Basi lilikuwa linasafiri kutoka Mombasa na lilishambuliwa lilipofika kaunti ya Lamu na wanaume waliolisimamisha na kulimiminia risasi.

Watu waliofanya shambulio hilo bado hawajafahamika lakini nchini Somalia, kundi la kigaidi la al-Shabab limekuwa likihusika na mashambulizi kadhaa nchini humo.

Maafisa wanasema kuwa usalama wameuimarisha ili kuhakikisha wanawakamata wahusika ambao wamekimbia.

Kenya ina jeshi nchini Somalia inalosaidia Umoja wa mataifa-UN kusaidiana na serikali kupambana na magaidi wa al-Shabab.

Nchhi hiyo imekuwa katika tahadhari kubwa wakati wa sikukuu za krismasi na mwaka mpya, baada ya taarifa za intelijensia kueleza kuwa al-Shabab wanaweza kufanya shambulizi.

Mwandishi wa habari Erick Kabendera anyimwa ruhusa ya kumzika mama yake

03/01/2020

Mahakama ya Hakimu Mkazi Kisutu jijini Dar es Salaam imemnyima mwandishi wa habari Erick Kabendera aliye rumande ruhusa ya kwenda kumuaga au kumzika mama yake.

Mama yake Kabendera, Bi Verdiana Mujwahuzi, alifariki dunia siku ya Jumanne tarehe 31 Desemba 2019 katika hospitali ya Amana jijini Dar es Salaam.

Akitoa uamuzi wa mahakama hiyo, Hakimu Mkazi Mkuu, Janeth Mtega alisema mahakama hiyo haina mamlaka ya kutoa amri ya Kabendera kusindikizwa chini ya ulinzi kwenda kutoa heshima za mwisho kwa marehemu mama yake mzazi.

Uamuzi huo ulikuja katika awamu ya pili ya usikilizwaji wa kesi hiyo baada ya upande wa mashitaka na utetezi, kubishana kwa hoja kwa saa kadhaa na baadae hakimu kuahirisha usikilizaji hadi baadae ambapo hakimu alikuwa tayari kutoa uamuzi wa mahakama.

• Mama wa mwandishi wa habari Erick Kabendera afariki dunia
• Mama Mzazi wa Mwandishi Erick Kabendera amwangukia Rais Magufuli

Awali, upande wa utetezi ulitoa hoja kadhaa za kwanini mahakama itoe amri kwa Kabendera kuruhusiwa kwenda kumuaga ama kumzika marehemu Mama yake mzazi.

Mmoja wa mawakili wa Kabendera Jebra Kambole aliiambia mahakama kuwa, suala la mtu kuhudhuria sala ya mwisho ya msiba ni haki ya msingi ya binadamu, ni haki ya faragha ya kuwa na familia kama ilivyoainishwa katika Ibara ya 16 katiba ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania ya Mwaka 1977.

Lakini aliongeza pia kwamba haki hiyo inaambatana na kutimiza dhana kwamba mtuhumiwa hana hatia hadi pale itakapothibitishwa na mahakama kama ilivyoelezwa na katiba pia.

"Kwa kumzuia kuhudhuria heshima ya mwisho ya mama yake tutakuwa tunamuadhibu na adhabu hiyo itakuwa ni kubwa sana na ya kinyama kushindwa kuhudhuria maziko ya mama yake" aliongeza wakili Kambole.

Wakili Kambole aliongeza kwamba wakati mahakama inafanya maamuzi juu ya ruhusa hiyo ni muhimu yazingatie uhusiano uliokuwepo kati ya marehemu na mfiwa, mama na mtoto.

Aliikumbusha mahakama kwamba Kabendera ndiye ambaye alikuwa akimuuguza mama yake kabla ya kukamatwa kwake na kwamba ni vyema basi akaruhusiwa angalau kwenda kutoa heshima za mwisho kwa marehemu mama yake.

Hata hivyo upande wa mashtaka ulisimama na kupinga hoja hizo na kudai kwamba mahakama hiyo ya hakimu mkazi haina mamlaka ya kisheriaya kutoa amri ya kupelekwa Kabendera kwenda kumuaga mama yake.

