For it is life, the very life of life. <br />
<br />
In its brief course <br />
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence: <br />
<br />
The bliss of growth <br />
The glory of action <br />
<br />
The splendour of achievement. <br />
<br />
For yesterday is but a dream <br />
And tomorrow is only a vision,<br />
But today well lived makes yesterday a dream of happiness<br />
And every tomorrow a vision of hope. <br />
<br />
Look well, therefore, to this day!<br />
Such is the salutation to the dawn.<br />

<i>Na January Makamba </i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Katika kampeni za Uchaguzi Mkuu wa mwaka 2005, ambazo
nilishiriki kama Msaidizi wa Mgombea Urais kwa tiketi ya CCM, Ndugu Jakaya
Kikwete, hoja ya uzalendo na urithi wa Mwalimu Nyerere kwa taifa letu ilichukua
nafasi kubwa. Mgombea Urais kwa tiketi ya Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo
(Chadema) kwenye uchaguzi ule, Ndugu Freeman Mbowe, katika mikutano yake <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ya kampeni, alimtaja sana Mwalimu Nyerere,
alitumia sana bendera ya taifa na <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>alikuwa akiwaimbisha wananchi wimbo wa taifa.
Hata hivyo, katika kuimbisha wananchi wimbo wa taifa, aliwaeleza kwamba wimbo
huo umekosewa kwenye mpangilio wa beti: kwamba ubeti wa pili ulipaswa kuwa ndio
ubeti wa kwanza. Kama mnavyofahamu, kwenye mstari wa kwanza kabisa wa wimbo
wetu wa taifa, tunamuomba Mungu aibariki Afrika. Ubeti mzima wa kwanza wa wimbo
wetu wa taifa unahusu Afrika. Tanzania tunaikumbuka kwenye ubeti wa pili.
Afrika imetajwa mara tano kwenye wimbo wetu. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hoja ya Ndugu Mbowe ilikuwa ni kwamba lazima tuwe wazalendo
kwa kuiweka Tanzania mbele. Kwahiyo, lazima ubeti wa pili unaoanza na “Mungu
Ibariki Tanzania” uwe ndio ubeti wa kwanza. Watu wengi, hasa vijana, wakawa
wanaona mantiki katika hoja yake. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hata hivyo, baadhi yetu katika timu ya kampeni ya CCM
tukaona kwamba Ndugu Mbowe amekosa uelewa wa msingi muhimu wa kutafuta uhuru wetu
na kujenga taifa letu. Tukaamua kumjibu tukieleza kwamba haelewi historia ya
Tanzania wala urithi wake. Tukatoa sababu. Na mjadala wa mpangilio wa beti za
wimbo wetu wa taifa ukafa. Hata hivyo, wakati tunaadhimisha miaka 54 ya
Muungano wetu, ambao ni utambulisho wa nchi yetu, kielelezo cha utaifa wetu, na
kilele cha umoja wetu, ni muhimu kukumbushana kidogo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wimbo wa taifa hutungwa kwa umakini na hupitishwa baada ya
tafakari kubwa na muafaka mpana. Wimbo wa taifa hubeba utambulisho, utashi na
ndoto za taifa husika. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wimbo wetu wa taifa umeitanguliza Afrika kabla ya Tanzania
na umeutaja umoja kama moja ya ngao zetu kuu. Hili halikutokea kwa ajali.
Wakati wa harakati za kutafuta uhuru wetu, moja ya shabaha yetu ilikuwa ni
kupata uwezo wa kuharakisha maendeleo yetu lakini pia kutimiza azma yetu ya
kuungana kama Waafrika. Kuanzia miaka ya 1930, kulikuwa na mwamko mkubwa wa Umajumui
wa Afrika ambao ulijidhihirisha pia kupitia ushirikiano kwenye harakati za
kutafuta ukombozi wa bara la Afrika. Kama Tanganyika, tulikuwa tayari
kuchelewesha uhuru wetu ili tuupate siku moja na majirani zetu na siku hiyo
hiyo tutangaze Jamhuri moja. Hata tulipopata uhuru wetu, tulitangaza kwamba
uhuru huo haujakamilika hadi pale Afrika nzima itakapokuwa huru. Na tukaimba
kwamba tunataka kuwasha mwenge na kuuweka juu ya Mlima Kilimanjaro ili pia
ukamulike na kutoa matumaini hadi nje ya mipaka yetu. Na tukaikwangua hazina
yetu, na kumwaga damu ya vijana wetu, kwa ajili ya ukombozi wa Afrika. Heshima
ya nchi yetu ikapaa. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kwahiyo, umoja wa Afrika na baina ya Waafrika, ni sehemu ya
urithi wetu kama taifa na ni ngao yetu, kama tunavyoimba kwenye wimbo wetu wa
taifa. Kwahiyo, msingi wa kwanza wa Muungano wetu ni huu. Dhamira ya Waafrika
kujumuisha nguvu zao ili kujilinda kwa uhakika zaidi na kupata maendeleo na
ustawi wao kwa kasi zaidi. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Muungano wetu ni kielelezo pekee kilicho hai kinachoonyesha
ujasiri na uthubutu wa Watanzania kutimiza kwa vitendo dhamira ambayo Afrika
nzima imekuwa inailezea kwa maneno. Katika mambo yanayopaswa kutupa fahari na
kutufanya Watanzania tutembee kifua mbele ni Muungano wetu. Ndio maana wimbo
wetu upo na umebaki kama ulivyo kwasababu umoja ni urithi na ngao yetu, na
umoja wetu umedhihirishwa na kuthibitishwa na Muungano wetu. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nitaongelea wimbo wa pili. Unaitwa “Tazama ramani”. Ni kweli
ukitazama ramani utaona nchi nzuri inayoitwa Tanzania. Lakini uzuri wa nchi
yetu sio tu wa milima, mito na mabonde kama tunavyoimba. Bali pia ni wa mipaka
yake. Sote tunajua kwamba mipaka ya nchi za Afrika haikutengenezwa na Waafrika
wenyewe. Wakoloni walikaa kikao huko Berlin, Ujerumani kuanzia mwezi Novemba
1884 hadi Februari 1885 ili kumegeana vipande vya ardhi ya Afrika na kuchora
mipaka kwenye vipande hivyo. Hivyo vipande leo ndio vinaitwa nchi huru za
Afrika. Kama Mtanzania, faraja unayoipata, au unayopaswa kuipata, ukitazama
ramani, ni kwamba, kwa Tanganyika na Zanzibar kuungana, mipaka ya Tanzania
tumeitengeneza wenyewe. Ni jeuri kubwa tumefanya. Tumenajisi yatokanayo na
mkutano dhalimu wa Berlin. Moja ya sababu kubwa ya Tanzania kuheshimika duniani
ni jeuri hii kubwa. Na moja ya njia za haraka na za uhakika za kujivua nguo na
kujiondolea heshima yetu ni kuufanya Muungano uzorote, ulegee na uvunjike. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hata hivyo, nikiri kwamba Muungano wa Tanganyika na Zanzibar
haukuwa mgumu kutokea kwasababu ya maingiliano ya kibiashara na kijamii ya
karne kadhaa baina ya watu wa pande hizi mbili. Hata kabla ya watawala wa
kigeni kuingia katika maeneo yetu, tayari kulikuwa na muungano, tena wa damu
kabisa, wa watu wa pande zetu mbili. Kwa kifupi, Muungano wetu tunaodhimisha
miaka 54 ya kuundwa kwake, ulirasimisha tu udugu uliokuwepo. Kwahiyo, msingi
mwingine mkuu wa Muungano wetu ni udugu na ujamaa wa karne nyingi baina ya watu
wa pande mbili. Huu ni msingi imara, inawezekana hata zaidi ya mifumo na miundo
ya kitaasisi iliyowezesha Muungano wetu kudumu kwa miaka 54 sasa. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Je, Muungano wetu unaweza kuwa imara zaidi? Bila shaka. Ndio
maana kila uchao jitihada zinafanywa na Serikali za pande zote mbili
kurekebisha mambo yatakayosaidia kuuimarisha zaidi. Bahati mbaya mjadala kuhusu
Muungano mara nyingi umekuwa kwenye yale mambo yanayoitwa “Kero za Muungano”,
ambayo jina sahihi ni Changamoto za Masuala ya Muungano. Kwa upande mmoja hili
ni jambo jema kwasababu linaonyesha hamu na dhamira ya kukabiliana na masuala
yanayoweza kudhoofisha Muungano wetu. Kwa upande mwingine, msisitizo kwenye
kero unaondoa uwezo wa kuona fursa za ustawi zilizopo katika Muungano na unaondoa
uwezo wetu wa kujivunia mambo mengi mazuri na mafanikio makubwa yaliyotokana na
uwepo wa Muungano wetu. Kuimarisha Muungano ni sehemu ya ujenzi wa taifa letu.
Ujenzi wa taifa haukumalizwa siku Muungano umeundwa. Kimsingi siku hiyo ilikuwa
ni siku ya kusimika msingi. Kazi ya ujenzi wa taifa letu ni endelevu. Na
kuondoa changamoto za Muungano ni sehemu ya kazi adhimu kabisa ya ujenzi wa
taifa letu. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Muungano wetu umeleta ustawi mkubwa wa watu wa pande mbili.
Tanzania ya leo sio ya mwaka 1964. Usalama wa nchi yetu umeimarika. Fursa
zimefunguka. Kwa mfano, wapo watu wengi kutoka Tanzania Bara walioajiriwa
kwenye mahoteli mengi ya kitalii Zanzibar. Pia, Wazanzibari wanaoishi na
kufanya kazi au biashara Tanzania Bara ni wengi kuliko Wazanzibari wote wanaoishi
kwenye kisiwa cha Pemba. Hili ni jambo jema. Na mwenendo na takwimu za
kidemografia zinaonyesha kwamba katika miongo miwili au mitatu, Wazanzibari
wengi zaidi watakuwa wanaishi Tanzania Bara kuliko walioko Zanzibar. Hili pia ni
jambo jema kwasababu moja ya <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>shabaha za
Muungano ni uwezo wa watu wa pande zote mbili kuishi na kushamiri kwenye upande
wowote wa Muungano.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Naamini kabisa
kwamba Muungano wetu unayo nafasi kubwa zaidi ya kuleta ustawi mpana zaidi wa
watu wa pande zote mbili. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Naamini kabisa yapo mambo ya kurekebisha ili kuongeza
uwezekano huo. Katika mambo Serikali ya Awamu ya Tano tunayoendelea
kuyashughulikia ni pamoja na uwezo wa magari yaliyosajiliwa Zanzibar kutembea
Bara, na magari yaliyosajiliwa Bara kutembea Zanzibar, bila bughudha. Siamini
kabisa kwamba ni sahihi kwamba mtu mwenye gari lenye namba za nchi ya jirani
atembee nalo bila bughudha lakini gari lenye namba za Zanzibar likionekana Bara
likamatwe na kushindwa kutembea. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pia
tunajua na tunafuatilia masuala ya kuhuisha mifumo ya ukadiriaji kodi na
utendaji wa baadhi ya watumishi kwenye bandari zetu ili kuondosha kabisa
usumbufu wanaopata wananchi wa kawaida wanaposafiri na kusafirisha mizigo yao
kati ya pande hizi mbili. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Naamini kwamba moja ya mantiki ya kuwa ni Muungano ni kwamba
ni lazima iwe rahisi, haraka na nafuu kufanya biashara, kupata masoko na
kusafirisha bidhaa kati ya pande mbili za Muungano. Kwa uhalisia, maendeleo ya
viwanda na uchumi ya Zanzibar yatafikiwa iwapo Zanzibar itakuwa na uwezo wa
kulifikia soko la Bara kwa bidhaa haswa zinazozalishwa Zanzibar. Tunafanyia
kazi kwa bidii kubwa masuala yanayoonekana kama ni vikwazo vya biashara kati ya
pande mbili za Muungano. Binafsi nimewafuata na kuzungumza mara kadhaa na
wafanyabiashara wa Zanzibar chini ya umoja wao na taasisi zao. Nimemfuata na kukaa
vikao virefu na Waziri wa Biashara wa Zanzibar kuzungumzia masuala ya biashara.
Nimemfuata na kukaa na Waziri wa Fedha wa Zanzibar. Waziri wa Biashara wa
Serikali ya Muungano amekaa na Waziri wa Biashara wa Zanzibar na wataalam wao.
Mheshimiwa Makamu wa Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania ameitisha na
kuongoza vikao vya kisekta vya sekta za Biashara, Fedha na Uchukuzi wa pande
zote mbili. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tunaamini kabisa kwamba masuala ya muda mrefu, yakiwemo
utekelezaji wa Mapendekezo ya Tume ya Pamoja ya Fedha, ambayo yatatatua
changamoto nyingi za masuala ya kifedha, yanastahili kupatiwa ufumbuzi na
bahati nzuri hatua nzuri imefikiwa kwenye masuala hayo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ni muhimu kutambua kwamba hakuna kero au changamoto yoyote
ya Muungano inayoweza kuondosha uhalali wala umuhimu wa Muungano. Na ni muhimu
kutambua haitakuja kutokea siku kwamba hatuna la kufanya katika kuboresha na
kuimarisha Muungano wetu. Kazi ya kujenga nchi na kuimarisha Muungano wetu ni
ya kudumu. Faraja tunayopata ni kwamba, kwa sasa, kwa watu wa itikadi
mbalimbali za kisiasa, na kwa watu wa pande mbili za Muungano, mjadala na hoja
sio tena uhalali wa Muungano bali mjadala upo kwenye namna bora zaidi ya
kuuimarisha. Wapo wachache ambao watabaki kujadili jinsi ulivyoafikiwa. Katika
mambo makubwa ya kihistoria duniani, watu wa kuhoji yalivyotokea na kama kweli
yalitokea hawawezi kukosekana. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Muungano wetu utaimarishwa kama tutauongelea tukiwa na
vichwa na nyoyo tulivu huku tukitambua kwamba ni urithi adhimu kabisa.
Kunyoosheana vidole au kuitana majina au kushambuliana hakuna msaada wala
manufaa. Nasikitishwa na baadhi ya kauli za kushambuliana, wakati mwingine
zinazotolewa Bungeni kuhusu upande mmoja au mwingine wa Muungano. Hakuna sababu
ya kudharauliana na kupuuzana. Kila upande wa Muungano na umuhimu wake. Falsafa
yangu mimi niliyeaminiwa katika dawati hili la Muungano, ni kusikiliza kila mtu
bila kumhukumu wala kumshambulia wala kuhoji uzalendo wake na mapenzi yake kwa
Muungano wetu na nchi yetu. Ninaamini, ukiondoa watu wachache sana, kila
anayesimama kuongelea Muungano anataka uwe bora zaidi na imara zaidi. Wajibu
wetu ni kusikiliza. Aliyeshika dawati hili kabla yangu, ambaye sasa ni Makamu
wa Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Rais, amenifunda vizuri kuhusu namna ya
kushughulikia masuala haya. Napata pia miongozo na maelekezo murua na fasaha
kutoka kwa viongozi wakuu akiwemo Rais wetu wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania,
Mheshimiwa Dkt. John Pombe Magufuli, Raisi wa Zanzibar Mheshimiwa Ali Mohammed
Shein; na Waziri Mkuu Mheshimiwa Kassim Majaliwa Majaliwa; Makamu wa Pili wa
Rais wa Zanzibar, Balozi Seif Ali Idi. Nafanya kazi vizuri na Mawaziri wenzangu
wa Zanzibar, hasa Waziri Mohammed Aboud Mohammed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nafarijika kwamba michango mingi ya Wajumbe
kwenye Baraza la Wawakilishi Zanzibar mingi ni ya kujenga na kuimarisha
Muungano. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kuna siku sitakuwa na kazi hii ninayoifanya sasa. Kuna siku
watu wote tuliopo tutaondoka hapa duniani. Wajibu wetu ni kuwaachia watoto wetu
na wajukuu wa wajukuu zao Muungano ukiwa imara zaidi kuliko ulivyo sasa. Nchi
hii hatukuirithi kutoka kwa waliotangulia, bali tumeiazima kutoka kwa wanaokuja
baada yetu. Ukiazima kitu kanuni ni kukirejesha kikiwa salama. Muhimu
tukairejesha nchi yetu na Muungano wetu kwa wanaokuja ukiwa salama.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">ya hapo, Chama chetu kitapata mgombea mmoja tu atakayepeperusha</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">tuliionyesha nia ya kuomba nafasi hii kuelewa kuwa umoja wetu ndio</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">ushindi wetu. Kama nilivyokwishasema, nina imani kubwa na uongozi wa</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Chama chetu, nina imani kubwa na vikao na kanuni zitakazotumika</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">kuchuja wagombea. Nina imani haki itatendeka na tutamaliza mchakato</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">huu tukiwa wamoja. Nina imani kwamba vikao vitafanya maamuzi kwa</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">msingi wa kujiamini na sio kwa msingi wa shaka ya kusambaratika. CCM</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">ni taasisi kubwa. Kama Chama, katika historia yetu, tumepita kwenye</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">michakato mingi migumu kuliko hata huu, tumefanya maamuzi mengi</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">makubwa na bado tumeendelea kubaki wamoja na imara. Nina imani kwamba</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">katika hili pia tutavuka salama.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">11. Nawapongeza wanachama wenzangu walioonyesha ujasiri na kiu ya</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">kutaka kuliongoza taifa letu. Nafarijika kwamba ndani ya CCM kuna</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">hazina kubwa ya viongozi. Sina kinyongo na nawaheshimu baadhi ya</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">viongozi waliokwishaamua kuwaunga mkono wagombea wengine. Nina imani</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">kwamba kadri mchakato huu utakavyoendelea kwenye vikao vya Chama,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">nitapata heshima ya wao kuja kuniunga mkono. Niko tayari kufanya kazi</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">na wagombea waliojitokeza na wale waliowaunga mkono, kazi ya kuendelea</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">kukijenga na kukiimarisha Chama chetu na kutatua changamoto za</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Kama ilivyo ada, tunaanza kwa
kumshukuru Mwenyezi Mungu kwa baraka zake na kibali chake cha kutukunanisha
siku hii ya leo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Nawashukuru wote mliofika
hapa na nyote mnaonisikiliza kupitia luninga na redio. Nawashukuru pia wana-CCM
na Watanzania waliokusanyika katika mikoa mbalimbali ambao wataunganishwa nasi
moja moja wakati wa kipindi cha maswali na majibu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Nimeonelea nitumie siku na
fursa hii kuwajulisha kwamba, baada ya tafakuri ya kina ya changamoto za sasa
nchi yetu na mahitaji ya uongozi wa aina mpya, nimeamua kuomba nafasi ya Rais
wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Kwa ajili hiyo, keshokutwa,
nitasafiri kwenda Dodoma kuchukua fomu ya kuomba ridhaa ya wana-CCM ili niweze
kuteuliwa na Chama chetu kuwa mgombea kwa nafasi ya Urais katika Uchaguzi Mkuu
wa mwaka huu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Nafanya hivyo nikitambua ukubwa
na utakatifu wa dhamana ninayoiomba. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Naiomba nafasi hii nikiwa
nimejiridhisha bila shaka yoyote kwamba ninao uwezo, ukomavu, uzalendo,
uadilifu, uzoefu, hekima, busara, maarifa na ubunifu wa kuishika nafasi ya Rais
wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Naiomba nafasi hii nikielewa
kiu ya Watanzania ya kupata uongozi mpya, wa zama za sasa, unaotoa matumiani
mapya, yatakayozaa Tanzania mpya. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Naiomba nafasi hii nikiwa
naelewa misingi iliyoijenga nchi yetu – misingi ya haki, umoja, amani,
mshikamano na upendo miongoni mwa Watanzania – na haja ya kuilinda misingi hiyo.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Nchi yetu iko katika njia
panda. Katika miaka 10 ijayo, Tanzania inaweza kuchukua njia mojawapo kati ya
hizi mbili: inaweza kupiga hatua kubwa ya maendeleo na hali ya maisha ya
wananchi wote kuboreka. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Lakini vilevile, ipo hatari
ya taifa letu kupasuka kutokana na dalili za mpasuko wa kidini, mmomonyoko wa
maadili kwenye jamii, kuporomoka kwa imani ya wananchi kwa dola, dalili za ufa
katika Muungano, umaskini na tofauti kubwa ya kipato baina ya wananchi. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Aina ya uongozi tutakaouchagua mwaka huu ndio
utaamua mustakabali wa nchi yetu. Baada ya miaka 50 ya uongozi wa kizazi
kilichopita, sasa ni wakati wa nchi yetu kuongozwa na viongozi wa aina mpya,
wenye mtazamo mpya, fikra mpya, maarifa mapya na majawabu mapya. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Ndugu zangu, Watanzania wenzangu, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Nimesimama hapa kuwahakikishia kwamba nimefanya tafakuri ya kina na za
muda mrefu kuhusu mwelekeo wa nchi yetu. Na niko tayari kutengeneza na kuongoza
timu madhubuti ya Watanzania wazalendo na waadilifu watakaounda Serikali itakayojenga
kesho njema. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Nimesimama hapa kuwakaribisha wana-CCM
wenzangu na Watanzania wote kwenye kampeni hii. Tunayo dhamira na uwezo wa
kushinda na kuongoza mabadiliko makubwa ambayo Watanzania wanayatarajia.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Kwa mambo niliyoyaona na
kujifunza kuanzia kufanya kazi na Rais Kikwete Ikulu, kwenye uongozi wa Chama,
Bungeni na Serikalini, nimepata matayarisho ya kutosha ya kuiongoza nchi yetu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Naiomba nafasi hii nikiwa
naijua vyema sana nchi yetu, nikiwa nayajua kwa kina matatizo ya Watanzania
katika kila kona ya nchi yetu, na nikiwa nimejiridhisha kwamba ninao ubunifu na
maarifa ya kutosha ya kutafuta majawabu mapya kwa ajili ya kuinua hali za
maisha za Watanzania. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Siko mbele yenu kuwasimulia
kuhusu matatizo ya nchi yetu ambayo sote tunayajua. Niko mbele yenu kuelezea
namna tukavyotatua matatizo ya nchi yetu. Katika kuomba nafasi hii nimefikiria
na nitaelezea baadhi ya majawabu mapya ambayo yananitofuatisha mimi na wengine
wanaoomba nafasi hii. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Natambua kwamba nikiteuliwa
na Chama changu, nitakabidhiwa Ilani ya Uchaguzi itakayoelekeza mambo ya
kufanywa na Serikali ijayo. Nitainadi Ilani hiyo na kuitekeleza kwa nguvu zangu
zote. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Hata hivyo, kama wasemavyo
waswahili, ziada njema haigombi. Kuwepo kwa Ilani hakuzuii kuwa na mambo ya
ziada ya msingi kwa ajili ya maendeleo ya taifa letu. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Kwa msingi huo, nianze kwa
kusema kwamba Serikali nitakayounda itaendeshwa na falsafa ya uwezeshaji mpana
wa wananchi – kiuchumi, kisiasa na kijamii.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Kwa miaka mingi sasa,
Watanzania wamepewa ahadi nyingi na viongozi wa siasa. Badala ya kuwaahidi wananchi
kwamba tutawafanyia kila kitu, Serikali nitakayoiunda itawajengea uwezo na
nguvu ya maamuzi kuhusu maisha yao. Serikali yangu itajikita katika kuwajengea
nguvu ya kiuchumi ya kuendesha maisha yao, na kuamua waishi wapi, wapeleke
watoto shule wapi, waanzishe biashara gani, wajenge nyumba za aina gani, wakatibiwe
wapi. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Tutawajengea uwezo wa kuwa na
sauti katika maamuzi ya Serikali yao. Tutaondokana na dhana ya wananchi kubaki
watazamaji tu katika masuala ya nchi yao. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Sitaunda Serikali ya waporaji
na wabinafsi. Nitaunda Serikali yenye utu na inayowasikiliza na kuwajali watu. Serikali
inayotimiza wajibu wake bila chembe ya uzembe wala ulegevu. Nitaunda Serikali
yenye Mawaziri wasiozidi 18 ambayo haitakuwa na mtu hata mmoja anayetiliwa
shaka kuhusu uwezo na uadilifu wake. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Serikali yetu itakuwa na
vipaumbele vikubwa vitano:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Kwanza ni kukuza kipato cha
watu. Msingi wa maendeleo ya nchi yetu sio mapato ya Serikali, bali ukubwa na
uhakika wa kipato cha Watanzania. Kama nilivyosema awali, nitataka Watanzania
tuwe na nguvu na uwezo wa kiuchumi wa kuendesha maisha yetu. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Kwahiyo, kwa wale wenye
shughuli za kufanya – iwe ni kilimo, uvuvi, ufugaji au biashara – tutaweka
mazingira ya kisera, kisheria na kikodi ili shughuli hizo zipanuke, zishamiri,
ziwe na faida kwao na ziwanufaishe katika maisha yao. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Falsafa yetu ni kwamba mtu
yoyote anayetoa jasho kutengeneza maisha yake na ya familia yake, ni lazima
anufaike na juhudi na jasho lake. Kwa wale wasio na shughuli za kipato,
tutafanya jitihada zote ili wawe na shughuli za kiuchumi za kufanya. Tutatengeneza
fursa za kiuchumi ili mtu yoyote kama hana shughuli ya kufanya basi awe ameamua
mwenyewe. Maendeleo ya nchi yatapatikana kwa nguvu ya uchumi ya wananchi, sio
kwa hisani ya wafadhili. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Kipaumbele cha pili kitakuwa
ni kupatikana kwa huduma bora za jamii na kiuchumi. Kazi kubwa imefanywa na
viongozi waliotangulia, lakini bado Watanzania wengi wanahitaji kupata huduma
ya uhakika ya maji, afya, elimu bora, barabara za uhakika, umeme, huduma za
fedha na mawasiliano. Tutabuni mbinu
mpya za kumaliza matatizo haya. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Kipaumbele cha tatu ni
utawala bora, wa haki na wa sheria. Msingi wa amani ya nchi yetu ni haki.
Wananchi wengi hawana uhakika wa kupata haki zao waendapo polisi au mahakamani.
Serikali yangu italibadilisha hili. Tutazijenga upya taasisi ya usimamizi wa
utawala na haki za watu, zikiwemo mahakama na jeshi la polisi. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Hatutakubali Mtanzania yoyote
aonewe na watu au mamlaka za umma. Lakini pia tutataka kila mtu afuate sheria
za nchi, hata ziwe ndogo kiasi gani. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Tutakabiliana na tatizo la
ubadhirifu wa mali ya umma kwa nguvu zote. Nampongeza Rais Kikwete kwa kufanya
jambo la kimapinduzi la kuelekeza Ripoti za Mdhibiti na Mkaguzi Mkuu wa Hesabu
za Serikali (CAG) ziwekwe hadharani na kujadiliwa. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Serikali yangu itaenda mbele zaidi
na kuhakikisha kwamba ripoti ya CAG ikitolewa, viongozi ambao taasisi zao
zimekutwa na makosa wanakaa pembeni siku hiyo hiyo na hatua za kisheria, za kipolisi,
za kimahakama zinaanza siku inayofuatia. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Kipaumbele cha nne ni
usimamizi wa uchumi. Serikali yangu taimarisha uwezo wa taasisi za usimamizi wa
uchumi – ikiwemo Wizara ya Fedha, Tume ya Mipango, Benki Kuu na Mamlaka ya

