For the past week, the Tanzania socio-political platform has been on the edge of struggle between the greedy sect of the opposition leaders and the people. The struggle is a clear indication of a total blackmail to the achievements made so far by the 5th government of Tanzania.
According to the recent updates from the World Bank (WB), it is now clear that the World Bank (WB) has delayed lending Tanzania an amount equivalent to $500m as a result of a meeting held between the WB executives and the activists operating in Tanzania.
Besides the meeting, the decision might have been fuelled by a letter from Kigoma North Member of Parliament Mr. Zitto Zuberi Kabwe (ZZK), the Party leader of a religious-oriented party, the ACT-Wazalendo.
Well, I don't see any problem with the WB turning down the loan if and only if their source of information was credible. For some reason, the two sources might have delusions, are questionable, lack merit, and cannot be trusted in their drive against the loan to support the Free Primary & Secondary School Education (FPSSE) in Tanzania.
Unlike other educational projects that have been implemented in Tanzania, the current Free Education and Secondary School Education Project has been implemented with success, benefiting millions of both boys and girls in primary and secondary schools.
To date, no case has been recorded related to the misuse of the FPSSE funds that could be a political agenda to taint President Magufuli’s leadership. So far, with the program reaching four years of its implementation, there have been nothing to question about the management of the funds, and this is driving the opposition mad.
As a parent whose kids are benefiting directly from the program, three questions rings up my mind when I think of the motives behind the stoppage. Many Tanzanians are troubled by the hypocrisy of ZZK. Maybe the frontiers can help us answer these questions:
At the age of five (5) Josina (daughter) has travelled to several countries in the world as part of an excursion, out of his father's sponsorship something that many Tanzanians cannot afford. (The Zittos’ naming fascination). Reports indicate that Josina is studying at a private school whose fee is about 11 million per year. This is equivalent to educating 50 primary school pupils through the Free Education. As a matter of factor, whether the FPSSE program fails, Josina and Umkuluthum will still enjoy the highly paid schools within or outside the country.
The Tanzanian dark writer to the WB, ZZK, is well known for his greed for leadership, corruption, religious driven politics, and malicious fabrication of data as well as lack of institutional political mind-set in issues of national interest. Allow me to justify these observations in the next few paragraphs.
ZZK has been serving the opposition for over two decades acting under the leadership of the former Presidents Benjamin William Mkapa (the 3rd president) and Kakaya Mrisho Kikwete (4th president). With zero tolerance to corruption under the leadership of President John Joseph Magufuli (5th President), he has turned to be a man of zero reasoning.
Although his political ambitions started over the last two decades, his greatest political achievement was recorded during the 4th president, a period characterized by high tolerance to corruption, shroud deals, and the emergence of elements of religious extremism to which ZZK is a beneficiary.
As a member of “Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo” (CHADEMA), he headed a number of parliamentary committees such as the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), POAC, etc, a position that enabled him to meet, intimidate and make corruption deals with private and government parastatals between 2005-2015.
Being a senior corruption cartel, and under the umbrella of the committee’s chairmanship, ZZK, through his several hidden companies like leka-dutigite-ltd, ripped government parastatals by threatening them to support his companies else they face poor recommendation from his committee. Having collected enough from these parastatals, he ended up playing the politics of the “Sitting Allowances” by opting not to take the meagre parliamentary allowances provided by the parliament of Tanzania.

