Rais Mstaafu wa Tanzania, Dkt. Jakaya Kikwete yupo nchini Zambia kumwakilisha Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan kwenye shughuli ya kitaifa ya kuaga mwili wa Mwendazake Rais wa Kwanza wa Zambia, Kenneth Kaunda.

Hapo awali nilishuhudia mkutano kati ya Bwana huyu na Balozi wa Marekani, ukiachilia mambo mengi anayoalikwa huko nje. Nachelea kusema kuwa sehemu kubwa ya Diplomasia ya nchi yetu inamuweka JK kama alama muhimu ya taifa letu huko Duniani. Bwana fulani alitaka kumzima huyu lakini inaonekana ana nyota kali ama anakubalika sana na mataifa mengine huko nje.

Inaonekana Madam President ni kama vile anamtumia JK katika kufungua mpaka iliyokwishafungwa na Hayati kaka. Hii ni kwa sababu Mama naye alikuwa namba 2 kwenye utawala wa Kaka ndo maana bado mataifa mengi yana mashaka naye.

Ni Mkwere pekee anayeweza kuifanya kazi ya kuwaaminisha kuwa mambo yamebadilika, na anaiifanya kwelikweli. Hapo Zambia hajaenda bure, you can imagine atakutana na viongozi na wafanyabiashara wangapi atakaowakaribisha kujenga uhusiano na nchi yetu.
 
Mwanzo nilidhani Samia atakuwa mwanademokrasia kama Kikwete asiyeogopa siasa, Kumbe ni Muoga tu kama Magufuli anaogopa kupambana na upinzani kwa hoja, badala yake anataka kuwafunga mikono wasifanye mikutano ya kisiasa.

Pia nilidhani ni reformer mwenye kujua kuwa tatizo halisi la nchi hii ni mifumo mibovu inayochagizwa na katiba mbovu kumbe ameamua kuwa caretaker president wa kukamilisha tu mhula wa Magufuli!
