Saa maalumu kwa ajili ya kuibia kwenye mitihani

Image copyright

Image captionSaa hizo zinauzwa katika Amazon an eBay

Saa za kisasa ambazo zimetengenezwa mahususi kutumiwa kudanganya wakati wa mtihani zimekuwa zikiwakosesha usingizi walimu na wasimamizi wa mitihani.

Saa hizo zina uwezo wa kuweka akiba data na maelezo ambayo yanaweza kusomeka mtu anapofanya mtihani.

Aidha, zina kitufe cha dharura ambacho kinaweza kubadili uso wa saa hizo haraka sana na badala ya kuonesha habari ziwe zinaonesha uso wa kawaida wa saa.

Saa hizo zinatangazwa katika soko la kuuza bidhaa mtandaoni la Amazon.

Mojawapo ya aina ya saa hizo ina uwezo wa kuweka akiba data ya 4GB. Nyingine, ambayo itaanza kuuzwa baadaye mwaka huu, itakuwa na uwezo wa 8GB na inaweza kuhifadhi hata video.

Baadhi ya saa hizo, zina kifaa kidogo sana cha kusikizia ambacho hakitumii nyaya, jambo linalowezesha mtu kusikiliza kilichohifadhiwa kwenye saa hiyo bila kuonekana.

• Udanganyifu wa mitihani ni kawaida India
• Visa vya wizi mtihani wa taifa Kenya vyaongezeka
• Watafutaji kazi walazimishwa kuvua nguo India

Tangazo moja katika mtandao wa Amazon linasema mtu anaweza kununua saa ya aina hiyo kwa $61 (£43).

Kuna pia matangazo ya saa hizo eBay.

Naibu mwalimu mkuu wa shule moja kutoka Bath, Uingereza anasema saa hizo zinaweza zikawashawishi wanafunzi kuhadaa katika mtihani.

Bw Joe Sidders wa shule ya Monkton Combe Senior School amesema ingawa saa hizo zinaweza kudhibitiwa kwa kutumia sheria zinazoharamisha simu na kompyuta kutoka vyumba vya mitihani, ni changamoto kubwa sana kwa watu wanaosimamia mitihani.

Amesema uuzaji wa saa hizo unafaa kudhibitiwa.

Kuna pia “kalamu za kuiba mtihani” ambazo zinaweza kuhifadhi habari na maelezo.

Ongezeko la matumizi ya saa kuiba yamefanya baadhi ya mashirika kupiga marufuku saa katika vyumba vya mitihani Uingereza.

Mtoto wa Raila Odinga(Rosemary) asulubiwa Instagram

Rosemary Odinga, mtoto wa mwanasiasa mkongwe wa Kenya, Raila Odinga anatamani Instagram isingekuwepo!

Ni kwasababu tangu aombe radhi kupitia mtandao huo kwa kauli aliyoitoa kwenye mkutano wa viongozi vijana wa kimataifa, IYLA kwenye umoja wa mataifa kuwa Olduvai Gorge ipo Kenya, amekuwa akioga mvua ya matusi.

Kupitia Instagram, Ms Odinga aliandika:

I have just been reminded of an incident which occurred while attending IYLA in New York last year where I had a Freudian slip. Apparently our brothers and sisters from TZ are alarmed that I have grabbed their Olduvai Gorge. I meant to say our equally historic Olorgesaiile site in Kajiado. As I have learnt, what happens in New York doesn’t stay in New York. So, what would Magufuli do? Sorry Tanzanians, your Olduvai Gorge is safe. In the spirit of one East Africa let’s shake hands after all at the end of the day we are the cradle of humankind

Hadi sasa post hiyo ina comments zaidi ya 1,200 na nyingi ni matusi kutoka kwa watanzania wanaohisi kuwa bado anaendelea kusema uongo na kwamba hajaomba radhi kutoka moyoni.

Hizi ni baadhi ya comments:

Maggiemetta

Woman be respectful you’re addressing a country so drop that sarcastic tone and don’t sound so patronizing we’re not your cousins. First of all making a public statement on something you claim to have mixed up is stupid, does that mean you don’t really know your historical sites and you’re supposed to be a leader? Second “apologizing” to the world in your tiny insta page says how stupid and disrespectful you are. I feel for Kenyans having to put up with kids like you being leaders. Have manners, this is Africa.

