You remind me of Mwalimu Nyerere's favorite and great speech of 1968, one year after Arusha Declaration in which he clearly proved to be a strong believer of people centered development via the Rural Development Approach, and among other things, he said: "Rural development is the...

Sure! However, I think Mr. Ulanga's speech aimed to inspire the youngsters of this Nation and the World to embrace and familiarize themselves with books, cultivate the culture of reading and writing and more importantly to reflect on Mwalimu's Vision and Ideas, and contextualize them in our...
