Rutashubanyuma,
This is a nice read but I must not doubt you are a plagiarist!! You have not been objective, you have been biased againt Dr. Slaa as a person and CHADEMA as a party. This is where you have failed, CCM is inflicting wounds on CHADEMA and is not on CCM, CUF, TLP and other parties (small mindedness creeps in here). You have failed to realize the differences between CCM and CHADEMA and other parties emanate from grievances people have over what are the right ways of doing this or that. You have failed to appreciate the blunders CCM has put us through. You have failed to see the need to a change, even from within CCM itself. For you, a different standard bearer by CCM is a change enough to propel us forward. It's not about change of ideologies, practices et al!!
Dr. Slaa is just ONE of those people (who think outside the box) and it's wrong to see that big group of people as carrying only HIS ways of doing things. In other words, it is right to say what is happening (right or wrong) is JK's way of doing things and he should not get away with it. Many times his sympathizers have come up with sick notes like "anashauriwa vibaya, watumishi wanamwangusha" and the like.
Reads like these will come and go before citizens go to the polls come 2015.
Mark my words. This country has changed, people have seen light. Wade of Senegal does not provide any lessons to Tanzanians, we have actually never learnt anything from anyone - this explains out state of affairs!!!
I just hope you will give us an opportunity to learn a thing or two about Prof. Lipumba, Dr. A. Mrema, J. Mbatia et al, too. Otherwise, the objectivity in your post is seriously lacking and probably we will have a chance to see your own work!!