Lentrojan

U said, u were changeled and that was your story. You knew exactly what u were talking madam. You think the only mistake was saying Olduvai gorge is in Kenya? If you mistakenly said Olduvai instead of that Olorgesasaiile then you wanted the world to believe the oldest fossil was found in Kenya n not Olduvai Gorge, that is also another thing you should apologize for. Weven have witnessed a lot of mistakes from you guys, like mount Kilimanjaro is TOTALLY in Kenya, you produce Tanzanites and even Diamondplantnumz is a Kenyan rapper. HOLLY CRAP!! We just couldnt let that pass

Erasto_kamugisha

You can’t cheat us, you did it deliberately. That is what you were sent to do. I feel sorry to your country having a young leader as you who is not honest and not sure of your own identity. I think you did a course in cheating, eti have been reminded of what I said during the conference in US, do you want to tel us that you did not watch that video after the conference and identify your own mistakes. Apologizing to us is not enough, what about the delegates who attended the conference. An educated fool

Mama_estefan

Apologize properly please and not this sarcastic verse you have written. You knew u were lying and yet you embellished that lie with so much emotions and stuff. You need to make a formal apology to Tanzanians for claiming their Historic site and you need to apologise to those people who were listening to you at that conference. What kind of a woman are you? Cradle of mankind really? And you claimed your teachers taught u in school do u wanna start a war???? Kenya is a beautiful country in its own right and theres so much to say about Kenya my question is “why did you feel the need to lie through your teeth like that?” We TANZANIANS are waiting for a proper apology

Swahilination

Dont mess up with Tanzania again, there is no correlation, semantic, Geographic or any other connection between Olduvai Gorge (Two Words) and Olorgesaiile….These words cannot and will never be used interchangeably. It wasnt an accident or a coincidence, this is a continuous acts of Kenyans to steal our identity, and own it to yourselves, Kilimanjaro and The Serengeti to mention just a few. It’s not the first time, but it should be the last time. You should also consider pulling Mt. Kilimanjaro adverts out of KQ

The 10 Richest Women of All Time

Throughout history, men are typically thought of as titans of industry and the money makers. Basically, vast fortunes are often assumed to come from a man's work. In the olden days, the law prevented women from owning property—which didn't help the fairer gender's cause when it came to amassing wealth. The sad fact is that women with huge personal net worth are very much a modern phenomenon.

The following 10 women span eras and centuries. They are also not JUST heiresses, we've focused on women who either created their own wealth, or if they inherited it, they've taken an active role in managing and growing their fortune. Because of this, Wal-Mart heiresses Alice Walton and Christy Walton don't make the list, even though Alice Walton is the richest woman in America.

Comparing these women's wealth across different centuries is challenging, so this ranking is initially based on the comparison of an individual's net worth to total global economic output in their era. That's why you won't see Oprah Winfrey ($3.2 billion) or Theranos' Elizabeth Holmes ($4.5 billion) on this list. Those two women, while extraordinarily wealthy and self-made, don't have enough money relative to the current global GDP to make the list. Once the top 10 women were narrowed down, we ranked the modern ones according to current net worth, and the ones from ancient eras by perceived net worth adjusted for inflation.

1. Empress Wu

Not Known

Lived: 624-705 AD

Nation: China

The tale of Empress Wu is a juicy one. You don't get to be the richest woman of all time without a little intrigue and bloodshed. Empress Wu rose to power in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, she was the concubine of two emperors who happened to be father and son. When the son, Emperor Gaozong, became ruler, Wu was single minded and ruthless about eliminating her rivals for his affection. Reportedly, she killed her own week-old daughter and blamed the crime on one of Gaozong's main consorts, Empress Wang. Wang was then imprisoned and killed and Wu rose to power. During her 15-year reign, the empire of China expanded its lands deep into central Asia, making it one of the largest empires in the world.

Muhimbili yavunja records ya mapato

Kwa ufupi

Maagizo hayo yalitolewa na Dk Magufuli siku nne baada ya kuapishwa alipotembelea hospitali hiyo, Novemba 9 mwaka jana yametekelezwa kutokana na kuhudumia wagonjwa wengi zaidi na kwa wakati.

