Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

But either side will still brag it is the change we all quested for!

So UKUTA is just another distraction and should be viewed in that binocular

With ccm and chadema forming an axis of evil therefore their antagonistic stance is part of a well orchestrated deceit to the electorate rendering either of the choices far short of our collective aspirations

We are in a cliff hanger and only God can redeem us from the humiliating poverty engulfing the national consciousness

It is when their personal freedoms were jeopardized that the chadema principals cowered and released UKUTA to fall on its own crushing weight.

The cost assessment to the credibility of chadema principals while some of their surrogates are locked behind bars has only begun.

Those behind bars may feel cheated, abandoned and the justice cause they fought so bravely undermined and Mbowe's equivocation fell short of those aspirations.

But Chadema's capitulation should not be misread by ccm as a victory

If they do it will be a colossal error of judgment

As the true face comes to the fore the Burkina Faso style of violent demonstrations may be triggered off where its leadership will lack clarity and difficult to pursue and neutralize.

Reminder of Saddam Hussein or Muammar Gadaffi

The Americans through military interventions successful neutralized both of these threats

But once the threats melted away a more ominous threat filled the vacuum they left behind

The new leadership has little to lose but a lot to gain by standing up for what they believe in

The US and its allies could have negotiated with Saddam Hussein and Kadaffi and the world would have been a much better place to live

On similar footing, ccm has more to gain having discredited chadema on a negotiating table rather than ignoring and weakening it further which will pave way for a Burkina Faso style of movement whose lasting ramifications could be difficult to extrapolate.

The leverage on chadema is working but squeezing them out altogether will usher in a class revolution which political parties will have neither role nor leverage to play.

That is watershed few are willing to consider.

So the winner takes all mentality is myopic and quite counterproductive

Ironically, it has been the bane of contemporary African renaissance!
