Kwa mujibu wa gazeti la Mtanzania, mwanasiasa huyo mashuhuri, aliondolewa katika nyumba hiyo iliyopo Masaki, Dar es Salaam na kulazimika kuanza kuhamisha vyombo vyake tangu Ijumaa ya Julai 8, mwaka huu.
Kwa muda wote tangu akiwa Spika wa Bunge, Serikali ilikuwa inalipa kiasi cha dola 8,000 ambazo ni sawa na zaidi ya Sh milioni 12 kwa ajili ya nyumba hiyo.
Sitta ambaye baadaye alikuwa waziri katika Wizara ya Afrika Mashariki pamoja na Uchukuzi, aliendelea kuishi katika nyumba hiyo kwa nafasi yake.
Kwa mujibu wa kijana aliyekuwa nyumbani hapo, alisema walianza kuhama tangu mwishoni mwa wiki iliyopita na wanaendelea kuhama kwa kuhamisha vitu kidogo kidogo.
“Ni kweli mzee amehama hapa, tangu Ijumaa tulikuwa tunahamisha vyombo taratibu na sijui kama Serikali imegoma kulipa kodi ama la, ila sasa amehamia jirani tu hapo Mtaa wa Manzese, hapa hapa Masaki.
“Nasikia nyumba imepata mpangaji mpya ndiyo maana wanahama,” alisema.
Alipotafutwa Mkuu wa Kitengo cha Habari, Elimu na Mawasiliano wa Bunge, Owen Mwandumbya, ili kuzungumzia hilo, alimtaka mwandishi kuwatafuta Ofisi ya Rais Menejimenti ya Utumishi wa Umma na Wizara ya Fedha.
Alipotakiwa kutoa ufafanuzi wa utaratibu wa malipo kwa maspika wastaafu, ikiwa ni pamoja na matunzo na nyumba wanazoishi, Owen alisema Bunge halihusiki na stahiki zozote za wastaafu kwa mujibu wa sheria.
“Watafute Utumishi na Wizara ya Fedha, wao ndio wahusika, Ofisi ya Bunge haihusiki na stahiki zozote za wastaafu kwa mujibu wa sheria, isipokuwa Utumishi na Wizara ya Fedha ndio wahusika,” alisema.
Alipotafutwa Waziri wa Nchi, Ofisi ya Rais, Utumishi wa Umma na Utawala Bora, Angellah Kairuki, alisema hana taarifa hizo za kuondolewa kwa Sitta hivyo atafuatilia.
Hata hivyo, alipotafutwa tena kupitia simu yake ya kiganjani, Kairuki alimtaka mwandishi kuwatafuta Hazina, kwamba ndio wanaoweza kulisemea jambo hilo.
“Naomba uwatafute Hazina wakupe ufafanuzi, halafu baadaye urudi kwangu,” alisema Kairuki.
Alipotafutwa Waziri wa Fedha na Mipango, Dk. Philip Mpango kupitia simu yake ya kiganjani, ili kupata ufafanuzi wa suala hilo, alisema: “Ufafanuzi kuhusu malipo kwa viongozi wastaafu unatolewa kwa viongozi husika na si kwa vyombo vya habari.”
Hali hiyo ya Sitta, imekuwa ni tofauti na aliyekuwa Spika wa Bunge la 10, Anne Makinda, ambaye Serikali kupitia Bunge iligharimia matengenezo ya nyumba yake iliyoko Kijitonyama, Dar es Salaam, ambako ujenzi wake ulikumbana na lawama kali za wananchi wanaoishi jirani na eneo hilo.
Spika Makinda alilaumiwa na majirani zake kwa kusababisha usumbufu baada ya kuziba njia inayopita katika eneo hilo kwenda maeneo ya Sinza.
Kwa mujibu wa Margaret Sitta ambaye ni mke wa Samweli Sitta na Mbunge wa Urambo, alisema kuwa walikuwa wakiishi kwenye nyumba hiyo ya Serikali kwa kuwa mumewe alikuwa Waziri wa Uchukuzi, lakini Baraza la Mawazili lilivunjwa tangu mwaka jana hivyo walipaswa kuhama.
COOPERATIVES
A cooperative is an organised group of like-minded producers who combine to form a farmers’ group or partnership. Members share responsibilities and any profit or loss. They speak with a single voice and can purchase feed, equipment, chicks, building material and other supplies more cheaply. Eventually storage facilities can be established and a supply shop set up. The group can also have a strategic plan to reduce competition between individuals, set prices for poultry products and generally work to help one another to establish an industry on a firm footing. Trainers should provide as much assistance as possible to the farmers in establishing a working group that will spearhead the formation of a cooperative. The cooperative may eventually expand into other areas of commerce where the farmers can trade other farm produce in addition to poultry.COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP
This is similar to, but less rigid than a cooperative and is run by a committee representing a district or village community. For example, the committee may be responsible for raising point - of - lay pullets. These they sell at 17 - 18 weeks to individual egg producers and the profits are distributed amongst the community. The committee might purchase and run an incubator, and sell the chicks for meat or egg production at different ages. Or the committee may manage a small broiler or egg farm along commercial lines. In both cases there is opportunity to buy large numbers of chicks and bags of feed. This is usually attractive to the supplier and cheaper for the community. The concept of community farming is to empower people, mainly women, who have no opportunity as individual poultry keepers, to improve their circumstances and to alleviate poverty. Once formed, It can be extended to bio-security programs, vaccination programs against diseases, purchase of medical and other supplies, marketing of meat birds and eggs, dissemination of information, training programs and exchanging information, and greater opportunity to obtain micro-credit. This is critical to allow expansion of the family enterprise. There is a key role here for the poultry trainer who can assist in orchestrating the group by providing advice and guidance.BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
