A couple of ccm errants have gone home to roost after tasting the politics of the wilderness in the opposition with no plum jobs to share are back to the party of "baba na mama" where with garlanded help from NEC government largesse is there for nitpicking!
 
Did you hear what the incumbent ccm secretary general said?

He pledged the ccm central committee's total dedication unto the new spirit of hardworking, morality and loyalty to the new chairman.

The question that quietly kept popping up in mind was: are those ethos not dedicated before the change of guard in the ruling party?

Equally jaw dropping is a question what kind of ethos did the central committee dedicated itself during the Jk era?
 
When will the police begin to protect us rather than the status quo?

Thereafter this will be a better place to live not in some fictitious animal farm where some animals are more equal than others.

As the status quo demand more security than the rest of us the gist has to be why?

Protecting them from what if not their own insatiable avarice
 
I did not know till yesterday JK was the Bagamoyo president and not a national one till I heard his valedictory speech there!

It is sad in 21st Century we still churn out tribal leaders masquerading as national ones.
 
The Machinga complex scams is a damning reminder of what is wrong with this nation.

There was a smattering of erecting a superstructure to ease the burden of hawkers littering our roads unto an eyesore.

Both NSSF as a lending institution and Dar City as a chronic debtor had a moral duty to carry out this project in a manner that will respect the project objectives which were to provide low income hawkers with affordable places to sell their products.

But these honourable project objectives were treated with contempt when project costs became extortionate and unpayable risking the underlying assumptions behind the vision and mission statements of the project.

Project costs laden by outsize interest rates, over invoiced construction costs and NSSF gazumping tendencies have made the Machinga Complex untenable to its ultimate clients who cannot and should not subsidize the snowballing swag.

So the loan repayment obligations has more than quadrupled with income revenue behoves a drop in the ocean.

Both NSSF and Dar City have a case to answer for undermining the project objectives because the Machinga Complex will soon witness ownership rights change hands to surrender to ruthless demands imposed by a hidden yet powerful hand of the market.

Maybe these were ulterior project objectives: pretending to serve the weaklings but really finding an excuse to kick them out after being slighted by a torpedoed balance sheet!
 
You will be surprised to learn the then Mayor of Dar City is the member of the central committee of CCM.

More troubling he will not be taken to court to answer these heinous charges against the people of this country.

Equally alarming is some of NSSF and Dar City bosses who had a motive to thwart project objectives to sate personal interests are without criminal duress over these heinous issues.
 
How do we define a dictatorial administration? The best example is during the mayhem of Pinochet rule in Chile.

He curtailed freedom of expression as a scapegoat to develop his nation only later to be criminally prosecuted for gross violations of human rights.

Our post independence experiences are replete with cases of repressions of freedoms of expression despite those rights being anchored in our constitution.

However the Magufuli administration so far is the most overzealous to curb constitutional rights such as freedoms of expression parlaying development demands trump those rights.

The Pinochet experience has proven beyond reasonable doubt abuses of human rights grow unabated whenever dissent is muzzled.

So the enforcement costs to decimate constitutional rights pertaining to freedom of expression in a form of reducing this great nation unto a state police, business foreclosures during unconstitutionally criminalized political demonstrations and resources dissipated in criminal and civil prosecutions makes any verifiable cost cutting measures looks not only symbolic but far more important impotent to take us to the Promised Land.
 
It took Chadema a couple of years to appreciate judicial interventions are slow, costly and often unsuitable to address pressing undermined political rights such as freedoms of expression.

Their current option to carry out a national level demonstrations will alarmingly overstretch our under resourced yet very partisan police force and will flicker out whatever emblems of "sparks for a new dawn" the rulers of the day had been bragging to have pioneered!

This could proffer Chadema and Co. a platform to launch far reaching reforms to our skewed electoral process which is behind the misplaced arrogance, pride, and intransigence now part of métier of the Magufuli administration.
 
Judge Mutungi needs to be a fairer arbitrator but not take sides.

As the registrar of political parties ought to rebuke the police declaration that thwarts constitutional rights of political parties including the rights to organize, communicate and express themselves as they deem it fit.

