MY COMING SHOW MODELS,
TANZANIA TO ALLOW DUAL CITIZENSHIP !!!
Speaking in Dar e s Salaam at an International Organisation for Migration (IOM) meeting, Mr Membe said research conducted on the proposal had established that the new law would not harm the country.
"The government is regretting locking out Tanzanians overseas during the 49 years of our Independence, while some African countries have been granting dual citizenship to their people," Mr Membe said.
Tanzanians living abroad will receive the news with jubilation, as they have for many years campaigned for the introduction of such a law to enable them to belong to both their host countries and their motherland.
Many have complained that lack of such a law disadvantages them, as it denies them opportunities they could access if they were citizens of the countries where they work.
Yesterday, Mr Membe explained that the issue had taken many years to conclude because the ministry did not wish to "rush such a sensitive issue". He added: "We decided to conduct a thorough research before introducing this law, which deals with the basic rights of a person."
The research had enabled the government to establish that dual citizenship "is not bad, as some people were trying to depict it".
The minister went on: "On the contrary, there will more benefits for the country and the individuals, if we to adopt the law to enable our fellow Tanzanians living abroad to market our country as well."
During the research, it had been found that Tanzanian experts working abroad had been contributing immensely to their host countries. Therefore, he said, the enacting of the law would enable them to also assist their motherland without any hitch.
Mr Membe said the ministry had already started to move to tap the great economic potential of the Tanzanians overseas.
After receiving the report, the ministry established a special department to deal with the affairs of those in the Diaspora.
"Everything regarding how to deal with the Tanzanians living abroad is almost ready. We need to fully utilise their skills and wealth to push forward our development agenda," he said.
The Dual Citizenship Act, the minister added, would give those abroad the right to adopt the citizenship of their host countries while maintaining their Tanzanian nationality.
Under the current law, a Tanzanian who adopts the citizenship of another country is automatically stripped of his nationality.
Minister Membe said they had directed all the country's embassies and high commissions overseas to register all Tanzanians to enable the government to have full information and data on the nationals living abroad.
Speaking to reporters at the meeting, which brought together experts from various ministries, embassies and some Tanzanian experts working in the UK, Mr Daniel Mwasandube, a quantity surveyor based in Britain, said many Tanzanians had opted to leave the country in search of better lives.
He said most of them "are very patriotic but lack of supportive laws", such the one granting dual citizenship, has blocked them from serving their country better.
"Many Tanzanians cannot land high paying jobs abroad, though they have the qualifications, simply because employers look for people who hold the passports of those countries," he said.
In preparation for the introduction of dual citizenship, the Law Reform Commission was tasked to conduct a national study and gather the public's views.
In 2006, the commission recommended amendments to the relevant laws so that Tanzanians can also enjoy dual citizenship.
According to the 'Final Report on the Introduction of Dual Citizenship in Tanzania', the commission chaired by Judge Anthony Bahati, said the issue deserved "a positive and forwarding-looking consideration".
The commissioners said it was high time Tanzania adopted dual citizenship because in a globalised world, the country could not develop without interaction with other nations.
Dual citizenship, according to the commission, was desirable as it conferred benefits both to the country and nationals desiring to hold the citizenships of other countries.
"A person with dual citizenship has greater flexibility in his choice of where to live and/or work," reads part of the report.
But the members of the commission also recommended that national identity cards be issued first before adopting the system.
Once it becomes law, Tanzanians will no longer have to renounce their citizenship, and the same will apply to foreigners wishing to take up Tanzanian citizenship, if their countries of origin allow that.

