As a loyal cadre of Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), I feel compelled to raise a critical issue regarding the integrity and accountability of the presidency as an institution. Allegations have recently surfaced that the late President John Pombe Magufuli may have been personally involved in the tragic death of Ben Saa Nane, claiming that he used his own pistol within the walls of the State House. These claims, if left unchecked, pose a grave threat to the reputation of the presidency and could set a dangerous precedent for further baseless accusations against our leaders.

If these allegations are ignored or dismissed without investigation, it opens the door for opponents of CCM or detractors of Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan’s administration to fabricate similar accusations against her. For instance, it would not be far-fetched to imagine claims emerging that Dr. Samia herself ordered the abduction of an individual, such as Mzee Kibao, and executed them at the State House using her own weapon.

Such allegations, even if unfounded, would tarnish the reputation of the presidency and undermine the confidence of Tanzanians in their leaders. The presidency is not just a personal office—it is the highest symbol of the state’s authority, integrity, and commitment to justice.

Why This Matter Must Be Taken Seriously

1. Preserving the Legacy of Leadership:
Ignoring these allegations leaves a shadow over the legacy of our past presidents and creates unnecessary room for speculation. Dr. Magufuli’s contributions to the nation should not be overshadowed by unverified claims.

2. Upholding the Presidency as an Institution:
The presidency must remain above reproach. Allegations, whether true or false, erode public trust. Failing to address them decisively signals weakness and encourages the perpetuation of damaging narratives.

3. Political Weaponization:
In our highly polarized political environment, silence on such matters allows opposition groups to weaponize these claims against CCM and the government. This could lead to a loss of public trust and credibility, both domestically and internationally.

4. Rule of Law and Justice:
Investigating allegations ensures that justice is served if wrongdoing occurred and absolves the innocent if the claims are baseless. This reinforces the principle that no one, regardless of rank, is above the law.

The Way Forward
To safeguard the integrity of the presidency and the CCM legacy, the following steps are essential:

1. Official Investigation:

The relevant institutions, such as the Office of the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) or a special commission, should thoroughly investigate the allegations against Dr. Magufuli.

2. Transparency:

The findings of the investigation should be made public to demonstrate that the presidency is committed to justice and transparency.

3. Proactive Communication:

The State House and its representatives should issue clear statements addressing the allegations and outlining steps being taken to investigate.

4. Strengthening Institutional Integrity:

CCM and the government should use this moment to reaffirm their commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting the presidency as an institution beyond individual officeholders.

My conclusion

As a CCM cadre, I urge the presidential institution under Dr. Samia to address these matters decisively. Silence is not an option when the integrity of the highest office in the land is at stake. The State House must act now to prevent further damage to the presidency’s credibility and to ensure that no leader, past or present, is wrongfully implicated without evidence.

Let us protect the sanctity of the presidency and continue building trust between the government and the people.
 
Magufuli killed him and we sadly know that. If you are serious then we need to start with new constitution instead of fighting for democracy. You should blame Magufuli ego.

It is important to address these allegations carefully and base our conclusions on evidence. So far, there is no concrete evidence to support the claims that Magufuli killed Ben Saa Nane. Instead, many incidents of people disappearing have been linked to opposition leaders, including Mr. Mbowe.

There is even a thread that claims Ben Saa Nane was assigned a duty to travel to South Africa by Chadema. However, after he went missing, no substantial information was provided by Chadema about his whereabouts. During this period, Chadema’s leadership kept insisting that Ben was safe, on duty, and would return home soon. Such inconsistencies raise questions about the role of the leadership within Chadema, and there is evidence to suggest that Mr. Mbowe may have had a direct hand in Ben’s disappearance.

If you believe these matters need resolution, the focus should be on pushing for systemic change, starting with a new constitution. Fighting for democracy without addressing the underlying issues of transparency and accountability will not yield sustainable solutions. It is equally crucial to hold all actors, including Magufuli, accountable for any alleged involvement, based on credible evidence, rather than speculation or political narratives.

That's why it is necessary to have maridhiano in order to make sure such acts should never be repeated. There is no human blood tha goes in vain. That's why Magufuli himself is no longer because he has crossed the line!
 
Where is Ben Saanane??
My fellow Great Thinker, the disappearance of Ben Saa Nane continues to raise serious questions and concerns about accountability and truth. As we seek answers, we must carefully examine all available evidence and the role of those involved in the events surrounding his disappearance.

