“What Africa needs is strong institutions, not strong men or women,” says Zitto Kabwe, an opposition leader.
So funny that a government can directly and forcefully withdraw $5m from an account of a company, ironically, same government owes that company $30m, but taking forever to settle the payment. No wonder Tz is sinking deeper in World Bank’s ease of doing business index.
Running a government through the media can only get chaotic.

The design with which Magufuli is running Tz, he can't get anywhere closer to the level of mama Mugenda. He is too chaotic and un-orderly with no plan, strategy or tactics. Read this analysis
WHEN opening parliament after his election last year, Tanzania’s president, John Magufuli, repeated a campaign promise: parents would no longer have to pay for secondary education. “And when I say free education, I indeed mean free,” he assured MPs. This year the government started expelling foreign workers without proper permits, including thousands of Kenyan teachers. Schools that were already straining to cope with a huge influx of new pupils are now at breaking point.
The president, nicknamed “the Bulldozer”, has delighted Tanzanians with an anti-corruption drive and public displays of austerity. Within weeks of taking office last November he had banned all but the most urgent foreign travel for government officials. He spent Tanzania’s Independence Day picking up litter by hand. He has fired officials suspected of incompetence or dishonesty and purged 10,000 “ghost workers” from the public payroll. However, he has a worrying tendency not to think things through.
Who’s in charge?

Take, for example, his efforts to extract more tax from people using the port at Dar es Salaam, a gateway for the region. He has enforced VAT on the costs of moving goods that arrive at the port overland to neighbouring countries such as Zambia and Malawi. Shipping firms have immediately switched routes and now unload in Kenya, Mozambique or South Africa, leaving a once bustling harbour almost empty.
Mr Magufuli remains popular with ordinary Tanzanians. Twitter users at #WhatWouldMagufuliDo celebrate his thriftiness by suggesting amusing things he might approve of, such as wearing a curtain instead of buying new clothes and heating showers with a candle. The president has mended fences with neighbours, too. In April Uganda decided that a $4 billion oil pipeline would go through Tanzania, scrapping a previous agreement with Kenya. A month later Rwanda decided to build a railway to Dar es Salaam instead of the Kenyan port of Mombasa.
However, some Tanzanians, especially businessfolk, are having doubts about Mr Magufuli’s flair for the dramatic. When he thinks a public official has misbehaved he fires him on the spot, rather than following due process. More important is that he shows little interest in wider reforms aimed at spurring economic growth. If anything he seems to be making it tougher to invest in a country that already scores dismally on the World Bank’s ease of doing business index, where it is ranked 139th out of 189. “What Africa needs is strong institutions, not strong men or women,” says Zitto Kabwe, an opposition leader.
Surprisingly Tanzania even makes it hard for honest companies to pay their taxes (there it ranks 150th). Little wonder many less scrupulous ones don’t bother: last year fewer than 500 companies contributed an astonishing 43% of government revenues. Many others paid nothing.
Instead of addressing these deeper structural issues Mr Magufuli has continued to live up to his nickname of “Bulldozer”: one foreign firm was given seven days to settle a $5m bill, says its boss. The country’s revenue authority then took the money directly from its bank account. By contrast, the government is painfully slow to pay its own bills: it still owes the same company $30m. Acacia Mining, a gold producer, is owed $98m in VAT rebates—effectively an interest-free loan to the government. “The country has become totally uninvestable,” says a bigwig at a private-equity firm with holdings across Africa. “You pay your taxes for five years and have the returns to prove it and then some guy arrives with his own calculation and says you haven’t paid your tax.”
Mr Magufuli’s zeal may be admired, but his party, which has ruled Tanzania since independence, is thuggish and undemocratic: it suppressed dissent during the elections last year and then cancelled a vote held in Zanzibar after the opposition probably won it. Frustrated, America suspended $472m of aid. The Bulldozer merely harrumphed that Tanzania would soon no longer need aid and told the revenue authority to squeeze even harder.