Red flagging only the opposition is prejudicial to the impartiality which his office must uphold notwithstanding the cravings of the rulers of the day to reduce our democratic rights under multi-party unto the relics of mono party.

I think, it is not possible for him to point a finger to police declaration as he is an appointee of the president so he has to act to reflect his interest. Also, timidity that they experience from his appointer is another issue that obstruct them to raise a sad cry and shout against the aforementioned situation.
 
The summarily dismissal of Ms. Mbilinyi to head Bagamoyo municipal council after few days of appointment shows this administration has no respect to justice but far more pertinent is NEC will never run a free and fair election until it severed colonial ties with its election agent which is the amenable local government!

Well said but if he is a belly worshiper the best strategy is to keep his silence rather than attempting to remove a smote in Chadema while a monstrous beam in his eye is blocking his own sight.
 
Nothing but hypocrisy
This is why some of us are very critical of both the Warioba circus and the unconstitutional effort to change the constitution for want of accountability which in part has to do with lack of security of tenure for holders of constitutional offices.

The registrar of political parties bootlicks her appointers partially because he lacks security of tenure: a pensive constitutional aberration.
 
CHAMA CHA DEMICRASIA NA MAENDELEO CHADEMA CHA KOSA PA KUSHIKA

SIKU moja baada ya Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema) kutangaza nia ya kufanya mikutano ya hadharani nchini kote kuanzia Septemba Mosi kutokana na sababu mbalimbali, taasisi na wadau mbalimbali wamelaani mpango huo.

Akizungumzia hilo, Msajili wa Vyama vya Siasa nchini, Jaji Francis Mutungi amesema amepokea kwa masikitiko makubwa tamko hilo, huku Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) kikijitokeza na kulaani mpango huo.

Wengine waliopinga mpango huo ni wasomi wakiwemo Profesa wa Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam anayejipambanua katika siasa za upinzani, aliyewahi kuwa mwanachama wa Chadema, Dk Kitila Mkumbo na wachambuzi wa Siasa kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam Dk Benson Bana na Dk Bashiru Ally.

Msajili vyama vya siasa alaani
Akizungumzia tamko hilo la Chadema, Jaji Mutungi alisema limejaa lugha ya uchochezi, kashfa, kuudhi na lenye kuhamasisha uvunjifu wa amani.

Alisema kimsingi Sheria ya Vyama vya Siasa namba 5 ya mwaka 1992 kifungu (2) (c) inakataza chama cha siasa kutumia au kuhamasisha matumizi ya nguvu au vurugu kama njia ya kufikia malengo yake kisiasa.

Alisema aidha kifungu cha 9 (2) (f) kinakataza chama cha siasa kuruhusu wanachama au viongozi wake kutumia lugha ya matusi, kashfa na uchochezi ambayo inaweza kusababisha au kupelekea kutokea uvunjifu wa amani.

Alisema pia kanuni ya Maadili ya Vyama vya Siasa, Tangazo la Serikali namba 215, linakataza chama cha siasa kutumia lugha za matusi, kashfa, uongo na uchochezi.

Alisema Kanuni ya 5 (1) (d) inakitaka chama cha siasa kutotoa maneno yoyote au maandishi ambayo ni uongo, kuhusu mtu yeyote au chama cha siasa chochote. “Hivyo tamko la Chadema ni ukiukwaji wa Sheria ya Vyama vya Siasa.

Aidha, hii si mara ya kwanza kwa Chadema kutumia lugha za namna hii za kuhamasisha uvunjifu wa amani.

“Natumia fursa hii kukemea tamko hilo hadharani, kwa mujibu wa kanuni ya 6 (2) ya Kanuni za Maadili ya Vyama vya Siasa, pia nawaasa Chadema wasiendeleze tabia hii,” alisema Jaji Mutungi.

Alisema dhamana aliyopewa kama Msimamizi wa Sheria ya Vyama vya Siasa kazi yake ni kuviasa vyama vyote vya siasa vitimize wajibu wao kwa weledi kama taasisi za kisiasa.

