Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

[Rutashubanyuma]

first, is to outlaw variation orders except those under exceptional circumstances like force marjorie..........

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

variation orders are backdoors to rewrite contracts placing other unsuccessful bidders who lost the job under unfavourable circumstances........

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

criminalize variation orders then we shall be in a lot better shape and no consultant or contractor can get job in the same board of procurement for more than three years that will severe these venal entanglements behind our miser

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

in a nutshell, we have the tools to fix the cowboy contractors but we refuse to do it and the troubling question is why?

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

we also need to revoke laws permitting public servants to do business with their employers......they ought not be allowed to win any contract with their government, at all including their close relatives

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

the dismay I have with this regime is its delight in sensationalizing of the dismissals while those decisions are not the causes but the symptoms of endemic problems

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

fix the governance environment and the players will shape in or be shipped out........it is that simple but putting the players on conveyor-belt never is a game changer but proffer new opportunities to newcomers to rejig the malfeasance and nothing more

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

I have another theory plausible to those eager to invest in telecom companies now downloading the 25% shares at dar stock exchange

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

maybe the nature of their business is too transparent that they cannot hide their profits making it easier for minority shareholders not picking the rotten end of the stick

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

that assumption ought to be tested in due time and meantime investing grudgingly with small amounts could be reasonable

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

find out whether the value of shares will not be overestimated........if you feel they are please do not invest because those are telltales of greed owners who will later under-report their income just to fleece minority shareholders

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

only in developing nations there is overvaluing of paper qualifications

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

most top government jobs are given to doctorate or dons but in developed world emphasis is in experience and results

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

for us nobody is interested in pertinent experience or potentiality as we are enslaved in glorifying paper qualifications and as a result nobody is interested in productivity

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

with productivity never in consideration no wonder economically we will remain underperformers.

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

we are always long in promises of laudable results camouflaging ourselves in bombastic braggadocios like "BIG RESULTS NOW" but time berates us for our collective amnesia of the truth

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

nowhere in our short history we have packed our hopes in paper qualifications like in this regime but five years down the road expect a "mother of all excuses"..........exculpating ourselves from obvious nonperforming.........

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

In USA, as an example, no one wants to be addressed as a doctor in public service........look at Condoolesa Rice or Susan Rice few know or care to know both are academic doctorate holders and the former a professor of Russian studies to boot

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

but here from forged certificates to overvalued ones, we never stop glorifying paper qualifications as tools of intimidation

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

unless this attitude is flipped expect more quacks masquerading as geeks in our public service leading to incompetent minds managing our economy to abyss......
