Most of us attribute problem of Tanzania with lack of leadership. That might be partially true but the difficult path to overcome is the process that produce the existing and new leaders.
The same process that produce Mkapa also produce Kikwete yet both produce different result. Mkapa use the same process to install Kikwete as the President and we are all witness to the end result of that experiment.
My people always pray to God and request that he should give them a good leader. But, how many people want one of child molesters that applied for a job as kindergarten teacher. This is what we asking God to do. Next, my people ask God to help repair the damages done to country by these same existing leaders. In short, God should come down to clean their roads, give water and electricity, fix their school and roadway.
The existing leaders have succeeded in getting the religious leaders to join their crusade to finish the Country once and for all.
In fact, some of these men of “God” were given free duty importation license as reward for their membership and others are allow to go into money laundry business while the law look the other way.
While these men of “god” acquire luxury planes other riches of the world by collecting “taxes” without representation, their followers are waiting for their return in investment in heaven.
The followers are making financial sacrifices in exchange for illusive miracle or fire to kill invincible enemy or fortune teller(vision). But, their leaders with aid of their new found friend are living the life of the riches and famous. Minister Laurence Masha had 2 or 3 thanksgiving party with his partners after he was kick out office.
Some of my brothers and sisters have been turn to zombies and lazy bums in search for miracles. Many have already resolved that their only hope for clean drinking water is to wait until they get to paradise in heaven. However, the lunatics among them are ready to go to paradise with bomb strap to their waist.
I believe God is listening to the prayers but the problem is the prayer request. For example, in Kikwete vs. Dr Slaa election, God make sure the right person won the election. I can not say for sure that God gave us Kikwete because he came through the same process like Mkapa . But, soon or later, what kingmakers did in dark of night will come to light.