Mfuko Maalum, yaani National Education Endowment Fund, kwa ajili ya kugharamia
elimu ya juu kwa wenye mahitaji maalum. Serikali pia itaweka dhamana ya mikopo
wanafunzi katika taasisi binafsi zitakazokuwa tayari kukopesha wanafunzi. Zaidi

rushwa. Limezungumzwa na wengi. Lakini kulizungumzia

Kwanza, ni kuiwezesha TAKUKURU kuwa

mahakamani. Pia, tuanzishe Mahakama Maalum ya Uhujumu Uchumi ambayo itahusika
na makosa ya rushwa; ubadhirifu wa mali ya umma; ukwepaji kodi; kuiba,

jamii inakuita mjinga unapostaafu ukiwa hujilimbikizia mali, hapo lipo tatizo
ndani ya jamii. Lazima kujenga jamii tofauti, ambayo wala rushwa wanajiona kama
wanatembea uchi, jamii ambayo inatoa adhabu za kijamii, yaani social sanctions,
ikiwemo kutengwa, ambazo ni kali kuliko adhabu za kisheria. Mwalimu Nyerere
alijaribu kujenga jamii ya aina hii: jamii ambayo kiongozi wa umma hapaswi

ya aina hii. Viongozi wa dini wana nafasi kubwa. Maadili na malezi na makuzi

kujali uwezo wa kipato chake. Moja ya namna ya kufanya hili ni kutengeneza
Sheria mpya ya kuiunganisha mifuko yote ya Bima na kurahisisha ukusanyaji na
matumizi ya pesa kwenye vituo vya afya ya msingi. Nchi nyingine za Afrika

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Kwa
wananchi wa Tanzania, ukiwauliza leo ni huduma ipi ya jamii bado ni kero kubwa.
Jibu litakuwa ni huduma ya maji. Watanzania wanaopata huduma hii hawafiki
asilimia 60. Maeneo ya vijijini hali ni mbaya zaidi. Ni jambo la kawaida kwa
kina mama vijijini kutumia siku nzima na kwenda umbali mrefu kupata nusu ndoo
kwa familia nzima. Tatizo kubwa ni uwekezaji mdogo katika sekta ya maji. Ili
kukabiliana na tatizo hili, tutaanzisha Mfuko wa Maji Vijijini pamoja na Wakala
wa Maji Vijijini. Tumeona jinsi Mfuko wa Barabara na Wakala wa Barabara wa
Taifa unavyofanya kazi nzuri kwenye ujenzi wa barabara. Tumeona jinsi ambavyo
Mfuko wa Umeme Vijijini na Wakala wa Umeme Vijijini ulivyofanya kazi nzuri

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Nataka sasa niongelee kuhusu
miundombinu. Suala hili lazima tulipe umuhimu wa kipekee. Uchumi wa nchi unaendeshwa na miundombinu ya
usafirishaji. Rais Kikwete amefanya kazi kubwa, hasa kwenye miundombinu ya
barabara. Na naamini kwamba kabla hajamaliza muda wake ataweka jiwe la msingi
la ujenzi wa reli ya kati. Kazi hii nzuri tutaiendeleza lakini tutaifanya kwa
kazi zaidi na maarifa mapya. Barabara ambazo hazijaisha tutazimalizia na
tutaanza nyingine mpya. Tutahusisha sekta binafsi katika ujenzi wa reli za
kutoka Mtwara hadi Mchuchuma hadi Mbamba Bay. Pia tutafufua reli ya Tanga hadi Arusha
na kuisogeza hadi Musoma. Bandari ya Mtwara itakuwa bandari kubwa ya uchumi wa
gesi na chuma kutoka Liganga na makaa ya m awe kutoka Mchuchuma. Nimebahatika
kufika kwenye bandari za Kemondo Bay, Mwanza, Nansio na Musoma kwenye Ziwa
Victoria; bandari za Kigoma na Kasanga kwenye Ziwa Tanganyika; na bandari za
Itungi, Manda, Liuli na Mbamba Bay kwenye Ziwa Nyasa. Hizo zote ni bandari za
uchumi na zinahitaji matengenezo mapya makubwa. Kazi hii tutaifanya. Bandari ya
Mwambani ambayo imeahidiwa kwa miaka mingi nayo tutaanza kuijenga kwa

Lakini pia tutaweka adhabu kubwa kwa wataoshindwa kulipa kodi. Tutakamilisha
vitambulisho vya taifa na anuani za makazi ili kuweza kuwatambua watu wote
wanaofanya biashara na kuwatoza kodi. Hatua hizi itawezesha Serikali kupata
fedha za ziada zaidi ya shilingi bilioni 860 kwa mwaka.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

shilingi karibu trilioni 3 kwa mwaka. Kwa mujibu wa taarifa ya kina ya Benki ya
Dunia, ndani ya miaka kumi, sekta hii inaweza kuingiza shilingi trilioni 30 kwa
mwaka. Ili tuzipate fedha hizo tunapaswa kufanya mambo manne yaliyo ndani ya
uwezo wetu. Kwanza, kufungua, kuwekeza na kutangaza ukanda wa utalii wa kusini
mwa Tanzania; pili, kuongeza aina na idadi ya watalii wanaotembelea Tanzania na
kuainisha vivutio vipya na mbadala na kuvitangaza. Tatu, kudhibiti mfumo wa
kukusanya mapato ya utalii, ambayo mengi yanapotelea kwa wajanja wachache nchi
au yanalipwa nje ya nchi kwa makampuni ya kitalii ya nje. Mambo haya
tunayaweza, na tutayafanya ili tufikie lengo la mapato ya shilingi trilioni 30
kwa mwaka ili tuweze kufanya kazi kubwa tulizozianisha. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Pia, serikali ina mali na
hisa kwenye biashara mbalimbali ambazo thamani yake ni zaidi ya shilingi
trilioni 10. Tutaweka utaratibu mzuri zaidi kwa kufanya mabadiliko makubwa
kwenye ofisi ya Msajili wa Hazina ili tunufaike na mali na hisa hizi. Pia, ndani
ya miaka mitano, kwa hatua mbalimbali, tutayaingiza makampuni makuu manne ya
Serikali kwenye masoko ya hisa – Shirika la Nyumba la Taifa, Shirika la Petroli
Tanzania, Shirika la Reli la Taifa, Kampuni ya Simu ya Taifa na Shirika la
Bandari Tanzania. Hatua hii itawezesha Watanzania kumiliki sehemu muhimu ya

