NCHI 20 MASKINI DUNIANI
The rankings below were published in Wikipedia from International Monetary Fund’s 2011 gross domestic product per capita (GDP per capita) report and reflecting the countries with the lowest purchasing power parity (PPP). Since 1970, there has been encouraging news emerging from developing countries. According to the UN’s 2010 Human Development Report, life expectancy in developing countries has increased from 59 years in 1970 to 70 years in 2010. School enrollment climbed from 55% to 70% of all primary and secondary school-age children. Also, in the last forty years, per capita GDP doubled to more than ten thousand U.S. dollars. Poor countries are catching up with the wealthier countries, but not all countries are making fast progress. For example, some countries in Sub-Sahara Africa have little or no progress, largely due to the HIV epidemic and civil wars.
The 20 Poorest Countries:
#1. Congo, Democratic Republic of the
GDP Per Capita: $348 (As of 2011)
Not to be mixed with the neighboring Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has become the poorest country in the world as of 2010. Democratic Republic of the Congo was known as Zaire until 1997. Congo is the largest country in the world that has French as an official language – the population of D.R Congo is about six million larger than the population of France (71 million people in D.R Congo vs 65 million in France). The Second Congo War beginning in 1998 has devastated the country. The war that involves at least 7 foreign armies is the deadliest conflict in the world since World War II – by 2008 the Second Congo War and its aftermath had killed 5.4 million people.
#2. Liberia
GDP Per Capita: $456 (As of 2011)
Liberia is one of the few countries in Africa that have not been colonized by Europe. Instead, Liberia was founded and colonized by freed slaves from America. These slaves made up the elite of the country and they established a government that closely resembled that of the United States of America. In 1980 the president of Liberia was overthrown and a period of instability and civil war followed. After the killings of hundreds of thousands, a 2003 peace deal was led to democratic elections in 2005. Today, Liberia is recovering from the lingering effects of the civil war and related economic dislocation, with about 85% of the population lives below $1 a day.
#3. Zimbabwe
GDP Per Capita: $487 (As of 2011)
The government of Zimbabwe released its largest bank note 100 trillion dollar bill issued on January 2009. In addition to the economic problems the life expectancy of Zimbabwe is the lowest in the world – 37 years for men and just 34 for women. One of the problems for the early deaths are the 20.1% of the population with HIV and AIDS. The health issues aren’t seeing any improvement.
#4. Burundi
GDP Per Capita: $615 (As of 2011)
Burundi is known for its tribal and civil wars. Burundi have never really had any peaceful time between the everlasting civil wars as a result its the fourth poorest country. Owing in part to its landlocked geography, poor legal system, lack of economic freedom, lack of access to education, and the proliferation of HIV and AIDS. Approximately 80% of Burundians live in poverty and according to the World Food Programme 57% of children under 5 years suffer from chronic malnutrition; 93% of Burundi’s exports revenues come from selling coffee.
#5. Eritrea
GDP Per Capita: $735 (As of 2011)
Affected by the Italian colonizers of the 19th century. Eritrea’s advantage of controlling the sea route through the Suez Canal made the italians to colonized it just a year after the opening of the canal in 1869 and same reason the British conquered it in 1941. The present Eritrea’s economic conditions have not improved and real gross domestic product growth averaged 1.2 percent between 2005 and 2008; in 2009 GDP growth was estimated at 2.0 percent.
#6. Central African Republic
GDP Per Capita: $768 (As of 2011)
Despite its significant mineral resources; uranium reserves in Bakouma, crude oil, gold, diamonds, lumber, hydropower and its arable land, it remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Diamonds constitute the most important export of the Central Africans Republic, accounting for 40–55% of export revenues. The 2010 UNDP Human Development Report ranks CAR near the bottom of its Human Development Index (159th out of 162 countries) and unlikely to meet its MDG goals. The proportion of Central Africans living on $1 a day has decreased slightly to 62% but it needs to be half of that in order to reach the 2015 goal.
#7. Niger
GDP Per Capita: $771 (As of 2011)
With over 80% of its land is covered by the giant desert of Sahara, Niger has a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in Parity Purchasing Power (PPP) terms of US$771 as of 2011, one of the lowest in Africa. Niger’s poverty is exacerbated by political instability, extreme vulnerability to exogenous shocks and inequality which affects girls, women and children disproportionately. In January 2000, Niger’s newly elected government inherited serious financial and economic problems including a virtually empty treasury and was qualified for enhanced debt relief under the International Monetary Fund program for Highly Indebted Poor Countries.
#8. Sierra Leone
GDP Per Capita: $849 (As of 2011)
A West African country with English as its official language, Sierra Leone has relied on mining, especially diamonds, for its economic base and home to the third largest natural harbour in the world where shipping from all over the globe berth at Freetown’s famous Queen Elizabeth II Quay. It is among the top diamond producing nations in the world, and mineral exports remain the main foreign currency earner and also among the largest producers of titanium and bauxite, and a major producer of gold. Despite this natural wealth, 70% of its people live in poverty. If you have seen the movie Blood Diamond you should know that it is based on Sierra Leone.
#9. Malawi
GDP Per Capita: $860 (As of 2011)
Malawi has one of the lowest per capita incomes in the world, with 53% (2004) living under the poverty line. In December 2000, the IMF stopped aid disbursements due to corruption concerns, and many individual donors followed suit, resulting in an almost 80% drop in Malawi’s development budget. In 2006, Malawi was approved for relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) program. In December 2007, the US granted Malawi eligibility status to receive financial support within the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) initiative. Agriculture accounts for 35% of GDP, industry for 19% and services for the remaining 46%. In addition, some setbacks have been experienced, and Malawi has lost some of its ability to pay for imports due to a general shortage of foreign exchange, as investment fell 23% in 2009.
