WANASIASA WAILAUMU TAKUKURU

WANASIASA wameinyooshea vidole Taasisi ya Kuzuia na Kupambana na Rushwa Tanzania
(TAKUKURU), wakitaka wajisafishe ili iaminike na kurudisha heshima yake katika jamii.

Wakichangia mada iliyotolewa na Mkurugenzi wa Elimu kwa Umma kutoka Takukuru, Mary Mosha katika mafunzo ya viongozi wa Baraza la Vyama vya Siasa kuhusu Uongozi, Uwajibikaji na Utawala Bora, wanasiasa hao walisema kuwa Takukuru ni chanzo cha rushwa nchini.

Ms Mary Mosha, Mkurugenzi wa Idara ya Elimu kwa Umma Takukuru.

Akichangia mada hiyo, Katibu wa Halmashauri Kuu ya Taifa (NEC) Itikadi na Uenezi wa Chama Cha Mapinduzi, Nape Nnauye alisema kwa sasa Takukuru harufu yao mtaani siyo nzuri.


Nape alisema katika hata mambo ya kawaida yanayoonekana yana mazingira ya rushwa ikiwemo miradi ya maendeleo, maofisa wa Takukuru wamekuwa wakidai wanaendelea na uchunguzi huku wananchi wakizidi kuwalalamikia.


“Takukuru harufu yenu mtaani kwa sasa siyo nzuri, wakati mwingine inaonekana wazi mnatumika kusafisha watu, sasa itafika mahali watu wataona Takukuru ni mzigo maana wanalipwa fedha za walipa kodi, lakini kazi yao haionekani,” alisema Nape.


Alisema watu wamekuwa wakiona rushwa ni ya uchaguzi wakati kuna rushwa mbaya zaidi kwa
baadhi ya watumishi kutumia rasilimali pasipo mpangilio au kwa malengo ambayo hayakukusudiwa bila kuchukuliwa hatua zozote.


“Kwa sasa tunaona rasilimali hazitusaidii kwa sababu wanaowajibika kuzisimamia hawatimizi wajibu wao, inatupasa kila mmoja wetu kutimiza wajibu wake kwa sababu Takukuru mkiendelea hivi wananchi watawachukia sana,” aliongeza Nape.


Mwenyekiti wa Baraza hilo ambaye pia ni Mwenyekiti wa Taifa wa chama cha NLD, Dk. Emmanuel Makaidi, alisema adui mkubwa wa rushwa nchini ni Takukuru yenyewe kwa kuwa uwajibikaji wao ni mbovu na viongozi wake hawatekelezi majukumu yao ipasavyo.


Kwa upande wake, mwanasiasa mkongwe nchini, Lifa Chipaka ambaye pia ni Mwenyekiti wa Taifa wa TADEA, alisema rushwa haipo tu ndani ya vyama, bali hata ukwepaji wa kodi unaofanywa na wafanyabiashara ni rushwa.


Chipaka alisema watumishi wa Takukuru wamekuwa wakilipwa fedha nzuri, wakipewa magari ya kifahari ya kutembelea na nyumba nzuri, lakini hakuna wanachokifanya katika jamii.


Mapema, akitoa mada yake, Mosha alisema kama vyama vya siasa visipodhibiti rushwa ndani ya vyama vyao, vitashindwa kudhibiti hata nje ya vyama na hivyo kusababisha kupatikana viongozi wasiofaa.

BAADHI YA WANANCHI WALAUMU KAFULILA KUFUKUZWA UANACHAMA NCCR

Mh. D. Kafulila

Mbunge huyo alionekana anastahili adhabu hiyo baada ya kupitia tuhuma nzito zilizotolewa juu ya Mwenyekiti wa chama hicho, James Mbatia
Wajumbe walipokea na kujadili kina na kura zikapigwa na kuonekana mbunge huyo kutokuwa na imani na mwenyekiti wake na kwenda kinyume na taratibu za chama hicho.

