The Boss njoo umsome huyu, nina hakika utapendezwa na tathmini yake na wala hutasema it is too early to judge (kama unavuosema tukimsifia).
Wanamgeuka tena??no more sifa?dah wanadamu bana
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.Unaona ni sahihi kuchukua maandiko ya Mkenya mmoja na kusema "Kenyans" ili ionekane kuwa ni kauli ya nchi nzima??
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.

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!
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.I concur with him
Yes But at least he has shown courage!
Many initiatives will follow on cost curbing from Magufuli! We give him time!
Wait and see!
Mfumo ni nini?Magufuli is doomed to fail soon baada ya hii PR anayofanya bila mabadiliko ya kimfumo na taasisi hakuna kitu