#10. Togo
GDP Per Capita: $899 (As of 2011)
This small, sub-Saharan economy suffers from anemic economic growth and depends heavily on both commercial and subsistence agriculture, which provides employment for a significant share of the labor force. Cocoa, coffee, and cotton generate about 40% of export earnings with cotton being the most important cash crop. Togo is among the world’s largest producers of phosphate. Approximately one half of the population lives below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day.
#11. Madagascar
GDP Per Capita: $934 (As of 2011)
Madagascar’s mainstay of growth are tourism, agriculture and the extractive industries. Approximately 69% of the population lives below the national poverty line threshold of one dollar per day. The agriculture sector constituted 29% of Malagasy GDP in 2011, while manufacturing formed 15% of GDP. Tourism dropped more than 50% in 2009 compared with the previous year, and many investors are wary of entering the uncertain investment environment.
#12. Afghanistan
GDP Per Capita: $956 (As of 2011)
Afghanistan is probably the only poorest country in the world that doesn’t need any introduction. Due to the decades of war and nearly complete lack of foreign investment, the nation’sGDP per capita stands at $956. Its unemployment rate is 35% and 42 % of the population live on less than $1 a day. As tribal warfare and internecine feuding has been one of their chief occupations since time immemorial. History has never seen Afghanistan lose a war. They might be one of the poorest but they know how to fight. Instead of a traditional army they simply resist with small counter attacks that eventually tire out the enemy.
#13. Guinea
GDP Per Capita: $1,083 (As of 2011)
Guinea also has diamonds, gold, and other metals. The country has great potential for hydroelectric power. Bauxite and alumina are currently the only major exports. Guinea’s poorly developed infrastructure and rampant corruption continue to present obstacles to large-scale investment projects. Agriculture employs 80% of the nation’s labor force. Under French rule, and at the beginning of independence, Guinea was a major exporter of bananas, pineapples, coffee, peanuts, and palm oil. From independence until the presidential election of 2010, Guinea was governed by a number of autocratic rulers, which has contributed to making Guinea one of the poorest countries in the world.
#14. Mozambique
GDP Per Capita: $1,085 (As of 2011)
One of the poorest and most underdeveloped country in the world, 75% of the population engages in small-scale agriculture, which still suffers from inadequate infrastructure, commercial networks, and investment. The minimum legal salary is around US$60 per month.
#15. Ethiopia
GDP Per Capita: $ 1,093 (As of 2011)
Ethiopia suffers from poverty, and poor sanitation. In the capital city of Addis Ababa, 55% of the population lives in slums. Despite its fast growth in recent years, GDP per capita is one of the lowest in the world, and the economy faces a number of serious structural problems. Ethiopia’s economy is based on agriculture, which accounts for 41% of GDP and 85% of total employment. Agricultural productivity remains low, the sector suffers from poor cultivation practices and frequent drought.
#16. Mali
GDP Per Capita: $1,128 (As of 2011)
With 50% of the population living below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day, Mali is one of the poorest countries in the world. Some of its natural resources are gold, uranium, livestock, and salt. Mali remains dependent on foreign aid. Economic activity is largely confined to the riverine area irrigated by the Niger River and about 65% of its land area is desert or semidesert. Mali experienced economic growth of about 5% per year between 1996-2010. The government in 2011 completed an IMF extended credit facility program that has helped the economy grow, diversify, and attract foreign investment.
#17. Guinea-Bissau
GDP Per Capita: $1,144 (As of 2011)
Guinea-Bissau’s legal economy depends mainly on farming and fishing, but trafficking in narcotics is probably the most lucrative trade. With 60% of the population living below the poverty line, drug traffickers based in Latin America use Guinea-Bissau, along with several neighboring West African nations, as a transshipment point to Europe for cocaine. The government and the military did almost nothing to stop this business.
#18. Comoros
GDP Per Capita: $ 1,232 (As of 2011)
Made up of three islands with rapidly increasing population, and few natural resources. As of 2008 about 50% of the population lives below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day, due to numerous coups d’etat since independence in 1975.
#19. Haiti
GDP Per Capita: $1,235 (As of 2011)
Haiti is a free market economy that enjoys the advantages of low labor costs and tariff-free access to the US for many of its exports. Poverty, corruption, and poor access to education for much of the population are among Haiti’s most serious disadvantages. Haiti’s economy suffered a severe setback in January 2010 when a 7.0 magnitude earthquake destroyed much of its capital city, Port-au-Prince, and neighboring areas. Already the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere with 80% of the population living under the poverty line and 54% in abject poverty, the earthquake inflicted $7.8 billion in damages. Seven out of ten Haitians live on less than US$2 a day, according to the International Red Cross.
#20. Uganda
GDP Per Capita: $1,317 (As of 2011)
Uganda is one of the poorest nations in the world, with 37.7 percent of the population living on less than $1.25 a day. Uganda has substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall, small deposits of copper, gold, and other minerals, and recently discovered oil. Despite making enormous progress in reducing the countrywide poverty incidence from 56 percent of the population in 1992 to 31 per cent in 2005, poverty remains deep-rooted in the country’s rural areas, which are home to more than 85 per cent of Ugandans.
SAKATA LA RUSHWA BUNGENI
aandishi Wetu, Dar na Dodoma
SAKATA la wabunge kuhusishwa na rushwa limeingia sura mpya, baada ya Naibu Kiongozi wa Upinzani Bungeni, Zitto Kabwe kuhojiwa na chama chake cha Chadema kwa saa tatu jana.
Wakati Zitto akihojiwa, kambi rasmi ya upinzani bungeni, iliwataja wabunge saba wa CCM na kueleza kuwa ndiyo wanaolichafua Bunge kwa kujihusisha na mambo yenye maslahi binafsi wakiwa watumishi wa umma.
Kadhalika, Naibu Spika wa Bunge, Job Ndugai alisema kwamba Taasisi ya Kuzuia na Kupamba na Rushwa (Takukuru) ilikuwa ikiendelea kuwahoji baadhi ya wabunge kuhusu tuhuma za rushwa na kwamba uchunguzi ukikamilika taarifa zitawekwa wazi.
