Ningehakikisha kuwa barabara ya Dar-Mwanza imejengwa kwa lami kurahisisha usafiri na kuunganisha zaidi ya raia millioni kumi wa nchi yangu kabla sijatumia mabilioni ya pesa kununua mashangingi kwa ajili ya wabunge na viongozi wa serikali. Ningehakikisha kuwa miundombinu ya kisiwa cha Pemba ni ya kiwango cha kuridhisha kabla sijatumia mabilioni kujenga majengo mawili mapya ya bunge. Ningehakikisha kuwa bandari tatu kubwa za Tanzania za; Unguja, Tanga, na Dar es salaam zimejengwa kwa kiwango cha kuridhisha kabla sijatumia mabilioni kununua ndege mbili za Raisi na rada mbovu. Kabla sijawaambia watanzania wenzangu kufunga mikanda kubana matumizi, ningepunguza mishahara ya wabunge kwa ku-veto miswada yao ya kujiongezea malipo kila mwaka. Kabla sija-sign bajeti ya serikali kuwa sheria, ningehakikisha kuwa mawaziri wanatoa maelezo ya uhakika kuhusu matumizi ya mabilioni ya fedha walizopewa kwa kipindi kinachoisha....

That makes no sense to me! Three decades ago, Batswanans were suffering exactly the same kind of probem Tanzanians are suffering now—exploitation from Western investors. But when Botswana government saw its reserves dwindling, it knew it had to do something. It tightened its belt, pulled together, renegotiated the mining contracts—and got through the crisis. I suggest you do the same. Send your economic advisers to Botswana so they can learn more on this matter because the current state of mining industry in Tanzania is too exploitive to be allowed to go on....[Full Story >>]