There are claims that Ben was assigned a task to travel to South Africa by Chadema, yet after his disappearance, no concrete information was provided by the party about his whereabouts. During this time, Chadema’s leadership, including Mr. Mbowe, repeatedly insisted that Ben was safe, on duty, and would return home soon. This inconsistency leaves room for speculation about what truly happened and raises questions about the direct involvement of Chadema’s leadership in the matter.

Allegations that the late President Magufuli was personally involved in Ben’s disappearance and possible death are also circulating. If these allegations are true, they paint a grim picture of abuse of power at the highest level. However, without credible evidence, these claims remain speculative and politically charged.

For those serious about finding justice for Ben, it is vital to demand transparency and accountability from all parties involved. This includes advocating for a thorough investigation into the circumstances of his disappearance and holding those responsible accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.

To move forward as a nation, we need to address systemic issues like the lack of accountability, the culture of impunity, and the gaps in our legal and constitutional frameworks. A new constitution that strengthens the rule of law, ensures accountability, and protects citizens’ rights is a critical step toward ensuring such tragedies never occur again.

So if you ask again, where is Ben Saa Nane? Let us focus on finding the truth, ensuring justice, and building a Tanzania where no one has to ask such a question again.

It’s true that the issues surrounding Ben Saa Nane’s disappearance and other such incidents call for deeper reflection and action. However, when discussing the late Dr. Magufuli, we must acknowledge that his death is often attributed to the fact that he was killed by those who didn’t appreciate the way he dealt with corruption, embezzlement, and other injustices. This highlights the gravity of the situation we are in as a country.

It’s clear that no human blood goes in vain. History shows us that acts of impunity, violence, and disregard for justice eventually catch up with those responsible. Dr. Magufuli himself, despite his accomplishments, crossed certain lines that may have contributed to his downfall. His death serves as a reminder that no one is above the consequences of their actions.

This is why maridhiano (reconciliation) is not just important but necessary. We need to create an environment where such acts—whether it’s the disappearance of individuals like Ben Saa Nane or the alleged targeting of leaders—are not repeated. Reconciliation will ensure that the cycle of blame, vengeance, and injustice is broken, paving the way for a stronger, united Tanzania.

As a nation, we must demand truth and justice for all past wrongs, hold all leaders accountable, and work toward building systems that uphold the dignity and rights of every citizen. Only through maridhiano can we ensure that these tragic chapters in our history do not define our future.

What you are wishing will never happen - so many issues have arisen on the broad day light - nothing has been done, remember the statement "kifo ni kifo tu".

My friend Intuition, I understand your frustration, but let’s look at history to remind ourselves that even systems that seem unshakable can collapse when their foundations are no longer strong. The fall of the Roman Empire is a prime example.

The Roman Empire was once the most powerful entity in the world, commanding vast territories and resources. Yet, over time, corruption, political instability, and a failure to address internal issues led to its decline. Leaders ignored critical problems, and instead of resolving them, they let complacency and short-term thinking dominate. The Empire fell because its people and leaders failed to adapt and address its foundational weaknesses.

Similarly, in our context, the saying “kifo ni kifo tu” might suggest resignation, but it shouldn’t stop us from striving for change and accountability. Yes, many issues have surfaced in broad daylight, and the lack of action is frustrating. However, ignoring these problems or accepting them as unchangeable is what leads to the collapse of systems, just like in Rome.

The lesson here is clear: wishing for change alone isn’t enough, but neither is surrendering to hopelessness. History shows us that systems can and will fall if the cracks are not addressed. Let’s not let our current situation mirror the complacency of the Roman Empire. Instead, let’s push for accountability, justice, and progress—because every effort counts, and every voice matters.

Hahaha comrade Salary Slip tunagonga leo lugha ya King Charles, maana post za kiswahili zina attract mpaka wale wenye upeo mdogo kazi yao matusi. So in general tunaongea lugha zote kwa sababu tunataka haki na mabadiliko ya kweli. Mwaka huu ni wa kushughulikia changamoto na kuhakikisha sauti za kila mmoja zinasikika. Hatutachoka mpaka mambo yaende sawa!

Don’t waste your time on this matter . Magufuli killed him and you need to move on. As recommended instead of wasting your time fighting for better Tanzania! Fight for democracy and new constitution instead of fighting loosing wars. As catholics we already pray for Magufuli forgiveness he is fine in heaven

How do you know the allegations are baseless?
