Hivi ni kweli tunahitaji Rais Mzee?

[Nkobe]

Wadau katika pitapita zangu nimekutana na jambo ambalo nimekuwa nikilifikiria muda mrefu kuhusu marais wetu. Africa tuna viongozi wazee kuliko mabara mengine, je hii ni sababu ya kushindwa kufanya maendeleo?, mimi naamini mtu akiwa mzee anatakiwa awe mshauri tu. Mbona wafanyakazi wa kawaida wamewekewa umri wa kustaafu, kwanini sio viongozi? Katika uchaguzi ujao wanaoonesha nia ya kugombe ni wazee, akina Lowasa miaka 64+, Sitta 64+ nk.Mara nyingi unavyozeeka unakuwa slow sana katika utendaji kazi. Mimi naona tunahitaji kizazi kipya tuachane na hawa wazee, wawe washauri tu

Fortunately or unfortunately, whoever becomes our next president would be a comfortable member of the exclusive Very Old African Leaders' club. Other members of the club would be Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe (86 years), Abdulai Wade of Senegal (83), Paul Biya of Cameroon (77), Bingu Wa Mtalika of Malawi (76), Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia (75), Hifikepunye Pohamba of Namibia (74), Algeria's Abdelaziz Bouteflika (74), Rupiah Banda of Zambia (73), Jos? Eduardo Dos Santos of Angola (69), and Jacob Zuma of South Africa (69). The average age of the ten African presidents listed above is 75.6 years

Let's compare the ages of these African leaders with the ages of the leaders of the most developed countries. Angela Merkel ( Germany ) age 56, Nicolas Sarkozy ( France ) age 55, Jose Socrates ( Portugal ) age 53, Jens Stoltenberg (Norway), 52, Stephen Harper ( Canada ) age 51, Julia Gillard ( Australia ) age 49, Luis Zapatero ( Spain ) age 49, Barrack Obama ( USA ) age 48, Dimitri Medvedev ( Russia ) age 45, David Cameron ( UK ) age 43. The average age of these ten world leaders is 50.1 years.

The difference between the ages of the most developed countries and African leaders is 25.5 years. Coincidentally, it seems we are about 26 years behind as far as development is concerned.

An important issue is whether the ages of our leaders negatively affect their performances or not. Personally I think it does; the age of our leaders is hampering their performances. Thus, one of the reasons African countries are lagging behind is that our leaders are too old. It is not by accident that workers have to retire when they reach a certain age. How come our leaders don't retire when they reach, say, 70 years?

We all know the beautiful and limitedly true adage that old age connotes wisdom. Thus, due to their experiences the elderly are smarter and wiser. This is true in traditional societies where things remain the same or change very slowly. I'm wondering whether 86 year old Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe is computer/Internet literate.

The elderly fear change, and many of the elderly live in the past. In fact, that is why they are most likely to be scammed. How can a president who lives in the past be an effective leader in the present? Since they are not comfortable with change, they are more likely to resist change.

As we grow older our memory/brain and health start to fail us.

If we consider the rule of individual African leaders, they became worse as they grew older. Mugabe, for example, did well until old age caught up with him. As you remain in power for long, you convince/deceive yourself that due to your old age you know better than others. That's when you are less likely to embrace diverse opinions.

The presidency is a job, not a career. Unfortunately, our leaders have made it a career, and a private business for that matter.

An individual's skills particularly speed, agility, strength, and coordination decay over time and prolonged job boredom and lack of intellectual stimulation and forgetfulness all contribute to reduced productivity.

We have to set an age limit for the presidency

Mimi napendelea rais ajaye awe na miaka 200+ maana atakua na experience kubwa mno tokea Enzi zile za middle stone age

 

[gogo la shamba]

uzee ni busara na uwezo wako,hata ukiwa kijana ukiwa na busara utaitwa mzee kama wafanyavyo wachaga ukiwa na pesa utaamkiwa shikamoo mzee

uzee ni busara na uwezo wako,hata ukiwa kijana ukiwa na busara utaitwa mzee kama wafanyavyo wachaga ukiwa na pesa utaamkiwa shikamoo mzee

Inawezekanaje mzee wa miaka 70 aendane na kasi ya sasa ya dunia?

 

[Ngandema Bwila]

To me age is just a number, what matters is the vision and performanceof a respective leader. If we compareold and young leaders in Africa, there is INSIGNIFICANT difference among them!Kabila Joseph and Uhuru Kenyatta follow the SAME TREND OF THEIR Papas.

kwani uliambiwa wanashidana mbio,kinachofanya kazi ni mawazo yaliomo kichwani sio nguvu ya kutembea ingekuwa kutembea basi Kikwete ndie angekuwa rais wa dunia badala ya Obama

Hoja hii imeletwa na nani vile? Mwenyekiti mtarajiwa wa ACT?

Nkobe, mawazo yako yanafanana saana na Imebidi wa ACT. Mzee wa Nyaraka za usaliti. Je, mna mngombea wenu mfukoni mnayempigia kampeni zaidi ya yule msaliti?

