The countdown is over and today, August 20th, 2010, Tanzanians are just one step closer as we are gearing towards the 2010 Presidential, Parliamentary and Councilors Election. But no one in Tanzania believes that, in their lifetime, they will get to see the promised land under the leadership of CCM and its driving force which defines irresponsibility, bureaucracy, ufisadi, enormous wealth for the few, and total disconnection with the people.
So what, exactly, can we hope for if, as many expects, CCM wins again in October 2010, just as it has been the case since our first Multi-party Election in 1995?
There are several options - parts of which are already unfolding across the country. Not everybody is talking about them much, at least publicly, but they include missions to make sure we do not fail in trap again. But ask the designers and executors of government plans what they all add up to, and the answer inevitably boils down to "not enough." Taken together, these plans have already run into far greater economical and technical slowdowns than anyone expected. If CCM's pressure to stay in power builds up, our country might be driven to the negotiating table, where UTULIVU na AMANI will have to be defined in more comprehensible terms than ever in the history of our nation.