More examples of his shroud deals are well documented many times in this forum and other forums alike. A quick reference is:
Usaliti wa Zitto Zuberi Kabwe haujaanza leo.. The report gives a compressive investigation of his ill motives since 2010. An excerpt of the article written in Kiswahili reads:
Uchunguzi umebainisha kuwa akaunti namba 033B 33093101 Berliner Bank ya German iliendelea kuingizwa pesa kwa nyakati tofauti kutoka Tanzania kupitia NMB akaunti namba 2231604658 yenye jina la TSA ambayo ni moja ya akaunti za siri za TISS. Mfano: tarehe 29/9/2010 siku ya juma tano, kiasi cha dola 250,000 kiliingizwa kwenye akaunti hii 033B 33093101 ya Ujerumani, kutoka akaunti namba 2231604658 NMB Tanzania, Tarehe 06/01/2011 siku ya alhamisi, kiasi cha dola 240,000 kiliingizwa kwenye akaunti hii 033B 33093101 ya Ujerumani, kutoka akaunti namba 2231604658 NMB Tanzania.
Tarehe 21/6/2011 siku ya jumanne, kiasi cha dola 240,000 kiliingizwa kwenye akaunti hii 033B 33093101 ya Ujerumani, kutoka akaunti namba 2231604658 NMB Tanzania, Tarehe 09/12/2011 siku ya ijumaa, kiasi cha dola 255,000 kiliingizwa kwenye akaunti hii 033B 33093101 ya Ujerumani, kutoka akaunti namba 2231604658 NMB Tanzania.

Tarehe 13/12/2012 siku ya alhamisi, kiasi cha dola 255,000 kiliingizwa kwenye akati hii 033B 33093101 ya Ujerumani, kutoka akaunti namba 2231604658 NMB Tanzania, Uchunguzi umebainisha kuwa pesa zote zilimfikia Zitto kwa njia ya Western Union akitumiwa dola 50,000 mpaka dola 20,000 kati ya wiki mbili mpaka mwezi mmoja.( Usaliti wa Zitto Zuberi Kabwe haujaanza leo..)
This report gives Zitto’s dark accounts and transactions used for money loundering and managing his corrupt deals.
An excerpt from an article published by the Citizen in 2013 title “The billionaire who ‘fixed’ Zitto Kabwe” (The billionaire who ‘fixed’ Zitto Kabwe) documented some of Zitto’s greed both nationally and internationally.
As President is increasing efforts in thrashing down corruption and so is the bitterness of ZZK against President John Pombe Magufuli. He has shown his true colors, a person of greed, and an advocator of religious driven politics. As politician who enjoyed a free ride during the 5th president’s error, he is thrilled to do anything as long as the sitting president is not a man of his dominion. A quick observation of this claim can be shown in his support for the once emerging militia group in KIBITI, the southern part of Tanzania.
The group’s modus operandi was characterized by killing the local and the ruling party leaders in a manner that was signified by well-trained extremist religious group. It is until when the government under the leadership of John Pombe Magufuli started to thrash the militia is when we came to learn about their sponsors.
Their sponsors came to limelight in different fashions, as vocal political leaders, as silent government officials, as clerical religious leaders and of course well-coordinated media personnel. The Kibiti’s case was a timed bomb, a hatching militia group that later could have busted out to other parts of the country.
Thanks to the strong leadership of the current president, they are now hanging-out as falling ambassadors calling him a dictator. Well, yes, he is a dictator to the looters, corrupt politicians whose aim is nothing but meeting their greed.
Malicious fabrication of data has been his means of a political approach to brainwashing those who don’t take the trouble of questioning the merits of his data.
His recent political career is intertwined between religion and a circle of the suffocating corruption cartels. He has turned to be a mouthpiece of those who looted the country’s reserves in the past.
I feel very sorry to the parents and students from Kigoma North constituency and congratulations to Josina and Umkuluthum.
With kind regards to all Tanzanians.

As a parent whose kids are benefiting directly from the program, three questions rings up my mind when I think of the motives behind the stoppage. Many Tanzanians are troubled by the hypocrisy of ZZK. Maybe the frontiers can help us answer these questions:
- What is ZZK losing by the World Bank stopping the $500m FPSSE loan?
- What political gain will his party ACT Wazalendo get once this cash is withheld?
- How many pregnant school girls have been stopped from resuming their studies? And of course, what is their fraction with respect to both boys and girls benefiting from the program?
- Have frontiers read the Tanzania Education Policies since independence?
- What percentage of the members of parliament supports ZZK’s move to block the loan?
At the age of five (5) Josina (daughter) has travelled to several countries in the world as part of an excursion, out of his father's sponsorship something that many Tanzanians cannot afford.
