Let me also share my views a little bit,
The users of Social Networks happened to be people and voters as well. They are communicating offline the same way they do online. So, make no mistake, the significant impact of social networks in the next TZ presidential elections is likely to be up bigly.
A dictator is a person who rules a country with total authority and often in a cruel or brutal way. I don't understand how 'benevolence' fits in here!!
We all want the best for this country and that's why we have to hold all our leaders accountable when they fail to be responsible.
When the President thinks that by virtue of taking the election forms by himself, then he doesn't have any obligation to listen to the people, he has to be reminded who he is working for.
It would be much better, if the President would have spent more time fixing the institutions of Tanzania so that he doesn't have to walk on every office door in an attempt to discover the irregularities and summarily fire public servants suspected of ineptitude and corruption . As long as we have weak institutions, institutional problems will still remain.
Did you know? that the dismissed public servants are still on the payroll getting their monthly paychecks? Some are holding their breath waiting for new appointments elsewhere contrary to his campaign promise of not doing just that.
All those people that Dar RC called from his list are out there walking freely and no evidence to prosecute them as suppliers of narcotics.
He literally failed on that war. A good idea was to find a way to work behind the scenes and collect the necessary evidence before calling anyone but he decided to do the opposite. So, lets assume they are real drug lords, they are kind of cleansed right now, aren't they?
By the way, storming the media company and threatening the station staff there with blackmail and jail is wrong in all conscience regardless of how it emerged. Not apologizing for it is even worse!
Many people support a right cause and a lot of things being said are not lies to be honest with you. The statements are only branded as lies when they are in attacking mode and not applauding mode.
You are mixing things sir, the Viroba operation had a lot to do with the environmental issues and less about alcoholism effects, because changing packaging doesn't curb consumption for addicts.
Alcoholic products have not been banned, instead the producing companies are required to use alternative packaging.
Kenyatta was destroying the business of home made toxic alcohol that was no verified by KBS, Magufuli on the other hand was going after Viroba which are verified by TBS.
Kenyan problem required a sense of urgency as people's lives were in danger and some had died.
Tanzanian case did not require such moves.
The evidence is his statements. He openly and publicly stated that the government had diverted the use of funds that should have gone to the people who suffered the quakes.