Zitto ambaye pia ni Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Bunge ya Hesabu za Mashirika ya Umma (POAC) na Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa Chadema, jana aliandika katika ukurasa wake wa mtandao wa Tweeter kwamba alihojiwa na Sekretarieti ya chama chake kutokana na tuhuma za rushwa zinazowagusa badhi ya wabunge.
Katika maelezo yake, Zitto alisema aliiambia sekretarieti ya chama hicho kwamba Chadema kifanye uchunguzi ili kubaini ukweli wa suala hilo na kwamba yuko tayari kuwajibika ikiwa itathibitika kwamba alihusika kula rushwa.
“Kwa saa tatu nimejieleza mbele ya sekretariati ya chama kuhusu tuhuma za rushwa dhidi yangu. Niliomba kutaka kutoa maelezo kwa Katibu Mkuu, nimekiomba chama kufanya uchunguzi na ikibainika hatua zichukuliwe,” inasomeka sehemu ya taarifa hiyo kwenye Tweeter.
Lissu ataja wengine
Kwa upande wake, Mnadhimu Mkuu wa kambi hiyo, Tundu Lissu aliwataja wabunge wa CCM ambao wanatuhumiwa kuwa ni Nasir Abdallah (Korogwe Mjini), Mariam Kisangi (Viti Maalumu), Vicky Kamata (Viti Maalumu) na Charles Mwijage (Muleba Kaskazini) ambao hata hivyo, wote wamekanusha madai hayo.
Wabunge wengine watatu tumeshindwa kuwataja kwa kuwa hawakupatikana kuzungumzia tuhuma dhidi yao.
Katika orodha hiyo wamo wawili wa Viti Maalumu na mmoja wa jimbo na Lissu alidai kwamba wamekuwa wakishiriki vikao vya Kamati ya Nishati na Madini huku wakijua kuwa wana maslahi binafsi na wengine kutumia fursa hiyo kujinufaisha.
“Kwa takriban juma moja sasa kumekuwa na mjadala mzito wa ufisadi hapa bungeni, sasa Kambi Rasmi ya Upinzani imejitathmini na kuona kwamba wabunge wake hasa walioko kwenye Kamati ya Nishati na Madini iliyovunjwa, John Mnyika, David Silinde na Mwanamrisho Abama hawahusiki,” alisema Lissu na kuendelea:
“Ila uchunguzi wetu umefanikiwa kupata majina ya wabunge wanaohusika moja kwa moja na mgongano wa kimaslahi ambao tunaona tuwataje kwa maslahi ya umma.”
Lissu alikwenda mbali zaidi na kutaja tuhuma zinazowahusu wabunge hao akisema wawili ambao gazeti hili halikuwaja, wamejihusisha kufanya biashara na Shirika la Umeme Tanzania (Tanesco) hivyo wana mgongano wa kimaslahi.
Alisema Mwijage ana mgongano wa kimaslahi katika mchakato mzima wa kuipa zabuni ya kusambaza mafuta kampuni ya Puma Energy kwa kuwa yeye ni mtalaamu mwelekezi wa kampuni hiyo inayomilikiwa na Serikali kwa asilimia 50.
“Nasir Abdalah na Mariam Kisangi; Hawa wanamiliki vituo vya mafuta. Sasa kwa namna yeyote ile kuwa wajumbe wa Kamati ya Nishati na Madini hawawezi kutenda haki katika mchakato wowote unaohusu suala la mafuta,” alisema na kuendelea;
"....(jina limehifadhiwa) hana mgongano wa moja kwa moja wa maslahi, lakini kwa kadri tunavyofahamu, yeye ndiye aliyekuwa akiyafanyia kampeni ya kupata zabuni makampuni ya mafuta ya Oryx na Camel na ....(jina limehifadhiwa), suala lake ni complicated kidogo. Maslahi aliyonayo katika suala hilo ni kuwa ana uhusiano wa Kimapenzi na kigogo mmoja katika Wizara ya Nishati na Madini.”
“Hawa ndiyo wajumbe wa Kamati ya Nishati na Madini ambao sisi Kambi ya Upinzani tunawafahamu kuwa ndiyo waliojihusisha na mgongano wa kimaslahi. Tumewaangalia wabunge wetu wote watatu hawamo ila kama kuna mtu ana taarifa zinazowahusu, aseme na tutazifanyia kazi.”
Lissu alisema kitendo cha wabunge kujihusisha na mgongano wa kimaslahi na taasisi za umma ni kinyume na Sheria ya Maadili ya Viongozi wa Umma ya mwaka 1995 na ni kinyume na maadili ya kibunge.
Katika hatua nyingine Lissu amemshauri Spika wa Bunge Anne Makinda kuzivunja pia kamati za Bunge za Serikali za Mitaa (LAAC) na Kamati ya Mashirika ya Umma (POAC) akisema nazo zina madudu mengi.
“Hili lisiishie tu kwa kuvunja Kamati ya Nishati na Madini, tunataka pia kamati za POAC na LAAC zivunjwe, uchunguzi ufanyike na wahusika waitwe kujitetea na hatimaye wenye hatia watajwe hadharani bungeni na majina yao yachapishwe kwenye magazeti ili haki itendeke,” alisema.
Alipoulizwa Chadema imefanya nini dhidi ya Mbunge wake, Zitto Kabwe kutajwa katika orodha hiyo, alijibu: “Nikiri kwamba sisi taarifa tunazo ila hatujamwita kumwuliza. Naomba ieleweke kwamba kama chama au Kambi Rasmi ya Upinzani hatuna maslahi na mbunge yeyote anayeonekana kujihusisha na masuala hayo.”
“Katika hili tunaomba uchunguzi ufanyike na matokeo yake yatangazwe ili tupate msingi wa tuhuma hizo na ninaahidi kwamba tutazifanyia kazi ipasavyo.”