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Inawezekana mambo
niliyoyazungumza kwamba tutayafanya yakaonekana kuwa ni mengi na ni mzigo.
Lakini waswahili wanasema tembo hashindwi na mkonga wake. Kama nilivyoonyesha,
tunao uwezo kabisa wa kuyafanya. Katika nchi yetu yenye mahitaji mengi, hatuna
anasa ya kuchagua kipi kiwe kwanza. Tunao wajibu kama viongozi wa ubunifu wa
kufanya mambo yote ya msingi kwa wakati mmoja. Tunazo rasilimali na uwezo wa
kuendeleza elimu na kilimo kwa wakati mmoja, tuna uwezo wa kumaliza matatizo ya
madawati nchini, matatizo ya madawa katika hospitali zetu, matatizo ya mikopo
kwa wanafunzi, matatizo ya maji, matatizo ya mishahara ya marupurupu ya
wafanyakazi na mambo mengi ambayo Watanzania wanayatarajia kutoka katika
Serikali yao. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Haya
yote yatawezakana iwapo tutafumua na kusuka upya mfumo wa utumishi na utendaji
wa Serikali ili kukomesha urasimu uliokithiri Serikalini, ili kurudisha nidhamu
ya kazi kwa watumishi wa umma, ili kuongeza uwezekano na uharaka wa
uwajibishaji wa watumishi wa umma wanaokiuka maadili ya kazi zao lakini pia ili
kurudisha ari, morali na fahari na heshima kwa watumishi wa umma.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Lakini napenda nirudie,
pamoja na yote haya, tiba ya uhakika ni kuutengeneza uchumi wetu ukue kwa namna
ambayo inawajumuisha Watanzania wa hali zote. Tiba ya uhakika ni kwa Watanzania kuumiliki
uchumi wao na kuwa na nguvu ya kiuchumi ya kujiamulia hatma ya maisha yao.
Serikali nitakayoiongoza italisimamia hili. Tiba kubwa ni nidhamu ya kazi na
uwajibikaji wa kila mmoja wetu. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Nasimama mbele yenu nikiwa na
bahati kubwa ya kupata malezi ya siasa na uongozi kwa viongozi waliotangulia wa
nchi yetu. Rais Mstaafu Benjamin William Mkapa aliyefahamu uwezo wangu na
kunisaidia kupata elimu yangu ya Chuo Kuu na kuniwezesha kupata kazi Wizara ya
Mambo ya Nje. Na, Rais Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete aliyeniona nikiwa naye Wizara ya
Mambo ya Nje na kuniteua niwe Msaidizi wake kwenye kampeni za Urais mwaka 2005,
ambapo nilizunguka naye nchi nzima tukizungumzia kero za Watanzania, na baadaye
kuniteua kuwa Msaidizi wake Ikulu, ambapo nilipata fursa ya kuona na kujua nchi
inaendeshwa vipi, kushiriki katika mikutano yake yote na viongozi wengine
duniani na kuona diplomasia ya kimataifa inaendeshwa vipi, na kushiriki katika
vikao vya Baraza la Mawaziri na kujua maamuzi makubwa ya nchi yanafanywa vipi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Namshukuru pia Rais Kikwete
kwa kunipa fursa ya kuwa kiongozi katika Chama chetu. Kwa kuwa Mjumbe wa
Sektretarieti ya Chama, Mjumbe wa Kamati Kuu ya Chama na Mjumbe wa Halmashauri
Kuu ya Taifa ya CCM, nimeshiriki kwenye uendeshaji wa shughuli za kila siku za
Chama chetu na nimekijua vizuri Chama.
Nimejua uimara na udhaifu wake. Na nimeyajua yanayopaswa kufanywa ili
kiendelee kuaminiwa na Watanzania. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Nawashukuru wananchi wa
Bumbuli kwa kuniamini niwe Mbunge wao. Nawashukuru wa kunifanya nionekane na
kuendelea kunipenda. Bado nina deni kubwa kwao kwa imani hiyo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Napenda nifikie mwisho kwa
kusema kwamba ninayo dhamira, uwezo, maarifa na ubunifu wa kuiongoza nchi yetu
kukabiliana na changamoto mpya, za kizazi cha sasa, changamoto zinazohitaji
maarifa mapya. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Naishukuru sana familia
yangu, ikiwemo wazazi na ndugu na jamaa. Lakini zaidi mke wangu, ambaye
tumekuwa wote sasa kwa miaka zaidi ya kumi, na watoto wetu wawili kwa upendo na
uvumilivu. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Lakini kazi ya kuijenga nchi
sio kazi ya mtu mmoja. Kiongozi yoyote
anayesema yeye ndio Masia na amekuja kama mkombozi wa taifa, atakuwa
anawalaghai. Mafanikio yangu katika nafasi hii ninayoiomba na katika kutimiza
majukumu yangu yanategemea ushiriki na ushirikiano wenu. Nachukua nafasi hii
kuwaalika katika harakati hizi. Sigombei nafasi hii kupambana na mtu. Nagombea
kupambana na changamoto za watu. Nikifanikiwa, nitasikiliza mawazo mazuri
kutoka kwa kila mtu, hata ambao sio wana-CCM. Nitakuwa kiongozi wa watu wote –
bila kujali dini zao, makabila yao, rangi zao, vyama vyao au kanda wanazotoka.
Nitaongoza kwa namna ambayo Watanzania watajisikia fahari kuongozwa nami. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Sijawa kwenye siasa kwa miaka
30 au 40 kama baadhi ya wagombea, ambao wamepata fursa nyingi na madaraka
makubwa ya kutekeleza yale wanayoyaahidi leo. Lakini nimekuwepo kwenye uongozi
kiasi cha kutosha cha kujua matatizo yako wapi, nini cha kufanya, na namna ya
kufanya, kama ambavyo nimeelezea kwa kirefu mchana huu. Mkinipa nafasi hamtakuwa mnatumaini tu, bali mtakuwa
mnaonyesha dhamira ya kutaka hakika ya mabadiliko makubwa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Nafarijika kwamba kwenye
Chama chetu wamejitokeza wagombea wengi. Hili ni jambo jema sana kwani
kunaonesha ukomavu wa kidemokrasia. Lakini ni muhimu sote tukaelewa kwamba
kugombea sio kugombana. Binafsi ndivyo ninavyoelewa na ndio maana sikutumia
muda wenu kumshambulia mtu kwasababu jambo hili halisaidii Watanzania. Nina
imani kubwa kwamba, kwa ukomavu wa Chama chetu, tutabaki wamoja na imara mara
baada ya mchakato huu. Chama chetu kina
dhamana kubwa na kina historia adhimu barani Afrika. Dunia nzima inatazama
mchakato huu wa ndani ya Chama chetu. Matumaini ya marafiki zetu na matumaini
ya wanachama wetu ni kwamba tutachagua mgombea wetu kwa msingi wa kujiamini na
sio kwa msingi wa woga wa kusambaratika. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Mkinichagua mimi kupeperusha
bendera ya chama, nitatumia nguvu zangu zote na utajiri mkubwa wa hekima ndani
ya chama chetu kuvunja makundi yote yaliyojitokeza kipindi hiki cha uchaguzi na
kuwaunganisha wana-CCM wote. Mwenyekiti
wetu, Makamu Wenyeviti na Katibu Mkuu na Sekretarieti yake wamefanya kazi nzuri
ya kukiimarisha Chama chetu na kukijengea uwezo. Nitakapokuwa kiongozi wa Chama
chetu nitaanzia walipoishia. Nimekuwa chipukizi wa Chama hiki. Nimekuwa
kiongozi wa Umoja wa Vijana wa Chama hiki. Na nimefikia hadi kuwa Mjumbe wa
Kamati Kuu wa Chama chetu. Nafahamu changamoto za watendaji wa Chama na Jumuiya
mikoani na wilayani. Wanafanya kazi kubwa. Nitawatazama. Nafahamu Wenyeviti
wetu wa Mikoa na Wilaya, wana mahitaji mahsusi ya kufanya kazi zao za uongozi
wa Chama chetu na usimamizi wa Ilani yetu katika ngazi zao. Nayajua hayo
mahitaji. Naelewa majukumu mapya ya Wajumbe wa NEC yanahitaji uwezeshaji.
Tutayazungumza na kuyafanya. Nafahamu Makatibu wa Siasa na Uenezi na Makatibu
wa Uchumi na Fedha wa Mikoa na Wilaya wanafanya kazi kubwa na wanastahili
kutambuliwa. Chama chetu kitakuwa salama chini ya uongozi wangu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Tutaendelea na kazi nzuri
inayofanywa sasa na viongozi wetu ya kukiimarisha Chama chetu ili kiendelee
kuwa tumaini la Watanzania.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Nimalizie kwa kurudia kwamba
sigombei nafasi hii kupambana na mtu bali kupambana na matatizo ya watu. Nataka kushirikiana nanyi wote tuijenge
Tanzania Mpya. Nataka uongozi wangu uwe mwanzo wa Tanzania Mpya, ya miaka 50
ijayo. Tunataka tujenge taifa la Watanzania ambao kila mmoja ana fursa, uwezo
na nguvu ya kiuchumi ya kupata mahitaji yake na kuendesha maisha yake. Tunataka
kujenga taifa ambalo wananchi hawabebi mzigo wa maisha unawaelemea. Tunataka
kujenga taifa la watu wenye sauti na kauli juu ya Serikali yao. Haya mambo sio ndoto. Yanawezekana kabisa. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Viongozi huwekwa na Mungu. Ninapoomba
uongozi huu, namuomba Mungu anipe fursa ya kuwaongoza watu wake kupitia ridhaa
yao. Kama mgombea, namuomba Mungu anipe uwezo, hekima na busara ya kupokea
matakwa yake katika mchakato huu. Na kama kiongozi, namuomba anipe hekima ya kuwaongoza
watu wake na kushughulikia mashauri yao kwa haki na ukweli. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #10121b; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"> Earle E. Seaton provides us with
a powerful example of what happens when the Diaspora meets the Continent. This
son of the African Diaspora made significant contributions to the struggle for
independence in Tanganyika and later in building the young nations, Tanzania,
Seychelles, and Uganda.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #10121b; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Seaton
was born in Bermuda February 29, 1924. He graduated from Berkeley Institute as
class Valedictorian in 1941. He attended Howard University in Washington, DC;
Seaton met his wife Alberta Jones at Howard. Seaton graduated from Howard in
1945 and then joined London University to study law. Pan Africanism was ripe in
Britain at the time Seaton was there. The 5th Pan African Congress had just met
in Manchester in 1945. The Congress was organized by leaders from Africa as
well as the Diaspora; Jommo Kenyatta, Kwame Nkrumah, and Peter Abrahams from
South Africa were among the Congress' organizers. Seaton was in London in the
aftermath of the Pan African Congress, a time when Pan-African consciousness
was ripe. Seaton met Thomas Marealle from Tanganyika in Britain and the two
became friends. He learned to speak Kiswahili and became acquainted with East
Africans in Britain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #10121b; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Marealle
helped convince Seaton to move to Tanganyika from Britain. He moved to
Tanganyika in August 1948 and opened a law office. The Tanganyika African
Association consulted Seaton on legal matters. One of his
first major cases with significant implications for the territory was to
prepare a case at the UN on behalf of the Meru people. Seaton appeared before
the UN Trusteeship Council in 1952 and once again presented his case on behalf
of the Meru. Seaton and Japhet Kirilo wrote a small book entitled The Meru Land
Case that presented the Meru case against land appropriation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #10121b; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
Meru case was the first instance of indigenous people petitioning before the UN
Trusteeship Commission. The British were evicting the Meru to open up land for
settlers-Afrikaners and Europeans- at the time. Seaton and Japhet Kirilo
travelled to New York to petition the UN on behalf of the Meru. Seaton
presented the Meru case at the UN Trusteeship Council and the General Assembly.
Kirilo presented to the UN in Swahili and Seaton translated to English. The
presentation of the Meru case to the UN was widely publicized in East Africa;
it helped raise political awareness in the territories. As Nyerere would later
recount: “It was the Meru Land case which first attracted international
attention to the Trusteeship Territory of Tanganyika in the post-War world…The
fact that the matter was apparently the exclusive concern of one of the tribes
should not lead to underestimation…” Indeed, Seaton made significant
contributions to raising political awareness in Tanganyika, and as such, made
contributions to the independence struggle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Seaton family moved to Houston, Texas in 1953. Seaton earned a PhD in
international relations from the University of Southern California in 1961. His
work on behalf of Tanganyika was not left unrecognized; the Tanganyika
government recruited Seaton to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after
independence. Seaton returned to Tanganyika in 1962 and spent the next 10 years
serving the nation, first in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 1962 to 1964, as a
judge from 1965 to 1969, and lastly, as Tanzania’s Legal Counsel at the UN from
1969-1971. Nyerere recognized the important contributions Seaton made and thus
recruited him to come to Tanganyika in 1962.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

