Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

Fewer buses to absorb peak hour demand

It is common to see passengers scrambling for few seats because buses are insufficient during peak hours

Runaway maintenance and running costs are now eating the profits

Procurement niggling issues too suffocate expansion of asset base.

My concern hiking bus fares will only succeed to drive away disenchanted passengers now miffing over fifty cents non refundable for inexcusable lack of pocket change!

In a nutshell, hiked fares may reduce DART unto a white elephant!

Allowing DART to die a natural death and readvertizing the project to accommodate at least four competitors will nullify most hitches associated with monopolistic DARTS

The wayward opposition are back on this cloying subject.

The more I listen at them the more I wonder will they ever be ready to lead?

In the Augusta House the same topic of presidential trips is harped once again

The overseas trips can only be gauged in terms of their quantities from the budget

How many trips were budgeted?

Without reference to the budget the whole discussion makes no sense.

You can criticize the trips are too many if and only if the budget is busted.

You can criticize them for being too few if they are below those budgeted for

I have looked at the budget and those budgetary guidelines are lacuna!

To get to the bottom of the efficacy of those trips let us put budgetary benchmarks which are really SMART.

Yes!
SMART meaning SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ACHIEVABLE, REALISTIC and TIMED!

Simplistic arguments and counter arguments as witnessed yesterday in the House excelled only to remind us what is in the upstairs of the speakers both sides of the political divide!

There are pertinent issues swirling around the crux of HESB - Higher Education Scholarships Board and the ministry of education.
