CAG aibua uozo wa ajira Tanapa
James Magai
WATUMISHI 181 wa Shirika la Hifadhi za Taifa (Tanapa), wameajiriwa kinyume cha taratibu za ajira.
Ajira hizo zisizofuata taratibu ndani ya shirika hilo, zimebanika wakati wa ukaguzi wa Mdhibiti na Mkaguzi Mkuu wa Hesabu za Serikali (CAG), Ludovick Utouh.
Kwa mujibu wa Utouh, Tanapa ni mfano wa mashirika mbalimbali ya umma yanayotoa ajira za watumishi kwenye sekta mbalimbali kinyume cha taratibu.
Utouh anabainisha kwenye uchambuzi wa usimamizi wa raslimali watu katika mashirika mbalimbali ya umma, kuna mashirika ambayo ajira za kazi zilifanywa bila kufuata taratibu za uwazi.
Anabainisha taratibu hizo zinazokiukwa na mashirika hayo wakati wa ajira kuwa, ni kutangaza nafasi zilizo wazi, jambo ambalo linawanyima watu wengi nafasi ya kushindana.
“Mfano mzuri ulibainika Tanapa ambapo menejimenti ilitangaza nafasi 19 za kazi kuwa uwazi, lakini kufikia mwisho mwa zoezi la uajiri, wafanyakazi 32 zaidi waliajiriwa;
“Uchambuzi zaidi ulibaini kuwa wafanyakazi walioajiriwa na Tanapa mwaka huu wa ukaguzi bila nafasi zake kutangazwa ni 181” anasema Utouh.
Licha ya ukiukaji taratibu za ajira katika mashirika ya umma, CAG amebainisha ukiukaji mkubwa wa sheria na haki za wafanyakazi.Miongoni mwa kasoro hizo za ukiukaji sheria na haki za wafanyakazi uliobainishwa, ni kuchelewa kulipa mishahara na malipo ya mishahara chini ya kima cha chini
Taarifa hiyo imebainisha kuwa, uchambuzi wa usimamizi wa raslimali watu juu ya suala la ulipaji mishahara, baadhi ya mashirika ya umma hayatoi umuhimu wa kutosha kuhusu haki ya wafanyakazi kulipwa mishahara.
Kwa mujibu wa taarifa hiyo, baadhi ya mashirika yamekuwa hawalipwi mishahara yao kwa wakati, huku mengine yakiwalipa wafanyakazi wao chini ya kima cha chini cha mshahara.
Shirika lingine ambalo halikuwalipa wafanyakazi wake mishahara, ni Tamko Kibaha ukaguzi huo umebaini kuwa wafanyakazi saba wa zamani, hawakulipwa mishahara yao ya jumla ya Sh2.6 millioni.
Pia, Nyanza Glass Works Limited na Shirika la Maendeleo la Taifa (NDC), kuwa yanawalipa wafanyakazi wake mishahara chini ya kima cha chini cha mishahara.

PhD scholarship at DIIS and RUC on emerging economies and large-scale land acquisitions in Africa
on emerging economies and large-scale land acquisitions in Africa
A PhD scholarship funded jointly by the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) and Roskilde University (RUC) is available from 1 September 2011 or soon thereafter. The PhD scholarship must be completed over a 3-year period and presupposes enrolment in the PhD programme at the Graduate School of International Development Studies at Roskilde University. The position will be jointly placed in DIIS’s research unit Global Economy, Regulation and Development and International Development Studies at RUC.
In the past few years, large overseas land acquisitions for food and biofuels production have taken place in Latin America, Africa and Asia and the term ‘land grabbing’ has become widely used in the media. While these land acquisitions are nothing new, the increased level of activity and the emergence of new players such as China, South Korea, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia indicate not only that the scale of land acquisitions is increasing, but also that a new range of emerging economies are beginning to become major global economic powers. The role of emerging economies in the current land rush is therefore an interesting subject for further research both from a global economic and political perspective and also from a local development perspective. For example, we know very little about the alliances in investor countries between national governments, corporations and local authorities in securing overseas land. What are the institutional characteristics and dynamics of these public-private ventures? What happens during contract negotiations between foreign investors, host countries and regions, especially in Africa? Who are the actors and what power dynamics are at play between the foreign buyer, the host government, local elites and the rural poor? How is a perceived or real global resource shortage affecting the marginalized rural poor in the areas where land acquisitions are taking place?
The PhD project is expected to combine fieldwork-based studies of local experiences with land acquisitions in selected African countries with the analysis of new dynamics at play between international business, emerging economies, national governments, local political and economic elites, and the rural poor. A modest sum for fieldwork has been secured for the project, but the successful applicant is expected to mobilize additional funds for fieldwork.
PhD candidates are paid a salary according to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). The PhD candidate has a work obligation of up to 840 hours over the 3-year period without additional pay.
Applications are invited from candidates with a Master’s Degree and top academic qualifications. All qualified applicants – regardless of national, ethnic or religious background, gender, age or sexual orientation – are encouraged to apply.
The application should be in English and include a CV, documentation (copies) of examinations passed and a short statement on how the candidate’s previous studies, research and experience will contribute to the project (max 2 pages).
Applications must be submitted in three copies marked “PhD – Emerging Economies” addressed to Director Nanna Hvidt, DIIS, Strandgade 56, DK-1401 Copenhagen K, Denmark, and should reach DIIS no later than Thursday, 19 May 2011 at 12.00 noon. Electronic applications or enclosures will not be accepted.
For any further question about the PhD scholarship, please contact Stefano Ponte (spo@diis.dk) or Christian Lund (clund@ruc.dk).

