Mabehewa sita ya ghorofa ya treni ya SGR yaliwasili nchini kwa mara ya kwanza Juni mwaka jana yakitokea nchini Ujerumani. Desemba mwaka jana pia TRC ikatangaza kupokea vichwa vipya vitatu vya treni za umeme na mabehewa mapya 27 ya abiria.

Taarifa ya TRC iliyotolewa na Jamila ilisema Serikali ilifanya ununuzi wa seti 10, za treni ya kisasa zijulikanazo Eletric Multiple Unit kutoka kwa watengenezaji wa kampuni ya Hyundai Rotem ya nchini Korea ya Kusini.
“Seti moja ya EMU ina uwezo wa kubeba abiria 589 na kutembea kwa kasi ya kilomita 160 kwa saa. EMU ni treni iliyoundwa kwa teknolojia ya kisasa inayowezesha abiria kupata huduma muhimu ikiwemo mtandao (Wi-Fi).
Sehemu za kukaa watu wenye mahitaji maalumu, mifumo ubaridi na kamera za usalama (CCTV Camera,” amesema
Jamila amesema Serikali kupitia shirika hilo imepokea jumla ya mabehewa 65 ya abiria, vichwa 9 vya umeme na seti moja ya EMU. Seti zingine za EMU zitaendelea kuwasili kila mwezi hadi Oktoba mwaka huu.
Akifungua maonyesho hayo, Abdulla amesema kutokana na muungano, uchumi umeimarika.
“Tumeshuhudia kuimarika kwa miundombinu hususani ya barabara na huduma za kijamii ikiwamo afya, maji na elimu, katika kuhakikisha usawa wa utoaji wa huduma kwa wananchi wa pande zote mbili za Muungano, hadi sasa taasisi 33 kati ya 39 za Muungano zilizopo Tanzania Bara zimefungua Ofisi Zanzibar,” amesema.
Abdulla amesema amani na umoja nchini utaletwa na muungano hivyo kama wapo watu wenye dukuduku kuhusu Muungano wa Tanganyika na Zanzibar waziwasilishe serikalini na watasikilizwa.
Makamu huyo wa Rais amesema katika kipindi cha miaka mitatu, 2021 hadi 2024 hoja 15 zimepatiwa ufumbuzi kati ya hoja 18 zilizokuwepo kwenye muungano.
Amesema utatuzi wa changamoto za muungano umeongeza imani ya Watanzania kwa Serikali na hivyo kuimarisha, kudumisha amani ya muda mrefu.

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
