Jenerali Ulimwengu: Wazalendo wote wanatakiwa kumuunga mkono Rais Samia

[spleen]

As an old adage goes, ^If you don't like something, give it a bad name & reputation as a scapegoat and excuse to thrash and throw it away^

#Mtanikumbuka kwa mazuri

Angalau watu hawatekwi,watu wanapanda madaraja kazini na hajijengei uwanja wa ndege usio na tija kijijini kwake.....na angalau anawaondoa mapema na si kuwabakisha kwa jeuri kama Bashite ili tu kuwakomoa wanaompinga

 

[nyabhingi]

I have been here long enough to see it all. The persistent attack on Magufuli started with the selling of government houses. Lord knows why he was obsessed with that "scandal". From then he never buckled. He was totally blinded and couldn't find an iota of inspiration nor good deed from Mkapa and Magufuli, how can he be objective?

Probably there is nothing good about them.

 

[Matrix19]

In terms of eloquence and coherence i stand with Jenarali!

No more despots!

 

[triumvirate]

Jenerali Ulimwengu hawakubali kabisa Hayati Mkapa na JPM. Wote wawili anazo hoja za kuwachukia. Mkapa alimfanyia unyama miaka ile.

JPM hakukubaliana kabisa na hivi vyama vya masuala ya haki za binadamu, alikwaruzana nao mara nyingi tu. Mzee Ulimwengu ni mtu wa dunia fulani ya kina Maria Sarungi na Fatuma Karume, watu wa kisasa wasio na mitazamo mikali ile ya kiafrika.

Uchambuzi mzuri mkuu..umenifunua namna nzuri ya kumuelezea Twaha Ulimwengu.

 

[triumvirate]

Ningekuelewa kidogo angalau, kama ungesema Ulimwengu ana "pending unsettling grudge" dhidi ya Mkapa, maana huyo ndiye aliyempokonya Jenerali uraia. Sasa Magu na Ulimwengu wapi na wapi? Ulimwengu anampinga Magufuli kwa sababu ya principle.

Pia, kama wewe ni mtu wa Magufuli kweli, basi jenga hoja kupinga hoja za Jenerali, tuzione na kukujibu, siyo kubwabwaja tu.

Mfano kiduchu tu huu. Kasome the East African April 13 2021 online huko anavyohororojoka kuua jina la Magu.

 

[Phillipo Bukililo]

Mfano kiduchu tu huu. Kasome the East African April 13 2021 online huko anavyohororojoka kuua jina la Magu.

Magufuli alijenga kujiamini ndani kabisa ya mioyo ya baadhi ya watanzania. Amekufa kimwili lakini ule ujasiri wake na uthubutu wa kufanya jambo analoona lina manufaa kwa Tanzania ni kitu kinachoendelea kuishi.

 

[Matrix19]

Sipati picha Misukule ya Lumumba ingekuwaje lau kama mfano huu ungekuwa umetolewa sasa!! Kwa yalivyo mazuzu, yangedhani anamsema Mbowe kumbe alikuwa anazungumzia Strong System vs Weak System!!

Supported with a weak system, Magu alikuwa Rais, Jaji, IGP, DPP, Chief Engineer, and many more!!!

The dictator weaponised our beloved country and imposed repressive legislationand i sincerely hope his budding dictator legacy doesn't live after him within his party or in the entire country

 

[macho_mdiliko]

Propaganda zilikuwa nyingi sana na kwasababu most of Tanzanian ni masikini mbinu yake ya "Robinhood economic policy" ilimpa sifa kwa masikini wengi

Kwa wananchi wa kawaida nakubali. Lakini mbona wasomi wengi nao walijitoa akili na kusema au kufanya vitu vya kiwendawazimu kabisa? Unamkumbuka yule mama waziri wa Afya na malimau yake akifanya vitu vya kichekesho mbele ya kadamnasi? Magufuli angekuwepo mpaka sasa hivi huenda angekuwa ameshapata kichaa. Unamkumbuka ma-profesa wengi wetu walivyojitoa ufahamu kwa kuunga mkono au kusema vitu ambavyo haviendani kabisa na elimu yao? Da... mpaka sasa nikikumbuka inakuwa kama nchi ilikuwa imenyunyiziwa dawa.

Back in the mid-1990s a group of us who served in parliament got into the habit of meeting old man Julius Nyerere at his Msasani home in Dar es Salaam for a chitchat.

The meetings were relaxed, cordial and full of bonhomie from the great man, though he had actually summoned us to see him on a matter wherein he believed we were very wrong by the stance we had taken as legislators on issues related to the Union.

Mwalimu was at this time deep in his retirement, but he still wielded far greater influence on the thinking of Tanzanians than did incumbent President Ali Hassan Mwinyi.

