Mahakama Kuu jijini Dar es Salaam imewaamuru maafisa wa polisi kutomkamata Mwenyekiti wa Taifa wa Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema) nchini Tanzania, Freeman Mbowe, hadi Ijumaa.
Mbowe
Polisi wamezuiwa kumkamata Mbowe hadi Ijumaa
Bw Mbowe alikuwa amefika katika mahakama hiyo kufuatilia mwenendo wa kesi ya kikatiba aliyoifungua dhidi ya Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Dar es Salaam, Paul Makonda, Kamanda wa Polisi Kanda Maalum ya Dar es Salaam, Kamishna Simon Sirro na Mkuu wa Upelelezi wa Kanda Maalum ya Dar es Salaam, Camilius Wambura.

Katika kesi hiyo, mbali na mambo mengine, Mbowe anapinga amri ya Makonda ya kutaka akamatwe na pia kile alichokiita kudhalilisha watu wakati mkuu huyo wa mkoa alipotaja majina ya watu wanaodaiwa kuhusika katika ulanguzi na matumizi ya dawa za kulevya.
Kesi hiyo iliahirishwa mpaka saa saba mchana ambapo walipoingia mahakamani kwa mara nyingine, Mahakama Kuu Kanda ya Dar es Salaam iliamuru Jeshi la Polisi kumkamata Freeman Mbowe hadi Februari 23 maombi yake yatakaposikilizwa.
Mahakama imeambia jeshi la polisi kwamba linaweza kumuita Freeman Mbowe kwa mahojiano kama litaona umuhimu wa kufanya hivyo, lakini hawaruhusiwi kumkamata.
Wakati huo huo, Mwenyekiti wa Chama cha Wananchi (CUF) anayepingwa na baadhi ya wanachama wa chama hicho, amefika mahakamani kusikiliza mwenendo wa mgogoro baina yake na Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad ambapo baada ya kumalizika kwa kipindi cha mahakama, alipata fursa ya kuzungumza na waandishi wa habari.
Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari nje ya mahakama Kuu ya Tanzania, Lipumba alisema anaunga mkono suala la watuhumiwa wa dawa za kulevya, kukamatwa na kuongeza kuwa serikali inapaswa kuungwa mkono katika suala hilo.
Lakini Lipumba aliongeza kuwa, serikali isikurupuke kuwapeleka watu mahakamani bila kuwa na ushahidi wa kutosha kwani suala hilo litaigharimu fedha nyingi katika kuendesha kesi hizo.

PRESS RELEASE
DHL Express makes global online shopping easier with On Demand Delivery in Sub Saharan Africa
On Demand Delivery is currently deployed in 6 markets across SSA – South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Mauritius &Tanzania, with plans to roll out to further countries in SSA throughout 2017
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, February 21, 2017/ --
  • On Demand Delivery developed in response to significant growth in premium cross-border e-commerce volumes 
  • Flexible shipping options designed to enhance the customer experience for online shoppers
DHL Express (www.dpDHL.com), the world’s leading international express services provider, has announced the launch of On Demand Delivery for the Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) region. The new service allows shippers and receivers globally to select from a range of standardised delivery options.

On Demand Delivery is currently deployed in 6 markets across SSA – South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Mauritius &Tanzania, with plans to roll out to further countries in SSA throughout 2017.

On Demand Delivery offers shippers the choice to activate specific delivery options and have DHL Express proactively notify their customers via email or SMS about a shipment’s progress. Customers can then select the delivery option that best suits their requirements via the On Demand Delivery website. The service is specifically tailored to the demands of international e-commerce deliveries, where the majority of shipments are addressed to residential addresses and customers place considerable emphasis on flexibility and convenience.

“Globally, we have seen the share of e-commerce deliveries grow from about 10% in 2013 to more than 20% of the international volumes of DHL Express in 2016,” said Hennie Heymans, CEO of DHL Express Sub-Saharan Africa. “This has primarily been driven by the strong demand for high-value and premium goods in the global marketplace, as well as the emergence of start-up retailers who are growing beyond borders and therefore require a worldwide door-to-door delivery service. Our On Demand Delivery service was developed with the needs of our customers at the very core. E-tailers and their customers continue to evolve and we needed to ensure that our services continue to exceed customer expectations.

