HOTUBA

YA

BI ROSE REUBEN - MKURUGENZI MTENDAJI (TAMWA)

KWENYE

KONGAMANO LA USALAMA BARABARANI

MADA: USALAMA BARABARANI KWA AFYA NA MAENDELEO YA UCHUMI

UKUMBI: UKUMBI WA BUNGE PIUS MSEKWA- DODOMA

TAREHE: 23 MEI 2020

Kipengele cha 1: Mtandao wa asasi za kiraia/zisizokuwa za kiserikali zinazoshawishi maboresho ya sheria ya usalama barabarani.

"Mtandao wa Usalama Barabarani Tanzania ni nini?. Kitu gani mtandao umefanya kuhusiana na Usalama barabarani?. Dhumuni kuu ni nini?"

I.Utangulizi

Ndugu Mgeni Rasmi, Waheshimiwa Wabunge, wawakilishi kutoka Wizara ya Mambo ya Ndani Ya Nchi, wawakilishi kutoka Wizara ya Afya, Maendeleo ya Jamii, Jinsia, Wazee na watoto, Viongozi wa Serikali, Wawakilishi Asasi za Kiraia zinazoshawishi Maboresho ya Sheria ya Usalama Barabarani, Washirika wa Maendeleo, Wanahabari na Vyombo vya habari mliopo, Waathirika wa ajali za barabarani, Wageni waalikwa Mabibi na Mabwana,

Naomba nianze kwa kutoa historia fupi ya mtandao huu wa asasi za kiraia unaoshawishi maboresho ya sheria ya usalama barabarani ikiwa ni pamoja na kazi na mafanikio yake;

II.Shirikisho la Usalama BarabaraniTanzania

Mabibi na Mabwana,

Shirikisho la Usalama Barabarani Tanzania (CSO's) lilizinduliwa mnamo Mei 2016, na wanachama sita tu chini ya uratibu wa Chama cha Wanasheria Wanawake Tanzania (TAWLA), lakini umeongezeka hadi leo hadi wanachama wapatao kumi na tano ambao ni pmaoja na Chama cha Wanasheria Wanawake Tanzania (TAWLA), Chama cha Wanasheria Tanganyika (TLS), Chama cha Wanahabari Wanawake Tanzania (TAMWA), Mabalozi wa Usalama Barabarani (RSA), Amend Tanzania, Shirikisho la Vyama vya Watu wenye ulemavu Tanzania (SHIVYAWATA), Chama cha Wamiliki wa Mabasi Tanzania (TABOA), Taasisi ya Taifa ya Usafirishaji (NIT), Tanzania Media Foundation (TMF), Safe Speed Foundation, Women Legal Aid Centre (WLAC), WILDAF, Mwanza Youth and Children Network (MYCN), Media Space Tanzania, pamoja na watu binafsi wenye utaalamu na mapenzi na usalama barabarani.

Wajumbe wa umoja huo wamekuwa wakifanya kazi na Serikali (haswa Wizara ya Mambo ya Ndani ya Nchi, Wizara ya Afya Maendeleo ya Jamii, Jinsia, Wazee na Watoto, Wizara ya Uchukuzi na idara / mashirika chini ya wizara hizi), Shirika la Afya Duniani (WHO), Wabunge na watendaji wengine kuunga mkono utekelezaji wa mapendekezo ya Tume ya Mabadiliko ya Sheria, haswa juu ya mabadiliko ya sera kwa marekebisho kamili ya Sheria ya Sheria ya Usalama Barabarani (RTA). Sekretarieti ya Ushirikiano kwa sasa upo chini ya usimamizi wa TAWLA.

III.Kazi ya mtandao kuhusiana na usalamabarabarani

Mtandao huu ulianzishwa kwa malengo kadhaa ikiwa ni pamoja na kuwa na sauti ya pamoja katika kuendesha kampeni ya kushawishi maboresho ya sheria ya usalama barabarani pamoja na kuongeza uelewa kwa umma juu ya masuala mbalimbali ya usalama barabarani.
vilevile mtandao huu uliundwa kwa lengo la kuwa kama kiungo kati ya watumiaji wa barabara pamoja ba viongozi wa serikali/watunga sera ili kushawishi kuwepo kwa mfuno wa kisheria na kisera unaoendana na viwango vya kimataifa.

Mtandao umerekodi mafanikio kadhaa ikiwa ni pamoja na kuongeza uelewa kwa watumiaji wa barabara juu ya ukubwa wa tatizo hasa kwenye viashiria vitano vinavyochangia ongezeko ajali.

Mtandao umefanya kazi kwa karibu na kamati mbalimbali za bunge, hii ilipelekea wao kushawishika na kuamua kuanzisha mtanao wa kibunge unaojihusisha na masuala ya usalama barabarani ambao una takribani ya wabunge 120.

IV.Masuala ambayo Mtandao unayafanyiauchechemuzi;

Mtandao unafanya uchechemuzi juu ya mfumo bora wa kisheria juu ya usalama barabarani ili kuhakikisha kuwa ajali za barabarani zinapungua, ikiwa ni pamoja na majeraha yatokanayo na ajali za barabarani pamoja na vifo. Pia shirikisho linatetea na kupigania uwepo wa Sheria ya Usalama Barabarani (RTA) ya mwaka 1973. Kuna mapungufu ambayo yalitambuliwa katika Sheria ya Usalama Barabarani (RTA) na kwamba ikiwa yataboreshwa, ajali za barabarani zitapungua, idadi ya majerahi na vifo vitokanavyo na ajali za barabarani zitapungua.

