I think you've to take account of where the country was when he took over and where he left it. You also have to take into consideration other factors related to the progress of a citizen, community, society and a country as a whole.<BR/><BR/>One thing you're right about is if there was anything that failed, it was his responsibility and some did fail. But you can't compare the failure of Bush and McCain to grasp their failures to those of mwalimu simply because we didn't have much in education policy or economic policy compare to the U.S. If you're going to measure Mwalimu's policy you should use the merits of other countries comparable to ours at the time he was in power.<BR/><BR/>And if you think the war with Uganda didn't take a toll on the economy, look at the U.S now after the war in Iraq. War don't only cost lives, they cost money in a big way. <BR/>The expectation of overnight success in building certain policies in economics and education should not be the norm for any country. Mwalimu did not have all the answers, neither do we now but he did better than most of people in his time than we have in our times. We can not pin our failure now to what Mwalimu did then, that to me is "scapegoating". We still have an opportunity to contribute our part to this equation, I don't think anybody here is ready to give up on JAMHURI.<BR/>Mchangiaji you say.... <BR/>I now challenge you to list the goods, that Nyerere have done and demonstrated over the time in our country, and this is the debate the whole nation ought to have, we CANNOT RUN AWAY FROM IT, that will be considered IMMORAL on my mind, we failed to do this, our future generation will do it for us to shape their own future.<BR/>1. Unity<BR/>2. Peaceful relations with our neighbours<BR/>3. Integrity<BR/>4. Fairness<BR/>5. Educational system better than the colonial system<BR/>6. Equality<BR/>those are a just a few good things that happen during his times. I'm not sure what was expected of a post-colonial leader but in my opinion he did a better job than his contemporary. Now if you wanna look at him in today's lense, you'll be doing injustice to all citizen of the United Republic of Tanzania. I may disagree with some of his policies, I may dislike him personally but I respect him for what he did is more than you and me my friend.<BR/><BR/>While as a leader all consequences are attributed to him, he's not a leader unless he has followers to support him. So let's consider our part.Che Solasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13837891973968823825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964830726550749649.post-25281589316926026012009-03-31T16:36:00.000+03:002009-03-31T16:36:00.000+03:00There is a new article coming soon, so please be a...There is a new article coming soon, so please be a bit patient.

However, during my college years i decided to research about Mwalimu, who was J.K Nyerere?. I collect every peace of information that i can put hand on from top libraries in the world to poor and local newspaper. At the end of the day i found that Mwalim was very interesting man.<BR/><BR/>Mchangiaji, we can analyze Mwalim economic policy through different secondary data. Which i will be more than happy to do so. As i mentioned before, Mwalimu ideas were good ideas, but the execution was poor. That is very common, in giant corporation we see everyday that smart ideas fail because of poor execution. <BR/><BR/>Mchangiaji, today if i give you a country with 12 Million people, wich 89% of them doesn't know how to read and write.The poverty is at the roof, the infrastructure is crippled, the electricity is only in few towns and the economy of that country is based on export lead growth economic system, and you don't know much about world market, tell me how are you going to trasform that Economy into more stable economy?<BR/><BR/>That is what Mwalim adopted Tanzania.Iddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17287706680889901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964830726550749649.post-12636947825410071542009-03-27T01:12:00.000+03:002009-03-27T01:12:00.000+03:00Salama and MkweliI am not trying to take sides on ...Salama and Mkweli<BR/><BR/>I am not trying to take sides on this issue, but for some reason I can certainly say that brains and beauty have always gone together. The simple truth is that exercising what’s inside will always enhance what’s going on outside. Your inside controls your outside. If you are not so blessed with the brains, no matter how handsome or dead gorgeous you re, a person is judged by their intellect. I have so many guys who are married to the most beautiful young ladies and vice versa and yet there is a burning desire to have an intellectual conversation with another woman/man. I believe being smart and intelligent is one surefire way to boost your hotness. If you happen to have both then you sure have won the jackpot. <BR/><BR/> We should encourage young women and men to show off their intellectual prowess. It is dangerous to let young people fall in the belief that being smart would reduce your coolness. Let us not fall in the trap that young African American are in. Many believe being smart is not cool and is acting white. Intellect is intoxicating and it is a great toxic material.misokasickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707436386625276314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964830726550749649.post-34611728683901748792009-03-26T22:12:00.000+03:002009-03-26T22:12:00.000+03:00Mkweli,If people or you're engaged with the so cal...Mkweli,<BR/><BR/>If people or you're engaged with the so called constructive acitivities, I talked about, then well and good!, good for them and good for the Nation, why are you complaining then? if you think it's a good idea and may be even participating in it? your point is incoherent in this. <BR/><BR/>Gosh!, I didn't accuse GT, I was just trying to make a point.