“On Demand Delivery isn’t just a new customer interface – it also represents an enhancement of our worldwide network, as we have tailored our last-mile operations to meet the specific demands of cross-border e-commerce deliveries. Thanks to On Demand Delivery, we can support the service offering of online shippers and improve the delivery experience for their customers, while improving our own efficiency, particularly for last-mile deliveries.”

On Demand Delivery is easy to use and benefits both shippers and receivers. The site is accessed from any smartphone, tablet or PC, and offers receivers up to six delivery options.

Shippers can incorporate their own branding into customer notifications. Receivers can schedule a delivery, arrange delivery to a nearby DHL Service Point or their own alternate address, and even request that a shipment is put on hold during a vacation. On Demand Delivery further improves first-time delivery performance, increases customer satisfaction, and makes the overall delivery process more efficient.

On Demand Delivery will be deployed to more than 100 countries across the globe in 2017, accounting for the majority of global trade and online retail activity, and is available in over 45 languages.

Shirika la kisheria lisilo la kiserikali la Legal Services Facility (LSF) wiki hii litatoa msaada wa komputa 176 zenye thamani ya shilingi million 146 kwa ajili ya vituo 160 vya wasaidizi wa kisheria vilivyoko mikoani—kama sehemu ya mkakati wake wa kuongeza ufanisi na kuboresha utoaji wa huduma za kisheria nchini.

Kwa mujibu wa taarifa iliyotumwa kwa vyombo vya habari hivi karibuni, komputa hizo zitatolewa wakati wa warsha (itakayofanyika Ijumaa hii Dar es Salaam) kwa viongozi wa mashirika yasiyo ya kiserikali yanayotoa msaada wa sheria na yanayofadhiliwa na LSF—kutekeleza miradi ya wasaidizi wa kisheria nchini.

Bw Kees Groenendijk, Meneja wa LSF, alisema komputa ni zana muhimu kwa vituo vya wasaidizi wa kisheria na wasaidizi wa kisheria wenyewe wanaotoa msaada wa kisheria nchini. Tangu kuanzishwa kwake miaka mitano iliyopita, LSF imekwishatoa ufadhili wa mabilioni ya fedha, ambazo, pamoja na mambo mengine, zimerahisisha kuanzishwa kwa vituo vya wasaidizi wa kisheria sehemu mbalimbali nchini.

Mkurugenzi wa Shirika la Legal Services Facility (LSF), Bwana. Kees Groenendijk akizungumza  leo Jijini Dar es Salaam

“Ni ukweli usiopingika kwamba wasaidizi wa kisheria wamekuwa wakifanya vizuri sana linapokuja suala la kuwasaidia wanaohitaji msaada wa kisheria hasa vijijini. Ndiyo maana tumeamua kutoa hizi zana, ambazo naamini vitaongeza ufanisi wa huduma za kisheria. Naamini zitaongeza ufanisi na utendaji wa wasaidizi wa kisheria na vituo vya wasaidizi wa kisheria,” alisema Bw Groenendijk.

Komputa zitatolewa kwa mashirika yasiyo ya kiserikali 27 yanayotoa msaada wa sheria, ambayo ndiyo yatakayotoa hizo komputa kwa vituo vya wasaidizi wa kisheria katika maeneo yao ya kazi. Mashirika yasiyo ya kiserikali yanayotoa msaada wa sheria yametoa mchango mkubwa sana katika uanzishwaji wa vituo vya wasaidizi wa kisheria kupitia ufadhili wa LSF.

Kwa mujibu wa taarifa ya LSF, warsha inayofanyika wiki hii itatoa nafasi kwa washiriki kujadili mambo mbalimbali na changamoto zake katika kutekeleza miradi inayofadhiliwa na LSF na kupata suluhisho.

Pamoja na hayo, warsha hiyo itawezesha LSF kuelezea njia mkakati yake ya 2016-2021, nini LSF inataka kupata na matokeo yake kwa mashirika yasiyo ya kisherikali yanayotoa ushauri wa kitaalam (RMOs). Masuala mengine yanahudu namna ya kutatua migongano kati ya malengo ya kitaasisi ya RMOs na malengo mkakati ya LSF na namna ya kuongeza matokeo.

