ona huyu, na bado anataka:

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will stand for re-election next year despite rumours about his health, a senior ruling party official has said.
"The National Democratic Party (NDP) candidate will be President Hosni Mubarak," the party's media chief Ali Eddin Hilal told Alhurra TV channel.
Mr Mubarak has been in power since 1981. He will be 83 years old when the election is held next October.

He is supported by Americans & Jews..hakuna wa kumuondoa hapo..labda kifo.

Kwa upande mwingine umri nadhani sio hoja..cha msingi ni kuwa na kiongozi bora. Kiongozi bora anahitaji awe binafsi walau anajua dunia ilipo sio limbukeni ambaye atashangaashangaa kila kitu, pia awe walau na maono yake binafsi na na kipawa cha kumanage watu especially kuunda timu nzuri ya washauri..sio asskissers.

Mkuu hujachagua wazee tu Afrika na vijana tu Ulaya? Akina Kikwete na akina Kagame walio kwenye 50's hawamo kwenye sample yako.

Mimi sidhani kwamba umri wa viongozi ndio hasa issue kubwa inayosababisha kutokuwa na maendeleo ya kasi.

Ofcourse wanaozidi 80s kama akina Mugabe mara nyingi huwa senile, lakini kwani dunia ya kwanza si wapo pia?

There are several reasons, however what you mentioned might be one of them

The Truth tells itself....where is the position of Tanzania in the list? Read this partial story from the International Mineral Revenue Transparency Watch!

Mineral revenue secrecy fails Dar in global ranking Tuesday, 19 October 2010 07:53 digg

By Alvar Mwakyusa

Tanzania has scored poorly in an international survey on mining revenue transparency.

The Revenue Watch Index 2010 places Tanzania 37th among 41 countries that were surveyed. The Revenue Watch Institute and Transparency International conducted the study between November 2009 and April, this year.

Tanzania scored 27.8 points out of a possible 100 points. Brazil tops the rankings on 97 points.

Tanzania exported 38.1 tonnes of gold worth $1.4 billion (Sh1.96 trillion at current exchange rates) between July 2009 and July 2010, accounting for about 43.5 per cent of total exports, according to the latest Bank of Tanzania monthly economic report. However, tax from these exports is not known as public disclosures have not been made mandatory.

Point nzuri. Viongozi wengi wa kwanza katika nchi nyingi za kiAfrika walichukua nchi wakiwa vijana, kati ya 40 na 55, na waliboronga big time. Nchi ikiwa haina history ya Excellence kuboronga ni kitu cha kawaida tu.

Actually those mentioned African Countries are doing much much better than the rest....

Again, leadership in developed world is like operating a Pc loaded with software while in Africa we tend to rely on human ability and experience (jembe la mkono). Believe me, very few African President have a clue how stock market (wallstreet) works?..

Sababu hao viongozi wetu mpaka leo wanatoa visingizio vya UTUMWA na UKOLONI kama sababu ya msingik kwa nini sisi ni UNDERDEVELOPED. sababu za msingi zauongozi bora hawazisemi na wanafunzi hawafundishwi kuchallenge decision za kisiasa.

Developed countries nao wanatudanganya na viongozi wetu wanakubali kuwa sisi ni DEVELOPING countries .kitu ambacho inatakiwa wajue kuwa we are note developing contries we are UNDERDEVELOPED.

Sasa kwa nn tuko underdeveloped hizi ni fact

• Much of the national income which remains within the country goes to pay individuals who are not directly involved in producing wealth but only in rendering auxiliary services-civil servants, merchants, soldiers, entertainers, etc.What aggravates the situation is that more people are employed in those jobs than are really necessary to give efficient service; and to crown it all these people do not reinvest in agriculture or industry. They squander the wealth created by the peasants and workers by purchasing cars, whisky and perfume.

• It has been noted with irony that the principal ‘industry' of many underdeveloped countries is administration. Not long ago, 60%, of the internal revenue of Dahomey went into paying salaries of civil servants and government leaders. The salaries given to the elected politicians is higher than that given to a British Member of Parliament, and the number of parliamentarians in the underdeveloped African countries is also relatively high. In Gabon, there is one parliamentary representative for every 6,000 inhabitants, compared to one French parliamentary representative for every 100,000 Frenchmen. Many more figures of that sort indicate that in describing a typical underdeveloped economy it is essential to point out the high disproportion of the locally distributed wealth that goes into the pockets of a privileged few..... ... source http://www.blackherbals.com/walter_rodney.pdf

  Hicho kitabu kimeandikwa 1983 naamin hata kina kikwete na mkapa walikisoma

Sasa hawa mafisadi wanaiba hela na bado hawainvest kwenye kilimo. pesa za chenge kwa nn asingenunua RANCH? Mara kumi ya Sumaye aliyefanya usanii wa kuwekeza kwenye kilimo kiasi kuliko wanaotaka tuwaone wasafi kumbe pesa zao ziko geneva.

Huo mfano wa idadi ya wabunge angalia zenj ratio ya mbunge per wananchi. anao represent. Nahata kama wanach ni wengi sisi matatizo yetu ni common. ELIMU, AFYA, MIUNDOMBINU,KILIMO. kila mkoa wabunge wa4 wanatosha

Spika sita ofisi yake ya ubunge anawekewa samani za ulaya wakati mkoa wa tabora una misitu.mkoa wa tabora una mafundi seremala wanaoweza kutengeneza viti vya kukalia japo wageni.

Uliza katika wabunge wotewa CCM na upinzani ni yupi anashonesha suti kwa fundi kukuza ajira jimboni kwake au tanzania??? wote wanataka suti zenye label za italy. Alafu bungeni wanajadili juu ya kulinda bidhaa za kitanzania. yaani inakera sana

For that, why compare their Presidents with Africans!

 

[Kichuguu]

Sikiliza;

Reagan alikuwa rais mzee kuliko marais wote wa marekani kiasi kuwa Nyerere alipostaafu na miaka 63 alikuwa ni mdogo kwake, lakini anakumbukuwa sana kwa kuwaongoza wamarekani kwa kuwapa matumaini sana na nguvu sana kitaifa. Hata Baraka Obama alisema anataka kutawala kama Reagan.

Kwa hiyo umri unaweza usiwe ishu kubwa sana katika uongozi.
