Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

Recurrent budget is almost untouchable

So the one trillion shillings that our men and women in uniform were forgiven to pay their personal housing loans

Must have come from cuts of development budget

Civilian development budgets were frozen to appease our men and women in uniform

Regretfully, as development budget is shrinking our civilian rulers become unpopular and weakened

If development budget geared to upgrade our social amenities are sacrificed

There's a political backlash

So to suppress the disenchantment leading to social upheaval

Our weakened civilian rulers unleash a police state for own personal survival

The vicious cycles are a unavoidable vortex

Even the appeasement of individual military top brass is not without generating discontent among military brass who feels snubbed

As few men and women are patted on the back with plum jobs

A class struggle ensues among our men and women in uniform

Those who benefit from politicization of the military become sudden millionaires

Those snubbed are left to pick the crumbs such internal meaningless promotion

We say internal promotion are futile because they are more horinzontal than are vertical

Medals and stars are strict adherents to Napoleon doctrine but it is comparative scenario where even Napoleon principles fail to nudge deference and obedience

The rules of engagement in picking military brass to civilian rule tend to be unclear and conflicting because of the demands of political desires of myopic appeasement

And lack of clarity in such appointments generate feelings of bias and favouritism

Nobody can please anybody forever
