President Magufuli was only good if he could be a Prime Minister but to be a president is too much for him. His education background is also a problem as to be a doctor in Chemistry it makes you not to think out of the box, what you know are formulas and reaction of chemicals. The president position needs somebody who at least has done Political Science and International relations which can make him widening his thought of thinking. A good leader would like to be challenged and the same time to prove himself not using police to crush others. Also needs somebody who can focus and show vision and direction of the country. He always telling us what has done so far without focusing on what he wants to be done and this is lacking of leadership skills. Finally is our president for the another five years to come. Let not loose hope may be good things will come out of him as the time goes.

Hi guys,
I promised you that I will air my views on how I see President Magufuli performing on the 13 principles of democracy. I listed them last time but I won't explain all. There were 9 technical ones and here is what I am bringing to you. Strong mind discusses ideas. I guess you're all intellectuals! In my opinion President Magufuli scores 1/9. Is this score to be proud of..?

1. 
   Citizen participation is the most indication to whether democracy grows in a country or not. Government should involve its people in all decision making process. Participation is not only the citizen’s right but also the citizen’s duty. Citizen participation takes different stages like standing for election, becoming informed, debating issues, attending civic meetings or community meetings, being member of private (voluntary) organizations (NG’O), paying taxes and even protesting. Participation just builds a better democracy. An unknown author once wrote “listening is a function of a heart not an ear”. How does President Magufuli exercise this principle?
   
   
2. Equality; Democratic people put emphasis on this principle that all men and women are created equal. Equality ensures that every individual has an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents, and believing that no one should have poorer life. All individuals are valued equally and may not be discriminated because of their race, origin, religion, disability, ethnic group, gender or sex orientation. My question are all Tanzanians valued equally? How does President Magufuli adhere to this principle?
   
   
3. Political tolerance defined as the willingness to extend the basic constitutional rights---the right to speak, to publish, to run for an office – to offensive groups and ideas. Communities, leaders and people should be tolerant to politics. The right of the minority should be protected. People who are not in power should be allowed to be organized and speak out. Minorities are what we call today opposition because they have ideas that are different from the majority. Ordinary folks should also be tolerant to each other. Democratic society comprises people of different backgrounds, faith, race, cultures, origin and for that they should differ in views on how the majority governs the country. Critics to the government is a supreme and the government should come out with answers to these critics. The goal of democracy is to make the best possible decision for the society. Suppose if the government (which is true today) denies the right to and destroys the opposition, then it also destroys democracy. To make this possible all people should be respected and their opinions are well needed. Let the society discuss, debate, oppose each other and question the government in all matters if they are not satisfied, they should protest peaceably and hold their leaders accountable. Tell me how President Magufuli upholds this principle? Observe it thoroughly!
   
   
4. Accountability in any democratic society has always been understood that elected and appointed officials to be accountable to the people. They are accountable to what they say in public and to their actions. Their power to exercise the mandate and perform at work must always reflect the will of the people. Public interests must super-exceed personal interest. They are elected or appointed to serve the public and not for themselves. Tell me what President Magufuli has done regarding to Tegeta Escrow Account. He created “Mahakama ya Mafisadi” yet nobody is charged in that court. He calls himself a “bulldozer” man to clean up the mess of the previous administration. Has he done it? Yes! According to law? The answer is No! You do it according to the laws.
   
   
5. Economic Freedom; People must have some form of economic freedom. An economic freedom embraces private ownership of property and businesses. People are also free to choose their own work and labor unions both from private sector to public sector. The role the government should hold in the economy is to be open to debates and dialogue with labor unions. It is generally accepted in democracy for government to accept free market and that the state should not control totally the economy but play a greater role in balancing the income inequality between the wealth and the poor and other forms of unfair practices among enterprises.
   
   
6. Control of abuse of power; one of the most common abuse of power is corruption which occurs when government officials use public funds for their own benefit or exercise power in an illegal way. To protect from these abuses, the state is often structures to limit the powers of government offices and the people who work in those offices. For example, the Judicial, the legislative and the executive branches of government have distinct functions and duties and can “check and balance” the powers of other branches. Additionally, independent agencies can investigate and impartial courts can punish government leaders and employees who abuse power. Our high and Supreme Court Judges are only accountable to the president. For that reason our courts are not independent. How far have we gone in this under President Magufuli?
   
   
7. Bill of rights; These are rights that defend and protect people against the abuse of power. It enshrines the rights and freedoms citizens are entitled to in the country. When bill of rights became part of the country’s constitution, then the courts have the power to enforce these rights. A bill of rights limits the power of the government and it imposes too duties on each individual citizen and organizations. Do we have a bill of rights in Tanzanian Constitution?
   