At this particular time, he was thinking of the 1995 General Election which would be the first since we had embraced multiparty politics, and he was busy, on many occasions, counselling Tanzanians to choose carefully when electing a new president.

Some of us knew that he was rooting for Salim Ahmed Salim, who was at that time secretary-general of the Organisation of African Unity in Addis Ababa, but Mwalimu was sparing no effort to have him back home to run for president.

Though he did not tell our group that Salim would be the right candidate for the ruling party, he stressed the importance of making the right choice, because, he said, ‘‘our heads of state in our little countries are too important and they cannot be compared with the leaders of more developed countries”.

‘‘You see these Italians,’’ he said, pointing his index finger nowhere in particular. ‘‘They have a new government every three months (this was the pre-Berlusconi era) but there is no crisis in government. If they choose a disc-jockey, he will go to government house and dance 24/7 but government business will carry on unaffected,’’ he said, doing one of his trademark chuckles

‘‘But if you the Waswahili make that mistake, everything will come to a standstill except disco dancing, and all of you will become disco dancers,’’ he said.

‘‘This is so because the Italians have systems that work: the civil service, the parliament, the think tanks, the chambers of commerce, the security and intelligence systems, the universities and research bodies… The prime minister can go dance himself lame, but government will deliver. Not you with your failed institutions and systems,’’ he did the dramatic pause for effect. ‘‘You will all become disco dancers because you have weak, inoperative systems, and whatever the big man does and says becomes the gold standard for all.’’

Long story short, Mwalimu did not get his Salim Ahmed; second-best Benjamin Mkapa became president, and the rest is history. But Nyerere’s words have remained with me ever since, and I sometimes experience great pain when I observe how spot-on the old man was.

There is proof of that with us right now: just fast-forward from old man Julius to President Samia Suluhu this last week. She was commending officials of the anti-corruption outfit for withdrawing close to 150 cases based on trumped-up charges, and directing the police authorities to follow suit.

That the anti-corruption people can now report that they have withdrawn scores of cases they had fabricated against innocent people speaks to the evil that President Samia inherited, and calls for an investigation, at the very least.

It indicates that her predecessor, just like Nyerere’s disco dancer, got everyone dancing to his tune, basically because we have no working institutions and instead we have zombified offices whose shameless occupants will do the bidding of their unscrupulous bosses without a thought for what is just and fair.

It is a crying shame that these people, who have now owned up to causing unnecessary suffering to people who had no fault, can be left to continue in their offices, only withdrawing a hundred-something cases that were no cases at all to begin with.

How shall we compensate those who lost so many years of their freedom simply because Magufuli did not like them? And how do we make the authors of these evil deeds pay for their villainy, as a deterrent for others of their ilk who are still hiding in dark government offices but will take any opportunity given them to torture other innocent victims?

The past five years under Magufuli have been hard for many Tanzanians because the most basic rules of engagement in a civilised society were ignored at the instigation of Magufuli, who publicly encouraged his subalterns to lock up people without due process called on judges to imprison accused persons on the sole excuse that he was giving them funds to run the Judiciary.

In many parts of the country, Magufuli sent individuals with no conscience to lord over people and enrich themselves in the name of eradicating the opposition. Now, the least that can be done is to have these malefactors investigated at least on issues pertaining to their record of resource plunder and people’s rights abuses.

President Samia must know that her people are applauding her for her bold moves to “demagufulify’’ Tanzania. She should gather more courage and get more people in her corner to unearth and sweep away the disco dancers she has inherited.

And, all patriots should support her.

Summary ya Ripoti ya TUME YA KERO ZA RUSHWA NCHINI chini ya Jaji Joseph Warioba ya 1996 ukurasa wa 166 katika aya/fungu la 289 hadi 291 ikijadili kuhusu uadilifu wa Viongozi imeandika kwamba "Miongoni mwa sababu zinazofanya uongozi wa juu kuwa dhaifu ni namna wanavyoandaliwa na kuteuliwa. Wengi wa Viongozi wa juu - Makatib Wakuu na Wakuu wa Idara zinazojitegemea, wameteuliwa toka taaluma mbali mbali ambazo sio za utawala na hata baada ya kuteuliwa hawakupitishwa mafunzo ya utawala. Kwa hiyo hawafahamu sheria,Kanuni za utumishi,Kanuni za Fedha na Nyaraka mbali mbali za Utumishi na hazina,
290. Aidha, utaratibu wa kuwateua viongozi hawa wa juu haufahamiki vizuri.Tume ya Mramba ilipendekeza kwa iwepo Kamati itakayomshauri Rais kuhusu uteuzi wa Maafisa hawa ambao itakuwa na wajumbe .........
TUME HII YA KERO ZA RUSHWA iliweka msingi mzuri wa namna ya UTEUZI lakini nani anayesoma NYARAKA ZA MIAKA 25 iliyopita (1996)?
angalia tume inavyosema kuhusu uteuzi..