Mbali na kuvuliwa uanachama kwa mbunge huyo pia Hashim Rungwe aliyewahi kuwa mgombea urais katika Uchaguzi Mkuu wa mwaka 2010 nae amevuliwa uanachama.
Hivyo kwa kuvuliwa uanachama kwa mbunge huyo kwa mujibu wa sheria jimbo hilo litakabiliwa na uchaguzi mdogo kupatikana kwa mbunge

Kufuatia sakata hilo, msajili wa Vyama vya Siasa nchini, John Tendwa amelaani vikali na kukitupia lawama chama hicho kwa kitendo cha kumvua uanachama mbunge huyo na kuita kitendo hicho ni cha kukomoana na kusababisha gharama zisizo za lazima kwa Taifa kugharamia Uchaguzi Mdogo katika jimbo hilo

Kwa upande wa Chama cha Chadema kimemkaribisha mbunge huyo kijana machachari kujiunga na chama hicho baada ya kufukuzwa NCCR-Mageuzi.
"Milango yetu ipo wazi kwa mujibu wa Katiba, Kanuni na taratibu za chama chetu,"kilisema chama hicho

Hata hivyo baadhi ya wananchi nao walilaani kitendo hicho cha kumvua uanachama mbunge huyo ambaye alikubalika jimboni kwake kuokana na harakati zake za kutetea wanaanchi wa jimbo lake na kitendo hicho kimeonekana na sawa na kuwanyanyasa wananchi wa jimbo hilo

RAIS ANAYETUHUMIWA NA ICC AHAIRISHA ZIARA YAKE TANZANIA.

 

Tanzania's President, Jakaya Kikwete (L) speaks during a joint press conference with his Sudanese counterpart Omar al-Bashir (R) in Khartoum on September 8, 2008 (library photo: AFP)

The Sudanese president Omer Hassan al-Bashir has reportedly cancelled a trip he was planning to make to Tanzania last week.

Local newspapers in Khartoum said that Bashir was headed to Dar es Salaam on Friday December 9th for talks with his Tanzanian counterpart Jakaya Kikwete on issues of mutual concern. He was to be accompanied by his foreign Minister Ali Karti, Defence Minister Abdel-Rahim Mohamed Hussein and minister of the presidency Bakri Hassan Saleh.

Tanzania along with Uganda has recently voted against Sudan’s bid to join the East African Community (EAC) citing concerns over Khartoum’s democratic practices and its treatment of women as well as geographic proximity.

Bashir was apparently planning to participate in the celebrations marking Tanzania’s 50th Independence Day which took place last Friday.

But the visit was called off last minute for coinciding with swearing in ceremony of new cabinet and was to be rescheduled.

This would have been the fifth country visited by the Sudanese leader that is a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Bashir is the first sitting president indicted by the ICC, which issued an arrest warrant on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Sudan’s troubled Darfur region.

BARCELONA YATWAA UBINGWA WA VILABU DUNIANI, WAICHAPA SANTOS YA BRAZIL

Barcelona wameshinda kombe la dunia la Fifa kwa vilabu baada ya kuicharaza timu ya Santos ya Brazil kwa mabao 4-0 kwenye mchezo wa fainali uliyochezwa nchini Japan.

