Mambo mengi yametokea ambayo sikuwaza kama yangetokea, nimefanya vitu ambavyo niliwahi kuapa sitokuja kufanya kamwe that's why I will never judge anyone for their choices or their mistakes. Life has no manual. We are all doing the best we can and learning a lot along the way!

Huku Katibu Mkuu CHADEMA kaitisha Press akiwa Kinondoni anasema Wabunge IPU wakaione CHADEMA
Huku Mjumbe wa Kamati kuu ya Chama anakutana na Wabunge mbalimbali wa IPU Arusha
Mambo yanachanganya sana haya 😂
Great to meet @godbless_lema, @ChademaTZ2 former MP for Arusha, in the margins of @IPUparliament 153rd Assembly.
These parliamentary summits are a fantastic opportunity to hear perspectives from across the political spectrum and exchange views on representative democracy.

Had a productive meeting with President @SuluhuSamia. Thanked her for championing maternal and child health in #Tanzania and across Africa. @WHO will continue to support this lifesaving effort.
We also discussed the impacts of the climate crisis and El Nino on health, as well as the importance to finalise the WHO Pandemic Agreement annex on Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing.

Tanzania is a place to visit.
That is the message coming through as IPU delegates experience Arusha and Ngorongoro beyond the conference halls, they are discovering the landscapes, wildlife, hospitality and warmth of Tanzania.
They came for parliamentary diplomacy. They leave with an experience to remember.
Tanzania is not just a place to meet. It is a place to experience.

Every October, The Cybersecurity Awareness Month shows incredible progress in prioritizing digital safety
The problem? Most people still find online safety confusing, frustrating, or flat-out boring
With modern threats evolving rapidly, we have to change our approach:-
Ditch the jargon: Explain things in universal, simple language.
Make it entertaining: Use trivia, storytelling, and interactive challenges.
Focus on micro-habits: Promote quick, simple daily actions that protect data without adding stress.
When security training is engaging, people don't just memorize rules—they actually apply them.
Let's make safety a habit, not a chore.

My first field mission as DC Arumeru was with the @IPUparliament delegation of MPs from 16 countries. We visited Kiyunga Dispensary and the Oloigeruno Youth Irrigation Project in Arusha DC, showcasing the community impact and value of development assistance.
I thanked and also encouraged our partners @UnitedNationsTZ, @WHO_Tanzania, @UNICEFTanzania, @WFP_Tanzania, @MastercardFdn and #TAHA to scale up these efforts across Arusha DC and extend them to Meru DC.

Mr Ndejembi is a proper Anglo-phile
Studied in UK from A-Levels to Masters
Studied a private school in primary
Follows the Premier League deeply
He understands the British culture properly
Nyerere was right when he said “Kiingereza ndio Kiswahili cha dunia”
As clear as day.

Huku @ChademaTZ2 wanatumia WANAHARAKATI kama Janjaweed au Interahmwe wao to wage an insurgency against the state using terror tactics ku maintain kitu inaitwa plausible deniability.
Labda niwaambie hivi na naomba @RKishaija uwe shahidi apa, hii sio demokrasia wazee. Mpaka ushavukwa kutoka siasa kwenda kwenye ugaidi kwahiyo hili jambo itabidi liwe managed kama jambo la KIBITI.
Huu upuuzi wa VITA MSETO / HYBRID WARFARE unafanyika Sahel states na hata kwa ndugu zetu DRC via M23.
We are not special or immune from destabilization so muhimu kuweke DEFENSIVE MEASURES na ndugu zangu, kwenye hili naomba tusilaumu vyombo vyetu.

The conference room is only one part of the #IPU153Tanzania experience.
Today, delegates are seeing Ngorongoro up close its landscapes, wildlife, people and extraordinary natural beauty.
Tanzania is not only hosting the world.
We are welcoming the world to experience Tanzania.