CLARIFICATION ON THE ALLEGATIONS BY THE ECONOMIST- ENGLISH LANGUAGE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ABOUT OUR GOVERNMENT
On 28th May 2016, The Economist – English Language Weekly Newspaper published an article with heading “Government by gesture – A president who looks good but governs impulsively”. The article, inter alia misinformed the public and readers that since Dr. John PombeMagufuli came into powers last year “the country has become totally uninvestable”.
The Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) would like to point out that the information portrayed by the newspaper is inaccurate, misleading and distortion of facts.
TIC wishes to inform the public and readers of the following facts:-
1. Since President John Magufuli came into power (from December 2015 to May 2016) TIC has registered 551 investment projects worth $ 9,211.88 million. Of all these projects 229 are owned by Tanzanians, 215 projects are owned by foreigners while 107 projects are owned through joint ventures.The projects are expected to employ 55,970people and bring multiplier effects to Tanzanians
The above registered projects by TIC for the past six months (December 2015 – May 2016) shows an increase of 20.31% compared to six months before President Magufuli came to power i.e. June-November 2015 where TIC registered 458 investment projects worth $ 5,727.29 million. Of all these projects 201 are owned by Tanzanians, 159 projects are owned by foreigners while 98 projects are owned through joint ventures. The projects are expected to employ 39,361 people and bring multiplier effects to Tanzanians .
Generally, investments have increased during President Magufuli’s era which shows high investor confidence towards his Government. Attractive laws, peace, stability good and friendly policy as well asconducive investment environment are other major factors that have attracted both FDI and domestic investment during this period in Tanzania.
2. The World Investment Report 2015 indicates that FDI rose by 14.5% in the United Republic of Tanzania. The Report noted that Tanzania, in 2014, regained its FDI inflows compared to the previous three years. In fact, its FDI inflows represented its highest level in 2014 given that it attracted slightly $ 2,142 million compared to $ 2,131 million recorded in 2013. This amount is significantly higher than the very low level of $ 640 million between 2005-2007 (pre-crisis). This achievement is due to natural gas reserves discoveries in the United Republic of Tanzania. Indeed, Tanzania remains the leading FDI’s recipient in the East African Community.
3. It is true that, the World Bank Doing Business Report 2016 ranked Tanzania 139 out of 189 countries compared to 145 out of 189 in 2014. TIC wishes to clarify that, Doing Business provides an aggregate ranking on the ease of doing business based on indicator sets that measure and benchmark regulations applying to domestic small to medium-size businesses through their life cycle. Economies are ranked from 1 to 189 by the ease of doing business ranking. Therefore this has nothing to do with the leadership of Dr. John Magufuli.
4. TIC reaffirms the public and readers that Tanzania is still the best place in East Africa to invest due to the fact that the country is peaceful and stable. Tanzania has a friendly business environment supported by good investment policy and legislation. The Fifth Phase Government under the leadership of President Magufuli continues to take measures to improve investment climate as and when need arises.
Tanzania’s investment environment continues to offer predictable, transparent and strong long-term proposition to investors. Investment is legally protected against expropriation and nationalization.
In terms of investment facilitation, the Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC), Zanzibar Investment Promotion Agency (ZIPA) and Export Processing Zone (EPZA) promote, coordinate and facilitate all investments in Tanzania. These are premier ports of call for investors coming to Tanzania through their well-established one-stop shop facilities.
Tanzania’s geographic location position makes her as a natural regional business hub. Tanzania borders 8 countries, 6 out of which namely Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia and Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, uses the Dar es Salaam port and Tanzania’s railways and roads for their sea freight. This presents good opportunities for investment in infrastructure development, trade, transport and logistics.
Therefore the statement that our country has become totally uninvestable has no truth in it and should be completely ignored by the public and readers.

