Tanzania opposition slams 'state of denial' over coronavirus

Tanzania's main opposition leader on Wednesday accused the government of hiding information on the coronavirus and failing to take the pandemic seriously.

Tanzania is one of few countries in Africa that has not taken extensive measures against the virus, and President John Magufuli is among a handful of world leaders still playing down the seriousness of the disease.

"Our cases are shooting up at an alarming rate while many countries are now flattening the curve," said Freeman Mbowe, of the opposition Chadema party, in a speech broadcast online.

Tanzania recorded its first case of coronavirus on March 16 -- and in a little over two weeks cases have leapt from 32 to 480 with 16 deaths.

While relatively small on a global scale, the growth is among the highest in East Africa, where most countries have implemented lockdowns, curfews, and strict social distanncing measures.

In Tanzania, schools and universities have been shut but markets, bus stops and shops bustle as usual. Opposition members have also criticised the government for waiting a week to announce new cases, after Magufuli on April 22 said the ministry of health was "causing panic".

"I have information that there are many people who recovered but these are not given priority in announcing. I see they are competing to announce new cases and deaths which are causing panic," the president said.

Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa provided an update Wednesday amid mounting pressure to do so. Mbowe questioned the veracity of the numbers released. "We see people dying and their burials are supervised by the government under strict conditions but yet it is not telling us they died of coronavirus. There is no transparency and when people have no information, you provide room for rumours. The government is telling us only 16 died of coronavirus but this is a joke," he said.

Mbowe said that Magufuli, who has been staying in his home town of Chato in northwestern Tanzania since March 28, was in a "state of denial". Magufuli has claimed God would protect Tanzanians from the virus, and has urged people to keep working as usual.

"This is time to build our faith and continue praying to God and not depending on facemasks. Don't stop going to churches and mosques for prayers. I'm sure this is just a change of wind and it will go like others have gone," Magufuli said at a church in Dodoma last month.

Magufuli came to power as a corruption-fighting "man of the people" but has since been criticised for his authoritarian leadership style, with rights groups citing a crackdown on the media and critics during his rule. He is due to run for a second term in polls due in October.

Still bado umekomaa na mbowe sana. Are you on his political side or on his fact side?
As i said.. mm sio mshabiki wa siasa za aina yoyote ile.
What i said is lockdown imeonyesha matokeo chanya kwa nchi zilizo ruhusu.
Sisem kwetu inawezekana.. maybe.. kwa wenzetu imewezekana sababu ya uwezo walio nao ambao sisi hatuna uwezo huo.
Partial strict rules ndio itasaidia kwa sasa.

Kuna watu wanapotosha kwa makusudi ukweli kwenye hili la covid 19 na kudhoofisha elimu na kinga ambazo zingepaswa kuchukuliwa. Ni wahaini. Ni wazembe. Ni waovu na wasiojali utu wa binadamu. Hawana upendo.

Wao wanaagalia hela na uchumi tu, na wanataka Watanzania wengi waambukizwe na kufa.
Tumegundua hila na njama zao. Tuwapinge kwa nguvu zetu zote!!
 
Lock down haijazuiliwa... jiwekee mwenyewe na familia yako..

Serikali haimzuii mtu kujifungia nyumbani kwake..

Usitake kulazimisha unachotaka wewe wote wafanyiwe katika nchi huru..

Jifungie mwenyewe kama unataka lock down

Frame na kodi anakuja kulipa mjomba ako?
 
Mkuu heradius12, moja ya hoja yenye mashiko kwenye bandiko kuu ni kuhusu Mh Mbowe Kama kiongozi hakutakiwa kulazimisha serekali ifanye Lock down kwani hii ni njia moja hatari Sana kwa raia maskini Kwani hata ukisema wapewe pesa hujui janga litaisha Lini na serikali itatoa pesa mpaka Lini? Na vipi baada ya Corona watanzania wataishije au mfano wewe ukiwa umesha chukua nchi utaiongoza vip bila pesa? Si ndio itakuwa hospitali madawa hakuna. Miundombinu kuwa mibovu. Njaa kibao watu kukosa mishahara Yao na matatizo mengine. Anongeza kuuliza Au unataka Hali iweje?

Ukweli ni kwamba mawazo/hoja zote za Mbowe ni za mfa maji. Viongozi wa kutegemewa CHADEMA wanakihama chama. Yeye kama mwanasiasa ameshindwa na ananguka kisiasa. Hivyo, anaamini kuwa Serikali ikiamua kukubali mapendekezo yake nchi itaingia kwenye machafuko. Ushahidi ni nchi zilizotumia mbinu ya "lockdown" makampuni yake ya kibiashara yanapunguza wafanyakazi hadi 50%, jambo ambalo litachochea mwongezeko wa umaskini nchini na kusababisha vurugu.

Na hata kama machafuko yasipotokea, bado Serikali iliyoko madarakani itashindwa kujiendesha baada ya kuwa imetumia akiba ya kitaifa, kwa jinsi anavyoshauri. Upo ushahidi wa kutosha na ulio wazi kuwa hoja ya Mbowe na viongozi wenzake CHADEMA umegubikwa na wivu na chuki wanapoona mabadiliko ya kiuchumi chini ya uongozi wa Rais Magufuli. Kutetereka au kusimama kwa miradi mikubwa ya maendeleo kwake anaamini itakuwa keti ya kuuangusha utawala.

Hivyo basi, mawazo ya Mbowe yamejaa ubinafsi na chuki. Ushahidi ni jinsi anavyowatumia viongozi wenzake kama mtaji wake wa kujitajirisha. Wabunge wamelazimishwa kuchangia mamililoni kila mwezi kwa kile kinachoitwa kuimarisha chama wakati matumizi ya ruzuku hataki yahojiwe.

Mlio karibu na Mbowe, au wafuasi na mashabiki wake, kama wewe, mmshauri aimarishe chama chake kwanza. Tanzania itavuka salama kwenye janga hili la korona kwa mbinu na mikakati iliyowekwa na kusimamiwa na Setikali chini ya uongozi wa Rais mwenye "creative vision".

Tuliobaki TUJIKINGE TUWAKINGE WAPENDWA WETU.
