Yes I do, and even though campaigners are in different parties, they generally all saying pretty much the same thing and pointing finger at each other.So actually, it isn't that productive.
That is what election campaign is all about, our problems as nations are the same, the ways to go about solving them may be different. These parties are offering different prescriptions, and in doing so they have to explain why they think their team is better than the other teams. Generally, it is not unusual for opposition parties to point fingers at the ruling party for failed policies. But hey, the ruling party has actually failed to deliver for the last decade...
Only a single candidate is practicing on national interests which are mainly issues on general election; infrastructures, health care, labour & wages, gender, utilizing natural resources, transportation, corruption, security and peace of our nation. While the other one is scared even to talk about corruption especially in public services for fear someone will brow him and his group. You never heard about whistlebrowing, psychometric testing & reapplying for our own jobs so as to employ people on merit on his government. That's why regular citizens should be voted leaders, they can see things at grass root level when those at the top are out of touch.
The problem is, you kept the pulse on what is up with CCM and haven't devoted a time to understand the rest of the parties...UKAWA said they'll bring back public funds stashed in foreign bank accounts, Sumaye touched on Kinana's illegal ivory dealings, Lowassa argued about the misuse of public funds that subsequently increased our national debt, Kafulila said Kikwete is wholly responsible in the Richmond scandal (by the way Kikwete is keeping a deaf ear and blind eye on Richmond), UKAWA consistently talks about all the famous corruption scandals including Meremeta, NBC privatization, EPA, Radar, Escrow, Giraffes illegal transportation and a lot others plus corruption at local government levels...The only party not talking about CORRUPTION with EXAMPLES but plan to create a special court for it is CCM....Ask yourself this, Is Magufuli having the audacity to send Kikwete, Kinana, Tibaijuka, Ngeleja, Chenge, Muhongo, Mkapa, Mang'ula, Makamba, Mwinyi and HIMSELF and Many Others to that special court? If the answer is YES, he should be voted for, if the answer is NO, he doesn't have anything new.
We're going to start the new era, this is not a monarchy that leader can inherit from the past leadership. I'm beaming in pride while watching the campaign. Magufuli is competent, well enlightened and articulate compared to Lowasa, physically and mentally.
Magufuli is up for a top post, he has worked and implemented the failed policies for a decade, there is no record of him differing with his Boss (Kikwete) with regards to those failed policies....You want us to bury Magufuli's past mistakes and poor decisions that has cost this Nation the taxpayers' money?...You have to understand that both his upsides and downsides are worth examining...
Magufuli is important, why.??? because he is right and realistically on the mark. I keep hearing few people not listening to Magufuli or just being evasive. He is having an essential national templates for creating and developing governance, economies and laws.
I didn't ask whether or not Magufuli is important...Instead I asked 'What he want and What People want' which one is more important?....For instance, In Magufuli's department at least 262 Billion Shillings just disappeared without explanation and you think he is a suitable guy to talk about corruption?
His poor decisions for instance in Apprehending Foreign Fishermen and their products in the International Waters, Handing over state residential houses to his girlfriends, Ordering dismantling of a Petrol Station in Mwanza, Purchasing a fake ferryboat, etc has cost this Nation Billions of Shillings...Lowassa on the other hand acted swiftly to end City Water contract, he said he wanted to act the same way on Richmond but was blocked by President (The president has not publicly denied)... We want someone who saves Public Funds not Waste it unnecessarily....We don't want someone with 'templates', we want someone with priorities
teh teh teh if it's blue and you're saying it's white, I'm saying you're lying.!! Just come out with a figure. Even if you don't actually make it happen, all the people who stand to benefit will vote for the guy who says what the people want to hear.
The issue here is not saying what people want to hear, People have heard enough promises and now it is even difficult for them to continue taking them in.....For example 'Maisha bora kwa kila Mtanzania' hasn't delivered a good and decent life for everyone instead it has delivered even more economic hardships and poverty....
Do you think photos in Lowassa's rallies are photoshoped? When your answer is YES, you have a real real problem..
Lowasa is saying what he will do as a president after having been prime minister and minister of various ministries for a long time. The question should have been what was stopping him from doing all this when he was in prime ministry office, MP and other various positions for over two decades.??? He just want to live in the mansion paid by the sweat and blood of Tanzanians. Why is Mto wa Mbu still experiencing illiterates each and every year.??? All a bunch of fools who think Tanzanians are fools.
May be your president was stopping him...refer to Lowassa's argument on ending Richmond contract....Lowassa has since wanted 'Education First' , his Boss wanted to pursue 'Agriculture First'....But hey, at least we know that somewhere along the way Lowassa wasn't seeing eye to eye with Kikwete on some issues....But we don't have such a scenario with Magufuli who has worked with Kikwete 100% of the time in different ministries....You see Kikwete is linked to Simba Trust (Escrow beneficiary) and Ridhiwan is doing Business in the State House (including selling cocaine and Heroine, I wonder how his Dad knew the SUPPLIERS by their NAMES)...Mkapa was doing business at the State House (ANBEN), Mwinyi and his wife were selling Ivory to the Arab countries, Kinana's company is selling Ivory.....So, when we say we want CCM out, we mean mean what we say and that we can't get a good leadership from the Guys in Green....
