How the Berlin Conference Clung on Africa: What Africa Must Do

Somebody sent this on Kikwete


Tanzania's Kikwete is one of the most pathetic African leaders of our times. He is a peacetime leader for a country known to be one of the richest in the world in terms of natural resources, yet he leads the world with begging. Foreign companies have known Tanzania to be a free land in which you can go in and take all you can without being asked a question. I really don't get the mind set of its leaders especially their president Mr. Kikwete, a Muzungu worshiper.
Having worked with the UNDP in that country for 8 years, I realized how inefficient and corrupt the country's leadership is. His ministers that requested bribes from BAE have never been tried despite the damning evidence against them. British TAX payers must stop funding this man's corruption and foreign trips. His human rights record is horrible. Mr. Kikwete had no business of going to Davos to ask for foreign aid. Already his country is the world third leading foreign Aid dependent nation. He should be embarrassed to say to the world that people are poor. His people living "hand to mouth” is his own ignorance and stupidity.That is his own problem.
Brits are having their own problems he must realize that. We cant bankroll his foreign trips. He should make good use of his country's wealth. Instead of letting his corrupt officials and foreigners loot his country, he needs to think before letting himself be a global laughing stock. I read in one of the regional (Kenyan) publications the mockery nature related to his frequent foreign trips. Palestinian, Haiti, Lebanon, Somalia and even Rwanda economies are more robust than that of Tanzania. We must question the nations that welcome this "Joker's" request for AID. He needs to be on a "no-fly" list so he can be serious. Hopefully the billionaires questions what he has done with the Money he has received for decades. The Arab spring should turn into the African summer and get rid of the Kikwete likes.
Linda Croucher;
This man did not deserve to be a head of state. He has no credibility. How can a head of state be bribed suits? We must write Downing Street and our parliament, and let them know that Aid to some of these African countries ought to STOP. Nyerere, the founding president of Tanzania was a visionary even though his socialist policies failed, but he was a nationalist and a true patriot.
Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana have seen far and are on the roll to economic dependence. Kikwete, and his crony of ruling elites getting richer and richer. These people have no electricity yet the country has so many dams and rivers. There should be a policy to bar all corrupt leaders and their children from stepping into the EU. I don't blame Kikwete, i blame Tanzanians for letting this happen. They should be 100% responsible for their poverty and suffering. We just don't need them to come for Aid. We have many Brits out of work, and that money should pay for their Unemployment Benefit.
African problem is more than foreign aid. They are not ready for economic transformation. In Tanzania today, they have started the leadership inheritance in which the old guards passes on the torch to their children. We should not expect anything serious from African nations. If it means our money, lets cut it off. We have so many social problems to deal with people's own created misery because they will never have free elections without someone stuffing ballot boxes and ready to let the whole country in flames as long as they remain in power and their children in top American and British schools

The issue with Tanzania president is not a British issue or a global issue. It is a Tanzania voter's issue. They have let this man continue with corruption and impunity. Those in diplomatic circles especially in the US state department are privy of the matter and very disgusted with Kikwete. He is not a serious leader and the chatter in Washington about his endless lavish foreign trips is not flattering. He is an embarrassment to his country and African leaders.
He has literally sold his country and done nothing to combat corruption. Nepotism has risen; those in power ensures they slot in their children in sensitive positions before they retire. Currently, 15% of Tanzania government leadership is made of sons and daughters of those that once ruled or still in power.
I see Tanzania in the line of Tunisia and Egypt very soon, and won't lose sleep if this man is ousted, we just don't want him in America. UK, you can have him. Our cabinet secretaries take the subway (underground and over ground trains), their ministers in expensive land cruisers. Not with our tax dollars. I learned through secret channels that one of his associates transported a Range Rover in a cargo plane to Tanzania
Then go around and say “Hand to Mouth”???????? Comment from a whole president to his fellow world leaders? Can he ask himself why???
Davos main goal is to discuss Euro crisis not African problems and this president should have known that, because at the end of the day he will be leaving bare handed.

Siamini macho yangu kwa haya niliyoysoma hapa kwa hizi comment 5.Na maana ya kusema siamini macho yangu ni kutokna na kadhia yenyewe ilivyokuwa na umuhimu wa kupindukia ya kuwaonyesha watanzania-wadanganyika-kama navyotuita Mwalimu Mhango.Ama kweli sisi ni wadanganyika ambao ni vipofu,viziwi na mababu.ikiwa mtu wa nje na ambaye sio mwafrika anatulilia machozi kwa uchungu kuona nchi yetu inavyofisadiwa,kuibiwa na kuporwa na mafisi wa nje na wandani wakiongozwa na waliopo ndani ya ofisi tuliowaweka sisi wenyewe watanzania-mimi siwaiti wala kuwazingatia ni viongozi-kuanzia awamu ya pili hadi hii ya utumbo utumbo ya 4,eti bado kuna baadhi ya watanzania bado hawauoni ukweli huo mbele ya macho yao na kuendelea kubaki na akili mgando na kuendelea kuwa katika kuwa katika kundi la kuramba nyao na viatu wa hao wanaowazingatia kama ni viongozi wao.
Hii ni kadhia muhimu na wala kusingetakiwa kuwa na maandishi ya ukosefu wa nidhamu hoja mwenzio ni hoja hoja haijibiwi kamwe na matusi kujibu hoja kwa matusi ni dhahiri kwamba kilichongelewa ni cha kweli na haki na ukweli siku zote ni mchungu.

Anon wote nawashukuru kwa mchango wenu. Waliotukana nadhani wameonyesha wao ni nani na mawazo yao ni yapi na uwezo wao ni upi. Waliowaelewa nao nawashukuru kwani mmewasaidia. huenda siku nyingine watajifunza watumie lugha ya staha. Kwa sababu hapa hatugombani tunaeleimishana na kusaidiana. Cha msingi, tujibu hoja kwa hoja na kuthamini michango ya wenzetu.

Mwalimu Mhango futa hizo comments zenye matusi hapo juu. Hawa wanaotetea ufisadi yawezekana wakawa wao wenyewe au waliowatuma. Hatuhitaji matusi hapa.

Anon nakushukuru sema sitaondoa hizo comments ili kuepuka kuwapa nafasi watukanaji kuonyesha uhovyo wao. Nashukuru wengine wameliona hili na kuwajibu wahusika. Pia nimeona utoto wa anon wa kwanza alipojijibu haraka akiwa wa pili. Haiwezekani mtu aweke comment mwingine baada ya dakika moja aijibu kana kwamba walikuwa wamepanga. Huo ndiyo utoto niliuona na kuuongelea.
