A polite question to President Samia: Do you know the location of Achilles' Heel in Magufuli's regime?

[KITAULO]

am not very good on this foreign tongue....but i read loud and clear...............

 

[Drifter]

Being a VP in Tanzania is not synonimous with being president. The VP only acts on the president's discretionary assignments. So SSH has better chances of plausibly denouncing Magufuli's wrongful acts. To that extent SSH and JPM are not one. This is why others and I have been trying to support her via constructive criticisms.

Doubtful. That sneer: “whichever way you vote, only we get to form the government”, above all else, sums up the single spirit that pulsates in the bosoms of the partners in crime.

Whatever the detail in steals, broken shells, stirred mud and spattered blood, however the differences in levels of knowledge and acknowledgment, whatever the degree of involvement, concurrence (agreement) is on the end result: we get to form and run the government.

For sure SSH is in too deep with JPM to shake herself clean of the rot.

More rhetorics less facts. The constitutionally stated duties of the VP are delegated from the president. Accountability is never delegated. Thus the VP is not legally accountable on behal of the President

Dear President Samia, after having assessed your performance for months now, I am about to make a rounded conclusion about your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOTs).

However, before doing that I should prefer to pose a polite question to you, if you allow:

Do you really know the location of Achilles' Heel in the body of your predecessor's government which you inherited from the late President Magufuli and the political dangers associated with it?

Very few will doubt the claim that, by whatever standard one would use, President Magufuli would be classified as a dictator, and like all dictators he could manifest strengths and weaknesses.

Many dictators often appear invulnerable for many reasons.

As a rule, intelligence agencies, police, military forces, prisons, concentration camps, and execution squads are controlled by a powerful few.

A country’s finances, natural resources, and production capacities are often arbitrarily plundered by many dictators and used to support the dictators’ will.

In comparison, democratic opposition forces often appear extremely weak, ineffective, and powerless.

That perception of invulnerability against powerlessness makes effective opposition often unlikely.

That is not the whole story, however.

A myth from Classical Greece illustrates well the vulnerability of the supposedly invulnerable dictators.

Against the warrior Achilles, no blow would injure and no sword would penetrate his skin.

When still a baby, Achilles’ mother had supposedly dipped him into the waters of the magical river Styx, resulting in the protection of his body from
all dangers.

There was, however, a problem. Since the baby was held by his heel so that he would not be washed away by running water, the magical water had not covered that small part of his body.

When Achilles was a grown man he appeared to all to be invulnerable to the enemies’ heavy weapons such as billets and bombs.

However, in the battle against Troy, instructed by one who knew the weakness, an enemy soldier aimed his simplest weapon, an arrow, at Achilles’ unprotected heel, the only spot where he could be injured. The strike proved fatal.

Still today, the phrase “Achilles’ heel” refers to the vulnerable part of a person, a plan, or an institution at which if attacked there is no protection.

The same principle applies to many ruthless dictatorships.

They, too, can be conquered, but most quickly and with least cost if their weaknesses can be identified and the attack concentrated on them by using the right weapons.

The fifth phase government had many weaknesses that made it unpopular to rational voters, and this unpopularity had two stages of evolution.

In a word, its Achilles' Heel between 2015 and 2020 was overt INJUSTICE to the innocent many while from 2020-2021 it was plausible ILLEGITIMACY by reason of pre-marked ballots which, allegedly, were systematically channelled into many ballot boxes.

You have inherited this heel and it is a part of your government's body.

There are many simple weapons which can be used to succesfully attack this heel and hence force your government to start a limping walk to its final downfall.

That having been said, I can now restate my original question as follows:

Do you President Samia, the successor of President Magufuli, know the SWOTs of the government you inherited from him, and if yes, as you take off and aspire to become a successful president, how prepared are you regarding the urgent need of turning opportunities and weaknesses into strenghts?

SWOC analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges) . IPYANA analysis, by Ipyana Benny Haraba, coming soon stay tuned 'that will help to detect internal and external critical determinants of uncertainty in business' organizations and regimes(governments)

Since you think you know all the appropriate answers to questions that you posit in your many inquisitive threads, why bother at all in starting such meaningless threads anyway?

it seems, your main intention is pure entertainment in having to bring down other contributors' replies and making them appear as intellectually inferior and stupid.

