WACHUMI WA NJE (YA SERIKALI, SIO LAZIMA WAZUNGU) HAWAKUBALIANI NA MAELEZO YA NYERERE
Kwanza, umekubali kwamba uchumi ulishuka kuanzia 1974, na sasa hivi ishu - au ubishi wako mpya - ni sababu za kushuka uchumi. Aaak Sante! Nimekumata, na nitakukamata tena huko huko kwenye sababu, amatuer wewe!
Mbili, unadhani sijui takwimu zinategemea nani kaziandika? Hivyo mbona vitu vidogo unavyotoa masomo mjomba? Unajua wewe unadhani una dili na watu watupu sana. Ndio maana una kinaya fulani hivi. Umetaka nikupe kidhibiti, nikakupa kinacho tetea upande wangu, unataka nikupe pande zote! Wewe ndio tetea upande wako. Vipi bro!
Tatu, naona sasa hivi ndio umeanza kutoa vi-link vya habari. Baada ya kupakwa! Unaficha habari, we namna gani?
Nne, tofauti na magazeti yetu ya Bongo, ile taarifa ya NY Times sio maoni ya NY Times peke yake. Anadondoa hata wachumi wa Tanzania mle. Isitoshe imesema hayo hayo uliyo yoyasema, kwamba Nyerere alidai kwamba ni sababu za nje ndio zilisababisha uchumi kuharibika. Halafu ikasema kwamba wengine wanatofautiana na hayo mawazo.
Mimi sikatai ripoti ya CCM kwa sababu ni ya CCM. Sina ubishi wa kishabiki. Isipokuwa nasema inawezekana watu wa nje wanaweza kuwa wana hoja ya ukweli kwa sababu inawezekana hawana upande katika haya majadiliano.
Mwanakijiji ukikataa hili basi usifikirie, kama ulivyo dokeza, kupeleka haya majadiliano kwenye magazeti halafu ukaweka jina lako. Huko kuna wanaoona pande mbili. Unatoa ripoti ya CCM halafu unakataa taarifa zinazohusishwa na IMF utachekwa.
Hebu tuisome tena, kama una uvumilivu. (Mimi tutaenda mpaka asubuhi hapa).
TANZANIA, IN STICKING TO ITS SOCIALIST PATH, STUMBLES
By ALAN COWELL, SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK TIMES
Published: March 2, 1982
For the third year in a row, Tanzania is importing food donated by outsiders to feed mainly those city dwellers who do not have access to their country's own produce.
NY TIMES WANATOA HITIMISHO LAO HAPA MWANZO, HATUJUI WEMEJUAJE BADO!
The contrast between town and country is part of a tale of mismanagement, inefficiency and corruption that outsiders increasingly attribute to President Julius K. Nyerere's dogged commitment to a kind of socialism that his country does not have the manpower to sustain.
(Neno 'outsiders lilivyotumika hapo lina maana wachunguzi walioko nje ya Serikali, sio Wazungu, kwa sababu atataja Wachumi wa Kibongo baadae.) Sitaki kukusomea au kukufundisha, lakini tuanishe kile kitu hapa, maana we si unajifanya mbishi. Haya!
MAELEZO YA NYERERE, KAMA KWENYE AUA YAKO YA CCM
President Nyerere has in the past attributed much of his country's economic misfortune to outside factors. As an eloquent spokesman for what is called the third world, he has complained that adverse terms of trade, burgeoning oil prices and his war against the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin have strangled the economy.

Unpublished figures, compiled by Scandanavian and Western embassies, however, show a different picture. According to one such analysis, whose authors requested anonymity, the losses incurred by Tanzania because of falling agricultural output are more than double those created by high oil prices. Another analysis, noting that ''the future is ominous,'' said that, even if Tanzania received all of its oil free, there would still be a huge gap between imports and its exports of agricultural commodities, mainly coffee.
Ever since 1967, when President Nyerere charted a socialist course for his country, Tanzania has been organized on highly centralized lines that give a huge slice of the economy to state-controlled companies, called parastatals, which have generally proved unable to meet their obligations and have cost more to run than they have earned.
SERIKALI INAKUBALI KUFELI KWA UJAMAA
Professor Simon Mblinye, the President's economic adviser, said in a recent interview, ''We moved to the socialist approach and then we created institutions, and maybe we were overzealous in creating institutions.'' Lack of Experience Cited
''There are too many for the quality and quantity of the people we can generate to run them,'' he said. ''We created 300 parastatals in 10 years. You cannot do this in 10, 20 years of independence. There is a lack of experience. Most of the executives are young and they need leadership.''
HAPA MBILINYI ANATETEA NYERERE TENA -KAMA KA-RIPOTI KAKO KA CCM
Some of the companies, he said, are now to be dismantled and replaced by cooperatives. Tanzania's woes are not simply a result of socialist mismanagement; adverse prices for export crops, grandiose foreign aid schemes that cost the country too much to run, or were unsuitable in the first place, and a costly stab at industrialization all took their toll.

But the upshot, according to Tanzanian and Western economists, seems to have been the creation of a society where many people live outside the formal economy, as subsistence farmers, or peasants selling their crops on the black market, or senior officials augmenting their meager salaries with vegetable plots at home, or bribes in the office.
KUJITEGEMEA KUNAADHIRIKA NA SERIKALI INAKIRI UFISADI
The request was not forthcoming until October 1981, when President Nyerere, claiming ignorance of the earlier warnings, ordered his officials to request international assistance and thus halted the plan to buy on the open market. A confidant of the President said that, at the time, he suspected corruption as a prime cause of the delay.
The Reagan Administration, which has little affection for Mr. Nyerere's socialism, contributed 25,000 tons of corn. The anomalies remain, however. At the same time as the food gifts began arriving at Dar es Salaam, news of another import began to leak out, though not in the official Tanzanian press. The country's Vice President, Aboud Jumbe, who is the leader of Zanzibar, a part of Tanzania with control over its own economy, has ordered a $5 million executive jet to wing his way from the island to the mainland, a 10-minute flight.