Those policy contributed to the agricultural crisis btn 1974-1975.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The government cut the prices of agricultural products, He didnot invest on agriculture sectors, which in turn, washamba become demorolised, by not producing huge quantity as a result, Wamjini become so sensitive to the washamba issues, which in turn create a such a discrimatory policy toward them, until today, would you believe?? Those policy are inherintly progressive.<BR/><BR/>You say, Quote<I><BR/>There are many factors which contributed the failure of Mwalim economic policies, the rise of fuel price during the 1970s, declined of commodity price, CCM members who immersed in personnel battle and get rich scheme and many others. </I> in addition to those factors is the war with Uganda in 1979, Oil crisis of 1973 and 1979, those still wont be a reason to blame for economic falure because, Tanzania received staggering US$2.7 billion in aid from 1971-81.<BR/><BR/>By MchangiajiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964830726550749649.post-42953829773925450582009-03-26T12:18:00.000+03:002009-03-26T12:18:00.000+03:00Mchangiaji, "tell me where is my 80MTshs spent on ...Mchangiaji,<BR/> "tell me where is my 80MTshs spent on "???<BR/>I total understand that the tax payer in Tanzania received almost nothing for their investment.Few people benefit from the tax that TRA collect. <BR/><BR/>If you read one of my comment, i said that I wish President Kikwete will move the budget office from wizara ya fedha to office ya raisi.

AG: “…as you look back on the twenty years of your stewardship, what are the major mistake that you would have wanted to avoid”.<BR/>Nyerere: “Fist of all let me say that when we started we were simply doing things on a day-to-day basis. There are certain things I would not do if I were to start again, one of them is the abolition of local government and the other is disbanding of the cooperatives. We were impatient and ignorant. We shouldn’t have done that because it was completely contrary to our own basic stand” <BR/><BR/>I total share the frustrations of those who develop their argument toward Mwalim Economic development policy; I agree that to some extent it was a failure. However, in 1960 majority of economist didn’t have a clue on how to develop the colonies into western economic standard. Likewise for Mwalim, he didn’t know much of economics; Tanzania was a center of selling finished good from colonial and extraction of raw material which were transported to Western countries (we still the same today). Wall Street Journey “Dr. Nyerere may have been poor economist but he was skillful nation builder. He fused Tanzanian’s 120 tribes into a cohesive state, preventing tribal conflicts plaguing so much of Africa” <BR/>So, when Mwalim took the county in 1961 he was surprised, he didn’t have a clue about balance of payment; he spent a lot of money to fight for Sub-Sahara countries independent and spent huge amount of money toward military. <BR/><BR/>Other critics argue about Mwalim idea behind nationalization of private sector. The idea behind was to reduce the gap between the haves and have not, and also to develop more jobs and transformed our economy into more diversity. However, I believe Mwalim did not take into consideration that Tanzania government didn’t have enough human capital to run that sector. <BR/><BR/>Other critics argued about villigilization, I believe the idea behind vijiji vya ujamaa was to put people so they can farm and market their produce collectively and benefit from the facilities which the government would produce. Mwalim archived that, people received free education, literacy rate rose to 81% and Tanzania per capita grew to $280 by the time he left the office. This what Mwalim said “I can not build roads, schools, dispensaries or providing running water or electricity to every collection of five or ten huts. Even if I had the money, it would take me from now to akhera”. <BR/><BR/>I total disagree that the failure of Tanzania Economic Development was because on socialism ideology, there are countries which didn’t accept socialism and they received a lot of aid but they didn’t develop to become even the second world. Zaire was the receipt capitalism aid, but at the end of the day Tanzania was better off than Zaire. <BR/><BR/>Despite the economic development controversial, Nyerere greatest quality is his unshakable honesty. Nyerere was a true leader; he put interest of Tanzanian people well above his own. He made a mistake, but who doesn’t and the intentions were only of the best. Mwalim didn’t allow power to use him, he hated corruption. This is what he told A. Verse in 1980s “When you’re prepared to give up the most precious you have, your life, rather than compromise, how can you then sell yourself so cheaply to ordinary traders? It worst form prostitution there is”. That was how that humbled man hated corruption; he even compared that behavior to a cheap hoe (sorry about my Spanish). Mwalim did not understand those few who are willing to sell the opportunity in Tanzania for the sake of benefit themselves, this is what he said concern taking rushwa “No one can insult you more than to offer you a bribe. Even if I have nothing but rugs to wear, you can not buy me. You can force me into slavery, but you cannot buy me. There is not enough money in the whole world worth more to me than my self or for that matter, worth more than any single one of the citizens of my country. Do you think then I will willingly sell my self or my country for a few trinkets?”<BR/><BR/>There are many factors which contributed the failure of Mwalim economic policies, the rise of fuel price during the 1970s, declined of commodity price, CCM members who immersed in personnel battle and get rich scheme and many others. <BR/><BR/>Nyerere was such a great man, he died when Tanzania need him most. He will always be one of the men who I wish to meet. Peter Bauer called him Saint. Julius. Here was a man, whence come another.Iddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17287706680889901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964830726550749649.post-63127637268918202082009-03-26T11:49:00.000+03:002009-03-26T11:49:00.000+03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Iddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17287706680889901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964830726550749649.post-84799537215736378752009-03-26T10:11:00.000+03:002009-03-26T10:11:00.000+03:00Inno,Hiyo shule, sounds like Oprah academy?