   
8. Human rights; The office of the UN human rights defines human rights as “rights inherent to all human beings. No matter of our nationality, place of residence, sex, color of our skin, ethnic origin, religion, language, disability, gay or straight, married or single, old or young or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible”. Human rights mean those values that reflect respect and human dignity. Since we all know that democracy indeed enshrines the value of every human being, then we should all live in harmony as members of one family. It is the duty and great responsibility for the government to uphold these rights. Examples of human rights are freedom of expression, association, assembly and protest. Listen to what President Magufuli has said toward 1st September when the opposition in the country will demonstrate all over the country. Listen to Interior Minister Nchemba has said…what’s wrong if people are exercising their rights?
   
   
9. Rule of law; Completely derived from international accepted standards. The world justice project (WJP) defines rule of law as “ a system in which the following four universal principles are upheld”.

1. 
   
   1. The government and its officials and agents as well as individuals and private organizations are accountable under the law.
   2. The law are clear, publicized, stable and just; evenly applied and protect fundamental rights including security of persons and properties.
   3. The process by which laws are enacted, administered and enforced is accessible, fair and efficient.
   4. Justice is timely delivered by competent, ethical and independent representatives and neutrals who are of sufficient number, have adequate resources and reflect the makeup of the communities they serve.
   In a democracy, no one is above the law, neither the king nor an elected president. The rule of law means that everyone obeys the law and be accountable if they violate it. Democracy emphasizes that the law be equally, fair and consistently enforced as the “due process of law requires”. Now watch what is happening in the country? President Magufuli is the number one in violating the laws. He has replaced the rule of law into the rule of Magufuli? Where are we heading as a nation? Nobody is accountable to the law. The country has slipped into dictatorship.

President Kikwete spent most of his time in office building up a nation, President Magufuli is busy in building up a country.Even though the two are closely friends but the two statements never mean the same.

Mkuu hivi ni rate au late manake sisi wengine lugha gongana

WALE MASAINT KAYUMBA WENZANGU NIMEIWEKA KWENYE GOOGLE TRANSALATE ALAFU IKALETA KITU KAMA HICHI,NAAMINI HATA MKULU ATANIPONGEZA. HAHAHAHA!
Hamjambo,
Niliahidi kwamba mimi watatoa maoni yangu juu ya jinsi naona Rais Magufuli kufanya juu ya kanuni 13 ya demokrasia. Mimi waliotajwa yao mara ya mwisho lakini mimi si kueleza kila kitu. Kulikuwa na 9 ndio kiufundi na hapa ni nini mimi kuleta na wewe. Nguvu akili kujadili mawazo. Nadhani wewe ni wasomi wote! Kwa maoni yangu Rais Magufuli alama 1/9. Ni alama hii ya kujivunia ..?

ushiriki wa raia ni dalili zaidi iwapo demokrasia inakua katika nchi au la. Serikali inapaswa kuhusisha watu wake katika mchakato wote kufanya maamuzi. Ushiriki siyo tu haki ya raia lakini pia wajibu wa mwananchi. ushiriki wa raia inachukua hatua mbalimbali kama amesimama kwa uchaguzi, akikosa habari, kujadili masuala, kuhudhuria mikutano ya kiraia au mikutano ya jamii, kuwa mwanachama wa mashirika binafsi (hiari) (NG'O), kulipa kodi na hata wakipinga. Ushiriki tu hujenga demokrasia bora. mwandishi asiyejulikana mara moja aliandika "kusikiliza ni kazi ya moyo si sikio". Ni kwa jinsi gani Rais Magufuli zoezi kanuni hii?

usawa; watu Democratic kuweka mkazo juu ya kanuni hii kwamba wanaume na wanawake wote wameumbwa sawa. Usawa kuhakikisha kwamba kila mtu ana fursa sawa ya kufanya zaidi ya maisha yao na vipaji, na kuamini kwamba hakuna mtu anapaswa kuwa na maisha maskini. Watu wote ni thamani sawa na inaweza kubaguliwa kwa sababu ya wao mbio, asili, dini, ulemavu, kabila, jinsia au ngono mwelekeo. Swali langu ni watanzania wote yenye thamani sawa? Ni kwa jinsi gani Rais Magufuli kuzingatia kanuni hii?