Barcelona mabingwa wa kandanda kwa vilabu duniani

Ushindi huo umeendeleza rekodi nzuri ya klabu hiyo kwa mwaka huu ambapo wao ni mabingwa wa Ligi ya Hispania maarufu La Liga, wanashikilia ubingwa wa vilabu vya Ulaya na pia Kombe la Hispania maarufu Spanish Super Cup.
Mpachika mabao wa timu ya taifa ya Argentina Lionel Messi alifunga mabao mawili, huku mengine yakiwekwa kimiani na Xavi pamoja na nahodha na kiungo wa zamani wa Arsenal Cesc Fabregas.
Ushindi huo unathibitisha kwamba Barcelona inaendelea kusalia timu bora ya kusakata kandanda duniani.
"Tulicheza mchezo wetu kwa ukamilifu," alisema nahodha Carles Puyol. "Ulikuwa mchezo mzuri, mchezo mgumu sana na tumefurahi sana kwa matokeo haya."
Mchezo huo baina ya mabingwa wa kandanda wa Ulaya na wa Amerika Kusini mjini Yokohama ulikuwa ukitajwa kuwa kivutio kati ya Messi, anayeaminika ndiye mchezaji bora wa soka duniani na mshambuliaji hatari wa Brazil mwenye umri wa miaka 19 Neymar, ambaye anatajwatajwa huenda akajiunga na ama na Barca au Real Madrid.
Lakini haikuwa hivyo - Messi akionekana kushamiri katika mchezo huo na kutajwa mchezaji bora wa mechi hiyo na pia akapata tuzo ya mchezaji mwenye thamani kubwa katika michuano hiyo wakati Barcelena ikiweka kibindoni kombe la ubingwa wa dunia kwa mara ya pili mfululizo katika misimu mitatu.
Bao lake la kwanza alifunga kwa kuubetua mpira kama ilivyo kawaida yake na la pili alifunga kwa ustadi mkubwa baada ya kumzunguka mlinda mlango wa Santos Cabral.
Santos walibadilika na kucheza soka nzuri kipindi cha pili na Neymar nusura afunge baada ya kupatiwa pasi nzuri akiwa amebakia peke yake na mlinda mlando wa Barcelona Victor Valdes, lakini Valdes akafanikiwa kuokoa.
"Barcelona walistahili kushinda. Ni timu bora duniani na tumejifunza somo muhimu," alisema Neymar.
Timu ya Qatar ya Al Sadd, ambayo ililazwa mabao 4-0 na Barcelona katika hatua ya nusu fainali, iliwafunga mabingwa wa Japan Kashiwa Reysol mabao 5-3 kwa mikwaju ya penalti na kufanikiwa kushika nafasi ya tatu ya michuano hiyo inayofanyika kila mwaka kwa kushirikisha mabingwa wa soka wa mabara duniani

CUF NA NCCR MMEPATWA NA NINI!!?

