Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

[Rutashubanyuma]

Policy achievements is an exclusive playground of consensus builders who are passionate and skilled in policy analysis and decision making, a trait which is increasingly rare

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The hitherto regime is unlikely to craft policy signatures that will stand the test of time

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

For that feat is reserved for those who have moral integrity above reproach, policy enthusiasts and consensus builders

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Ironically, in our post colonial rule only Edward Sokoine fitted this leadership bill

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

He was soft spoken

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

His voice could not picked next street

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

He was unfazed by statistics as some do but his sixth sense served him well

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Though soft spoken but when he opened his mouth only wisdom hit our ears and our conscience convicted us

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Sokoine's moral authority was sufficient to get the job done, and he rarely bothered to countercheck whether his precepts have adhered to the letter

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

When a leader issue instructions and still has to personally verify their efficacy then you know he must be morally decadent and as a result not capable of pricking our conscience with a sense of guiltiness in case we disobey the instructions

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

If a leader issues orders and are ignored it says more about his moral character than the behaviour of the wantaways.

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

It is unlikely in the foreseeable future we will produce more ethical leaders in the mould of Sokoine because material success is all what counts

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

A public resources looter is more lauded while a faithful public servant is scoffed and derided!

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

As the culture of get rich quick continue to dominate expect moral leaders to diminish

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

If you have noticed most leaders dotting all spheres of influence sprawling from politics to religion do loudly shout, and the decibels reveal plenty of their moral decay

[Rutashubanyuma]

Sometime in June last year, Ney was slapped with a controversial lifetime ban by Basata

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The lifetime ban was excessive and unjustified

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Basata failed to realize music was Ney's only source of income