"Maombi yameletwa si kwa wakati sahihi kwamba mahakama haina mamlaka Hata kama sisi tunasikitika kwamba ni msiba mkubwa lakini taratibu za kisheria ni muhimu kuzingatiwa" alisema Wakili wa Serikali Mwandamizi, Wankyo Simon.

Wakili Simon alidai kwamba hii si mara ya kwanza kwa mahabusu kufiwa, lakini pia hoja za upande wa utetezi hazina nguvu ya kisheria.

Kufuatia uamuzi huo wa mahakama, upande wa utetezi umesema hata kama wanakubaliana na dhana ya mahakama ya hakimu mkazi kutokuwa na mamlaka ya kisheria katika kesi ya kiuchumi kama hii, haukubaliani na uamuzi wa mahakama kumnyima Kabendera fursa ya kumuaga Mama yake kwa mara ya mwisho

Kuhusu mchakato wa 'plea bargain', upande wa mashtaka ulisema upande wa utetezi umekamilisha marekebisho katika maombi yao waliyotakiwa kufanya, hivyo mchakato huo unaendelea

Kesi ya Kabendera imeahirishwa zaidi ya mara kumi, na leo pia imeahirishwa na kupangiwa kusikilizwa tena tarehe 13 January 2020.

Netanyahu kuomba kinga ya dhidi ya mashitaka yanayomkabili

Kufuatia mashitaka matatu ya ufisadi aliyofunguliwa waziri mkuu wa Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu kuliomba bunge limpe kinga dhidi ya mashitaka yanayomkabili

Waziri mkuu wa Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu amesema atawasilisha maombi bungeni ya kupewa kinga dhidi ya mashitaka matatu tofauti ya ufisadi aliyofunguliwa na mwendesha mashitaka mkuu wa Israel, Avichai Mandelblit.

Katika taarifa aliyoitoa wiki iliyopita Netanyahu alisema kinga ni katika misingi ya kidemokrasia na akaashiria kwamba ataomba kinga hiyo bungeni.

Wataalamu wa Israel wanasema kwa hali iliyopo itakuwa ngumu kwa Netanyahu kupewa kinga hiyo na bunge.

Muda mfupi baada ya taarifa ya Netanyahu, kiongozi wa kambi ya upinzani Benny Gantz alisema,

"Kinga kwa Netanyahu ni kuvunja misingi ya usawa wa kisheria kwa kila mmoja, Netanyahu anafahamu kwamba yeye ni muhalifu”.

US na China kushirikiana dhidi ya Korea Kaskazini

Image captionMkutano wa dunia kuhusu Nuklia

Korea kaskazini imekuwa gumzo wakati wa mkutano wa dunia juu ya usalama wa nyuklia unaofanyika mjini Washngton.

Baada ya kukutana na Rais Xi Jinping wa China, Rais Barack Obama amesema wote wanawajibu wa kulifanya eneo hilo la rasi ya Korea kuwa eneo huru lisilo na nyuklia na kuiweka vikwazo zaidi dhidi ya Pyongyang.

Hali ya wasiwasi imetanda juu ya jaribio la Korea kaskazini kuendelea silaha za nyuklia na majaribio yake ya teknolojia ya makombora.

Awali Rais Obama alikutana na viongozi wa Japan na Korea kusini kuweka msimamo wa pamoja juu ya suala la usalama katika rasi hiyo ya Korea.

Pamoja na kwamba nchi ya pili kwa nuklia duniani Urusi haijahudhuria mkutano huo, Rais Obama alifanya mazungumzo na Rais Xi Jinping of China ambapo amesema yeye pamoja na Rais XI wamekubaliana kuondoa nuklia katika eneo la rasi ya Korea na kutekeleza vikwazo vipya vilivyopitishwa na Umoja wa Matiafa kwa lengo la kuipa shinikizo jipya Korea Kaskazini.

Kwa upande wake Rais Xi amesema China inataka kuongeza mawasiliano na kuratibu jambo hilo ambapo nchi zote mbili zimekubaliana kukutana kila mwaka kuzungumzia masuala ya usalama wa nyuklia.

Wamesema pia watafanya kazi kwa pamoja kuzuia malighafi za kutengeneza nuklia na kuratibu juhudi za kuzuia malighafi hizo kuangukia mikononi mwa magaidi.

