His dalliance with Muammar Gaddafi as he was seeking to fund his campaign left many CCM zealots worried

He was lending many political ammunition to his political opponents to blow away his candidacy

And his association with Manji family and the bribery bootleg caught by police generated negative publicity

It seems even his mentor JK could not shield Membe from the political fallout which was more of self inflicted wounds

But the fallibility of Membe in no way sanctified Magufuli

Even after purging Chenge holdout the ministry of works continue to face charges of bribery, overinvoicing of contractual works, shoddy works and Tanroads engineers awarding contracts to their companies and those who were politically connected

So Magufuli like Membe were at par in terms of performance

The difference was visibility

When the bishops excoriate the government Membe rendered his reconciliation gesture but was interpreted as interference with clergical duties

For an unexplainable reason those who were paid by South African Bank Stanbic Bank were hidden from public scrutiny!

Again conspiracy theorists had a field day which is anything to go by littered with a plethora of surmised am unwilling to dwell upon...if you know what I mean!
