Dar es Salaam. Scholars and political stakeholders say the country is contending with a moral and ideological vacuum, 17 years after death of the Tanzania’s founding President, Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere.
Speaking yesterday at a forum to discuss how Mwalimu Nyerere’s teachings and leadership style influence Tanzania’s present day holders of office, they said moral decadence, elements of tribalism and religious bigotry are a sign that the values that he upheld and nurtured have been eroded. The event was organised by the Uongozi Institute in collaboration with the embassy of the People’s Republic of China and the Tanzania-China Friendship Promotion Association. In his opening remarks, retired President Ali Hassan Mwinyi said integrity has deteriorated and the country is losing direction like a vehicle with malfunctioning steering rod.
