Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

This is why laws for commoners leave us shortchanged

It is because national leaders do not feel the pain of laws for commoners

Unless constitutional deference against such discrimination is observed expect our tax money continue to enrich national leaders at our expense

Whether it is pension, emoluments, tax obligations or even security commoners bear the brunt while national leaders continue living above our means

Road accidents are often erroneously blamed on hapless drivers.

But driver errors and blunders though a contributing factor does not shed the whole story

The carnage in our pathetic roads remain unresearched subject and or underwhelmed by the politics to exploit the few poorly designed and constructed roads for canvassing political mileages

More than ninety percent of head on collisions are caused by dual carriageways constrained in very narrow lanes compounded by unacceptable levels of SSD or short sighting distance

We have traffic police not trained in road safety beyond road signage and as result to abruptly stultifying the road accident enquiries they blame on recklessness of over speeding drivers!

Part of problem of misdiagnosis of any problem is solutions tend to be misleading and overall ineffective in tackling the niggling issues at hand.

Our roads carnage has also been misdiagnosed and the real causes of our roads being converted unto graveyards been unwittingly shushed

Narrow lanes make vehicle overtaking or bypassing perilous undertaking but because pointing on this weakens the political class nobody is willing to highlight them

The cost of road construction continue to rise in extortionate manner while quality of roads constructed continue to plummet

There is a symbiotic association between wastrel of public funds in road construction with the politics of survival now a national eyesore

Unscrupulous road contractors teaming up with public servants at Tanroads funnel illicit money to fund election campaigns

It is a small wonder no TANROAD top official has ever been arraign in a court of law to answer charges of official corruption

It is because targeting TANROADS for antigraft onslaught is unlikely because it will weaken the political class whose only claim to power is in legitimization of official graft in the first place

One TANROADS CEO had attempted to carry meaningful reforms in the entity only to be hounded out of office by the now president when running the infrastructure ministry

During the last general election no one benefited from TANROADS dirty money than the hitherto president

From CCM presidential nomination process to the general election, TANROADS and top road contractors oiled his campaign machinery
