Norway's students to get work illness cash boost - Students in Norway with part-time jobs are to be offered for the first time access to student loans to protect their income should they fall ill, announced the government on Monday.



From next summer students on sick leave from their non-academic work can also get access to grants from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund.
The income protection is part of a proposal the Norwegian government will present in October.
The rules today state if a student with part-time work receives sickness benefits from Nav, the individual does not have the right to get a sickness grant from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund. The Norwegian government wants to change this.
 
Conservative MP Henrik Asheim said: “There are many students working part-time today. It seems unreasonable that students who are ill and cannot work, and therefore receive sickness benefit, do not have the same rights to apply to the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund as students who do not have a part-time job. The government suggests making it possible to combine sickness allowance funds from the government benefit system, with a sickness grant from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund.”
 
Asheim believes the change will result in 1,750 more students being able to receive sickness grants. The sickness grant from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund will be balanced against the money that the student receives from Nav.
 
Norsk Studentorganisasjon (National Student Union of Norway) has for a long time argued for the move.

Waziri wa zamani wa CCM, Dr. Antony Diallo amlipua Waziri Mkuu mstahafu Edward Lowassa


Dkt. Antony Diallo.

Tuhuma za Kundi la Makuwadi wa EL dhidi yangu hayana msingi wowote na kama ni kweli Edward amewapa waziseme kwangu na kuhusisha Mheshimiwa Rais ni mwendelezo wa EL kumdharau Rais ambaye alimpa madaraka makubwa na kosa likiwa kukubali ajiudhuru baada ya kufanya madudu aliyoyafanya. Huu ni mwendelezo wa kumsumbus Rais ambao ulianza tangu 2008 baada ya kujiuzulu uwaziri mkuu. Anayoyasema haya sipendi kuyajibu ila kwa ajili ya kuweka kumbukumbu sawa, imebidi niyajibu lakini nikizingatia kuwa sitaweza kuyajibu yale ninayoyajua chini ya kiapo:

Sijamtuma Mzee yeyote kwenda kwa Lowasa kwa sababu sio waziri mkuu tena na hata kama angekuwa bado waziri mkuu nisingeweza kumwambia mtu akaniombee vyeo kwa Lowassa. Hao wazee aliowataja wapo Mwanza na mnaweza kupata namba zao za simu na kuwauliza kama nilishawahi kufanya hivyo. Pili, mwaka 2003/4 haukuwa mwaka wa uchaguzi, ilikuwaje niende kuomba cheo wakati niliingia baraza la Mhe. Rais Mkapa 2001? 

Wakati huo Lowassa hakuwa waziri mkuu! Tatu, mwaka 2004 sijaonana na JK na Karamagi hajanishawishi kumuunga mkono JK mwaka 2005. Mimi ndiye niliyetumwa kumwambia Lowassa asigombee 2005 kwa vile dhambi na tuhuma dhidi yake zilizotolewa na Mwalimu Nyerere zilikuwa kwenye mioyo ya Watanzania na asingeweza kupata kura za ushindi isipokuwa angempunguzia JK kura zake na wote kukosa. Karamagi tumekutana naye bungeni baada ya kuchaguliwa ubunge baada ya kifo cha Mhe. Kinyondo. 

Mimi nimezaliwa na kukua kwa kuzingatia nidhamu ya Kisukuma, sijalelewa kihuni kufika kumsema mtu kama JK. Namsema EL kwa sababu ni mchafu, na sasa sitayasema yaliyo mazito au machafu zaidi dhidi yake, hadi nitakapoona kweli kachukua fomu kugombea Urais! Mimi sijasema Lowassa alidhulumu CCM kupata hisa Vodacom, nilichosema CCM ilikuwa iwe mbia wa MTN, kampuni iliyonyimwa leseni wakijua fika kuwa ilikuwa ikisaidie chama, badala yake wakafanya njama kuvunja tume ya mawasiliano kihuni, na hapohapo wakaipatia vodacom leseni lowasa kwa kutumia watoto wake, alipata walikipata. 

Ushahidi kuhusu hili ni kampuni yake kupewa U-Super Dealer wa Vodacom ambayo uliwafanya wanufaike kwa kuuza simu nchi nzima.
Kama wanasema Lowassa ni mzima, naomba akakimbie uwanja wa Taifa azunguke hata mara moja kama hataishia ICU. Na kama ni mzima, anatumia fedha za nchi kwenda kutibiwa nini ujerumani kila wakati au Ujerumani nako siku hizi kuna waganga wa kienyeji? 