Hata hivyo kasoro moja katika mkutano huo ni kutokuwepo kwa Rais Vladimir Putin. Urusi na Marekani wanamiliki karibu asilimia 90 ya silaha za nyuklia hivyo Mosco kukataa kuhudhuria mkutano huo unaweza kufanya makubaliano yatakayofikia isiyatekeleze.

'Joint stakeholder efforts needed to ensure women secure land rights'

 JOINT interventions from different stakeholders on land rights are required in ensuring that women are provided with intensive education on the rights of land ownership.

 

Grace Ngonyani, a programme Officer in Tanzania Media Women Association (Tamwa) in Zanzibar cited lack of education and awareness in women on land issues as one of the factors that continue to fuel gender based violence at a seminar organised by the NGO.

 

She noted that majority of women in Zanzibar are denied their rights to own land.

 

“Land ownership among women is still one of the problems that have continued to increase and fuel GBV, majority of women are suffering from this factor,” stressed Ngonyani.

 

The seminar was meant to create awareness hence provide women with education on the rights of land ownership.

 

According to her, affecting women most is the issue of lack of education and awareness to where they can report such cases.

 

Ngonyani noted that Tamwa has been receiving many cases from women who have no knowledge on where to report their cases.

 

She said the association has managed to assist 45 women who were experiencing problems in securing their land rights.

 

Explaining, Ngonyani said that there are many women who still suffer from this situation due to lack of education and knowledge on where to report their cases.

 

She said most of the acts are conducted by their spouses who continued to say that women have no rights to own land.

 

The Tamwa programme officer also pointed out that the association is working hard and tireless to help women to get their rights on land.

 

Ngonyani added: “Tamwa believes that intervention between different stakeholders will be a big help in creating awareness and education in providing women to know their rights in land ownership.”

 

Contributing in the discussion, Bahati Issa Suleiman, a participant from Kokoni, said the problem has continued to affect many women resulting in outbreak of violence among them.

 

“I have a case where my husband stole my land certificate and changed the ownership name. It is sad that without him knowing, I worked hard to get my rights from authorities without any help,” she cried.

 

According to her, she asked support from Tamwa to help her acquire her property.

 

Responding to questions from the audience, official from the Land Commission, Hassan Nassor said many women still do not have knowledge on where to report such cases whenever they arise.

 

“The ministry through the Commission of Land has started disseminating education to the public especially women on land ownership,” he said.

Nassor called upon women to report such cases to the Commission immediately whenever they come across them.

31bn/- to support construction of Arusha regional referral hospital BY GRACE CHILONGOLA

The Tanzania Investment Bank (TIB) has agreed to provide 31bn/- to finance construction of the Arusha Regional referral hospital which will be erected at the current premises of Mount Meru Regional Hospital.

 

Speaking to reporters at the start of the week, Arusha Regional Commissioner Felix Ntibenda, said the money is a loan and all procedures to secure it have been completed.

 

“Very soon a pact will be signed between the bank officials and the Regional Administration Secretary (RAS) for the construction to start,” the RC said.

 

Ntibenda said the authorities continue to improve buildings and health service delivery at the hospital ahead of construction of the referral hospital. He cited among other improvements,  introduction of an MSD pharmaceutical depot that is at 95per cent completion and is already preparing to open soon.

 

“It will make access to medical services more affordable and spare the public the high prices at  the private stores,” he said.

 

Regional Administrative  Secretary of Arusha Adoh Mapunda placed the loan signing sometime next week at which point, the bank will announce a tender to find a contractor to build the hospital.

 

He congratulated stakeholders who have contributed to the ongoing renovation at the regional hospital while the regional engineer, Edward Mwabomba, noted that the hospital was built back in 1915 and is considerably depleted.

 

“The hospital was built as barracks to treat casualties of the First World War...the plan is to now build new buildings and demolish the old ones,” he said.

 

He said the new building will consist of eight sites including staff quarters, training, recreation and other amneties like parking lots.

“These buildings will reduce the burden of patients especially women during delivery and reduce deaths during childbirth,” he said noting that the main section will be a five storey building.

 

 On his part, doctor in charge at the hospital Dr Jacklin Urio said the 500-bed hospital serves 1.6 million people a year and that population growth is overwhelming the facility.