 

[tenende]

Nkobe, uko offline. Unakuja kivingine kuchangia? Vipi utamuunga mkono "Kipara" au "Msaliti" kwenye uraisi "Kijana"

 

[Foundation]

haya mambo yenu ya ujana tulianza kuyasikia 2005. Na sasa mmerudi tena na ujana wenu wa kibaguzi. Kama wewe kijana unajiona unafit basi gombea urais kupitia chama chako, huyo mzee naye agombee . Sisi kazi yetu ni kuangalia sera zenu, na record zenu. Tukiacha huu ubaguzi, itafika wakati wanawake nao watataka mwanamke mwenzao, mashoga nao watataka mwenzao, dini nazo zitataka na hata kanda nazo zitataka. Kama mtu anaona ujana wake ni muhimu aende akawe Raisi wa Wasanii wa Bongo fleva na Bongo Movie huko

Rais ajaye awe KIKONGWE maana tumechoka kubishana kuhusu rais mzee ama rais kijana mnyoa kipara.

Aliyeandaa makala ameorodhesha takwimu kiusahihi lakini akashindwa kufanya uchambuzi wa kina kuweza kuelezea kwa nini inakuwa hivyo. Na ili kupata uchambuzi sahihi asingeishia hapo angeenda hata kwenye kada nyingine ikiwemo na zile za kitaalam.

Waafrika wanachelewa kuanza kufanya kazi za kuajiriwa, wanachelewa kuwa na biashara zao binafsi, wanachelewa kushika nafasi za juu katika makampuni au taasisi mbalimbali, n.k.

Ni muhimu kutambua pia kuwa nafasi za kisiasa kama Urais ili uweze kuupata ni lazima uwe na mtaji mkubwa wa watu ndani ya chama chako, watendaji wa serikali na kwa jamii ya wapiga kura. Na kwa upande mwingine unahitaji pesa. Kama huna pesa unahitaji nguvu ya ziada kuweza kujitambulisha kwa watu wa makundi mbalimbali, mara nyingi ni kwa utumishi uliotukuka, kama alivyokuwa Dr. Slaa (kwa michango yake ya pekee na ujasiri kule Bungeni), au uwe mtiifu wa kupindukia kwa walezi wako wa kisiasa (kama alivyokuwa Kikwete).

Waafrika waliobahatika, huanza kuwa na pesa ya kuonekana wakiwa tayari wana umri wa zaidi ya miaka 45. Baada ya miaka hiyo ndiyo wanaanza kujijenga, mpaka wakajulikane na kuweza kupata nafasi, tayari huwa wana miaka zaidi ya 60. Wale ambao hutegemea utii na wakati fulani kwa kujikomba kwa wakubwa wa vyama, hutegemea zaidi mpaka wakuu wa chama watakapojiridhisha kuwa utaweza kulinda maslahi yao.

Lakini ni ukweli usiopingika kuwa Marais wa Ulaya na Amerika huipata nafasi hiyo mapema kuliko wale wa kutoka Afrika, hali ambayo pia huonekana kwenye maisha ya kawaida kuwa Wazungu huanza kujitegemea mapema zaidi kuliko Waafrika. Waafrika hubakia kwenye himaya za wazazi wao mpaka wanapofikia umri wa miaka 25-30, ambapo wazungu wengi huanza kujitegemea wanapofikisha umri kati ya miaka 16-20. Tena Waafrika wengi hata wanapofikisha huo umri wa kuanza kujitegemea bado maisha yao huwa hayajatengamaa, na mengi wanayoyafanya huwa ni ya kuganga njaa, kununua furniture, n.k.

Kwa ufupi ni kwamba Waafrika, kisaikolojia wanachelewa kukua/kupevuka wakilinganishwa na wazungu. Maana kukua huendana na mawazo ya kujitegemea.

akiwa mzee asizidishe miaka sabin lakini naona pro.tibaijuka anafaa kabisa kuwa rais wa tanzania. wanamkubali sn hapa nchin

 

[iparamasa]

Inawezekanaje mzee wa miaka 70 aendane na kasi ya sasa ya dunia?

Hapana! Kwa mfano wasira,na juhudi zake za kupaka piko ili mvi zisionekane, lakini uzee wake uko wazi, yeye ndiye mshauri mkuu wa kikwete,ona anavyomyumbisha

 

[allydou]

kwani uliambiwa wanashidana mbio,kinachofanya kazi ni mawazo yaliomo kichwani sio nguvu ya kutembea ingekuwa kutembea basi Kikwete ndie angekuwa rais wa dunia badala ya Obama

Kijana SOMA hiyo Makala vizuri. Prof ameeleza vizuri sana hoja yako

 

[nuruyamnyonge]

Kwa vyovyote vile itakavyokuwa tunataka rais muadilifu tena awe mtu mwenye umri mkubwa kabisa kuanzia 60 na kuendelea. Hii itasaidia sana kwani kipindi cha mihemko kitakuwa kimekwisha pita. Na huwenda akatulia ndani ya nchi yake kuliko kusafiri kila siku ulaya.

Pia umri mkubwa wa rais ajaye itakuwa ni afya kwa taifa letu, kwa nini nasema hivyo; ni kwa sababu tukimuweka Rais mwenye Umri mdogo baada ya miaka 10 anastaafu. Niambie amestaafu kwa umri wa miaka say 48 yrs. Tutahitaji tena mara mbili ya huo umri kumtunza mpaka maani yake yaje yazeeka walipa kodi watakuwa mamekata tamaa maana tutakuwa tunahudumia Marais wastaafu chungu nzima.

Vijana tuache tamaa ya madaraka ikulu ni mzigo tusidanganyane labda utuambie unataka kwenda kuiba na si kinyume na hapo. Rais Mzee anatufaa sana sisi Taifa changa .

Kama Wazee wenyewe ndio akina six mmmghhhh
