Confirming beyond reasonable doubt the Mwinyi engineered purge was a very cold calculated move to punish a coterie of senior Nyerere holdout politicians to create many vacancies to reward his own minions

What pissed off Mr. Qorro was not the purge itself

Qorro alluded to deprivation of soft land was the real reason his political rivals in Karatu were weaponized

Qorro was always in acerbic mood reciting how his Karatu political rivals alleging he was left cold by Mwinyi because he was utterly incompetent

He lamented few knew that it was his candid revelation of who was best to succeed Nyerere was his undoing