 Mbunge wa Wawi, Hamad Rashid Mohamed  Waandishi Wetu WAKATI uongozi wa CUF, ukiwa bado haujamwita kwenye Kamati ya Maadili, Mbunge  wa Wawi, Hamad Rashid Mohamed, Mbunge wa Kigoma Kusini, David Kafulila, amesema hatishwi na kikao cha dharura cha Halmashauri Kuu ya chama chake cha NCCR-Mageuzi, kinachotarajiwa kuketi kesho kumjadili kama inavyodaiwa. CUF na NCCR- Mageuzi vimekuwa katika migogoro ya ndani kwa muda mrefu na kadiri siku zinavyosonga mbele, migogoro hiyo inaonekana kuendelea kukua kiasi cha kutishia uhai wa vyama hivyo vya upanzani. Upande wa CUF Wakati uongozi wa chama hicho ukiwa bado unasuasua kumpa barua ya wito Hamad kama ilivyoahidiwa na Naibu Katibu Mkuu wake Bara, Julius Mtatiro, wanachama 4,000 wa chama hicho Kata ya Manzese, jijini Dar es Salaam wameonya kwamba kitendo cha kumzuia mbunge huyo kufanya mikutano, kinaweza kusababisha mpasuko mkubwa ndani ya chama. Mtatiro jana aliliambia gazeti hili kuwa chama hicho bado hakijampekelea barua Hamad  kumwita kwenye kikao hicho cha maadili, lakini mpango wake huo, haujabadilika. "Bado tutampelekea tu na tutamuita  katika Kamati ya Maadili ya chama muda wowote  kuanzia sasa,”alisema Mtatiro. Akieleza sababu za kumwita mbunge huyo pekee na sio Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad, Mtatiro alisema Hamad Rashid, ndiye aliyeanza kuzungumza na waandishi wa habari na kueleza matatizo yake aliyonayo ndiyo maana uongozi ukabaini kwamba kuna kila sababu za kumuita na kuzungumza naye. Alisema baada ya kumwandikia barua,  vikao vya ndani vya chama vitakaa na kumhoji na maamuzi yatakayotafanyika kikatiba ndio yatakayoamua hatima yake. “Vikao vya ndani ndivyo hasa vitakavyojua  hatma ya Hamad Rashid na sio mimi. Kwa kweli siwezi kukueleza chochote kile sasa hivi,”alisema Wakati chama kikipanga kumwita, Hamadi mwenyewe amezungumzia hatua hiyo kuwa ni ukiukwaji mkubwa wa katiba akieleza kuwa kimsingi alipaswa kuitwa katika vikao vya chama na sio kuhukumiwa na kushutumiwa kupitia vyombo vya habari. Kauli ya mbunge huyo wa Wawi ilikuja baada ya Mtatiro kutoa kauli kwenye mkutano na wanahabari akidai kuwa kitendo cha Hamad kufanya mkutano na wanachama wa Tawi la Chechinya, Manzese  bila kibali  cha chama ni kwenda kinyume na taratibu. Wananchama 4,000 Wakati uongozi huo  wa CUF ukisuasua kumpa barua Hamad wanachama 4,000 wa Kata ya Manzese jijini Dar es Salaam, wameonya kuhusu kitendo cha kumzuia mbunge huyo kuendelea na mikutano yake. Wanachama hao waliyasema hayo jana kufuatia mbunge huyo kushindwa kukabidhi msaada wa samani za ofisi ya kata hiyo alizopaswa kuzikabidhi Desemba 11 mwaka huu, lakini akazuiwa na ulinzi wa chama hicho wanaojulikana kama Blue Guard. Katibu wa Kata hiyo, Hamdan Kulangwa alisema kitendo cha mbunge huyo kuzuiwa na walinzi wa chama hicho kinakiuka taratibu za chama na hivyo kuwasikitisha sana wapenzi na wanachama wake katika kata hiyo. “Sisi tulimwalika Hamad Rashid aje atukabidhi msaada wa samani za ofisi ambazo tulimwomba atusaidie, lakini siku ya tarehe 11 Disemba, alipofika kabla hajaanza kufanya lolote lilikuja kundi la Blue Guard na kumzuia kuzungumza na sisi,” alisema Kulangwa Kafulila: Sina hofu kikao cha NEC Wakati upepo ukivuma vibaya ndani ya CUF, NCCR nako mambo bado magumu baada ya mbunge wa Kigoma Kusini, David Kafulila, kusema kuwa hana hofu na kikao cha NEC ya chama hicho inayoketi  kesho. Kafulila ambaye anadaiwa kuzungumza mambo ya ndani ya chama katika vyombo vya habari pamoja na kupingana wazi wazi na mwenyekiti wake, James Mbatia kinyume alisema  hana wasiwasi kwa kuwa mpaka sasa hakuna ajenda zilizowekwa wazi juu ya mambo yatakayojadiliwa katika kikao hicho. Kafulila alisema, “Mimi ni mjumbe wa kikao hicho na nitakuwepo, ila mpaka sasa sijaelezwa ajenda…, hili ni jambo dogo na kila kitu kitajulikana katika kikao, nadhani kikao kitajadili mambo mbalimbali,” alisema Kafulila. Alipoulizwa hoja atakazoziwasilisha iwapo atajadiliwa katika kikao hicho, Kafulila alisisitiza kwamba hawezi kulizungumzia suala hilo kwa kuwa mpaka sasa hajui nini kitakachojadiliwa.

