As Tanzania’s Magufuli attempts to fool the world, his secretary-general spills the beans

Mkuu, kwanza siyo article yake, pili siyo ku-abbreviate ni ku-summerise. Abbreviation ni kama CCM katika Chama Cha Mapinduzi, au SM katika Serikali za Mitaa.

Basi ulipaswa kusema try to summarize the article
Upo sahihi ila hiyo ni maana mojawapo... Mtu akikwambia "abbreviate your speech"anamaanisha nini au anakuwa kakosea?
 
You must be out of your mind
Chintu, your arguments are obviously biased and very wrong. We know in your inner concious mind you know what Bashiru meant, but since you are wearing green rug and probably you have green blood, you are striving to avoid telling the truth .

The use of state apparatus to weaken the opopsition is vividly vissible.

There are obvious state actions pointing towards that end. Take for instance the burn regarding holding political ralies , how do you look at it? Does it fit in what you stupidly term as 'inccumbency advantage'?

Let us be fare. Regardless of your political affiliation and whatever party you belong to, do not try to fool us.

Remember the truth always prevails and what you are selfishly arguing and doing now will haunt you and your siblings forever.

Acha ubishi ndugu yangu, huwezi kuabbreviate kurasa kadhaa au paragraph kadhaa, hizo zinakuwa summarized. Kuabreviate inaaply unapomaanisha kufupisha jina la kitu au mradi fulani.

Nirudi sasa kwenye swali lako kuwa "ukimwambia mtu abbreviate your speech ....." jibu ni kwamba hutakiwi kumwambia hivyo maana ni sawa na ungemwambia " Kunya chakula" badala ya "Kula chakula".

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Opposition leaders handed a 5 months sentence by a senior resident magistrate in Tanzania



Before the resident magistrate court in Dar es Salaam, the Senior Resident Magistrate Mr. Thomas Simba reading his verdict, he found the senior opposition leaders to be guilty in 12 counts out of 13 and sentenced the senior opposition leaders to serve 5 months behind the bars or pay a total fine of Tshs.350 millions in fines to secure their freedom.

On the streets of this sprawling metropolitan city of more than 6 million residents since early morning the talk of the town was about this ongoing case against the opposition leaders with many, their opinions is that the case was a political motivated case to try to curb the power and influence of the major opposition party named CHADEMA as the country is going to have a general election in October 2020.

THREE weeks ago, Tanzania’s President John Magufuli promised heaven on earth by telling the international community that he was committed to ensuring a free and fair election in October 2020. But two questions remained unanswered.

Firstly, is the trustworthiness of his word when everyone knows how badly he has been treating his critics and political opponents. Secondly, existing legal frameworks do not support any free and fair elections.

That is why many champions of democracy and election stakeholders have been calling for the establishment of an independent electoral commission. Without it, and going by what happened during a series of by-elections and the November 2019 civic elections, speaking of a free and fair election sounds a bit lunatic.

Seeking to fool the world and to lure international support, Magufuli sent his Foreign Affairs Minister Prof. Palamagamba Kabudi to the USA with the same “sweet-word mission.” But even before his minister returned to Tanzania, his party’s Secretary-General Dr Bashiru Ali spilt the beans with a reckless statement to the media, saying that his party, CCM, would retain state power by using state apparatus.

To hammer his point home, he cited Kenya’s KANU and Zambia’s UNIP as an example of African ruling parties that foolishly lost power because of their failure to employ state machinery in their favour.

With Magufuli as CCM flagbearer seeking reelection to the office, and based on his brutal leadership style, why would sane Tanzanians and the international community trust him on this matter? Of course, his secretary-general subconsciously spoke his mind and revealed their sinister plans.

What the state has been doing for almost five years consecutively, to disparage, freeze, sabotage, and suffocate the opposition – to the point of shedding blood for political victory – is enough testimony to the truth accidentally spoken by the ruling party’s secretary-general.

It is understood that Magufuli’s original motive was unveiled on February 5, 2016, when he expressed his wish to have obliterated the opposition before 2020. So, whatever Magufuli says now about the October 2020 election should be taken with great caution because he is not expected to intentionally work towards his own defeat.

His recent statement is an obvious attempt to fool the world and calm the international community that has been criticising his country’s worst human rights record.

This may partly explain the US Embassy’s caution as it welcomed Magufuli’s January 21 statement regarding the “free and fair” election. The embassy, in its statement, called for “an election where all citizens and candidates from all parties are able to gather peacefully, express their opinions, and campaign on an equal basis.”

Sceptics, banking on the experience of Magufuli’s leadership style in the past four years, do point out that such a wish can never happen in Tanzania as long as Magufuli is the president-cum-candidate. He is simply playing tricks to spin international political opinion in his favour.

And this sheds some light on his sudden invitation of selected opposition leaders to the statehouse for secret one-on-one talks last week – Prof. Ibrahim Lipumba (CUF chairman), James Mbatia (NCCR-Chairman) and Seif Sharrif Hamad (a member of ACT-Wazalendo).

While unsuspecting observers might be led to think the president’s move is his response to the call for national cohesion, political insiders do understand that the motive is meant to divide and weaken the opposition in order to avoid a strong coalition.

