Mara nyingi watu huuliza maendeleo tunayoongelea kila siku yanaletwa na nani? serikali au jamii? Leo nimepata jawabu!… Leo nimeshuhudia jambo la kipekee Lufilyo, Mbeya… mara nyingi tunaona wabunge na wananchi wakikabidhiwa miradi na serikali si ndio? Leo nimepelekwa na Mbunge wa zamani wa Rungwe Prof. Mwandosya na familia yake, katika miradi waliojenga na kuikabidhi kwa serikali, kwa mchango wake na familia yake wakishirikiani na wananchi wa Lufilyo, ni shule, chuo na kituo cha afya, vyote vimejengewa na Wananchi na Mbunge wao kisha kukabidhiwa kwa serikali na kumaliziwa…na vyote vinaoperate! #Media4Dev #UongoziWaMfano #MaendeleoJamii #Mbeya #Tanzania

Leo nimepata fursa adimu kumtembelea Mzee wetu Prof. Mark Mwandosya (aliyewahi kuwa Waziri wa Maji na Mbunge wa Rungwe) pamoja na Mkewe mpendwa Bibi yetu Lucy. Tumezuru pia redio yao mpya mkoani Mbeya—Lusekelo FM, redio ya kwanza wilayani Busokelo…. Kwa mara ya kwanza nimeona wananchi wakimshukuru mmiliki wa redio kwa kuwafikishia taarifa karibu na kuwafungulia chombo cha habari. Ilikuwa hali ya kihisia sana… Prof. alikuwa mwalimu wa baba yangu Eng. Lawrence Mwakyambiki akiwa UDSM na rafiki mkubwa wa babu yangu Kanali Mwakyambiki, aliyekuwa Mbunge wa Rungwe na Naibu Waziri wa Ulinzi enzi za Mwalimu Nyerere wakati wa utawala wa TANU... Historia kubwa na mafunzo mengi nimejifunza leo! #Media4Dev #Busokelo #Mbeya #CommunityMedia #UongoziWaMfano

In Tanzania Traditional media reach like TV and newspapers is below 20% of the population, leaving radio with a whooping 80-76% while other communication means like internet are below 60% Is there a need for serious investment in the communication sector for the growth of our economy? Considering more 40 Million people reside in rural Tanzania. #media4dev

The printing presses revolutionized European education and literacy; radios brought current news to millions of people, while the internet is connecting the globe instantaneously today. The aforementioned have been major drivers to economic, social, and political growth of many nations, Countries with the most advanced communication systems tend to achieve the highest levels of development. #media4dev

The most developed countries achieved their status through continuous improvement in the way communication is carried out: starting with the written words in books, then newspapers, radio, and television, to present-day digital platforms in the form of social media. Each stage in advancements made in communications technology has facilitated dissemination of knowledge in a better way, access to information quicker, and public participation greater #media4dev
