As Mr. Kabwe is part of the next generation of leadership in this country, I hope the message he sends out to the youth out there who adore this man will be one of saying NO to corruption.
It all boils down to intent in the individual, what is the intent behind the act? The youths of this country look up to this man and I believe he will not let them down! Because Tanzania has given the world sons like Mwalimu Nyerere, Mr. Maira, sons who held her head high in the world, then now more than ever, when she needs a son to rescue her from drowning in the sea of corruption and help her hold her head high again, her son cannot let her down.
After Mwalimu, this beautiful country has been drowning in a sea of corruption. I am inclined to believe there might be some truth to the Kikwete tidbit because if one is familiar with the "happenings" in Dar's so called biz. circles, one hears of certain individuals and their friends who continually seem to benefit from their "closeness" to the highest offices in the GOT.
(Even to the fact of having a so called fictional legal case be a cash generating machine after the decision of the highest court of land, the COA, stating to the Government to obey the Rule of Law.)
Having said that, I think these contract signing matters in hotel rooms need to be more transparent. Reminds me of what I read happened in the Valambhia case: Mr. Valambhia's legal entitlement was sitting on top of the desk of every gvt. minister in Tanzania, still through the back door when the case was subjudiced, an "instrument" was constructed by some individuals in AG chambers and signed by the then MOF, and money was released to Mr. Valambhia's partner, the one who had lost the case and the money. This act is called criminal, its called stealing!
Corruption cannot be a way of life! Its pure Evil!
Also, Tanzania is a country rich in natural resources, she can feed, clothe, educate her children, but not when there are Vultures out there who hover above her and continue to steal from her. Tanzania is still a developing nation, the process of how contracts are signed can be debated, so that reforms can take place. There should be zero tolerance for corruption! Its about time to think about the interests of ALL people of Tanzania and not just about the self interest of few people when signing on the dotted line. In Mwalimu's words "If real development is to take place, the people have to be involved".
I hope and pray that the next generation be taught to say NO to corruption! For the cost of corruption is colossal! Its the impotence of the poor. Its the destruction of hopes, dreams, of the strangling of Justice! I hope the youth of this country do not let the father of this nation down!
"We spoke and acted as if, given the opportunity for self-government, we would quickly create utopias. Instead injustice, even tyranny, is rampant."
Julius Kambarage Nyerere, as quoted in David Lamb's The Africans, New York 1985.