Majibu ya tuhuma
Alipotakiwa kuzungumzia tuhuma hizo, Kisangi alikiri kumiliki kituo cha mafuta lakini akasema sheria haimzuii mtu kama mambo yake anayafanya kwa uwazi.
“Nimekuja bungeni nikitokea kwenye ualimu, nilikuwa nafundisha Shule ya Msingi ya Mianzini na biashara hii ni ya familia. Inaendeshwa kwa uwazi na mwanangu wa kwanza ndiye anayeisimamia. Kutokana na uwazi katika shughuli zangu, mwaka jana Tume ya Maadili ya Viongozi wa Umma ilinipongeza. Mimi ni msafi na siko huko wanakofikiri wao (Chadema).”
Kwa upande wake, Mwijage alikanusha kuwa mtaalamu mwelekezi wa Kampuni ya Puma, badala yake akasema ni mtaalamu wa petroli anayefanya kazi ya kuishauri Serikali kuhusu mambo mbalimbali yanayohusu nishati hiyo.
"Siyo kweli, hawa wanadandia hoja. Mimi ni mtaalamu wa petroli ambaye mchango wangu kimsingi una faida kubwa bungeni na hata kwa jamii kwa ujumla. Sijafanya maamuzi yeyote ya kulihujumu taifa hili na hata kwenye Bajeti ya Wizara ya Nishati na Madini pekee, nilitoa mchango wa kurasa 10 kuhusu masuala hayo ya petroli,” alisema
Aliishauri kambi hiyo ya upinzani kuvuta subira, akieleza kuwa jambo lililoko bungeni linahusu ufisadi na uhujumu uchumi hivyo kauli zinazotolewa bila utafiti zinaweza kuvuruga mchakato mzima uliokwishaanzwa na Kamati ya Maadili ya Bunge.
Awali, Abdallah alipoulizwa kuhusu tuhuma za kumiliki vituo vya mafuta hivyo kuwa na maslahi binafsi, alicheka na kuahidi kwamba angepiga simu baadaye, lakini hakufanya hivyo na alipopigiwa baadaye alikata simu. Hata hivyo, alizungumza na waandishi wa habari na kukanusha kumiliki vituo vya mafuta.
Kamata kwa upande wake alisema: “Kuna kamati maalumu imepewa kazi ya kuchunguza mambo hayo, hivyo yote yanayoulizwa yatakuwa wazi na ukweli utajulikana tu. Nina maslahi au sina ukweli mtaujua, haraka ya nini?.
Mjadala Bungeni
Mjadala huo wa wabunge kuhusishwa na mgongano wa kimaslahi ulianza kulipuka bungeni jana asubuhi baada ya wabunge watatu; Joshua Nassari (Arumeru Mashariki), Salum Barwany (Lindi Mjini) na Mbunge wa Nkasi Kaskazni, Ali Kessy kutaka wabunge wanaotuhumiwa kwa ufisadi watajwe bungeni ili kuisafisha taasisi hiyo ya kutunga sheria.
"Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika juma lililopita Mheshimwa (Vita) Kawawa alitoa hoja kutaka suala la ufisadi lishughulikiwe kwa kuvunjwa Kamati ya Madini na Spika akaridhia na kulipeleka suala hilo kwenye Kamati ya Maadili. Kwa nini Kamati nyingine zilizohusishwa na ufisadi huo nazo zisivunjwe?” alihoji Nassari na kuendelea:
“Kuna Kamati ya Hesabu za Serikali za Mitaa (LAAC) inayoongozwa na Mheshimiwa Mrema na Kamati ya Mashirika ya Umma (POAC) inayoongozwa na Zitto. Kuna tabia ya wabunge kuzikimbia kamati zisizokuwa na mikataba kama Kamati ya Huduma za Jamii na wanazikimbilia kamati zenye mikataba.”
Barwany alitaka Bunge litajiwe majina ya wabunge waliotuhumiwa kwenye kashfa hiyo mpaka wakapelekwa kwenye Kamati ya Maadili, akieleza kuwa hili litasaidia kulisafisha... “Tumeambiwa Kamati ya Maadili inajadili suala hilo, lakini hatujatajiwa ni wabunge gani waliopelekwa huko, tunaomba mtutajie ili Bunge lijisafishe.”
“Mimi naungana na wazo la Barwany na Nassari. Majina yatajwe wabunge tunadhalilishwa na wananchi huko mitaani. tuwataje hadharani,’ alisema Kessy.
Akitoa mwongozo wa hoja hiyo, Ndugai aliiagiza Kamati ya Uongozi ya Bunge kutoka kwenye ukumbi wa Bunge ili wakajadili suala hilo na baadaye apelekewe taarifa.
“Naamini wenyeviti wote wa kamati mmo humu ndani, naomba sasa hivi mwende kwenye Ukumbi wa Spika mkajadili suala hilo halafu nipate majibu sasa hivi,” alisema.
Baadaye jioni, Ndugai alisema kuwa Spika hawezi kuwataja kwa majina wabunge ambao wanajihusisha na rushwa kwa kuwa hawajui.
Alisema Kamati ya Uongozi iliyokutana jana mchana ilikubaliana kuwa ufanyike uchunguzi wa kina kwa ajili ya kuwabaini wale wanaoshukiwa na kwamba ikibainika Bunge litawaanika hadharani.
“Kamati imerejea kumbukumbu za hansard ya Jumamosi kuwa ufanyike uchunguzi wa kina juu ya jambo hilo na wabunge mtaitwa kwa ajili ya kutoa ushirikiano, ikumbukwe kuwa mbunge akiitwa siyo kwamba ndiyo amekuwa mtuhumiwa, bali pale itakapothibitika majina yatawekwa hadharani,’’ alisema Ndugai.