Dar es Salaam. Hospitali ya Taifa Muhimbili (MNH) imeongeza mapato yake kwa asilimia 60, baada ya kuboresha usimamizi na kupunguza kero za wafanyakazi, huku ikitekeleza kwa asilimia 100 maagizo matatu ya Rais John Magufuli.

Maagizo hayo yalitolewa na Dk Magufuli siku nne baada ya kuapishwa alipotembelea hospitali hiyo, Novemba 9 mwaka jana yametekelezwa kutokana na kuhudumia wagonjwa wengi zaidi na kwa wakati.

Akizungumza kuhusu mafanikio ya MNH katika siku 100 za Rais Magufuli madarakani, Kaimu Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa MNH, Profesa Lawrence Museru alisema hospitali hiyo imeongeza uzalishaji wenye tija pamoja na kiwango cha ukusanyaji wa mapato.

Alisema kwa Desemba pekee, walikusanya Sh3.3 bilioni kutoka wastani wa Sh2.7 bilioni ilizokuwa ikikusanya kwa kipindi cha miezi mitano iliyotangulia.

“Tumepiga hatua, kwani Januari mwaka huu tumeweza kukusanya kiasi cha Sh4.3 bilioni. Katika mipango yetu ya muda mfupi iliyopo sasa tumepanga kukusanya Sh6 bilioni ifikapo Julai mwaka huu,” alisema.

Profesa Museru alisema watekeleza maagizo ya Rais Magufuli kuhusu mashine za MRI na CT Scan ambazo sasa zinafanya kazi vizuri, wagonjwa hawalali chini na upatikanaji wa dawa ni mzuri

Alisema matengenezo ya mashine ya MRI yalifanyika kikamilifu na tangu ilipotengamaa imepima zaidi ya wagonjwa 2,200.

Mkurugenzi huyo alisema wagonjwa waliokuwa wanalala chini wamehamishiwa katika wodi zingine na ile waliyokuwa wanatumia inafanyiwa matengenezo yanayotarajiwa kukamilika wiki mbili kuanzia sasa.

Mkurugenzi wa Fedha na Mipango wa MNH, Gerald Jeremiah alisema ukusanyaji wa mapato umeiwezesha hospitali hiyo kulipa madeni iliyokuwa ikidaiwa na wafanyakazi na wazabuni.

“Wafanyakazi walikuwa wanadai Sh600 milioni na wameshalipwa tangu mwanzoni mwa Februari mwaka huu, kulikuwa na madeni ya wazabuni na wengine wanaoleta vifaa mbalimbali kiasi cha Sh5.7 bilioni nazo zimelipwa,” alisema.

Alisema hospitali ilikuwa na deni la Tanesco linalofikia Sh4.6 bilioni ambalo Serikali ilisaidia kulilipa na kwamba, kwa sasa ina deni la mkopo wa Bima ya Afya la Sh3.4 bilioni.

RAIS MAGUFULI tangu aapishwe kafanya nini?

Rais John Magufuli  

Dar es Salaam. Hadi leo Rais John Magufuli amefanya nini?

Ni swali ambalo gazeti la Mwananchi litakuwa likilijibu kesho wakati kiongozi huyo wa Serikali ya Awamu ya Tano atakapokuwa akitimiza siku 100 tangu alipoapishwa Novemba 5, 2015 kwenye Uwanja wa Taifa.

Kuanzia kazi yake ya kwanza iliyokuwa ni kumteua Mwanasheria Mkuu wa Serikali hadi kazi atakayofanya leo, itakuwa kwenye toleo maalumu la siku 100 za Dk Magufuli ambaye ameanza kwa kishindo, akilenga zaidi kupambana na ufisadi, kudhibiti mapato na matumizi na kuelekeza fedha kwenye huduma za jamii.

Dk Magufuli aliapishwa Novemba 5, mwaka jana, akipokea wadhifa huo kutoka kwa Jakaya Kikwete ambaye kwa sasa amebaki na nafasi ya mwenyekiti wa CCM.

