(C) In a conversation with the manager and the publicity director of Dar Es Salaam,s Kilimanjaro-Kempinski Hotel hours after accompanying A/S Frazer to her October 18, 2005 meeting with then-Foreign Minister Kikwete, I commented on Kikwete's flashy attire, asking "Who dresses him?" "We do,"they responded. Initially thinking this meant Kikwete frequented a men,s shop in the hotel, I learned later in the evening from hotel publicity director Lisa Pile (protect) that the hotel owner*UAE citizen Ali Albwardy*had recently flown Kikwete to London for a subsidized shopping expedition.Among other things, on that trip Ali Albwardy bought Kikwete five Saville Row suits. He had also recently made a $1 million cash contribution to the CCM (which is a legal contribution under current Tanzanian law).---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Kikwete probably believes there is no harm in taking these "little gifts" to do what he would have been inclined to do anyway. That said, they are what they are: bribes.
Mimi nawashangaa wale wote wanaoshangaa. Hakuna muujiza hapo, labda kama hamjui siasa zinaendeshwa vipi katika nchi masikini. In summary, hakuna mwanasiasa yeyote (upinzani au CCM) ambaye anaweza kufanikiwa katika chaguzi za ndani ya chama na za dola bila kuwa na financiers. Sasa, kwa kutumia akili kidogo tu, hawa "financiers" hawawezi kuwa friends and family(FF) peke yao. Sasa hao wengine wote out of FF ni watu wenye interests zao a.k.a special interest groups.
Mkijiruhusu kushangaa haya mambo just because yameandikwa na wikileaks basi mnajiandaa kuwa wapokeaji wa mishangao kila siku. Kwa kifupi wewe jua tu kuwa every successful politician has some "special interest" behind him/her.
Unataka uelezewe favour ambayo Kikwete amewafanyia Kempinski? Tuanze na kuwapa jengo la mahakama ya rufaa. Tuendelee na kuwapa eneo la mbuga za wanyama Ngorongoro ambako imepigwa marufuku kujengwa hoteli kwa sababu ni route ya wanyama. Bado unataka uelezewe favour kweli? Nchi inauzwa for very cheap wewe bado unauliza favour? Mguu wangu! Uzuri wa Marekani wana sheria kabambe za michango ya kampeni. Yote inaorodheshwa na anajulikana anayeitoa. Tanzania inatolewa kisirisiri tu. Huwezi kulinganisha.Lazima tuwe wakweli kwa nafsi zetu at some point. Hivi mtu anayefanya kampeni za urais au hata ubunge akipata hotel fulani ikajitolea kumfanyia ukarimu wa kuhost mikutano yake for free atakataa. je, sheria ya nchi inakataza hilo? Tatizo letu tunatumia sheria za nchi nyingine kujadili masuala ya Tanzania.
Hivi mnafikiri hayo mahelkopta mnayosikia yanaruka angani wakati wa kampeni yanalipiwa na pesa za ruzuku? Au tunangoja mpaka wikileaks waje kutuambia kuwa yalilipiwa na mfanyabiashhara fulani ndio tuanze kushangaa? kwa kifupi, kampeni ni gharama na kama sheria ya nchi haikatazi kupokei mchango sio dhambi.
Itamake sense kujadili rushwa hapa iwapo tutakuwa na kidhibiti cha favor ambayo rais amewafanyia hao kempinski kutokana na fadhili waliyompa.
Hillary Clinton alipokuwa senator on New York alikuwa anapokea USD 150,000 kila mwaka toka kwa "special interests" na kampeni zake zilikuwa sponsored na special interests pia. Cha msingi ni kutokutoka nje ya mipaka ya sheria ya nchi tu.
Hii ni aibu kubwa kwa nchi kwa mkuu wa kaya kununuliwa suti za Saville Row in exchange for permission to destroy our country's heritage; allowing these Arabs to build a hotel in the national park!! Haya ndio matokeo ya kuchagua watu wasio na maadili kuongoza nchi, na laiti uchafu wake usingefichwa na Mkapa wakati wa kuyapitisha majina ya wagombea mwaka 2005, mkweree asingeitia najisi Ikulu.

President Kikwete informed the Ambassador that the GOT had decided to appoint a military attache to the United States and that his government would formally communicate this to the USG in the near future. President Kikwete explained that the decision reflected the GOT's desire to deepen military cooperation with the U.S. and develop stronger military-to-military ties. Ambassador Retzer told President Kikwete that he was very pleased with the decision and the overall progress toward expanded U.S.-Tanzanian military relations. Ambassador Retzer noted that he was looking forward to visiting the Msata Clinic with the President on August 24 as the clinic represented the first humanitarian project undertaken by U.S. and Tanzanian military forces since the 1990s..........
.....President Kikwete also raised a personal request with the Ambassador: his desire to send his personal staff for management training in Washington D.C. He explained, "I would like to send some of my aides and maybe some press officials to the U.S. to gain greater experience on how to manage a President's Office." President Kikwete named two of his assistants, Januari Makamba and David Jairo, whom he believed would benefit from such training.Ambassador Retzer responded positively, assuring President Kikwete that the Embassy would look explore every possibility for facilitating such a training program................
......CUF has not yet decided to look beyond Hamad for a new leader; (ii) a power struggle within the ruling party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), has constrained President Kikwete's ability to influence the Government of Zanzibar (GOZ) and advance his "reconciliation and dialogue" agenda; and (iii) the reconciliation process between CUF and CCM on Zanzibar remains "haunted by ghosts of the (1964) revolution."......
......."It is very important to Pembans that the President of Zanzibar be from Pemba. Some Pembans are so loyal to Hamad that they claim to see his face on the moon!" ........

Labda in summary tu, kuna mtu anaweza kutuambia Kikwete kama waziri wamambo ya nje aliwapa favor gani Kempinski hotel au Kikwete kama Rais amewapa favour gani Kempinski hotel? Kama hilo litashindikana basi mtu atueleze ni sheria gani inayomkataza waziri kupewa zawadi?
Halafu jamani pamoja na wivu mnaomuonea Kikwete jaribu kucontrol nafsi zenu, hivi waziri wa mambo ya nje anaweza kuhongwa suti? hivi pesa ambazo Kikwete amekuwa anasaidia watu mbalimbali zingeweza kununua suti ngapi?
Wewe umefahamu hii habari..umefaidika na nini?Hizi habari ningefurahi sana kama zingeandikwa na kutangazwa na vyombo vyetu vya habari,ili watanzania wengi zaidi wayafahamu haya....lakini mmh!