JAN POULSEN AIPASHA TFF

Sweetbert Lukonge KOCHA wa timu ya Tanzania, Jan Poulsen amelishutumu waziwazi Shirikishi la Soka nchini (TFF) kwa kuharibu mipango yake ya maandalizi ya mechi za kufuzu Kombe la Dunia 2014.Poulsen aliondolewa kuifundisha timu ya taifa ya Tanzania Bara 'Kilimanjaro Stars' kwenye mashindano ya Kombe la Chalenji yaliyomalizika hivi karibuni na Uganda kuibuka mabingwa. Nafasi hiyo ya Poulsen walipewa makocha Charles Mkwasa na Jamhuri Kiwehlu ikiwa na wachezaji wa Tanzania Bara pekee kwa sababu Zanzibar nayo inashiriki michuano hiyo. "Kazi yangu inakuwa ngumu sana kwa sababu tunatakiwa kujipanga kwa ajili ya mechi zetu za kufuzu 2012," Poulsen aliimbia BBC."Napopata fursa ya kuwa na wachezaji kwa muda mrefu ndivyo ninavyowafahamu zaidi. Muda uliobaki ni mfupi kabla ya kuanza kwa mechi za mchujo hapo Juni. "Unaweza ukajiuliza kuna umuhimu gani wa kubadilisha timu kwa kiasi kubwa kwa ajili ya michuano ya Chalenji badala ya kuendelea kuwa na kikosi kile kile kilichocheza mechi mbili za mwisho dhidi ya Chad," alisema Poulsen. Mdenmark huyo alikuwa kwenye jukwaa wakati Kilimanjaro Stars ikitupwa nje kwenye nusu fainali na Uganda na kuzomewa na mashabiki wake.Alipoulizwa kama ilikuwa na umuhimu wote kwa makocha hao ndani kuifundisha timu hiyo, Poulsen alisema. "Sina uhakika kama ningeweza kufanya hivyo mimi. Lakini TFF wana sababu zao na jinsi wanavyotaka kuendeleza soka la Tanzania," alisema."Nafikiri tunatakiwa kujipanga kwa umakini na kuwa na mawasiliano mazuri kati yetu. Ni matumaini yangu mambo yatakuwa mazuri siku zijazo." Akijibu madai hayo ya Poulsen, katibu mkuu wa TFF, Angatile Osiah alisema uamuzi huo ulitokana na kilio cha Watanzania wengi kutaka kocha asiifundishe Kilimanjaro Stars. "Yeye ni kocha mkuu wa timu ya Taifa ya Tanzania na sio Tanzania Bara (Kilimanjaro Stars)," alisema Osiah.

SHILINGI BILIONI 64 ZATUMIKA KUGHARAMIA SHEREHE ZA MIAKA 50 YA UHURU WA TANGANYIKA.

The government of Tanzania spent a total of TSh. 64 billion  to facilitate celebrations to mark the  50th independence anniversary of  Mainland Tanzania.

Sources from the celebrations organising committee and Treasury confided separately to The Citizen that the  money was  spent on exhibitions by all ministries and some government agencies, plus the grand gala that marked the  climax  of the event  at Uhuru Stadium in Dar es Salaam last Friday.

Some Sh8 billion was allocated to local governments. Regional administration and local government authorities organised celebrations in  all  of the Mainland’s 21 regions, and 136 district councils.

Major  items on which the money  was spent included preparatory logistics, fuel, per diem for civil servants and printing costs for leaflets highlighting  achievements that   respective districts and regions had registered over the 50-year period.In Dar es Salaam, the celebrations started in earnest in July, shortly after the Public Service Week. Ministries took turns  at the Mnazi Mmoja grounds, to showcase their  activities.

Ministerial exhibitions, per diem dues ‘ and other exhibition-related expenses ‘swallowed’ between Sh9 and 11 billion, the source from Treasury hinted.

The same source revealed that about Sh213 million was given to Tanzania trade Development Authority (TanTrade), to finance some ministerial  exhibitions as well as those of state agencies and  the private sector, at Mwalimu Nyerere exhibition grounds along Kilwa Road in Dar es Salaam.