RUNWAY LOUNGE-DAR ES SALAAM
Situated on the Penthouse level, below the dome, at Shoppers Plaza, Runway Lounge bar lives up to its expectation of glits, glamour and pizzaz….as it should.
No where else in East Africa are you able to strut, drink champagne and watch the sun set and moon rise without having to leave our little haven created just for you. Finally I am able to pay homage to the greats of the past that have taught us so much here in the present.
Being an eternal fan of old Hollywood I wanted to share and pass this on to those of you not so aware of the presence they still have in our everyday lives…here lives Marylin Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Audrey Hepburn, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Sinatra to name but a few.
It’s a place where you can be comfortable to splurge on your desires with like minded people. A place where the pressure of work and monthly dead lines are forgotten because what we offer is an escape and not a normal night out. Ignite your senses with colours of deep grey, gold and white.. all fit for royalty.
Engage your palate with tastes of pleasure and sit back to enjoy the night with a range of beverages you can only imagine. Chocolate fountains, delectable bitings and service that excels sums Runway up into a few words…opulent, luxurious and funky. Our resident DJ keeps your toes tapping with soft, mellow house vibes but still allows you to have a comfortable conversation. Runway is designed to entertain your senses. No pressure – just sit back and allow the vision, the sound, the smell, the taste and the touch to inspire your next move.
The Scene: The rules will apply to everyone that wants to be a part of the Runway.

And your vision will include impressive chandeliers and many couches for lounging and jaw dropping interior design-- it's like a house party hosted by your richest, most sophisticated friend. DJs spin the latest down tempo house music and sometimes R&B, on Fridays and Saturdays for a much needed end of week celebration, while during the week features include live jazz performances from all over East Africa.
Once a month, Runway will bring you a themed party that only your wildest dreams is able to imagine…this is literally where the ignition of your senses will be entertained. Starting in February 2009 and every month there after your expectations will be met…at Runway.
In Your Glass: Cocktails. There isn't a "house" martini per se, but the bartenders do the basics well.There is an array of drinks to choose from, however, we prefer champagne and cocktails.
Need to Know: We're not kidding about the dress code. It is strict! Primary offenders that will get guys turned away: sneakers, ball caps and shorts and men should preferably wear a shirt with collar at all times. Strictly no baggy T-shirts and vests. Also, groups of men arriving together are generally frowned upon. Women have it much easier, but they should still dress to impress.
Nice to Know: We have a safe party rule. ie no bad attitudes allowed at any time. Anybody found to break this rule will immediately be excommunicated from the Runway.

MY NEW COMPANY
To all employees:
The following are the new employment regulations that take effect from the date of the circular and you are all required to abide to the rules!!
SICK DAYS
We will no longer accept a doctor's certificate as proof of sickness. If you are able to get to the doctor, you are able to come into work.
MARTENITY LEAVE
Pregnancy is banned. You must first apply to your superiors and with their approval you'll then be allowed to do pregnancy. It will only be allowed once in 10yrs and you only get 1 month maternity leave. No male shall get leave related to her wife's pregnancy, sickness or even death (he is not a midwife, a doctor nor an undertaker).
SURGERY
Operations are now banned. As long as you are an employee here, you need all your organs. You should not consider having anything removed.. We hired you intact. To have something removed constitutes a breach of employment.
HOLIDAYS
Each employee will receive 104 holidays per year. They are called Saturday and Sunday..
BEREAVEMENT LEAVE
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends or relatives. Every effort should be made to have non-employees to attend to the arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled for the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch-hour and subsequently leave one hour early, provided your share of the work is done.
ABSENT FOR YOUR OWN DEATH
This will be accepted as an excuse. However, we require at least two weeks' notice to allow time for you to train your own replacement.
TOILET USE
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilets. In the future,
we will follow the practice of going in alphabetical order. For
instance: All employees whose names begin with 'A' will go from 8.00 to 8.20, employees whose names begin with 'B' will go from 8.20 to 8.40 and so on. If you are unable to go at your allotted time, it will be necessary to wait until the next day when your turn comes again. In extreme emergencies employees may swap their time with a co-worker. Both workers' supervisors must approve this exchange in writing. In addition, there is now a strict 3-minute time limit in the toilets. At the end of 3 minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper will retract, and the door will open.
LUNCH BREAK
Skinny people get an hour for lunch as they need to eat more so they can look healthy, normal size people get 30 minutes for lunch to maintain their average figure. Fat people get 5 minutes for lunch because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim fast and take a diet pill.
DRESS CODE
It is advised that you must come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing designer clothing we will assume that you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a pay rise.
Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation or input should be directed elsewhere.
Please deliver this message to your colleagues and have a nice & healthy days of your lives.
