While visiting England, Mr Mrema, Chairman of TLP, was invited to tea with the Queen.
He asked her about her leadership philosophy. She said it was to be surrounded by intelligent people.
He asked how she knows if they are intelligent.. "I do so by asking them the right questions," said the queen.. "Allow me to demonstrate." She phoned Tony Blair, " Mr Blair, please answer tis question: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child; and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"
Tony Blair responded, "It's me ma'am." "Correct!" "There you are Mr Mrema!"
"Thanks a lot ma'am. I'll definitely be using that!"
Upon returning to Bongo, Mr Mrema put the Minister of Infrastructure by then Mr Mramba to the test:
"Heh, brother, I wonder if you can answer a question for me?"
"Off course. What's on your mind?"
"Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this chils is not your brother or your sister.. Who is it?". Mramba hems and haws and finally says, "Can I tink about it and get back to you?"
Mr Mramba calls a meeting of all senior burocrats and they puzzled over the question, but could not come up with an answer.
Finally, in desperation, Mramba called Magufuli and puts the question to him. Magufuli answered immediately, "Simple, it's me, off course!"
Much rellieved, Mramba rushes back to Mrema and exclaims, "I know the answer! I know who it is! It's Magufuli, theMinister for Roads!"
Mrema replies in disgust, "PUMBAFU mkubwa wee, ovyo kabisa! It's Tony Blair!!"
