JF especially jukwaa la siasa ni mahala pazuri sana kwa wanafunzi wa social sciences, aspiring social reformers and politicians of every level. Watu wanaweza toka na mengi sana kupitia jukwaa hili kwenye kulielewa taifa letu na changamoto zake zinazotukabili. Tungekuwa na mfumo wa elimu kama wa ulaya ambapo social sciences demand students to apply their theories on current issues nadhani tungetotoa wanafunzi wengi sana ambao wangetoa thesis zenye kuelezea matatizo yetu na tulipo kwa sasa kwenye ulingo wa siasa, uchumi na matatizo mengine ya kijamii.
Maana everything in relation to social information is available in JF, hata walimu wangeweza kuweka nakala za magazeti zenye angle fulani ya somo na kupata opinion za kisiasa, pumba za wachangiaji wengine (asilimia kubwa ya watu wetu) na angle za waelevu wa mambo to understand the social, wanapokuwa huko kwenye lecture theater discussions in relation to a theory wanayosoma au research mtu anayofanya.
Jana kulikuwa na thread ya Mkutano wa wapinzani ambayo mpaka dakika hii imefikia page 38, na picha zimewekwa za umati mkubwa wa watu walioudhuria na ushabiki wa kupindukia ndani ya thread. On the outlook it appears democracy has grown and people are informed about the political party choices which are available in the country.
That is until you discover the union of that meeting was fueled by what the opposition call a deprivation of democracy in the process of writing a new constitution. But then ask them what is their political demand in the new constitution CDM will most certainly point at the problems of Tanzanian union in their perspective. As for the other political parties we dont even know of their demands in the new constitution apart from disagreeing on the new government bill how the constitution should be written.
As for the people they do pose another conundrum of their purpose for being there nor what they demand in the new constitution considering most of human rights acts have been implemented in the existing constitution, better still there are elements of 'socialism ideals' in the current constitution that demand people are treated equally in politics and governments organs, therefore their problems lies with their representatives, with whom they are responsible for electing.
Sasa basi mtu unajiuliza hawa jamaa wa-muhimbili pengine na hospitali zingine za serikali zimeweka criteria ya malipo katika sehemu ya services zake, moja kwa moja unajua fees comes with a little bit more care from the service provider. On the other hand katiba inasema katika kutoa huduma za jamii kusiwe na criteria yoyote ambayo itamfanya mwengine abaguliwe katika kupata huduma yenye usawa kutoka kwenye vyombo vya serikali.
Hili ni tatizo kubwa sana kwenye jamii katika sector nyingi sana. Hivi ni nani alitakiwa kulisemea hili swala kama si vyama vya upinzani, taasisi huru za kusimamia haki za binadamu na raia wenyewe wenye kujua haki zao kisheria pengine na kuishitaki muhimbili kwa kuvunja sheria za haki ya mtanzania kwenye public services.
Kwa maana hiyo ule umma uliokwenda pale na kila siku ndio unaoumia na matatizo ya jamii, hivi katiba kweli ni matatizo yao au poor governance (simply ignorance from those people) and truth be said opposition parties are shying away from debates of those nature kwa sababu serikali inaweza kuja na changamoto za gharama na huwezo wake ndio maana imebidi kwenda na taratibu zingine na wao huwezo huo wa kuonyesha huwezakano bado hupo kwa kutumia facts za budget and running organisation at cheap all year long hawana, sana sana watasema kata posho and blah blah lakini kwenda na sera na kwa kuangalia gharama halisi za kuendesha mahospitali huwezo huo hawana. Kinachoendelea sasa ni ku-further their political ambitions hilihali matatizo yako palepale na hata wakishinda itabidi wayatatue kibaya ni pale ambapo hawayaongelei kwa jinsi watakavyo yamudu, ndio maana wengine wanaona hata kama CCM imeoza where is the realistic alternative.
Kweli ujinga wa mtanzania ndio mtaji wa wanasiasa kwa sasa.
