Kwa Mukhtasari

WAZIRI Mkuu Raila Odinga amenusurika baada ya msafara wake kuingilia ghafla na lori aina ya Canter kwenye barabara ya kuelekea uwanja wa ndege wa kimataifa wa Moi, Mombasa. Lori hilo lilimkosa kwa hatua chache.

WAZIRI Mkuu Raila Odinga Jumatatu alinusurika baada ya msafara wake kugongwa na gari la Canter barabara ya kuelekea uwanja wa ndege wa kimataifa wa Moi mjini Mombasa.

Kulingana na duru za polisi, msafara wa Bw Odinga ulikumbana na ajali hiyo pale ulipogongwa na gari hilo lililotoka upande wa pili na kumuumiza afisa wa polisi mwendeshaji wa pikipiki aliyemshindikiza Waziri Mkuu.

“Gari lilichomoza ghafla na kujitosa kwenye msafara kisha kumgonga mwendeshaji wa pikipiki likimkosa Waziri Mkuu kwa hatua chache,” alisema afisa mmoja wa trafiki aliyeshuhudia ajali hiyo.

Mkuu wa polisi mkoani Pwani Bw Aggrey Adoli alilaumu ajali hiyo kwa uendeshaji mbovu wa dereva wa Canter. Dereva huyo aliruka inje na kutoroka kwa miguu baada ya ajali hiyo na polisi kufikia Jumatatu jioni walikuwa wakimsaka bado.

“Tumeliburuta gari la Canter hadi katika kituo cha polisi cha Changamwe na tunamsaka dereva bado. Dereva huyo alijitokea tu kiholela upande wa pili pasipo kuangalia magaro mengine,” alisema Bw Adoli.

Bw Adoli alisema polisi mwendeshaji wa pikipiki alijeruhiwa kidogo na akaweza kuendelea na safari yake kuelekea uwanja wa ndege. Aliongeza kwamba pikipiki hiyo iliyokuwa ikiongoza msafara wa Waziri Mkuu iliharibika injini yake.

Kumjulia hali

Bw Odinga alishuka kutoka kwa gari lake na kuenda kumjulia askari huyo hali yake huku msongamano mkubwa wa magari ukitokea pande zote za barabara huku polisi wakijaribu kuivuta Canter hiyo kuelekea kituo cha polisi cha Changamwe.

Baadae, msafara wa Waziri Mkuu uliendelea hadi uwanjani mwa ndege na waziri Mkuu kuendelea na safari yake ya Nairobi.

“Waziri Mkuu alisimama pale kwa takriban nusu saa akiongea na maafisa wa polisi akiuliza hali ya mwenzao. Kisha alirejea ndani ya gari lake na wakaenda,” askari aliyeshuhudia kisa hicho aliliambia gazeti la Taifa Leo.

Bw Odinga alikuwa akirudi Nairobi baada ya ziara ya siku mbili mkoani Pwani ambapo alihudhuria harusi ya mwanaharakati wa haki za binadamu Bw Hassan Omar Sarai ambaye pia ametangaza kuwania kiti cha useneta wa kaunti ya Mombasa.

Abiria zaidi ya 40 wamenusurika kifo baada ya basi waliokuwa wakisafiri aina ya Coaster, lenye nambari za usajili T 374 AVR, kupinduka lilipogongwa kwa nyuma na basi jingine la kampuni ya El Saedy lenye nambari T 499 AVG.

Kwa mujibu wa mashuhuda wa basi la El Saedy likiwa katika hali ya mwendokasi liliharibika mfumo wa breki kutoka eneo la Mlima Nyoka na kuligonga basi hilo dogo kwa nyuma katika mteremko wa Shule ya Sekondari Imezu, hali iliyopelekea basi hilo dogo kupinduka.

Baada ya Coaster kupinduka basi la El Saedy likiwa bado katika mwendokasi liliendelea na safari, kabla ya dereva kufanikiwa kulichepusha kabla halijavuka reli ya TAZARA katika Kijiji cha Inyala Wilaya ya Mbeya Vijijini.

Aidha baadhi ya abiria katika basi hilo dogo walikuwemo wanafunzi 28, wa kike na kiume wakielekea shuleni majira ya saa moja asubuhi, Aprili 23 mwaka huu katika Shule ya Sekondari Imezu.

Mara baada ya ajali hiyo kutokea baadhi ya abiria walikuwemo katika basi hilo dogo walikimbizwa katika Hospitali ya Rufaa Jijini Mbeya, ambapo kati yao wamelazwa ili kufanyiwa uchunguzi na wengine wakiruhusiwa kurudi nyumbani.

Kaimu Kamanda wa Jeshi la Polisi wa Mkoa wa Mbeya Barakiel Masaki,hakupatikana kuelezea ajali hiyo ingawa dereva wa basi la El Saedy anashikiliwa na Polisi kwa mahojiano.

