mzee kipara akisoma paragraph kama hizi tumbo linaunguruma kwa gesiMagufuli has faced growing accusations by rights groups and others of being intolerant of criticism since he was elected in 2015. Live transmission of parliamentary debates has stopped, and opposition rallies have been banned until the next election cycle in 2020.
While we pray for a quick recovery of Tundu Lissu, However it is insincere to cast aspersions toward PRESIDENT Dr. John Pombe Magufuli.DODOMA, Tanzania — Gunmen shot and badly wounded Tanzania’s most outspoken opposition figure Thursday near his home in the capital, the government said, in an attack that shocked the East African nation known for its relative peace and stability.
Lawmaker Tundu Lissu of the Chadema party, who recently faced criminal charges after he called President John Magufuli a dictator, was wounded by an unknown assailant in Dodoma, said Home Affairs Minister Mwigulu Nchemba.
Lissu was shot in the stomach, leg and arm, said Dr. Charles James, a regional medical officer. A statement from the opposition party said the lawmaker was “seriously wounded.”
Police have launched a manhunt for Lissu’s attackers, said Gilles Muroto, the Dodoma police commander. He said more than one gunman occupied the vehicle from which the shots were fired.
Lissu, who also leads Tanzania’s lawyers’ association, had appeared in the national assembly earlier Thursday and apparently was being driven home when the attack occurred.
On Twitter, Tanzania’s president said he was saddened by the shooting and said he was praying for Lissu’s rapid recovery. The ruling party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi, condemned the “brutal and unnecessary incident.”
In July, Lissu was criminally charged with using abusive language after he called Magufuli a dictator over alleged attacks on the opposition and the media.

Ni rahisi kwa wajinga tuuWashingtop Post
Wamesema yote
Ni rahisi sana mtu kumhusisha Magufuli na kilichotokea jana kutokana na matamshi yake
Umenena vizuri mkuu, pamoja na kusema kwamba ni watu wanataka kuleta uchonganishi dhidi ya serikali and to our beloved president, but have you seen and read the letter that was submitted yesterday by the spokesman from CCM to the public, the letter was written 07/August/2017, je watu pengine wakisema hili tukio lilipangwa mapema ila ni mipango tu ilikuwa haijafanikiwa mapema nani atakaa, coz ile barua inazungumuza mengi sana, kwa mtu kama Lisu ambaye amekutana na changamoto nyingi kwa sababu ya kuikosoa serikali. Who Planned this myself i don't know, lkn pia siamini kama maadui wa serikali na rais Magufuli wamefikia hiyo hatua ya kutaka kuua watu ili ionekane kwamba serikali ndiyo inahusika.While we pray for a quick recovery of Tundu Lissu, However it is insincere to cast aspersions toward PRESIDENT Dr. John Pombe Magufuli.
Whilst the Washington post is entitled to its opinions, the TRUTH is,
there is NOTHING that is shrinking in Tanzania except the shrinking of CORRUPTION and the lords of the same are SCARED and are trying to divert our attention from CORRUPTION to Tundu Lissu.
Notably when you try to connect the dots on the timing of the shooting..
Was is it COINCIDENTAL or PRE PLANNED?
When the report on MINE and MONEY MISAPPROPRIATION was being released to the public???????
Therefore the excerpts from The Washington Post should be IGNORED totally.
such aspersions are wrong and misleading!!
Every Tanzanian is EAGER to know WHO these CRIMINALS are that shot Tundu Lissu.
Ma uongo mengine hayana maana. na hayasaidii nchi yetu.
Tunamtakia TL apone haraka aendelee na majuumu yake.
So according to you, political rally are taking place, those unknown people who hijacked Roma have been known, Ben Saanane has been found alive, those who invaded Clouds FM have been arrested, the unknown person who threatened Nape with the gun has been apprehended ect. Usitetee hali hii eti kwa sababu ya mambo mengine ambayo yangeweza kutekelezwa pamoja. Hali hii imeanza tu wakati wa utawala huu. Siamini kama kukamata mafisadi lazima wapinzani wa Mawazo yako wakamatwe Mara kwa Mara, watu watekwe na wengine kupotezwa. Hali hii inalipeleka taifa letu kubaya.While we pray for a quick recovery of Tundu Lissu, However it is insincere to cast aspersions toward PRESIDENT Dr. John Pombe Magufuli.

And outspoken suspicions will lead to even more incidents!Let us be calm this is the first incidence of its kind. Suspicions will lead to more suspicions
shige2 could be one of the govt officers who tries to pretend not seeing what is happening on the grounds of this country used to be known as the heaven of peace. It is true, every Tanzanian is praying to his God for Lissu's fast recovery. We know that even a killer can attend a funeral for the man he killed if managed to escape unnoticed. So, praying for Lissu does not excuse those who are responsible to ensure peace to their subjects. Our national figure, the Late Mwalimu Nyerere once said "mfichaficha maradhi kifo kitamuumbua", literally meaning, if you hide your sickness death will put you to shame. While continuing with fight against CORRUPTION, the safety of all Tanzanians and our visitors should be of priority number 1. The happenings of incidents similar to that of Lissu have increased latterly and they don't deserve shinge2's "...there is NOTHING that is shrinking in Tanzania..." Hell NO!, piece is shrinking very drastically. What shinge2 is trying to hide, as taking from Mwalimu, will bring tragedy to our country.While we pray for a quick recovery of Tundu Lissu, However it is insincere to cast aspersions toward PRESIDENT Dr. John Pombe Magufuli.
