President Magufuli Tactics Threat to Democracy

[Bowie]

By Richard Miriti | Updated Nov 14, 2017
Tanzania President John Magufuli got off truck by silencing the voice of the people who pointed areas of his failing presidency.

The war on corruption that started as a genuine noble cause is now a theatre of settling political scores.

Tanzania president John Magufuli won with a promise of fighting corruption. He started well by showing up unannounced in different state offices where he demanded answers to spot questions. At first his move was seen as noble, genuine and fair play to the corrupt officials who for ages benefited from the corrupt system.

Moreover, in the instances where the president vacated from his official duties to act as watchdog of his administration turned out to be a bluff that only the likes of Saddam Hussein would approve.

Magufuli got off truck by silencing the voice of the people who pointed areas of his failing presidency. Magufuli turned his war on corruption to war on the voice of dissent.

Politicians who openly opposed Magufuli dictatorial tendencies ended up in jail.
Cabinet ministers who have in different ways tried their best to cope with one man show fighting corruption have ended up resigning or losing their jobs for questioning the president's’ tactics in silencing his critics.

The war on corruption that started as a genuine noble cause is now a theatre of settling political scores. The media which remains to be the only institution to hold the public officials accountable of their deeds have been shut down.

The world might be silent at this time but when the power of the people comes calling, there would be no stopping the voice of reason until the tenets of democracy once again find hope in the dark political web experience in Tanzania

Leaders with Magufuli tendencies may hold up until the end of their terms if by all means to they don’t add unconstitutional terms to their term limits.

However, after their departure that’s when true democracy, accountability and transparency is realized.

Gazeti la The Standard Kenya limekuja na makala inayomjadili Magufuli kwamba mwenendo wake ni hatari mno kwa demokrasia na nchi kwa ujumla, wanasema kwa hulka yake kuna kila dalili kuwa anaweza kung'ang'ania madarakani mara baada ya kipindi chake cha Urais kwisha

Tanzania ilikuwa ina sifa nzuri sana Before
ilikuwa inasifika kama nchi ambayo imesaidia nchi nyingine kusini mwa jangwa la sahara
imesifika kama nchi yenye peace and stability (relatively)
Imesifika kama nchi iliyoweza kufanya smooth power transition(Though ni within one party)
ilisifika kama nchi ya watu wenye Upendo na kusikilizana
Umoja ulikuwa ngao yetu

Siku hizi naona kama haya mambo sivyo
Mungu aisaidie Mama Tanzania
Upendo na umoja urudi kati yetu
Roho mbaya za kimugabe zinazotaka kumea zisitamalaki kamwe

Tanzania itajengwa na Watanzania kwa ajili ya manufaa ya watanzania na hatuhitaji mawazo ya wakenya ambao yakwao yamewashinda. JPM yupo kwa ajili ya watanzania na sio wakenya.

"The war on corruption that started as a genuine noble cause is now a theatre of settling political scores".

there's no better way of describing the leadership (I mean "prefectureship") style of the current regime...

kwa sababu mmefungia media zinazojielewa za Tanzania...mnadhani dunia haitasema? mkuu dunia ni kijiji

 

[Al-Watan]

The problem is, the author starts by writing "The war on corruption that started as a genuine noble cause is now a theatre of settling political scores.".

I disagree.

I can understand if the writer is employing a poetic method of immanent critique, giving the benefit of the doubt to the president only to show that, even if you grant him the most leeway in an overly optimistic way,the president still turns a noble cause into an ignoble vendetta.

I can agree with that, the logic, the prudence,the magnanimity of generosity, the positivity, the respect for the office of the president, the diplomatic philosophical approach.

I can agree with all that.

But the fact is, Magufulis the product of a corrupt system that he cannot uproot.

Magufuli uprooting this system is like uninstalling a computer's operating system by using the commands of that very same operating system from that very operating system. It won't work.

It is like someone demolishing a house from inside. Even before the house is demolished,that someone will die from all the bricks and walls falling on him.

Magufuli is the one who was involved in many a shady deals on behalf of the powers that be, from shady contracts to selling government properties at throwaway prices, sometimes to ineligibles that were well connected.

How could he genuinely embark on any serious fight against corruption?