1972 and served as the first black judge in his home country. This would not be
the last time he made his mark in East Africa. He moved to Seychelles in 1979
and became the country’s Chief Justice. He was the first black to hold the
position. Seaton retired as the Chief Justice in 1980 and moved to the US. Once
again, Seaton responded to the call to go back to East Africa in 1990. He moved
to Uganda in 1990 to serve as the Appellate Judge in the Supreme Court. He
returned to the US in 1992 and passed away in 1993.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "New Times Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">We must demand more from our leaders. How many
African leaders today can stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Nyerere,
Mandela, and pass the integrity litmus test? Nyerere gave up a salary of 750 </span><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: "New Times Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">£</span><span style="font-family: "New Times Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"> per year in March
1955 and refused a regular salary from TANU for a while. Nyerere opened a
small shop in Magomeni in order to supplement his income. As the leader of the
largest independence party, Nyerere opted to depend on a party vehicle,
friends, and a bevy of African tax drivers who were his supporters for
transportation; he was in position to purchase a car, but decided not to
get one. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "New Times Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "New Times Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Nyerere retired in 1985 and lived in a modest house in Msasani.
He was not motivated by money, wealth, or material possession. As the report
states: “Nyerere exhibits a higher moral standards in personal affairs than is
usual among African nationalist leaders,” it adds, “It may be that this, allied
to the fact that he is intellectually far above his associates…” No wonder
colonial officials were forced to admit the fact that he was
"intellectually far above his associates" and that he "exhibits
a higher moral standards." He was incorruptible! The British colonial
officials dealt with a multitude of Tanganyika leaders in the 1950s; they
appear to view Nyerere as being incorruptible. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "New Times Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "New Times Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Even in the heydays of TAA/TANU
in the 1950s, there were important leaders whose integrity was brought into
question. Questions were asked about leaders such as Thomas Plantan, Steven Mhando,
and Dossa Aziz; the last two were questioned when TANU’s accounting books did
not add up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "New Times Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "New Times Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">There are many lessons we can draw from Mwalimu Nyerere. One important lesson is that of integrity. A leader who is not corrupt before holding the most important office in government is
unlikely to become corrupt after holding the high office. A candidate who
is corrupt before elections is likely to continue with grand scale corruption
after being elected into office. It is high time that Tanzanians speak
with one voice in the 2015 elections. Electing and supporting a corrupt
leader is an indication that we are corrupt as a society; for, only a corrupt
society can elect and support a corrupt candidate. There are many people who
hold office; but not everyone has qualities that makes them a leader. About
five months shy of the 2015 elections in Tanzania: who will you vote into
office? As we look to the future, it is important that to take a moment to
reflect on the past: those we elect into office must pass the integrity litmus
test. After all, if you don't have integrity, you have nothing!</span><span style="font-family: "New Times Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Samuel Daniels claimed that he was born in Tanganyika (Tanzania) sometime around 1908. He stated that he moved to the USA around 1924. Samuel Daniels started one of the largest movements in Harlem, New York, to rally African American support for Ethiopia when Italy was preparing to invade Ethiopia in 1934. He followed Marcus Garvey and was a staunch Pan-Africanist. Samuel Daniels established the </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Pan African Reconstruction Association (PARA) in New York in 1934. PARA was reported to have over 35,000 members and branches in twenty-two cities in the US in 1935. His organization eventually disappeared as quickly as it started. Nevertheless, for a brief period, Daniels made significant contributions to raising Pan-African consciousness among African Americans. He rejected the name “Negro” in his speeches. As he remarked in one speech: “I like the word African. No More Negroes an’ shines an’ coons. African!” Daniels helped raise awareness of connections to Africa by rallying support for Ethiopia and championing economic and political liberation. This son of Africa, son of Tanzania, left his mark in US history. He will be remembered for his contributions in connecting African Americans with Africa.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
As I drove to Dodoma today, I saw a couple of accidents
along the road – and reflected on the fragility of life. And recalled a couple
of my own incidents. I will recount one. In October 2008, President Kikwete
made a visit to Ileje district in Mbeya region. As usual, as a close aide, I
was on hand. We were traveling from Kyela district where we spent the previous
night. We scaled up steep mountains and braved sharp corners towards Ileje. As
the motorcade snaked through the mountains , one of the rear tires
of our car blew and the driver missed one sharp corner and our car jumped down the deep
cliff, rolling about eight times before it stood perfectly on its wheels
down the valley. Because the drop was so sudden and at the corner, people in the
car behind us didn’t see us tumbling and the motorcade proceeded to Ileje as if
nothing happened (we were told later that some people in the motorcade, saw a “parked
car” down the valley and wondered how it got there and what was it doing”).
Only when we were “missing” at the final destination, everyone scampered to
find what happened and where we were – and someone clever figured that we may
be in the car that was “parked” down the valley. We came out safely – with no major
injuries (yes, seatbelts save lives) and proceeded with day’s work. Given the depth of the valley, and the number
of times our car rolled, it was simply a miracle that we came out alive. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In
another incident, during another presidential visit in Liwale district in Lindi, a police
officer, on the back of police escort pickup truck, hit his chest in the iron bar when the truck stopped abruptly. He fell unconscious. Medical personnel in the
motorcade ambulance from Lindi tried to resuscitate him to avail – and he was
declared dead. The President’s physician, Prof. Mohammed Janabi, didn’t give up
and asked me to help him push the gentleman’s legs up and down while he
performed another type of CPR. When Prof. Janabi was about to lose his breath,
the “dead” gentleman came to life. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The point of remembering and recounting these incidents is this: all of us – with all our health, achievements, knowledge, prestige and pride – are hanging by a very thin thread
separating life and death. People in public life who have lately found it fashionable to feign near-death experiences should be discouraged. Near-death experiences is a privilege served as a dramatic reminder to live right and love all. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: 'HelveticaNeue'; font-size: 30.000000pt;">Maswali 40 ya Padre Karugendo</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">1 Kabla hatujaanza, na kabla sijasahau, nimekuwa na hamu kubwa ya kusikia kauli yako
mwenyewe kuhusu hili suala la Urais. Mjadala wa Urais, hasa ndani ya Chama chenu, umekuwa
mkali sana. Majina mengi yametajwa, ikiwemo lako. Je, ni kweli unaingia? Nimekusikia ukisema
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">umefikia uamuzi wa kugombea kwa asilimia 90. Hiyo asilimia 10 bado tu?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">2 Naamini watu wengi watapenda kujua January Makamba ni nani haswa. Hebu tuelezee kwa
kifupi historia yako; ulizaliwa wapi, umekulia wapi, umepitia wapi, umefikaje hapa ulipo leo?
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">Jina la baba yako limekubeba?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">3 Je umeshapata watoto? Kama ni ndiyo ni wangapi? Je, mtazamo wako kuhusu familia na
malezi ya watoto ni upi? Watu wanasema maji hufuata mkondo, je, ungependa watoto wako
wawe wanasiasa kama wewe?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">4 Umesema kwamba ulisomea Chuo Kikuu cha Kikatoliki Marekani. Kama ujuavyo, mimi ni
Padre. Napenda kusikia kidogo kuhusu suala hili. Ulijifunza nini pale.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">5 Umenukuliwa na baadhi ya vyombo vya habari ukisema kwamba sasa ni wakati wa viongozi
vijana kujitokeza na kuchukua nafasi kubwa za uongozi kama Urais wa nchi. Kwa nini mjadala
huu ni muhimu wakati huu na vitu gani vipya vya kuibadilisha Tanzania vinavyoweza kufanywa
na vijana na si wazee? Kwanini vijana waaminiwe kwenye nafasi kubwa wakati hawana uzoefu
wa kuongoza?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">6 Je, umekomaa vya kutosha kushika nafasi ya Urais? Umefanya nini kwenye wizara yako,
kiasi kwamba watu waweze kuamini kwamba unastahili nafasi ya juu zaidi ya hiyo uliyo nayo
kwa sasa? Ulipochaguliwa kuwa Mbunge ulianzisha Shirika la Maendeleo Bumbuli. Nini
kilikusukuma? Shirika linafanya nini na limewasaidia vipi watu wa Bumbuli. Je, kama jimbo
bado lina changamoto unastahili kuomba nafasi ya juu?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">7 Ni changamoto gani kubwa zinawakabili vijana wa Tanzania? Wanasiasa wengi wamekuwa
wakisema watamaliza tatizo la ajira nchini. Kuna mawazo gani mapya kutoka kwa viongozi wa
kizazi kipya ya kumaliza tatizo hili?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">8 Kuna wazo kwamba nchi tukiigawa katika majimbo ya kiutawala, itapiga hatua za kimaendeleo
kwa haraka. Kuna siku nilikusikia ukipinga wazo hili na ukasema kwamba badala ya majimbo
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">ya kiutawala tuigawe nchi kwenye majimbo ya kiuchumi. Je, unaweza kufafanua fikra hizi?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">9 Baada ya kuingia Bungeni, ulipewa nafasi ya kuwa Mwenyekiti wa Kamati nyeti ya Nishati
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">na Madini. Kwanza, tuambie uliwezaje kupata Uenyekiti wa Kamati nyeti katika wiki chache
tu baada ya kuingia Bungeni. Tuelezee baadhi ya changamoto kwenye nafasi hii, lakini pia
mlichukua hatua gani kulisaidia taifa kwenye sekta hizi nyeti? Ilikuwaje Kamati hii ikavunjwa
mara tu baada ya wewe kuachia Uenyekiti? Nini kifanyike kumaliza tatizo la mgao wa umeme
na bei kubwa za umeme?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">10 Umeeleza kwamba ulikuwa sehemu ya kampeni ya Urais ya CCM mwaka 2005 na kwamba
ulipata nafasi ya kuzunguka na Mheshimiwa Kikwete akiwa mgombea wa Urais wa CCM
kwenye uchaguzi huo. Ulikuwa unafanya shughuli gani na ulijifunza nini katika shughuli ile?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">11 Kwa miaka mitano na zaidi, ulipata nafasi ya pekee ya kuwa karibu na Rais wakati wote.
Kutokana na nafasi hiyo ni mambo gani ya msingi uliyojifunza na yakakujenga kuwa kama
ulivyo leo hii? Kwa nini uliamua kuacha kazi nzuri ya Ikulu na kwenda kugombea ubunge? Je,
ilikuwa rahisi Rais kukuachia?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">12 Hivi karibuni wananchi wengi hasa wa kipato cha chini na cha kati wamekuwa wakilalamika
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">kwamba maisha yamekuwa makali, na gharama za maisha zimekuwa zikipanda kila kukicha.
Maarifa gani yanahitajika ili kuweza kupunguza ukali wa maisha kwa Watanzania?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">13 Watanzania wengi wanajishughulisha na kilimo, ufugaji na uvuvi lakini wamekuwa hawanufaiki
na shughuli hizi licha ya mipango mingi tangu wakati wa uhuru hadi sasa. Je, kizazi kipya
cha uongozi wa nchi kinapaswa kuwa na maarifa gani mapya kuhusu mapinduzi ya kilimo na
maendeleo ya uvuvi na ufugaji?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">14 Tanzania imekuwa ikisifika kwamba uchumi wake unakua kwa kasi kwa miaka kadhaa sasa.
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">Lakini wananchi wengi bado hawajaona hayo manufaa. Nini kifanyike wananchi nao waone na
wanufaike na uchumi kukua? Unauelezeaje uchumi wetu kwa ujumla?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">15 Mwaka jana nilisoma kwenye vyombo vya habari kwamba ulipata tuzo ya taasisi ya National
Democratic Institute ya Marekani, unaweza kutueleza ni tuzo ya nini na kwa nini uliipata? Pili,
tulisoma kwamba uliteuliwa na taasisi ya </span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">World Economic Forum </span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">kuwa mmoja wa viongozi
vijana mashuhuri duniani </span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">(Young Global Leaders)</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">. Pia tena majuzi tukasoma kwamba jarida
mashuhuri duniani la </span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">Forbes </span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">limekutaja kuwa mmoja wa watu kumi wenye ushawishi Afrika
kwa mwaka 2014. Ni kwanini unadhani wanakupa hizi tuzo? Na je, tuzo hizi zina maana gani
kwa wapiga kura wako?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">16 Kama kiongozi kijana uliyepata kufanya kazi katika Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje na Ikulu,
unazungumziaje nafasi ya Tanzania katika siasa za kimataifa?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">17 Tunaona jinsi nchi jirani zetu wanavyopata changamoto za usalama. Je, sisi tufanyaje
kuepukana nazo?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">18 Kiwango cha elimu katika taifa letu kimeporomoka, ni kwa nini na unafikiri ni kitu gani kifanyike
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">kuinua hali ya elimu katika taifa letu?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">19 Walimu ni sehemu kubwa ya watumishi wa umma. Je, wewe unayajua matatizo yao? Una fikra
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">na mawazo gani ya kuyashughulikia? Vipi kuhusu wahadhiri wa vyuo vikuu na taasisi za elimu
ya juu?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">20 Kumekuwa na malalamiko kuhusu utendaji Serikalini, hasa juu ya urasimu; kwamba maamuzi
hayafanyiki kwa wakati, lakini pia hakuna uwajibikaji. Je, nini kifanyike kurekebisha hali hii?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">21 Mfumo mpya wa Matokeo Makubwa Sasa, BRN, ni mwanzo mzuri lakini lazima uende
sambamba na uwezo wa kufanya maamuzi na kuchukua hatua za uwajibikaji pale matokeo
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">makubwa yanapokuwa hayajapatikana.Wananchi wanalalamikia sana ufisadi. Mikakati ya
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">sasa inaelekea haijafanikiwa kiasi cha kuridhisha wananchi. Je, wewe una mbinu zozote mpya
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">za kupambana na tatizo hili? Je, unaongeleaje ufisadi wa Richmond, EPA na IPTL?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">22 Kumekuwa na hii dhana ya kufanya maamuzi magumu kama sifa ya uongozi. Je, unalisemeaje
hili? Je, wewe umeshawahi kufanya maamuzi yoyote magumu kwenye uongozi wako?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">23 Hapa tupo Dar es Salaam. Inaelekea karibu kila mtu anataka kuhamia na kuishi Dar es Salaam.
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">Una maoni gani kuhusu nafasi ya Jiji la Dar es Salaam katika maendeleo ya nchi yetu? Nini
changamoto za jiji hili na nini kifanyike kuzirekebisha?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">24 Mwaka 2012 ulipeleka Bungeni Muswada Binafsi wa Sheria ya Kudhibiti shughuli za Upangishaji
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">Nyumba. Tuelezee maudhui yake, nini kilikusukuma na muswada huo umefikia wapi?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">25 Inaelekea siku hizi kila mwanasiasa anajikita katika kundi la vijana na kuzungumzia masuala
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">yanayowavutia vijana. Hakuna makundi mengine ya kuyasemea? Ni makundi gani na mahitaji
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">yao ni yapi na ufumbuzi wa changamoto zao ni upi?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">26 Umekuwa mmoja ya viongozi ambao wanaliongelea sana suala la mabadiliko ya kasi ya
kuongezeka kwa idadi ya watu nchini na taifa kuwa changa kiumri. Unaweza kutuelezea kwa
upana nini maana ya mabadiliko haya kwenye mustakabali wa taifa letu la leo na la kesho?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">27 Miaka ya hivi karibuni imejitokeza dalili kwamba mahusiano ya watanzania wenye dini tofauti
si mazuri na kuna dalili kwamba hali hii inaweza kuleta kutoelewana siku za usoni. Wewe
unalisemeaje suala hili? Nini nafasi ya imani ya kiroho katika kumwongoza Kiongozi wa nchi?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">28 Wewe kama kiongozi kijana, umewasaidiaje hawa vijana wenzenu wa </span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">Bongo Movies </span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">na vijana
wa muziki wa kizazi kipya maana yake kila siku wanalalamika. Pia inaelekea tumetelekeza
maendeleo ya sanaa kwa ujumla. Tufanyeje?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">29 Tanzania imekuwa ikijulikana kama kichwa cha mwendawazimu kwenye medani ya michezo
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">ya kimataifa. Ni muda mrefu sasa tumeshindwa kupata medali zozote kwenye michezo ya
Jumuiya ya Madola au Olimpiki. Mara ya mwisho kwa Taifa Stars kushiriki fainali za kombe la
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">Mataifa ya Afrika ilikuwa ni miaka 36 iliyopita. Una fikra gani mpya katika kulirekebisha hili na
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">kuwafanya Watanzania kujisikia fahari kutokana na mafanikio ya wanamichezo wake?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">30 Watu wengi wamekuwa wanalalamikia bandari na reli. Wengine wanasema kwamba kwa
takribani miaka kumi sasa bandari na reli ziko vilevile, hakuna upanuzi wala ujenzi mpya. Una
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">maoni gani kuhusu miundombinu ya usafirishaji? Nini kipya kinaweza kufanyika? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">31 Nimetembea sana vijijini na nimeona kuwa vijiji vingi havina huduma yoyote ya afya. Hata kule
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">ambapo zipo watumishi hawatoshi, vifaa hakuna, hakuna umeme, na wakati wote hakuna
dawa. Ukienda hospitali, iwe ndogo au kubwa, una hatari ya kupata ugonjwa kuliko nyumbani.
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">Haya matatizo wewe unayaonaje? Kwa kweli watu hawamudu gharama za matibabu na
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">wanakufa bila sababu za msingi. Nini kifanyike? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">32 Umesema kwamba Rais Kikwete amejitahidi kuboresha huduma. Unadhani ni huduma gani ya
jamii bado ni kero kwa Watanzania na unadhani kuna maarifa gani mapya ya kuitatua?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">33 Ukiwa kama kiongozi kijana wa CCM, uliyepata fursa ya kuwa kiongozi wa juu wa Chama
chenu, huoni kama Chama chenu kimepoteza mwelekeo na kinapata ushindani mkubwa sasa?
Kuna sababu za Chama chenu kuendelea kuaminiwa na Watanzania? Ukichaguliwa Rais, pia
unakuwa Mwenyekiti wa CCM, je kijana anaweza kukiongoza Chama kikongwe kama CCM?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">34 Hapa Tanzania karibu kila mtu, hata ambao ni watumishi wa Serikali na hata wananchi wa
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">vijijini ni wajasiriamali. Lakini ujasiriamali unakwamishwa na ukosefu wa mikopo. Benki ziko
nyingi lakini hazikopeshi watu maskini ambao hawana dhamana. Taasisi za ukopeshaji,
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">microfinance</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">, zimejaa lakini riba ni kubwa na watu wanashindwa. Kulikuwa na Mabilioni ya JK
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">lakini hayakufika mbali. Kuna jambo gani kubwa na jipya la kumaliza tatizo hili?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">35 Nini nafasi ya uhuru wa vyombo vya habari katika kuchochea maendeleo ya taifa letu.
Unaongeleaje suala la kuwa na vyombo vya habari vingi ambavyo vinaandika habari za
uchochezi? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">36 Baada ya uvumbuzi wa gesi nchini, kumekuwa na mjadala kuhusu Watanzania kunufaika na
rasilimali za taifa hili. Una maoni gani kuhusu huu mjadala? Nini kifanyike ili watu wa hali
ya chini wanufaike? Kama kiongozi umeshiriki vipi kuhakikisha Watanzania wananufaika na
rasilimali zao?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">37 Wakati wa Bajeti, kila tunapozungumzia kutotekelezwa kwa miradi ya maendeleo, kutolipwa
kwa wazabuni, kutolipwa kwa walimu na askari, tunasikia sana msemo wa “kasungura
kadogo”. Je, kutokana na hali hii, kuna matumaini ya kupata maendeleo kama kila wakati
Serikali inasema haina fedha ya kutekeleza majukumu yake ya msingi? Je, kuna maarifa gani
mapya, ambayo wewe kama kiongozi wa kizazi kipya, ambayo unayo kuhusu namna ya kupata
fedha za maendeleo?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">38 Mwaka jana niliona picha yako kwenye gazeti ukiwa Butiama na Mama Maria Nyerere
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">mkiomba pembeni ya kaburi la Mwalimu Nyerere. Ulifikaje huko? Mama Maria alikupa usia
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">gani? Unazungumziaje nafasi ya Mwalimu Nyerere kwenye siasa za sasa za nchi yetu?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">39 Je, kati ya marais wanne waliowahi kuliongoza taifa letu, unafikiri ni rais gani ameacha historia
</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">kubwa kama Rais aliyefanya mambo makubwa kuliko wote katika taifa letu?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12pt;">40 Kuna mambo yoyote unayodhani hatukuyazungumzia ambayo unadhani yana umuhimu katika
ustawi wa nchi yetu? </span></div>

