The NEC Member CCM, Nape Nnauye refuted the claim made by CHADEMA's John Mnyika that there is a contract between politicians and the voters during elections. The claim was made during "This Week in Perspective TV Show that was aired by TBC.
Earlier in the program Nape had maintained that in politics, achievements of politicians can not be measured since there are no contracts made. He further called for review of the existing systems to ensure that contracts are made between the politicians and the people.
When given chance by the host of the Program Mr. Adam Simbeye to comment on the matter, Mr. Mnyika maintained that there are already contracts between the politicians and the voters. He maintained that according to the law of cotract, they can be written or unwritten; therefore the elections manifestos are written contracts while the electrol promises are verbal commitments that politicians are supposed to fulfil.
He alleged that what is lacking in our country is power of recall to hold accountable policians who have failed to impliment the contracts, and further alleged that even the elections have not been effective tool to remove from power leaders who have failed to fulfil the elections promises.
The matter raised a serious debate between the two and left the other two guests in the program Aidan Eyakuze and Charles Mgendi puzzled.
While Mnyika was being smashed by points poured the program was prematurely taken off air
