"I asked to give me one week to think"

IT WAS Wednesday June 2006 I received a cell phone from Managing Editor (ME) of TSN, Isack Mruma.

After receiving the phone as the newsroom of the newspaper of the summer, as News Editor, Mruma told me that he had an important conversation with me, so he asked me to see him in his office, Samora Avenue.

I remember I said that day that I could see, so I asked to see him on Friday at four in the morning. Later that same day, I knocked on TSN, I found KatibuMutahasi and tell him I want to meet MhaririMtendaji; I remember that his Mutahasi Secretary paused and asked; you mihadinaye? I beg him umwambieTitus there yet?

He said Secretary Mutahasi so you are Titus hee, I read in the newspaper of the summer? Nikaitikia I am a mother. After a few minutes so he took me in the office for ME.

At that time I did not know what it hard to support, I was surprised to find he is a Deputy Managing Editor (DME), Great Ally.

Together they took me in, near TSN sir, I said asente, when I know it's been close to Aida, whom they were meant to work closely TSN. Thereafter, Mruma asked me did you ever hear the government wants to introduce the Gazette in Swahili?

I said, I remember only happen parliamentary declarations and many times I heard that the government establishes the Gazette, but I do not think would be possible. Having these answers both laughed a little, Mkumbwa asked me again to be curious, why do you think it is impossible?

I replied as the Government was committed; then would introduce in the 1990s when there was a huge market for newspapers as they were a few, but today in 2006 the competition is so great I do not think will be successful.

After finishing the only answer, Mruma said niluiza again, do you say we start Titus newspaper fails? I said I will not fail, but it would enable use too much power to deliver it to the market for daily newspapers is currently a lot, but if ye believe me then I will fight.

Thereafter I remember we discussed a lot of things, whereas membrane was simplicity with me unawares. After two hours of discussion; then, last of all, Mruma said to me,

"Titus we believe we've done to call you to make this conversation, but it is simply that we wanted to start a magazine Kishwahili Government, which will be a sister newspaper the Daily News.Wewe as News Editor."

I remember I was obliged to say "This is a very surprise move" (This is something I did not expect), allow me to give me one week nijifikirie as I can, and after that time we communicate.

I rose. After leaving had to struggle with, including the private sector have raised in my writing news eight years (this time), I can state Do? But these responses came one idea; Nipopote life, your work performance that will make uishipopote. After one week, Mruma was not tired, he called me what you fikiwapi?

I replied, I think too much, all katikaWatanzania journalists, and are older than me, I have decided to take me back without even simplicity. I am committed suicide I come. I remember Mruma enjoyed much longer than even I guess what I did not know until today, because I was afraid of this life in the state kinigomea what will happen?

Then in August first, 2006, I joined TSN, for the preparation of a new magazine. When I found Casian Malima (God lay the Eternal Peace) who had been evacuated from the Daily News to become Editor in Chief, I am required to News Editor.

I sat for a moment, then came Nicodemus Ikonko who was editor of the article (now Acting Chief Editor) and also we had as Hamisi Athuman, who was head photographer.

After a group of these four men completed, we began the task of choosing the name of the newspaper, there were many names, but the end of it all we agreed to guide Mruma and Mkumbwa be be called Daily News is be the name of the newspaper where I later discovered devoted Kiswahili Daily News .

That was in September 2006 and selection of names was consistent with the structure of the newspaper itself (lay out).

After that we started around the country to find the journalists who would write the story of this new magazine from the hinterland, myself and Athuman Hamis, Casian Malima (deceased) would have Ikonko Nicodemus.

I have Hamis we started regions of Morogoro, Iringa, Mbeya, Dodoma, Singida, Tabora, Kigoma, Mwanza, Mara, Shinyanga and Kagera, while others headed North and East Zones. The end of the trip we got too many journalists still others who wrote Daily News. His simplicity was not even outlying kuchezecheza, who passed had pitaka indeed.

After finishing the simplicity of the hinterland, 'kimbembe' was the simplicity of Dar es Salaam, here are there many clever, then to remember the simplicity that was conducted in English language, and fluent and who was threatened in the simplicity that was Nicodemus Ikonko as it had looked as though that is not a shred of U-Afrika in asking tough questions, so every author who appeared on the panel with the note was confused and simplicity that was very delicate.

We did it To secure the best writers us better writers. After the survey which was conducted for seven days so we have so many young people who, many still serving newspaper Daily News, but work became we have Chief Editor, News Editor, Editor of Features and photographers Great, 'dance' became the Editor of the Games, we find him in the simplicity.

I remember we stayed session with Editor in Chief, we listed several names of the authors of Sports, after being appropriate for us Across desperately must seek Mgaya Kingoba.

I remember I was given the responsibility to ensure Kingoba Chief Editor enters Daily News. After that, I called Kingoba whom I was familiar with him, I lifted up my phone I called Kingoba kinganyani is asking unite him with us at the Gazette establish where the statement he gave me Kingoba was disappointing to say:

"Brother, let us not love playing with the life you took me here (Tanzanian newspaper) I'm not sure what to your magazine?" I went under my brother we never had friends that we joke, but your performance is gives us the motivation of wanting to join us, and later joined the Daily News as Editor Sports and News Editor now.

Tulipokamilisha ranks of the newsroom, the task was to make the magazine come out and information which is opposite to, especially given that was to be launched by President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, December 21, 2008 in Dodoma.

Information desk had the difficult task of selecting the information that would be different from the information brought by other newspapers.

After that, we came up with the idea that Muhimbili National Hospital here in ilikuwainafanya science that has not been out, to produce children through the bottle. I remember he was stationed Magnus Mahenge; who carried out his work with great artistry and finally came to the Baria interpreted 'were deprived:

"Allied to produce children of the bottle," and it was a story that actually entered the street Dsesmba 21 2006 otherwise, and so the government fulfilled introduce Kiswahili newspaper every day until today.
