Magufuli: First EA President with a doctoral degree

Tanzania?s ruling CCM party candidate John Pombe Magufuli is set to take over as the next president from the outgoing Jakaya Kikwete after winning the just concluded presidential elections.

Magufuli garnered 58% of the cast votes, beating his main rival Edward Lowassa, who managed 40% of the votes.

The elections were billed as the fiercest that the governing party has faced in its 54-year stay in power.

Magufuli?s win was a perfect birthday gift for him as he had just celebrated his 56th birthday.

In Magufuli, Tanzanians have a very educated president who has accrued vast educational qualification.

He holds a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Dar-es-Salaam, having earned his Bachelor?s Degree from the same institution. He has at least seven publications to his name.

He joined the ruling CCM party in 1977, slowly growing through the ranks to become a Member of Parliament in 1995 till 2010.

Before his election as the CCM flag bearer, he?d been the Minister for Works and MP for Chato constituency.

Magufuli is known to many as a man who is aggressive for results, honest and full of integrity.

MY TAKE
BTW, Kenya lags behind in this category has had two Presidents without degrees; Kenyatta and Moi. Also on records Tanzania is trail blazing other East African countries by having the first elected (not appointed) female vice President.

nomasana, MK254, sam999, NairobiWalker, hbuyosh, msemakweli, simplemind, Kimweri, Bulldog, MK254, Kafrican, bagamoyo, Ngongo, AbTitchaz, mtanganyika mpya, JokaKuu, Ngongo, Askari Kanzu, Dhuks, Yule-Msee, waltham, Mzee Mwanakijiji, Mwananchi

He is also the first idiot president ever who knows nothing about other countries who doesn't understand the language you are writing

Ukweli ni kwamba Shein ni (alikuwa?) RAIS wa kwanza EA mwenye PhD. ya kusomea tena ya UK. (In 1984 Dr. Shein joined Medical School at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, England for a PhD study where 1988 he was conferred with a PhD degree in Clinical Biochemistry and Metabolic Medicine specializing in "Inborn errors of Metabolism").

Its is certainly not a must!!! The language any president that campaigns, is that of their native country and definatly not english!!!! Which means english is NOT a prerequisite to making it to presidatial office.. Nor sikuwah kusikia any rule or law that says a president should speak english.. English maybe one of the worlds premier language lakini sio only one.. Infact thats why kuna translators by profession so ur out of point!!!!!!

Jitathmini kwanza kabla povu halijakutoka.

I can't wait for Magufuli to assume office of chair of the EAC summit. Sijui atakuwa anawaaddress kwa lugha gani...hehee
Au atumie tu Kiswahili. Itawalazimu hao wengine kujifunza Kiswahili.

Nafikri Kiswahili ni lugha ya mawasiliano kwenye jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki, hivyo anaruhusiwa kuitumia. Shida sasa inakuja kwa ndugu yangu anavyopenda kujitia madahiro, najua atalazimisha kuitumia hiyo lugha pamoja na kwamba inampiga chenga!! Sijui tutajificha wapi na hii aibu? Hivi hawawezi kumwingiza darasani angalau kwa miezi 6 ya kujifunza tu hiyo lugha? Maana nilichokisikia hata mtoto wa chekechea hawezi kuongea hivyo!

Jamani kitufe cha "like" kimeenda wapi? Umenivunja mbavu kwenye hiyo ya kutamanigi kuingia uvunguni, sasa subiri president elect uje umsikie na kama siku hiyo utakuwa uko Kenya utazodolewa mpaka ukome! Na hapa najiuliza sijui mchepuko wangu nitauambiaje na hicho Kiingereza (rafiki yangu wa Burundi alikuwa anaita "Chongereza")

How have you known that your president knows nothing about others' countries? If yes,is he going to rule those countries? Halafu unaona lugha ya kingereza ni dili sana, ni ww tu unaitetemekea, Magufuli anatamba na lugha yake ya taifa,hivi rais wa China alivyokuja Tz alikuwa anaongea kingereza? usiwe mtumwa wa fikra za kimagharibi.

Hon doctor professor jakaya mrisho kikwete ....

Sio muda waalumbano sasa,uchaguzi umeisha ,kilichobaki ni kushikamana na kusonga mbele.