 

He said the new referral hospital will have 600 beds, 50 beds will be for intensive care (ICU), the third floor will be for VIPs including national leaders and internationals.

Lukanga is accused of purchasing two vehicles at the cost of  92,750,000/- and misappropriation of 294 million/- meant for the irrigation project.

Simbachawene had therefore appointed head of water department, Sultan Ndilowa as acting director which was vacant hitherto  by   Nyambale while the Katavi Regional Administrative Secretary, Lauteri Kaoni  was appointed acting   district director for Mpanda.

 

“The appointment follows the sack  of the two directors as the government continues with investigations on the allegations against them and once proven legal matters will follow,” said Kwandu.

CCM yataka Chadema imfukuze Lowassa. NA MARY GEOFREY

Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), kimeibuka na kuutaka uongozi wa Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema), umfukuze uanachama aliyekuwa mgombea urais kupitia chama hicho, Edward Lowassa.

 

Hatua hiyo ya CCM imekuja siku moja baada ya Mwanasheria Mkuu wa Chadema, Tundu Lissu, kusema ufisadi ni ajenda yao ya kudumu. Kutokana na kauli hiyo ya Lissu, CCM imetaka Chadema imfukuze Lowassa, ili kutekeleza kwa vitendo kauli ya Lissu .

 

Lowassa ambaye ni Waziri Mkuu mstaafu, alihama CCM baada ya kuenguliwa kuwania urais kupitia chama hicho na kujiunga na Chadema ambako alipewa nafasi ya kugombea urais kupitia chama hicho na kuungwa mkono na Umoja wa Katiba ya Wananchi (Ukawa). 

 

Aidha, CCM imeitaka Chadema kutangaza hadharani kumuunga mkono Rais Dk. John Magufuli, kwa kazi anazozifanya, ikiwamo kukemea ufisadi badala ya kuzungumza kwa maneno bila vitendo.

 

Kauli hiyo, ilitolewa jana jijini Dar es Salaam na Katibu wa Nec, Itikadi na Uenezi wa CCM, Nape Nnaye, ambaye alisema chama hicho kimekosa ajenda kwa kuwakumbatia mafisadi.

 

“Tundu Lissu nimemwelewa alichokisema lakini waache kuwahadaa Watanzania kuwa ufisadi ni ajenda yao. Wakitaka kufanya hivyo kwanza wamfukuze Lowassa na pia watangaze hadharani kumuunga mkono Rais Magufuli. Hapo tutawaelewa badala ya kuzungumza tu bila vitendo,” alisema Nape.

 

Akizungumzia sababu za CCM kutomfukuza Lowassa akiwa ndani ya chama hicho, alisema jambo hilo lilifanyika kupitia kampeni yake ya vua gamba.

 

“Tulianzisha kulishughulikia suala la ufisadi ndani ya chama tangu enzi za kuvua gamba na kama unavyoona hatimaye aliondoka. Lakini  ifahamike kuwa kila jambo linafanyika kwa wakati wake,” alisema.

 

Lissu ambaye pia ni Mbunge wa Singida Mashariki, jana alinukuliwa na gazeti moja (si Nipashe) akisema kuwa chama chake kitaendeleza ajenda ya  mapambano dhidi ya ufisadi kwa kuwa ajenda za taifa ni nyingi na Rais Magufuli hataweza kuzitekeleza.

 

Katika hatua nyingine, CCM imesema inatarajia kuadhimisha miaka 39 ya kuzaliwa kwake ambayo kitaifa yatafanyika mkoani Singida Februari 6, mwaka huu.

 

Nape alisema uzinduzi wa maadhimisho hayo, utafanyika Januari 31 kisiwani Unguja na kwamba mgeni rasmi anatarajiwa kuwa Makamu Mwenyekiti wa CCM na Rais wa Zanzibar, Dk. Ali Mohamed Shein.

 

Alisema maadhimisho hayo yenye kaulimbiu ‘Sasa Kazi, Kujenga Nchi na Kukijenga Chama’,  yatatanguliwa na shughuli za mbalimbali za maendeleo katika mikoa yote nchini.

 

Alizitaja shughuli hizo kuwa ni kuingiza wanachama wapya na kufanya mikutano ya kuwashukuru wananchi kwa kukichagua tena chama katika ngazi ya urais, wabunge na madiwani.