Naibu Spika alitahadharisha kuwa ndani ya Kamati hiyo utafanyika uchunguzi wa kutosha kubaini kama kuna mjumbe mwenye maslahi kwa wale wahusika basi ataondolewa ili kutoa nafasi kwa kamati kufanya kazi yake ipasavyo.
Aliwatahadharisha wabunge kuwa Kamati hiyo haitaingilia utaratibu wa vyombo vya dola ambao wamekuwa wakiufanya ikiwemo wa Takukuru wa kuwahoji baadhi ya wabunge.

In addition, some setbacks have been experienced, and Malawi has lost some of its ability to pay for imports due to a general shortage of foreign exchange, as investment fell 23% in 2009.
#10. Togo
GDP Per Capita: $899 (As of 2011)
This small, sub-Saharan economy suffers from anemic economic growth and depends heavily on both commercial and subsistence agriculture, which provides employment for a significant share of the labor force. Cocoa, coffee, and cotton generate about 40% of export earnings with cotton being the most important cash crop. Togo is among the world’s largest producers of phosphate. Approximately one half of the population lives below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day.
#11. Madagascar
GDP Per Capita: $934 (As of 2011)
Madagascar’s mainstay of growth are tourism, agriculture and the extractive industries. Approximately 69% of the population lives below the national poverty line threshold of one dollar per day. The agriculture sector constituted 29% of Malagasy GDP in 2011, while manufacturing formed 15% of GDP. Tourism dropped more than 50% in 2009 compared with the previous year, and many investors are wary of entering the uncertain investment environment.
#12. Afghanistan
GDP Per Capita: $956 (As of 2011)
Afghanistan is probably the only poorest country in the world that doesn’t need any introduction. Due to the decades of war and nearly complete lack of foreign investment, the nation’sGDP per capita stands at $956. Its unemployment rate is 35% and 42 % of the population live on less than $1 a day. As tribal warfare and internecine feuding has been one of their chief occupations since time immemorial. History has never seen Afghanistan lose a war. They might be one of the poorest but they know how to fight. Instead of a traditional army they simply resist with small counter attacks that eventually tire out the enemy.
#13. Guinea
GDP Per Capita: $1,083 (As of 2011)
Guinea also has diamonds, gold, and other metals. The country has great potential for hydroelectric power. Bauxite and alumina are currently the only major exports. Guinea’s poorly developed infrastructure and rampant corruption continue to present obstacles to large-scale investment projects. Agriculture employs 80% of the nation’s labor force. Under French rule, and at the beginning of independence, Guinea was a major exporter of bananas, pineapples, coffee, peanuts, and palm oil. From independence until the presidential election of 2010, Guinea was governed by a number of autocratic rulers, which has contributed to making Guinea one of the poorest countries in the world.
#14. Mozambique
GDP Per Capita: $1,085 (As of 2011)
One of the poorest and most underdeveloped country in the world, 75% of the population engages in small-scale agriculture, which still suffers from inadequate infrastructure, commercial networks, and investment. The minimum legal salary is around US$60 per month.
#15. Ethiopia
GDP Per Capita: $ 1,093 (As of 2011)
Ethiopia suffers from poverty, and poor sanitation. In the capital city of Addis Ababa, 55% of the population lives in slums. Despite its fast growth in recent years, GDP per capita is one of the lowest in the world, and the economy faces a number of serious structural problems. Ethiopia’s economy is based on agriculture, which accounts for 41% of GDP and 85% of total employment. Agricultural productivity remains low, the sector suffers from poor cultivation practices and frequent drought.
#16. Mali
GDP Per Capita: $1,128 (As of 2011)
With 50% of the population living below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day, Mali is one of the poorest countries in the world. Some of its natural resources are gold, uranium, livestock, and salt. Mali remains dependent on foreign aid. Economic activity is largely confined to the riverine area irrigated by the Niger River and about 65% of its land area is desert or semidesert. Mali experienced economic growth of about 5% per year between 1996-2010. The government in 2011 completed an IMF extended credit facility program that has helped the economy grow, diversify, and attract foreign investment.
#17. Guinea-Bissau
GDP Per Capita: $1,144 (As of 2011)
Guinea-Bissau’s legal economy depends mainly on farming and fishing, but trafficking in narcotics is probably the most lucrative trade. With 60% of the population living below the poverty line, drug traffickers based in Latin America use Guinea-Bissau, along with several neighboring West African nations, as a transshipment point to Europe for cocaine. The government and the military did almost nothing to stop this business.
#18. Comoros
GDP Per Capita: $ 1,232 (As of 2011)
Made up of three islands with rapidly increasing population, and few natural resources. As of 2008 about 50% of the population lives below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day, due to numerous coups d’etat since independence in 1975.
#19. Haiti
GDP Per Capita: $1,235 (As of 2011)
Haiti is a free market economy that enjoys the advantages of low labor costs and tariff-free access to the US for many of its exports. Poverty, corruption, and poor access to education for much of the population are among Haiti’s most serious disadvantages. Haiti’s economy suffered a severe setback in January 2010 when a 7.0 magnitude earthquake destroyed much of its capital city, Port-au-Prince, and neighboring areas. Already the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere with 80% of the population living under the poverty line and 54% in abject poverty, the earthquake inflicted $7.8 billion in damages. Seven out of ten Haitians live on less than US$2 a day, according to the International Red Cross.
#20. Uganda
GDP Per Capita: $1,317 (As of 2011)
Uganda is one of the poorest nations in the world, with 37.7 percent of the population living on less than $1.25 a day. Uganda has substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall, small deposits of copper, gold, and other minerals, and recently discovered oil. Despite making enormous progress in reducing the countrywide poverty incidence from 56 percent of the population in 1992 to 31 per cent in 2005, poverty remains deep-rooted in the country’s rural areas, which are home to more than 85 per cent of Ugandans.
