Tanzania President Launches Parliament As Opposition Walks Out


By Shout-Africa Correspondent, Dar es Salaam – The fourth Tanzanian President, Jakaya launched his second term National Assembly Yesterday (Thursday evening) amid dramatic scenes following an unprecedented decision of the main opposition party, Chadema, to walk outside the Parliamentary House in the political capital of Dodoma.
The decision of the opposition party follows its stance to reject the presidency of Jakaya Kikwete over claims of massive rigging in the last October presidential and parliamentary election which was applauded as “free and fair” by most external observers with one internal observer mission branding it as “free but not fair,” mainly faulting the counting and announcing of results
“Hon. Speaker, as tradition let me start by thanking God…” The President begun his speech, but suddenly the main opposition block MPs lead by Chadema’s national chairman and leader of the opposition camp, MP for Hai Constituent, Freeman Mbowe, piled outside amid boos from the ruling party, CCM, MP’s.
In a recorded speech that was posted later on the day, Chadema presidential candidate, Dr. Wilbroad Slaa, who was defeated by Kikwete by a 61% to 26% margin applauded his party MP’s decision saying the move was the begging of more passive resistances to Kikwete’s government that he alleged climbed back into power through a fault electoral process.
“We cannot mince words on this. We have evidence to support our claims that the announced results by the National Electoral Commission do not represent what the people voted in the general election. We will be calm, we won’t opt for violent measure, but we shall go all around the country to tell the people what happened,” said Dr. Slaa in his YouTube posted 10 minutes video.
President Kikwete, however, promised to work with and for all Tanzanians in developing the East African nation, enlisted as among poor nation despite the presence of huge mineral deposits and abundant fertile lands.
President Kikwete outlined about 13 priority areas emphasizing on massive investment in the agriculture, fishing and medium entrepreneurial sectors and promised to unite the nation.
“I want to form a government which will work for all people, including those who have not elected CCM in the past general Election. We know that they have no other government so they will go forth and back, I’m their President too,” he said.

To you, what could be the civilized political move? Mobilizing people to go to streets?. I think that is the peaceful and lawful means CHADEMA has used to deliver their message to the ruling party (CCM), the general public and the international community that, election was full of irregularities!!

good move kwa chadema, hakuna lugha mbaya waliyotumia wala kumobilize watu wafanye fujo. Simply wametoka nje ya ukumbi wa Bunge wakati Rais anahutubia kuonyesha hisia zao! Sasa kama walimwandikia M/kiti wa Tume ya Taifa ya Uchaguzi kabla ya kutangaza matokeo kumjulisha irregularities za uchaguzi lakini hakuyafanyia kazi chadema wangefanyaje?

 

[Epifania]

I like this. I'm glad that the issue is taking international attn. There's no need of pretending to have a peaceful gvt while natives are deplited in minds and soul

 

[DENYO]

Chadema imecheza karata yake vizuri asante lissu cheo chako bungeni ni sahihi fanya kazi uliyotumwa ikiwezekana hata kufungwa jela miaka 27 kama mandela sawa tuuuu, wewe ni mpiganaji na unatisha saana mkuu, karata yenu mliyocheza ni sahihi wananchi tuna imani nanyi songa mbele chadema mnatisha hii vita ni kubwa ni zaidi ya kupigwa na kutoa machozi

 

[Makene]

that is exactly what the walk out was anticipated to dissipate, bring to the world in vivid colour what perspired during the general election we have just had in our country.

 

[Fishyfish]

The fall of CCM.

 

[jyfranca]
