Nchimbi agusia Samia katika sababu za kujiuzulu: 'Nimeona Rais anatamani mabadiliko'
DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania: MAKAMU wa Rais wa Tanzania, Dkt Emmanuel John Nchimbi, Jumanne, Agosti 25, 2026 alitangaza uamuzi wake wa kujiuzulu wadhifa wake na kustaafu kabisa katika utumishi wa umma na siasa kuanzia Septemba 4, 2026. Katika taarifa rasmi kwa umma iliyotolewa na Afisi ya Makamu wa Rais jijini Dodoma, Dkt Nchimbi alisema tayari amemkabidhi Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan barua rasmi ya kujiuzulu. Dkt Nchimbi alisema ameongozwa na masharti ya Ibara ya 50(2)(c), na Ibara ya 149(2) ya Katiba ya Tanzania, ili kumpa Rais Hassan fursa ya kumteua makamu wa rais mwingine. Akikumbuka kipindi chake cha uongozi, Dkt Nchimbi alisema alikuwa ametoa ahadi kwa rais mwaka mmoja uliopita kwamba angeitumikia Tanzania kwa uaminifu na kuwa tayari kuondoka iwapo kungekuwa na haja ya mabadiliko. "Mnamo Agosti 27, 2025, nilimuahidi Mheshimiwa Rais Dkt Samia Suluhu Hassan kwamba ningemsaidia yeye na nchi yetu kwa uwezo wangu wote na kwa uaminifu mkubwa," akasema Dkt Nchimbi. "Pia nilimhakikishia kwamba wakati wowote atakapoona kuna haja ya kuwa na makamu wa rais mwengine, nitaachia wadhifa huo. Nimeridhika kabisa, bila shaka yoyote, kwamba Rais anatamani mabadiliko, na kwa hivyo nimeamua kutimiza ahadi yangu," akasema Dkt Nchimbi alimshukuru Rais Hassan na chama tawala, CCM, kwa imani waliyoonyesha katika uongozi wake. Pia aliwashukuru raia wa Tanzania kwa kumuunga mkono katika kipindi chake cha utumishi wa umma, akiahidi kuendelea kuwa raia mzalendo. Kujiuzulu kwake hata hivyo pia huenda kunatarajiwa kuzua maoni ya kisiasa hasa baada ya Tanzania kuwa na uchaguzi mkuu uliopita uliozingirwa na utata na kukosolewa na jamii ya kimataifa. Dkt Emmanuel John Nchimbi alizaliwa Desemba 24, 1971, katika Mkoa wa Mbeya na alilewa katika familia iliyojikita katika utumishi wa umma. Babake, Mzee John Nchimbi, ambaye anatoka Wilaya ya Songea, aliwahi kuhudumu kama Kamishina Msaidizi wa Polisi na Kamanda wa Polisi wa Mkoa wa Mtwara. Mbali na kazi yake katika idara ya polisi, Mzee Nchimbi pia alijihusisha na siasa, akihudumu kwa mihula miwili kama mwanachama wa Kamati Kuu ya Taifa ya CCM kupitia tawi la majeshi, kabla ya baadaye kuhudumu kama katibu wa chama hicho katika ngazi ya mkoa.

Serikali Zambia yazuia upinzani kuwasilisha kesi kupinga matokeo; yafunga mahakama kuu
LUSAKA, Zambia: SERIKALI ya Zambia ilifunga mahakama kuu za nchi hiyo Jumatatu, ili kuwazuia watu kuingia katika majengo hayo siku ya mwisho ambayo upinzani ungeweza kuwasilisha kesi ya kupinga matokeo ya uchaguzi wenye utata uliofanyika mwezi huu. Barua kutoka kwa msimamizi mkuu wa idara ya mahakama, ambao Reuters iliona, ilisema kwamba, "kwa sababu za kiusalama, wafanyakazi wote wanashauriwa kutofika kazini leo." Msemaji wa Polisi Godfrey Chilabi aliiambia Reuters kwamba tathmini za kiusalama zilikuwa zikiendelea, lakini akakataa kutoa maelezo zaidi. Msemaji wa idara ya mahakama hakupatikana kutoa maoni. Kiongozi wa upinzani Brian Mundubile alisema wiki iliyopita kwamba alikuwa akipanga kuwasilisha kesi katika Mahakama ya Kikatiba kupinga matokeo ya uchaguzi wa Agosti 13, ambapo alishika nafasi ya pili nyuma ya Rais Hakainde Hichilema. Mwisho wa kuwasilisha kesi kama hiyo ni siku saba baada ya kutangazwa kwa matokeo, muda ambao ungeisha mapema Jumanne. Katika majengo ya Mahakama ya Juu jijini Lusaka, ambako pia kuna Mahakama ya Kikatiba, milango yote ilikuwa imefungwa huku polisi wakionekana ndani ya eneo hilo. Hichilema alichaguliwa tena kwa asilimia 60 ya kura katika taifa hilo kusini mwa Afrika tajiri kwa shaba. Hata hivyo, ripoti mbili za waangalizi huru zilipata dalili kwamba idadi ya kura alizopewa Hichilema huenda ziliongezwa. Hichilema amekanusha madai yoyote ya udanganyifu ili kuwahi ushindi. Baada ya kukamatwa kwa baadhi ya washirika wake, Mundubile aliitwa na polisi wiki iliyopita kwa mahojiano kuhusiana na madai ya vitisho kwa usalama wa taifa, madai ambayo anasema yalibuniwa. Wachanganuzi na mawakili wa haki za binadamu walisema wanashuku kuwa huenda akazuiwa kuwasilisha kesi yake, ingawa chama cha Hichilema kimesema Mundubile yuko huru kutumia njia za kisheria zinazopatikana. "Tunajaribu kadri tuwezavyo kuhakikisha kesi hiyo inawasilishwa, lakini tutaona jinsi mambo yatakavyokwenda," alisema Rais wa New Heritage Party, Chishala Kateka, ambaye chama chake ipo pia katika muungano wa upinzani unaomuunga mkono Mundubile.

In the arid sun baked expanses of West Pokot County, education has long been a luxury deferred by geography, poverty, and conflict. For generations, children of pastoralist communities walked long miles across rugged terrains, their futures frequently disrupted by cross-border cattle rustling. Yet today, against the backdrop of these historical struggles, an architectural marvel rises...
