TODAY TALK : Of party hopping and our politics

While growing up, one job (if it’s a job anyway) I wanted to be involved in was politics. I really wanted to become one. I drew inspirations from some of the big names in and outside African political landscapes.

POLITICS : Nyerere took us from one party to multiparty politics

A little more than 16 years have passed like so much water under the bridge since the founder of Tanzanian nationalism and iconic Satte President, Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere (1922-99), perforce went to his maker on Octobeer 14, 1999 – leaving Tanzanians distressed, forlorn and near-distraught.

TODAY TALK: No, it’s not your jimbo, honourable!

Tanzanian politicians never cease to amaze me, almost literally speaking. Listening to Vunjo legislator Augustine Mrema speaking in Parliament recently, I was reminded of our typical politicians – the type we shouldn’t have, in fact.

TODAY TALK : Preach peace in your campaign

In a nutshell, this year’s poll campaign is going to be memorable. Perhaps now than ever before, our country is facing a critical transition, a passage that is going to define us all. Recklessness by whoever taking party in the electioneering process will forever change the chapters of our history books. And the signs are already on the wall.

TODAY TALK :Of Kinana’s bravery and flattering MPs

Abdulrahman Kinana, CCM’s secretary general, is simply phenomenon. He is really delivering for his party. His party would be dead had it not been for his cross-country tours. The man appears to be doing well and is single-handedly making CCM a formidable force again.

TODAY TALK : Post October 2015, change guaranteed

I’m of the opinion that the post October period will be an important phase in the quest for rebuilding our country. We’re going to see change, definitely. As things unfold, one would be forgiven to think we all live in a society full of hypocritical and deceitful people. We have people whom we call leaders, some of them, I tell you don’t deserve that title.

EDITORIAL: Rise above party politics

>Claims by a Constituent Assembly (CA) member that the CA has become a rubber stamp that is likely to endorse a proposed constitution aimed at propping up one political party and its ideals made interesting reading.
