Unguja. Wakazi wa Mtumwajeni, Mkoa wa Mjini Magharibi wamesema katika shehia hiyo hawapati huduma ya maji kwa kipindi cha mwezi mmoja sasa, bila kuelezwa tatizo na mamlaka inayohusika.
Wakizungumza na Mwananchi Digital kwa nyakati tofauti Mei 24, 2024 wamesema siyo tu kukosa huduma, bali maji yanapotoka huwa na uchafu jambo linalohatarisha afya zao.
Hata hivyo, Mamlaka ya Maji Zanzibar (Zawa) imesema kukosekana kwa huduma katika shehia hiyo kunatokana na ujenzi wa Barabara ya Amani Kwerekwe uliosababisha laini ya maji kukatwa.
Hata maeneo yanapotoka, yanakuwa na uchafu kiasia kwamba hayawezi kutumiwa katika matumizi ya kawaida.
Mkazi wa eneo hilo, Jamila Haji Pandu amesema hakuna maji lakini mamlaka imekaa kimya bila kutoa taarifa.
“Maji yanatoka na uchafu, tunaiomba Mamlaka ya Maji, watueleze tatizo ni nini kwa sababu tulishalalamika lakini bado hatujaona hatua zikichukuliwa,” amesema Jamila.
Zainab Abdalla amesema wananunua dumu moja la maji kwa Sh500.
Sheha wa Mtumwajeni, Rajabu Ally Ngauchwa amesema baadhi ya maeneo ya shehia hiyo hawapati maji na alishatoa taarifa kwa wahusika.
“Tunachohitaji ni taarifa ikiwa kuna shida yoyote watuambie kuliko kukaa kimya, watuambie maji hayapatikani kwa sababu gani na lini yatapatikana ili wananchi wajue kipindi cha kumalizika kwa shida hii,” amesema.
Mkuu wa Kitengo cha Uhusiano Zawa, Amina Abdalla Daudi amesema ujenzi wa barabara utachukua muda mrefu na hawajui utakamilika lini, hivyo mamlaka inatafuta njia ya kuirejesha laini hiyo haraka.
“Tunatafuta sehemu mbadala ya kuwaungia maji wakati sisi tukiwa tunajipanga kuwawekea miundombinu mipya kwa lengo la kuondoa tatizo hilo,” amesema.
Amina amesema madai ya maji kutoka yakiwa na uchafu hayajaripotiwa kwao akiwataka wananchi wasipuuze wanapoona tatizo kama hilo kwa kuwa ni hatari kwa afya zao.
Amesema matukio ya maji kutoka yakiwa na uchafu yanakuwa mengi kutokana na mmomonyoko wa ardhi na baadhi ya mabomba yaliyochakaa kupasuka.
“Wananchi wanapoona maji yanatoka na uchafu wasipuuze kwa sababu hawajui maji hayo yamechanganyika na nini, hivyo watoe taarifa ifanyiwe kazi,” amesema.
Amesema shehia hiyo ni miongoni mwa maeneo yenye changamoto za watu kujenga nyumba juu ya mabomba ya kupitishia maji.
Amina amesema mamlaka imeshirikiana na Manispaa inayohusika kutoa vibali vya ujenzi na kuwataka wananchi hao wahame.
Ameeleza baadhi yao wameondoka ila wengine wanadai hawana sehemu nyingine za kuishi bado wapo katika nyumba hizo.

Tanzania’s opposition party ACT Wazalendo honours veteran politician under new policy
Unguja. Opposition party ACT Wazalendo today officially bids farewell to its former Chairman, Juma Duni Haji, also known as Babu Duni, as part of a new policy designed to honor retired senior leaders at a ceremony held at Kiembesamaki, Zanzibar.
The initiative highlights the party’s commitment to recognizing and supporting individuals who have served with dedication and integrity.
Babu Duni, who stepped down earlier this year, was succeeded by Othman Masoud, now the First Vice President of Zanzibar.
The policy aims to provide ongoing respect and support to retired leaders, ensuring their continued recognition and contribution to the party’s development.
“Recognizing their significant contributions to the development and prosperity of the party, this policy ensures that retired leaders continue to be acknowledged and respected by both the party and the community,” the policy states.
To benefit from this policy, leaders must not have left or been expelled from the party. They must have served the party with honor and dedication. The national leadership committee will determine whether a leader has fulfilled these criteria.
The policy seeks to honor retired leaders, protect their dignity, acknowledge their contributions, leverage their ideas for the party’s growth, and support them to the best of the party’s ability.
In honoring these leaders, the party will provide a vehicle, the type of which will be determined by the national leadership committee. Additionally, they will receive a monthly allowance, with the amount also set by this committee.
Other benefits include health insurance. If a leader does not own a home, the party will cover their rent at a rate decided by the committee.
The leadership committee may also grant special recognition based on the leader’s contributions. Retired leaders will participate in decision-making meetings according to procedures outlined in the party’s constitution.
Depending on the party’s resources at the time, the policy may also apply to retired deputy chairpersons for both the mainland and Zanzibar, the Secretary-General, Deputy Secretary-General for both mainland and Zanzibar, and the party’s Attorney General.
Additionally, leaders, executives, or members with exceptional contributions to the party’s protection, advocacy, and defense may also benefit, as determined by the leadership committee.
Currently, those who are eligible for benefits under this policy include Juma Duni Haji (retired party Chairman) and Zitto Kabwe (retired party leader).Continue Reading
