What is the basis of that statement?Do you have personal problems with presidaa?
I have problems with ignorance, wherever I see it.
In Trump. In Magufuli. In you.
I point it out. I attack it. Ignorance. Not you. Not Magufuli. Not Trump.
Ignorance.
So why do you see my pointing out of ignorance as a personal problem with your president while I attack ignorance anywhere?
I attack ignorance in Kikwete, Mkapa, Mwinyi, Nyerere.
I attack ignorance in Lipumba, Lowassa, Lissu, Hamad.
I attack the charade of democracy in a country where a lot of people are uneducated.
It is ignorance.
I attack the chorus of hagiography that ignores basic things.
It is ignorance.
I attack people who see my attacking ignorance as personal with no basis for saying so.
It is ignorance.
Where do you get this ignorance of suggesting there is anything personal between myself and Magufuli?
If you want to make it personal, I should be singing Magufuli praises.
You know why? I will tell you.
1. My uncle is in Magufuli's cabinet.
2. My father was sold a government house in Oysterbay by Magufuli. It is now probably worth 3 million USD.
If I was not a principled person, I was supposed to be one of those people who sings praises for Magufuli.
He basically gave my family a 3 million USD house for nothing. In Oysterbay.
But I am better than that.
I am looking at the bigger picture using better principles.
Now, as you see, if you want to make it personal, I should love Magufuli immensely.
But I don't. Because my principles are rooted in ideals that are better than the mere personal.
Kuna watu wanamsifia Magufuli wakati kawakamua mpaka mavi.
Kwa sababu ya ujinga.
Mimi ambaye Magufuli kaipa familia yangu nyumba ya dola za Kimarekani milioni tatu Oysterbay bure naujua ujinga wake na namchana.
That alone should give you pause.