Wakati huo huo watroto watano waliokuwa wakioga katika mfereji wa Mwanjejele, uliopo Igurusi Wilaya ya Mbarali, Aprili 22 mwaka huu majira ya saa tisa alasiriwaliokota begi lililokuwa linaelea katika maji ya mfereji huo na kukuta maiti ya mtoto mchanga.

Maiti hiyo ikiwa imeharibika vibaya kutokana na kuoza ndipo walipolichukua begi hilo na kulikabidhi katika Kituo cha Polisi cha Igurusi.

Hata hivyo hakuna mtu yeyote aliyekamatwa kuhusika na tukio hilo, licha ya wimbi la kuuawa kwa watoto wachanga Mkoani Mbeya limekuwa tatizo hali inayosababisha vifo kwa watoto wasio na hatia.

Drake Says He Has No Interest In Making Dance Music

Drake explains that he would rather work with someone like Jamie xx over David Guetta.

Many artists including Nicki Minaj and Usher have collaborated with electronic dance music musicians to expand their reach worldwide, but Drake says he won’t follow the trend.
During an interview with NME (via MixMag), the Young Money rapper said that he has no interest in making “David Guetta stuff" because it isn’t true to his artistry.
“For me, the David Guetta stuff just doesn't work. I don't really wanna go there,” he said. “There's other artists, that's their sound. They feel in order to thrive internationally that they gotta do straightforward, four to the floor, David Guetta, Pitbull music."

He says that he’d rather collaborate with someone like Jamie xx, who worked on the title track for Take Care. “For me, I'd rather go to somebody like Jamie xx and tell him, 'Look, I really wanna turn the club upside down, but I wanna do it with integrity, with soul."

Rakim Says Hip Hop "Needs A Few More Kanye Wests"

Rakim praises Kanye West's music, saying that Hip Hop is in need of more artists like him.

Throughout his 25-plus year career, fans and artists alike have garnered Rakim with extensive amounts of praise for his craft. Now, the legendary Long Island emcee returns the accolades to one of Hip Hop's biggest current icons, Kanye West.
In a recent interview with The Atlantic, the God Emcee praised Kanye West as both an artist and a member of the Hip Hop community. He said that Yeezy's deft as both a producer and emcee has helped him take Hip Hop in new a unique directions. Ra also added that even Ye's notorious outbursts are signs of his devotion to music.
"I love Kanye for that. Being a producer, making beats, and being a rapper. He does it all," he explained. "Now, sometimes somebody can give you a credible track. But when you're searching for records or samples, only you know in your mind, in your intuition or your first instincts, what you need. When you hear that record, there's no denying it - 'Oh my God, I've got to sample this.' And he has that situation where he's lucky enough to love rhyming but can make his own beats, and that's like the perfect match. When he plays a record, his mind is on it right away. So, being able to do that and the way he does it, Kanye is not afraid to reach...like, 'Jesus Walks' is one of my favorite Kanye songs. To this day, that song comes on, and I want to turn it all the way up. I don't want nobody to talk to me. I just want to enjoy that track, you know what I mean? A lot of tracks he does, he's not afraid to go out the box where a lot of rappers might say, 'Oh, I'mma do my 16 bars.' Kanye just does whatever the track tells him to do—and that comes from being a rapper and being a producer at the same time."
He added, "You feel that in the award shows stuff where Kanye has these episodes, right? It's because he's passionate. If a lot of us don't take it that serious, then it's not going to be serious no more. People say, 'That was his opinion, but he was so passionate about it,' like that's bad. You've got to say, 'Well, really?' We need that. We need the media to know that some of us are really passionate about music...we need a few more Kanyes, people that's really passionate about Hip Hop and who keep it alive."
Back in 2007, Rakim and Kanye famously collaborated on the song "Classic" with DJ Premier, Nas and KRS-One in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Nike Air Force 1 sneaker.

MATUKIO MBALIMBALI KATIKA MECHI YA LEO CHELSEA SC

Centre of attention: Chelsea face Barcelona for a spot in the Champions League final on Tuesday night

'When super-villains want to scare each other, they tell Joker stories,' says Trickster, a lesser crook appearing in the 1995 DC comic series Underworld Unleashed. 

Those wanting to scare Barcelona tell Chelsea stories instead. John Terry standing firm with two broken ribs. The six games that have passed since Barcelona last beat them. The time Chelsea came back from 2-1 down to win 5-4 on aggregate. 

'Really strong, really competitive,' was how Barcelona central defender Gerard Pique described Chelsea yesterday. 

Leading the way: The Blues arrive in Barcelona with a slender 1-90 advantage over the Spanish giants

'They know how to play these games and are very experienced. Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, players like this have a lot of games in their legs. They know exactly what they are doing.'