“Ni vyema viongozi wa vyama vya siasa wakaonesha taswira stahiki ya wanasiasa wakomavu, au vyama vya siasa vya kutolea mfano ndani na nje ya mipaka yetu, kwa kuzingatia sheria za nchi katika kuendesha shughuli za kisiasa. “Vyama vya siasa viepuke vitendo, kauli au matamshi yenye mlengo wa kusababisha uchochezi au kufarakanisha umma na serikali yao. Navisihi kuzingatia utaratibu wa mawasiliano kwa mujibu wa sheria zilizopo, aidha uvumilivu wa kisiasa katika azma za kudumisha ukuaji wa kidemokrasia nchini haukwepeki,” alisema Jaji Mutungi.

CCM wajibu mapigo
Katika hatua nyingine CCM imeionya Chadema kuacha kupotosha umma na kutaka kuwaaminisha wananchi uongo wanaoutunga ili kujaribu kupata wafuasi.

Aidha, imewataka Watanzania kupuuza maandamano yaliyopangwa kufanywa na Chadema kwa kuwa ni ishara ya kuchochea uvunjifu wa amani, huku ikiwataka viongozi hao wanaoshinikiza maandamano kuandamana na familia zao.

Msemaji wa CCM, Christopher ole Sendeka alisema Dar es Salaam jana kuwa tamko lililotolewa na Chadema la kupanga kufanya mikutano ya hadhara nchi nzima kuanzia Septemba Mosi mwaka huu, limejaa uongo na ubabaishaji na linaonesha kuwa wapinzani wamekosa ajenda na njia pekee wanayoona inafaa ni kutunga utapeli, uongo na uzushi.

Alisema kimsingi hoja walizotumia kufikia uamuzi wao bila kuzirudia zimejaa upotoshaji na uongo uliokithiri.

Alisema kwa mfano chama hicho kimekuwa kikidai serikali imezuia mikutano yote ya vyama vya siasa huku wakijua jambo hilo si kweli. “…Wamekuwa wakisema hivyo huku wakijua kuwa ni uongo kwani serikali haijazuia mikutano. Kwenye majimbo wabunge wao wako huru kufanya shughuli zao, tumeona wabunge wakifanya mikutano kwenye majimbo ikiwemo wa upinzani,” alisema Ole Sendeka.

Alisema vyama vya siasa kufanya shughuli zao kwa mujibu wa Katiba si kosa na wala si jambo ambalo limezuiliwa na ndio maana imeshuhudiwa vyama vya siasa vikifanya mikutano yao ya kikatiba bila tabu.

Ole Sendeka alisema jambo lingine ambalo ni hoja za uongo na uzushi ni kuwa Serikali ya Awamu ya Tano ni ya kidikteta, na alihoji udikteta wanaousema Chadema ni upi? “Ni huu wa kushughulikia watumishi hewa, ni huu wa kuwabana wakwepa kodi, ni huu wa kupunguza na kudhibiti safari za nje, ni huu wa kubana matumizi ya serikali, ni huu wa kufukuza wazembe na wabadhirifu kazini? “Hivi udikteta huo ni huu wa kushughulikia mafisadi na mpaka kuanzisha Mahakama yao?” Alihoji Msemaji huyo wa CCM.

Alisema CCM inaamini Watanzania wengi wanaunga mkono hatua zinazochukuliwa na Rais John Magufuli na serikali yake, lakini kama hatua hizo Chadema inaona ni udikteta bila shaka wao ni sehemu ya mfumo mbovu na ndio maana wako tayari kuleta vurugu.

Wasomi UDSM wafunguka
Wakitoa maoni wasomi wa Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam, Profesa Mkumbo, Dk Bashiru na Bana walikosoa mpango huo wa Chadema. Profesa Mkumbo alisema vyama vya siasa vina wajibu wa kulinda misingi ya demokrasia lakini pia vina haki ya kupigania kufanya shughuli za siasa ingawa si kwa mapambano.

Alisema ni muhimu vyama vya siasa kujenga amani ya nchi lakini akasema ni muhimu pia kwa Jeshi la Polisi kutoa ufafanuzi zaidi kuhusu kupinga mikutano ya hadhara kwa vyama vya siasa.

“Pande zote mbili yaani Jeshi la Polisi na vyama vya siasa vipeane nafasi kila mmoja, bila kuvuruga shughuli za maendeleo, kulindwa kwa demokrasia na kuiendeleza,” alisema Profesa Mkumbo.