Mapungufu yaliyotambuliwa yanahusiana na visababishi vitano hatarishi ambavyo ni; Mwendo kasi, Matumizi ya vilevi wakati wa kuendesha chombo cha moto, Kutotumia kofia ngumu (helmet) kwa abiria na dereva wa pikipiki, Kutokufunga mikanda wakati wa safari, na kutotumia vizuizi vya watoto.

1. Kwenye upande wa Mwendokasi – Mtandao unashawishi uendeshaji wa vyombo vya moto kwa spidi ya kilomita 50 kwa saa katika maeneo ya mijini na makazi, na kilomita 30 kwa saa mahali ambapo kuna alama za watembea kwa miguu na wanyama, Utafiti umeonyesha kuwa hatari ya kufa ni chini ya asilimia 20 wakati gari liko chini ya kasi ya kilomita 50 kwa saa na asilimia 60 wakati gari liko kwenye kasi ya kilomita 80 kwa saa. Inakadiriwa kuwa kupunguzwa kwa asilimia 5 kwa mwendokasi, kunapunguza asilimia 30 ya ajali mbaya ambazo zinazowezakutokea.

1. Kwenye upande wa kuendesha chombo cha moto ukiwa umelewa – Mtandao unashawishi kupunguzwa kwa kiwango cha kilevi kutoka kwa miligramu 80 kwa kila mililita 100 za damu (0.08g / dl) hadi miligramu 50 kwa kila mililita 100 za damu (0.05g / dl) kwa angalau dereva mwenye uzoefu, na kutofautisha kati ya dereva mwenye uzoefu na asiye na uzoefu ambaye kiwango cha pombe cha damu kinapaswa kisizidi miligramu 20 kwa kila mililita 100 za damu (0.02g / dl.) Lazima kuwe na utekelezaji mzuri wa sheria inayohusiana na kunywa hadi kupitiliza mipaka iliyowekwa. Inakadiriwa kuwa asilimia 5 ya vifo vyote vya barabarani vilivyoripotiwa ulimwenguni kote vinahusiana na ulevi (Ripoti ya hali halisi ya Shirika la Afya Ulimwenguni ya 2018). Sheria yetu inaruhusu hadi kiwango cha pombe cha miligramu 80 kwa kila mililita 100 za damu (08g / dl.) Kuwa ndiyo Kiwango cha juu cha pombe kinachohitajika. Hatari ya ajali huongezeka mara tatu kwa madereva ambao hutumiavilevi.

1. Kwenye matumizi ya kofia ngumu (helmet) – Mtandao unashawishi utumiaji wa lazima wa kofia ngumu kwa wote yaani, dereva na abiria kwa kwa sasa shiria inamtaja dereva pekee. Inakadiriwa kuwa asilimia 22 ya vifo vya ajali za barabarani uimwenguni kote vinatokana na pikipiki na bajaji. Imeelezwa kuwa majeraha mabaya yanajumuisha wapanda pikipiki ni yaleyaliyohusisha kichwa na shingo. Matumizi sahihi ya kofia ngumu yanaweza kusaidia kuzuia majeraha haya kwa asilimia 42 na kupunguzwa kwa asilimia 69 ya jeraha la kichwa (Ripoti ya hali halisi ya Shirika la Afya Ulimwenguni ya 2018).

1. Kwa upande wa matumizi ya mikanda – Mtandao unashawishi uwepo wa vifungu vinavyohitaji abiria wote wa gari kufunga mikanda ya kiti katika gari bila kujali wamekaa kiti cha mbele au nyuma. Takwimu zinaonyesha kuwa kufunga mkanda kunapunguza hatari ya ajali kwa abiria wa kiti cha mbele kwa asilimia 45-50 katika tukio la ajali. Vivyo hivyo, hatari ya majeraha madogo na makubwa hupunguzwa kwa asilimia 25 na 45 kwa abiria wa viti vya nyuma. Kiwango cha kimataifa kinachokubalika kinahitaji matumizi ya mikanda ya kiti kwa viti vya mbele na nyuma. Sheria yetu inahitajikiti cha abiria wa mbele tu kufungaMkanda.

70. Kwa upande wa kuwakinga watoto - Mtandao unapigania uwepo wa sheria ambayo itaweka matumizi ya lazima ya vifaa vya kukinga watoto (Vizuizi vya watoto). Ushahidi unaonyesha kwamba wakati watoto wameketi katika viti vyao vyenye vizuizi, kulingana na uzito na saizi ya mwili wao, hatari ya majeraha na kifo hupunguzwa kwa karibu asilimia 70. Viwango vya kimataifa vinahitaji kuwa watoto wa umri wa miaka chini ya 7 wanapaswa kutumia vizuiziili kuzuia majeraha na vifo ikiwa ajali itatokea. Hakuna toleo juu ya vizuizi vya watoto katika Sheria ya Usalama Barabarani sura ya 168.

Kwa mara nyingine ninawashukuru na kuwapongeza wote ambao wamefanikisha tukio hili. Ni matumaini yangu kuwa maazimio yote tutakayoafikiana hapa katika kongamano hili, yatafanyiwa kazi na kuja na njia ambazo ni bora na sahihi zaidi katika kupunguza ajali za barabarani .

USALAMA BARABARANI NI JUKUMU LETU SOTE.!

“Ahsanteni sana kwa kunisikiliza”