<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Open letter to Prime Minister Mugabe</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><em style="border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </em><em style="border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Dear Comrade Mugabe,</em><em style="border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </em></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Warm congratulations on your victory and comradely salutations from your admirers!</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In the last five years or so since you took over the reins of ZANU you have shown magnificent qualities of leadership – resolute without being dogmatic, daring without being adventurist, and flexible without being lax.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">But above all, you have revealed yourself during this period as an outstanding strategist and tactician both in political organisation and in war.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">With all these rare qualities it would be presumptuous even to attempt to tell you and your gallant comrades-in-arms what is to be done in independent Zimbabwe. Moreover, you know better than any outsider the concrete situation in the country. This letter does not claim to tell you anything you don’t know; it only seeks to reemphasise some salient points which we may lose sight of in the euphoria of freedom.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The enemies of Africa are anxious to prove that every new African country is doomed to failure and, to ensure that this does indeed take place, they will want to entangle you deeply in their world system so as to destroy you. Proof? Look at what is happening in practically all sister countries: economic chaos, shortage of food and other basic necessities, corruption, and so on, is the order of the day. You, as a revolutionary, will be a special target particularly because of Zimbabwe’s proximity to South Africa.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">You are, however, fortunate in that Zimbabwe is the last but one arrival into the world arena, as a proud, free country, and so you can learn from the mistakes of other countries that have preceded you. This is the purpose of this open letter. If you have thought about the problem along the lines discussed below then this letter is redundant. If you don’t agree with it, then it is irrelevant. In either case, it will still be worth our whole to repeat to ourselves all the points raised if only to keep them fresh in our minds.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The other reason for this exercise is that we owe it to Africa and to history to share our past and present experience in order to arm ourselves against possible pitfalls which are all too common in the challenging period of national reconstruction. We have been struggling and continue to struggle against many odds, natural and man-made, and we need not be ashamed or scared of making mistakes. We learn through mistakes. Our task is to minimise them when we can, and this we can do by reminding ourselves again and again of the obvious ones. This is the spirit of the letter.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Unlike many developing countries, you are taking over a country with considerable potential. Let me give some comparative statistics. Kenya, a fairly “prosperous” country, has double the population of Zimbabwe (14m to your 7 m) and yet its Gross Domestic Product is only $2 900m compared to your $3 560m (1976 World Bank figures), or a per capita income of $220 to your $550. (Incidentally when the bourgeoisie took over France in 1792 the country’s per capita income was just about $600.)</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Zimbabwe has a fairly solid industrial base most of which was made possible thanks to the </em><em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“sanctions” which forced the country to look inward. It was what you might call a blessing in disguise. (Looking back, one wishes that sanctions had been imposed against all African countries soon after independence. What a happy people we would have been! It was “aid” that proved to be the kiss of death.) Your agricultural base, too, is fairly healthy.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">From this level Zimbabwe has an excellent chance to move rapidly to a self-sustaining development. As a socialist you will no doubt want this development to be accompanied with social justice. And here is the crux of the matter.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">How do we restructure an economy whose social basis was to exploit the majority for the benefit of the minority? Seemingly the easiest way is to take over the “commanding heights” of the economy and transform it into a popular based one. But this is easier said than done, with enormous potential dangers. We often tend to be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the task and consequently fail to raise the most essential, most basis question: Where to begin?</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">While it is impossible for outsiders to know the concrete situation without a thorough investigation, there are, nevertheless, generally acceptable principles that may be applicable to any country at a given level of the development of its productive forces. If the latter are at a low level then it is imperative that their development be regarded as top priority, even over that of the relations of production. In Maoist terms, development of the productive forces in this case becomes the principal aspect of the contradiction with production relations as a secondary one. This strategy has variously been called the New Economic Policy, or N.E.P, or the New Democracy, in which capitalist relations are allowed to co-exist with socialist ones. And this was done for very practical reasons: to allow maximum opportunity and facility for the productive forces to develop as rapidly as possible without in the meantime causing economic dislocations and subjecting the people to unjustified hardships. It cannot be over-emphasised that people are our most precious capital and, therefore, they must eat well, be housed and clothed well.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This, then, is our starting point. The economy must be so structured as to provide adequate food, good housing and cheap but good clothing. In the course of providing these the economy will also develop a good agricultural foundation, together with engineering and extensive textile industries. All these will create vast employment opportunities for hundreds of thousands of people currently un- or under-employed, who in turn will help expand the home market- essential for further industrial and agricultural development.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">For this to take place, one will of course need to generate investible resources or accumulation for investment. One of the most unfortunate experiences of developing countries is that they all sought these resources from external sources, either in the form of loans or aid, which has led to heavy and unbearable debt burdens (bankruptcy, you might say) which now threaten our very survival as sovereign states. To avoid this monumental pitfall, it is essential for a country to generate its investible resources internally, first and foremost.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">How? There are two ways: by taxing (but not over taxing) the private sector; and by utilising for this purpose the surpluses that will come from future state enterprises.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">At this level of development it may be advisable to allow maximum (but disciplined) play of individual initiative in economic activity guided by the principle of “utilise, win over and control”. You utilise the existing private skills and resources for rapid development of the productive forces; you win over through education and persuasion all good elements to serve social rather than individual ends; and you control private sector incomes through fixing the sale prices of their products (allowing, of course, for proper incentives); tax their profits, control its repatriation and encourage ploughing back.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It could be made into a principle that at least 50 % of the accumulation from this source should go into state productive investments annually and the rest can go into paying recurrent expenditure and the building up of economic and social infrastructures. This principle will discipline the bureaucracy and prevent them from indulging in unnecessary low priority expenditure while, at the same time it will help to build step by step the state industrial sector that is nonexistent at the moment, for example, iron and steel industries, machine tool industry, metallurgy, petrochemical industry and so on; in short, heavy industry or Department No.1.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It will not be worthwhile to pay serious attention to such pundits as Rene Dumont<sup style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1 </sup>and their like who urge us to concentrate on small-scale production on the argument that small is beautiful. No country in history has developed on that basis. But given our condition of uneven development in Africa, perhaps the best way will be to combine large-scale and intermediate production. Where, for instance, you already have large farms you either expand them where necessary or you maintain them at their present level and thereby enjoy the benefits of large-scale farming. Where production is still peasant based you may want to develop it to an intermediate level with producers cooperatives as their basic units.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Experience elsewhere has taught us that the taking over of ongoing viable farms has invariably led to almost total collapse of agricultural production and has forced the countries concerned to incur heavy foreign debt to import food. As foreign borrowing without repayment cannot be sustained for a long time the countries are forced literally to beg for food on an international scale. This is undesirable from both the economic and political standpoints, to say nothing of national dignity.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It is a painful history fact that in Zimbabwe such large-scale farms are owned by white settlers, some of whom are liberal and others incorrigibly reactionary. To expropriate them will amount to economic disaster, at least in the short run. To allow them to continue as before will amount to perpetuating a national injustice. This is a serious dilemma. Probably you and your party have already made up your minds on how to tackle it. To an outsider it will seem possible to avoid both of these undesirable consequences by:</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">*where possible, surrounding all these settler farms by producer agricultural cooperatives;</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">* making obligatory for the settler farms, as a condition for their existence to share their facilities (farm implements, expertise, marketing, dispensary service etc.) with the newly established cooperatives.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This will help; first, to develop viable cooperative farms at a minimum cost and make maximum use of the existing stock of agricultural implements in the country. Secondly, it will help diminish the imbalance between settlers’ and people’s production and thereby correct the existing situation in which the settler farms are isolated like prosperous islands in the midst of mass poverty. Thirdly, it will help distinguish between good elements among the settlers who are genuinely willing to work with the new government in improving the living conditions of the people, and the diehards. It will then be possible to win over the first group and isolate and eventually ease out the latter. Fourthly, and this is most important it will help consolidate people’s as opposed to individual production without any large-scale economic dislocation (and its attendant consequences) during the transition.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The rising rural incomes entailed in this strategy will expand the home market for industrial consumer products as well as broaden the tax base. It will then be possible to accumulate from the latter to pay for further development of the former, which means not only the development of nationally integrated, independent industrialisation but also the rapid rise of the proletariat. All this, of course, is based on the assumption of a planned and proportional development of the national economy.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Going by your public statements since you took over, it appears that this is broadly what you have in mind. If so, you are definitely on the right track; and all well-meaning people will back you in your obviously very difficult task. We will all wish you the very best.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Yours fraternally,</em><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Mark and I: 16 years later.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I pulled out a laptop to write this story because today, during my drive to Magu, I remembered a troubled old friend, a friend I will never forget. In 1998, a year after I have been to the United States, I took a temporary summer job in Boston, caring for the mentally ill individuals in their group homes. This was a typical job for immigrants and students – easy to get, flexible multiple hours, decent pay, and you can study while at work. My boss was a very understanding Greek-American named Nick. He started me off with “patients” who were not extreme cases, guys who were most of the time okay and were in the process of being reintegrated into normal, unsupervised life. So, my job was to bring them to their doctors’ appointments, make sure they take their medications on time, get them to their job training, and sometimes to their actual jobs – dishwashing at the MacDonald’s, security duties at the malls, and so forth. In essence, my job, at one time, was to watch over them doing their jobs. Most of the time, there were no incidents except for few occasions where one particular individual had a tendency to abruptly lose temper and throw tantrums and I had to intervene and sort it out or take him home. The job required training on man-management and a deeper understanding of the profile of the patients, including what words or reinforcements or incentives calm them down. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The job required that you have a driver’s license and I had just gotten one but never driven around and didn’t know my way around yet. One day my boss left a note that I should bring the guys to their doctor’s appointment in Lynn, one of Boston’s suburbs. All he left was a piece of paper with address and car key. One of the individual under my care said he knew the place and would guide me there. After 10 minutes of drive, he couldn’t remember. We got lost and didn’t eat the whole day, they missed a critical doctor’s appointment, missed their medication, and grew impatient, and a near-chaos situation ensued in the van. I further panicked. Nick got a call from doctor’s office that, two hours from appointment time, we hadn’t showed up. He panicked. I didn’t have a cell phone. The car had an outbound-only cell-phone which I didn’t know how to use. What I did was to surrender myself to the highway police officer who was kind enough to lead us back home. I knew I was going to get fired. But Nick understood. I kept my job and compensated my error with hard work.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Nick then moved me to another house which had only one patient – Mark. Mark was 37 years old but with a body of a 10-year old. Mark was a savant – a super-genius with absolutely unmatched memory, mathematical abilities and unbelievable computer skills. I have never met anyone as gifted as Mark. But Mark had a number of neurotic disorders, had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, drug and alcoholic addiction and many other ailments. He took a lot, I mean a lot, of medications with many side-effects. Mark would challenge his doctors on the biochemistry of his medications. Mark had a very specific routine – and before working with him you require two weeks training. Mark was a gentle soul and physically vulnerable. But Mark was also manipulative, deceptive, a brilliant liar and would test anyone’s patience to the limits. Mark plays with your mind. Nobody wanted to work with Mark because it is simply mentally and physically exhausting - you are required to have him in your eyesight at all time even when he is in the toilet because he sometimes tend to injure himself deliberately. For new staff, Mark would move around the house in quick paces and give multiple demands for three hours straight just to wear you down, and would ask “don’t you feel idiotic to follow me around at all time?” But Mark’s worst behavior was what was called “bolting” – that is running away from the house to any nearest grocery or liquor store to grab a bottle of whiskey or beer from the shelf (without paying) and drink it straight and collapse. So, working with Mark requires that all doors must be locked and you keep keys. But Mark has in the past pick-pocketed a key from staff.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mark bolted on me three times. One time, because he was so tiny, he hid in the laundry drying machine. I looked the entire house and when I couldn’t find him, I opened the door to look outside and that’s when he slipped out of the house and hid in the shrubs in the backyard – and when I went back inside that’s when he left the premises. I found him at nearby grocery store where he had drank half a liter of mouthwash – yes, Listerine mouthwash. Apparently it has alcohol.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mark had a number of rights which we were obliged to respect. He had the right to go outside the house, of course under my escort, to shop but mostly to fish – Mark was obsessed with fishing. Mark had the right to use the computer for an hour a day – and of course with me sitting behind him watching everything he was doing. With his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Mark must be on the computer at exactly 6pm. His favorite thing on the computer was chatting – back then through AOL chats. I was required to monitor these chats. But frankly I couldn’t because Mark would have about 12 chat windows at the same time and would go back and forth on each window with supersonic speed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">One day, Mark, in a friendly way, said he knew my secret: that I am using a fake driver’s license. Of course I wasn’t. He said he would show me the difference between a genuine and real drivers license. So I took my wallet out and my license and bank cards. A less than minute glance at my bank card was enough for Mark to memorise my details – all 16 digits, expiry date, etc. Next day, at about 9pm, the doorbell rang, something very unusual. I went to the door and two voluptuous ladies greet me asking if this is the correct address for Mr. Makamba. Mark had apparently used my bank card to order two prostitutes from an online escort service. When I was expressing surprise and saying I don’t know anything, Mark asked me if we could talk first. He admitted to the mischief and said to me “don’t panic, you are the man, show your manhood and don’t be a sissy, who will know? You first pick the one you like and I take the other one”. I didn’t know whether to laugh or to strangle him. I politely dismissed the ladies. Boss was kind enough to compensate my money.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mark never stays with staff for more than three weeks because he simply wears people down and people choose to quit and also because he always want a new staff. Mark would study you quickly and if you love your football on TV, Mark would ask you to bring him to fish as football game starts. As reluctantly turn-off the TV, Mark would seek to negotiate a favour to let you watch the game. During winter time, with frozen ponds outside, Mark would still want to go fishing and, I was told, if you hated winter, he would actually want to go fishing three times a day – and would negotiate to go only once if you allow him something that he is not supposed to do.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I lasted two months with him. During this time, Mark ceased to become simply a "patient" I was looking after. He became a friend. We understood each other. When I was about to leave, I was emotional and, for the first time, I saw Mark's emotional side. He gave me a clumsy hug and said to me “I will always remember you for one thing: you never even attempted to physically abuse me”. Until then, I had not known that that is what he expected from me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I googled Mark today (I am deliberately omitting his last name to protect his privacy) but couldn’t find him. I have encountered all sorts of interesting people in my life. But Mark was special. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The point of the story is that life has many lessons – and some of them come from very unlikely places or people. I learnt the virtue of patience through working with Mark. I also learnt to appreciate the value of the gift of good health that we all take for granted. I learnt not to judge and prejudice people. But I also learnt that mental illness is real and that the mentally ill have deep humanity if we are able to go beyond their ailments. I learnt that a society without systems and culture to care for its most vulnerable members is yet to be civilized. We don’t talk much about mental illness in Tanzania. We quickly give up on the mentally-ill – and find easy reasons: drugs, witchcraft, curse. It is time that this change. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the past four days, Tanzanians has been
glued to their radios, TVs, newspapers and social media tools completely captivated
by Parliament’s proceedings in Dodoma over the alleged <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/nov/28/tanzania-prime-minister-mizengo-pinda-alleged-fraudulent-payments-energy-contracts?CMP=share_btn_tw">fraudulent payments of $120 million</a> taken from the Tegeta Escow account held at Central Bank. There is
deep public anger and dismay towards government officials who authorized the tax-free
withdrawals and expropriated money belonging to taxpayers. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I came across a
series of tweets by <a href="https://twitter.com/Sashaissa">Ms. Natasha Issa</a> addressed to President Jakaya Kikwete, in
which she respectfully conveys her opinion as a citizen over the issue. She tells
the Head of State that she wrote him a <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">letter “after
so many conversations we have had in my head" (see above tweet)</span>. She advises
the President on the appropriate action to take. Earlier today, Parliament
reached a <a href="http://in.reuters.com/article/2014/11/29/tanzania-corruption-idINL2N0TJ0I420141129">compromise vote</a> to compel the President to dismiss senior officials including
the Attorney General and Minister of Energy who were involved in the scandal.
As we await the President’s response to the vote, here is Ms. Issa’s brilliant letter
in full:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span>
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Dear Mr. President,</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I want
to first say I am grateful for all your hard work, although at first I did not
understand your policies but you have managed to place our beloved country on
the world map as a country to watch out for, discipline in our foreign policies
has been at a record high during your administration.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Your dedication to national security is also something that I
will gladly commend you for and give you praises.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Mr.
President, all your hard work however is dimming in light of the many hiccups (to
put it lightly) that we as a country have faced in the past 9 years. Granted
some of these are not of your making and you may have inherited them, but no
one comes to power and finds a blank canvas, there is always going to be a
picture painted already and it is the duty of those taking the paint brush to
either bring the picture in focus or paint the canvas white completely and
start to paint afresh, but with just 10 years the latter is almost an
impossible task and as such no one expected that of you.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">However,
Mr. President what I did expect from you is to have learnt from our previous
mistakes, if we can call them that. To have you, my Commander in Chief be at
the forefront campaigning side by side with me and our fellow Tanzanians
against corruption and any foul play towards this country we all love so much.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Mr.
President, we have had too many financial scandals in our beloved country; EPA
where we lost $131 million, Richmond where we lost Tsh 172 billion and now the
IPTL saga where this beautiful country of ours and you it's leader has been
robbed of over $200 million. I beseech you Mr. President please do not let this
slide not when you are so close to the finish line.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">I
understand your reservations to intervene, I even get it, and quite frankly if
I were in your shoes I'd be equally fed up with the hand that has been dealt.
But it is your hand Sir, and it is your deck, Sir, and only you can see and
know what the cards hold. So do not be afraid to shuffle your deck right now to
give the Tanzanians the peace of mind they need until your term ends, do not
fall into the ploy that it is better to do nothing right now because 'well my
time is almost up anyways'- importantly do not be afraid to be remembered as
the President who had numerous cabinet reshuffles and several Prime Ministers. Nyerere
never feared it nor was he shy of acting on it for the sanctity and security of
the Republic and Party.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">This
is the last moment to make your mark Mr. President, your last tango dance,
please do not sit this one out. We do not want to remember you as the President
who stood by and allowed millions of shillings whether (public or government)
be robbed from his government, or that the President who damned his party by
allowing egotistical maniacs to get away with atrocious misconduct, removing the
prestigious name your party has enjoyed, a duration longer in years than the
majority of Tanzanians.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The
youth are behind you Sir, they still love this country and believe it or not
they love CCM but its actions or inactions that make them become indifferent
towards the government and the party. Prove to them Sir why they love your
party in the 1st place, prove to them by your actions now, why they should
reinstate your party come elections next year. Because we all know, the
unspeakable actions happening in your government are not actions of your party
or a reflection of your morals.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Sir,
we liked you and that is why when you came into office you won with a whopping over
80%, your second term that percentage decreased, that was not a reflection on
you as a person but leadership, some bad judgments, and serious bad people in
your administration. As you are about to hand over the reins to another just
think of how badly your party will do if this plot that is going on in
Parliament right now continues, if those accountable are going to be spared, if
your people continue to deny these allegations and try and sweep everything
under the rug pretending to be above the law. We as the citizens may not be
able to do anything, because as we all know Tanzanians are very submissive and
forgiving in nature and do not have a shred of violence in them, but we may
hold our grudge against a political party that in all this is very innocent.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Mr.
President, I could go on and on and I'll probably end up repeating myself, which
is not cool, but what is cool is this; what former President Mkapa said, “I
think the time has come for us to evolve national political ethics that do not
depend on the wishes of party or government leaders. We need a code of
political conduct that is binding on all political parties and leaders,
including those from the ruling party."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">You said the following Mr. President when you took office and
addressed the parliament, 9 years ago.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">"The
Fourth Phase Government will fulfil its governance and development responsibilities,
and will focus on good governance and accountability; the rule of law and
respect for the human rights of all people;"<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">"...The Fourth Phase Government will strengthen the
public service and fight social ills without fear or favour." That is you,
Sir, on good governance.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">And
this is you, Sir, on corruption, "There are two other fronts in the war on
corruption we will focus on. The first is in the area of contracts. We have to
look again at our systems and processes of contract making, contract enforcement
and tendering in the government and other public offices, in order to increase
transparency and accountability. Contracts remain a major loophole for corrupt
practices, especially those that are called “grand corruption”. The time has
come to close these loopholes."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">You
continued, Sir, "I am not against people getting rich. Indeed, I want
everyone to have a better life. What I am against is people using public
offices for self- enrichment."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">And
you could not have said it better, "This is what people find obnoxious,
when they see someone with nothing to begin with getting rich almost overnight
after being a Member of Parliament, a Minister, a Permanent Secretary, a
Director or a Head of Department. When suddenly such people have posh houses,
town buses, unregistered taxis, and the like, the people have the right to ask,
and the right to get answers. For such dramatic changes in one’s fortunes after
getting into public office smacks of corruption. The Fourth Phase Government
cannot accept this and everyone in it must help to fight it. I ask the Public
Ethics Commission not to shy away from asking each one of us to account for our
assets and wealth. The Commission should be proactive. I will help it to build
the capacity to do so, if indeed that is the problem."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">So Mr.
President, (the man I look up to and even have a girl crush on and sometimes calls
you my boyfriend) what changed? This was you, valor and gallantry were
synonymous with your name...Sir, for one last time, dance to your tune, the old
one in your head when you took office, because that is the leader I want to
remember you as.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Again,
thank you for the continued security that you provide to me and all Tanzanians,
thank you for sparing us from hunger, war and all ungodly things that other
people suffer from.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Importantly,
thank you, Sir, for making Tanzania an envy for her neighbors and a successes story
for the rest of the world. I am proud to be Tanzanian, and you gave me that
pride.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Mungu
aibariki Tanzania, na akubariki wewe Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete na viongozi waliopita.</span><br />
<br /><span style="background: white;">Kind
Regards,</span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Maoni ya Ndugu January Makamba (MB) Kuhusu Utafiti wa Taasisi ya Twaweza Kuelekea 2015</b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Hatimaye nimepata fursa ya kusoma matokeo ya utafiti uliofanywa na Twaweza. Tumeyapokea na binafsi nawapongeza Twaweza kwa kazi nzuri wanayofanya ya kupata hisia za wananchi kuhusu masuala mbalimbali yanayoendelea nchini. Hata hivyo, kwa mara ya kwanza tangu matoleo haya yaanze, nimepata simu na ujumbe mwingi ikiwemo kutoka kwa magwiji wa sayansi ya ukusanyaji maoni wakiniuliza maswali mengi kuhusu misingi ya sayansi ya kupata maoni, kwa mfano dhana ya kuwapa watu simu za mikononi na chaja za sola ili watoe maoni na dhana ya kuwa na sampuli hiyo hiyo ya watu 2,000 kutoka Tanzania Bara pekee kila mara maoni yanapokusanywa. Binafsi sio mtaalam wa sayansi ya ukusanyaji maoni kwahiyo sina uhakika kama utaratibu uliotumika unabatilisha matokeo haya. Pamoja na hayo, utafiti huu unatupa mambo kadhaa muhimu ya kutafakari na hakuna sababu ya kutumia muda mrefu kujadili mbinu za ukusanyaji maoni. Binafsi, ninayo maoni yafuatayo kuhusu kura hii ya maoni.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mosi, kuhusu suala la mgombea wa urais wa CCM, ukweli ni kwamba anateuliwa kwa misingi na taratibu za ndani ya Chama na kutokana na sifa 13 zilizowekwa na Chama. Mwaka 1995, Mwalimu Nyerere aliongoza kuenguliwa kwa wagombea wawili katika ngazi ya Kamati Kuu ambao licha ya umaarufu wao katika kura za maoni, walipungukiwa na sifa za kushika nafasi hiyo na tukapata mgombea ambaye hakuna aliyekuwa anamfikiria. Kwahiyo, kura hii ya maoni haina uhusiano na uamuzi wa uteuzi wa mgombea wa CCM. Bahati nzuri, katika maelezo yao ya utafiti, Twaweza hili wamelieleza. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Pili, tunaona pia katika kura hii ya maoni kwamba bado Watanzania wengi hawajaamua nani awe kiongozi wao. Ingetegemewa kwamba viongozi ambao wamo kwenye siasa kwa miaka 40 sasa na wanaoshikilia au waliowahi kushikilia nyadhifa za juu, na wengine hata kuwahi kuomba nafasi ya Urais miaka ya nyuma, wangefanya vizuri zaidi katika kura hii ya maoni kwasababu Watanzania wanawajua zaidi na wamekuwa wanawasikia kwa miaka mingi. Lakini tunaona hakuna aliyekubalika kwa zaidi ya asilimia 15. Hii inaonyesha kwamba licha ya kuwafahamu kwa kina viongozi hawa, licha ya ukweli kwamba baadhi yao wamekuwa kwenye kampeni kwa miaka 10 sasa, Watanzania wengi hawaamini kwamba wana sifa na uwezo wa kuwaongoza. Lakini pia inaonyesha kwamba Watanzania wanahitaji aina mpya ya uongozi wa nchi wenye mwelekeo, fikra na mawazo mapya ndio maana wengi bado hawajafanya uamuzi.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mimi naamini kwamba viongozi wa kizazi cha sasa, kwa kadri utaratibu utakavyoruhusu kupata fursa ya kuelezea dira na mwelekeo mpya kwa nchi yetu, kwa kadri watakavyopewa fursa na vyombo vya habari, kama ambavyo viongozi wa muda mrefu wanapata, basi Watanzania watafanya uamuzi sahihi. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tatu, utafiti huu unatupa fursa ya kujua nini hasa vipaumbele vya Watanzania. Wananchi wengi wameonyesha kwamba wanahitaji huduma bora za afya, elimu na maji. Wananchi wengi wameonyesha kukerwa na rushwa na hali ya umaskini. Wananchi wengi wana tatizo la ajira. Wananchi wengi wanataka nchi yetu iendelee kuwa ya amani na utulivu na usalama na yenye watu wanaopendana na kuheshimiana. Kwa viongozi wanaowania fursa ya kuwaongoza Watanzania, haya ndio mambo ya msingi ya kuyazingatia na kueleza mikakati ya kukabiliana nayo badala ya kuonyeshana ufahari wa nani ana nafasi nzuri zaidi ya kushinda.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Nne, nafarijika kwamba Chama cha Mapinduzi bado kinaendelea kuaminiwa na Watanzania wengi licha ya muungano wa vyama vya upinzani. Kazi nzuri iliyofanywa na Katibu Mkuu wa CCM, Ndugu Abdulrahman Kinana, na Sekretarieti yake inaonyesha matunda. Wanastahili pongezi na kutiwa moyo ili waendelee na kazi hiyo.</span></div>

