"No nation has the right to make decisions for another nation; no people for another people."
Julius Kambarage Nyerere, from his A Peaceful New Year speech given in Tanzania on 1 January 1968. -
ON MY OPINION:We should NOT let ICC decision on Dowans be our decision. We have our own State (Government), our own Legislature and our own Court/Judiciary System.If these three organs function responsibly with accountability, they are enough to decide NOT TO PAY DOWANS for our National Interest. ICC is NOT part of our Court System, then, they have NO right to make decisions for us.
We should adhere to the following Nyerere's quote:-
"...intellectuals have a special contribution to make to the development of our nation, and to Africa. And I am asking that their knowledge, and the greater understanding that they should possess, should be used for the benefit of the society of which we are all members."
Julius Kambarage Nyerere, from his book Uhuru na Maendeleo (Freedom and Development), 1973. -
MY ADVICE:- Leaders of this country,I am really sure that, you got Education during President Nyerere's time, then you are included in the group of "intellectuals" he was talking about. Please DO NOT FAIL HIM,Do not fail J.K Nyerere. Leaders of this country, Use your knowledge,skills, attitude and good conduct for the benefit of the People. Leaders of this country, you should also let free, afford, assist,guide,enable and lead the whole process of making sure that the young/junior and senior intellectuals of this country are fully involved
Leaders of this country, you should not forget but remember the following words from "UHURU NA MAENDELEO BY J.K NYERERE"
"Uhuru na Maendeleo ni vitu vinavyohusiana sana; uhusiano wao ni sawa na uhusiano baina ya kuku na yai! Bila ya kuku hupati mayai; na bila mayai kuku watakwisha. Vile vile, bila ya uhuru hupati maendeleo, na bila ya maendeleo ni dhahiri kwamba uhuru wako utapotea.
Uhuru unategemea maendeleo. Tunapozungumza habari za uhuru maana yetu nini hasa, Kwanza, kuna uhuru wa nchi; yaani uwezo wa wananchi wa Tanzania kujipangia maisha yao, wakijitawala wenyewe bila ya kuingiliwa kati na mtu ye yote asiyekuwa Mtanzania.
Pili, kuna uhuru wa kutosumbuliwa na njaa, maradhi, na umasikini. Na tatu, kuna uhuru wa mtu binafsi; yaani haki yake ya kuishi, akiheshimika sawa na wengine wote, uhuru wake wa kusema na uhuru wake wa kushiriki katika uamuzi wa mambo yote yanayogusa maisha yake, na uhuru wa kutokamatwa ovyo na kutiwa ndani kwa kuwa tu kamuudhi mkubwa, japo kama haku-vunja sheria yo yote. Yote hayo ni mambo yanayohusu uhuru, na hatuwezi kusema kuwa Wananchi wa Tanzania ni huru, mpaka tuwe tuna hakika kwamba wanao uhuru wa mambo yote hayo". J.K Nyerere, UHURU NA MAENDELEO.
Ewe Mtanzania mwenzagu, Tuyatafakari Maendeleo yetu na Uhuru wetu kwa kina.
