When President Jake Kiquette cloned, sorry, crowned Saada Mkuya Salum new Minister of Dosh and ulaji in his the recent shake up of his line up many goofed. They thought there’d be some changes. Go figure. Who wants changes that can change his ulaji in the first place? Why changes in lieu of biz as usual especially in Bongo-lala-land? I got wind of it priorly. Thus, boozers and I were not among those who expected big things coming our way. Indeed, we’re dead right. For, the first day the good lady faced the media just showed what she’s appointed to do. Everybody’s left baffled with disbelief. Guess what. When the good lady spoke, she just defended the power that- be that it’d keep on borrowing so much so that the national debt could become fat and prove to the world that our hunk is loanable.
Just on her maiden day in the office as a full minister, Mkuya dropped a bombshell tidbit for the govt. She defended it saying it still has a room for borrowing due to the fact that up till now it’s only spent 24% of its ability to borrow which is 50% of the whole debit.
Gosh! Many thought that the big girl should have come with some new strategies of putting a stop on megalomaniac borrowing to no avail. I heard one boozer saying that if he were her, his first priorities would have been to collect more revenues and avoid all tax exemptions investors have always enjoyed in order to increase our income and cut down our expenditure. I told the boozer that he were not her and will nary be till he kicks the bucket. Again, should we blame the good lady for doing exactly what she’s appointed to do especially at this moment we’re heading for general elections that need a lot of dosh ala EPA?
Why shouldn't we holler at her? Prof Ibra Lipumba has the answer. He says, “I have nothing personal against Ms Mkuya or women but to be frankly I saw her CV in the parliament’s website; she isn't a right person to lead such an important ministry finance ministry.”
Many wrongly thought that hardship they face after prices go up quite often, soaring inflation and our Schillings’ free fall would piss off the good lady. Nay! That’s not her biz. She’s there to do what her boss told and appointed her to do. Mkuya’s approach eventuated into allegations that Kiquette brought back the same mizigo to be seen as true. I, for one, had already registered my doubt especially when I quizzed the lady’s eyebrow- raising CV.
Those of us who care more about our hunk thought: the good lady would have taken on municipal and local governments to see to it that they stop swindling our monies. CAG’s always unearthed a lot of theft perpetrated by venal servants in these govts. Again, who cares if everybody eats where she or he’s?
I feel sorry for those who admonished the govt to stop borrowing for consumption or investing in make-believe projects geared by ten percent instead of economic viability. Guys, mnataka wale polisi?
I heard other boozers complaining that the move by Jake to appoint Mwigu Michembe deputy Minister of dosh aims at creating yet another EPA. I just told him to go to hell. Where does he think the bullying outfit will get dosh from?
The other one’s complaining that much of the dosh we borrow ends up paying bigwigs’ sitting and lying allowances, seminars and trips abroad and other hanky panky. Well, dosh is always meant to be spent.
Given that I sometimes serve as boozers’ astrologer, I must predict. Guys, get ready to evidence more stuff such as soaring inflation after the next uchakachuaji. Try to remember what happened in 1995 and 2005 after elections. Your dafu schilling cascades every time after elections thanks to spending much dosh in campaigning and obtaining votes.
Little bird confided me the other day that the govt spends more than it collects and it does not bother. It spends and spends and spends knowingly that boozers will foot the bill one day if not their offspring many years to come. The other day I heard some fyatu complaining that our bigwigs travel abroad quite often ala Vasco da Gama. Well, well, why shouldn't they if at all they’re not going to pay as Jake once said that the debt won’t be paid under his watch. Knowing that this is the reality, Jake’s always allowed many joy makers to accompany him almost everywhere he goes. To avoid boozers’ noises, nowadays, the media doesn't divulge the names of those who accompany the big man in his oft tours ughaibuni.
Again, if I were Mkuya at least I ‘d have duped gibbers promising I’d re-examine all privatized firms such as UDA to see to it that I retrieve some dosh many thieves got away with in this broad daylight theft. Again, who wants to touch the tails of the bigwigs?
Knowing how our “eaters” eat, expect nothing from the good lady except to be eaten as usual. Seriously, you can’t be serious Mkuya to defend borrowing crime.

Mkuya wouldn't know monetary policy if it fell onto her face. To be fair, neither does the man who appointed her. But he is quite astute in looting and plundering, and that is why he put her there in the first place. Woe betide Tanzania, cause I can foresee another ten years of an illegally installed government.
You're dead right Jaribu. The beautiful and handsome girl knows one thing, plunder to enable CCM to win. As I said, another EPA is in the making. Once my prediction becomes true you'll remind me that I said it.