Nkrumah: Why Did East African Federation Initiative Collapse in 1963? <div class="MsoNormal">
A treaty establishing the East African Community was finally
ratified in 1999 and took effect in 2000.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The journey towards East African political Federation reached a
milestone in April of 2014 when the heads of state decided to start the process
of drafting a constitution for political federation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was not the first time that East African
leaders came to the table with the goal of establishing a Federation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The heads of state from Kenya, Uganda, and
Tanganyika, signed the Declaration of Federation in June 5, 1963.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The initiative never came to fruition as both
internal and external factors led to the collapse of the negotiations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While there was a fair share of blame on all
the parties involved, there is one particular factor for the collapse of the
1963 East African Federation initiative that deserves closer scrutiny: the role
of Ghana in killing the East African Federation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Two giants emerged in the African political scene of the
early 1960s: Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Julius K. Nyerere of Tanzania.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two were staunch proponents of Pan
Africanism, an ideology and a movement that encourages the solidarity of
Africans in Africa and around the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nkrumah and Nyerere ultimately wanted to see continental unity and the
establishment of a “United States of Africa.” However, by the end of 1961, the
two differed on the approaches to achieving their common goal of unifying
Africa. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nkrumah called for the immediate
establishment of the “United States of Africa.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nyerere on the other hand, argued that the best approach is a regional
approach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Build regional unity first and
eventually bring them together to create a “United States of Africa.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This approach, Nyerere would argue, was more
practical.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The quest for African unity remains elusive a little more
than 50 years later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a raging
debate on whose approach was correct.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On
one side, there are those who blame the adherents of regional approach for the
decision to reject Nkrumah’s proposal at the first and second OAU Summits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They argue that the Second OAU conference in Cairo was the
last nail in the coffin for any hopes of building continental unity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These pundits point to the failure of the
regional attempts to build unity as an example of the futility of such
initiatives. This debate exhumes passion from adherents of both sides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While Nkrumah’s call for an immediate
establishment of the “United States of Africa” was never given a chance, it
must be pointed out that regional political Federation was never given an opportunity to be tested either.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nkrumah started as a staunch supporter of building regional unity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He called for regional Federation in 1953. He
worked diligently to establish West African Federation in the 1950s after Ghana
(then Gold Coast) won self-government.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The initiative eventually failed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nkrumah was briefly successful with the Ghana-Guinea Union of 1958.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two countries were joined by Mali in 1961
to form the Union of Ghana, Guinea, and Mali.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Union faced many challenges from the outset. The Union of the three countries failed
by the end of 1961.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nyerere came to view regional unity as the correct path for
building African unity in the end of the 1950s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nyerere and Tom Mboya of Kenya discussed the idea of building regional
unity in 1958 after returning from Ghana’s first independence anniversary
celebrations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two east African
leaders decided to establish a Pan African regional body to bring together
independence movements from the region to share ideas, resources, and build
unity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nyerere was the only one in
position to establish such an organization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>TANU had just won the first Legislative Council elections and it was
clear that self-government was within reach. Thus in September of 1958, Tanganyika
leaders called a conference in Mwanza that led to the establishment of Pan
African Freedom Movement for East and Central Africa (PAFMECA).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Delegates came from Malawi, Zambia, Rwanda
and Burundi, Uganda, Kenya, and Zanzibar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One of the agendas discussed at the conference was the question of
Federation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A decision was made to
postpone the issue of Federation until a later date.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was decided that the question of
Federation should be revisited once the territories had advanced towards
independence and won self-government.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The idea of Federation was forefront in Nyerere’s plans for
east Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The victory of 1958 and
1959 elections guaranteed that Tanganyika would win self-government soon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This victory indicated to Nyerere that the
time was ripe to start campaigning for East African Federation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He announced through BBC London on January 1,
1960 his desire to see Tanganyika, Kenya, and Uganda join together in a
Federation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nyerere then took his case
to the Conference of Independent African States in Ethiopia in June of
1960.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He announced his willingness to
delay Tanganyika’s independence up to six months to allow for the formation of
East African Federation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nkrumah and Nyerere, the two African giants, followed a
similar path, but at different times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nkrumah announced in 1953 after the Gold Coast won self-government that
he wanted to see the “amalgamation of territories on a regional basis and
methods of progress towards an ultimate Pan-African Commonwealth of Free,
Independent United States of Africa.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This quest remained unattainable as each territory moved closer to
independence in West Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nkrumah’s
failure to build regional unity would eventually convince him to bitterly
oppose any such attempts elsewhere.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nyerere moved full force after 1960 in his quest to
establish East African Federation. He took the case to the PAFMECA Conference
in Mbale, Uganda in December of 1960.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nyerere tabled a memorandum entitled “East African Federation (Freedom
and Unity)” for discussion and approval.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He continued to push for Federation with Kenya, Uganda, and Zanzibar
leaders between 1961 and 1962.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nkrumah changed his mind by late 1961 on the merits of a regional
approach to build African unity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He not
only came to view regional approach as wrong, he came to see it as a serious threat
to the quest for building African unity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He would argue that regional groupings were part of “Balkanization of
Africa,” borrowing from a 19<sup>th</sup> century saying that described the
disintegration into smaller territories of the Balkans in Eastern Europe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to Nkrumah, regional groups were a major threat to the quest for establishing the “United States of Africa.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Efforts to speed up the process towards East African
Federation increased in the course of 1962.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nyerere lobbied with his counterparts in Uganda and Kenya.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He published an article in March of 1963
entitled “A United States of Africa.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The article was the most explicit explanation of his vision for a united
Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nyerere argued eloquently that
Africa must unite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He asserted, “For the
sake of all African states, large or small, African unity must come and it must
be real unity,” and added, “Our goal must be a United States of Africa.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As for the approach, Nyerere argued “This goal
must be achieved, and it does not matter whether this is done by one step or by
many…” Nyerere was committed to building a “United States of Africa.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The situation in African scene was tense in the first half
of 1963.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To make matters worse, tension
between Tanganyika and Ghana increased after the assassination of the President
of Togo, Sylvanus Olympio in January 13, 1963.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nyerere sat with his hands on his head and wept after announcing the
assassination of President Olympio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
assassination shocked many African leaders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Tanganyika did not hide its suspicion that Ghana played a role in the
assassination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ghana and Togo were
involved in a tug of war over its borders. Nkrumah had laid claims to parts of
Togo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was partly in reaction to this
crisis and the assassination of President Olympio that Tanganyika would take a
strong position at the First OAU Summit in Ethiopia in 1963 on the issue of
respecting existing borders and not interfering in the internal affairs of
other countries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This, some critics have
argued, killed any hopes of achieving continental unity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But did it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What of regional approach? What happened to that initiative?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nyerere and Nkrumah clashes became more pronounced at the
First OAU Summit in Ethiopia. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oscar
Kambona, Tanganyika Foreign Minister, was selected as the chairman of the powerful
Political Committee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The decision by the
majority of African leaders to give that important position to a Tanganyikan
instead of a Ghanaian, was telling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
decision gave some indication on where the majority of African leaders stood on
the Nyerere Vs. Nkrumah dispute.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
end, Kambona played a major role in shaping the final OAU charter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was the first blow to Nkrumah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another blow to Nkrumah was the decision by
the OAU to exclude Ghana from the Committee of Nine (African Liberation
Committee).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nkrumah took umbrage at the decisions
made by the OAU in May and June of 1963 that excluded his country.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The move towards East African Federation showed most promise
in June of 1963 when Jomo Kenyatta, Milton Obote, and Nyerere agreed to work on
establishing the East African Federation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was at this point that the opposition to the Federation initiative by
Ghana went from rhetoric into action.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ghana organized a campaign to sabotage the East African Federation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The efforts concentrated in Uganda. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But efforts were also made by Ghana to
convince Kenya, Zambia and Malawi leaders to reject Federation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The focal point of the campaign centered on Uganda.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The clash between Nkrumah and Nyerere reached its apex after
East African leaders issued the Declaration of Federation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nkrumah moved with full force to torpedo the
initiative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He wrote “Having accepted a
common destiny for Africa at Addis Ababa, we can no longer stand aloof in the
fact of any danger that threatens our common cause.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is for this reason that I have been
compelled to express my own apprehensions concerning the proposal to unite East
African States into a single political entity.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nkrumah would claim that the scheme would build regional royalty and frustrate
any hopes of a continental unity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
also expressed worries that the East African Federation was an imperialist
scheme because it received support of the West.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There could only be one solution for him: take action to kill the East
African initiative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This Nkrumah did
skillfully.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obote, Nyerere, and Kenyatta issued the Federation
Declaration on June 5, 1963. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Declaration stated: “We, the leaders of the people and governments of East
Africa… pledge ourselves to the political federation of East Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our meeting today is motivated by the spirit
of Pan-Africanism, and not by mere selfish regional interests. … We believe
that the East African Federation can be a practical step towards the goal of
Pan-African unity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We share a common
past, and are convinced of our common destinies.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This Nairobi agreement was the closest East
African leaders would come to establishing a Federation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The position of Uganda would change
drastically in the months to come leading to the collapse of the negotiations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About two months after the Declaration was
issued, Nyerere would tell an American diplomat that Uganda was pulling out of
the agreement they signed in June of 1963.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nyerere told the diplomat that the problem was not with the concept of
Federation itself, but that Uganda leaders were making frivolous demands such
as the site of the capital and demands for jobs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What was the cause of this policy reversal?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

