Hizo hela wangepeleka kwenye miradi ni nyingi sana, kisha maadeni yalipwe, pesa hizi zinakaa sana bank, zinapotea kwa mifumuko ya bei, at an extent inaonekana watu wa chini wanakula, wakuu wa wilaya, ma rc, ila si kweli, pesa hizi zinaliwa sana na mifumuko ya bei , acha pesa zinazoliwa na hawa wakuu wao.
Na niwaambie kitu, haya madeni yanavyoongezeka hamna hela mtaani watanzania watashika.

OPEN LETTER TO MADAM PRESIDENT

Your excellency, President @SuluhuSamia, I hope this letter reaches you in good health.

I intended to share with you these wise words from Ali Mufuruki, a prominent figure from our country, who, I believe, is now observing from the afterlife with disapproval.

When you took office in 2021, the national debt was 59 trillion.

Within just three years, the national debt now stands at over 90 trillion.

It took us 60 years of independence and five presidents to accumulate a debt of 59 trillion, but you have added over 30 trillion in just three years.

Recently, you borrowed 6.5 trillion from Korea. In the 2024/25 budget, you plan to borrow another 5 trillion. Where are you taking us?

When Job Ndugai said that one day we will be auctioned off due to this borrowing habit, you stripped him of the speaker position.

Instead of devising strategies to achieve economic independence, you are striving to ensure that we continue to be captives of big nations forever and ever.

Mwalimu Nyerere stated in the Arusha Declaration, “true self-governance cannot be achieved if one nation depends on aid and loans from another nation.”

John Perkins in Economic Hitman has clearly explained to us that loans and aid are the methods used by powerful nations to create eternal slaves and expand their empires. Have you ever thought about our sovereignity?

What is referred to as “development project loans” is a web of deceit spun by powerful nations. All the money we borrow goes back to them while we remain burdened with the debt servicing forever.

What do you think the Chinese are seeking when they give you money and request that tenders be awarded to their companies?

Do you think the previous presidents were foolish to set ceilings on borrowing?

Loans are akin to drugs; once you are in, you are in deep trouble.

Today, the Ministry of Finance has set aside 13 trillion to service the national debt, equivalent to over 30% of our budget. This is a disaster, not something to celebrate.

You spend 13 trillion on servicing the national debt while key ministries like the Ministry of Education receive 1.9 trillion.

The Ministry of Agriculture, a vital sector that employs over 60% of our people, receives 1.2 trillion. How can you build a country with sort of economic theory?

We are stuck in the deep quagmire of poverty due to these loans, yet we continue to celebrate them.

Your Finance Minister, Mwigulu Nchemba, who claims to be an “economic expert” has the audacity to stand before the public and arrogantly say, “we are able to borrow, that’s why we borrow; there is no country that does not borrow.”

The minister is playing cheusi-chekundu with foreign loans albeit with demonstrably little knowledge of economic subterfuge.

In other words, we are celebrating being slaves; we are celebrating mortgaging the future of our nation and future generations.

As our very own Professor Issa Shivji has warned us over and over again, the economic sharks are merciless. Once they get you, they devour you right away; and you are increasingly driving the country from their fore teeth to their molars.

I don’t know if you like literature but I will remind you of one.

In Greek mythology, there is an infamous story of the Trojan horse.

According to the legend, after a long and grueling siege of Troy, the Greeks devised a cunning plan to gain entry into the heavily fortified city.

They built a massive wooden horse and left it as a supposed offering for the goddess Athena outside the gates of Troy.

The Greeks then pretended to sail away, leaving behind only the horse and a small group of soldiers led by Odysseus.

The Trojans, believing that the Greeks had given up and left the horse as a peace offering or a symbol of their departure, decided to bring the horse inside the city walls as a sign of victory.

Despite warnings from the Trojan priest Laocoon that the horse might be a trick, the Trojans celebrated their perceived triumph and wheeled the horse into the city as a symbol of their victory.

