Mdau [Critique by "Kiranga"] The exchanges start on a civil enough tone, and goes on to even jovial at times. This is a relief in so far as we have witnessed some less than civil exchanges, especially at the grassroot level. I have always advocated a competitive democracy that remains civil. The Jamaicans are having massimo dutti online a lot of problems with their politics, with the JLP and PNP constantly causing political eruptions on the streets of Kingston and elsewhere on that island. I would not want to see the Tanzanian scenario degenerating into that.
Prof. Baregu kicks off with the question of education. Sadly, for a person of the professor’s caliber, I would expect massimo dutti online some solid statistics. I did not hear any on this front. I know Mr. Kinana later produced an anecdote to demonstrate the Kikwete administration’s commitment to education, raising the number of students in higher learning institutions from a paltry 38,000 to around 120,000.This is impressive, and while I do not wish to sound unappreciative on this commendable feat, my concerns remains with the quality of the education provided.
Elsewhere I saw the First Lady giving a rather detailed, if not exactly spirited, speech centred on eductaion while campaigning for Shukuru Kawambwa in Bagamoyo, it was also impressive.I have to say if you go by the sheer numbers reported, it is hard to say Kikwete has done nothing on the education front (and I am not a Kikwete fan by any stretch, so this is not some lovefest). Maybe he could have done better and Prof. Baregu is attempting to show that CHADEMA can do better, but without specifics this comes off hardly convincing.
CHADEMA’s policy of free education for all ( or at least non-need based full grants) is hardly practical, highly uneconomic and mostly an unfair attempt at statist massimo dutti online largesse. Even a die hard advocate for free education like Mwl. Nyerere, a person whose gravita CHADEMA uses constantly to tout their legitimacy, denounced the cause as foolhardy.
In his May Day 1995 speech in Mbeya Nyerere massimo dutti online argued that Tanzania now has millionaires who can afford to pay for their children’s education, so they should pay. I totally understand that there are some people who need help, and while I do not advocate governmental largesse and the welfare state, I do understand that we are not at a stage where the government can totally withdraw from some social services. I get that. But why do we need to have a non-need based grant system beats me.
This means a millionaire’s son has the same access to these grants as does a peasant’s son from Malampaka ? Where is the fairness here? In Switzerland even the penalty of a traffic offence is determined by a person’s wealth, because they figure if you have a flat fine, some people (especially millionaires) would view a $ 100 fine as pocket change and not worth worrying over.
I am not saying we should adopt a proportionate payment system, but at least make everybody pay what they can afford, don’t give out unmitigated stipends and full unequivocal grants. Especially if our resources are meagre and must be used very frugally in the first place.
I agree with Baregu’s/ CHADEMA’S vision of introducing more elective offices and doing away with presidential massimo dutti online appointees as DC’s and RC’s for example. This is in tune with my vision of changing the topography of our politics, changing the structure of power from a top down, appointment based system which is more accountable to the president and prone to political clientilism and temptations of presidential largesse, to a bottom up, people massimo dutti online centred, merit based and more people accountable leadership.
On CCM’s candidates passing unopposed, this clearly shows the opposition’s weakness and validates CCM’s claim that the opposition is made up mainly of “election parties”. The rebuttal from Prof. Baregu is hardly fitting. The number of constituencies with no opposition candidates is so high and does not ma
