Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

[Escrowseal1]

In Sengerema two public policy statements did shed more light on Magufuli doctrine.

One, the weak are on your own and the government will not rescue you on the hour of need. So when a calamity befalls you the government will look the other way! The notion of caring and kindlier government is now tossed in the air.

So when faced with hunger caused by floods or lack of rain or any reason beyond your ability like force Marjorie the poor should expect their government not to lift them up in the hour of desperate need.

If the government lifts not its heel to help the needy it is an opportunity for the opposition to fill in and show what it will do once in power. An opportunity squandered by ccm should be an opportunity gained to the opposition.

The guy should rather be looked into proffesorior eyes because what he always means is too remote for majority to chew including Lutanini I dont know. Unfortunately very few, for their own reasons squanders the meaning only to spoil the truth.Magufuli uses very sour words only to bold the message to his people. It's clear that Most of our people especially in village never angage in production activities rather than wasting their time unproductively enjoying local brew and so forth.I would say it's high time Magufuli is strictly doing what needed to be done indeed If we realy need just a step foward. I am sure the time will tell and to me our platform here has secured going concern. Mr Luta and the co I wish you all to stay tuned and active to keep exchanging our thoughts.

Mmmmhh!!!

Actually,the guy should learn to think twice before blurting and doing outrageous things with the intention of acquiring reputation from the people who are still in the dark. I could express my complacency to him if he gears workable approach to contingency he vowed not to help victims of the aforementioned situations.

Daunting and using arrogant words will never be a scalable solution. He should adhere the laws as he vowed to observe them accordingly.

However, changes never come overnight, it's a time for him to advocate for the reformation of the insular policies, unjust laws rather than gears demented police to Excruciate innocent guys with good intentions of imparting civic education to the citizens.

Finally, Leadership ability, experience and temperament matter.

Thanks but I restrained to say some of his words on the stump are so hilarious but bereft of policy substance.

Police now are licensed to kill! Scary premonition knowing innocent people could be lined up to cloak heinous crimes.

We are urged to dream selling secondhand clothes to the economically and culturally superiors in the western world without evaluating why we are who we are....underachievers!

Police are now licensed to kill and the western world be prepared for an influx of "Mitumba" made and wornout in this banana republic ....this president is hallucinating or else is delusional!

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Dreamer or delusional. As much as we may want to turn the tables with superior Western culture and begin treating them with their "mitumba" medicine the truth is alienated here.

There is nothing on the table to suggest we are in a position to change our underproduction credentials. For start, probably, we need to rebuke the inherent "spirit of tradition" which has condemned us to over rely and get clobbered by deceitful tenets of superstition!

Mr. Salesman is on the stumps again pontificating on why Ikulu will be converted to a museum and the building housing the iconic national heritages will be under the auctioneer hammer.

Again without getting unto the nuts and bolts of this policy decision of daunting ramifications one needs to ask himself why this administration conducts itself in an adhoc manner?

When we built that national heritage house were we wrong to consider a permanent place for garlanding our historical artefacts and contemporary stuff? Is not Ikulu sitting on coastal protected buffer zone and the best option being to bulldoze it unleashing a loud and a clear message: indeed, we mean business!

Prosecuting private investors who are encroaching our protected coast with buildings can only make sense if the government too is not a trespasser of the same laws it intends to enforce.

Getting out of Dar dubbed the "Dodoma migration" is not budgeted so expect a lot of 'weaklings' to miss on the bus as the Dodoma move keep on hurtling dangerously against our comfort buffer zones!

Family planning is a serious business in bringing meaningful development to the underprivileged populace.

It helps distributing meagre family resources in a manner that will ensure every member of a poor family has a best shot at resources needed in equipping one with the knowledge and skills to cope with life formidable challenges.

Beaming family planning in this perspective, it is clear a matter of "life and death" not worthy to be harangued and discredited with promises of perks like free education or/ and nonexistent low taxes for poor families.

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Free education is only a lip service.

Who pays for meals, accommodation, transport, uniforms, stationeries among direct related costs to a real true education? Parents do!

Why mislead your people the education is free while the bulk of its costs still is borne by parents?

Why nudge poor parents to whet their fertility rates and shortchange themselves with added responsibilities of feeding additional mouths beyond their means?