Reached for comment last week, the TanTrade chief executive officer, Mr Ramadhan Khalfan, said his organisation  had presented  a budget of Sh613 million  for the exhibitions but was given only Sh213 million.He also said the government barred them from charging entry fees to recoup some of the expenses incurred in organising the fair.

“Our budget was for preparations of the pavilions to enable the exhibitors to have a convenient  area and space to showcase their activities... we are not part of other expenses on the Uhuru exhibitions held elsewhere,” Mr Khalfan said.

Some reports  suggest that money  wasn’t allocated equitably to ministries, citing Sh600million  for the Ministry for Finance and Economic Affairs  for the 12-day exhibition at Mwalimu Nyerere grounds.A senior officer within the Finance ministry who is also part of the team at the exhibition that ends today, said  staff manning the pavilion are paid  a daily  Sh100,000 allowance  each.

Enquiries by this paper showed that allocations to ministries ranged from Sh30million to Sh150 million.  The ministry of Industries, Trade and Marketing reportedly received Sh30million. Each of the nearly 5,000 youngsters who participated in the mass display on Friday  was reportedly paid Sh40,000, but a figure for defence and security staff who staged  various shows couldn’t be obtained.

BADO UTATA WAGUBIKA KIFO CHA KONSTEBO DAVID ALIYEJIUA LINDONI NMB.

Askari Polisi wakijaribu kuwatawanya wananchi waliokuja kushuhudia tukio hilo la askari kujiua nje ya Makao Makuu ya Benki ya NMB mtaa wa Azikiwe na Jamuhuri.

ASKARI Polisi, Konstebo David Selemani (22) aliyejiua kwa kujipiga risasi jijini Dar es Salaam inadaiwa kabla ya kuchukua uamuzi huo, aliwasiliana na ndugu zake wengi wakiwemo ambao hakuwa amewasiliana nao kwa muda mrefu.


Kamanda wa Polisi wa Mkoa wa Ilala, Faustine Shilogile ambaye kwa mujibu wake polisi inaendelea na uchunguzi kubaini sababu za kufanya hivyo, alisema hatua hiyo iliwashangaza ndugu hao.


Shilogile alisema uchunguzi unaofanyika ni pamoja na kuwasiliana na kampuni ya simu ya mtandao aliokuwa akiutumia ili kufahamu mtu aliyekuwa akiwasiliana naye kabla ya kujiua.


Kwa upande wa ndugu na marafiki wa askari huyo waliozungumza na gazeti hili kabla ya mwili wake kusafirishwa kwenda mkoani Kilimanjaro kwa maziko, walisema wanaendelea kujiuliza maswali bila majibu juu ya sababu za jamaa yao kuchukua uamuzi huo.


Katika kuaga mwili wa Konstebo David katika Hospitali ya Taifa Muhimbili, mmoja wa ndugu aliyejitambulisha kwa jina moja la Danny, alisema siku moja kabla ya kujiua, alizungumza naye kwa simu akimtaka waonane.


“Mimi shughuli yangu ni dereva, na kwa bahati mbaya siku hiyo nilikuwa safarini, hivyo nilimtaka wakaonane na kaka yangu ili wazungumze kama kulikuwa na jambo la haraka la kuzungumza, sababu nilijua lingeweza kupatiwa majibu na kaka,” alisema Danny.


Alisema siku iliyofuata, akiwa njiani kurudi Dar es Salaam, alishitushwa kupata taarifa za msiba wa David, suala alilodai kuwa limemuacha na maswali mengi juu ya kile kilichosababisha ajiue.

THIERY HENRY AKUMBUKWA KAMA SHUJAA WA ASERNAL KWA KUCHONGEWA SANAMU NJE YA UWANJA WA IMARATI.

Teary Henry as Arsenal unveil statues to former French star, Adams and Chapman

Thierry Henry paid an emotional tribute to Arsenal and his former team-mates after seeing himself immortalised in a bronze statue outside Emirates Stadium on Friday afternoon.