Magufuli: God sent leader to TZ
PRESIDENT John Magufuli joins fishermen to clean the Dar es Salaam Ferry area as part of celebrations to mark the 54 Independence Anniversary last year. The Tanzanian leader does not lead by gesture or impulse - but by example.
PRESIDENT John Magufuli joins fishermen to clean the Dar es Salaam Ferry area as part of celebrations to mark the 54 Independence Anniversary last year. The Tanzanian leader does not lead by gesture or impulse - but by example.
The fact that the arguments advanced are full of insults and belittles a Head of State of a country with no shares in the Economist, is a sign of not only disrespect but a loss of focus by an otherwise “respected” international paper.
No wonder the current feeling worldwide is that The Economist we all used to almost adore is nowadays a mere unprofessional Tabloid, devoid of decency, quasi combative and totally disingenuous.
Certainly, the Tanzania leader does not govern impulsively. Neither does he lead the government by gesture. To the contrary, he is fully committed to strengthening democratic principles of good governance and rule of law, leads a sustained fight against corruption and brings about efficiency and accountability in delivery of services to the people, subsequently lifting the majority of them out of poverty.
These efforts are what the Economist does not appreciate. Instead, the author of the article shows a high degree of ignorance and ineptness and intentionally attempts to mislead the world of a well thought through President Magufuli’s vision.
The President is evidently taking measures and carrying out reforms that strongly support favorable business climate that will spur speedy economic growth. He firmly thinks things through and with a high degree of clarity for that matter.
The majority of the people of Tanzania and outside borders, embrace what he is doing and stands for. Understandably the few, who have ripped off our resources unchecked over centuries and take them away to develop Europe, are not amused.
The article fails to sharpen the arguments by showing reasons behind what it terms tax irrationality, claims of a country becoming uninvestable, but even discussing in all fairness America’s usual double standards in respect to upholding of human rights and arrogance of interfering in internal matters of other sovereign states.
However, overall the investment climate in Tanzania continues to improve considerably.
The Dar es Salaam port is currently one of the most efficient and corrupt free ports in this part of the world. Cargo handling is done electronically and on a 24 hour basis.
Meanwhile, businesses can now be registered online. Air and surface transport network, especially roads, offer the most cost effective connectivity in the region.
The power supply is stable and connectivity has reached 40 per cent, which is one of the highest on the continent. The development budget for 2016/2017 focuses mainly on wealth creation and laying foundation for industrialization and has been increased from 27 per cent the previous fiscal year to 40 per cent this year.
Surely, it is inconceivable to allege that this government is being led by gestures! On the other hand, it is a blatant and an unqualified lie to assert that the country has expelled thousands of Kenyan teachers who purportedly did not have proper working permits.
Arguably Tanzania is one of the few countries with very liberal immigration and labor laws making it a favored destination for people from all over the world including the conservative UK.
Of course, since the author might have been paid to insult us, it is not surprising that some disgruntled and erratic opposition leaders are being quoted to paint a negative image of the country.
Yes Africa needs strong men and strong women to lead strong institutions. And yes Tanzania is just doing that for the benefit of her citizens. Those businessmen or so called foreign investors who used to siphon our resources with absolute impunity using corrupt government leaders and politicians, who do not want strong men and women, should count themselves unwanted.
They will continue to use Tabloids like the Economist to discredit committed and honest governments such as that led by President Magufuli. Time is definitely running out for them and Africa is no longer the same old highly indebted and dependent continent.
Tanzania’s new vision and economic model will work for our people and not foreigners seated in London who still think the continent can relapse into absurdity under crocked white stocky colonialists.
The country is taking its destiny in its own hands by instilling a culture of high degree of discipline, accountability and efficiency with emphasis on prudence, proper collection and utilization of revenue, control government expenditure and allow private and public investments to flourish.
These agents of change stand out high on the current government’s development agenda. President Magufuli remains focused and is firmly in charge of the destiny of Tanzania and God bless him abundantly.
It is time we completely stop begging sprees to London, Washington, Brussels etc.