SAKATA LA RUSHWA BUNGENI
aandishi Wetu, Dar na Dodoma
SAKATA la wabunge kuhusishwa na rushwa limeingia sura mpya, baada ya Naibu Kiongozi wa Upinzani Bungeni, Zitto Kabwe kuhojiwa na chama chake cha Chadema kwa saa tatu jana.
Wakati Zitto akihojiwa, kambi rasmi ya upinzani bungeni, iliwataja wabunge saba wa CCM na kueleza kuwa ndiyo wanaolichafua Bunge kwa kujihusisha na mambo yenye maslahi binafsi wakiwa watumishi wa umma.
Kadhalika, Naibu Spika wa Bunge, Job Ndugai alisema kwamba Taasisi ya Kuzuia na Kupamba na Rushwa (Takukuru) ilikuwa ikiendelea kuwahoji baadhi ya wabunge kuhusu tuhuma za rushwa na kwamba uchunguzi ukikamilika taarifa zitawekwa wazi.
Zitto ambaye pia ni Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Bunge ya Hesabu za Mashirika ya Umma (POAC) na Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa Chadema, jana aliandika katika ukurasa wake wa mtandao wa Tweeter kwamba alihojiwa na Sekretarieti ya chama chake kutokana na tuhuma za rushwa zinazowagusa badhi ya wabunge.
Katika maelezo yake, Zitto alisema aliiambia sekretarieti ya chama hicho kwamba Chadema kifanye uchunguzi ili kubaini ukweli wa suala hilo na kwamba yuko tayari kuwajibika ikiwa itathibitika kwamba alihusika kula rushwa.
“Kwa saa tatu nimejieleza mbele ya sekretariati ya chama kuhusu tuhuma za rushwa dhidi yangu. Niliomba kutaka kutoa maelezo kwa Katibu Mkuu, nimekiomba chama kufanya uchunguzi na ikibainika hatua zichukuliwe,” inasomeka sehemu ya taarifa hiyo kwenye Tweeter.
Lissu ataja wengine
Kwa upande wake, Mnadhimu Mkuu wa kambi hiyo, Tundu Lissu aliwataja wabunge wa CCM ambao wanatuhumiwa kuwa ni Nasir Abdallah (Korogwe Mjini), Mariam Kisangi (Viti Maalumu), Vicky Kamata (Viti Maalumu) na Charles Mwijage (Muleba Kaskazini) ambao hata hivyo, wote wamekanusha madai hayo.
Wabunge wengine watatu tumeshindwa kuwataja kwa kuwa hawakupatikana kuzungumzia tuhuma dhidi yao.
Katika orodha hiyo wamo wawili wa Viti Maalumu na mmoja wa jimbo na Lissu alidai kwamba wamekuwa wakishiriki vikao vya Kamati ya Nishati na Madini huku wakijua kuwa wana maslahi binafsi na wengine kutumia fursa hiyo kujinufaisha.
“Kwa takriban juma moja sasa kumekuwa na mjadala mzito wa ufisadi hapa bungeni, sasa Kambi Rasmi ya Upinzani imejitathmini na kuona kwamba wabunge wake hasa walioko kwenye Kamati ya Nishati na Madini iliyovunjwa, John Mnyika, David Silinde na Mwanamrisho Abama hawahusiki,” alisema Lissu na kuendelea:
“Ila uchunguzi wetu umefanikiwa kupata majina ya wabunge wanaohusika moja kwa moja na mgongano wa kimaslahi ambao tunaona tuwataje kwa maslahi ya umma.”
Lissu alikwenda mbali zaidi na kutaja tuhuma zinazowahusu wabunge hao akisema wawili ambao gazeti hili halikuwaja, wamejihusisha kufanya biashara na Shirika la Umeme Tanzania (Tanesco) hivyo wana mgongano wa kimaslahi.
Alisema Mwijage ana mgongano wa kimaslahi katika mchakato mzima wa kuipa zabuni ya kusambaza mafuta kampuni ya Puma Energy kwa kuwa yeye ni mtalaamu mwelekezi wa kampuni hiyo inayomilikiwa na Serikali kwa asilimia 50.
“Nasir Abdalah na Mariam Kisangi; Hawa wanamiliki vituo vya mafuta. Sasa kwa namna yeyote ile kuwa wajumbe wa Kamati ya Nishati na Madini hawawezi kutenda haki katika mchakato wowote unaohusu suala la mafuta,” alisema na kuendelea;
"....(jina limehifadhiwa) hana mgongano wa moja kwa moja wa maslahi, lakini kwa kadri tunavyofahamu, yeye ndiye aliyekuwa akiyafanyia kampeni ya kupata zabuni makampuni ya mafuta ya Oryx na Camel na ....(jina limehifadhiwa), suala lake ni complicated kidogo. Maslahi aliyonayo katika suala hilo ni kuwa ana uhusiano wa Kimapenzi na kigogo mmoja katika Wizara ya Nishati na Madini.”
“Hawa ndiyo wajumbe wa Kamati ya Nishati na Madini ambao sisi Kambi ya Upinzani tunawafahamu kuwa ndiyo waliojihusisha na mgongano wa kimaslahi. Tumewaangalia wabunge wetu wote watatu hawamo ila kama kuna mtu ana taarifa zinazowahusu, aseme na tutazifanyia kazi.”
Lissu alisema kitendo cha wabunge kujihusisha na mgongano wa kimaslahi na taasisi za umma ni kinyume na Sheria ya Maadili ya Viongozi wa Umma ya mwaka 1995 na ni kinyume na maadili ya kibunge.
Katika hatua nyingine Lissu amemshauri Spika wa Bunge Anne Makinda kuzivunja pia kamati za Bunge za Serikali za Mitaa (LAAC) na Kamati ya Mashirika ya Umma (POAC) akisema nazo zina madudu mengi.