Kutakuwa na majadiliano pia juu ya kuyajengea uwezo mashirika yanayofadhiliwa na LSF/yanayotoa ushauri wa kitaalam, namna ya kujenga uwezo kwa wasaidizi wa kisheria na LSF, umuhimu wa kupima kazi na matokeo yake na kuripoti kwa njia ya mtandao.

As of Friday, Burlington (formerly known as the Burlington Coat Factory) removed Ivanka Trump brand products from its website. According to Shannon Coulter, the woman behind the #GrabYourWallet movement, there had previously been 13 Ivanka Trump items for sale online — and then suddenly they were all gone.
Ivanka Trump
Ivanka Trump,the daughter of U.S. President Donald Trump and his first wife.
The brand has yet to give a reason for the sudden removal. Yahoo Style reached out to Burlington for comment.
Burlington follows other brands that have stopped stocking Ivanka Trump products, with Nordstrom being the first to pull support. Below, a comprehensive list of where retailers stand.

Nordstrom

Citing “poor sales,” Nordstrom announced it would stop selling Ivanka Trump products on Feb. 3. While the decision came on the heels of the president’s executive order to ban immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries, the company insisted that it had made a business decision. Yet behind the scenes, a company memo expressed support for immigrants and highlighted its diverse employee pool. A source close to Ivanka told Refinery29 of the decision, “They couldn’t handle the political pressure, someone new came in, and there was a change in the attitude toward the brand.”

TJ Maxx and Marshalls

The parent company of TJ Maxx and Marshalls, TJX Companies, issued an internal memo to employees telling them to toss Ivanka Trump display signs in the trash and mix her remaining merchandise in with other brands, rather than displaying her products on separate racks, according to The New York Times, who received a copy of the memo.
“Effective immediately, please remove all Ivanka Trump merchandise from features and mix into the runs [regular racks where most clothes are placed],” stated the note, which was confirmed by Doreen Thompson, a spokeswoman for the TJX Companies, according to The New York Times. “All Ivanka Trump signs should be discarded.”

HSN and Shop Style

On Tuesday, #GrabYourWallet founder Sharon Coulter confirmed to media outlet Mic that Ivanka- and Donald-branded products were completely pulled from HSN and that ShopStyle was in the process of following suit.
The two brands had been previously placed on the infamous #GrabYourWallet boycott list — an anti-Trump movement that launched in October after the president’s 2005 “Grab her by the p****” comments were publicized. The movement keeps tabs on companies that sell Trump-branded products and encourages people to boycott them, hitting their bottom lines as a political statement. Coulter predicted that by Tuesday, ShopStyle would be removed from the boycott list.

Neiman Marcus

According to fashion site Racked, the department store Neiman Marcus dropped Ivanka Trump’s jewelry line from its website, including baubles from its New Jersey store. The 21 items on sale vanished, along with any mention of Ivanka on Neiman Marcus’s list of designers. On Feb. 3, the store sent the following statement to Racked: “Based on productivity we continuously assess whether our brands are carried in stores, on our website, or both.”

Belk

During the first weekend in February, the nationwide department store scrubbed Ivanka’s name from its search engine. One exception: Ivanka’s dresses and coats are still available in one Charlotte, N.C., store, according to Racked. On Monday, Belk emailed the following statement to Racked: “We continually review our assortment and the performance of the brands we carry. And we make adjustments as part of our normal course of business operations.”

Shoes.com

The Canadian shoe retailer tweeted its decision to abandon Ivanka Trump back in November as a result of the #GrabYourWallet boycott: “We understand and your voices have been heard. We have removed the products from our website.” A spokesperson for Ivanka defended the company in a statement to Footwear News: “While Shoes.com was an inconsequential part of our business, they were not fulfilling their end of the contract and parting was inevitable.”

Jet.com

The discount shopping website is in the process of pulling Ivanka’s clothing and fragrance, according to Mic. Yet, there’s no shortage of MAGA hats and F*** Trump shirts available for purchase.
