Dar es Salaam. Kufuatia mabadiliko ya baadhi ya viongozi yaliotangazwa leo Februari, 26 ambapo Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan, amewateua na kuwahamisha wizara baadhi ya mawaziri na naibu mawaziri, wakuu wa mikoa, makatibu na naibu makatibu wakuu pamoja na kumteua Mkurugenzi wa Uchaguzi wadau mbalimbali wametoa maoni yao juu ya mabadiliko hayo.
Mkurugenzi wa Habari, Uenezi na Mahusiano na Umma wa Chama cha wananchi CUF, Mohamed Ngulangwa amesema ni jambo la Kawaida kwa Rais kuteua na kutengua na kuhusu Tume ya Uchaguzi, wenyewe kama chama cha Wananchi CUF wanasubiri Tume huru itakayosimamia Uchaguzi Mkuu na Uchaguzi wa Serikali za mitaa, vijiji na vitongoji.
Vilevile amesema mabadiliko yoyote yatakayofanyika katika muundo wa Tume ya Uchaguzi iliyopo sasa hayawezi kuwa na tija kwenye demokrasia.
Victoria Mwanziva ambaye ni mkuu wa Wilaya ya Ludewa katika maoni yake ya mtandao wa Twitter amesema anawatakia kazi njema wote viongozi wote waliochaguliwa huku akiwataka waweke mbele maslahi ya Taifa.
“Kila la Kheri viongozi wetu, tunazidi kuwaombea na kuwatakia Kheri katika utumishi wenu kwa Taifa letu, Tanzania.” Amesema Mwanziva.
Kwa upande wake Askofu William Mwamalanga ambaye ni Mwenyekiti wa kamati ya kitaifa ya Maaskofu na Mashekhe ya maadili, amani na haki za binadamu kwa jamii ya madhehebu ya dini nchini amesema uteuzi wa leo umetiwa doa kwa kuteuliwa kwa Mawaziri na Manaibu ambao wizara walizotoka hawakufanya vizuri.
“Tukichukulia kwa mfano wizara ya Ardhi, Elimu, Afya na kilimo ni muhimu kuleta sura za kazi zaidi watu wanaothubutu badala ya kuwapa watu uwaziri, ukatibu mkuu na ukuu wa mkoa kwa kisiasa, hatuwezi kuingia kwenye hatua za kweli za kimaendeleo” amesema Mwamalanga.
Yohana Msita kutoka Twitter amewahasa viongozi hao kwa kuwataka kuchapa kazi ili kuendana na ndoto za Rais.
“Nendeni mkapambane kutimiza ndoto za Rais Samia” amesema Msita.
John Pambalu mwenyekiti wa Baraza la vijana Chadema (Bavicha) amesema bado kuna haja ya kuwa na katiba mpya kwa ajili ya kupunguza mamlaka makubwa anayopewa Rais katika kufanya uteuzi.
“Katika madai ya Katiba, moja kati ya jambo linalopigiwa kelele na wadau wote wa demokrasia na utawala bora, ni mamlaka makubwa ya Rais kuteua watu bila ya kuwa na vyombo vya kisheria vilivyopewa mamlaka ya kumbana ili achague watu ambao wamekidhi vigezo na matarajio chanya ya walio wengi,”amesema.

Britam half-year net profit hits Sh2bn on higher investment income
Insurer and financial services provider Britam posted a 22.5 percent jump in net earnings for the half-year ended June 2024, to Sh2 billion, buoyed by increased investment income.
The rise in half-year net profit from Sh1.64 billion posted in a similar period last year came on the back of net investment income rising 2.5 times to Sh13.27 billion from Sh5.3 billion.
“We are confident in the growth and performance trend that Britam has achieved, supported by its subsidiaries in Kenya and the region. Our business is expanding its revenue base while effectively managing costs,” Britam Chief Executive Officer Tom Gitogo said.
“Our customer-centric approach is fueling growth in our customer base and product uptake, particularly through micro-insurance, partnerships, and digital channels.”
The investment income growth was fueled by interest and dividend income rising 34 percent to Sh9.1 billion, which the insurer attributed to growth in revenue and the gains from the realignment of the group’s investment portfolio.
Britam also booked a Sh3.79 billion gain on financial assets at a fair value, compared with a Sh1.8 billion loss posted in a similar period last year.
The increased investment income helped offset the 12.7 percent decline in net insurance service result to Sh2.13 billion in the wake of claims paid out rising at a faster pace than that of premiums received.
Britam said insurance revenue, which is money from written premiums, increased to Sh17.8 billion from Sh16.6 billion, primarily driven by growth in the Kenya insurance business and regional general insurance businesses, which contributed 30 percent of the revenue.
The group has a presence in seven countries in Africa namely Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Sudan, Mozambique, and Malawi.
Britam’s insurance service expense hit Sh13.6 billion from Sh11.3 billion, while net insurance finance expenses rose 2.6 times to Sh12.3 billion during the same period.
“Net insurance finance expenses increased mainly due to growth in interest cost for the deposit administration business driven by better investment performance. This has also been impacted by a decline in the yield curve, which has led to an increase in the insurance contract liabilities. The increase has been offset by a matching increase in fair value gain on assets,” said Britam.
Britam’s growth in profit is in line with that of other Nairobi Securities Exchange-listed insurers, which have seen a rise in profits.
Jubilee Holdings net profit in the six months increased by 22.7 percent to Sh2.5 billion on increased income from insurance, helping the insurer maintain Sh2 per share interim dividend.
CIC Insurance Group posted a 0.64 percent rise in net profit to Sh709.99 million in the same period as net earnings of Liberty Kenya nearly tripled to Sh632 million from Sh213 million, while Sanlam Kenya emerged from a loss to post a Sh282.2 million net profit.