Under the cover of night, the Greek soldiers hidden inside the hollow belly of the wooden horse emerged and opened the gates of Troy, allowing the Greek army, which had returned under the cover of darkness, to sneak into the city.

The Greeks launched a surprise attack on the unsuspecting Trojans, who were caught off guard and ultimately defeated.

Madam President, you have opened the country gates to the Trojan loans, history will treat you accordingly.

As you enjoy honorary PhDs and red-carpet receptions, know that you are auctioning your very motherland.

We, the people, will forever protest this economic model with all our mighty. We are not for sale.

Fuming with fury.

Onesmo Mushi.

Excellent submission. When Jimmy Wanjigi of Safina Party in Kenya started the unrelenting onslaught on the authenticity of external debt balance, his political foes and friends remained silently watching the drama thinking that the onslaught was politically motivated. His tireless efforts untimately yielded fruits by the uncovering, through a forensic audit, that a large portion of the money borrowed had not been actually received by the Treasury of Kenya. However, the leaderless Gen Zs heard Jimmy Wanjigi. Here in Tanzania we are unsure as to whether the foreign loan proceeds actually hit government coffers and therefore the authenticity of the loan balances may not be confirmed. Those in treasury are our sons and sisters and we will blame them when we ultimately realise, down the line, that part of the loans had not been actually received by our treasury. It will be too late but our own Gen Zs plus their parents will be ready for whoever participates in our demise.

Good advice. But I am afraid your advisory message won't be fully understood due to language barrier. Everyone knows that the boss's head carries idiocy which is capsulated with presidency.

BARUA YA WAZI KWA MADAM RAIS

Mheshimiwa Rais @SuluhuSamia, natumai barua hii ikufikie ukiwa mzima wa afya.

Nilikusudia kushiriki nanyi maneno haya ya busara kutoka kwa Ali Mufuruki, mtu mashuhuri kutoka nchi yetu, ambaye, naamini, sasa anamtazama kutoka ahera kwa kutokubali.

ulipoingia madarakani 2021, deni la taifa lilikuwa trilioni 59.

Ndani ya miaka mitatu tu, deni la taifa sasa linafikia zaidi ya trilioni 90.

Ilituchukua miaka 60 ya uhuru na marais watano kulimbikiza deni la trilioni 59, lakini umeongeza zaidi ya trilioni 30 ndani ya miaka mitatu tu.

hivi karibuni, ulikopa trilioni 6.5 kutoka Korea. Katika bajeti ya 2024/25, unapanga kukopa trilioni 5 nyingine. Unatupeleka wapi?

Job Ndugai aliposema ipo siku tutapigwa mnada kutokana na tabia hii ya kukopa ulimvua nafasi ya uspika.

badala ya kupanga mikakati ya kupata uhuru wa kiuchumi, unajitahidi kuhakikisha tunaendelea kuwa mateka wa mataifa makubwa milele na milele.

Mwalimu Nyerere alisema katika Azimio la Arusha, "utawala wa kweli hauwezi kupatikana ikiwa taifa moja linategemea misaada na mikopo kutoka kwa taifa lingine."

john Perkins katika Economic Hitman ametueleza waziwazi kwamba mikopo na misaada ni mbinu zinazotumiwa na mataifa yenye nguvu kuunda watumwa wa milele na kupanua himaya zao. Umewahi kufikiria juu ya uhuru wetu?

kile kinachorejelewa kama "mikopo ya mradi wa maendeleo" ni mtandao wa udanganyifu unaorushwa na mataifa yenye nguvu. Pesa zote tunazokopa zinarudi kwao huku tukibaki na mzigo wa deni la kudumu milele.

unadhani wachina wanatafuta nini wanapokupa pesa na kuomba zabuni zipewe makampuni yao?

Unadhani marais waliopita walikuwa wapumbavu kuweka viwango vya kukopa?