Pili kwanini alikwenda kuombewa kwa Emmanuel Ministries huko Nigeria? Kampeni za Urais zinahitaji afya nzuri, sio mzaha kuweka mgonjwa akatufia kwenye jukwaa! Kuhusu tuhuma ya rushwa toka kwa Kimaro, nina hakika Kimaro bado yupo hai, na kama ni mkweli aseme ukweli. 

Kimaro ni rafiki yangu na nilimshawishi akawekeza hoteli ya Nyumbani sasa ni JB Belmonte, Mwanza. Sijachukua fedha ili nimpatie kitalu kwavile yeye sio mwindaji na sijasikia kuwa ana hiyo biashara. Ninachofahamu ana mahoteli na ndiyo biashara yake. Rais yupo kama alishaniita kunieleza hilo anaweza akasema, ni mkweli. 

Tuhuma za mimi kuhongwa na Kimaro alizianzisha Lowassa baada ya mimi kutaka kumuondoa Mkurugenzi wanyama pori wizara ya Maliasili. Mkurugenzi huyo alikuwa na mahusiano naye na baadae walikuja kuoza watoto wao. Hilo kila mtanzania analifahamu, na alimtetea sana abaki wizarani wakati huo. Lowassa yupo kwenye mtandao wa yote yanayosemwa kuhusu wanyama pori.

Pia tuhuma za kumtapeli aliyekuwa Rais wa Zanzibar, Mhe Karume ndio nazisikia leo. Karume sijafika nyumbani kwake Zanzibar na wala hata alipokuwa Ikulu Zanzibar. Yupo na anaweza kuulizwa, ni mkweli atasema yaliyo kweli.

Huyo msichana anayesemekana nilimpa mimba, mhudumu wa Dodoma hotel, ndiyo namsikia leo, na kama yupo aniletee mtoto huyo kwani ndio nasikia kwenye watu wa Lowassa baada ya kuweweseka na machache tu tuliyoyaweka hadharani. 

Mwisho la kupewa fedha na mtuhumiwa wa IPTL nalo jipya simfahamu, labda Lowassa anamfahamu! Tatizo la huyu Lowassa, ni kupata URAIS, asipoupata sijui kama atabaki na afya ya kuridhisha. Anatuhumu watu tusiounga mkono jitihada zake tu, je wanaogombea watakuwa na hali gani mbele yake? Ushauri wa bure kwa wapambe wa Lowassa: Kuleni fedha yake maana ni halali yenu, fedha za kukwapua kwa njia zisizo halali ni haki ya kila mtu kuzitafuna, ila Urais hatopata. Kidumu CCM.

Tanzanian national Amon Rweyemamu Mtaza, 38, of Houston, has entered a guilty plea to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud and two counts of aggravated identity theft, announced U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson.



A model of the Maserati luxury sedan that cost more than Sh60 million. A similar car and a top of the range Mercedez Benz were impounded from a Tanzanian national facing jail for fraud 0in the US.


Tanzanian national Amon Rweyemamu Mtaza, 38, of Houston, has entered a guilty plea to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud and two counts of aggravated identity theft, announced U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson.

As part of the plea, Mtaza admitted he ran a stolen identity refund fraud (SIRF) scheme that targeted more than 600 people and involved the filing of hundreds of fraudulent tax returns.

Mtaza used stolen and unlawfully obtained personal identity information, including the names and Social Security numbers, of true persons to prepare fraudulent U.S. income tax returns.

The returns were electronically filed in order to generate and obtain tax refunds to which he was not entitled. Mtaza then either directed the fraudulently obtained tax refunds to be deposited onto reloadable debit cards or disbursed as U.S.

Treasury checks and he then used the monies to obtain cash and goods for his
own benefit.

The tax refund filings account for an excess of $1.8 million in losses and more than 600 victims.

U.S. District Judge Gray Miller, who accepted the plea today, has set sentencing for Jan. 9, 2015. At that time, Mtaza faces up to 20 years for the conspiracy and wire fraud charges as well as a mandatory two years for each count of aggravated identity theft which must be served consecutively to any other prison term imposed.

At the hearing today, Judge Miller also signed a preliminary order of forfeiture for 2006 Maserati and a 2007 Mercedes Benz s550 as proceeds gained from the illegal scheme.
