Who said political Ralies were banned?Two wrongs do not make a right. The few bad things that we do will always mask the many good things that we do. Magufuli has done wonders to restore accountability within government. No doubts about that. Nonetheless, he is dead wrong to think that development and democracy are mutually exclusive - you can only have one but not both. What would you say about him and his government:
1) Banning political party activities and demonstrations, which are actually guaranteed in the constitution?
2) Stifling the media, including social media? - media outlets being closed now than ever.
2) Firing people on the spot against laid down procedures?
3) Carrying out massive extra-budgetary spending? And making it the new normal?
4) Persecuting every single individual who has got different views from his to the extent of wanting them dead - which he declared on TV in broad daylight and it actually happened to Lissu?
5) Double standards - touting himself as an anti-corruption crusader while embracing openly corrupt elements like Bashite and the DC was recently elevated to RC-ship?
6) Recently a university student said the truth (backed by photos) about cracks on UD new hostels. To everyone's utter surprise (you may be the exception), he got locked up!
7) Pocketing emergency relief contributions for those who are involved in natural calamities e.g. Kagera earthquake victims?
8) The list goes on and on....
What do you say about such a president and presidency? By the way, the majority of the people including foreign media were happy about Magufuli's performance in the first few months before he started infringing on people's democratic and human rights. Once he got into 1-8 above, they got disappointed.
Jingalao - Be objective. Do not take politics fanatically like a football fan who supports everything about their team - even when it is not performing good.
JPM advised in a friendly and honestly tone that it is time for working and implimenting what politicians had promised the citizens during election.If you want to do politics go to your constituency and practise whatever political rally you want for the benefit and development of the people.It is the septic mouth of some dunderheads opposition politicians which said that political ralies in Tanzania were banned.
Talking about media and social media in that context..I hope you will remember that The parliement had the laws on media and internet passed by majority.If you think these laws are bad just follow the same procedure to ammend them.
By the way how come DW is concentrating on discussing bad social media laws in Tanzania while muting about similar law passed in German??
Firing lazy executives on spot is the practise we as poor Tanzanians needed for a long time.
How is it possible to be a District Executive Director and failed to know a huge amount of transaction done in a past week or so from the accounts that you are the main signatory?
I have never heard of massive out of budget spending in this administration I rather see long standing problems are being solved in a minute of a calculated and wise decision for the benefit of many and poor Tanzanians.
There is no any evidence that our Goverment has ever persecuted the critiques...all those who are doing wrong have always been sent to court as per the exisiting laws.If you happen to know who were involved in Lisu's shooting please share the evidence with police or the public.
I think you are just echoing political propaganda against Mnyeti and ''Bashite" ...be serious and come out with a great thinkers evidence against the two...stop presenting fake news and udaku from Instagram.
You are just trying to prepare a list of accussations vs Magufuli as part of your daily political propaganda just like someone who might come with the list of accusations against Mbowe or lowassa.
My Advice is simple....Dont paint Magufuli's administration as Dictatorship as you did to Kikwete's administration calling it weak!!
