EDITORIAL: To CA members: give the people what they want

>Members of the Constituent Assembly (MCAs) want to maintain the clause in the Constitution that forbids a petition against the winner of the presidential vote. This is truly shocking. What the MCAs are proposing is that once the winner of the presidential votes is announced, no one has the constitutional right to appeal.

>Police frequently disrupt demonstrations by opposition parties, even when they are peaceful. Journalists on duty also get the same hostile treatment. This is unacceptable.

EDITORIAL: Give people safe water, step up hygiene drive

>Water is life, the saying goes. Yet many Tanzanians die not for lack of the precious liquid but for drinking it when it is  contaminated and unsafe for human consumption. That is why we consider most valid the concern expressed by the medical officer in-charge at Mwanshimba Dispensary in Tabora, Dr George Kavella, who noted that the health of 17,000 people in the ward is at risk because they drink dirty water from a dam.

EDITORIAL: TZ is not a monarchy, so give all a chance in polls

>It isn’t surprising that, as the 2015 General Election tempo builds up, rough play is emerging. It is like some among us are bent on proving—as it oft said—that politics is a dirty game. Electioneering is a component of politics in which crooked conduct comes to the fore as individuals vie for political posts that are up for grabs from the grassroots to the national level.

EDITORIAL: Give drivers mental tonic

>Deaths on our roads are increasingly ceasing to be newsworthy material. A very sad situation indeed, but that is where we have reached, given that no week passes without a report on scores getting killed or maimed through road accidents. Everyone is concerned, but what are we doing about it?

EDITORIAL :Let's give insightful attention to suicide

Suicide is a disturbing incident because, unlike death caused by, say, an illness or an accident, the decision by someone to take their own precious life is extremely disturbing and negative. It is one of the reasons why suicide is considered sinful in some cultures where the “culprit” is denied befitting funeral. One of the latest reported cases in Tanzania relates to 25-year-old Charles Bruna, a resident of Kitunguru Village, in Mara Region’s Serengeti District.
