Wycliffe Muga: Magufuli 'Reforms' Are Meaningless

[The Boss]

The Boss njoo umsome huyu, nina hakika utapendezwa na tathmini yake na wala hutasema it is too early to judge (kama unavuosema tukimsifia).

Nakubaliana nae 100 percent....
Anachokifanya Magufuli ni kutengeneza kachumbari ya aina yake
lakini tunaosubiri ugali tule tushibe hatuoni dalili hata za kuanza kupika huo ugali
kachumbari ni yaina yake lakini ugali hatuoni

 

[The Boss]

Wanamgeuka tena??no more sifa?dah wanadamu bana

Tulipokosoa mwanzo walitutukana now

 

[adakiss23]

JPM alituaminisha tunaanza from square one. Kutuletea majina yale yale ni kutupumbaza tu.

How comes meaningless?, its meaningless if u provide data to justify ur urguments, presidential 5 star hotel suites are up to 40,000 usd per day and most of presidents one trip stay up to 5 days. it means 1 trip =5days=200,000 usd, this is amout only can be used in accomodation just for 5 days in usa talking nonesense politics. So u will find that normal president for the whole trip can spend from 500,000 usd up to 1m usd, also depends with number of staffs accompanied the president. Let's go with low cost of 300, 000 usd used for one trip , one year probaly president can have 10-20 , other presidents up 20,30, 40 trips. let's take just small number of 10 trip. Thus, 1 yr president can spend up to 500,000 usd*10 trip=10 trip*5days per trip*accomodation+flights+any other cost=5mil usd, is this small amount of money? 5mil *5yrs=25mil usd just for president, wht about ministers, member of perliament, government staffs and extra? U will find out the whole foreign trips can be up to 100mil usd, this is a lot of money for the poor countries , how many hospitals u can have in 100mil usd? if u want to see magufuli efforts is not meaningless just ask Mr Henry rotich, kenyans finance minister.

Unaona ni sahihi kuchukua maandiko ya Mkenya mmoja na kusema "Kenyans" ili ionekane kuwa ni kauli ya nchi nzima??

actually, ni mkenya mmoja. huyu mkenya ni mjinga sana, anafikiri watanzania tunafurahi tu kuwa ana cut costs, hajui kuwa kuna mambo mengine mengi anayafanya ambayo yametufurahisha kama vile kufukuza mafisadi TRA NA TPA, kukata network ya mafisadi. akili yake ndio imeishia hapohapo ndio maana huwa nasema watanzania tunaijua kenya kuliko wakenya wanavyoijua Tanzania. hopless kabisa huyu. na wataisoma namba.

 

[Wambandwa]

In late 2009, Uhuru Kenyatta, who was then Finance minister, launched what was presented as a major cost-saving initiative. ......................

But my point in explaining all this is to illustrate that the populist ‘cost-saving initiatives' that new Tanzanian President John Magufuli has embarked on, cannot really qualify as part of what Tanzania, like Kenya, really needs: a serious economic reform agenda.

Rather Dr Magufuli's headline-grabbing initiatives are very much like what Uhuru did with this scheme for dispensing with Mercedes-Benzes, when he was at the Treasury.

Such gimmicks are great for PR, and impress those who do not know how to count. But in terms of any potential positive impact on the economy – and especially in reducing endemic poverty – their significance is virtually zero.

Having a few dozen public servants flying overseas for conferences does not constitute a measurable setback for the Tanzanian economy. And stopping such petty extravagance will not make Tanzanians any better off.

It is mega corruption, and the failure to optimise on economic opportunities, that keep the ordinary Tanzanian as desperately poor as the average Kenyan. And it is precisely such complex challenges that presidents must have the courage to confront.

Mwezi mmoja umepita tangu aanze kazi anashindwa kuteu mawaziri wa wizara muhimu kama Elimu, Fedha na ujenzi? kweli kujenga PR bila mpango ni kazi bure.

wizara moja mawaziri wawili! watafanyaji kazi? nani atakuwa bosi? amesahau kuwa mafahali wawili hawaishi zizi moja? Sina imani naye.

