Field Marshall
You have hit the nail! You are damn right! You are dead right!
It is JKN himself who started most of these messes:
1. When a minister, director, RC messes in one ministry, company or region, was simply transfered to a fresh ministry, another company or another region. There was no accountability or respect fro a rule of law
2. JKN dictated and amassed all powers into his own hands. The constitution knows nobody but the President. He forgot that he will not be there forever. Reluctantly, he relinqueshed power in 1985, but kept the CCM chairmanship to "keep an eye" on Mwinyi, and make sure that all goes according to his opinions, instincts and direction. Now that he is gone, Mkapa did what he did, and JK is struggling with all sorts of difficulties!!!
3. Tanzanians were hypnotized by "African Socialism" and its illogical restrictions on individual entrepreneurship which brought the country's economy to its knees by mid 80s. Arusha declaration nationalized private investments that were handled back after about 10 years of failures!
4. Promotion of one party as the sole political party that knows and dictates whole truth about what Tanzanians want. Multiparty was introduced with lots of conspiracies against opposition parties, with proxies and agents embedded within opposition parties, who caused fights and havoc from within.
All that said, JKN was at least frank in his intentions for the country (good or even eventually bad) and did not seek self enriching deals, did not cheat for his own personal material gains, which he could have.
