Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

just like the brutal generals turned democrats in West Africa have found out in Bukina Fasso and of recent in Gambia gratuitous force never succeed to intimidate the citizens but carries the seismic capacity to alienate voters from the brutal rulers of the day

so instead of rounding up dissenters ccm can begin open up more space for criticisms and using it for self-reexamination.

till then ccm ought to begin preparing itself psychologically like Boers of South Africa to hand over power to the united opposition.

the persecution of [HASHTAG]#maxencemelo[/HASHTAG] is a continuation of a war against free speech despite it being constitutional right!

the constitutional rights abusers have been lining themselves as respecters of the law!

the cybercrime act 2015 does not empower the police to engage in a fishing expedition

police is not accusing JF of any wrongdoing but is pressuring the JF originator to reveal identities of JF contributors despite the contributors not being accused of violating any law!

this is atypical fishing expedition which the cybercrime act does not entertain

pseudonym is part and parcel of freedom of expression which are pillars of freedom of conscience and independent thinking

cybercrime act has not criminalized pseudonym and the police is abusing its authority

my understanding of whistleblower and protection act of 2015 the rights of defending the interests of republic are overriding even the cybercrime act

so are the rights to access of information

pseudonym is also protected under the rights to privacy

so the prosecution of [HASHTAG]#maxencemelo[/HASHTAG] is ill-advised, overreaching and an abuse of police powers

taxation policies are also in dire need of a revamp if tax compliance is to be reasserted

part of the problem in taxation policies is a failure to define the term "poverty line"

admittedly, there are half-heartedly exertions to shield low income earners from paying income tax but that effort is not extended upon costs of basic necessities such as shelter

rental tax laws that require tenant to collect 10% of the rental income of more than Tshs 500, 000/= per annum cannot be implemented without struggling tenants shooting themselves on the knee

the leverage in tenancy-landlord relationship is held by the latter

to obey the tax laws, the tenant cannot collect the 10% of rental income from the ever-powerful landlady but will have to fork out from his own anemic pockets if the tax law is to be followed to the letter
