Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

As the two were engaged in a pillow fight little did they know Nyerere student one Mkapa was also nursing presidential ambitions of his own

Both Malecela and Kolimba were looking for president Mwinyi coronation but didn't know Mwinyi wasn't a man really running the nation but Nyerere was

Mkapa understanding the limitations of governance of Mwinyi playing second fiddle to Nyerere heavily activated charm warfare to Nyerere

He won and the two political obituaries were scribbled in golden ink

The rise and rise of Tanganyika G55 became the duo political graveyard

Nyerere wrote a book targeting the duo as bad leaders for failing to advise the president serikali mbili a cornerstone of G55 buck was not a CCM policy

Kolimba unlike Malecela was slow to appreciate the political terrain had shifted beneath his shaky feet

On his way to an overseas trip, Kolimba remonstrated Nyerere wasn't his boss

That was a last straw that broke a camel 's back

Both Malecela and Kolimba were shown the exit door

Paving space for Nyerere Nyerere former surrogates one Msuya and now CCM Veep replaces the duo

Mkapa somehow became president outwitting even David Msuya

Under Mkapa tutelage the nation embarked on privatisation policy and Kolimba saw an opening to claim relevance in a treacherous political terrain

Kolimba made it known CCM was rudderless and was heading the nation in a wrong direction

Perhaps, he plotted to drive a wedge between Nyerere and his protege Mkapa

While Nyerere was very critical of privatisation policy but acknowledged times have changed and was even sympathetic to the Mkapa regime

Without Nyerere on his red corner clearly Kolimba goose was cooked, eaten and possibly excreted

Mkapa seeing his former political adversary had no Nyerere support he struck the iron while still hot

Through his central committee, Mkapa summoned Kolimba in a special committee to exculpate himself of serious allegations against his inchoate regime

Kolimba began addressing the need of short, medium and long term plans lacking in CCM