Since 2015, Lipumba has been working as a clear ally to Magufuli. Mbatia’s party is almost insignificant in Tanzania’s politics. He is the only member of parliament from his party, thanks to a previous opposition coalition (UKAWA) to which his party belonged.

Magufuli shows outright hostility against the main opposition party, whose top leaders face trumped-up charges. The court is expected to make a ruling on one of their serious charges tomorrow – March 10, 2020, in what some analysts expect heavy fines and possible incarceration of some of them.

At the same time, he is working to foster an informal alliance with weak opposition parties in order to justify a multiparty election for which he needs international support. Insiders say his motive is to use some of smaller parties against bigger ones and to instil internal hostilities within some of their parties. Word is out that the state is already corrupting some of them to that effect.

Worse still, Magufuli’s party has embarked on silently using a tribal base for political gain – a vice that has never happened in five decades of Tanzania’s politics. Last week, the pubic was baffled with a series of audio clips circulating on social media containing a political message in Magufuli’s vernacular – Kisukuma – pleading to his tribesmen for a solid unity to ensure his re-election.

The public is silently mad at this tribalistic move which is apt to poison the country’s politics forever. For fear of retaliation from state organs, people do not speak up in public. But the leader of the opposition, Freeman Mbowe, says the politics of tribalism and hatred is unacceptable and must be avoided to avert civil strife of ineffable proportions.

Any hope for opposition coalition? There is still a glimmer of hope for a coalition of some opposition parties. CHADEMA and ACT-WAzalendo are the most likely entities that would work together to pose a formidable force against CCM.

Analysts say Magufuli’s inclusion of Maalim Seif Shariff Hamad among invited opposition leaders at the statehouse last week was meant to confuse ACT-Wazalendo members and the opposition in general in two ways. Firstly, Hamad is not the party leader. So, if the president’s intention was to speak to the leaders, he should have invited the ACT-Wazalendo party leader. Hamad has a huge influence, given his political profile in Zanzibar politics, but his invitation raised eyebrows of some ACT-Wazalendo members. Secondly, his invitation was meant to cause suspicion of other parties against his party, which would quicken the state’s endeavour to foil any meaningful coalition of opposition parties.

SAUTI KUBWA understands from well-placed sources that Hamad, given his long experience in this type of politics, had all this in mind before and after the meeting with the president.

“Hamad is a bold and experienced politician. He cannot easily fall prey to Magufuli’s tricks. That is why when Mbatia and Lipumba were behaving strangely after their statehouse meeting with the president – separately making derogatory statements against other opposition parties – Hamad spoke to the media to clarify these issues and to assert his position,” ACT-Wazalendo leader Zitto Kabwe has told SAUTI KUBWA.

As it stands, the face of the opposition and its potential coalition as of now banks on the fate of CHADEMA and ACT-Wazalendo. Both parties have expressed their interest in a grand coalition of parties that share the vision and have the same spirit.

While Magufuli promises free and fair elections without efforts to establish the legal mechanism towards it, and his secretary-general insists they will employ state organs to snatch victory, and the opposition still relies on the people’s power as the way to go, the international community needs to find its true place in this political game.

I think the problem lies in our lack of understanding of the "incumbency advantage" concept on which the Secretary General based his arguments. Let us please not distort the Secretary General's message.
Such a brain dead fool!!

☆E pluribus unum☆
 
It is absurd and shameful to find even a seemingly 'elite' person fails to interpret correctly a theory of 'the incumbency advantage"! Such character is more of a political stooge or a shameless whore who is bent to confuse and mislead the populace.
Dont pretend to be elite/expert.
One clever person can not wrong hundred fools.
You are the expert of your own anus before the fools.

I dont believe Ngurumo is that ignorant not to understand Bashiru's concept of using state apparatus. Is this a sign that he has fallen short of issues to criticize JPM.

What happened to the old Ngurumo who used to bring hot issues that no CCM cadre would dare touch? Ngurumo is bringing issues that can easily be clarified/handled even by Steve Nyerere?

Come on that is not your level Ansbert! -We know and you know it.
Don't fool people, who are not aware the country is under the iron hand of meko and his henchmen like you?

Mkuu ulisoma communication skills ? Hili bandiko lako lenyewe linakupinga maana linaongelea kuabbreviate maneno ndani ya hiyo speech.

Kwenye communication skills kuna kitu kinaitwa "note taking" ambapo mtu ili kocope na msemaji badala ya kuandika maneno mazima unayafupisha kwanza then baadae ukipata muda unaandika kwa kirefu.

Sasa kama ni speech umeiandika kwa kufupisha maneno ndani yake literally unaweza kusema umeabbreviate lakini speech hiyo hiyo ukiiandika kwa maneno mazima ila machache siyo kuabbreviate bali ni kusummarize.

Sasa je, mada ya Ansbert Gurumo ulitaka aandike kila neno kwa ufupi (aiabbreviate) au aiandike kwa maneno mazima ila machache (aisummarize)?

Halafu jua kwamba kitu ulichoandika kwa kufupisha maneno huwezi kukifikisha kwa hadhira bila kurefusha maana anayejua maneno hayo ni wewe.
