Zanzibar national environmental policy was formulated in 1992. In a normal situation it was supposed to be reviewed after 10 years that is 2002. This was not done. After four years delay  the process to review the policy  started in 2006/7 and Iwas part to it. Since then it has been silent and nothing has been hard from the authority concerned. Is authority concerned with protection and conservation of our environment serious about the issue. If yes why such a long delay? My fellow zanzibaris let us come out and discuss this openly because it a question of our life and the life of next generation of zanzibaris.

Zanzibar sera ya taifa ya mazingira mara yaliyoandaliwa katika 1992. Katika hali ya kawaida ilitakiwa upya baada ya miaka 10 kwamba ni 2,002. Hii si kufanyika. Baada ya miaka minne kuchelewesha mchakato wa mapitio ya sera ya kuanza mwaka 2006 / 7 na Iwas sehemu hiyo. Tangu wakati huo imekuwa kimya na hakuna imekuwa ngumu kutokana na mamlaka husika. Ni mamlaka ya wasiwasi na ulinzi na uhifadhi wa mazingira yetu kubwa kuhusu suala hilo. Kama ndiyo kwa nini kuchelewa vile muda mrefu? Wazanzibari Wenzangu hebu kuja nje na kujadili kwa uwazi kwa sababu ni suala la maisha yetu na maisha ya kizazi kijacho ya Wazanzibari.