 

[Peekaboo]

Just like your interviewer, you dont get it! You dare call the stemming of "oozing" of government revenue at the dar port and the grand collusion of it by the tax authorty tra petty and inconsequential?!!? You dont get it or you are all out to demean JPM's efforts!

Anyway wewe ni editor kanjanja wa gazeti la udaku Star; hatushangai ulichokiandika!

Why you getting personal though? You just don't get it, that's all. How far does that port issue go?
Apparently not far enough, give us numbers Man, give us the real culprits, give us the real reforms so that it doesn't happen again...... Eiish

I concur with him

Kula 5, nashangaa huu ushabiki ambao umejengeka kama vile mwaka umeisha. JK ilikuwa hivi hivi, nakumbuka mpaka gado akachora kikaragosi ambacho waandishi walikuwa anamlamba JK viatu. Lakini yote ni historia tunajua nini kilitokea miaka 10 baadae. Tuache ushabiki tufikiri na tupate muda wa kujiridhisha kwamba hizi hatua hazichukuliwi kama propaganda.
Wote tunajua nchi ilifilisika baada ya uchaguzi, sasa kwanini wasingekuja na jitihada za kubana matumizi?. Nani asijejua, kuhuusu maadili ya uongozi ni tatizo, na kikatiba raisi anateua kila mtu. Sasa kunajipya gani akitengua uteuzi wao. Si anatimiza wajibu wake. Tuache ushabiki ni mapema mno kushabikia utawala wa awamu hii.

Yes,so far so good,but too cosmetic.And his cabinet?Not impressive at all.It is old wine in a new bottle.It does not indicate that he is really serious in bringing meaning changes.The writer is right.Ufisadi,wizi na uzembe vimeshinda.Hii inathibitishwa na kwamba hatujaona kesi ya maana ukiungurumamahakamani.

Yes But at least he has shown courage!

Many initiatives will follow on cost curbing from Magufuli! We give him time!

Wait and see!

 

[Msulibasi]

huyu mkenya bavicha-nyumbu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SOBIBO]

Rais haongozi kwa tuhuma ana vyombo vya kuchunguza ndio maana alitumia muda mrefu kupata information Zao. Tumia ubongo kufikiri .

QUOTE=Jay One;14837681]Magufuli was not prepared well to lead as a Head of the State...!!!

Ila Mungu amuongoze, alianza vizuri.. ila baraza la mawaziri kavuruga sana.. Nape, Mwakyembe, January... hawa wanafaa kuwa mawaziri...? JPM hapa

Magufuli is doomed to fail soon baada ya hii PR anayofanya bila mabadiliko ya kimfumo na taasisi hakuna kitu

Mfumo ni nini?

 

[Wo shi niubi]

Who is better in PR between Magufuli and kenyatta ? who is better in PR btn magufuli and kikwete ?, cutting unneccesary governments expenditure is not PR, let us not be so biased to magufuli, Magufuli is only for kazi, yeye ni kazi tu sio maneno na kuandaa useless good speech, the journey of the thousand miles begins with one step, starts now, so magufuli had started well to bring disprine to his governmet and the effects to society or local mwananchi economically will be seen later for some few month or even 2-3 yrs. It shameful to have one president travelling abroad just to secure a deal of 200 mil usd, why we need to omba omba even small amount of money of buying medicine or ambulance or students loan or school chairs, materials from other countries? , for me i think mafuli is right to curb and elimiate unneccessary gvt expenses.

Kuna tofauti kubwa sana kati ya Rais Magufuli na Kibaki au Uhuru Kenyatta. Hao wakenya ni matajiri sana na ni mafisadi pia. Utajiri wao wameupata kwa kuwanyonya wananchi wao. Magufuli hana utajiri wowote na hana maslahi yoyote wala uhusiano na mafisadi. Ameanza kutekeleza ahadi zake za kampeni na tunaamini juhudi hizi ni endelevu. Naamini wanaomchukia wameanza kubanwa.
