Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Dar es Salaam.<\/b><\/p>\n

As the Tanzania Episcopal Conference (TEC) clarified its advice to President Samia Suluhu Hassan on the need to promote good governance and build strong institutions during her leadership, experts yesterday reacted on the call.<\/p>\n

Reading a speech during President Hassan\u2019s meeting with the TEC bishops on Friday, the clerics\u2019 leader Archbishop Gervas Nyaisonga advised the Head of State to promote the two values during her leadership. \u201cWe would like to request you to strengthen good governance and build strong democratic institutions that are the strong pillars of good governance,\u201d read Archbishop Nyaisonga from his speech.<\/p>\n

Yesterday TEC secretary general Charles Kitima clarified that the statement aimed at increasing citizen\u2019s involvement in governing their country as per Article 8 of the country\u2019s Constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cCitizens are the ones with sovereignty, therefore building strong institutions that are transparent and provide authorities to people will promote proper governance of the country,\u201d he told The Citizen over the phone.<\/p>\n

He said separation of power among the Executive, Parliament and the Judiciary should promote their independence and that decisions made by the three should be received undoubted.<\/p>\n

According to him, since Tanzania was a multiparty democracy, it was not right to have a Parliament dominated by legislators from one party, saying proper treatment to all political parties wouldn\u2019t allow that to happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cCapacity building should be done for all political parties in order to enable citizens with ambitions to build the country through political positions to realize their dreams,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cWe need strong political parties, but most importantly, involvement of citizens in leading the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, the bishops\u2019 call also aimed to remind the government on significance of timely dispensing of justice, saying there were hopes for reinstatement of democracy in the country.<\/p>\n

Ms Rose Mwakitwange of the Vuguvugu la Katiba (Vuka) said Tanzanians needed to stand firm and prevent individualization and that the presidency should remain an institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody assuming the top office shouldn\u2019t take us back to individualism. That\u2019s how Kenyans and the US succeeded,\u201d she argued, adding: \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m putting emphasis on the need for a people centred-constitution that will be the guiding principle for providing the country with strong systems and institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, she said new constitution will need to be made a covenant to prevent arbitrary violations, calling on Tanzanians to get unite and demand for the document.<\/p>\n

But, a lecturer at the University of Iringa (UoI), Dr Frank Kimaro, said Tanzania already has institutions, although their strength depended on the person in power.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstitutions are the ones helping the President in appointing different leaders. However, there are times the President does the job individually,\u201d he said, adding.<\/p>\n

\u201cEx-President John Magufuli stood as a strong individual, but this weakens institutions because an individual will be making all decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, empowered institutions supervise everything including strong individuals existing in the country.<\/p>\n

Mr Kimaro said strong individuals and institutions rarely co-exist because while strong individual could promote crime and embezzlement, the later prevented.<\/p>\n

Addressing the Ghanaian parliament on July 11, 2009, then US President Barack Obama said: \u201cBut history offers a clear verdict: Governments that respect the will of their own people, that govern by consent and not coercion, are more prosperous, they are more stable, and more successful than governments that do not.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is about more than just holding elections. It\u2019s also about what happens between elections.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