Are we responsible leaders or we have no inkling of the gravity of our reckless utterances just to squeeze a few claps and spur fleeting idolization?

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Of all of Obama speeches relevant to the Magufuli administration are the ones he volunteered in South Africa and Egypt.

Obama bemoaned Africa's obsession with "big men" while true African needs are found in "big ideas".

Big men idolization is behind our continuing hostility to dissent which is a vital key to open doors of diversity of ideas necessary for optimal decision making.

Big man concept is anchored on fallacious claim of winning a whacked election. So the winner takes it all regardless of constitutional imperatives of protecting and defending our diversity.

So the winner takes it all guides the Magufuli administration to violate constitutional rights of the opposition averring us to unite behind the electoral winner notwithstanding our ambivalences he is taking the nation along a dangerous and wrongfully path of development as a result of alienation of those in the rival corner...

Is the regional commissioner running government agencies or is he encroaching and hence trespassing on others' administrative territory?

Do the R.C hold any arresting powers like a D.C or invoking them is a colossal abuse of public office.

One R.C is really walking in a tightrope after his orders to a NEMC official run into a wall and coming to terms with his public humiliation he has order the disobedient NEMC official be remanded.

The official in question defends himself the R.C is neither appointing nor disciplinary authority so the bureaucrat feels he is under no obligation to honour the R.C's orders.

The bureaucrat is adamant, he is only answerable to his Board of Directors and the minister responsible for the environment.

This altercation resurfaces a very cogent policy issue of relevance and effectiveness of the Regional commissioner's office in the TWENTY FIRST CENTURY.
Do we still need these guys to begin with given and appreciating their colonial legacy, unaccountability to the people they purport to lead and gargantuan budget they ALWAYS binge on annual basis?

The warioba commission sidestepped this issue on treacherous feint the matter was not a UNION one and the unconstitutional "constituent assembly" just regurgitated the regional commissioners' office without benefiting from robust and fruitful debate on relevance issues and its possible alternatives!

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The symbolic gesture inflicting sleepless nights to constitutional aberrants!

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Disposing of government buildings first time around was a colossal error of judgment but repeating the same blunder to sell the government offices is on the verge of recidivism.

First; they had bragged funding Dodoma project cash was no issue but we know it has ALWAYS been a stumbling block. Political will was always there but screeched to a halt by financial constraints.

Government assets ALWAYS are disposed cheap because entrusted sellers are more keen to collect commissions for personal gratification than burgeoning government coffers. Whoever plans buying government houses is expected to pay a considerable markup before he plays...

So no cash of any significance will come from disposal of government buildings but the same government will end up renting them back at exorbitant rental fees.

Let them continue cannibalizing themselves unto a halt! The band keeps playing on.

Not mastering the language confirms the limitations of your academic background and cast serious doubts over whether you have understood what I wrote.

Can an individual be Our Redeemer. How risible to contemplate this let alone inking it for the general public to see what is in your upstairs!

Id like to differ on your views and perceptions of people. You see, mastering the language that is not yours on the first place doesnt make you look better than others especially now in the world where everybody knows English. However if you trully wanted peoples views on your thread rather check the content and not the fluency.[emoji20] Deeply dissapointed na wasomi wa siku iz

Serious concerns remain hanging on air: unsupported wild accusations! While you excoriate my "views and perceptions" but you hang yourself on the rope of my "English proficiency"! The two are not the same! But thank you for the satiric compliment.

So maybe before you scurry to get disappointed with "wasomi wa siku izi" it is worthwhile if you begin reading what I am writing and expose the fallacies there, if any, but divorce language skills with the contents of my discourses.

Whiners of language skills only remind me of their own shortfalls reflected in low self-esteem notwithstanding I conveniently overlook their language deficiencies!

Is this not a case of bipolar? Seeing double visions but trending as normalcy!
Better begin to be disappointed in yourself then it will be a vital small step you have ever taken in the right direction: learning...

Small and medium businesses are driving jobs growth in Tanzania and must continue to do so. They are also most overwhelmingly Tanzanian owned and more likely to reinvest their earnings in future growth, as they seek to build their businesses.

A tax on their businesses is a tax on their enterprise and the jobs they provide. This year we go further and share the ambition for smaller businesses to become bigger businesses. As we all know you cannot be a business person without paying tax.