Mikopo ni sawa na madawa ya kulevya; ukiwa ndani, uko kwenye matatizo makubwa.

leo, Wizara ya Fedha imetenga trilioni 13 kuhudumia deni la Taifa, sawa na zaidi ya asilimia 30 ya bajeti yetu. Hili ni janga, si jambo la kusherehekea.

unatumia trilioni 13 kulipia deni la taifa huku wizara muhimu kama Wizara ya Elimu ikipata trilioni 1.9.

Wizara ya Kilimo, sekta muhimu ambayo inaajiri zaidi ya asilimia 60 ya watu wetu, inapokea trilioni 1.2. Unawezaje kujenga nchi kwa aina ya nadharia ya kiuchumi?

tumekwama kwenye lindi kubwa la umaskini kutokana na mikopo hii, bado tunaendelea kuishangilia.

.Waziri wako wa Fedha, Mwigulu Nchemba, anayejiita “mtaalamu wa uchumi” ana jeuri ya kusimama mbele ya umma na kusema kwa jeuri, “tuna uwezo wa kukopa, ndiyo maana tunakopa; hakuna nchi isiyokopa.”

waziri anacheza cheusi-chekundu na mikopo ya nje japo kwa uelewa mdogo wa hila za kiuchumi.

Kwa maneno mengine, tunasherehekea kuwa watumwa; tunasherehekea kuweka rehani mustakabali wa taifa letu na vizazi vijavyo.

kwani Profesa wetu Issa Shivji ametuonya mara kwa mara, papa wa uchumi hawana huruma. Wakishakupata, wanakula mara moja; na unazidi kuendesha nchi kutoka kwa meno yao ya mbele hadi molars zao.

sijui kama unapenda fasihi lakini nitakukumbusha moja.

Katika mythology ya Kigiriki, kuna hadithi mbaya ya farasi wa Trojan.

Kwa mujibu wa hadithi, baada ya kuzingirwa kwa muda mrefu na ngumu kwa Troy, Wagiriki walipanga mpango wa hila wa kuingia katika jiji lenye ngome nyingi.

walijenga farasi mkubwa wa mbao na kumwacha awe toleo linalodhaniwa kuwa kwa ajili ya mungu mke Athena nje ya malango ya Troy.

Kisha Wagiriki walijifanya kuondoka kwa meli, wakiacha tu farasi na kikundi kidogo cha askari wakiongozwa na Odysseus.

Trojans, wakiamini kwamba Wagiriki walikuwa wamekata tamaa na kumwacha farasi kama sadaka ya amani au ishara ya kuondoka kwao, waliamua kuleta farasi ndani ya kuta za jiji kama ishara ya ushindi.

licha ya maonyo kutoka kwa kasisi wa Trojan Laocoon kwamba farasi inaweza kuwa hila, Trojans walisherehekea ushindi wao waliofikiriwa na kusukuma farasi ndani ya jiji kama ishara ya ushindi wao.

chini ya kifuniko cha usiku, askari wa Kigiriki waliofichwa ndani ya tumbo la farasi wa mbao walitoka na kufungua milango ya Troy, na kuruhusu jeshi la Wagiriki, ambalo lilikuwa limerudi chini ya giza, kuingia ndani ya jiji.

Wagiriki walianzisha mashambulizi ya kushtukiza kwa Trojans wasiokuwa na wasiwasi, ambao walikamatwa na hatimaye kushindwa.

Mheshimiwa Rais, umefungua milango ya nchi kwa mikopo ya Trojan, historia itakutendea ipasavyo.

unapofurahia PhD za heshima na mapokezi ya zulia jekundu, ujue unapiga mnada nchi yako mama.

Sisi, watu, tutapinga milele mtindo huu wa kiuchumi kwa nguvu zetu zote. Hatuuzwi.

Kukasirika kwa hasira.

Onesmo Mushi.