 

Kwa mujibu wa Nape, kilele cha siku ya kuzaliwa kwa CCM huadhimishwa Februari 5 kila mwaka, lakini mwaka huu kitakuwa  Februari 6 kwa sababu Februari 5 itakuwa siku ya kazi.

Maalimu Seif sasa amwangukia Papa Benedict uchaguzi Z'bar

Makamu wa Kwanza wa Rais wa Zanzibar, Seif Sharif Hamad, amemwangukia Papa Benedict XVI kwa kumwandikia barua, akimuomba kutumia ushawishi wake na Tanzania kumaliza mzozo wa kisiasa kisiwani humo kabla hali haijawa mbaya.

 

Kwa mujibu wa barua yake ya Novemba 25, mwaka jana ambayo gazeti hili imefanikiwa kuona nakala yake, Maalim Seif alimwomba Papa kutumia ushawishi alionao kwa serikali ya Tanzania ili kuhakikisha haki inatendeka na kuepusha vurugu zinazoweza kutokea.

 

“Ni wiki tatu sasa tangu kufanyika kwa uchaguzi mkuu na hali hii imesababisha kusimama kwa baadhi ya shughuli za kuichumi kutokana na wananchi wengi kuwa na hofu kuhusu mustakabali wa hali hii….watu wanashindwa kujua nini kitatokea maana wana hofu kwamba hali hii inaweza kuharibu umoja wa kitaifa kwa watu kuishi kwa upendo bila kujali dini wala kabila,” ilisema barua hiyo.

 

Barua hiyo ya Maalim Seif ilisema, Zanzibar ina mchanganyiko wa Waislamu na Wakristo, hivyo hakuna mgawanyiko kwa misingi ya udini lakini hatua ya wananchi kukosa haki yao ya kidemokrasia kupitia sanduku la kura baada ya miaka 20 ya chaguzi visiwani humo kunaweza kusababisha vijana ambao hawafurahishwi na mwenendo huo kutumia njia mbaya kutafuta haki yao.

 

“Badala ya kuchukua hatua za pamoja kuzuia uovu huu, Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania ambayo chama chake kilishinda kwenye uchaguzi mkuu uliopita, imekuwa ikisaidia serikali ya Zanzibar kwa kutumia askari na majeshi yake  kutishia watu wa upinzani,” ilisema.

 

 “Wakati mmishenari wa kikristu alipomuomba Sultan  wa Zanzibar  mwaka  1840  kibali cha  kujenga asasi ya kusaidia jamii kwenye eneo lake, Sultani yule ambaye alikuwa Muislamu alimtambua kama mtumishi wa Mungu aliyekuwa na lengo la kuendeleza neno la Mungu” ilisema sehemu ya barua hiyo kwenda kwa Papa.

 

Iliongeza kuwa, Zanzibar  ilipopata Uhuru wake mwaka 1963, kwa kiwango kikubwa watu wake waliishi kwa amani na ushirikiano baina ya watu wa madhehebu yote ya Katoliki, Anglikana, Sunni, Shia  na Hindu na hakukuwahi kuwa na mgogoro wala hofu ya watu hao kuhitilafiana kwa misingi ya tofauti ya dini.

 

Ilisema Chama cha Wananchi CUF kimekuwa kikishinda chaguzi zote tangu kuanzishwa kwa mfumo wa vyama vingi mwaka 1995, lakini haijawahi kupewa ushindi wake hata muhula mmoja.

KASI ya Magufuli Yaingia Vyuoni..Sasa Vyuo Vyote Visivyo na Sifa Kufutwa

Serikali ina mpango wa kukagua vyuo vikuu vyote nchini na vile ambavyo vitakuwa havina sifa itavifunga bila kusita kwani haitaki watanzania wafanyiwe majaribio katika elimu.

Taarifa hiyo imetolewa na waziri wa Elimu,Prof. Ndalichako ambaye amesema vyuo vingi havina sifa licha ya vyuo hivyo kupewa ithibati.

Prof. Ndalichako amesema inatakiwa angalau asilimia 50 ya walimu katika kila chuko kikuu kimoja wawe na shahada ya uzamivu(Ph.D) na kwamba haitakiwi mwalimu mwenye shahada ya kwanza kufundisha wanafunzi wa shahada ya kwanza.