Naye Dk Bashiru alisema kauli ya kufanya mikutano nchi nzima ni vyema ikafafanuliwa, kuhojiwa au kutafsiriwa na taasisi za kidemokrasia ikiwemo Ofisi ya Msajili wa Vyama vya Siasa ambayo inasiamamia sheria za vyama vya siasa.

Alisema taasisi hiyo itoe ufafanuzi kwa kuzingatia sheria ili kuongoza kauli naI vitendo vitolewavyo na vyama vya siasa katika kukuza demokrasia, pamoja na kuangalia matakwa ya wanasiasa ili isiwe ni kuvuruga misingi I mamlaka.

Alisema hakuna mahali utaratibu, sheria na kanuni zinafuatwa kiholela, na kwamba uholela haujengi demokrasia bali ni chanzo cha chuki na hata kuumiza, hivyo yawepo mazungumzo ili kufikia muafaka na kama yupo asiyeridhika aende Mahakamani.

Kwa upande wake Dk Bana alisema kukaidi agizo linalotolewa na vyombo vya dola sio jambo jema na kwamba ni vyema kuheshimu ikiwa ndio njia ya kukuza demokrasia. Alisema kama chama hicho kinaona hakiridhiki na maagizo hayo wanaweza kutafuta ufumbuzi wake kwa kwenda Mahakamani ili kuitafuta huko.

Akizungumzia sakata hilo, Dk Bana alisema mpango huo si suluhisho la maridhiano ya kisiasa na badala yake utaleta vurugu na kuchochea uvunjifu wa amani.

Alisema Chadema wanapaswa kuachana na mpango huo na badala yake waombe kuonana na Rais Magufuli na viongozi wengine wa Serikali ili kuwasilisha hoja zao kuhusu mambo wanayoona hayaendi sawa, akisema Rais Magufuli ni msikivu.

‘Kutumia ubabe hakuwezi kuzaa mwisho mwema kwao, wangeweza pia kulitumia Bunge lakini walilikwepa, hivyo si njia za kiungwana kufanya mikutano hiyo kwa nchi nzima na watambue kuwa hawatoungwa mkono,” alisema Dk Bana.

Kuhusu kumwita kiongozi wa nchi dikteta, Dk Bana alihoji kama kitendo cha kutumbuliwa kwa majipu na mafisadi kimewaudhi au walitaka atumie sindano kubwa ama ndogo ili aweze kutimiza azma hiyo na wao waweze kufurahia.

Alisema Watanzania wameshaona mwanga wakitambua kuwa Rais Magufuli ndiye kiongozi wamtakaye na anaongoza serikali waitakayo na hivyo ni vigumu kuwaaminisha vinginevyo kama wanavyotaka kufanya Chadema.

What further proof of bureaucratic prejudice from the very politicized office of the Registrar of political parties do we need?
 
The summarily dismissal of Ms. Mbilinyi to head Bagamoyo municipal council after few days of appointment shows this administration has no respect to justice but far more pertinent is NEC will never run a free and fair election until it severed colonial ties with its election agent which is the amenable local government!

1. Is respect for justice measured by the length of time between the date of an appointment to office and the date of revocation of the appointment? Pathetic!
2. "... NEC will never run a free and fair election until ..." Is this a statement of fact or your own opinion?

You are out of touch of the real issues behind this sacking.

She gave evidence in a court of law against a ccm parliamentary aspirant leading to the opposition triumph and after her reappointment ccm zealots complained and the ignominious sacking followed.

Had NEC not employing the services of local government in the last election she would not have deponed any evidence and her appointment would not have been subjected to the witch hunting.

The marriage of convenience between NEC and local government as its election supervising agent removes all kinds of pretence of a free and fair election.

Local government employees are holding their posts at the pleasure of appointer which has vested interests to rig an election to his favour.

Sometimes a little humility in declaring ignorance saves nine while arrogance which only succeeds in displaying your folly sucks!

So in short no correlation of this stinking appointment with democratic credentials as you had wittingly alleged.

And no opinion but restating the facts as they are.....
