Review of Services of Tz Envoys.
I appeal to the State to introduce bonus scheme for envoys that do better in attracting investors to home country and strictly remunerate them for result based hard work. This means that their salaries must not necessarily be of standard rate and scale. Those who do not work hard to bring in investors their remunerations must stagnate at the scale and amount awarded to them when beginning their tour of duty. Those excelling in bringing in foreign investment should be subsidized by the State to enable them buy shares in the same investments they have attracted to the country. It does not lack substance at this juncture of the implementation of national vision 2025 for the government to recruit both tourism and investments attachés and post them in all strategic Tanzania high commissions.
This idea if implemented, will help breed rich indigenous people in multiplicity who will use their capital in terms of shares for national development and the nation will not feel the agony of capital flight anymore. The State must financially guarantee these envoys to buy shares and it should be made mandatory for the foreign capital that flows to the country by the aid of the envoys to float some shares for the envoys. After the shares stabilize for a given period of time, the State must launch recovery plan of the subsidy with little interest to enable it widen its scope of helping new envoys who do better in their career. The whole idea will reflect on such idiom of “Kazi iendelee”
Restructuring of Civil Service.
Poaching is legal business in the field of human resources, it is time now that the government should think of poaching of nationals from profit role-model companies to manage public sector and give lesson to fellow Tanzanians that civil service revolution is mandatory if we are determined to achieve national vision that will have us transformed to middle income economy come 2025. Private sector especially foreign investors have experience to share with us and a lesson to teach us in-terms of how performance is managed, how best objectives are set both short and long term ones, how implementation is planned and put to reality, how is implementation process coordinated, how results are measured, how proper reporting is done, how is market share determined and bolstered, how best to avoid break-even point by capitalizing on competition, how to instil expenditure discipline, how best to manage time productively, how to identify and capture business opportunities, how to manage external political pressure on company resources without compromising institutional image? Political orders for company support must not be confused with CSR.
I sincerely believe there is no reason at all for a public airline that enjoys State subsidy to die while private ones thrive without subsidy in the synonymous market conditions. I am convinced beyond doubt that if you handover the airline to a mere sales or marketing manager of a private profit making capital, in just one or two fiscal years, the airline will never ever demand subsidy anymore instead will stand on its own and be able to remit to the public coffers finances realized as profits. Just mere sales or marketing manager, let alone a director!
People like Mr. Nehemia Mchechu went to State institution of National Housing Corporation from private sector and now we can see the level of dedication he put that has brought tremendous productivity and made the institution role model in the housing sector. Mrs. Margareth Chacha is an iron lady from private-public capital i.e. CRDB via diplomatic institution of UNDP to private undertaking of Women’s Development Bank whose growth is fast tracked under her leadership despite its infancy which isn’t scared at all by currently roaring stiff competition of virtually 53 registered banks and more than a dozen financial institutions including the telecom industry which is causing headache by its brand product of mobile banking that has seen the demise of postal traditional ways of sending money and brought unprecedented revolution in the sector of finance. Dr. Charles Kimei cannot be left out of the box as he has made CRDB the peak cap of the banking industry. Many examples could be given of such role model indigenous CEOs in private investments who can show us the way.
We should instantly desist from giving public institutions to national managers who have entirely lost the powers of innovativeness and creativity and succumbed to political commands at the cost of these public firms which were put in their custody by way of high level appointment of them to such leadership positions of the firms. We do not need to import capacities of expatriates from beyond the borders exorbitantly while we have those nationals already groomed in the private sector [foreign capital] which is performing wonderfully better against public sector.
I suggest that all indigenous MDs, CEOs, DGs, EDs and their immediate directors should be pouched from private sector to public sector to man public firms if indeed we want to be performance driven to achieve national vision. Placement of the pouched manpower should also involve such positions of DEDs, DASs and DCs as these grass-root positions are charged with supervising and coordinating implementation of both central and local government development plans and projects that only fall to their watch from above while discretion retained up there. We must start measuring performance of these civil servants by revitalizing OPRAS tool that will lead us to doing cost benefit analysis of these senior government officers to compel them to deliver.
I am convinced beyond doubt that this calibre of nationals who have excelled in private sector by taking it to greater heights of performance against public sector is undeniably the only force behind vibrancy and forward drive that can manage talents [human capital] in these sneezing public firms in a result based approach. “If we manage to see further it is because we stand upon the shoulders of giants, [Sir Isaac Newton, 1675].” In this case, the giants are these role-model national workforce in private sector. Let’s not be scared by problems as Robert Schuller said “Problems are not the stop signs, they are the guidelines.”
By my own hands and intellect.