“Hili lisiishie tu kwa kuvunja Kamati ya Nishati na Madini, tunataka pia kamati za POAC na LAAC zivunjwe, uchunguzi ufanyike na wahusika waitwe kujitetea na hatimaye wenye hatia watajwe hadharani bungeni na majina yao yachapishwe kwenye magazeti ili haki itendeke,” alisema.
Alipoulizwa Chadema imefanya nini dhidi ya Mbunge wake, Zitto Kabwe kutajwa katika orodha hiyo, alijibu: “Nikiri kwamba sisi taarifa tunazo ila hatujamwita kumwuliza. Naomba ieleweke kwamba kama chama au Kambi Rasmi ya Upinzani hatuna maslahi na mbunge yeyote anayeonekana kujihusisha na masuala hayo.”
“Katika hili tunaomba uchunguzi ufanyike na matokeo yake yatangazwe ili tupate msingi wa tuhuma hizo na ninaahidi kwamba tutazifanyia kazi ipasavyo.”
Majibu ya tuhuma
Alipotakiwa kuzungumzia tuhuma hizo, Kisangi alikiri kumiliki kituo cha mafuta lakini akasema sheria haimzuii mtu kama mambo yake anayafanya kwa uwazi.
“Nimekuja bungeni nikitokea kwenye ualimu, nilikuwa nafundisha Shule ya Msingi ya Mianzini na biashara hii ni ya familia. Inaendeshwa kwa uwazi na mwanangu wa kwanza ndiye anayeisimamia. Kutokana na uwazi katika shughuli zangu, mwaka jana Tume ya Maadili ya Viongozi wa Umma ilinipongeza. Mimi ni msafi na siko huko wanakofikiri wao (Chadema).”
Kwa upande wake, Mwijage alikanusha kuwa mtaalamu mwelekezi wa Kampuni ya Puma, badala yake akasema ni mtaalamu wa petroli anayefanya kazi ya kuishauri Serikali kuhusu mambo mbalimbali yanayohusu nishati hiyo.
"Siyo kweli, hawa wanadandia hoja. Mimi ni mtaalamu wa petroli ambaye mchango wangu kimsingi una faida kubwa bungeni na hata kwa jamii kwa ujumla. Sijafanya maamuzi yeyote ya kulihujumu taifa hili na hata kwenye Bajeti ya Wizara ya Nishati na Madini pekee, nilitoa mchango wa kurasa 10 kuhusu masuala hayo ya petroli,” alisema
Aliishauri kambi hiyo ya upinzani kuvuta subira, akieleza kuwa jambo lililoko bungeni linahusu ufisadi na uhujumu uchumi hivyo kauli zinazotolewa bila utafiti zinaweza kuvuruga mchakato mzima uliokwishaanzwa na Kamati ya Maadili ya Bunge.
Awali, Abdallah alipoulizwa kuhusu tuhuma za kumiliki vituo vya mafuta hivyo kuwa na maslahi binafsi, alicheka na kuahidi kwamba angepiga simu baadaye, lakini hakufanya hivyo na alipopigiwa baadaye alikata simu. Hata hivyo, alizungumza na waandishi wa habari na kukanusha kumiliki vituo vya mafuta.
Kamata kwa upande wake alisema: “Kuna kamati maalumu imepewa kazi ya kuchunguza mambo hayo, hivyo yote yanayoulizwa yatakuwa wazi na ukweli utajulikana tu. Nina maslahi au sina ukweli mtaujua, haraka ya nini?.
Mjadala Bungeni
Mjadala huo wa wabunge kuhusishwa na mgongano wa kimaslahi ulianza kulipuka bungeni jana asubuhi baada ya wabunge watatu; Joshua Nassari (Arumeru Mashariki), Salum Barwany (Lindi Mjini) na Mbunge wa Nkasi Kaskazni, Ali Kessy kutaka wabunge wanaotuhumiwa kwa ufisadi watajwe bungeni ili kuisafisha taasisi hiyo ya kutunga sheria.
"Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika juma lililopita Mheshimwa (Vita) Kawawa alitoa hoja kutaka suala la ufisadi lishughulikiwe kwa kuvunjwa Kamati ya Madini na Spika akaridhia na kulipeleka suala hilo kwenye Kamati ya Maadili. Kwa nini Kamati nyingine zilizohusishwa na ufisadi huo nazo zisivunjwe?” alihoji Nassari na kuendelea:
“Kuna Kamati ya Hesabu za Serikali za Mitaa (LAAC) inayoongozwa na Mheshimiwa Mrema na Kamati ya Mashirika ya Umma (POAC) inayoongozwa na Zitto. Kuna tabia ya wabunge kuzikimbia kamati zisizokuwa na mikataba kama Kamati ya Huduma za Jamii na wanazikimbilia kamati zenye mikataba.”
Barwany alitaka Bunge litajiwe majina ya wabunge waliotuhumiwa kwenye kashfa hiyo mpaka wakapelekwa kwenye Kamati ya Maadili, akieleza kuwa hili litasaidia kulisafisha... “Tumeambiwa Kamati ya Maadili inajadili suala hilo, lakini hatujatajiwa ni wabunge gani waliopelekwa huko, tunaomba mtutajie ili Bunge lijisafishe.”
“Mimi naungana na wazo la Barwany na Nassari. Majina yatajwe wabunge tunadhalilishwa na wananchi huko mitaani. tuwataje hadharani,’ alisema Kessy.
Akitoa mwongozo wa hoja hiyo, Ndugai aliiagiza Kamati ya Uongozi ya Bunge kutoka kwenye ukumbi wa Bunge ili wakajadili suala hilo na baadaye apelekewe taarifa.
“Naamini wenyeviti wote wa kamati mmo humu ndani, naomba sasa hivi mwende kwenye Ukumbi wa Spika mkajadili suala hilo halafu nipate majibu sasa hivi,” alisema.
Baadaye jioni, Ndugai alisema kuwa Spika hawezi kuwataja kwa majina wabunge ambao wanajihusisha na rushwa kwa kuwa hawajui.