Moja ya mambo makubwa ambayo ameyafanya na kumtofautisha na watangulizi wake wanne ni kuwawajibisha watumishi wa umma kwa makosa mbalimbali, huku akiahidi neema katika elimu, ujenzi wa viwanda na kushughulikia mkwamo wa kisiasa visiwani Zanzibar. Katika moja ya makala za kesho, utasoma jinsi majeruhi wa kwanza wa hatua za Rais Magufuli za kuwajibisha watumishi wa taasisi za umma, Dk Hussein Kidanto, ambaye alikuwa kaimu mkurugenzi wa Hospitali ya Taifa ya Muhimbili (MNH), anavyokabiliana na uamuzi huo wa kumuweka pembeni.

Kwa kutumia wachambuzi mbalimbali wa nje na waandishi wetu, makala hizo zitaangalia jinsi Rais alivyofanya ziara mbalimbali kwenye taasisi za umma, maamuzi aliyotoa katika kudhibiti mapato, kusimamisha na kutimua watumishi wa umma kwa sababu mbalimbali na ziara zake ndani na nje ya jiji la Dar es Salaam.

Pia uchambuzi huo utaangalia mambo mbalimbali aliyofanya na kuibua mijadala mikubwa kama uvaaji wa kombati za wapiganaji wa Jeshi la Wananchi wa Tanzania, uteuzi wa mawaziri nje ya Bunge, kauli kuhusu hukumu za wakwepa kodi na utetezi wake kuwa si dikteta. Pia makala hizo zitatathmini maamuzi ambayo yamekuwa yakifanywa na mawaziri wa Serikali ya Awamu ya Tano, katika kuitikia wito wa “hapa kazi tu”.

“Lengo ni kufanya tathmini ya nini kiongozi wetu amefanya katika siku 100 za kwanza na pia kupata maoni ya watu kuhusu yaliyofanyika,” alisema Mhariri Mtendaji wa gazeti la Mwananchi, Frank Sanga.

“Huu ni utaratibu wa kawaida unaofanywa na vyombo vya habari kwa kiongozi wa nchi anapotimiza siku 100. Hivyo tumeona ni muhimu kuendeleza utamaduni huu.” Mhariri wa miradi maalum wa gazeti hili, Hawra Shamte alisema wamejaribu kuangalia kila sehemu muhimu ili kuwapa wasomaji kitu kizuri kitakachowasaidia kutathmini utendaji wa Serikali waliyoichagua.

“Makala zinaangalia karibu kila eneo lililofanyiwa kazi, pia uzuri na ubaya wake na maoni ya watu kuhusu Serikali,” alisema Shamte.

“Nadhani hii itakuwa kumbukumbu nzuri kwa wasomaji wetu ambayo itawasaidia pia kutathmini utawala huu na uliopita na kujua tunakoelekea.”

Alisema makala hizo zimeandikwa kwa kuzingatia hotuba ya Rais Magufuli aliyoitoa Novemba 20, 2015 wakati alipozindua Bunge la Kumi na Moja.

“Hotuba ile ndiyo ilitoa mwelekeo wa Serikali yake na hivyo ndiyo msingi wa makala hizi za uchambuzi,” alisema Shamte.

Dr Mahanga ampinga Raisi Magufuli kwa hizi hoja zake

HOJA SI UKUBWA WA BARAZA, HOJA NI UKUBWA WA GHARAMA ZA KUENDESHA SERIKALI

Nimefuatilia jinsi ambavyo hoja yangu niliyoitoa juzi kwa nia njema ilivyojadiliwa nchini kwa kuungwa mkono na wengi na wengine kuipinga. Mimi nadhani hoja yangu isijadiliwe au kukanushwa kisiasa, bali iangaliwe tu kiuhalisia ili kusaidia Serikali ya Rais Magufuli.

Aidha najua sana kwamba katibu mkuu siyo mjumbe wa baraza la mawaziri. Lakini najua vile vile kwamba jina au cheo tu cha uwaziri si kila kitu kwenye kupunguza gharama za kuendesha serikali. Gharama za kuendesha serikali ni idadi ya mawaziri, makatibu wakuu na wakurugenzi wa idara mbalimbali za serikali, na gharama zingine za kuendesha idara zao.

