After
evidencing some mega-con artists being hauled before the court and being in the
doghouse, Tanzanians were in the Va-va-voom like mood waiting to see more
following suit. The other day when I was swallowing offal and kanywaji, I heard
some boozers–of course, after being turbocharged with kanywaji–saying that what
they’re evidencing is but the beginning of the end of impunity. Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin. After
hollering at the top of their lungs about Escrew to no avail, boozers were enchanted
to see, at last, justice creeping and closing in to those bêtes noirs.
We bin-Adams are complicated creatures,
especially boozers. Guess what. While some were having a good time, others were
scorning them saying that what’s going on is firefighting-like exercise if not nguvu ya soda. Utter moonshine! They
said that they’ll endorse the whole exercise shall they see criminals behind
EPA, Dowans, Symbionsis, Kagoda, UDA, SUKITA, Richmonduli and other mega scams
are mercilessly dealt with. The other
one that we call an opponent said that what boozers call justice isn’t but
selective one. The other one added that selective justice isn’t justice but
another form of injustice and travesty of justice. We need to learn from past
experience from some gawks that allowed their countries to be abused by any
quack. Tanzania was once like that. Any quack or gawk would make a killing
without necessarily facing the wrath of the law while our people were just
gawking instead of agitating.
My ignorance informed that those fearless
boozers would end up the above mentioned scams. What a goof! I didn’t know that
they’d touch on the untouchable scapegraces the powers that be said: must be
left to retire and eat our dosh peacefully even if some don’t deserve it due to
the disservice they did. I goofed thinking that such boozers would fear that
talking about such archangels would guarantee some years behind bars. I
cautioned them not to touch the untouchables. As the fate would have it, the opponent
told me to my face saying “sir, if you’ve been compromised by receiving sum
hush-hush baksheesh forget.” He staggeredly stood up and came to my table and
said “don’t think you can intimidate us like the news people whose outfits were
banned. Nobody can ban me. Am I registered anywhere in this unforgiving
land?” Before he finished, another one
chipped in “go tell Dr. Mwakirazor; he can ban those but not the son of gun.” He
sneezed and went on “do you think we’re afraid of naming names? Do you think we’ve forgotten Annie and Bennie
or ANBEN, Forster and Nick or Fosnik, Deep Green Finance, Kiwila, TICKS aka
TICTS and other scams those ogres engineered?”
As I was prepared myself to run away after
noticing that these fyatus could attract cops to come and descend on us,
another one added “guys, what’s going on is laughable. How do you arrest
monkeys and spare chimps or kill lizards and spare gators? Total malarkey!” Before winding up, I chipped
in “what unthankful creatures that you are! Can’t you appreciate this move as
you wait to see yet more to come as far as cleansing the house is concerned?
Who bewitched you?”
He mordantly replied “who’s bewitched between
bootlickers, courtiers, major domos and me? FYI: This piece of land’s equally
ours. Therefore, whoever wants to make sense must make sure that justice’s done;
and be seen done but not selective justice.”
In a nutshell, though boozers have no open or
registered media–that is good to target for those prone of burning the media–to
disseminate their grievance, they’d, indeed, want to see more being done. They
think; what’s going on is more or less of the firefighting but not a surgical
move to root out corruption in their land. To convince and entice them, one
needs to use a carpet-bombing modus
operandi by making sure that the nets are cast far and wide but neither discriminative
nor selective as it seems currently. Swahili sage’s it when you want to kill a
monkey, never look it in its face. Just unselectively hammer it to death be it
big or little; just crucify it.
