President Magufuli.
It’s like he’s the only one who cares.
The only one who’s at least trying to do something about it.
It seems like he is fighting it all by his lonesome.
After he is gone, after he is no longer president, then what?
Will things revert back to how they were before he took the reigns of power?
I don’t have the answers to those questions so I will just have to wait for Father Time to tell me.
But such are the pernicious effects of unchecked venality.
People got so used to cutting corners in just about everything imaginable.
Corruption, grand and petty, became the norm.
Then he came along and tried to upset the apple cart. And to no surprise but to the chagrin of some of us, the pushback he’s getting makes us scratch our heads.
For years many people have been virtue signaling about the pervasiveness of corruption in the country.
Then it’s these same people who are now against the efforts made to combat it.
I don’t get it and maybe I’ll never get it.
I lay blame squarely on CCM for fostering it. They are the ones who created this ogre of corruption and allowed it to grow to uncontrollable levels.
It’s sad to see even what would seemingly be minor projects being micromanaged by the president.
Like, without his direct supervision nothing will ever get done.
Sometimes I wonder if we even know what we really want!
Sad state of affairs.