PASAKA NJEMA WADAU WANGU WOTE
Neno letu la leo linatoka kitabu cha Math 28:1-20.
1 Hata sabato ilipokwisha, ikipambazuka siku ya kwanza ya juma, Mariamu Magdalene, na Mariamu yule wa pili, walikwenda kulitazama kaburi.
2 Na tazama, palikuwa na tetemeko kubwa la nchi; kwa sababu malaika wa Bwana alishuka kutoka mbinguni, akaja akalivingirisha lile jiwe akalikalia.
3 Na sura yake ilikuwa kama umeme, na mavazi yake meupe kama theluji.
4 Na kwa kumwogopa, wale walinzi wakatetemeka, wakawa kama wafu.
5 Malaika akajibu, akawaambia wale wanawake, Msiogope ninyi; kwa maana najua ya kuwa mnamtafuta Yesu aliyesulibiwa.
6 Hayupo hapa; kwani amefufuka kama alivyosema. Njoni, mpatazame mahali alipolazwa.
7 Nanyi nendeni upesi, mkawaambie wanafunzi wake, Amefufuka katika wafu. Tazama, awatangulia kwenda Galilaya; ndiko mtakakomwona. Haya, nimekwisha waambia.
8 Wakaondoka upesi kutoka kaburini, kwa hofu na furaha nyingi, wakaenda mbio kuwapasha wanafunzi wake habari.
9 Na tazama, Yesu akakutana nao, akisema, Salamu! Wakakaribia wakamshika miguu, wakamsujudia.
10 Kisha Yesu akawaambia, Msiogope; enendeni, mkawaambie ndugu zangu waende Galilaya, ndiko watakakoniona.
11 Nao wale walipokuwa wakienda, tazama, baadhi ya askari waliingia mjini, wakawapasha wakuu wa makuhani habari za mambo yote yaliyotendeka.
12 Wakakusanyika pamoja na wazee, wakafanya shauri, wakawapa askari fedha nyingi,
13 wakisema, Semeni, ya kwamba wanafunzi wake walikuja usiku, wakamwiba, sisi tulipokuwa tumelala.
14 Na neno hili likisikilikana kwa liwali, sisi tutasema naye, nanyi tutawaondolea wasiwasi.
15 Basi wakazitwaa zile fedha, wakafanya kama walivyofundishwa. Na neno hilo likaenea kati ya Wayahudi hata leo.
16 Na wale wanafunzi kumi na mmoja wakaenda Galilaya mpaka mlima ule aliowaagiza Yesu.
17 Nao walipomwona, walimsujudia; lakini baadhi yao waliona shaka.
18 Yesu akaja kwao, akasema nao, akawaambia, Nimepewa mamlaka yote mbinguni na duniani.
19 Basi, enendeni, mkawafanye mataifa yote kuwa wanafunzi, mkiwabatiza kwa jina la Baba, na Mwana, na Roho Mtakatifu;
20 na kuwafundisha kuyashika yote niliyowaamuru ninyi; na tazama, mimi nipo pamoja nanyi siku zote, hata ukamilifu wa dahari.
Basi Kristo Afufuke pamoja nasi leo hii.

