Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

It also hints the war against official graft never took off as braggarts have been attempting to throw spanners in the fireworks

Mayoral melee has nothing to do with democracy but controlling municipal graft

It is all about controlling municipal jobs from cleaning to construction

Regrettably, Juma Mwapachu was right though sounded more cynical than truthful then when he rejoined ccm.

Ghastly, he conceded rejoining ccm was all about his belly worshipping including of his buddies too!

He intoned his business interests and of his buddies were at stake!

Ironically, pandering to Lowassa had similar hallmarks: he divulged a top diplomat plum offer placated his ditching ccm for the opposition.

In his cold calculations, the then impending Lowassa triumph could have catapulted his personal fortunes unto dizzying heights!


No ideological inclinations were behind changes of political loyalty for this chameleon and most of his fraternity!

Ideology has been slaughtered in the get rich mentality spurred by market Keynesian economics!

No wonder, all government plum jobs have everything to do with rewarding loyalty at the altar of meritocracy

We are also witnessing a grand scale of opposition luminary political persecutions

History is replete with the despicable evidence of ruling regimes that have lost all pretences to legitimacy to govern targeting existential threats to perpetually defer their demise.

And ccm is displaying the same doting trends.

Targeting Sumaye 30 acres for reacquisition while pampering Mkapa & co who hold similar "treasure troves" with decades of hibernation is a political fodder for serious musing.

Political persecutions have left Lowassa supporters both within and outside the regime gnashing and squirming in pain.

The humiliating axing of the ambassador and once a powerful minister in JK administration one Ms. Baltida Salha Burian - a known Lowassa sidekick - is a mere tip of this political turbulent iceberg.

The efforts undertaken to protect past criminal offences for regime fanatics also spell troubled waters for impartiality to the rule of law.


The sushing of overinvoicing of Kigamboni bridge among overt crimes against us and the manner the suspects are being protected indicate more of "biz as usual" than a no nonsense demeanor portrayed on political stumps!

Where alien dependent industrialization starved of environmental and labour standards legislative efforts is hailed as a new dawn to job creation no one within the corridors of power is willing to exculpate it for jettisoning "Kilimo Kwanza" still believed to prioritize rural development!

Rural marginalization remains a damning fact in unabated rural urban migrations suffocating the aspirations of equitable human development.

Needs no reminder targeting agriculture will benefit most Tanzanians who eke out their living from it.

Small scale factories require massive reforms in taxation regimes, infrastructural priorities and education policy uturns unprecedented in our five plus decades of post colonial reign.

An axiom reminding us wishes and reality seldom coincide should douse any schmaltzy towards euphoriant rhetoric.

Day dreaming can be a fleeting depression reliever but confronting harsh realities earlier is the best remedy.

On one hand there are promises of new dawn but on the other hand we see junkies being recycled aiming to play the same old tunes but expecting hearkening a different melody is the stature of insulation and aloofness!

Let us harness our expectations from utopia to reality

From what I have seen, so far, mere words and recycling of failed hands can only succeed in worsening our plight.

Change of guard seems more of a window dressing but deprived of substance!

The Morocco benevolence strikes me like official bribes