For whatever reason, you seem to relish in this kind of pointless activity since you do later on demonstrate to know the real answers (as far as you're concerned, of course) to the very questions you posit every time. You are always right, and everybody else is just damn wrong.

 

[SueIsmael]

My two cents, in a nutshell:
The fundamental problem with leadership analysis in Tanzania is the tendency to focus on people or individuals, and not systems or processes. It is not by coincidence! We are governing the country in altered remnants of colonial systems, which were set to 'rule with as little investment as possible.' We have rulers and NOT leaders, by design. This is why power is concentrated in few positions, hence all you do is control that position and you control everyone and everything else.

The government becomes an arduous and dysfunctional bureaucratic machine. This creates fertile grounds for squandering, misappropriation and corruption; with enough loopholes to get away with it.

That is the crux of the matter. It doesn't matter who sits on that chair. The process is flawed from the get-go.

Mama Amon thank you for this piece of educative contribution! It seems ''mama'' is experiencing some kind of inferiority complex and now she want to show the opposition she is not inferior; without forgeting the ''court jesters'' who surrond her for making things worse!

Well reasoned analysis

Rhetoric? Be real. She celebrates the results of crime (violence ridden electoral fraud) while protected from the dirt.

You really want to believe that the “good” lady is ignorant of how a fraudulent election win is garnered simply because she’s spared of the details of the messy job involved?

That retort about “their” soldier getting the sack for failing to make a kill with three shots, just a pleasant joke? You don’t even see the signature refusal of the constitutional reform process as telling?

She couldn’t even make a pretense of “working on it” to buy time and ultimately own the process - just plain no, it isn’t a priority! The message is clear. Constitution reform? Forget it!

She certainly has no JPM guts. But she’s working along the same lines - with the help of the body wringers. I can’t help getting the feeling that Mbowe has a death wish this time.

Ni sisi wapinzani wenyewe tutaweza kujitetea, kwa sasa ccm wamepoteza ushawishi kwa umma, hivyo wamejishika na vyombo vya dola ili kuendelea kututawala kwa shuruti. Namna pekee ni sisi wapinzani kugoma kushirikiana na wanaccm.

Hakuna kushiriki msiba wala sherehe ama hafla yoyote ya mwanaccm, hakuna kununua chochote kwenye biashara ya mwanaccm, ama hata kupakia vyombo vyao vya usafiri labda iwe lazima sana. Tusiogope kuhamashana kwenye hili. Kwa vyovyote mbinu hii itamgusa kila mtanzania. Kwenye nyumba za ibada hakuna kutoa sadaka, na kuwaambia viongozi wa dini wanakalia kimya uovu. Mbinu hii haitatuacha na vilema wala kubambikiwa kesi, kutekwa ama kuuwawa. Mbinu hii ilitumiwa Zanzibar na ilifanya kazi.

Madai ya katiba mpya ni ya halali, kwanini wezi wa kura wasio na ushawishi waendelee kututesa na kutuumiza kwa madai yetu halali? Ni juu yetu wapinzani kujiokoa.

NAUNGANA NA WEWE 110%.

In Africa being vice doesnt mean you are the second in command, no African leader would wish to have a strong vice president, SSH was put there simply bcz she was a lady royal to the party not a threat to the position coming from island to show some mockery equality with Zazibar.

I also concure with the post. LikeJPM even SSH has got no vision and solution for this nation we ur wasting time, she bcome popular in her first 100days simply of the mass mistakes en blunders of her predecessor, so far i havent witnessed any real delibarate move taken by to fix this nation back on track, Tznian are becoming desperate day by day despite the bitting poverty in rural and urban centres their leaders are frustrating them alot, they see no hope of liberation. The nation has been handed over to apoliticl armature we can't expect much from her.

She should have started with reforms! Our country needs new and proper sytem ASP. Otherwise she is just wasting time and there would be no new inputs.
