Let's stop this nonsense of blaming the opposition for everything. To the best of my recollections, the so called " opposition" has never been in power! Therefore, they are not the ones to blame as far as Mikataba mibovu are of concern. Make no mistake, this quagmire was created and engineered by President Mkapa and President Kikwete who also happens to be the members of the elite CCM's think tank. These people knew exactly what they were getting the country into and sadly didn't care. For years members of the opposition, have complained about these contracts to no avail. Imagine, if they would have listened in the late 90s and implemented measures to defend and protect our interest then; where would we be as a country?
