Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

Well said brother.

I think most African leaders are not well versed with the word leadership. A good leader must have the humility to understand when he is wrong and what can be done so as to rectify his mistake but to African leaders is quite different.

Also, most of them are very good in changing the rules or laws in the middle of the game so as to holding the power.

Frankly they need an education over the criterion of good leadership.

Kudos but a word of caution too. Can we unlearn greed through education? Tricky stuff for our weak flesh!

This regime is in love with pettiness.

Why?

Look at their emotions and synergies let alone high octane decibels leveled against the sardines! From JKNIA to CDA the sardines are on the line of fire as the regime is vying for some vestiges to legitimacy to govern .

But their hypocrisy is a smokescreen for something else.....when it comes to mega scams they bury their heads in the sand....seeing nothing while talking nothing.

Those conspiracy theorists flaunting the idea big scams are conveniently swept under the carpet because there are symbiotic associations with ccm stay in power may have a point worthy investigating.

Not a single top politician has accounted for EPA, TEGETA ESCROW ACCOUNT, DOWANS/RICHMOND or MEREMETA, KIWIRA MINES etc etc

Bootleg from big scams do finance electoral rigging and it narrates why the masterminds are never brooked to a fault!

How do we explain this?

The difference between defunct Dabaga factory and the blossoming Azam is the tax burden.

Dabaga overburdened by taxes and refusing to pay to play went under

When I hear politicians showering praise on Azam as a successful local entity I wish they can also reveal how much taxes are they paying in the last five years.

This should also touch all so called prosperous local entrepreneurship.

Some of regime decisions are jaw dropping.

From nowhere Azam is rewarded with ten thousands acres of land for free after presidential dictum to disown small land players who are now dubbed as conmen

The same regime is on another forum claims will etch laws that will end large tracts of land ownership to reduce the chronic problem of landlessness. Besides, Azam have no record in farming! This broadside may have surprised them as well.

Equivocation seems the hallmark of this administration

Industrial sugar together with importation skewed carte blanches remain a polarizing subject todate.

Discriminatory decisions of favouring one rival company against others is long time ago declared by our highest court unconstitutional and illegal.

Could Azam being pampered for the insidious roles played during the last election?

How can one justify this kind of favouritism.

In 2010, there were unsubstantiated rumours Azam HDVs plying between South Africa and here were caught redhanded carrying huge boxes tamped with cast votes in favour of the ruling party.

Those rumours were vehemently denied by the authorities but knowing they are never impartial those electoral rigging apprehensions continue to gain traction.

When now we see this heavy tipping of business scales in their favour we have every reason to suspect may be those denials were a coverup

Mhh

JPM reminded me of Lowassa when he begged us to leave the whole caboodle of Lugumi scams to him.

Just like his political nemesis Lowassa who disowned all of us in invigilating against vote rigging averring he will deal perpendicularly with the matter himself! When he lost he cried foul not conceding it was mea culpa. Too proud to admit colossal errors of judgment.

So JPM also disowned us on Lugumi when he said " la Lugumi niachieni mimi."

Now the matter seems forgotten and buried after hibernation

Contribute please!

Knee jerky reactions to the student beatings fail to grasp one glaring truth those errant behaviours are now part and parcel of the social fabric we are living in.

If taking the law in ones hands do not invoke the sentiments seen in this one spectacle then ringing warning bells ought to remind us our moral integrity is gone possibly forever.

JPM claims without persuasive evidence that he is a new political breed and an antithesis of the past presidents but is he really what he claims to be?

Let us parse some similarities and differences between Nyerere and him

Nyerere was bequeathed by the British colonial rulers a healthy multiparty democracy only to change into one party rule where pluralism was criminalized and regarded as treason.

Unlike Nyerere, JPM lacks parliamentary support to wipe out multiparty democracy well enshrined in our constitution but his deeds have in almost every way suppressed the pillars of multiparty democracy.

So we can safely say when it comes to pluralism JPM is a poor copycat of Nyerereism

So the braggadocio we see in him is inspired by either lack of understanding of our own history or a convenient amnesia or underestimating our knowledge in own political history.

Nyerere was an unrepentant advocate of state intervention version of indigenous industrialization where extraction of government surplus was directed towards achieving that goal.

Limited by a puny GDP the surplus to be extracted was too minute to support such a gargantuan leap of faith to industrialization

With local input failing to match rhetoric the much berated neo-colonialists were enticed to bail us out