Behind the curmudgeon's mask - Barcelona's players rarely lose without laying a charge of anti-football against the victors - there appears grudging admiration between these sides. 

When Barcelona captain Carles Puyol greeted his opposite number Terry before last week's match at Stamford Bridge, there was surprising warmth between the two old warriors. 

Hair we go: David Luiz and Didier Drogba train at the Nou Camp on Monday evening 

 

As Puyol nursed a hand injury in the first-half, Terry held it almost mockingly when they came together at a corner, as if to make the point that men of their stature are not fazed by trivial wounds. Puyol, of course, played on. 

As Barcelona and Chelsea will play on tonight, beauty and the beast, their styles contrasting, perfectly. The best fights, it is said, are between boxers who conflict technically, and perhaps the best football, too. 

Barcelona versus Barcelona Lite would be a poor contest - as it has often proved when the Catalans face Arsenal, and even Manchester United of late - but Barcelona pitted against a nemesis, Chelsea, or any of the teams managed by Jose Mourinho (which still includes Chelsea to some extent, such is his terrifying influence) is a real match. 

Reach for the stars: Chelsea are looking for revenge after losing their 2009 semi-final against Barca

So they need each other. Just as Holmes needed Moriarty, 'the Napoleon of crime' as Arthur Conan Doyle styled him, so Barcelona must take their own trip over the Reichenbach Falls, locked in combat with a cunning, brutish villain, powerful, relentless, and last week seemingly impervious to attack. 

The critics have it wrong. 'For the sake of the game, I hope Barcelona win,' said former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin Van Der Sar. 'I love teams who attack, Chelsea did nothing but defend with nine players.' 

Ronald Koeman, who scored the goal that won Barcelona the European Cup against Sampdoria in 1992, joined this chorus of disapproval.

Pure theatre: The Nou Camp will play host to Tuesday night's second leg

'I have no admiration for Chelsea's approach,' he sniffed. 'I was appalled they did not try to make more of the game. As a coach, I would never let my team play as Chelsea did.' 

As a coach he may not get the chance again. Koeman's Feyenoord team are currently third in the Dutch Eredivisie, six points off top place, but three points from sixth. This is his ninth coaching job since 1998 and while he has won three Dutch titles (Ajax 2001-02, 2003-04 and PSV Eindhoven 2006-07), recent appointments include a disappointing spell at Valencia, who fell to 15th on his watch and seven defeats in 16 matches during a brief spell at AZ Alkmaar. 

High-minded principles are to be admired but a meeting of Barcelona and Koeman's current Feyenoord team would in all likelihood be a mismatch, signifying nothing. 

On the ball: Barca will be keen to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid on Saturday

There is little more tiresome than good football, played ineffectively. Barcelona murder teams that try to match them technically without the necessary equipment. All Chelsea have ever done to frustrate them is play to their own strengths and coach Roberto Di Matteo's gameplan is unlikely to stray too far from the tried and tested tonight. 

'We have to attempt to score, because it is difficult to play for a goalless draw in Nou Camp,' he admitted. 

'We will concentrate on the qualities within this team, look at the strengths of our players and the weakness of the opposition. We need to get the best out of ourselves.' 

Does this mean more dogged defending, a bank of nine resisting, quick counter attacks and some direct play up to an imposing forward, probably Drogba? More than likely. But what is wrong with that? Where does it say that football equates to Barcelona and a million lame imitations?

In charge: Guardiola oversees Barcelona's exciting brand of football

MTOTO WA MADONNA, LOUSIE CICCONE AKUTWA AKIVUTA SIGARA

NYOTA wa muziki wa pop, Madonna Louise Ciccone amesema ameshtushwa na picha za mwanaye, Lourdes Leon zilizozagaa ambazo alipigwa wakati akivuta sigara akiwa katika matembezi.

Madonna ameapa kufanya kila awezalo kumuachisha binti yake huyo mwenye umri wa miaka 15, huku akisema kitendo hicho kimemuumiza.

Mtoto huyo alipigwa picha akivuta sigara huku akiwa amezungukwa na wavulana katika mitaa ya Jiji la New York mwezi uliopita.

Mwanamuziki huyo amesema kama mzazi, kitendo hicho kumemuumiza na pia binti huyo amefanya kosa ambalo linaweza kumuingiza matatizoni kwa kuwa kwa sheria za Marekani mtu anayeuruhusiwa kuvuta ni yule aliyetimiza umri wa miaka 18.

"Hili litanifanya niwe mkali sasa, kila kitu huwa ninazungumza naye kwa utaratibu, lakini hili la kuvuta sigara sitaweza kulivumilia," anasema Madonna.

