WHEN POLITICS TRICKS VOTERS AFTER POLL.
First comes first I would like to define Politics according
to the definition based on different communities , people says politics is
Holly Tricks , or sometimes they says Polltricks, as they pleased to explain
what exactly means of the politics within their way of understanding it, It
might be misinformed, well educated or judgmental ,heck of the definition but
who knows why such of definition comes in between of their aim of express what
it real is.
According to Wikipedia , it simply define Politics as the
practice and theory of influencing other people on global , civic or individual
level. More narrowly, it refers to achieving and exercising positions of
governance – organized control over human community, particularly a state.
Here is where I check my headline “ When Politics tricks
voters after poll ’’ Reason behind all of this article is when I was updated
with former Minister of Lands, Housing and Human Settlement whom she was
recently been sacked by the President of United Republic of Tanzania, Dr Jakaya
M. Kikwete for Escrow scandalous. Prof. Anna Tibaijuka whom in personal I first
heard her name from my uncle back in early 90’s whom was A student of University
of Dar es salaam , Mr. Norbert Kabila, this uncle of mine once told us while we
were watching news in my early teenage,claimed that Prof Tibaijuka as her excellent
lecturer at UDSM, that’s when I first heard that name and grew up feeling like I
know her in personal.
Well this lady whom originally comes from Muleba located in
Kagera Region, as she is member of Parliament represents Muleba South, she is
Professor of Economic, and first African woman in African continent to be
elected by by the United Nation General Assembly as Under-Secretary General of
United Nation Programme. Yesterday she has been quoted by Radio One Stereo said
something which arouse my attention to writing this article, She said “
Government of United Republic of Tanzania, should rethink of exchanging system
under National Assembly of Tanzania onward selecting Members of Parliament whom
have been elected by the voters to becomes Ministers at the same time working as Members
of Parliament. That quietly seems to overwork them with governance activities,
rather than work on their responsibilities regards regions which its
voters voted for them to represent their problems to the government ’’
Well, I one hundred percent agree with that strong quotation
from Prof. Anna Tibaijuka, first for her honesty speaking, that she addressed
towards the government. Throughout those words I sensed there are two different characters which these people plays, I mean Government officers and Members of Parliaments , whom I would like to call them “ Servants of the people ”. One character they play
from within is being Politician, and another one is being A leader. Since I
explained earlier about what it takes to be in politics, let me abit add more
about Politicians.
Politician is simply A person who practice and theory of
influencing other people on global , civic or individual level to achieving and
exercising positions of governance , whom help to organized control over human
community, particularly a state. Through this definition I sensed something , these politicians at some point they are anti-people. They
be like that when they fail to pursue their responsibilities towards these
people ( citizens ) as they need to organize full control over their
communities . When Wikipedia said full control at first place I didn’t see
armies, police forces, etc then I looked over it a bit closer I could even see
the full control that politicians need to acquire towards state and its
citizens which is LYING ON THEM .
I hate to say all politicians are liars, but I may be fair
enough to say almost all politicians are the best people to tell the truth from
different types of lies. Politicians they meet half way qualification of
leadership, which they should learn to be one of their main responsibilities
before they went across the streets to seduces citizens to vote for them.
Politicians use all of their beautiful lies whenever they preach
on them citizens, when holly politics preached on these believer as citizens ,
they become intoxicated of believing in Politician by confusing them with
leaders. A politician fails to pursue his responsibility of become A leader
caused by the mission and vision of their parties. As we all know most of the
missions of political parties is to form the government for particular state
aim to take full control of the citizens with their communities.
Most of the states formed with the patriotics who
named as Statemen, like here in United
Republic of Tanzania, our stateman was known Mwalimu Julius Kambarage
Nyerere. Almost all of the statemen they were leaders before acquired the
states, they didn’t know how to proceed with something like Politics, which it
always changes meaning accordingly with the situation going on globally, Politics
manipulates people and their belongings, it sort of weapon used well in
neo-colonialism. Politics make their Politicians go to cold wars with leaders,
A leader cant switch to be politician, but A politician can switch well to
become A leader , as they can hide themselves from leadership umbrella to the presences of their voters. When Politicians seek voters to vote
for them they always goes with the presences of leadership, community
organizer, servant of the people and all sweet things which will trickery
voters to believe this is the type of the leader they should vote for,
unfortunately many citizens fails to understand the man standing towards them
is the politician who hide his identity with the mask of leadership.
You might wonder difference in between leaders and
politicians, I believe these two type of people are different in almost
everything, Most of the leaders are self committed , by expressing
things which leading them to where they wish to reach for the benefits of the
ones whom are following them from behind. Most of the leaders do things which
which always leaves their legacy even when they dead gone, Leaders are self
committed . Politicians are not servants of the people as leaders , Politicians
are servants of their political parties though sometimes you may find A lizard
on the marching of alligators, sometimes you may find A leader in politics but
it always hard to tell how he will be able to handle pressure of different
forces , forces of the people he supposed to be served for and enforcement from
his political party which acquire him to do as what his party acquire him to do
“ taking full control of the people and their communities ’’.
And most of these type of Poli-leaders , I meant politicians
whom are leaders from within end up being assassinated because of their inner
voice of leadership, unfortunately at the wrong place or wrong type of people
whom chosen him/her to do what they suppose to do. You can take an example of the
Kennedy brothers ( United States Of America, President and his young brother
) Abraham Lincoln, Patrice
Lumumba, Bhutto family members, Muamar Qaddafi etc.
So I would like to let whoever have chance of reading this
article, to think clear of what sort of grip did you got right after I
explained accordingly with my point of views regards politics, leadership,
quote of Prof. Anna Tibaijuka , as she being sacked from her position of
Minister of Lands etc, what sort of drift you got from her statement? Which
position she was playing in between the government, her party, community etc
? and what you do think of leaders
and politicians roles towards you as citizen or fellow member of this
community? Don’t hesitate to write me your suggestions, disagree, agree,
educate or update what I did or didn’t n’t well explained.