Na wala sijapinga mazuri anayofanya rais hadi sasa. Mbona pale rais alipofanya vizuri tumempongeza? Kwa mfano kutumbua majipu ambayo yaliivishwa tayari na serikali ya awamu ya nne. Vile vile alipopunguza idadi ya wizara na idadi ya mawaziri kutoka 29 kufikia 19 mbona tulipongeza? Na hapa tuliamini ni mwanzo wa kupunguza ukubwa na gharama za kuendesha serikali. Nasema mwanzo kwa sababu ukubwa na gharama za kuendesha serikali si kupunguza tu idadi ya wizara na mawaziri, bali kupunguza pia idadi ya makatibu wakuu ili kulingana na idadi ya wizara….ni kupunguza na kuunganisha idara mbalimbali za serikali na wakurugenzi wake. Ukifanya hivyo ndiyo unapunguza gharama za kuendesha serikali. Na hii ndiyo ilikuwa ahadi ya Magufuli kwenye kampeni.

Lakini kama ameona kwamba kuleta ufanisi serikalini lazima ajaze watendaji wengi kwenye wizara, kama anavyoendelea kufanya, aseme tu hivyo, lakini akijua hatua hiyo haitapunguza gharama za kuendesha serikali ambazo wabunge, hasa wa upinzani, wamekuwa wakipigia kelele kwenye serikali ya awamu ya nne.

Hata hivyo hili la kuleta ufanisi pamoja na kuteua makatibu wakuu wengi wanaoonekana wazuri kwa utendaji, kuna wizara ambazo hakushauriwa vizuri na akateua makatibu wakuu wale wale na kuwarudisha pale pale wakati walikuwa “mizigo” na walikwamisha mno sekta husika katika awamu ya nne. Hawa ni watu ambao rais au katibu mkuu kiongozi angeenda kwenye wizara zao leo na kuitisha kura ya siri ya wakurugenzi na wafanyakazi wote, asilimia 90 ya watumishi wote wangewakataa makatibu wakuu hao. Ni heri kukosea kuteua kwa mara ya kwanza kuliko kukosea kuteua “mizigo” iliyokuwepo.

Tukirudi kwenye hoja ya msingi ya gharama za kuendesha serikali, nimesema na ninarudia kusema: bila kutakiwa kutoa takwimu hapa, gharama za waziri mmoja na ofisi yake ni ndogo sana kulinganisha na gharama za katibu mkuu mmoja na ofisi yake, kwani waziri tayari analipwa sehemu kubwa ya mshahara na marupurupu kutokana na yeye kuwa mbunge (na hapa niwajuze baadhi ya walionipinga kwamba waziri halipwi mishahara miwili – ya ubunge na ya uwaziri).

Na hapa hatujajadili mikanganyiko mingine ambayo haijawekwa wazi hadi sasa. Kwa mfano kutakuwa na afisa masuhuli mmoja wa wizara au maafisa masuhuli wawili au watatu kwenye baadhi ya wizara? Kwa kawaida wizara inakuwa na fungu (vote) moja; sasa katika hali hii kila idara ya wizara itakuwa na fungu (vote) tatu (ukiacha idara zinazojitegemea)? Je hili la afisa masuhuli mkuu wa wizara kutokuwepo haitaleta shida katika uwajibikaji? Na vipi katika kusimamiwa na bunge na kamati zake? Nani hasa mtendaji mkuu wa wizara atakayewajibika kwa bunge kwa mambo ya kisera ya wizara nzima? Wote watatu?

Hatua hii ya rais magufuli ya kuwa na makatibu wakuu wa vitengo (na siyo wa wizara) ingesubiri hoja ya kikatiba ya mawaziri kutokuwa wanasiasa (wabunge) ili wawe watendaji wakuu na wawajibikaji wakuu wa wizara (cabinet secretaries) kama ilivyo nchi ya jirani ya Kenya.

Lakini kwa sasa ningeshauri hoja hii iahirishwe halafu turudi tena kuijadili baada ya “taasisi” ya makatibu wakuu wapya kupangwa – kwa maana ya kila mmoja kupangiwa idara na wakurugenzi chini yake (na ninahisi kutakuwa na nyongeza ya idara). Na baada ya hapo uchambuzi wa gharama za kuendesha serikali hii ufanywe na ulinganishwe na gharama za uendeshaji wa serikali ya mwisho ya JK ambayo tayari ilikuwa inalalamikiwa kwa ukubwa wake.