Victoria Beckham Turns Designer Hand To Cars

Victoria Beckham 

Victoria Beckham and David Beckham 

British fashion designer Victoria Beckham had her soccer-superstar husband "David in mind" when helping create a new special edition of Range Rover's off-road vehicle, the "Evoque".

"I've stayed very true to myself. I've designed a car that I want to drive, a car that I think David wants to drive," the former Spice Girl told Reuters in an interview in Beijing, where she was promoting the vehicle, late on Sunday.

"I think that though women will drive this car, it has a masculine edge. I think it's very cool," she added.

Beckham, who admitted she had never done a project like this before, said she had learned "an enormous amount."

"And the bottom line is, would I drive this car, like when I'm designing a dress, would I wear this dress? I love what I do. I consider myself so blessed to do a job that I love and this has been a great experience for me," said Beckham, wearing a sleeveless striped dress from her own collection.

She said she searched for inspiration in many places.

"I did a lot of research and not just with cars, old and new, but boats, planes, movie stars, different locations," she said.

"It would be hard to pinpoint exactly where the inspiration came from. It's just what I like, that's the bottom line. I don't try to be too technical about it ... It's what feels real to me."

The special edition "Evoque" features exclusive, hand-finished matt paint, the first for a Land Rover-type vehicle.

The vehicle also has rose gold accents on the grille and gloss black forged alloy wheels. Inside, the four-seat coupe includes vintage-inspired leather seats, rose gold-plated accents and features trimmings of black lacquer, textured aluminium and mohair.

In addition, the vehicle has bespoke luxury accessories, such as a four-piece leather luggage set and a hand-sewn leather wallet for the owner's manual signed by (Victoria) Beckham.

The special edition "Evoque" costs 80,000 pounds, twice the cost of a regular model. Only 200 will be made, the first of which will be rolled out in China as early as October.

Beckham has begun to make a name for herself as a designer, and in 2011 picked up a British Fashion Award.

Still, the singer-turned-designer said she "doesn't want to run, before she can walk" with her collection.

"I mean, each season, I add more retail partners to my list of retailers but because it's important for me, as a brand, to keep things quite small. I want my customer to feel quite special when she finds one of my dresses or handbags. I don't want it to get too big too quickly."

JACOB ZUMA AOA MKE WA SITA BI BONGI NGEMA

Rais Jacob Zuma na mkewe Bongi Ngema wakikata keki.

...Wakiwa na nyuso za tabasamu.

...Hapa ni wakati wa ndoa ya kimila.

Zuma akiwa amevaa ngozi ya chui na kubeba ngao wakati wa harusi ya kimila.

...Harusi ya kimila ikiendelea.

Picha Zote kwa hisani ya AFP/GETTY IMAGES.

RAIS wa Afrika Kusini, Jacob Zuma, jana Jumamosi ameoa mke wa sita katika sherehe ya siku ya pili iliyopambwa kwa shamra za kabila la Wazulu. Rais huyo mwenye umri wa miaka 70 alimwoa Bongi Ngema siku ya Ijumaa katika mvumo wa nyimbo za Kizulu akiwa amevaa ngozi ya chui na kubeba ngao huku akiwa amezungukwa na wanaume waliokuwa wamvalia nguo za wapiganaji wa kijadi.

Msimamizi wa ndoa hiyo alikuwa ni mke wa nne wa Zuma aitwaye Nkandla katika sherehe iliyofanyika KwaZulu-Natal na kufuatiwa na sherehe za kisasa ambazo zilikuwa ni pamoja na kukata keki.

Zuma na Ngema wana mtoto wa miaka saba wa kiume. Ndoa hiyo ni ya tatu katika miaka minne iliyopita naya pili tangu ashike urais wa nchi hiyo mwaka 2009 akiwa rais mwenye wake wengi.

Kiongozi huyo ameoa mara sita na ana watoto 21 ambapo mmoja wa wake zake amekufa na mwingine ambaye ni Waziri wa Mambo ya Ndani, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma – ametalikiana naye. Wanawake hao hufaidika kwa kusafiri na rais huyo na kufanya kazi za ukatibu mahsusi, pamoja na kufuatana naye katika ziara za kiserikali.

Pamoja na kwamba Zuma aligharimia ndoa hiyo yeye mwenyewe, serikali pia imeongeza bajeti yake maradufu kwa zaidi ya Dola milioni mbili kutokana na kumwoa mwanamke huyo akiwa mmoja wa familia yake.

Hata hivyo, ndoa ya wanawake wengi inaonekana kupoteza umaarufu nchini Afrika Kusini ambapo ustaarabu wa nchi za Magharibi unazidi kuota mizizi ambapo idadi kubwa ya watu wa nchi hiyo hawakubaliani na utamaduni huo hivi sasa.
