meya, Mkuu wa Mkoa pamoja na Wakuu wa wilaya, ni vyema Serikali kuweza kuliangalia vizuri suala hili.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Ushauri kama ipo haya ya kufanya mabadiliko, basi Serikali ingeweza kuangalia kwa kina kuhusu mabadiliko ya kiutendaji katika Wizara hii ya <b>Tawala za Mikoa na Idara Maalumu za SMZ, </b>ambapo kama upo uwezekano vipo baadhi ya vyeo vingesimamishwa kwa muda ili kuona kama ufanisi utapatikana kupitia mabadiliko hayo na hasa iangalie zaidi nafasi za Wakuu wa Wilaya, Wagurugenzi wa Manispaa na Halmashauri na pia kati ya Meya na Mkuu wa Mkoa.</span></span></div>

Msanifu wa majengo wa Serikali maarufu kwa wakati huoB w. John H.

Matumizi haya yaliendelea hata baada ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar ya mwaka 1964 katika awamu za Marais mbali mbali.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 150%;">Mbali na mtumizi yote hayo, ambayo yaliyokwisha fanyika awali, kwa muda huu serikali ya Dk.Hussein Ali Mwinyi, imeamuwa kulifanya kasri hili kuwa ni miongoni mwa makumbusho, kwa ajili ya kuhifadhi na kutunza mali na historia ya Zanzibar.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 150%;">Uamuzi huu wa Serikali ya Zanzibar imekuja kutoka na khitilafu zilizojitokeza katika Kasri la Forodhani (Jumba la Wananchi la Forodhani) ambapo kwa sasa kasri hili lipo katika hali mbaya na linahitaji kufanyiwa matengezo makubwa..<br /></span><span style="line-height: 150%;">Katika kuhakisha kwamba mali na saamni zilizomo ndani ya makasri haya, ndipo juhudi za makusudi zimechukuliwa kwa kuzihamishia Kibweni ambapo wananchi na watalii watapata fura nzuri ya kuweza kutembele kwenye kasri la kibweni kwa ajili ya kuona na kujifunza histori ya Zanzibar kutoka karne ya 19 hadi sasa.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 150%;">kitu cha msingi kwa jamii ni kwenda kutembelea ndani ya kasri hilo la Kibweni kwa ajili ya kupata taaluma zaidi, hii ni kwa sababu makumbusho ni yao sio ya wageni.<br /></span><span style="line-height: 150%;">lakini  ipo haja kwa Idara husika kutoa elimu kwa jamii juu ya umuhimu wa kufanya ziara za mara kwa mara kwenye sehemu za kihistoria ili kijifunza na kupata elimu zaidi ya mambo ya kale, inawezekan timiza wajibu wako.</span></span></div>
