SHERIA ZETU NA WALEMAVU

2 comments


THE SUMATRA (TECHNICAL SAFETY AND QUALITY OF SERVICE STANDARD) (PASSENGER VEHICLES) RULES , 2008.

(Safety requirements)
5 – (1) Subject to rule 4, every owner of passenger vehicle who apply to provide passenger services shall ensure that:-
(h) The vehicle is fitted with facilities to assist passengers with disabilities.


SHERIA YA SUMATRA KUHUSU KANUNI NA TARATIBU ZA VYOMBO  KUBEBEA ABIRIA, 2008
(Maelekezo ya kiusalama)
5 – (1) Kwa mujibu wa kanuni ya 4, kila mmiliki wa chombo cha abiria atakayeomba kutoa huduma ya kubeba abiria, atatakiwa kuzingatia yafuatayo:-
(h) Chombo kimewekewa nyezo/ vifaa vya kuwasaidia watu wenye ulemavu mbalimbali.

Swali la kujiuliza ni je sheria hii inazingatiwa ipasavyo?
Chukua taswira ya mabasi yetu ya abiria, kuanzia yale yaendayo mikoani mpaka daladala zetu!
Watanzania tunashindwa wapi katika hili? Nikweli tunahitaji wawekezaji au wafadhili katika hili?
Tafakari kwa kina, tumia busara katika kuchukua hatua! Tanzania ni yetu sote, na kila mtu atimize wajibu wake kwa nafasi yake.
Sheria hii inapatikana katika Wavuti ufatao:

Mohamed Kaboba, 37 years, married with one child, artist, albino


I am the third child born with albinism in my family of ten children and this led to my family being supportive. I was not stigmatized withing my family, although in the community during my childhood people were calling me names. 

I started my primary education in Dar es salaam, but later after my father’s retirement I was forced to move to the village with him where life was very challenging. Despite my condition of being disabled I was assigned all the activities, like going to the farm, fetching water, collecting fire wood, etc. This exposed me to the sun, which is harmful to my health, so I decided to run away and go live with my sister in Dar.

My brother in-law employed me in his second hand clothes business and in the evening I was engaging myself in artistic work, including drama and singing. With this I managed to run my life smoothly. Unfortunately my brother in-law passed away before I was fully independent,  therefore my life became difficult in his absence.

My life dream is to become a famous singer; though not yet fulfilled but I am still struggling. I am currently trying to join singing classes in one college in Bagamoyo and I have approached TBC (Tanzania Broadcasting Cooperation) for support in making my dreams a reality.

Despite being a disabled person I find life very interesting, though there are some opportunities that I sometime miss due to my low vision since I cannot read some of the documents.

Before the training by ICD (on human rights for PWDs) I knew no laws and rights or people with disabilities but I am aware of the many human rights and several laws like the constitution of Tanzania, Tanzania Act on PWDs, and the Convention on the Rights of PWDs.

I call upon the community that it should regard PWDs just like other people, they can do all things that others can do, they should give them support to overcome the challenges they encounter.
