Neither Kikwete nor Mkullo is known for scholarship and the upholding of high standards of integrity.One can say no current national leader can pass the above test.
But the issue Mwanakijiji raise depicts the lack of commitment on the part of both or either the presidency / ministry of finance to avail themselves to the tackling of a very low bar, that of coming with two speeches that are thematically and statistically similar, but yet with each maintaining an authentic originality, hallmarking distinctiveness, giving people a reason to go through the ordeal of the good, the bad the ugly and the truly vogonic ambiguous bureaucratspeak that would make a snake's oil salesman sound like mother Theresa.
All I see is the hubris increasing, my bullshit detector (a.k.a BS Geiger-Müller counter) is pitching high.These jokers are stealing from us, OK, we admit they are stealing, they can;t even steal and put up a good show! Talk about eating with the blind.
Juvenal would say... oh by now you should know the ancient Roman poet and his pre-Machiavelli Machiavellian touting of the virtues ofusing bread and circuses to keep the Romans from focusing on the affairs of government.
Tanzanians are not only shortchanged in not getting any bread, it appears even the circus is a stale humdrum litany of less than substandard strung up laundry lists of jumbled statistics and coughed up deceptive doublespeak passing for a budget.
