I am not sure if you are insinuating that I am in an way connected to the Police Force. I am not.

What I would have liked to hear is that results from constituency XXX which were signed by representatives of all political parties showed that Ukawa got 1000 votes for its presidential candidate but during the tallying process the figure was other than 1000. The results from the constituents were available to everyone and the way they contributed to the last sum was also common knowledge. Let me know if it was otherwise.

Good point but the police have thwarted that effort when they looted three tallying UKAWA offices and one NGO of their computer glutted election results data so we need an independent commission just like in Kenya after 2007 election mayhem to establish the truth.

In Africa we need very strong institutions capable of transforming negative social-economic and political challenges/setbacks towards sustainable positive ones..Its no longer about distinctive qualities of an individual leader but visionary institutions loaded with long term development missiles. However,lets utilize each and every communication platform to advise JPM honestly on constructive measures,Steps,solutions,approach and strategies to be applied so as to arrive where we wish to see the country after 50 to 100 yrs.

That advise commences with investigating NEC to establish beyond reasonable doubt who really won the presidential election of 2015.

We have always been long on applauding both the effort and intent but short in appraising the effectiveness of drastic measures declared and vigorously pursued by our post colonial administrations.

Nyerere was lauded for Azimio la Arusha but he later admitted the policy tools and directions were faulty, and economic decimation was all too much of an eyesore to all of us. The legacy of Nyerere administration will always be soiled by sheer levels of economic mismanagements despite genuine efforts to address causes and effects of our underdevelopment.

Mwinyi administration was accorded a red carpet reverence for the frantic effort to undo "Nyerereism" via the antithesis of the Zanzibar declaration but we all know better the indigenization of our economy took a back seat as the economy was placed in grubby hands of aliens.

Mkapa administration cemented official graft while its successive administration of Jakaya Kikwete approved it in all its pernicious forms.

Then comes Magufuli administration while a couple of weeks in office seems lacking ideas of how to reform the government, and has so far been generating plenty of heat but very little substance.

Sweeteners may taste good on mouth but in the stomach are likely to foment gastric juice notorious for corroding the intestines. What this nation needs is reforms on good governance where accountability has been sacrificed at the altar of nepotism and sycophancy.

We need to restore pre-independence accountability if we are to reach where a president has no business to snatch duties and responsibilities of his juniors but to oversee them.

For start, he needs to acknowledge NEC ought to be fully investigated by an impartial commission how it conducted this election despite its numerous vain claims that the election was free, fair and transparent. We need a legislation to empower that commission but we also need the same commission to investigate thoroughly how this very partisan police interfered with the electoral process. We cannot face another election where UKAWA are adamant they were shortchanged and we have a president who may or may not be a squatter at our IKULU pretending to bribe us with "peremende" and expect for a different result.

On government splurge, we need concrete policies and pieces of legislation like capping staff emoluments based on a ratio of recurrent expenditure. What I have seen; so far, is a battle of nomenclatures which past administrations fought with equal zeal but lost because they never identified policy tools to do it.

No room for re-election, my friend. Think big and forward.

Whatever you think about him, this is a world - historical individual. Not simply for being the president of the URT but for being an extraordinary president in many ways. Now, It is difficult to imagine anything more impressively Tanzanian than John Pombe Magufuli.

Hivi haya yote anayoyafanya huyaoni? You live in this backward little information bubble that excludes all factual information that doesn't conform to your narrow little view.

Magufuli will be remembered as one of the best and is already highly regarded despite your negative echo chamber.

Tanzania is bigger than individuals. They come and go but the motherland always outlive them.

So should we cleave upon ephemeral individuals or target lasting mantles?
 
Rutashubanyuma, much as I didn't support JPM's bid for presidency, after he was declared the winner I decided I would give him a chance, a chance to prove me wrong. I gave him 90 days and presently 73 days have gone by; like a vulture I am patiently waiting, waiting to see what those I disagreed with saw in him and wondering how I could have missed the signs of a good leader in the making. Please bear with me...for now I will reserve my comments for another 17 days. Granted there are people out there who will question my 90 days (three months) claiming that is too short a period of time but I intend to answer all my critics.

I will make but one request though...as the discussion in this thread is being conducted in English, will all those who cannot follow stay out please? There are so many threads out there where they can express their views in a language they are better conversant with. I make this request in good faith and with no malice whatsoever.

We are not only discussing just an individual, we are discussing about John Pombe Magufuli as a current president of Tanzania.

What can other countries and their leaders learn from Tanzania under his excellency.

Magufuli introduce the new form of ruling especially to our own continent. The truth is while most leaders are busy scheming on how to empty the government coffers to enrich themselves, and plunging their countries into conflicts.

Every era has its own experience and achievement; from Mwalimu Nyerere under Socialism and Self reliance, from Mzee Ally Hassan Mwinyi under Free Economic Market, from Benjamin Mkapa under Capitalization and Khalfan Kikwete under Oligarchy.

Glad people outside the country have started noticing the people in Tanzania's so called shining facade.

We were in serious trouble and Tanzania has been being pillaged by certain businessmen for the past 10 years.

And the future of nation can be determined through her leader, the one acting on top and not the form of government.

And John Pombe Magufuli is our hope, a political and economical redeemer. Though there are still problems and challenges to be sure, but Tanzania is going to be a good model for the rest of the continent.

Is there any nobility in rigging an election and thereafter climbing a higher moral ground via finger pointing and persecuting the sardines hoping that we shall forget and forgive how you looted your way to public office?

Is there any nobility in crying foul and lamenting on the unfounded inuendos instead of conceding that actually you were bitten ?
 
For some of us with experience of the mind set and management of JPM we waned that JPM is a good supervisor not even a manager leave alone a president. Two things should remind everyone of the JPM character

1. He refused to appear before a high court as an accomplice to charges facing Dr Kafumu of Tabora
2. He scolded the Kigamboni residents to swim across the channel if they can not pay the ferry fare

You can dig his background and you will know that he is doing what his subconscious has in store.

The niggling question remains did he win or stole his way to STATE HOUSE?

God is our only hope not His creations for very obvious reasons. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End!

17 days is around the corner but I know a pretender when I scent his odour a couple of miles away!