However, his contributions toward Tanzania outperformed his failure.</I> Unquote<BR/><BR/>and I tend to agree with GT, on this one, all this mess we are getting from our so called leaders and US in general of beeing ineffective intellictually, unreasoning, unchallenging, blindness following, is direct result of Nyerere Policy toward everything. <BR/><BR/>I now challenge you to list the goods, that Nyerere have done and demonstrated over the time in our country, and this is the debate the whole nation ought to have, we CANNOT RUN AWAY FROM IT, that will be considered IMMORAL on my mind, we failed to do this, our future generation will do it for us to shape their own future.<BR/><BR/>@ Any (who brought article on Chinese challenging the Dollar as world currency)<BR/><BR/>Let me tell you something, I tend to believe J K Nyerere misunderstood the CHINESE on SOCIALISM, He copied their Kaunda Suit, but failed to immulate their hard working mentality towards development and Progess!<BR/><BR/>Here is my evident, When Chinese built the UHURU railway (TAZARA), what they really meant, this is a gesture of our friendship to you, as a STIMULUS package for business and industrial revolution, but they didn't say to him, DONT transport cosmetics and Luxurious cars to Zambia, they simply say OPEN UP FOR BUSINESS, and you know what Marehemu did, close all the borders instead, DONT DO BUSINESS, thats for ELITES.<BR/><BR/>Thats why it doesn't surprise me CHINESE are closing eyes on so called dictators Bashir and Mugabe, and DOING BUSINESS AS USUAL, for their CHINESE PROGRESS, but they didn't say to them ACCEPT UJAMAA, so we can trade with you, and this is where Marehemu misunderstood the CHINESE.<BR/><BR/>By MchangiajiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964830726550749649.post-75849953183030390452009-03-25T09:56:00.000+03:002009-03-25T09:56:00.000+03:00Miso,Absolutely!, and thank you too!, for being th...Miso,<BR/>Absolutely!, and thank you too!, for being that great and wonderful, am pretty sure we have a lot to share.

How about meeting in the middle? Mbeleni kuna mpango wa kuanzishwa quasi-public college/university preparatory school ambayo funding structure yake itakuwa ya private-public partnership na italenga ku-recruit the best and brightest students in East African region regardless of their economic status. Shule zinazo-claim kwamba zinafanya hivo kwa sasa ni wasanii tu, it's business as usual. <BR/><BR/>Lengo hasa la hii shule itakuwa ni kuzipa pengo la "missing link" between primary school and tertiary education. Such school will stick to its founding principles and purposes. How? Well, that's why it will take to build such a school to demonstrate how. <BR/><BR/>Hivi shule kama hiyo wana-blog mnaionaje?<BR/><BR/>Oh, coffee get-together ya Miso na Salama inapangwa kufanyikia Boston ama Dar?

