Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

[Rutashubanyuma]

My argument has always been changing manpower infamously as kutumbua majipu without addressing the loopholes in our legal framework that churned out those painful cysts is an exercise in futility

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

So we need to direct ourselves in institutional reforms more than manpower and political parties overhaul because it is the working environment which lacks the four pillars of development

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The pillars of development are democracy, transparency, accountability and participation

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Where few individuals hold more than one position they are reducing the ability for the rest to participate

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

If an MP holds a cabinet position he is denying other another competent individual from performing the functions of a minister

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

If a president is chairperson of a political party he is denying another competent person from holding either of the positions

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Participation also suffers when RC and DC who are also MPs

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Participation also take a hit when members of the judiciary holds executive positions in the government such as chairperson of NEC, Political parties or even the Law Reform or even the Human rights commission etc etc

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The corruption of violations of the doctrine of separation of power are multifarious

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

First, those violations legalize conspiracies of pay to play

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

This is a very delicate subject

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Because to drive points an required to cite specific case studies of pay to play

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

But naming names has one drawback

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The affected parties will feel unfairly targeted

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

And their natural justice to defend themselves violated

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

So to eschew those legal pitfalls am gonna discuss certain situations without concrete examples

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The best example is what JK said during 2010 reelection campaigning

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Admittedly, he was exculpating his government from over dependence to alien loans and aid

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

But still makes plenty of sense in the doctrine of separation of power

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

What he said was: ukitaka kule lazima uliwe
