Hayo yameelezwa leo jijini Dodoma na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Bodi ya Usimamizi wa Stakabadhi za Ghala (WRRB) Asangye Bangu katika mkutano na waandishi wa habari ulioandaliwa na Idara ya Habari – MAELEZO wa kutangaza utekelezaji wa shughuli za kwa mwaka wa fedha 2025/26 na mwelekeo wa mwaka 2026/27.

Bodi ya Usimamizi wa Stakabadhi za Ghala (WRRB) imetangaza maeneo matano ya kimkakati itakayoyatekeleza katika kipindi cha miaka mitano ijayo kuanzia mwaka wa fedha 2026/27 hadi 2030/31, yenye lengo la kuimarisha Mfumo wa Stakabadhi za Ghala, kupanua huduma zake na kuongeza mchango wake katika uchumi wa Taifa.
Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Bodi ya Usimamizi wa Stakabadhi za Ghala (WRRB), Asangye Bangu, ameyasema hayo leo jijini Dodoma katika mkutano na waandishi wa habari ulioandaliwa na Idara ya Habari – MAELEZO.

Imeelezwa kuwa hali ngumu ya kiuchumi imewasababisha vijana wengi kukumbwa na msongo wa mawazo na kujikuta wakitumiwa vibaya na baadhi ya wanasiasa.
Kauli hiyo imetolewa na Rais wa Baraza la Maaskofu Katoliki Tanzania, Mhashamu Wolfgang Pisa, kando ya Mkutano wa 21 wa Shirikisho la Mabaraza ya Maaskofu Katoliki Afrika Mashariki na Kati (AMECEA), unaofanyika jijini Nairobi, Kenya.
Mhashamu Pisa amesema hali hiyo pia inawasukuma vijana wengi kukumbwa na shinikizo la kuhama nchini kutafuta fursa katika maeneo mengine, jambo alilosema ni hatari ikiwa hawatatayarishwa vizuri.
Pisa, ambaye pia ni Askofu wa Jimbo Katoliki Lindi, amesisitiza umuhimu wa kuzungumza na vijana mara kwa mara kupitia njia mbalimbali, ikiwamo mitandao ya kijamii, na kuwahamasisha kutumia mitandao hiyo kwa njia sahihi.
“Wengine ni wahanga wa mazingira kwa sababu ya uchumi, na moja ya matatizo makubwa ni mambo mawili. Kutokana na hizo changamoto, moja ni wanasiasa, wanasiasa wanaotumia vijana kufikisha malengo yao, lakini vijana kwa sababu hawana uchaguzi mkubwa katika uchumi, wakati mwingine ni aidha nijiunge au nitakufa njaa,” ameeleza Pisa.
Amesema kuna haja ya kuwaweka vijana hao karibu na kuwapa ushauri na maelekezo ili wasitumbukie katika tatizo hilo.
Mamlaka ya Mapato Tanzania (TRA) imewataka waajiriwa wake wapya kuzingatia weledi, nidhamu na maadili ya utumishi wa umma ili kuongeza ufanisi katika utoaji wa huduma kwa walipakodi.
Wito huo umetolewa na Mkurugenzi wa Elimu kwa Mlipakodi na Mawasiliano wa TRA, Richard Kayombo, wakati akifungua mafunzo elekezi kwa waajiriwa wapya yanayofanyika katika Chuo cha Kodi, jijini Dar es Salaam.
Kayombo alisema mtumishi wa TRA anapaswa kutekeleza majukumu yake kwa uadilifu, kuwaheshimu walipakodi na watumishi wenzake, huku akisisitiza kuwa nidhamu ndiyo msingi wa mafanikio katika utendaji wa kazi.
Maadili, weledi, kuzingatia kanuni na taratibu za utumishi wao ni nguzo muhimu katika utendaji kazi ndani ya TRA na kutoa huduma bora kwa walipakodi na wananchi kwa ujumla, alisema.
Mafunzo hayo yanalenga kuwajengea waajiriwa wapya uelewa wa majukumu yao, maadili ya utumishi na utamaduni wa kazi ndani ya Mamlaka ya Mapato Tanzania ili waanze majukumu yao kwa ufanisi.
Mwenyekiti wa Baraza la Vijana la CHADEMA (BAVICHA), Deogratias Mahinyila, ametoa wito kwa Watanzania na wadau mbalimbali kushirikiana kuhakikisha hali ya matumizi ya tuhuma za ugaidi dhidi ya wananchi inakomeshwa, akidai kuwa imekuwa ikitumiwa kuwabambikia watu kesi na kulichafua taifa.
Akizungumza leo katika ofisi za zamani za CHADEMA zilizopo Ufipa, Dar es Salaam, Mahinyila amesema kuwa utaratibu wa kuwasingizia na kuwabambikia wananchi kesi za ugaidi hauna haki na unaweza kuharibu taswira ya Tanzania ndani na nje ya nchi.
Amedai kuwa kauli zinazotolewa kuhusu uwepo wa ugaidi nchini zinazua hofu miongoni mwa wananchi na zinaweza kudhoofisha uhusiano wa Tanzania na mataifa mengine pamoja na kuathiri mazingira ya uwekezaji na utalii.
Mahinyila alisema taarifa zilizowahi kutolewa na Jeshi la Polisi zinaonyesha kuwa zaidi ya watu 130 wanakabiliwa na tuhuma za ugaidi, akisisitiza kuwa hali hiyo si jambo la kawaida kwa taifa na inapaswa kutazamwa kwa umakini.
Amehoji mantiki ya kauli zinazodai kuwa Tanzania haina ugaidi wakati kuna watu wanaoshikiliwa na kushtakiwa kwa makosa hayo, akidai kuwa baadhi ya watuhumiwa hao wanakabiliwa na mashtaka yasiyo ya kweli.
Aidha, ameeleza kuwa matumizi ya kesi za ugaidi yanaweza kuwa na athari kwa taswira ya Tanzania kimataifa, akidai pia kuwa yanaweza kuathiri maandalizi ya michuano ya AFCON kutokana na umuhimu unaowekwa na vyombo vya michezo duniani katika masuala ya haki za binadamu.