The Gunners record goalscorer was one of three club legends to be honoured as part of their 125th anniversary celebrations, with former manager Herbert Chapman and also captain Tony Adams, who led Arsene Wenger's men to the Double twice, each receiving a similar tribute.
Henry left Arsenal for Barcelona in June 2007, where the Frenchman would go on to lift the Champions League before moving to the Major Soccer League in the United States with New York Red Bulls.

Emotional: It's all a bit much for Thierry Henry as his statue is unveiled

Icon: Arsenal's tribute to former striker Henry

How it should look: Henry celebrating his goal against Spurs back in the 2002/03 season

The 34-year-old, however, insists Arsenal will always remain in his heart.
'I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would have a statue like this in front of the stadium of the team I love and support,' said Henry, who netted 226 goals as the Gunners won two Premier League titles and the FA Cup twice.
'The way the statue is gives the perfect example of the love I have for the club - me kneeling facing the Emirates Stadium and Highbury behind is amazing.

'I also have to thank the fans, you have always been special, and I always try to give my best, I know times it was not enough, but I always give it all out there on the field for you guys and the club.
'It is kind of weird to think of the amount of great players who have played for Arsenal, and for me to be right here, I have to say thanks to all of them, because I would not be able to be right there kneeling in front of this stadium, without them.
'Also, I must give a special thanks to my close friends.....'

Solid: Tony Adams has a permanent place outside the Emirates Stadium

After taking a few moments to compose himself, Henry added: 'I know some of the press used to kill me for not showing emotion - well, there you go, I am showing emotion for the club I love.
'Whatever I do, I do it with my heart, that is the way I am.

'It was not always easy to cope with the pressure of delivering, but from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Arsenal Football Club for giving me this opportunity to be here in front of this club I love - once a Gooner, always a Gooner.
'Thank you from the bottom of my heart, but I played with some great players too and it would not have been possible without them.'

Standing proud: The statue of Herbert Chapman

Gunners boss Wenger had worked with Henry during their time at Monaco, and was instrumental in helping mould the French winger into one of the world's best players following his £11million move from Juventus in the summer of 1999.
Wenger hailed his former captain as the model professional.
'Thierry deserves the honour he gets today, and I am very proud to witness it,' the Gunners boss said.
'His sensational career was down simply to Thierry's class. He is a player who had everything you dream of as a manager - physical potential, a technical level, super intelligence and what people also forget for many top level athletes, is he was dedicated to his job, with a very serious life.
'He is simply a model (professional) who won everything you can in our world - Thierry, you were really special

Tulimkuta huyu kiboko akiwa amejitosa kwenye dimbwi dogo lililobakia baada ya sehemu kubwa ya ziwa Nzerekela kukauka. Hii ni kutokana na kupungua kwa kina cha maji kwenye mto Rufiji. Nilidokezwa ya kwamba kiboko huyu hapa ndio territory yake iliyobakia na kumlazimu kuendelea kubaki hapo. akienda kwengine watamtoa spidi na atalazimika kuingia kwenye mpambano na dume anayemiliki eneo atakalovamia ili aweze kupewa hifadhi.Alikuwa ni kiboko mkubwaa mtoni - Selous
Njia za viboko wanapotoka kutafuta chakula na kurudi mtoni. 

Viboko hutumia muda mwingi wa siku kwa kukaa ndani ya maji. Hii inatokana na ukweli kwamba ngozi yake haina uwezo wa kupambana na mikimiki ya jua. Huwa wanatoka nje kwa ajili ya kutafuta chochote baada ya jua kuzama. Picha juu ni moja ya mapito ya viboko ambayo tulikutana nayo wakati wa game walk ndani ya pori la akiba la Selous. Inakoelekea njia hiyo ndipo ulipo mto Rufiji.

