Are we that ignorant and stupid that we dwell on misery and enjoy the 2 minute love making with those who deceive us every 5 years?
Rt Hon.Rev, I feel that you are barking up the wrong tree. The motive and meaning of your message are clear, robust and succinct but the audience is amiss. This is the real reason why incompetence reigns in Tanzania. Yours or the votes of a few other well informed individuals are outweighed by the majority many. In many cases, intellects like the ones who presumably hover around places like these, have given up, they have become disinterested with whatever is going on and feel not an ounce of pride, duty or obligation as far as their participation in the electoral process is concerned.
The real voters (i.e the majority that elect a someone in a "free" democracy with an overwhelming majority of over 80% (Saddam must have smiled at this) ), reside in the far ends, the hinterland and very few see the big picture. But there do exist a few brave ones, but one by one they have been forced into line. They are simply a dying breed. It is an uphill task and I for one fear that we are advocating and/or fighting a losing battle.
You see my Rt Hon. friend, for someone whose primary goal is day-to-day survival, asking that fellow to forgo these gifts or the promise of a borehole, 2/3 classrooms or the ultimate one;a paved road, in their area in favour of country wide changes seems and is likely to remain irrational. That's where the real battle lies.
I am disillusioned.
Dear Comrade,
Mwenye macho haambiwi Tazama. I am not barking at a wrong tree, I am barking at the right tree here at JF!
Most of us are champions of criticism, but we are failing short to spread the gospel of revolution to our relatives.
We have senior leadership from some of opposition parties dwelling amongst us, but everyday you see them taking no action to convert the free spirit of revolution here at JF into action plan for their party growth and such.
It is a cry for help, cry of giving up, thus the Rt. Reverend will be retreating away from giving out communion for the non believers!
Have a great weekend enjoying, Ubwabwa, Ulabu, Kikoi and Gagulo!
I have a suggestion to all these though I know watu wengi sana watakuwa wanakosewa haki yao ya msingi ambayo ni right to vote.
I suggest that only the TAXPAYERS to vote.
Why only TAXPAYERS?coz its their money that these good for nothing fellas are kidding around with.Coz its also the taxpayers wenye uchungu mtu ambaye halipi kodi halielewi hili lakini mlipa kodi lazima kimuume hiki cha bora kiongozi.
Theoretically sensible and likely to avert adverse selection. How you do define a tax payer? Almost every transaction involving a monetary exchange in Tanzania is subjected to VAT, are consumers regardless of the weight of their baskets also tax payers and should they also vote?
Another thing is foreign flows dependency. When more than 32% of the budget depends on foreign funds will allowing tax paying voters only also contribute to transparency and accountability?[/QUOTE
.Just think of those people in the remote villages who can be lured by simple things like 'takrima'which is a form of bribe but was justified by CCM to mean a gift or those nothing doers in Uswahilini who can only vote for a leader only if wamepewa Khanga and think of a person who pays tax day go and day come what they would feel to see the way their money is played around with?
Ndio maana siku zote unasikia watu wakisema kwamba ni rahisi CCM kupita vijijini kuliko mijini why?Its because hawa CCM they know hawa easy minded people wanapatikana vijijini na ni rahisi kuwadanganya.
