Miaka minne ya Magufuli kaburini, Chato kumkumbuka leo

Dar es Salaam. Jumatano ya Machi 17, 2021, Tanzania iligubikwa na wingu zito la kumpoteza Rais aliyekuwa madarakani, Dk John Pombe Magufuli maarufu JPM.

Ni kwa mara ya kwanza Taifa hilo la Afrika Mashariki kushuhudia Rais aliyekuwa madarakani akifariki dunia. Kifo chake kilitangazwa na Samia Suluhu Hassan, aliyekuwa Makamu wa Rais.

Dk Magufuli aliyezaliwa Chato mkoani Geita, Oktoba 29, 1959 alihitimisha utawala wake wa miaka mitano na miezi minne aliouanza Novemba 5, 2015 katika Hospitali ya Mzena, Kijitonyoma jijini Dar es Salaam kwa maradhi ya moyo.

Leo Jumatano ni miaka minne imetimia tangu alipovuta pumzi ya mwisho dunia. Mwili wake, ulizikwa katika makaburi ya familia, nyumbani  kwao Chato, Machi 26, 2021.

Kutokana na kifo chake,  Samia Suluhu Hassan aliyekuwa Makamu wake wa Rais aliapishwa Machi 19, 2021, Ikulu ya Dar es Salaam na Jaji Mkuu, Profesa Ibrahim Juma kuwa Rais wa Tanzania, hivyo kuwa Rais wa kwanza mwanamke kati ya watano waliomtangulia.

Marais waliopita kwa kuanza na awamu ya kwanza ni Julius Nyerere (1964-1985), Ali Hassan Mwinyi (1985-1995), Benjamin Mkapa (1995-2005), Jakaya Kikwete (2005-2015) na John Magufuli (2015-2021).

Dk Magufuli aliyekuwa na falsafa ya Hapa Kazi Tu, baada ya kuapishwa kwa Samia kuwa Rais akaitambulisha  falsafa yake ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania…Kazi Iendelee.

Akimaanisha kuendelea miradi mbalimbali aliyokuwa ameianzisha mtangulizi wake na kuanzisha mipya.

Miongoni iliyoachwa ni Bwawa la Umeme la Nyerere, Daraja la Tanzanite, Daraja la Kigongo- Busisi, ununuzi wa ndege ili kulifufua Shirika la Ndege la Tanzania (ATCL) na barabara mbalimbali nchini.

Dk Magufuli aliacha watoto na mjane, Janeth Magufuli.

Harakati za kisiasa za Dk Magufuli zilianza mwaka 1995 alipogombea kiti cha ubunge katika jimbo la Chato na baadaye kuteuliwa kuwa Naibu Waziri katika Wizara ya Ujenzi. Mwaka 2000, Magufuli aligombea na kushinda tena ubunge na kuteuliwa kuwa Waziri wa Wizara ya Ujenzi.

Aidha, katika chaguzi za mwaka 2005 na 2010, aliendelea kuwania kiti hicho cha ubunge katika jimbo la Chato na kushinda na kuteuliwa kuwa Waziri wa Wizara ya Ardhi, Nyumba na Maendeleo ya Makazi hadi mwaka 2008 alipohamishiwa Wizara ya Mifugo na Uvuvi, ambayo aliiongoza hadi mwaka 2010. Mwaka 2010 alipochaguliwa tena kuwa mbunge wa Chato aliteuliwa kuwa Waziri wa Ujenzi.

Mwaka 2015, alikuwa miongoni mwa makada zaidi ya 40 wa CCM waliojitosa kuchukua fomu kuwania kumrithi Rais Kikwete aliyekuwa akimaliza muda wake madarakani.

Ni makada 38 pekee ndio walirejesha fomu, wakiwemo mawaziri wakuu wastaafu,  maofisa ngazi za juu za jeshi, mawaziri na makada wa kawaida. Baada ya michakato yote CCM ikampitisha  Magufuli kuwania urais na baadaye akashinda urais wa Tanzania.

Safari yake ya kielimu inaonyesha, Magufuli alijiunga na Jeshi la Kujenga Taifa (JKT) kwa mujibu wa sheria akianzia Makutupora, Dodoma (Julai – Desemba 1983), kisha akaenda kambi ya Makuyuni, Arusha (Januari hadi Machi 1984) na akamalizia katika kambi ya Mpwapwa mkoani Dodoma (Machi – Juni 1984). Mwaka 1985 alijiunga na Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam akisomea Shahada ya Sayansi ya Elimu akibobea kwenye masomo ya Kemia na Hisabati na alihitimu mwaka 1988.

Kati ya mwaka 1991 na 1994 alijiunga na masomo ya Shahada ya Uzamili ya Sayansi katika Chuo Kikuu cha Salford nchini Uingereza na baadaye mwaka 2006-2009 alijiunga na masomo ya Shahada ya Uzamivu ya Kemia katika Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam. Kutokana na taaluma yake Magufuli ameandika vitabu na machapisho mbalimbali.

Leo Jumatano, ndugu, jamaa na marafiki watamkumbuka kwa Ibada itakayofanyikia Chato ambayo imeandaliwa na familia yake.

Endelee kufuatilia Mwananchi kujua kinachoendelea kutoka huko

Tanzania: Samia Hands Over NBC’s 354m/ – Crop Insurance Compensation to Farmers Affected By Hailstorms

President Samia Suluhu Hassan, has handed over a cheque of 354m/- from the National Bank of Commerce (NBC) as compensation to tobacco farmers, who were affected by hailstorms during the previous farming season in various regions across the country.

Handing over the cheque in Dodoma, the compensation is part of the crop insurance service provided by NBC in collaboration with the National Insurance Corporation (NIC).

Furthermore, President Samia has also handed over health insurance coverage to members of the Lindi Mwambao Cooperative Union based in Lindi Region, through the Farmers’ Health Insurance service provided by the bank in partnership with Assurance Insurance Company.

While visiting the bank’s pavilion at the Nanenane Agricultural Exhibition and being received and briefed by the bank’s Managing Director, Mr. Theobald Sabi, she said: “This crop insurance is one of the crucial solutions in ensuring farmers have a reliable income, without fear of challenges such as natural disasters, including hailstorms.

“I call upon all farmers in the country to make the best use of this important opportunity by accessing these kinds of insurance services. I also highly commend NBC and all the stakeholders participating in this programme.”

Elaborating further on the crop insurance service, the Minister of Agriculture, Hussein Bashe, stated that it will help to recover the loss farmers incurred, especially in various calamities beyond their control.

Citing them as floods, fires, and hailstorms, which have significantly affected the well-being of farmers and caused some to be reluctant to invest in the crucial sector, Mr Bashe added: “However, our President, this step by NBC is just the beginning, as this is the second year since they started offering this service, and the results are already visible.

“As the government, we promise to continue supporting the wider implementation of this service, with the goal of ensuring that this crop insurance service reaches more farmers.”

He added: “In addition to these insurance services, as a bank, through this exhibition, we have continued with our programme of providing financial education and various banking opportunities to farmers, alongside offering them various loans, including loans for agricultural equipment, particularly tractors, to eligible farmers.:

At the NBC booth, President Samia also had the opportunity to be briefed on the various services offered by the bank to the farmers namely crop insurance and health insurance services.

There, the President had the chance to speak with some of the beneficiaries of the services, including the Vice-Chairman of the Lindi Mwambao Primary Cooperative Union, Mr. Hassan Mnumbe, whose union has been provided with a health insurance card from the bank.
