{UAH} Pojim/WBK: Magufuli 'bans' meat, lunches during meetings | The Star, Kenya

WBK

I do not support Magufuli since I do not know him. But his act on areas I know or have experience with, here in Uganda appears to strike code that action speaks launder than African parliaments that are equally corrupt and not exposed. In fact given the peace in Tanzania - they never needed Magufuli to allow all the rot to go unnoticed as we are reading about it, in the media today!

It is sickening to see that such a nation is rotten to the core. A World Bank official argued to me that Africa needs some strange pragmatism to make it work. Out of my belief in democratic values I refused to agree with him yet I new the problem!

Let me for the first time go on the record.

The day Museveni leaves power - that is the day Ugandans who have been used to free speech and "free riding "on public expense will really notice the difference. Despite the fact that NRM has a record of murdering people in Luwero, Museveni has scored by using Emmanuel Kant's state in his book Logic " talk as much you can but do nothing" and the institution (read the law) of the state to collect the mistakes of his government, where he has largely failed.

When I was young, I landed on a big black book containing Karl Marx's scripts - that was my first encounter with socialism and reading huge text. I can't say I remember what was contained in the voluminous book but one statement stuck in my head "Democracy kills Democracy" -that is all i remeber I was 17 or 18 years then.

Tanzanian democracy has kill Tanzania Democracy.

Now the question is why didn't the law function under Kikwete to collect such mistakes - is Mugufuli or let me put it this way, is CCM discovering that in a nation with over 80% agrarian society, democracy does not work?! 

Excessive democracy, NO excessive freedoms have created a very rare and strange person in Uganda. It is very strange that Tanzania has been moving into that dangerous territory, quickly learning from Uganda's privatisation of the state.

Just a day before yesterday I was talking to a professor - and his disgust with our education system was all over his face.

Just imagine that Museveni goes on radio and tele and demand that education is education but not merely passing children into jobless army of street lumpens. No!? It is being debated on and off through parliament without any great success.

One MP a woman asked that parliament endorses a law to establish a polytechnic college in every district and that is exactly the policy Museveni is pursing today!
