Baada ya WaKenya Kuongoza kwa Uzamiaji UINGEREZA, Sasa Kimeumana..!
Uingereza imongeza masharti makali kwa waKenya wanaotaka kwenda kutembea nchini Uingereza. Sheria hizi mpya zitaanza kufanya kazi kwanzia November.
Kwanzia November waKenya watakao pata visa ya kwenda kuitembelea uingereza wataitajika waweke rehani kiasi cha pound £3,000 (KSh400,000) ambayo watarudishiwa endapo watarudi nchini kwao pale visa zao zitakapokuwa zime exipire.
The plan, part of a wider scheme by the British Government to rein in illegal immigration, is set for piloting in November.
Ukiachana na waKenya nchi nyingine ambazo zipo kwenye black book ni Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, according to the Financial Times of London.
This is The Other Meaning of Bongoland
A UK Independence Party MEP has been criticised for using the term Bongo Bongo Land. But to some people in Tanzania the term has an innocuous meaning, writes Clare Spencer. MEP Godfrey Bloom has been recorded in footage obtained by the Guardian saying:
"How we can possibly be giving £1bn a month, when we're in this sort of debt, to Bongo Bongo Land is completely beyond me."
Bloom told the BBC Bongo Bongo Land was "a figment of people's imagination. It's like Ruritania or the Third World".
That didn't cut it with Laura Pidcock, from campaign group Show Racism the Red Card. She said that "these crude stereotypes that see Britain as a civilised place and overseas as tribal" were "incredibly damaging". UKIP have also asked him not to use the phrase again, warning that people abroad might find it "disparaging".
This may all be news to people from Tanzania where the shorter word Bongoland means the polar opposite to uncivilised. Instead it means a place where people have to be savvy and have their wits about them.
That place is the large city Dar es Salaam. It comes from an amalgamation of the Kiswahili word Ubongo - meaning brain - and the English word land.
BBC Swahili reporter Aboubakar Famau explains. "Dar es Salaam is a place where people have to use their brain. You could be a conman or just a businessman but they have to work out how to make money."
It's a relatively new term - Famau estimates it at about 15 years old. His dad wouldn't use it and, he muses, it's probably only known by people under 35-years-old. But it is widespread enough to be the title of a 2003 film about a Tanzanian moving to the US, and its sequel, Bongoland II.
What's more, using the term may get you kudos - not criticism - in Tanzania. "Young people think they sound sophisticated when they use the term," Famau says.
That explanation might have helped Bloom avoid controversy. By Magazine Monitor

Two British Women In Acid Attack -Zanzibar
Two British charity workers have been attacked with acid in the east African island of Zanzibar, police have confirmed.
Katie Gee and Kirstie Trup, were walking through the streets of Stone Town late in the evening when two men on a moped approached them.
A corrosive substance was then thrown at the 18-year-olds, according to Sky News.
The acid splashed their faces, chests and hands and they had to be taken to a hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, for emergency treatment.
The two teenagers had been there as part of a four week trip with volunteering organisation i-to-i. They were due to return to the UK on Saturday.
Both girls have now been discharged from hospital. A statement from the organisation said: “The motive for the attack is as yet not known and we will await the report from the local authorities in Zanzibar before any comment can be made.
“The female clients had been volunteer teachers on Zanzibar and were in the final week of their trip.
“The safety of our customers is of paramount importance to us and our own investigation will be launched as soon as it is possible to do so.”
A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said: “We are aware of an incident and are providing consular assistance.”She added that officials became aware of the incident last night.
Deputy police commissioner Mkadam Khamis told Sky News: “Police in Zanzibar have launched a manhunt, and we ask for public assistance in identifying the attackers.”
Zanzibar, located 22 miles off the coast of Tanzania, is an archipelago of islands in the Indian Ocean.
