Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

How systemic and institutional rigging take place

And how NEC can be forced to create a free, fair and verifiable election environment?

The opposition may probably be not ready to capture power

We say so because it has always been sucked in internal power struggles

It seems they have no burning desire to unseat CCM

We saw them being bought very cheaply with government posts

Our political equation remains a hand to mouth

And as a result, we are surprised why Tundu Lissu failed to seize the moment

Targeting NEC misgivings and its lack if legitimacy need to be embedded in the voters mind

For example the opposition say they want an independent NEC

Nec says a change in a name address the clamour

We know the problem is not in a name

Independence of NEC starts with appointing authority, qualifications of commissioners, security of tenure, non delegation of constitutional onus to presidential appointees in local government but also how it functions

The use of latest technology in transportation and tallying of results demand no constitutional reforms but only a change of attitude of the commissioners

In the last general election, NEC returned over Tshs 7 billion while that cash could have purchased Kims kits and knock out security forces from falsifying of polling stations forms

And would made polling supervisors eunuchs to wrongfully tally polling stations results and declare an election loser as a winner

So Tundu Lissu despite holy intentions to aspire to ace the national policy debate he needs a rethink

Focus on what is wrong with our election and let voters decide the rest

In fact, he needs to make this election is all about the legitimacy of NEC to run this election

Every speech needs to begin with " I have no faith with this NEC because it's structured to rig election
