The Chato District Fire Commander, Song Ramadhan, has confirmed a recent incident involving a fire that occurred during a Chadema event. On the night of August 2, 2023, at 7:40 p.m., the fire department received a report concerning a car fire. Commander Ramadhan stated that they swiftly arrived at the scene and successfully extinguished the fire.
Following the incident, Chadema Kanda Ya Ziwa expressed condemnation over the incident and the consequent damage to music equipment. However, the party remains determined and has affirmed that the incident will not deter the meetings scheduled for August 2, 2023. The Vice Chairman of the party in mainland Tanzania, Tundu Lisu, will continue with his planned agenda, as assured by the party spokesperson.
Zakaria Obad, Secretary of Chadema in the region, explained over the phone that the car carrying the music equipment was set ablaze while parked at a hotel in Chato. Additionally, Kamgisha Gervas, the Joint Secretary of Chadema Mganza Ward, reported an attack on their team by a group of young individuals. During the midnight preparations for the stage, the attackers burned the drums and music equipment, and eventually, they absconded with a microphone and a computer.
Gervas described the distressing scene, recounting how the attackers initiated violent actions, leading people to flee for their safety. The assailants proceeded to set fire to the music equipment and even managed to take the computer with the songs and microphone to the stage. Fortunately, the situation was eventually brought under control.
One such individual is the popular musician KRG The Don, whose recent display of money has ignited a storm of mixed reactions among Kenyans. While some admire his success, others are quick to label him as a beneficiary of illicit sources of income. Amidst the controversy, renowned social commentator Robert Alai takes a critical stance, claiming that KRG The Don is merely a "broke fool" supported by a former Member of Parliament.
This incident occurred several hours after the UVCCM Chato Executive Committee, led by union secretary Pamphl James, issued a statement to the media. The statement called for Tundu Lisu to apologize for what they deemed outrageous and disrespectful remarks about the late John Magufuli.
The occurrence of this fire incident during the Chadema event in Chato has raised concerns about safety and the need for adequate security measures. Investigations into the incident are underway to determine the motives behind the attack and bring those responsible to justice.
Despite this setback, Chadema remains steadfast and resolute in its commitment to address the concerns and aspirations of its members and supporters. The party expresses optimism that such incidents will not prevent them from continuing their scheduled activities.
In conclusion, the fire incident at the Chadema event in Chato has caused damage to music equipment and raised questions about the safety of political events. Chadema, undeterred by the incident, vows to continue with their activities as planned while urging for a thorough investigation into the incident.
