Contempt of the Constitution by President Magufuli?

[sheikh shaaban]

The President is the Head of the State. In a republic it is a privilege granted by an election. That privilege can be withdrawn and it has been withdrawn in some countries. Thabo was a case in point.

A government has three components; the State or the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary.

The 5th Phase President is clearly ignorant of these separations of powers and his view is - he is tops over everybody, false. His public statements are evident of his view.

We need an intelligent lawyer to bring up a case of contempt of the Constitution. I am not a reader of law but I assume this is a possibility. The President has made recorded statements that can be used as evidence of contempt of the legislature and or the Judiciary. It wont be too difficult to generate this evidence.

What saddens me is the extent to which these views extend to weakening of institutions in both the state, in Judiciary and in the Legislature. This is even more damaging and will severely hurt sustainability of Tanzania as a country in good and sound governance.

As of now we have no governance at all - ni uhuni mtupu.

My suggestion is for the Judiciary to handle the Makonda Case, of course via a private legal avenue. We have good lawyers, dont we?

In fact what we have is a President but we don't have the presidency. If we had the presidency he would be in a position to understand his limitations. However, let's continue praying for him

At one time Ziito Kabwe said the society gets the leadership reflecting the society he is coming from, in other words the society gets what they deserve, that being the case it implies that we are not serious people in handling sensitive issues, if we were serious we would have vetted so as to get a serious contender. Loving your country and being tough on corruption are not the only attributes for some one to be a president. We need to go beyond superficial attributes, serious vetting need to be carried out to get some one rational, compassionate to his people, some one able to make logical judgement and with empathy to the people.
Furthermore we are facing the consequences of self inflicted wound - cheating. It is widely believed by many in ccm that the guy didn't win the nomination within the party, the one who won is a woman from Zanzibar but "the big guys" within the party overturned the result and declared the guy a winner.
The game didn't end there, during general election the same tactics were applied - cheating. Therefore we are facing the consequences of our own behavior. To avoid this in the future we should enhance transparency in our election within parties, also during the general election and finally broaden the criteria for nomination.

Accordingly, we have a president who has absolute power over everything, the Parliament, the Judiciary and the Government. Remember power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely!

''Parliamentary sovereignty (also called parliamentary supremacy or legislative supremacy) is a concept in the constitutional law of some parliamentary democracies. It holds that the legislative body has absolute sovereignty, and is supreme over all other government institutions, including executive or judicial bodies. It also holds that the legislative body may change or repeal any previous legislation, and so it is not bound by written law (in some cases, even a constitution) or by precedent.

Parliamentary sovereignty may be contrasted with separation of powers, which limits the legislature's scope often to general law-making, and judicial review, where laws passed by the legislature may be declared invalid in certain circumstances.''

 

[mwanamichakato]

''Judicial Supremacy is the idea that the courts should have the final say over issues of policy, instead of policy makers or even the voting public, and is a natural end result of the doctrine of a Living Constitution.[1]

Under judicial supremacy, the branches of government are not co-equal. Instead, under judicial supremacy, courts are above checks and balances by other branches of government. This subverts the Constitutional Separation of Powers that exists to prevent the rise of tyrannical government.''

 

[mwanamichakato]

''Judicial review is a process under which executive and (in some countries) legislative actions are subject to review by the judiciary. A court with judicial review power may invalidate laws and decisions that are incompatible with a higher authority; an executive decision may be invalidated for being unlawful or a statute may be invalidated for violating the terms of a written constitution. Judicial review is one of the checks and balances in the separation of powers: the power of the judiciary to supervise the legislative and executive branches when the latter exceed their authority. The doctrine varies between jurisdictions, so the procedure and scope of judicial review may differ between and within countries.''.......

Mwananchi wa Tz ana nafasi gani katika kuendesha nchi yake? Nafasi yake inaishia katika kupiga kura tu, na baada ya hapo ni kunyanyaswa na watu waliowapigia kura? Kinachokosekana ni nini hasa, je ni udhaifu wa katiba, au ni mfumo mzima wa mahusiano ya kisiasa na wananchi hayako wazi na huru?
Kama raisi anafikia hatua, karibu kila anaposimama jukwaani, basi ni kuwananga wananchi, kwa kejeli na dharau za hali ya juu, na wananchi waliomuweka hapo, hawana jinsi yoyote ya kumshurutisha afanye wanayotaka wao, na hasa kwa mambo ya haki zao? Vyombo na taasisi zote nchini, zinaondolewa umuhimu wa uwepo wake, kisheria/ kikatiba, kwa sababu raisi kaamua hivyo? Kashfa au tuhuma zinazoelekezwa kwa aliyekabidhiwa madaraka, zingeshatolewa maelekezo na taasisi husika, kuwa tumesikia tetesi hizi na zile, na tutafanya uchunguzi kujua ukweli. Na pia ikithibitika ni kweli, isingekuwa na haja ya kumwachia aliyemteua amtengue, bali katiba na haki, moja kwa moja (automatically) vingemtoa sifa ya kuwa na wadhifa. Ila hapa kwetu, kila kitu ni kinyume, raisi anachukulia kila kitu kama ni binafsi yake (personal), na inatia doa katika uadilifu anaouzungumzia kila mara.
