Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

By forcing the election commission to surrender its constitutional duty to local government violates the impetus behind the creation of the election commission in the first place

So all election pieces of legislation disempowering the constitutional authority NEC to manage our elections are unconstitutional

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

The constitution envisages that the election commission will manage our elections

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

If the framers of our constitution wanted local government to manage our elections they would have said so

Well, they didn't and regardless of how DEDs are appointed is really not the issue

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

The issue is DEDs are not mentioned as the election commission

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

And pieces of legislation empowering DEDs to encroach on constitutional powers of the election commission is where our troubles commences

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

So all arguments of questioning the authority of the president to appoint DEDs in relation to the independence of the election commission misses the point of law

Our constitution envisages NEC to work independently not being a captive of presidential appointees

The current setup means the election commission has been reduced to a bystander watcher robbed of her constitutional onus to supervise our election

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

At the current setup means all elections from 1995 to todate and until the election laws disempowering the election commission are knocked off our book of laws are illegal

Having made those findings then we need to revisit the issue of Bernard Membe

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

Is Membe aware of the election is determined to take part is illegal

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

Is he aware all NEC declared winners from 1995 till when election laws disempowering it are erased from our law books were illegal?

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

From his whole conduct we are in position to say he hardly knows these legal matters

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

If he does, then his greed for power blinds his wisdom

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

Whichever the case we have to rule him out as a consummate strategist

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

So Bernard Kamilius Membe is hereby declared not a consummate strategist

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

Had he been a strategist let alone a consummate one he would have refused to take part in a sham election

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

By taking part in a sham election not founded in our constitution he is lavishing an illegal election process with an air of undeserved legitimacy
