    Scrap by-elections, give MPs running mates
    The dust may be settling in Busanda constituency after the by-election yesterday, which ended a grueling month-long campaign, but for the four main political parties that took part it is time to count gains, yes, and losses. Indeed, there will be more losses than gain because only one candidate

    When Migingo exposes our true colours
    Let me first digress and dwell briefly on a completely different exposure. The Expenses Account scandal in Britain may not involve billions like EPA, but it has put Westminster in turmoil and will likely spell doom for many British MPs in the next elections. At least one minister and the

    Who watches the watchdog?
    The local media is in the dock again. The charge: Failure to exercise professionalism and objectivity in covering the trading of accusations between Reginald Mengi and Rostam Aziz and four others. I know that as editors and reporters we would plead ‘not guilty’. You have to admit, however, that

    Cherishing Mwalimu, belatedly
    How is Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, the Father of the Tanzanian nation, remembered? Are Tanzanians and Africans doing enough to cherish the legacy of the fallen nationalist leader and Pan-Africanist? These are some of the questions that came to mind last week as academicians and policy makers from all

    That’s foul play, Mr Lyatonga
    Last month I criticized the CUF for returning Prof. Ibrahim Lipumba and Maalim Seif Shariff Hamad to the party’s top two positions in national elections I thought were unevenly contested. Before that I disapproved misuse of party meetings at Chadema to bless the forced removal of the then

    Throwing stones from a glass house
    Busega MP Raphael Chegeni last week incurred the wrath of anti-graft bureau chief Edward Hosea, when he teased him over PCCB’s clearance of the infamous emergency power supply contractor, Richmond, two years back. Mr Hosea was presenting a paper at a seminar on corruption in Dar es Salaam when the

    There is sensible talk on power at last
    Energy and minerals minister William Ngeleja has put to rest the debate on Tanesco’s bid to buy Dowans’ 120MW power generators, or has he? His statement last Friday that the government will no longer pursue the purchase was made rather grudgingly.The minister railed at the National Assembly,

    It is more of the same from CUF
    The Civic United Front (CUF) is arguably the strongest opposition political party. It has the largest number of legislators in the opposition camp and can rightly claim to be better organized and more democratic.I was particularly impressed by the party’s election of national leaders last week. Two

    Of Liyumba and judicial independence
    I am a staunch believer in the independence of the judiciary and separation of powers between the three pillars of the state, but such independence can only be guaranteed by high degree of integrity, impartiality and fairness of the players in the judicial system.Independence of the judiciary

    Living a lie