KULEANA used to be a strong power house back then, i feel sad to received that news. Never the less my intention was to elaborate that you can't craft policy from top bottom, but you need to craft it with the assistance from the people who are familiar with the matter. If you want to create a policy deal with how to fund orphanage then you will need to collect ideas from NGO's which deals with orphanage.Iddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17287706680889901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964830726550749649.post-3690374715312214402009-03-25T06:00:00.000+03:002009-03-25T06:00:00.000+03:00Salama, Could you kindly meet up for coffee, so th...Salama, <BR/>Could you kindly meet up for coffee, so that we can have a one on one girl’s conversation? I think we have so much to share my dear. This is my email kitimotoanyimali@gmail.com. Thanks for being such an amazing and confident women. <BR/><BR/>Che Solasi<BR/>Congratulations for having a new family member. Seeing your wife delivering is a whole other ball game. I bet you have gained an extremely amount of respect for your dear wife. I have not been in labor yet, but I know I would demand my husband’s presence. I think it just gives you a whole different view of what a woman really has to go through. I always tell my brothers’ women know men more than men know women. You mother is the first person who welcomes you into this universe. <BR/>"If we're being lead with someone with a VISION of where they're going and they know how to get there that's a good start. But when the leadership is blinded by selfish ambition and total lack of commitment to the common goals and aspirations as a whole nation.... there will be no progress". <BR/>You are a one positive fella. We have so many visionaries and very few missionaries. Visionaries carry the idea, while missionaries carry the work. We are left with visionaries who just propose on what the possibilities are but are not enthusiastic or lack the will do make it happen/ Hawa ndiyo nawaita kina Chenge, Lowasa, and many of our leaders<BR/>Kaka yangu you have gained and accumulated enough knowledge to be able to say all this that you are saying. At least you have been freed from the unfreedom’s that the majority of the Tanzanians are facing. You have the education that allows you to understand what it means to have adequate health facilities. Kama you lack adequate health facilities your capability to act effectively in decision making is quite impossible. Education leads to adequate health facilities and empowerment. <BR/>“we still have an opportunity to shape the future”. <BR/>The future can only be shaped by us who have this opportunity. We are the catalyst of this change. Our goal should be how this change could trickle down to rural communities. Lets act on behalf of the marginalized and play our role. <BR/>Kaka Iddy,<BR/>I worked with Kuleana and I was so excited to work with such an organization, but kuleana fits to the current name of many corrupt leaders “Mafisadi”. Mutaboyerwa killed Kuleana. This is like many other organizations that just enjoy feeding their bi g matumbos with donor’s money. Once Rakesh decided to pack his bags and start a new venture, kuleana was doomed to die. Kuleana had some amazing programs, but selfish behaviors killed kuleana. This is the kind of attitude I find so despicable.misokasickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707436386625276314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964830726550749649.post-16037785203879266002009-03-25T04:00:00.000+03:002009-03-25T04:00:00.000+03:00Misokasick, Salama, Che Solasi and GT your persuas...Misokasick, Salama, Che Solasi and GT your persuasion are so eloquent.<BR/><BR/>Misokasick<BR/>You touched a center core of our problem. The accountability and feedback. It is a culture in Tanzania that people can do anything and get away from it. If we will continue toward this path, then we will always fail to archive anything. Unless we saw the urgent and decides to change that kind culture. If a secretary of education decided to cut the fund toward sports in primary and secondary school, then he/she should be accountable to provide the substitutes of sports or scientific facts on what reasons make him/her decided that.<BR/><BR/>I am advocate of freedom of choice, i total support those who like public school likewise those who believe on private school. What i don't support is few elites enjoying to send their kids to private school kwa jasho la wakulima na wafanyakazi. I strong oppose that kind of system.<BR/><BR/>Che Solasi<BR/>HONGERA MZEE, i guess the beauty of life is to build a family with love and compassion.<BR/><BR/>I think the reason why we failed most of the time when we tried to eradicate diseases, poverty, etc is because we architect all these BIG PLANS which most of the time doesn't work. And we're not bothered to find why the last one didn't work, instead we architect the next BIG PLAN. MGD, MKUKUTA and many other.<BR/><BR/>Is anyone knows how many people in need received VYANDARUA ambavyo BUSH alitoa last time alipokuwa Tanzania? I bet some of those nets end up in a black market, and some crook benefit out of it. Unless we decide to be accountable of our action then we will be able to build a strong community.<BR/><BR/>I think the movement toward Tanzania without poverty need to start from bottom up and not otherwise. KULEANA knows a lot about orphanage kids, so if we will seek advice from them when we architect the policy about orphanage, then we will be able to build something which fit poor needs. Other than that we are going to build something which fits top needs and not bottom needs.<BR/><BR/>Maendeleo yanaitaji mchakato kutoka kila pembe ya Tanzania na si vingenevyo.<BR/><BR/>USHAURI WANGU MKUBWA KWA JK KUHAMISHIA OFFICE YA BAJETI KUTOKA KWA WAZIRI FEDHA KWNDA OFFICE YA RAISI. The reason behind is the budget has influence toward every body life. I believe president will be able to oversea the allocation of fund toward different sector with less political motivations, and more scientific facts. Apart from that budget is the head of any society, it's not kitu cha kufanyia mzaha.<BR/><BR/>GT<BR/>Mwalim had some failures, so does other leaders. However, his contributions toward Tanzania outperformed his failure.Iddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17287706680889901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964830726550749649.post-80344384696309830592009-03-25T03:55:00.000+03:002009-03-25T03:55:00.000+03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Iddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17287706680889901040noreply@blogger.com
