Dear Mwanakijiji,
I do respect your views, but I beg to disagree with you on this matter of the PM's resignation.
Why don't you assume that the PM has been overwhelmed by the ongoing killings of the Albinos and that's what led him to that statement. I have tried to imagine if one of us had a close family member who happened to be an Albino and suddenly disappeared? How would you retaliate if you catch a person on the process of trying to kidnap your family member? I rarely post articles on this forum, but I felt compelled to add my few cents.
I am worried sometimes how the opposition parties react to some issues. Their solution is always for one to resign, but instead of accepting it as a human error and lay down their solution to the problems. Any caring citizen who believes in humanity would react the same way the PM did. I would rather accept his apology and unity to find solutions to this problem, which is becoming a national crisis.
I think there is a need of declaring a national crisis that requires collective efforts to fight the perpetrators. This is not a time to gain political leverage on the expense of the Albinos. All interest stakeholders have to come together and find a solution. I would have been so impressed if Dr. Slaa himself would take initiative and host some albinos from his own constituency.
At least Waziri Mkuu has adopted a child who might have become a victim and another number. Resignation would not solve the problem. I am not defending his statement, but the statement does not require his resignation. We should bear in mind resignation is also costly for our nation.
Lets leave our politics aside and work for a solution.
