    Media freedom and individual rights in Tanzania at crossroads
    Some people enjoy an unfolding scandal while others love a fight. This explains why newspapers that specialise on affairs of the rich and famous sell like hot cake and the Spanish adore bullfighters. When bigwigs with clout, money, media or real estate come out with guns blazing, people love it.

    Let us get rid of parliament before next general election
    I like the proposed pay package for members of parliament (MPs) that has earned the wrath of all and sundry in recent days. Given half a chance many Bongo lads would run for parliament. The position of an MP seems more prestigious and lucrative than being a don at a leading university or a

    Traders fleecing Tanzanians like Merino sheep
    You are on a bus christened Air Express heading to your ancestral land near Mount Kilimanjaro. You have been making fast progress, so fast that when you reach Moshi, you and fellow passengers may award the driver a medal for being the fastest driver in East Africa. His driving can make

    Somalia's unending war requires external intervention force
    IT is a hot, dusty and stuffy afternoon which is typical weather in this part of Africa. A car bomb has just exploded killing and wounding dozens. The cries of some of the wounded can still be heard from hundreds of feet away. Those with serious life-threatening wounds hardly make a sound. There

    Bitter love prevention better than sweet cure
    They say attack is the best form of defence. A tactical commander leading his troops on a dawn flanking attack against unsuspecting enemy can achieve sweet victory and a promotion to higher rank. In court, a lawyer can use attack as a weapon to disarm a key witness or rattle a cool defendant into

    When love flies through the window anger can reign supreme
    It is past nine o'clock in the morning. The man or woman you married is still in bed, fast asleep. It is a frustrating routine that has been going on for a few months, maybe years. At this moment, the love of your life does not know yet if you are alive or dead. You could have suffered a heart

    Country of whiners cannot survive the 21st century
    This recent story about a fishing vessel caught in our national or international waters, carrying about 250 metric of tonnes of fish on board, gives some of us a lot of food for thought. Easter is just around the corner and the faithful remember how Prophet Issa bin Mariam fed thousands of people

    Recapturing fast disappearing Easter spirit in Tanzania
    SOMEONE once asked if I would like to live in America. Me? No way. I don't hate America. No sir. I love the flashing neon lights of Dallas, the forests of intertwined highways connecting cities, the mountain-high skyscrapers of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington and other cities.

    Dowans generators are Kalumekenge type management

    Yes we can make the East African Community viable
    There is this song by the late Mbaraka Mwinshehe in which he laments how dissatisfied uncles turned sour and demanded the wedding of their niece be postponed. In the end the wedding was put off for good. 'Harusi imevunjika' was how this former top soloist of Tanzania put it. There are signs
