ZEC yaanzisha zoezi maalum kutambua waliokuwa hawajaandikishwa

Salim Said
TUME ya Uchaguzi Zanzibar (Zec) imeanzisha kazi maalum ya kuorodhesha na kutambua idadi kamili ya wazanzibari waliokosa kujiandikisha katika Daftari la Kudumu la Wapigakura kwa sababu ya Kitambulisho cha Mzanzibari Mkazi (Zan ID) ili kuangalia namna ya kutatua tatizo hilo.

Kazi hiyo inafanyika kwa siku sita tu katika mikoa na wilaya zote za Unguja na Pemba kabla ya kuanza kwa awamu ya pili nay a mwisho ya uboreshaji wa daftari hilo, inayotarajiwa kuanza Machi 1 mwaka huu.

Akizungumza na Mwananchi jana, Mkurugenzi wa Zec Salim Kassim alisema kazi hiyo imeanza tangu Febuari 22 mwaka huu na itakamilika Febuari 28.

“Tumeamua kufanya hivi kwa sababu kumekua na malalamiko mengi kutoka kwa vyama vya siasa kwamba watu wao wengi hawajaandikishwa, tukiwauliza wangapi wanasema wengi lakini hawana idadi kamili,” alisema Kassim na kuongeza:

“Kwa hiyo kazi hii ya siku sita itatupatia orodha ya idadi kamili ya watu waliokuwa hawajaandikishwa, ili tuone kwamba ni kwa namna gani wanaweza kupata haki yao kama wana sifa, kwa sababu hawa ni wapigakura wetu.”

Alisema baada ya kukamilika kwa kazi hiyo hapo Febuari 28 hatua ya kwanza watakayochukua ni kutangaza idadi kamili ya watu hao, na baadae hatua nyengine zitafuata za kiutendaji.

Kwa upande wake Mkurugenzi wa Habari na Mahusiano na Umma wa CUF Salim Bimani aliwataka wananchi wote wa Zanzibar, ambao mwaka 2005 walipiga kura katika uchaguzi mkuu na wanazo shahada zao za kupigia kura, lakini hawana Zan ID, wafike kwenye vituo vya Tume ZEC kwa wingi.

Alivitaja vituo kuwa kwa Unguja ni pamoja na Kariakoo wilaya ya Mjini, Kwerekwe ‘A’ wilaya ya Magharibi, Koani Banda la Karafuu wilaya ya Kati, Ofisi ya Wilaya Dembra wilaya ya Kusini, Gamba Banda la Karafuu wilaya ya Kaskazini ‘A’ na Mahonda Banda la Karafuu wilaya ya Kaskazini ‘B.

Kwa upande wa Kanda ya Pemba aliwataka wafike Skuli ya Micheweni wilaya ya Micheweni, Kilimo Weni wilaya ya Wete, Mtambile Banda la Karafuu wilaya ya Mkoani na kwa wilaya ya Chake Chake Wafike Skuli ya Michakaini.

Bimani aliwahimiza wananchi wote wenye sifa hizo wajitokeze kwa wingi kwenye vituo hivyo, wakizingatia kwamba kuandikishwa ndiko kutakowawezesha kupiga kura na hivyo kuwa na nguvu ya kufanya mabadiliko katika nchi yao.

“Baada ya kutambuliwa wote waliokuwa hawajaandikishwa Zec itabidi isimami kazi ya kupata Zan ID ili na wao waandikishwe katika daftari na waweze kutumia haki yao ya msingi ya kupigakura ya maoni na katika uchaguzi mkuu Oktoba mwaka huu,” alisema Bimani.

HUKU NI KUDHALILISHANA WANADAMU

Mfano wa kivuli cha mtu katika skana zilizowekwa katika viwanja mbalimbali vya ndege katika nchi za Ulaya na Marekani ikiwa ni katika juhudi za nchi hizo kupambana na majaribio ya Ugaidi. Skana hizo zimepingwa na wasomi wa kiislaam kwa kuwa zinawadhalilisha na ni kinyume na haki za binaadamu.

Marekani Muslim Scholars Against Body Scanners
Saying that body scanners violate Islamic law, Muslim-American groups are supporting a "fatwa” a religious ruling that forbids Muslims from going through the scanners at airports.
The Fiqh Council of North America a body of Islamic scholars issued a fatwa this week that says going through the airport scanners would violate Islamic rules on modesty.

"It is a violation of clear Islamic teachings that men or women be seen naked by other men and women," reads the fatwa issued Tuesday. "Islam highly emphasizes haya (modesty) and considers it part of faith. The Qur'an has commanded the believers, both men and women, to cover their private parts."

The decision could complicate efforts to intensify screening of potential terrorists who are Muslim. After the Christmas Day bombing attempt in Detroit by a Muslim suspect from Nigeria, some have called for the use of body scanners at airports to find explosives and other dangerous materials carried by terrorists. Some airports are now in the process of buying and using the body scanners, which show in graphic detail the outlines of a person's body.

In the U.S., there are now forty scanners in nineteen airports and could be as many as 450 by the end of the year.

But certain Muslim groups say the scanners go against their religion. One option offered to passengers who don't want to use the scanners would be a pat down by a security guard. All passengers, regardless of faith, may opt for the optional same sex pat down. The Muslim groups are urging members to undergo those instead.

The American policy is far more lenient than the one instituted by airports in Britain, where travelers who refuse to pass through the scanners can be barred from boarding. The Council on American-Islamic Relations says it endorses the fatwa.

"We support the Fiqh Council's statement on full-body scanners and believe that the religious and privacy rights of passengers can be respected while maintaining safety and security," said Nihad Awad, national executive director of CAIR.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) argues that it is committed to keeping passengers safe and insisted the scanners do not represent an invasion of privacy.

"The TSA's mission is to keep the travelling public safe. Advanced imaging technologies are an important tool in a multi- layered security system to detect evolving threats such as improvised explosive devices," said a spokesman.

"Use of these technologies includes strong protections in place to safeguard passenger privacy. Screening images are automatically deleted, and the officer viewing the image will never see the passenger."

The TSA stressed that the body scanners are "optional to all passengers". Those who turn them down in the US "will receive equivalent screening that may include a physical pat-down, hand-wanding, and other technologies."

"Physical pat-downs are performed by Transportation Security Officers of the same sex as the passenger in a private screening area, if the passenger requests."

"Body scanners do not produce photos", the agency added. Rather, the images "look like chalk outlines".
