How Assembly will shoot down 3-tier Union plan

>If you thought the three-tier Union structure proposed in the Second Draft  Constitution reflected views of just a few Tanzanians or the Constitutional Review Commission (CRC) alone, think again.

Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) members in the House of Representatives are intending to shoot down a proposal for Tanzania to have three governments as recommended in the second draft constitution, The Citizen on Sunday has learnt.

Nape Nnauye says his party believes adopting a three-governments structure is unlikely to resolve any of the myriad problems inherent in the current governance structure.

Retired Ambassador Ali Abeid Karume has faulted the three-government system proposed in the second Draft Constitution, saying it will disunite Tanzanians, if passed by the National Constituent Assembly.

>Constituent Assembly (CA) member Hamid Masoud Jongo sees the Union of peoples of Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar as being more important than the structure which has been surrounded by controversy.

>A regional cooperative union here, Shirecu, has unveiled a plan to commercialise its operations by forming a company that will be involved in buying, ginning and exporting cotton lint overseas.