Prof. ameongeza kuwa uwepo wa vyuo vingi visivyo na sifa kunapelekea uwepo wa vijana wengi wasio na ajira mitaani na hivyo kuongeza hasira.

CUF: Uchaguzi unaweza kuzua vurugu Zanzibar

Chama cha Wananchi (CUF) kimeonya kuwa kurudiwa kwa uchaguzi visiwani Zanzibar kunaweza kusababisha vurugu na kumtaka Rais wa Tanzania Dkt John Magufuli kuingilia kazi kutatua mzozo ulitokana na uchaguzi visiwani humo.

Katibu mkuu wa chama hicho Maalim Seif, akihutubia wanahabari, amesema chama hicho hakitaki uchaguzi urudiwe na kuendelea kusisitiza msimamo wa awali kwamba mshindi wa uchaguzi uliofanywa 25 Oktoba mwaka jana anafaa kutangazwa.

"Ni vyema tukaweka waziwazi hapa kwamba kurudiwa uchaguzi sio suluhishona hakukubaliki. Kwani, kama nilivyoonesha hakuna hoja wala msingi wa kikatiba na kisheria wa uchaguzi kurudiwa," amesema Bw Seif.

Bw Maalim Seif, aliyekuwa mgombea urais wa chama hicho, alionekana kupendekeza mwenyekiti wa Tume ya Uchaguzi Zanzibar (ZEC) Jecha Salim Jecha ang’atuke.

• Rais wa Zanzibar aongezewa muda
• Matokeo ya uchaguzi Zanzibar yafutwa

Chama hicho kimemtuhumu Rais wa visiwani Mohamed Ali Shein wa Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) kwa kukwamisha mashauriano ya kutafuta suluhu ili ZEC itangaze marudio ya uchaguzi.

Ingawa tarehe kamili haijatangazwa, Bw Seif na wenzake wamedokeza kwamba huenda kukawa na mipango ya kuitisha marudi ya uchaguzi tarehe 28 Februari 2016.

CCM imeonekana kuunga mkono kurudiwa kwa uchaguzi visiwani na majuzi viongozi wa chama hicho waliwataka wafuasi wake visiwani kujiandaa kwa marudio ya uchaguzi.

Tangazo hilo lilishutumiwa vikali na viongozi wa CUF.

Shein asema uchaguzi utarudiwa Zanzibar

Rais wa Zanzibar Dkt Ali Mohamed Shein amesisitiza kwamba uchaguzi visiwani

humo utarudiwa licha ya Chama cha Wananchi (CUF) kupinga wazo hilo.

Akihutubu wakati wa maadhimisho ya Siku ya Mapinduzi, Dkt Shein amesisitiza kwamba Tume ya Uchaguzi ya Zanzibar iliyafuta matokeo ya uchaguzi uliofanyika Oktoba mwaka jana.

Hata hivyo, amesema mazungumzo ya kutafuta suluhu ya mzozo huo wa Zanzibar bado inaendelea na taarifa ya pamoja itatolewa baada ya mazungumzo kukamilika.

“Tume ya Uchaguzi iliufuta uchaguzi wa Zanzibar tarehe 28 Oktoba, 2015, baada ya kubainika kutokea kwa kasoro kadhaa kama zilivyoelezwa na Tume ya Uchaguzi ya Zanzibar,” amesema.

“Nawaomba wananchi waendelee kuishi kwa amani na kupendana huku tukisubiri Tume ya Uchaguzi Zanzibar itangaze tarehe nyengine ya kurudia uchaguzi.”

Kiongozi wa chama cha CUF Maalim Seif akiwahutubia wanahabari jijini Dar es Salaam alikuwa amesema chama chake hakitakubali kurudiwa kwa uchaguzi.

Alionya kuwa hatua kama hiyo inaweza kuzua vurugu visiwani na kumuomba Rais wa Tanzania Dkt John Magufuli aingilie kati.

Awali, chama cha CCM kilikuwa kimewahimiza wafuasi wake visiwani humowajiandae kwa marudio ya uchaguzi.

Siku ya Mapinduzi hutumiwa kuadhimisha miaka 52 tangu kufanyika kwa Mapinduzi yaliyoondoa utawala wa Sultani tarehe 12 Januari 1964.
