Wadau wakubaliana kupunguza gharama za tiketi za ndege Afrika

Unguja. Wadau wa anga wa Afrika wamekubaliana kupunguza bei ya tiketi za ndege kwa lengo la kuwarahisishia watumiaji na kuongeza ufanisi katika sekta ya anga.

Hayo yamebainishwa jana Ijumaa Mei 17 2024  katika kongamano la usafiri wa anga lililojumuisha wadau 200 wa anga kutoka nchi 10, uliofanyika visiwani Zanzibar kwa siku tatu.

Washiriki wa kongamano hilo wanatoka nchi za Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Afrika ya Kusini, Somalia, Sudan Kusini, Burundi, Kongo, Ethiopia na wenyeji Zanzibar Tanzania.

Pia, katika mkutano huo, wadau hao wamekubaliana kuimarisha mifumo ya Teknolojia ya Habari na Mawasiliano (Tehama) ili kudhibiti wizi wa mitandao na kuifanya sekta hiyo kubaki salama.

Akizungumza baada ya kuhitimisha kongamano hilo, Mkurugenzi Mkuu Mamlaka ya usafiri wa Anga ya Kenya (KCAA), Emile Arao amesema miongoni mwa changamoto kubwa zinazolikumba Bara la Afrika ni gharama kubwa ya tiketi za ndege jambo ambalo ni kikwazo kwa watumiaji.

Amesema kutokana na kuliona hilo wadau wa anga  katika kongamano hilo wamekubaliana kupunguza gharama hizo  ili kuongeza ufanisi wa anga.

“Suala la bei za tiketi za ndege ni jambo lililowaibua wadau wengi wa anga na kutaka kupunguziwa gharama hizo kwa kuwa, hilo limeonekana kuwa kikwazo kwa nchi nyingi kushindwa kutumia usafiri wa ndege,” amesema Arao.

Sambamba na hilo amesema kutokana na kuongezeka kwa uhalifu wa mitandao (cyber crime), wadau hao wamesema wataimarisha mifumo ya Tehama ili kuufanya usafiri wa ndege kuendelea kuwa salama.

Amesema watumiaji wa Tehama duniani wameongezeka, hivyo uwezekano wa kuiba mifumo ya ndege na kusababisha kurejesha nyuma jitihada hizo hivyo kuepukana na hilo lazima waimarishe mifumo ili kulithibiti.

Mkurugenzi Udhibiti Uchumi Maendeleo ya Usafiri wa anga Tanzania (TCAA), Daniel Malanga amesema kuwepo kwa jumuiya ya mawakala wa usafiri wa anga Afrika utaufanya usafiri huo kuendelea kuaminika kuwa salama wakati wote.

Amesema Kongamano hilo limewakumbusha wakaguzi kuzingatia vigezo vya usalama wa anga ili kuwaondoa hofu wateja wake kutumia usafiri huo.

“Washiriki wa jumuiya hii wanashindwa kufuatilia ukaguzi wa usalama wa anga kwa kukaa muda mrefu bila kufuatilia alichokikagua hivyo tumekumbusha kuwepo kwa mpango endelevu wa ukaguzi kwa nchi hizi,” amesema Malanga.

Amesema kufanya hivyo kutawajengea uwezo wa kutambua umuhimu wa kuwepo usalama wa anga wakati wote jambo litakalosaidia nchi kuwa salama na sio kusubiria Shirika la Kimataifa Usafiri wa Anga (ICAO) kufanya ukaguzi.

Pia, amesema wanaofanya ukaguzi wanapaswa kupewa mafunzo maalumu yatakayowajenga kuyafanyia kazi maswali wanayopewa ya ukaguzi na kuandaa nyaraka ili kuweka uthibitisho.

Malanga amezitaka nchi ambazo hazijajiunga kuharakisha utekelezaji wa anga kuwa wengi kwa lengo kuondoa vikwazo vilivyopo na kupata soko huru lenye gharama nafuu za usafiri.

Kongamano hilo lililoandaliwa na Taasisi ya Udhibiti na Usalama wa Anga Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki (EAC CAssoa) kwa TCAA, kauli mbiu yake ni “Mustakabali wa usafiri wa anga, kudumisha mifumo ya usafiri wa anga yenye ustahimilivu, uendelevu, ubunifu na usalama.”

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
