We have a major projection to make
After the CCM 20 mainland slots were filled we now are in position to share what we believe is in the pipeline.
We project Innocent Bashungwa second place showing in the CCM voting proves he is the most popular than any other cabinet minister with CCM rank and file deserving a Premier post replacing Kassim Majaliwa.
We project in a coming cabinet reshuffle he may be picked to be the PM. The oozing hunch is simply palpable to ignore.
His youthful exuberance and not tainted by any graft related scandal will resuscitate voter hopes that CCM can perpendicularly deal with official graft. Too much injustices are reeling the faithfuls still clung on CCM utopia to right wrongs now dimming it in the ballot box where it matters most. Bashungwa will quickly arraign bureaucratic brutality and looting of public resources that now appears to be acceptable as a way of running government business. Once this appointment is made thieving politicians and good for nothing bureaucrats will have to gape behind their shoulders before taking a leap of total destruction.
Detractors may point out that his ministerial record does not tout a tougher line against corruption but if Moringe Sokoine's record is anything to go by before his elevation to PM he was unimposing figure but after becoming the PM hell was let loose against all economic saboteurs, the bigger the shark the more darts gored everything their hearts cherished. We anticipate nothing less here, too.
So, one cannot judge the ability of a leader to trample corruption until he gets there particularly when one is concerned of alerting sponsors of corruption to thwart such nobler efforts of climbing a ladder to the top where the latitude to act bears no overt limits. And, the fear of reprisals is flimsy.
It is time to say thank you to Kassim Majaliwa albeit we will strain ourselves to remember what tangible he contributed but at least he was never adversely mentioned in any mind-boggling scam. However, his inability to stem out vices in the public sector has finally caught up with him. We love you, Kassim, and wish you a quiet retirement. It is time to flip this lackadaisical page and reset the leadership page to something refreshing replete with bubbling optimism.
Kassim is a nice bloke - regrettably, it ends there - but his insipidity, carefree and unenthusiastic demeanour does not apprehend or intimidate culprits as a result wrongdoing in public sector has been in an uptick. His lack of imagination is excruciatingly confounding: the system of governance he inherited he kept it uninterrupted suggesting it was sustainable while it is not! A little nip here and a little tuck there could have ameliorated public service accountability and altruism to the better but this gentleman lacked ideas or was unwilling to fix the rotten system crying out for tectonic intervention. He does not take action when accosted with evil by this he sends mixed signals which reassure looters and violators of human rights of insidious protection and minimal accountability: all this amounts to tacit approval and perpetuation of gross misconduct in the public sector. It is time to bid Kassim a fitting farewell and the nation ought to trudge on, as nobody is indispensable!
(It is noteworthy that we are now referring to Kassim in the past participle because he is done, done, done!)
