Ni juzi Ijumaa niliuliza humu Kigugumizi cha nini kwenye Uraia Pacha? Shuhudia unavyowakwamisha Watanzania kuwekeza nyumbani. Miradi, mijengo ya maana ingeota kama uyoga, leo nakutana na hii hoja, uraia pacha wetu jameni ndio huu!.
Haya sasa ndugu zetu wana Diaspora, mliopoteza uraia wa Tanzania, mnapewa uraia pacha, kwa kutambuliwa rasmi kupitia special status kwa kuomba tena kurejeshewa uraia wako wa Tanzania uliopoteza, kwa kusajiliwa na kupewa Kadi ya Diaspora Tanzanite Card, ambayo itakupa haki zote za Utanzania ulizopoteza, ikiwemo kumiliki mali, ila sijajua kama na haki ya kupiga kura pia mtapewa, maana kuna mijitu mioga kama kunguru!.
Mambo yenu ni haya.... yameishatua Bungeni na kusomwa kwa mara ya kwanza, sasa serikali inapokea maoni ya wadau, kikao kijacho cha Bunge, hii ngoma, inasomwa kwa mara ya pili na kupitishwa, hivyo huu ndio uraia pacha wetu.

My Take.
- Najitahidi sana kutafuta maneno malaini kuhusu mhimili wetu wa mahakama wenye jukumu la kutafsiri katiba, sheria na kanuni, Serikali inatunga muswada wa sheria batili kinyume na katiba, Bungelinatunga sheria batili, na mahakama umekaa kimya!.
- Mtu akipata uraia wa tanzania kwa kuzaliwa, uraia huu hauwezi kuondoka milele!. Sambamba na mtu akiwa raia wa Tanzania kwa damu ya wazazi wake, uraia huu hauwezi kufutika milele!. hivyo sheria yetu ya uraia iko kinyume na katiba!.
- Mtu ambaye ni Mtanzania aliyepoteza utanzania wake kwasababu ya uraia wa nchi nyingine, hakupaswa kupewa special status, tulipaswa kuruhusu uraia pacha, kisha Watanzania wote wenye uraia mwingine, kurejeshewa uraia wao wa Tanzania, na hiyo special status ndio iwe ya ule uraia wa nchi nyingine!.
- Mpaka sasa bado najiuliza, hiki kigugumizi cha nini kwenye hoja ya uraia pacha?.
- Ushauri wangu kwa Diaspora, if you can't get what you want, just take what you get, shukuru kwa hiki kidogo ulichopata, kisha endelea kudai kikubwa!. Mtu kuzaliwa Tanzania ni haki ambayo haiwezi kuondolewa, na mtu kuwa na damu ya Tanzania ni haki ambayo haiwezi kuondolewa, haki zetu bado zinafanywa ni hisani!.
Paskali.
