The way things are going on in this part of the world, the horror of the dictatorial regime, we the people of Tanzania have no choice except to vote out president Magufuli in the forthcoming elections in october this year.
President Magufuli has squandered a good opportunity to build a nation rooted in the values of democracy, human rights and adherence to rule of law unlike his predecessors who themselves were not angels but played constructive roles in building up our democracy to respectable levels in Africa and the world at large.
In this regime, there has been gross human rights violations, people incarcerated with sham dubious charges and some charged to pay exorbitant sum of money to buy their freedoms on what is vividly clear, an extortion mafia like schemes.
Even people who dissapeared, whose wherebouts are up to this moment unknown, there isn't any enthusiasim from the regime to investigate their dissappearance. This leaves behind a lot of unanswered questions.
Meanwhile the economy is only growing on papers while in the streets life is extremely tough. The government is not employing in large scales compared to the former government. A lot of young people are in the streets, hopeless, stranded seeking jobs to a no avail. Life is continously becoming unbearable.
At the same time the external debt is skyrocketing, a lot of money is being borrowed to service these mega projects which some are typically white elephant. Some Projects such as building airport in Chato, a birth place of president Magufuli, an airport which by all standards is not a priority are of little value economically and consumes a lot of money.
Also the public service is not in good shape as this government hasn't paid attention whatsoever to the public servant. Since president Magufuli came into office, Public servants have their legally entitled benefits trumped on by this government. While in the former government there was an annual salary increments and normal year to year promotions. This is hurting workers today and it will hurt them when they retire.
That is when we rightly asses that this election is a do or die election. In this election there is nobody who is well prepared, who can defeat president Magufuli and who can clean up tje mess created by this regime than the renowned diplomat and a former spy Bernard Cammilius Membe.
Membe has served this nation with high Integrity, he is a proponent of rule of law and respect for the constitution and abbhors politics of "terror".
The first thing Membe has to do when he is sworn into office is to bring a national reconciliation process, healing wounds caused by president Magufuli's "hurt all that oppose me" politics.
Membe shall work on the issue of the economy, solve the unemployment problem, create a functioning economy that will put our youth to work!
Also Bernard Membe will bring back the new constitution process on track as we have witnessed in these five years how bad our 1977 constitution is!. With this constitution, it is more like we have put all our eggs in. one basket. There is too much power in the hands of one person, this is absolutely dangerous as if he skrews things he can skrew them to the detriment of the whole nation and he can't be held accountable as this constitution still protects him from being sued.
With Membe at the helm, our diplomacy will once again be a shining example in Africa. And he will be able to impement his vision of economic diplomacy which he instituted when he was a foreign minister in the former government.
So stakes are too high, we certainly can't afford five more years of the massive propaganda propelled regime. We need a man in the office who will do a job rightly, justly and with high level of Integrity.
Membe is a right man for the Job
2020 Membe for president
2020 Twende na Membe
