Economist Intelligence Unit on Kikwete/Tanzania

[Invisible]

• The president, Jakaya Kikwete, will retain his personal popularity in the final months of his first term, despite slower economic growth, continued corruption scandals and high inflation.
• The ruling party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi is likely to choose Mr Kikwete as its candidate in the presidential election in October 2010. He is expected to win, albeit with a smaller majority as voters express their discontent.
• Slower economic growth has hurt the public coffers and we have revised our fiscal deficit forecast to 5.3% of GDP in 2009/10 (previously 4%) and 5% of GDP in 2010/11 (previously 3.7%).
• A Canadian gold mining company, Barrick Gold, has announced that it plans to place all of its Tanzanian gold mining assets into a single company, African Barrick Gold, which will be listed on the London Stock Exchange.
• The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts real GDP growth of 6% in 2010 and 7% in 2011 as investment, trade and tourism pick up slowly. Agriculture should also perform well (weather permitting), helped by government subsidies.

This is Shame then!

Thats is a direct indicator of irresponsibility by the highest office!
Wewe unacheka, wananchi wanalia...Machozi ya DAMU... and you are just happy, hakuna mshipa hata mmoja unaokusimama...hakuna...huh!!

Nakubaliana na hi analysis; sio kwamba JK amefanya vizuri, bali wapinzani wake hawakutumia mapungufu haya kwa manufaa yao.

It is very likely tha Wananchi will elect Kikwete and CCM to power next election simply because there is no obvious alternative.

 

[Bulesi]

Hata wapinzani wafanye miujiza gani, hawawezi kuwashinda CCM na katiba hii iliyopo sasa!! If the opposition was serious about going into these October elections on a level playing field ,they would have demanded without compromise the drafting of a new inclusive constitution. Nashangaa kwanini sisi hatufanyi mambo yetu kama majirani zetu ambao sasa karibu watapata katiba mpya!!

 

[mtoto wa mjini]

JK rocks

 

[Kiwalani]

Hii nchi tunahitaji kupata "progressive dictator", mtu ambaye hayumo kwenye "system" ..... mtu ambaye ataamuru watu kama mzee wa vijisenti, richimonduli, RA etc wa-face treason charges na wakipataikana na hatia ni kupigwa risasi mnazi mmoja saa saba mchana!! Simple as that

 

[TANURU]

Ni mfalme lazima aendelee hata kama wapiga kura watakuwa laki moja tuu.

Niliwahi kulisema hilo jambo zamani nikashambuliwa kama mvua nashukuru na wewe umeliona. Mie ndio maana nimeamua kuwa independent voter naangalia kama kuna umuhimu nitapiga kura kama hamna naenda zangu baa kunywa bia basi sina time na hii biashara.

Bulesi,
Unachosema ni kweli. Lakini bila kuwa na wabunge wengi upinzani utapiga kelele za chura tu. Majirani zetu walilazimika kukatana mapanga kabla ya kupata mabadiliko halisi. We do not want to go that route. Tuhakikishe mwaka huu upinzani unapata majority seats ndipo tutaweza kupigia kelele mabadiliko ya katiba.

Nyie subirini tu waswahili walisema aliyesimama aangalie asiangukiwe na mti. Chama Cha Majambazi tunawamulika na kiama chao kipo njiani.

You seem to see the problem but your solution will create a higher level of injustice. Wakishakuwa executed, then dictator akamtaka mke wako then what happens to you? The rule of law is more important than anything.

We do not need people who think in this Jacobin fashion. Ask Robespierre about what radicals achieve in reality. We need education to create political opinion which will spawn political will to create the required institutional framework to regulate the powers of government so that no one benefits individually above all nation. To force our leaders to recognize the paramount importance of national interest above all else..

This is something that has taken some countries hundreds of years, we could do it faster because the methodology is already existent but then again to expect that it would have naturally evolved in 40 odd years is a bit naive.
