I must say that am keen visitors to this forum and I like reading what JF Members are saying. Some folks in here like Mzee Mwanakijiji raise very interesting political issues that if they are well formulated can shape destinies for the Tanzanian public at large. It is apparent that our nation lies far much behind the development ladder despite the fact that we attained Independent more than five decades ago. We have seen different government regimes coming and going but have they lived up to their promises?
I would say, it is the high time we wake up from our slumber land and challenge and demand for our rights. Our authoritarians are day in day our taking us for a ride. The current political system in Tanzania can not achieve anything targible for the common man/woman. It really fascinates me how public offices slots attracts a huge number of contenders. Does it mean we have so many leaders within us? Or there is a hunger for something in the ruling elites that acts as the driving force?
On my own perspective, I would suggest a formation of an institution that would genuinely act as political watchdog. The so formed political watchdog would be tasked mainly in providing the much need civic education to the Tanzanian society. People needs to know their rights as we all know that knowledge is power and power is strength. It is upon knowing our rights that we can be able to keep our government on its toes and stop this culture of legislators raping our hard earned resources.
