Spika wa Bunge la Tanzania, Mussa Zungu, amesema nchi haiwezi kujengwa kwa maandamano na kwamba amani ni jambo muhimu kwa maendeleo ya nchi.

Akizungumza leo Juni 1, 2026 jijini Dodoma kuhusu umuhimu wa amani katika jamii, Msita amesema maendeleo yanapatikana katika mazingira yenye utulivu na mshikamano, akisisitiza kuwa sehemu yenye maendeleo ni sehemu inayompendeza Mungu.

Kihongosi amewataka wananchi kuendelea kulinda amani na mshikamano uliopo nchini, akisema Tanzania imeendelea kuwa mfano wa utulivu kutokana na umoja na upendo wa wananchi wake.

Kibadeni ameyasema hayo katika mahojiano maalumu, akisisitiza umuhimu wa vijana kutumia vyema nafasi wanazopewa na kushirikiana katika kulinda amani, akibainisha kuwa ustawi wa taifa lolote unategemea uwepo wa amani.

He called on Christians and the wider community to embrace forgiveness, love and peace as essential pillars for building a united and harmonious society.

Ameeleza kuwa amani ni msingi muhimu wa maendeleo ya Taifa, na kusisitiza kuwa bila amani, jitihada zote za maendeleo haziwezi kufikiwa.

Amani ni zawadi kutoka kwa Mungu na ndiyo msingi wa maendeleo ya taifa. "Mungu ameturuzuku amani, ni kipaji na kipawa. Tuna kila sababu ya kuitunza na kuilinda, kwani bila amani hakuna maendeleo, wananchi hawatakuwa salama, na tutakimbia nchi yetu wenyewe," amesisitiza.

Amesisitiza kuwa Tanzania ni kivutio cha wivu kwa watu wa mataifa mengine, kutokana na amani na utulivu iliyonayo.

Kuhani Baraka pia amewakumbusha waumini na wananchi wote kudumisha amani wakati wa uchaguzi, akisema amani ni nguzo ya maendeleo na msingi wa haki.

Alisema unaweza kudai vitu vyote kama vile barabara za lami, maji, hospital, katiba mpya, mishara mikubwa lakini kukiwa hakuna amani huwezi kuvitumia vitu vyote hivyo kwa kuwa watu watasambatika huko na kule kwa machafuko ya vita.

In April 2026, Tanzanian fuel prices soared over 30 per cent in one month due to the Middle East conflict, despite government assurances of adequate reserves.

The Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) has introduced a new billing number system for the loading and offloading of fuel at storage depots, aimed at enhancing transparency, boosting government revenue collection and ensuring compliance without disrupting supply.

Nchi kama Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar na Iraq zinapoteza njia yao kuu ya kuuza mafuta.

wanunuaji wa mafuta kwa bei ra rejareja yanayopitia Bandari ya Dar es Salaam watalazimika kuongeza Sh956 katika kila lita moja ya mafuta baada ya bei kufikia Sh3,820 kutoka Sh2864. Kwa upande wa dizeli, lita moja sasa watanunua kwa Sh3,806 kutoka Sh2,858 ikiwa ni ongezeko la Sh948. Kwa upande wa mafuta ya taa, sasa yatanunuliwa kwa Sh3,684 kutoka Sh2,932 iliyokuwa ikitumika Machi mwaka huu ikiwa ni ongezeko la Sh752.

Ongezeko la bei ya mafuta halipo Tanzania pekee, bali hata katika soko la dunia ambapo bei kikomo kwa Aprili 2026, zimeongezeka kwa asilimia 69.98 kwa mafuta ya petroli, asilimia 114.46 kwa mafuta ya dizeli na asilimia 120.81 kwa mafuta ya taa.

wanunuaji wa mafuta kwa bei ra rejareja yanayopitia Bandari ya Dar es Salaam watalazimika kuongeza Sh956 katika kila lita moja ya mafuta baada ya bei kufikia Sh3,820 kutoka Sh2864.

Kwa mujibu wa Ewura, ongezeko hilo la bei za mafuta ni janga la kidunia na Tanzania kama sehemu hiyo inachukua hatua mbalimbali kuhakikisha usalama wa upatikanaji wa mafuta nchini na katika bei himilivu ili kupunguza madhara ya kiuchumi na kijamii.

Kufungwa kwa mlango huu muhimu wa bahari kunasababisha athari kubwa kimataifa, hasa kiuchumi na kiusalama: 1️⃣ Kupanda kwa bei ya mafuta duniani

Kufungwa kwake kunasababisha uhaba wa mafuta sokoni. Bei ya mafuta na gesi inapanda haraka, na kuathiri gharama za usafiri, umeme na bidhaa nyingine.

Kufungwa kunaweza kusababisha mvutano au mapambano kati ya mataifa yenye maslahi ya kiuchumi na kiusalama katika eneo hilo.

Most remarkably, just one week before his death, Bungara launched an operation to strengthen CHADEMA in the southern regions.