From 1st July this year, the business tax rate will be increased and the threshold for business able to access it will also be increased. But government don't want these businesses to stop there. The government introduce environmental conditions that will favor our business sectors. Each year government will continue to step up the threshold for access to the standard company tax rate for more businesses.

We will not be able to rely only on our natural advantages in resources to secure jobs of the future like we have in the past. If we wish to continue to see our living standards rise with more jobs and higher wages, we need to ensure our tax system encourages investment and enterprise.

Masunga Maziku where are you? I really admire your comments.

America is global hegemony and it's rule all over the world what makes for unnecessary wars, regimes and interference policies. In simple words, we can say neo-colonialism.

And it's impossible to corporate with the US government because the US government does not want allies, only vassals and natural resources. US foreign policy exists only to achieve the aim of gathering resources regardless of the cost.

But also, the US pre-emptive policy about Tanzania was wrong. Because they were trying to antagonize the nation that is strategically better placed to deal with the issues in East and Central Africa. Every nation wants to trade, buy and sell, share and create a common market with us. So the US alone cannot slice the pie and control us, never ever.!

Magufuli is an example of African leaders who isn't a western stooge. He is exactly opposite what they claimed him to be. His decision to cancel some of Western firm's lucrative government contracts (including Williamson Diamonds Limited and Symbion) will make our country more comfortable after suffering for many years.

In a purposed effort not to send a convincing and powerful anti graft statement neither of these gentlemen will be arraigned in a court of law "very soon" to answer charges of official graft. Only a handful of their handpicked sidekicks will be paraded in antigraft courts to hoodwink the general public that graft is, indeed, being nipped on the bud while the reality it is being transmogrified unto a monstrous entity shaping and refining public policy in this nation like never before!

All the money set for this circus could have been directed to create real jobs for our marauding yet aimless youth.

As much as I sympathize with owners of Mseto tabloid following a ministerial three year suspension but I cannot help but rue lost judicial opportunities to clip ministerial wings behind that interdiction.

The owners of Mseto tabloid are also owners of another once banned tabloid which was rescued by courts: Mwanahalisi tabloid recent unbanning was a laudable gratitude to judicial intervention!

The owners should have gone after statutory perks empowering media responsible minister to crackdown on regime critical news outlets.

Kubenea & co. are neither consummate strategists nor tacticians as a result their piecemeal approaches targeting a specific injustice while not going to ask the courts to declare those laws unconstitutional narrates why they will never find lasting peace in their quest for good governance.

Mwanahalisi tabloid is also under ministerial threat despite recent court triumphs largely because, Kubenea & Co did not target judicial declarations of those draconian laws as unconstitutional.

It came as of little surprise when Nape dangled the same laws as still in books and therefore too legit to be undermined. Was the media minister inkling at Kubenea's mea culpa or that was a mere coincidence?

The speaker of the House got his critical thinking all Topsy-Turvy: leadership has no direct correlation with democracy, period! In fact, most bad or incompetent leaders are democratically elected!

So Ndugai's insinuations against the deputy speaker are not only misleading but are tantamount to character assassination.

Ndugai averred his deputy elevation to deputy speaker is unconventional in Commonwealth which in itself was false. Both ex-speakers Msekwa and his predecessor Adam Sapi - a Mkwawa's grandson during their speaker's tenures did not at all time require holding a constituency as a qualification to be House Speaker.

In fact even our constitution permits the speaker to be elected without holding a constituency rendering Ndugai's averments neither drawn from our parliamentary legislative history nor from our much maligned constitution leaving his ardent views an inspiration of his own misguided volition.

Ndugai whose recuperation from bed sickness appears amnesic awestruck and as a result has been hurling mixed messages! Ndugai ought to be reminded the opposition in the House have many rotten bones to pick against him and the current detente: the lessening of tensions - is because he is pallid and ineffectual.

On one hand he is sounding out a respect to constitutional multipartism but he is also dissing endless campaigns of which his own ccm party is the most impenitent offender!

Ndugai seems bristled by his deputy because the power brokers have earmarked her to replace him sooner than later. With his deteriorating health being an overriding factor, Ndugai should be excused for trepidation and overreaching.
