I have Reasons to remain Skeptical about President Magufuli
I have
always been a Magufuli skeptic since before he was given the CCM ticket to run
for president. Somehow he made it through amid serious flaws in the CCM
selection of the candidate and later made through to the presidency amid serious
electoral malpractices. For instance, amid donor adulation for Magufuli’s
action on corruption, his government received little international flak over
the deeply flawed election process in Zanzibar, where the ruling CCM canceled
the poll when it became clear it was not going to win. It was illegal and
illegitimate an act done with alarming CCM impunity and with the involvement of
the military - it was an electoral coup- that none seems to talk about. But
what is more worrying is that Magufuli’s so called reformist drive is fast
taking an autocratic turn in Tanzania.