Alisema Kamati ya Uongozi iliyokutana jana mchana ilikubaliana kuwa ufanyike uchunguzi wa kina kwa ajili ya kuwabaini wale wanaoshukiwa na kwamba ikibainika Bunge litawaanika hadharani.
“Kamati imerejea kumbukumbu za hansard ya Jumamosi kuwa ufanyike uchunguzi wa kina juu ya jambo hilo na wabunge mtaitwa kwa ajili ya kutoa ushirikiano, ikumbukwe kuwa mbunge akiitwa siyo kwamba ndiyo amekuwa mtuhumiwa, bali pale itakapothibitika majina yatawekwa hadharani,’’ alisema Ndugai.
Naibu Spika alitahadharisha kuwa ndani ya Kamati hiyo utafanyika uchunguzi wa kutosha kubaini kama kuna mjumbe mwenye maslahi kwa wale wahusika basi ataondolewa ili kutoa nafasi kwa kamati kufanya kazi yake ipasavyo.
Aliwatahadharisha wabunge kuwa Kamati hiyo haitaingilia utaratibu wa vyombo vya dola ambao wamekuwa wakiufanya ikiwemo wa Takukuru wa kuwahoji baadhi ya wabunge.

LISU ASIMAMA KIZIMBANI MASAA 3;30 NA KUPANGUA HOJA ZA CCM
Lissu apangua hoja za CCM kwa masaa 3 na nusu (3:30) : kauli ya mwisho anayosema ni kuwa katika tuhuma zote zilizoletwa mahakamani, hakuna ushahidi hata mmoja wa mawakala wa CCM, au wapiga kura wa CCM waliolalamika kuwa kulikuwa na vitendo vya uvunjaji wa sheria.
Hakuna hata wakala mmoja wa CCM aliyejaza fomu namba 14 ya kutoridhika na upigaji kura. Sheria za uchaguzi zinasema wakala ajaze fomu kuonyesha kuwa ameridhika au hajaridhika na kulalamikia tuhuma iliyoletwa mahakamani.
Jambo la pili Hakuna wakala hata moja aliyejaza fomu namba 16 ambaye hakuridhika na zoezi la kuhesabu kura na kutangaza matokeo
Tatu: Hakuna ushahidi wowote wa nyaraka, kuonyesha kuwa CCM au mgombea wao wa Ubunge, au diwani, au wakala wao aliyelalamika kwenye kamati ya maadili ya uchaguzi ya Jimbo la Singida mashariki, au kwa jambo lolote lile.
Na hakuna ushahidi wowote uliotolewa wa malalamiko yeyote. Ushahidi uliotolewa wa Bw. Robert Kimanda, anadai kuwa aliwahi kusema kuwa alijaza. Lakini shahidi aliyefuata alisema kuwa baada yakugundua kuwa CCM wameshinda katika kituo alichosimamia, aliichana fomu hiyo. Kuna malalamiko mengi lakini mengi yanatokana na umbumbumbu wa kutojua sheria za uchaguzi.
Kutokuwepo kwa malalamiko kunaonyesha kuwa hakukuwepo tatizo, kesi imetengenezwa baadaye na watu walioshindwa kwenye uchaguzi. Mheshimiwa jaji, Mashahidi walipingana, wengine walisema walioleta mashataka ni waongo.
Kama mashahidi wa upande wa walalamikaji wanaitana waongo mheshimiwa jaji, kuna nini chakuongeza? Shahidi namba 16, alisema waleta maombi ni waongo.

MAIGE AKANA KUNUNUA NYUMBA $ 700,000/=....ASEMA AMENUNUA $ 400,000/=.
Siku chache baada ya taarifa za uchunguzi kwamba kuna mawaziri wawili ambao wamenunua nyumba mbili zenye thamani ya Sh1.8 bilioni, mmoja wa mawaziri hao, Ezekiel Maige wa Maliasili na Utalii ameibuka na kukiri.Maige alikiambia chanzo hiki jana kuwa nyumba yake hiyo iliyoko Mbezi Beach, Dar es Salaam, ameinunua kwa Dola za Marekani 410,000 (takriban Sh656 milioni) ambazo anadai kuwa ni mkopo kutoka Benki ya CRDB.
Hata hivyo, wakati Waziri Maige akieleza kuwa nyumba hiyo ina thamani hiyo, Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Bunge ya Ardhi, Maliasili na Mazingira, James Lembeli amedai kuwa taarifa alizonazo ni kwamba ilinunuliwa kwa fedha taslimu Dola 700,000 za Marekani (takriban Sh1.1 bilioni).
Awali, habari zilizolifikia gazeti hili zilieleza kuwa Waziri Maige alinunua nyumba hiyo kutoka kwa Kampuni ya Savana Real Estate.
Mmoja wa madalali wanaouza nyumba za kampuni hiyo aliyejitambulisha kwa jina moja la Athuman (Ustadhi) alilithibitishia gazeti hili kwamba Waziri Maige amenunua nyumba moja kati ya nne zilizoko sokoni.
Hata hivyo, dalali huyo hakutaka kueleza alinunua nyumba hiyo lini na kwa gharama gani baada ya kueleza kuwa yeye si msemaji wa kampuni hiyo.
“Nyumba zipo nne na mbili zimeshauzwa. Maige kanunua nyumba moja. Nyumba nyingine mbili bado hazijauzwa na kwa sasa tunamalizia kuziwekea milango na bustani,” alisema Athuman.
Akizungumza na gazeti hili jana, Waziri Maige alisema hakununua nyumba hiyo kwa Dola 700,000 kama inavyodaiwa, bali alinunua kwa Dola za Marekani 410,000.
Mbali ya kukiri, alifafanua jinsi alivyoinunua na kuonyesha nyaraka mbalimbali huku akieleza kuwa sehemu ya fedha alizonunulia, zilikuwa za mkopo kutoka Benki ya CRDB.
