Dar es Salaam – Sunday's dismissal of the Home Affairs Minister, Dr Mwigulu Nchemba, not only placed him at a crossroads, but also sparked lively debates in the public domain.
President John Magufuli dropped the minister who took the role in November 2016 in a mini-cabinet reshuffle that caught many people off guard.
Dr. Nchemba was forced to skip a prayer event in Kigoma it was done on television. The news immediately sparked broad speculation about the reasons for his dismissal, many commentators on social media insinuating that he paid the cost of escalating human rights violations under his rule. monitoring. Other people have expressed surprise that the deputy of Iramba and presidential candidate of the CCM in the 2015 general election has been abandoned despite a lively attempt to align and defend what he believed to be President Magufuli
. The numerous human rights violations, the suppression of the opposition parties by the police and the increase in cases of extrajudicial executions would cost him dearly because his boss apparently interested him. to something else.
On Monday, Dr. Magufuli had a long list of reasons why he dropped out of the minister, and the reasons were completely out of touch with those who were seen as failures of the minister.
Among the concerns raised by the president was the war against corruption, embezzlement of public funds, frequent road accidents and inability to solve problems affecting the uniformed personnel of the lower cadre of the ministry. Dr. Magufuli said that he was not impressed by the performance of the ministry leadership and blamed the minister (whom he did not name by name) for presiding over the rot in the file.
The President appointed Lugumi a forensic contract the police reportedly lost more than 30 billion shillings, the NIDA scandal, the suspicious importation of 700 police cars and trucks, suspicious police uniforms, frequent fatal road accidents and the issuance of work permits to foreigners.
The head of state did not mention anything about rights violations or the state of insecurity that preoccupied speculators.
So, did the former minister support the wrong horse when he vehemently defended acts of police impunity or killed him? when the public shouted for action in, for example, the assassination attempt of the deputy of Singida East Tundu Lissu, the killing of Kibiti s, the murder of Akwilini Akwilini, student at the 39, university, and the alleged killings of opposition activists? Many of these cases are still unresolved and no evidence of ongoing investigation.
The reality may have become overwhelming for the former minister who must now repackage to save the public trust that remains in its place.
That President Crack when Dr. Nchemba seemed to ignore public opinion and do everything possible to be in the good books of the President, this will serve as a lesson to always remain morally faithful and honest with others. wishes of the masses. It remains to be seen how the deputy of Iramba West reconciles his current situation with the political aspirations that he is hosting.
Dr. Nchemba was one of the CCM's aspirants to the presidency in 2015 and would be among the best-placed of the ruling party. executives when it comes to grassroots mobilization. His star shone when he was appointed deputy general secretary of the CCM for the mainland and was part of the team that campaigned for President Jakaya Kikwete during his last term and also played a key role in ensuring the success of Dr. Magufuli. his place in the cabinet with that of Mtama Nape Nnauye and the Minister of the Environment and Social Affairs Jan Makamba was seen as a reward for their respective roles in the victory of Dr. Magufuli in the face of an unprecedented attack of # 39; opposition. Edward Lowassa
Dr. Nchemba now joins Mr. Nnauye, who has scrambled with the President and is a fire-breathing backbencher. How he reacts to his cabinet victory at a time when the public opinion of his position seems to be very low remains to be seen.
The road ahead can be difficult to maneuver because the president has sent a strong signal that he will not tolerate any disagreement or challenge in the party where he is the almighty national president. Although he can still benefit from support and close ties, Dr. Nchemba remains an ordinary member of the CCM in the current mix of things.
The recent constitutional changes to the CCM designed by Dr. Magufuli mean that he has no important position to retain. Minister, he was not allowed to hold an official position. The sacking of the cabinet therefore means that it will remain without government or party powers.
An independent political analyst and other politicians believe that Dr. Nchemba is himself responsible for what happened to him. There are people like Zitto Kabwe, MP for Kigoma Urban, who kissed him while watching his influential backbench role, and others like Joshua Nassari, MP for Alumeru. East, who says Dr. Nchemba should suffer the political consequences He does not say that even the recent drama involving the government in the face of the Church, in which Dr. Nchemba has received praise for advancing a total war, would suffice to dissuade the voice against
Dr. Nchemba recently formed a team to investigate official letters sent to the Tanzanian Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELCT) and the Tanzanian Evangelical Conference (CET) at Easter and lent messages this year to the government.
Suspended the Registrar of Societies and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) Merlin Komba who signed the letter which attracted widespread criticism because he
Dr. Hellen Kijo Bisimba, Former Executive Director of the Law and Rights Center of the man (LHRC), said that the public should not stop or be arrested to question the performance of the former minister because some problems She says that is what is arrived at the former information minister, Nape Nauauye, who reminded him of his role in the ban on "Bunge live" and "hand-drop" broadcasts, often equated with electoral rigging. Professor George Shumbusho of Mzumbe University says that the president is the only one who knows why some people are appointed in certain positions and the reasons for their dismissal
"The president was charged with the right to appoint and to revoke. "The donation says that Dr. Nchemba's future political life will not be different from Nnauye's in defending the interests of his constituents as a deputy."
"There was no reason to believe. another choice than serving and advocating the development of his constituents unless he decides to remain silent while waiting for another appointment. "
