LETTERS NRM owes Uganda peaceful transition
SHARE BOOKMARK PRINT RATING By Watiti Masokoyih Posted Thursday, July 16 2015 at 01:00 SHARE THIS STORY 0 in Share In 1986, a new government was formed in Kampala under the leadership of Yoweri Museveni as president. The above information is, of course, public knowledge, but I bring it up in relation to the political situation in Tanzania. I tend to believe that the NRM is a mass national political organisation, similar to Tanzania’s Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), which has ruled that country since 1961. Yet as far as political organisation and transition is concerned, CCM has consistently got it right from Julius Nyerere, Ali Hassan Mwinyi, Benjamin Mkapa to Jakaya Kikwete and now John Pombe Magufuli! The last one is the name of CCM’s presidential flag bearer for the coming elections. The “queue dynamics” in our own NRM has only yielded bitter fallouts! How could we have got it so wrong? The NRM and it’s predecessor, the FRONASA, was idealogically borne in Tanzania. Surely, the NRM owe us an orderly political transition.