Umeandika vema sana CDE NMN. And this is precisely why Africa needs governments that understand that AI is not simply a technology issue but a question of economic sovereignty, national competitiveness and development kama ambavyo TZ tume i pin katika our vision 2050!
Kuna some data ukiziona na how our gvts move unaona kabisa tulishajiandaa na haya mambo. Data za uwekezaji wetu kwenye Energy for example ambayo ni key actor katika AI/data centers tayari tupo ahead ya Nchi yoyote ya EAC.
Taarifa ya TCRA ya 2025 December inaonesha kwamba, tulikua na mkongo wa taifa wa urefu wa 15,167 km mretu kuliko taifa lolote in this continent ambao specifically unatoa 2,000 Gbps capacity, connecting all regional headquarters, 122 of 139 districts za Tanzania pampja na Nchi 7 zilizotuzunguka. We are more than ready!
Tanzania as tunaongea sasa ina submarine cables kadhaa, six IXPs and na data centres kwa data za hadi March 2026.
Kuna hoja moja muhimu sana umesema hapa “share” katika meza ya maamuzi ya dunia ya AI/Dat Science na how kama Africa/Tanzania tumejipanga na im quite sure si kwa kujifananisha au kujiringanisha BUT Tanzania is set among the top nations ambao wamejiandaa to capture hili eneo.
Hapa sijagusia Samia Extended Scholarship ambayo inapeleka watoto so far 200+ katika World’s Top 100 Universities kusomea AI/Data Science! Hapo sijagusia kwamba as we speak PM Dkt. Mwigulu Nchemba yuko Ulaya sasa katika negotiations za ujenzi wa Africa’s largest data centres hapa Tanzania!
AI and THE GLOBAL SOUTH
The discussions between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping on Artificial Intelligence send an important message: nations may compete in technology, but they should not compete in destroying our shared future.
The United States and China will continue to compete over chips, computing power, data, AI models and technological influence. But as we learned from the nuclear era, great-power competition also requires rules, communication and guardrails to prevent competition from turning into catastrophe.
But from the Global South, we must ask a different question:
If the data is ours, the users are ours, and the problems are ours, but the models, computing infrastructure and platforms are owned elsewhere, how much of the AI economy will actually belong to us?
This is where Africa must change its mindset.
The first digital revolution largely made us consumers of technologies created elsewhere. The AI revolution must make us creators.
We do not need to choose between Washington and Beijing. We need to work with both while building our own capabilities.
The United States and China may lead the AI race, but they should not be the only ones writing the rules of that race.
Because AI safety is not only about preventing machines from becoming dangerous. It is also about ensuring that technology does not create a world divided between nations that own intelligence and nations that rent intelligence.
Africa therefore does not want to be merely a market for AI.
We want a seat at the table.
We want to build.
We want to own.
We want to innovate.
And we want a voice in shaping the future of AI.
Because in the age of AI, true sovereignty will not be measured only by our flags, borders or natural resources, it will also be measured by our ability to own, build and shape the technologies that define our future.

The road to Benjamin Mkapa Stadium is closed due to upgrades ahead of AFCON 2027. Access is strictly limited to private vehicles heading to Uhuru Stadium (the annex).
Tanzania is a good nation when it comes to mind games and crafty work for their teams in CAF games. This is the bus they accorded our U23 team, and the road to training.
There are reports that some of their senior team players are included in tomorrow’s game.
Whoever is leading that Kenyan delegation to Tz must be on top of his game. The documentation shouldn’t be counter-checked, na ikiwa poa don’t even visit your changing rooms tomorrow. Mtaingia grao kama mmechoka wote.

Leo Mama Kanisa anaadhimisha Sikukuu ya Bikira Maria wa Rozari Takatifu.Bikira Maria ni Mtakatifu kuliko watakatifu wote. Bikira Maria ni kimbilio la waamini katika ulinzi na tunza yake ya kimama.
Anatufundisha na kutusindikiza waamini katika utakatifu wa maisha; anatulinda bila kutuhukumu; anatufariji, kutuombea na kututakatifuza kwa uwepo wake mwanana, changamoto na mwaliko kwetu waamini kumkimbilia katika sala, lakini zaidi kwa njia ya tafakari ya Rozari Takatifu.🙏

"Yesu alipokuwa mahali fulani akiomba, alipokwisha, mmoja katika wanafunzi wake alimwambia, Bwana, tufundishe sisi kusali, kama vile Yohane alivyowafundisha wanafunzi wake. Akawaambia, Msalipo, semeni: Baba, Jina lako litakaswe, Ufalme wako uje, Utupe siku kwa siku riziki yetu. Utusamehe dhambi zetu, kwa kuwa sisi nasi tunamsamehe kila tumwiaye. Na usitutie majaribuni."(Lk. 11:1 – 4)

For the context;
1. Data za kibiashara kati ya Tanzania na Netherlands zinaonesha tuna export vitu valued around USD 140 M + kwenda Netherlands katika maeneo ya bidhaa za kilimo, uvuvi na ufugaji.
2. Wao wana import vitu vingi sana kwetu katika maeneo ya machine, chemicali za mbolea etc ambavyo vingi viko centred around agro sector na ni moja ya Nchi ambayo tuna trade balance isiyopishana sana among EU Member countries!
Nadhani sasa kama Nchi tunaanza ku move kimkakati on who we associate with, who we enter into bilateral relations kama hawa Netherlands! A very bold and strategic move kuelekea 2050!
I held productive discussions with H.E. Sjoerd Sjoerdsma, Minister of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, on deepening trade, investment and development cooperation between our two countries and peoples. The Hague.