291.Kuhusu kuzorota usimamizi katika ngazi za katikati tume inakubaliana na TUME zilizopita kwamba Tatizo hili limetokana na kuondolewa kwa kada ya utawala serikalini- Administrative cadre na kutoweka kwa utaratibu wa utawala katika usimamizi wa kazi kulikosababishwa na kuondoa mafunzo na mipango ya kuwaandaa maafisaa hao. Juhudi za kurudisha kada hii hazijafikia kiwango kinachotakiwa. Kada hii ni muhimu sana katika kumsaidia Katibu Mkuu kusimamia nidhamu,maendeleo ya wafanyakazi, matumizi ya fedha,kusikiliza malalamiko ya wananchi na utawala kwa ujumla.
Tume ya warioba ilipendekeza kuwa 293 (iv) Kuwepo kamati itakayoongozwa na Katibu Mkuu wa Rais,itakayo mshauri Rais juu ya uteuzi wa maafisa hawa na kwamba viongozi wa KISIASA WASIRUHUSIWE kupeleka mapendekezo ya watu wanaowataka kwa Rais." Hii iliandikwa mwaka 1996 wakati huo wengine tupo shule ya Msingi kama sio Sekondari; lakini uhalisia unasemaje leo hii 2021.

Nampongeza Rais wetu SSH kwa sababu anawasikiliza wataalam zaidi kuliko wanasiasa ndio maana amefanya mabadiliko ya haraka kwa Mtu aliyemteua kuwa RAS wa Simiyu, kwangu hiyo ni STRENGHTS kubwa; namwombea ujasiri na Moyo uliotulia kwa kusikiliza/"

TV/Radio/au magazeti yanaweza kuandaa kipindi cha mahojiano na Mhe Jaji Warioba kuhusu TUME YA KERO ZA RUSHWA YA 1996

Wengine,pengine na wewe ukiwemo,wanamtetea Magufuli kwa sababu walifaidika na utawala wake wa kiimla. Wengine kwa teuzi za upendeleo. Wengine kwa kupewa mandate ya kutekeleza majukumu yasiyokuwa yao kupitia task force,wengine ubunge wa mezani nk

“It is a crying shame that these people, who have now owned up to causing unnecessary suffering to people who had no fault, can be left to continue in their offices…..”

Mzee Jenerali anaongea kitu cha msingi. Yale majitu yaliyobambikizia watu kesi yanabakije ofisini?

..waliokuwa wakitesa, kudhalilisha, kubambikia kesi, na kuua, wakati wa Mwendazake, ndio wameunda genge la kueneza propaganda kwamba Mama Samia hafai.

..wanaogopa kwamba rekodi zao zikiwekwa hadharani watapata aibu kubwa, na kuingia matatani kisheria.

 

[Eric Cartman]

What a hypocrite.

Hivi unawezaje kusema Magufuli aliamuru kwa majaji watu wafungwe, kisa ana personal problems nao.

Katika hao watu 150 waliofutiwa case wangapi anaweza wataja walikuwa na direct or indirect dealings na Magufuli au hata kama walikuwa wanajuana nae at personal level. You can’t just accuse people with nonsense without showing single evidence.

Watu wenye argument ya kusema wapo jela sababu ya Magufuli ni Rugemalila na Seth. But then pressure mmezitoa nyie wenyewe ya hao watu kupelekwa jela kwa story ya kutunga kuanzia bunge, media, politician kama hakina Zitto, social media na baadhi ya vyombo vya serikali: so you can’t put entire blame on Magufuli.

Lakini mtu anakesi ya uhujumu uchumi, DPP anasema kesi aina dhamana, Magufuli sio mwanasheria, hajui details za kesi na pengine wala afuatilii maana alikuwa na kazi zingine za kujenga taifa.

So how the hell mlundikano wa hizo kesi ni tatizo lake watu ambao wengi hawajui na wala details za kesi zao mostlikely hazijui pia.

Ulimwengu ni kundi la fatmakarume na askofubagonza na lwaitamaudasa waliokula matunda ya CCM wakavimbiwa wakaanza kutapika. Mfumo wa chama kimoja ni wa nyerere. Dentetion Act ni ya nyerere, kuhamia dodoma ni nyerere, kuhujumu uchumi ni ya sokoine, kuwafunga UAMSHO ni kikwete.

The most important aspect of all these is that Nyerere and Sokoibe and Kikwete hadi 100% public support, but without kutekeleza. Alichofanya Magu ni kutekeleza, inawauma sana wapinzani, wasaliti na terrorists.

Samia and CCM will still enjoy the public full sport - no question about that - la sivyo wasiporodhika hawatamchagua 2025. Under normal terms, Kikwete angemkaribisha tundulissu futari but poor Magufuli died before he could do a nyamachoma but I very much doubt if Samia will do that.