Call for Pre-Proposals for Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Social Sciences in Sub-Saharan Africa
Call for Pre-Proposals for Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Social Sciences in Sub-Saharan
Africa
1. Objectives
This Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme, funded by the Gulbenkian Foundation,
the Volkswagen Foundation and other European partners aims at
providing sustainable support for research in Sub-Saharan Africa. Besides
an African-European cooperation, special emphasis is put on the development
and extension of academic networks within Africa.
This call is part of the Foundations’ career development strategy for African
researchers in which junior and senior postdoctoral fellows should take responsibility
for developing and executing their own research project and
show leadership responsibilities for their research group (in the case of
senior fellows). The project must be carried out in collaboration with a European
partner institution. The call is open to all scholars from Sub-Saharan
Africa active in the research fields mentioned below.
2. Thematic Scope
Current social, economic and political developments in contemporary Sub-
Saharan societies are at the core of this call for proposals. Cultural and religious
as well as historical questions and approaches can be included but
should not be the main focus of the project. Projects understanding African
countries as entangled in global interdependencies will be given preference.
These interdependencies refer to North-South as well as South-South relations.
Processes of globalization in the African context and their social and/or
cultural impact on societies can be an important aspect of the project. Possible
research areas include: processes of urbanization, the emergence and
scope of violent conflicts, peace building strategies, foreign actors in Africa,
inter-African relationships, questions of social order, measures aiming at
poverty reduction. All projects should have a strong reference to present
questions and problems concerning Sub-Saharan Africa and transcend disciplinary
boundaries and limitations by exploring linkages between disciplinary

The programme is open to applications from disciplines like sociology, cultural
sociology, political science, economics, social anthropology, and social
or political history. Only researchers from Sub-Saharan countries are eligible
for funding.
3. Funding Opportunities
This Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme aims at supporting young African
postdoctoral researchers in Sub-Saharan Africa by (1) providing an opportunity
to enhance both skills and academic qualifications (2) strengthening
partnerships between African and European scholars, and (3) developing and
extending academic networks inside Africa. The programme includes both
junior and senior fellowships. For both fellowship types, a cooperation with a
European partner institution is required. Furthermore, up to 25,000 EUR for
an associated European Postdoctoral Fellow - to enhance the exchange of
scholarly expertise - can be applied for. Additionally, the possibility of an accompanying
assistance by mentors is given. The applications for junior and
senior fellowships should include a statement by the Fellow concerning the
institution she/he intends to collaborate with and what research topics will be
covered. The official grant recipient will be the academic institution in Africa
where the Fellow will be employed. Basic infrastructure should be provided
by the African institution; the fellowship may include administrative costs for
this institution up to a maximum of 5,000 EUR.
Junior fellowship
A three year fellowship (36 months) is offered to outstanding African junior
researchers holding a Ph. D. (not more than three years after completion of
Ph. D.). Project ideas must be developed independently by the applicant and
should be realized primarily at an African institution. The fellowship covers
salary, research, and travel costs up to a maximum of 90,000 EUR.
The budget must be justified specifically. It could include:
· Salary of Fellow or topping up if already employed at the African
research institution (depending on experience and customary local

and/or one from an African institution. The mentorship offers the possibility of
scientific networking and knowledge exchange between Mentors and Fellow.
For meetings between the Fellow and the Mentors, up to 10,000 EUR can be
applied for. The Mentors must agree to act as supporters of the Fellow by
encouraging the career development, introducing them to peer networks and
assisting with publication in international journals. Mentors must not be supervisors
or main collaborators in the project and should be based at an academic
institution different from the institution where the Fellow is employed.
Additionally, the Mentors must not be identical with the European partner institution.
The role of the Mentors is meant to give further assistance beyond
the support of the European partner institution.
Additional support for Postdoctoral Fellows from Europe
As optional feature of this programme, it is possible to receive funding of up
to 25,000 EUR for a European Postdoctoral Fellow. The funds are meant to
support European Postdoctoral Fellows to participate actively in the research
project outlined by the African applicant. The African Fellow needs to apply
for these additional funds for his/her European partner. The European Fellow
must be based at a European research institution. The role of the European
Postdoctoral Fellow in the project has to be described and justified by the applicant.

to training courses which are part of the research projects can be applied for.
These events should take place in Sub-Saharan Africa and should aim for a
high visibility and for the strengthening of networking activities between African
junior and senior researchers as well as European junior and senior researchers.
Applicants are requested to send draft proposals to the Volkswagen
Foundation. If approved, the applicants will be invited to submit a full