uvumilivu wa kisiasa inaelezwa kama nia ya kupanua haki za msingi za kikatiba --- haki ya kuongea, kuchapisha, kuendesha ofisi - kwa makundi kukera na mawazo. Jamii, viongozi na watu wanapaswa kuwa wavumilivu na siasa. haki ya watu wachache lazima walindwe. Watu ambao si katika uwezo waruhusiwe kuwa na utaratibu na kuzungumza nje. Minorities ni kile tunachokiita leo upinzani kwa sababu wana mawazo ambayo ni tofauti na wengi. watu wa kawaida wanapaswa pia kuwa wavumilivu kwa kila mmoja. jamii ya kidemokrasia inajumuisha watu wa asili tofauti, imani, rangi, tamaduni, asili na kwa kuwa wanapaswa tofauti katika maoni yao jinsi wengi inasimamia nchi. Wakosoaji wa serikali ni kukubwa na serikali inapaswa kuja na majibu ya wakosoaji hawa. Lengo la demokrasia ni kufanya bora iwezekanavyo uamuzi kwa jamii. Tuseme kama serikali (ambayo ni kweli leo) anakanusha haki ya na kuharibu upinzani, basi pia kuharibu demokrasia. Kufanya huu watu wote wanapaswa kuheshimiwa na maoni yao ni vizuri inahitajika. Hebu jamii kujadili, mjadala, kupinga kila mmoja na kuhoji serikali katika mambo yote kama hawajaridhishwa, wanapaswa kupinga amani na uwajibikaji wa viongozi wao. Kuniambia jinsi Rais Magufuli upholds kanuni hii? Kuchunguza ni vizuri!

Uwajibikaji katika jamii yoyote ya kidemokrasia daima imekuwa kuelewa kwamba viongozi wa kuchaguliwa na kuteuliwa kuwa kuwajibika kwa watu. Wao ni kuwajibika kwa nini wanasema katika umma na matendo yao. nguvu zao kwa zoezi mamlaka na kufanya kazi lazima daima kuonyesha matakwa ya watu. maslahi ya umma lazima super-kisichozidi maslahi binafsi. Wao ni aliyechaguliwa au kuteuliwa kutumikia umma na si kwa ajili yao wenyewe. Kuniambia nini Rais Magufuli amefanya kuhusu Tegeta Escrow Akaunti. Ameziumba "Mahakama ya Mafisadi" bado hakuna mtu kushtakiwa katika mahakama hiyo. Yeye anajiita "tingatinga" mtu safi juu ya fujo ya utawala uliopita. Amefanya kosa gani? Ndiyo! Kwa mujibu wa sheria? Jibu ni hapana! Kufanya hivyo kwa mujibu wa sheria.

Uhuru wa Kiuchumi; Watu lazima kuwa na aina fulani ya uhuru wa kiuchumi. uhuru wa kiuchumi unadhihirisha umiliki binafsi wa mali na biashara. Watu pia ni huru kuchagua mwenyewe kazi na ajira vyama vyao wote wawili kutoka sekta binafsi na sekta ya umma. jukumu la serikali lazima kushikilia katika uchumi ni

1/9 is too high, my marking from your correct criteria he gets -1/9. He has no knowledge of governance nor political leadership experience.

[YEHODAYA]

ushiriki wa raia ni dalili zaidi iwapo demokrasia inakua katika nchi au la. Serikali inapaswa kuhusisha watu wake katika mchakato wote kufanya maamuzi.

Wakati vyama vinajinadi wakati wa uchaguzi CHADEMA walijinadi kuwa wao ni wana demokrasia sanaaaaa.Na wakachonga midomo mno kutuaminisha kuwa wakishika dola demokrasia na domokrasia itakuwa kila mahali tukawasikiliza tukawaelewa.

CCM nao wakaja na staili yao wakasema tukishika nchi mafisadi watatukoma,tutatumbua majipu bila huruma na hatutaendekeza uhuru wa maneno maneno tutaendekeza HAPA KAZI TU.

ilipofika kupiga kura wananchi tukaamua kumpa kura Magufuli na kumpiga chini Lowasa na hiyo demokrasia yake aliyoongea.Wananchi tulishaamua tunataka kiongozi aina ya Magufuli.Tukampa kura afanye maamuzi kwa ajili yetu tulio wengi.Wale mnaopenda mfumo huo maoaushobokea wanachi tuliukataa tunataka wa aina ya Magufuli huo wa kwenu mliuleta tuupigie kura tukaugomea kwenye sanduku la kura.Kukataa ilani yenu na mlichokuwa mkinadi ikiwemo na hizo demokrasia zenu koko ina maana kuwakataa tulizikataa na hizo demokrasia zenu.Mlituambia kwenye kampeni tulisikia sanduku la kura tukagoma.

Kama Magufuli ni Dikteta sisi wananchi tulio wengi ndio tulimuweka na tunataka aendeshe nchi kidikiteta.Kusema hamtaki udikiteta mnatutukana tulio wengi tuliompigia kura na hilo hatutatakubali nyie wachache mtubabaishe tulio wengi.