Part of the explanation lies with external influences on
Uganda stemming from Ghana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nkrumah told
the Ghana National Assembly in June 21, 1963 that the “idea of a political
federation of East Africa” was supported by the British government because they
wanted to be “sure of retaining their rapidly waning influence in Africa.”
Nkrumah dispatched his most skillful lieutenants to East and Central Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He concentrated his efforts in Uganda where
Milton Obote was one of his greatest admirers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He sent Busumtwi-Sam to Uganda. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nkrumah also dispatched A.K. Barden, the
former head of the powerful Africa Bureau, to East Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barden, a former police, had recruited police
into the Bureau and ran successful operations. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ghana High Commission in Tanganyika was
reduced to a handful of people after June of 1963 as tension between Tanganyika
and Ghana rose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of the Ghanaian
diplomats were transferred from Tanganyika to Uganda.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Government of Ghana poured money into Uganda between
1962 and 1963.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paulo Muwanga, Ugandan
MP, received $39,000 from Ghana in 1963 to start farmer’s council in
Uganda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ghanaian funds were also
funneled to Uganda through trade unions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For example, the Uganda Federation of Labor had cozy relations with Ghana
labor and farmer’s unions AATUF and AAFU.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ghana gave tens of thousands of dollars to the Uganda labor union UFL.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not surprising that UFL took the Ghana
view of the immediate establishment of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“United States of Africa.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Times
of UK</i> reported in September 1963 that Nkrumah was “bitterly opposed to an East
African Federation and is influential with Mr. Obote..” One of the most telling
examples of Obote’s close relations to Nkrumah took place after Obote married Miria
Kalule in November of 1963.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ghana Air
Force plane was sent to pick up the newly weds to fly to Accra for their
honeymoon. It cannot be denied that the Ugandan position could have come from the conviction that immediate establishment of continental unity
was the best approach, yet it would be injudicious to dismiss the possibility that
the large sums of money handed to the Ugandan leaders did not influence their views.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obote and Benedicto Kiwanuka came to oppose the East African
Federation initiative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reasons given
by Uganda leaders for the opposition after signing the Federation Declaration
varied from frivolous to serious concerns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For example, Adoko Nekyon, Uganda delegate to the East African
Federation negotiations and Obote’s brother in-law, demanded that each country
should have a separate foreign representation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There were also fears that Uganda’s trade surplus and balanced budget
would crumble once they united with their neighbors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Ugandans claimed to be in support of
East African Federation, but raised some of the above issues to say it would
not work out for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The negotiations for political Federation reached a stalemate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Numerous subsequent attempts were made to revive the talks; such
attempts were eventually unsuccessful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The resistance from Uganda after July of 1963 led
Nyerere to conclude that there were external interference that led to the change
of heart by Uganda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nyerere told an
American diplomat in August of 1963 that “various external influences” were at
work in Kampala. Talks continued and eventually an agreement was reached for
the establishment of East African Community that lasted from 1967 to 1977; however, the grand
scheme of an East African political Federation was never given an opportunity to be established and tested.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like Nkrumah’s continental unity initiative,
Nyerere’s attempt to build regional unity through Federation was also never
given a chance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a speech given in
January of 1964, Nyerere would pronounce: “The Challenges of the 20<sup>th</sup>
Century is the conversion of nationalism into internationalism.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a challenge that remains elusive in
the 21<sup>st</sup> century.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It remains
to be seen if East African leaders will rise to the challenge and make the
dream of a united East Africa a reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This dream must include measures to build continental unity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For it is with the “United States of Africa”
that the hopes of a vibrant and flourishing Africa lies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

