Are you wondering whether Kikwete is performing well?
No,
I am wondering whether the original post, complete with lack of specifics, is overly quixotic.
I was reading somewhere on how people use their tax rebates, one Mwafrika wa Kike type was furious about the Bush administration and its "Bushit", so she was like as soon as I get my tax rebate mula I will start a fund to impeach Bush and try him for war crimes.
Come the rebate check the gal went and paid a small portion of her debt!
If we entertain farfetched thoughts like pressuring Kikwete to resign, we should adopt farfetched sommersaults, like leaving the comfort of the keyboard and protesting at the embassy on the fourth instead of barbecuing.
This wishful thinking criticism business, quixotic and devoid of realism, without action, especially the disquetingly and unashamedly unearthly sort -short of divine intervention that is, and you know how much stock I have in that- is diverting attention from a detail approach of what can and should be done, like a call to reduce the size of the government, a decrease in unnecessary foreign trips, organization of the opposition, constitutional change etc.
Moreover, as I have stated here several times, our problems are systemic and not because we have one bad leader.What if Kikwete resigns and the toothless Shein proves to be a worse procastinator than Kikwete? What if the spy Pinda plunges our country into a totalitarianism that would make Orwell's 1984 look like a comic book?
We need systemic changes, not cosmetic ones which this "Fulani has to go" mbius seems to be all about.
Let's not kid ourselves, are we shouting and jumping to have Kikwete resign just because it feels good and gives us inspiration or do we really believe that this can happen while we cannot even reach consensus to petition an official signed document?