Kutokana na hali ya kuwa na himaya, ni jambo la msingi sana kwa kiboko kujua ilipo himaya yake ili asijikute kaingia kwenye himaya ya mwingine na kuzua mgogoro wa himaya. Ndio maana viboko wanakuwa na tabia ya kuweka alama kwenye mapito yao kwa kutumia haja kubwa ili kuweza kujua njia ya kuweza kumfikisha kwenye eneo lake mtoni au bwawani. Picha juu ni kinyesi cha kiboko ambacho amekitapanya kwenye mti ikiwa ni kama alama yake ya barabarani kumuonyesha njia ya kufuata kwenda malishoni na kurudi mtoni.

"Kamwe usiombe kukutana nae akiwa njiani kurudi mtoni halafu na wewe ukawa umesimama kwenye njia yake bila kujua" Hayo yalikuwa ni maneno ya guide wetu siku hii akitutahadharisha hatari za kukutana na kiboko uso kwa uso. Viboko huwa anakosa imani anapokuwa nje ya maji kwana hujiona yeye ndio mvamizi. mara nyingi anapohisi tishio lolote yeye huanza kutafuta njia ya kurudi mtoni kwenye himaya yake. Kwa mantiki hiyo hataweza kuruhusu jambo lolote limzuie ktk barabara yake kwa namna yoyote ile. Ikitokea wewe ndio umesimama kwenye njia yake basi utapewa kikumbo ambacho kinaweza kukupa majeraha ya kudumu kama sio kuondoa uhai wako.

Hii ni sehemu nyingine kwenye njia yao ambayo nayo walikuwa wameweka alama zao

Wote huweka alama, lakini zinakuwa ni tofauti kidogo

Viboko Dume hutawanya kinyesi chao kwa mkia ktk eneo ambalo anaweka alama yake ya kufuata anaporudi bwawani.

Kiboko jike huweka alama, lakini kwakuwa yeye sio mmiliki wa eneo alama zake huwa anazishora chini. Huwa hatapanyi kwa mkia kama vile ambavyo dume anafanya. ktk picha mbili hizi utaona kuna aina moja ya 'mzigo' umetupwa chini wakati mwingine umerushwa mpaka kwenye matawi ya mti ulio pembeni. Ni baadhi ya mambo unayoweza kujionea kwa ukaribu na kujifunza unapoamua kufanya game walk safari.

BALOZI MAHIGA WA UN AKATALIWA NA WASOMALI.

  Somali lawmakers yesterday slammed the United Nations Ambassador to Somalia, Augustine Mahiga, for supporting Somaliland's bid for independence, during a press conference in Nairobi, Kenya.

Somali MP Awad Ahmed Hasharo, who also serves as the chairman of the parliament’s information committee, told the reporters that they condemned Mahiga and his plans to undermine the unity of Somalia,“We call on the United Nations to change the position of representative of United Nations to Somalia. We call on the Somali people to know what has he done in Somalia and what he wants to be do. We are against anyone who interferes with Somalia's political affairs directly or indirectly," said the chairman.

Ambassador Augustine P Mahiga-UN Special Representative to Somalia.

He also has accused the speaker of the Somali Parliament Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan of breaking Somalia's national constitutional code,“The speaker is not sincere about the general interest of the Somali nation and he is against government officials and Somali lawmakers. He is only interested in himself,” the chairman added.

MP Molid Macane Mahamoud told Somalia Report that Mr. Mahiga has routinely created unnecessary drama and misunderstanding amongst Somali officials,“We call on him to stop his actions to separate the Somali people. He is not a Somali. We are against both Sharif Aden and Mahiga. More than 23 lawmakers in Kenya and more than 220 lawmakers inside Somalia do not support these men. Mr. Mahiga failed to solve the Somali crises, so his time is over,” said the MP.

In a statement to Somalia Report, UN Political Office for Somalia  (UNPOS) spokes man Nick Birnback denied the allegations that Mr. Mahiga has spoken in favor of Somaliland Independence, and reiterated UNPOS support for the territorial integrity of Somalia.
