Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

[Rutashubanyuma]

it was ominous one for the ruler

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

according to the vision there were two messages

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

the first was forewarning

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

change your draconian ways

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

or face the wrath of your Maker

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

as a matter of inconvenient coincidence the wife of a ruler fell sick

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

with the spirit of tradition running amok it was of little surprise our self-proclaimed prophet was politically persecuted for his unwelcome candour

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

the dpp invoked the usual incitement charges and damaging the reputation of the ruler

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

before the matter came for a hearing the accused sought his constitutional rights to bail

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

then the ugly serpent head of this regime reared its axis of evil

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

the axis of evil conjoining the executive and the judiciary was too conspicuous to ignore

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

while our constitution instructs for separation of powers between three arms of the government but there are almost vacancy in terms of legislative provisions to ensure such nobler intentions are adhered to

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

while the Bench has security of tenure but its recruitment and promotion remains an executive excursion pitting the judiciary unto executive machinations

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

while members of the Bench have very little worries of losing their plum posts but the greed for promotion and executive appointments compromised its independence

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

even the retired chief justice Ramadhan at one time when he was no longer held under hostage by the executive after retirement discerned appointments and promotions that were of questionable metier had split the Bench unto shards reaching tectonic levels where some high court judges hurled insults to associate justices of the court of appeal

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

in this aura, we are not dazed when bail is politicized

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

indeed, we remain totally unfazed when we witness the judiciary caricaturing itself unto an executive puppet!

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

as I have indicated early the offenses Godbless is charged with are bailable without much fuss

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

as much as I resent getting into technicalities involved but i feel the obligation to depart from this stance of eschewing the technical matters

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

the procedure to granting bail is found in the criminal procedure code sections 148-160