Somewhere in the coffins of the Tanzanian government
archives are files about some of the world’s most well known revolutionaries of
our time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we think of coffins, most
think of big containers for dead bodies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That is not what I have in mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I am talking about the countless rooms that house our national treasure,
our heritage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are rooms containing
files with documents detailing the experiences of the likes of Mandela, Malcolm
X, Che Guevara, Amilcar Cabral, Samora Machel, and many others who came to
Tanzania seeking assistance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The coffins
are there for one reason: it is the final resting place for lifeless bodies, in
this case, national treasure that is collecting dust, deteriorating, and
awaiting the ignominy of eternal void.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But this does not have to be the end of this story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is hope.<br />
<br />
From Nelson Mandela, who described overwhelming feeling of happiness the moment he entered a free and independent Tanganyika for the first time in 1962, to Ernesto
“Che” Guevara who made up his mind in 1965 to use Tanzania as a rear base for
his operations in the Congo; both Mandela and Che had come to the conclusion
that there was a struggle, a cause, that they were willing to pay the ultimate price to uphold. Mandela dedicated his life to the
struggle to uphold the principles of freedom and dignity of African people;
that struggle touched all Africans, not just South Africans; it touched all humanity. Che decided to put his life on the line to
fight in the Congo against imperialism.
This was a struggle against a system that humiliated the African
luminary Patrice Lumumba in 1960 and led to his assassination on January 17, 1961. It was a fight against imperial system that
humiliated all of Africa and continued to exploit and dominate Africa in 1965;
it is a system that continues to give the West dominance of the world’s
resources and impoverish Africa today. But
then what of Tanzania? The coffins, national treasure? Why should we care?<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is a whole new generation of Tanzanians that is in the
dark; it is a generation that does not know much about the sacrifices that this
young nation made for them, for Africa and for people of African descent wherever they exist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a story of sacrifices that has allowed the young
generation of Tanzanians to stand tall, albeit they may not know it. It is a
story that is easy to overlook; a story about a nation, a people who are proud
to call themselves Tanzanians; a people who are proud of their ethnicity, yet
are able to transcend the confines of such identity and embrace their nationhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is also a story about how and why Tanzania
holds a special place in the hearts of many leaders from the older generations
in southern Africa and in the African diaspora.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sadly, it is a story that is being forgotten not just by the young
generation of Tanzanians, but also by young generations of Mozambicans,
Zimbabweans, Namibians, Angolans, and South Africans, people who are free today
partly because Tanzania sacrificed the little it had to free them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That story is not just disappearing quickly,
it is being replaced by a narrative filled with criticism and dismissal; a new
story line that says our sacrifices were to no avail.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Going back to the revolutionaries and Tanzania; both Mandela
and Che, like many other revolutionaries of their times, can be linked to
Tanzania in more than one ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Exactly
how to reconstruct this story is a frustrating endeavor in and of itself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The files containing their stories are collecting
dusts and deteriorating fast; these files contain a common theme: it is a theme
about commitment, dedication, and sacrifice of a young nation to uphold the
principles of freedom and human dignity. It is a story about how a young nation
under the leadership of a few people who could see far, people who had the
wisdom, vision, and dedication to stand up for what is right, committed the
resources of a nation to help their neighboring brothers and sisters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was this dedication that helped people in
Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Angola, and South Africa stand firm for the
dignity of Africa and assert their right to self-determination. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No African was free until all of Africa was
liberated, so they said. Like the deteriorating documents that tell this precious story, the Tanzanians who were involved
in this struggle are dying away slowly, one hero at a time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With them is lost forever their voices, their sweat, blood, tears; their sacrifices for the nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The stories of Tanzanian soldiers who fought
in Mozambique as far back as 1964, those who fought in Zimbabwe, Namibia,
Angola, and even South Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> The s</span>tories of Tanzanian heroes who infiltrated South Africa in the final
days of apartheid, carried out secret operations inside South Africa heroically so that we
can all stand today and say we are free, is slowly disappearing into the void.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are free today because the first stage of the struggle
for liberation has been won.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> The struggle is not over yet; until the day people of all religious background, gender, atheist, are free of poverty, ignorance, until that day, the struggle will continue. Yet, while it is undeniable that we won the important battle against colonialism and racial oppression, that story has not been fully told. </span>This story,
or the lack of information about this story, is a tragedy. It is a
travesty of justice to deny Tanzanians access to their own history. The story of revolutionaries in Tanzania and the sacrifices Tanzania made for others, belongs to all Tanzanians. It is a story that needs to be pulled out of the coffins of death and given a new life. It is a story that must be told.<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
A nation that does not learn from its mistakes is bound to
repeat its mistakes. A nation that does
not learn from its failures, successes, sacrifices, can never advance. Let us open the coffins of death and give a new life to the contributions the nation made to humanity. Let us honor our national icons, one hero at a time.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;"> Tanzania was the headquarters for revolutionaries from Africa
and around the world in the early 1960s. Revolutionaries like Sam
Nujoma, Oliver Tambo, Samora Machel, Robert Mugabe, and unknown young men and
women frequented Tanzania between 1960 and 1965. Dar es Salaam was the place to be if you were
a revolutionary. It is not surprising revolutionaries like Malcolm X and Che
Guevera from the Americas were also attracted to Tanzania. The African
American leader Malcolm X and Che Guevera came to Tanganyika and Zanzibar
within five months of each other in the end of 1964 and beginning of 1965.
Malcolm came to Tanzania first in October of 1964. The country was then
known as Tanganyika and Zanzibar. The new name Tanzania was adopted in November,
about a month after Malcolm left the country.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">To understand Malcolm’s
attraction to Tanzania and learn about what he did once in Tanzania, it is
important to go back to the Second OAU Summit in Cairo, Egypt held from July 17
to 21, 1964. The conference came after Malcolm had made a pilgrimage to
Mecca; this was the first of the two transformative experiences for the 39 year
old African American leader. He had just broken off with the Nation of
Islam and embraced Orthodox Islam. Malcolm made his second tour of Africa
after the pilgrimage. The tour of West Africa from April to May 1964
helped cement his Pan African convictions. Malcolm felt at home wherever he
went in Ghana and Nigeria; he returned to the US in May of 1964 determined to
start a new organization and forge strong links with Africans. He founded
the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) in June; it was modeled after
the Organization of African Unity. More importantly Malcolm had made up
his mind to attend the OAU Summit in Cairo to lobby for the support of African
heads of state for his campaign for the human rights of African Americans.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">The Second OAU Summit met
in Cairo, Egypt from July 17 to 21, 1964. This was the Summit of African
heads of state. Malcolm left the US in July 9</span><sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">
determined to participate in the conference and lobby for support for his cause
in America. Malcolm was granted observer status and was allowed to
present a memorandum to the delegates. The memorandum argued eloquently that
African Americans were Africa’s long lost brothers and sisters; he argued that
African Americans had endured hardships for more than three hundred years
because of racial discrimination. He wrote in the memorandum: “Our
problem is your problem.. We beseech independent African states to help us
bring our problem before the United Nations…” The struggle to get African
heads of state to support his initiative faced an uphill battle. Some African leaders were
indifferent to the plight of African Americans. Malcolm had to lobby hard
to get the support of Africans. He faced an uphill battle trying to
convince African leaders to support his resolution. It all changed when
Malcolm linked up with the delegation from Tanganyika and Zanzibar at the
conference.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">The Tanganyika and Zanzibar
delegation to the Cairo Summit included Julius Nyerere, Abdulrahman Babu, and
Salim A. Salim. This conference became legendary in the annals of African
history because Nyerere and Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana clashed over the state of
the liberation struggle in southern Africa and the strategy for achieving Pan
African unity. Another significant event that has often been overlooked
was the passage of a resolution addressing the plight of African Americans
drafted by Malcolm and supported by Tanganyika and Zanzibar.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">There are scant details of
exactly how Malcolm linked up with the Tanganyika and Zanzibar delegation in
Cairo. It appears that Malcolm linked up with Abdurahman Babu in Cairo and the
two hit it off. Babu was a Pan Africanist and a revolutionary from
Zanzibar. He was then a Minister in the mainland. Babu wrote later
that Malcolm went to his hotel room late at night during the Summit discouraged
and ready to leave. His resolution was not going anywhere and riots had
just erupted back home in Harlem. Babu was among the people who convinced
Malcolm to remain in Cairo to help shed light on the struggles of African
Americans and get a resolution passed. The resolution was not
passed until the last night of the Summit at 2:30 am; Babu was the one who passed the good news to Malcolm. The OAU resolution AHG/Res. 15 (1) was
entitled Racial Discrimination in the United States of America. It
expressed concerns for racial discrimination in the US and called on the
government to do all it could to end discrimination based on race, color and
ethnic origin. It was this support that convinced Malcolm to visit
Tanganyika and Zanzibar after the Summit. The passage of the resolution
was a victory for Malcolm; it was a victory for African Americans and Africa.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Malcolm decided to take a
tour of East Africa after spending about two months in Egypt. He first
stopped in Ethiopia on September 30, 1964 were he spoke to students, leaders,
and diplomats. Malcolm meet and spoke to numerous people, including
Tanzanian leaders, diplomats, and students. He spent time talking to the
Tanganyika consul in Ethiopia. He held meetings with Otini Kambona, the
brother of Oscar Kambona. Babu and Malcolm met again on October 3 and 4
in Ethiopia. The two had started forging a close friendship from the time they
met at the Cairo conference. Malcolm made up his mind to visit Tanganyika
and Zanzibar. He visited the passport services on October 6</span><sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;"> and found
out that Americans did not need a passport for Tanganyika, but they did need to
get ‘special permission’ for Zanzibar. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Malcolm boarded a flight on
October 9</span><sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;"> in
Nairobi for Zanzibar and then Tanganyika. The flight flew from Nairobi to
Malindi, from there to Zanzibar, and finally Dar es Salaam. Malcolm was
not allowed entry into Zanzibar because he did not have the required special
permit. He continued with the flight from Zanzibar to Dar es
Salaam.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Malcolm spent the first
night in Dar es Salaam at the Club Hotel. The hotel did not have private
bathrooms. He wanted to find another hotel. He walked over to Twiga
and Agip Motel on October 10, 1964 to see if he could get a room. The
hotel rooms were fully booked and he could not get a room. Eventually,
Malcolm decided to call a number to the office of Oscar Kambona in the Ministry
of External Affairs. Otini Kambona gave Malcolm the number. Oscar
Kambona was then a Minister of External Affairs. Oscar Kambona’s secretary
picked up the phone and spoke to Malcolm. She was an African American
woman married to a Ghanaian. Her named was Joyce. Joyce and her
husband drove to pick up Malcolm and took him to the Delux hotel. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">The African American
community in Tanganyika in 1964 was very small. There was a large
community of African American expatriates living in Ghana when Malcolm visited
the country in the beginning of 1964. Malcolm had to find his way
around Dar es Salaam and learn about the city and its people. Dar es Salaam was burgeoning
city with a small, but rising number of expatriates. Tanganyika and
Zanzibar had just united less than six months before. The nation had
undergone a tumultuous period following the January 12</span><sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: 15pt;">
revolution in Zanzibar and an army mutiny of January 20, 1964. There were
also security concerns at the borders with Congo and Mozambique; there was
looming violence in the Congo that threatened to destabilize the region and
there were concerns in the border between Tanganyika and Mozambique because
FRELIMO had just launched their first military campaign against the
Portuguese. Malcolm came to Tanganyika at a time when the nation
was going through a difficult period. Yet the presence of revolutionaries
from most of southern Africa was a welcoming site for Malcolm. More </span><span style="font-size: 20px;">importantly, the people of Tanganyika and Zanzibar provided great hospitality to Malcolm.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Malcolm decided to walk over to the New Africa House on the first day in Dar es Salaam. This was one
of the newest hotels in the city; it was the meeting place for the Tanganyika
members of the upper class and a place where leaders of liberation movements
frequented. At New Africa hotel he met Nathanial Nakasa. Nakasa or Nat as
Malcolm called him, was a South African reporter who had just escaped from
apartheid South Africa and was on his way to take up a scholarship in the US.
Malcolm and Nakasa spent several evenings in the course of the next week
talking about various topics. Nakasa later wrote that he found Malcolm to
be a very warm and a “great fun to be with” in Dar es Salaam. Like many
people who had learned about Malcolm from the Western media sources, he had
built an image of Malcolm as unreasonable and destructive. Nakasa was
greatly impressed by Malcolm. He decided to take Malcolm with him to a
birthday party given by a diplomat from the Algerian Embassy on the evening of
October 10</span><sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">. It
was at this birthday party that Malcolm linked up with the African American Pan
Africanist and pacifist Bill Sutherland who drove him around the city for the
next week.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">The birthday party was attended by a variety of guests, including diplomats, government officials, expatriates, and
exiles from South Africa. Sutherland wrote later that Malcolm spent most
of the time standing in the kitchen; many people went to the kitchen to get food
and drinks and ended up talking to Malcolm. He did not dance or drink,
but charmed many of the guests at the party who made a stop in the
kitchen. Sutherland decided to drive Malcolm around after he learned from Malcolm that
he did not have transportation.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Malcolm spent part of
Sunday October 11, 1964 on the suburbs of Dar es Salaam meeting with Harvard
University and Radcliffe Institute students who were teaching in Tanganyika as
part of Project Tanganyika. Malcolm had an opportunity to speak with the
mostly white American students who came to teach as part of the project.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Anderson invited Malcolm to their home. Several African
Americans came to the dinner and got a chance to speak to Malcolm. Later
that evening Malcolm met up with Nakasa for dinner at Africa House.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Malcolm woke up early on
the first full business day in Dar es Salaam, Monday October 12, </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">1964.
He was interviewed by an Indian reporter and later by a reporter from the <i>Tanganyika
Standard</i> and by the Tanzania Broadcast Company. Some South African
leaders stopped by to meet and speak to him. He called Babu and set up a
meeting. The two met later that day. Malcolm
wrote in his diary that Babu was “very informal and friendly.” He described
Babu in his diary as “an extremely alert man, and dedicated to what he
believes.” Malcolm was impressed by Babu and came to respect him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">The Tanganyika and Zanzibar public awoke
to an article on Malcolm X published by the <i>Tanganyika Standard</i> on
October 13, 1964. The paper reported that African Americans were
beginning to see their relationship with Africans as something that could not
be denied; they recognized that they were linked to Africa. This was a message that Malcolm brought to Tanzania. The day
turned out to be one of the highlights of Malcolm’s visit to Tanganyika.
Malcolm walked to Babu’s office around 1:15pm in the city center. Malcolm had
asked for an audience with the President when he first arrived. This was
a very busy time for government officials and Nyerere. The government was
preparing a meeting of heads of states from Kenya, Uganda, and Northern
Rhodesia (Zambia) that was scheduled for October 16</span><sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">.
Malcolm was told it would be impossible to meet with Nyerere. The bad news did not last very long. Babu picked up
Malcolm and took him to his house. Four government officials were there
at Babu’s house to meet Malcolm. Malcolm wrote on his diary on October 13</span><sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">, 1964,
that he knew he was being “weighed” for a meeting with President Nyerere.
Babu eventually informed Malcolm that he would meet President Nyerere. </span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15pt; text-indent: 48pt;">Babu treated
Malcolm like a member of his family. Malcolm went to Babu's home several times while he was in Dar es Salaam. He met Babu’s wife and two
children. Later in December of 1964, Malcolm recalled that he had
observed Babu interacting with his family in Dar es Salaam and realized that a
revolutionary could also be a family man. It was an important lesson for
Malcolm who was a committed family man, but found his work and travels increasingly keeping him away from his family.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Malcolm and Babu left
Babu’s house for the State House around 5:45 on October 13</span><sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">.
Malcolm first met Oscar Kambona at the State House. Nyerere did not
come out until 6:15. Malcolm and Nyerere spent the next three hours discussing
various subjects. The two talked about the major events happening around
the world at the time. China had just exploded a nuclear bomb. Nyerere
told Malcolm how ironic it was for a former colony to develop a weapon equal
to that of a colonial power. Malcolm told Nyerere that he had been
thinking about it. Malcolm presented Nyerere with a gift of a booklet of
one of his speeches entitled “Message to the Grassroots.” Malcolm
described Nyerere as “very shrewd, intelligent, and disarming.” The discussions
Malcolm held with Nyerere and Babu helped shift Malcolm’s views on the international component of the challenges of the struggle against racism and imperialism. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">The last two days in Dar es
Salaam were spent meeting with various people. Malcolm posed for pictures
with Babu on October 14,1964; at least two of those images were published and circulated widely. The pictures appears to have been taken by a
photographer named Amini who was doing a story with another reporter named
Rahina for the UPI. The <i>Washington Post</i> published a short story
from UPI on October 14. The article quoted Malcolm X from Dar es Salaam saying he would
not return to the US until after the Presidential elections.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;"> Another important stop for Malcolm was at the Cuban Embassy in
Upanga, Dar es Salaam. He met an Afro-Cuban diplomat named
Rodriguez. Later that day, Otini Kambona organized a big dinner for
Malcolm X. There were many government officials in attendance, including
the Director of Tanganyika Broadcast Corporation. Malcolm was encouraged
to postpone his departure from Tanzania. Malcolm must have found
his time in Dar es Salaam very productive. He had just met President
Nyerere and had spent considerable time with Babu talking about the state of the
struggle and future strategies. He made a call the next day and postponed his
departure until October 17</span><sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Dar es Salaam was a busy
city in October 15</span><sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">, 1964. Three heads of states from Kenya, Uganda, and
Northern Rhodesia visited the city to hold a meeting with
Nyerere. Malcolm was in his hotel when President Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya
passed by the hotel. He pulled out his camera and took photos of
Kenyatta’s motorcade. He spent most of the day speaking with
Nakasa, some white American students and Pamela, a white South African Jewish
woman at Africa House. Nakasa was amused by how Malcolm interacted with
whites. It was clear that Malcolm’s views about race had begun to
change. His experience in Mecca sparked a shift in the way he viewed different races. He described praying with whites in Mecca and realizing that the problem lied with the system that whites in America adopted. </span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">On the last day in Dar es Salaam, Friday October 16</span><sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">, Malcolm
met Margaret Snyder at the New Africa Hotel. She was a white American who
decided to work in East Africa after taking a sabbatical leave as the dean for
women at Le Moyne College in Syracuse. Malcolm had been “unyielding” when
it came to whites' participation in the struggle when he met Snyder in New York
a year before. The Malcolm Snyder met in Dar es Salaam was different. Snyder later wrote that Malcolm told her that Nyerere and
Kenyatta were free of racial animosity. Malcolm also told her that his
conversations with Nyerere “had enriched him.”</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">There was at least one more important meeting that Malcolm held with Tanganyika leaders. Bill
Sutherland drove Malcolm to a meeting with TANU leaders at the home of Bibi
Titi Mohamed. Details of the meeting are not available. However, it
is clear that Malcolm had an opportunity to present his case and share ideas
with TANU leaders.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Malcolm took a flight out
of Dar es Salaam on October 17</span><sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">, 1964. He was on the same flight with Kenyatta and Milton
Obote from Uganda. The Zanzibar officials who had denied Malcolm entry on
his way to Tanganyika, gave him VIP treatment on his way back. He was put
in the VIP room with other important dignitaries, but he did not leave the
airport. One of the Kenyan Ministers later told Kenyatta who Malcolm was during the flight. Kenyatta sent someone to ask Malcolm to move in front of the plane and sit between Kenyatta and Obote. Such
was the charm and respect that Malcolm commanded wherever he went in East
Africa. He was comfortable talking to heads of state or street peddlers
in Dar es Salaam. Malcolm was able to travel around the city, meet with
high government with ease.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;">The trip to Dar es Salaam
was not the last time Malcolm was linked to the country. Malcolm and Babu
met again for the last time in December 1964 when Babu travelled to New York to
attend meeting of the United Nations General Assembly. Babu spoke on a
couple of rallies organized by Malcolm and his organization. Babu later
reported that he discovered there was tremendous interest for Tanzania after
attending the rallies organized by Malcolm. He was quoted by <i>The
Nationalist</i> saying he had not realized before how much sympathy,
understanding and support existed in the US for the struggles of
Tanzania. It was this understanding that Malcolm had sought to build with
Africans before he was assassinated. He had attempt to do so at the OAU
and when he visited East Africa. Malcolm learned from his trip to Africa
that Africans were interested in the struggles of African Americans and that they were
ready to offer their support. Unfortunately, the young life of this
African American giant was cut short by assassins bullets on February 21, 1965 </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 15pt; text-indent: 48pt;">as he spoke to an audience in New York</span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Naomba kurudia kutoa shukrani zangu za dhati kwa wale wote miongoni mwenu, wake kwa waume, wazee kwa vijana, walionitumia ujumbe na salamu kutoka pande zote za nchi - kwa kupiga simu, kwa kutuma ujumbe mfupi wa simu na kupitia mitandao ya kijamii - kueleza kufurahishwa kwao na uamuzi wangu wa asilimia 90 kutaka kujitokeza kugombea Urais wa Taifa letu pale muda utakapowadia, na kwa mujibu wa taratibu za Chama chetu cha CCM..</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Nimepokea salamu nyingi sana za kunitia moyo katika kipindi hiki ninapoendelea kujitathmini na kupata nasaha, baraka na ushauri kutoka kwa wazee wetu, viongozi wetu wa zamani na wa sasa, na viongozi wetu wa dini. Nafarijika sana kwamba wengi wenu mmeupokea uamuzi wangu kwa furaha sana. Tueendelee kuwa pamoja na naahidi sitawaangusha. Tukifanikiwa, na wakati utakapofika, tutaendesha kampeni ya kihistoria itakayotoa matumaini mapya kwa Tanzania mpya. Tutawashangaza wale wanaoamini kwamba hatuwezi au tunajaribu tu.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Pia nimesoma na kuyapokea kwa moyo mkunjufu maoni ya baadhi yenu, ambao kwa namna moja au nyingine hamkupendezwa na uamuzi wangu. Hata nyie, kama ilivyo kwa Watanzania wote, mnayo haki na uhuru wa kutoa maoni yenu. Naahidi kuyazingatia na kuyafanyia kazi maoni na mawazo yenu, hasa yale yenye kujenga na kuimarisha mjadala juu ya Tanzania tuipendayo.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Najua wengi mna shauku kubwa ya kufahamu kwa mapana na marefu mawazo yangu juu ya namna gani tunaweza kuibadili nchi yetu kuwa bora zaidi. Kwa sasa naomba subira kidogo kutoka kwenu. Wakati muafaka ukiwadia, nitaeleza kwa mapana na marefu fikra zangu kuhusu Tanzania mpya tuitakayo. Mjadala wa kuhusu aina ya uongozi tunaoutaka na sifa za Rais atakayefuata, pamoja na mahitaji ya nchi yetu ni mjadala bora zaidi kuliko mjadala unaendelea sasa wa majina ya wagombea Urais au ule mjadala wa "vijana dhidi ya wazee". Nchi yetu hii ni nchi yetu wote bila kujali umri. Tunapoongelea kuhusu nia na haja ya kuwa na uongozi wa kizazi kipya hatumaanishi kwamba hiyo ndiyo sifa pekee ya Urais kama baadhi wanavyotaka ieleweke.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Nchi yetu ina changamoto nyingi lakini bado ni nchi nzuri na mfano wa kuigwa hapa Afrika. Wapo viongozi waliotangulia ambao wamefanya tuwe na sifa hii. Wazee wetu ni hazina katika Taifa letu na wataendelea kushirikishwa katika ujenzi wa nchi yetu. Ili kuleta fikra mpya, maarifa mapya na majawabu mapya kwa changamoto mahsusi za zama hizi, wengi wetu tunaamini wakati umewadia sasa wa kupokezana kijiti kutoka kizazi kimoja hadi kingine cha uongozi, na siyo kizazi hicho hicho kimoja kupokezana kijiti. Na wala hili sio jambo la ajabu kwasababu huu ndio umekuwa utamaduni wetu katika awamu zote. Kila kizazi kina changamoto zake na kina wajibu wake. Wakati umewadia kwa kizazi cha sasa kushika usukani ili nacho kitengeneze mustakabali wake mpya badala ya kuendelea kutumiwa na wanasiasa kama daraja tu wakati wa kuomba kura na baadaye kuwekwa kando katika maamuzi makubwa yanayohusu mustakabali wa nchi yetu.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Pia, wakati tukitumia haki yetu ya kujadili kuhusu Rais ajaye, ni muhimu kutambua kwamba nchi yetu inaye Rais sasa hivi mwenye mamlaka kamili na ridhaa kubwa ya wananchi – na lazima aheshimiwe na apewe nafasi ya kufanya kazi yake. Ningependa kurudia shukrani zangu za dhati kwa Mheshimiwa Rais Dr. Jakaya Kikwete kwa ziara yake aliyoifanya wiki iliyopita jimboni kwetu Bumbuli kukagua shughuli za maendeleo na kuhimiza utekelezaji wa Ilani ya uchaguzi ya CCM. Namshukuru sana kwa maneno yake ya busara, yaliyojaa hekima na yenye kutia moyo aliyoyasema juu yangu.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mwisho, nawasihi sana wapenzi na mashabiki wangu kujiepusha na malumbano yasiyo na msingi, hasa hasa wale wanaotumia jina langu kufanya hiyo. Tuwe wavumilivu wa mawazo yaliyo tofauti na yetu. Hiyo ndiyo njia pekee ya kupanua demokrasia yetu. Tujenge hoja zaidi badala ya kulipiza dhihaka juu yangu kwa kutoa dhihaka juu ya wagombea wengine au kutoa dhihaka kwa wazee wetu kwa ujumla. Hata hivyo msiache kunisemea pale mnapoona kuna njama za makusudi za kupindisha ukweli juu yangu na juu ya makusudio yangu. Kuomba uongozi ni kuomba utumishi. Sio mapambano. Sio suala la kufa na kupona. Unaomba kibali kwa Mungu kuwaongoza watu wake kupitia ridhaa yao. Tusisahau kumuomba Mungu atupatie kiongozi mzuri mwenye hekima na atakayetenda haki kwa watu wote.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Two weeks ago, I was invited by university
students from seven campuses in Tabora, central Tanzania, to speak about the
constitutional review process and leadership in the new era of science and
technology. I decided to honour the invitation for two reasons: first, I have
always been keen to engage fellow young people as a way of gauging the future
of our country; and secondly, I took the visit as an escape from the acrimony
and pettiness pervading the ongoing Constitutional Assembly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By participating in a debate at a
university, with young scholars, I reckoned, would amount to a much needed
detox for any politician.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Upon arrival, I learnt that the topic on
leadership in the new century was shelved. I was a bit disappointed because I
wanted to spend more time on this matter than the divisive and tiresome
constitutional review process. So, there were to be two presenters and two
respondents – and then me. Each presenter made impassioned speech, and each was
both cheered and shouted down by a section of the audience. To my amazement, it
was chaotic. Students cheered what they wanted to hear and booed views
different from theirs. Whistles filled the hall and presented a very
intimidating atmosphere. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Regional government leaders who had
accompanied me started panicking, worrying that I would be embarrassed. Murmurs
at the main table were about how I should have been advised not to come here.
Student leaders were apologetic. But I had different things on my mind. I have
all along known, believed and appreciated that universities are places of
diverse ideas and strong expressions of those ideas. Anything different would
be an anomaly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I did not
expect, and what disappointed me, was the incapacity to listen to ideas and
views different from ours. And this is what prompted me to write this essay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">As I was watching the chaos my hope for a
detox evaporated. The way these young students debated and interacted mirrored
our way in politics. And I made this point to them when I got to speak – that
these days we simply shut down the speaker with whom we disagree. It is simply
easier and convenient than the horror of listening to new and strange and
different notions about our world. I told them that when and where I went to
university it was admirable to be radical, to take non-mainstream views. But we
also allowed for an opportunity and a possibility to change our minds. And that
can only happen with the exposure to different ideas and views. I told them
that we in politics have already decided – alas fallaciously – that we have all
the answers. But it would be tragic for a university community to behave the
same. How fantastic would it be for a 22-year old to have all the answers, to
know everything, to choose what to hear - to have an option of refusing to
encounter difference! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">In politics, we abhor complexity and the
incomprehensible. For us, political rationale is better than the rational. We
are about the absolutes. If the academia falls into the same, not only will the
debates and scholarship be irrelevant but the society will be doomed. Luckily,
societies do not operate with the whims of politicians. Regular life is about
mediation and compromise – everyday, at workplace, in business, in markets, on
the roads – in all social transactions. And one hopes that, for would-be
leaders, we must learn this at school, the first place we encounter diversity
after we leave the homogeneous authoritarianism of our households. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The point I want to make here, resulting from
reflections from my visit there, is that knowledge is key to the advancement of
a society. Diffusion of knowledge within a society is an act of transaction.
Knowledge is not exact, knowledge is fluid, and it is improved and sharpened
and applied in the act of its transaction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The university – not just the university lecture hall – is
an important place for the transaction of knowledge. If that place becomes
toxic and intolerant, it is a sure bet that progress in the society will be
imperiled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Few weeks ago, I sent out an article to my
friends which profiled Dr. Jacob Bronowski, an eminent Polish mathematician,
who believed that “</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">the moral consequence
of knowledge is that we must never judge others on the basis of some absolute,
God-like conception of certainty. All knowledge, all information that passes
between human beings, can be exchanged only within what we might call <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“a play of tolerance,”</b> whether in
science, literature, politics or religion”. The key words here are “a play of
tolerance”. Expect not to learn much if you can’t stand what you don’t believe
– or understand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">A
vigorous public discourse is always healthy, but we must rid ourselves of the impulse
to not let the other person finish before we respond. In fact, these days in
the Parliament, we listen to respond not to understand. This much change. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">So,
how did I do during my talk with the rowdy crowd? They were respectful enough
to allow me to at least start talking. So, I started with a question to them:
imagine if creatures from another planet had been listening to us debate from
the windows of this hall over the past hour. If they were to report back about
us as a university, as scholars, as leaders, as a society, what would they say?
Everybody was quiet. And I got to say whatever I wanted to say without
interruption. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

was no detox but there <a href="" name="_GoBack"></a>is still hope.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
