Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

[Rutashubanyuma]

Very few jobs or contribution to our GDP is or can be attributed to soccer

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The real reason our soccer is in such dire need of rehab is because our politics run on personalities rather than policy issues. So politics need soccer to get a "kick"!

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

It explains why more than two decades after independence ccm still cleave on national stadia as means of control and employment to its diehards

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Weekend soccer that ended on stalemate between Yanga and Simba has generated an off pitch furore worthy of few minutes of musing

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The matter in dispute has many similarities to the US Congress decision to override Obama veto on suing Saudis over 911 terrorist act

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The revenues for Yanga and Simba is withheld pending an investigation of who are to blame for the losses caused by unruly fans protesting what fanatics believed Simba was robbed of a victory

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Over a thousand seats were vandalized and a seat is overpriced at quarter of a million. So a thousand plus of those seats will bleed most of the withheld cash

Here are the legal landmines to contemplate

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

One how do you blame clubs for individual criminal conduct

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Did the clubs instructed its fans to behave in such a bizarre manner?

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Where are the CCTV cameras to make the errant fans responsible for their actions?

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

How much this is a problem condoned by owners of the stadium and less of clubs now under scrutiny?

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Similar arguments can be raised on Saudis predicament

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Why punish Saudi regime for action of its citizens? Did Saudi instructed them to blow away those twin towers?

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

In both cases apart from punishing the innocent parties who were oblivious of criminal conduct before and during those offenses were being committed could not be held responsible for doing so is condoning those acts.

Deterrence is effective when the real offenders are given opportunities to account for their deplorable actions.

Punishing third parties will not in anyway deter future conduct of the offenders for a simple reason the system spur them to repeat their offences with no threat of future accountability

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Is this justice or its pretence as expediency is always is?

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Professor Lipumba career in high octane opposition national politics is truly over and he knows it!

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

The early he acknowledges it the better

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

What he needs to learn fast the phony letter from Judge Mutungi is in no way a cure for lawful decisions done by his former party to axe him from the membership of CUF

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Paradoxically Lipumba claims to honour the party constitution
