An Open Letter to Her Excellency Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of the United Republic of Tanzania

The rise in pump prices is often influenced by various global and economic factors. Fluctuations in international oil prices, supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical tensions, and currency exchange rates can all impact fuel prices.
Instead of solely attributing the rise in pump prices to local issues, it's also essential to acknowledge the global nature of the oil market. While holding leaders accountable is important, it's equally important to understand the complexity of the energy market and its effects on local prices.

Rather than focusing solely on complaints about the government, it could be beneficial to engage in discussions about diversifying energy sources, promoting fuel efficiency, and exploring sustainable transportation alternatives. This approach not only addresses the immediate concern of pump prices but also contributes to long-term solutions for energy stability and cost control.

While I agree with all the factors you have enumerated as contributing to the increase in the oil pump prices, there is the corruption in the issuance of licenses to import oil demanded by January Makamba and his clique that also contributes to the increase in the oil price!! This was openly stated recently by stakeholders in the industry when they convened a meeting to address challenges within their industry!

I understand your perspective, and I agree that it's important to maintain a constructive and respectful tone in discussions about leaders. Rather than singling out individuals for blame, it's more productive to focus on addressing systemic issues and working collectively towards positive change. Thank you for emphasizing the importance of this approach.

Thank you for understanding my perspective. In a country like ours it is important sometimes to be blunt as a way of sending an intended message!
