We all craved president who will contour Tanzania, make it less corrupt, eradicate poverty by building sustainable infrastructures, create industries, make agricultural inputs available for farmers, manage natural resources, create market for our agricultural products, create employments for youth, reduce growing gap between the rich and the poor and improve social services and so on. I believe majority of our prayers were accepted because we got a president who have chosen to work for the people of Tanzania, doing what other could hesitate to do, and mostly chosen to save the majority.
Tanzania had a very corrupt system, now the country is one of the best examples in fighting corruption because of increased transparency and accountability in all the Government undertakings, for the first time the country is ranking 99 out of 180 countries. The intolerance for corruption has won Dr John Magufuli attention and admiration worldwide. He promised to fight corruption without fear or favor and that is what he is doing. To him, no one is above the law, no one to spare if he has not fulfilled his responsibility. His fight is for Tanzanians to stand alone economically and one day to become a donor country.
Moreover, the accountability and work ethic among public employees was not acceptable, now the situation has improved more than ever, nowadays the public confidence from the public institutions has been restored, services are offered on time, the bureaucracy is cut; the working environments have been improved. People are enjoying being serviced by the public servants because he has changed the culture of public servants of business as usual to a culture of working hard and smart. He has declared to everyone that if you are given a public office; you use your time to work for people and not otherwise.
There was a time where public servant used to hold official meetings outside the country and spend millions of tax payer’s money. These needless public trips were very common before he issued a directive banning public officials from traveling abroad on expensive trips paid by taxpayers for meetings that can be conducted in the public office.
Early 2019 the government tightens currency control with new regulations on foreign exchanges bureaus to fight money laundering and currency speculation. Around 100 bureaus were closed following the government revoke of the license to continue with business. The money laundry prevalence has been reduced and the currency now has been stable.
In a society there will always be those who are constructing and those who are destructing, we have both in our country. One important thing I would like to tell those who are hindering the effort of our beloved president Dr.John Magufuli is that:-
It is time for us majority and not for the small group of people who are willing to do anything to spoil our country for their self-interest. We know in every country some people do their best work to help the country move forward and other hinder the country to move forward. This small group interest is now publically known; we will not let them do what they are planning to do. This small group of people still believes, this is an era where the member of the family of political leaders would get an extra privilege; I think they have to tune your mind. This situation has changed and you have to accept it.
Those who are using you are very corrupt and yet their people have surprisingly positive views of their government. People in Europe, US and elsewhere tend to view their government as legitimate, even when they’re being surveyed outside of their countries and they’re not going to get caught or hurt if they say something negative about their government. This doesn’t meant their administrations are perfect, American will not broadcast what is seems to be negative to their country image, black people are being killed in America in dozen.UK and other European countries have their problems. Therefore if you don’t love Tanzania, it is better you remain silent and watch, because there are millions of Tanzanian who have no place to escape to, you ignite the fire today same day you fly to Paris or any other place leaving woman, children and other people suffering.
Our beloved President has been listening and accepting constructive critics from those who speak truth about the Government, but intolerance to those who speaks lies, spoils the country’s image and collude with those milking the country. These are few individuals who are constantly insulting the President and inciting violence that will bring the chaos to undermine the Government.
