A heated debate has recently arisen in Tanzania following the
PM comment whilst he was replying the prompt questions in the
Parliament concerning the status of Zanzibar in Tanzania.
The PM stated and insisted that Zanzibar is not a country but
a county a claim, which was disputed by Tanzania opposition Camp
inside the Parliament and Ruling party MPs especial from Zanzibar
who claimed that Zanzibar has never lost its sovereignty after the
union of 1964 and it was Tanganyika who lost its statehood.
The Tanzania Prime minister insisted that he has never made
mistake in his speech about the status of Zanzibar led the
emergence of throwing words between Zanzibar and Mainland MPs for
about 2 months whereas each side claim that they are right by
giving different examples,
Zanzibar support their Statehood by saying that Nyerere has
never mentioned in the Union that Zanzibar lost its sovereignty and
that was the reason Zanzibar has its own legislatives, executive,
president as well as Flag on the other hand the Government of
Zanzibar remained intact during the collapse and the formation of
the Tanzanian government recently,
whilst Mainland MPs insisted that Tanzania is one and
Zanzibar is semiautonomous which lost its sovereignty as did
Tanganyika government which was inserted inside the Union
Government after the formation of the United Republic of Tanzania
in 1964.
Tanzania president Hon.KIKWETE a.k.a (JK) has added a fuel to
the fire during his briefing in the Parliament by differed his
speech with the PM. Pinda while he mentioned three times "the
country of ZANZIBAR" on the other hand he talked about TANZANIA
international which is one and locally which comprise of the fully
autonomous of Zanzibar and Tanganyika status inside the union.
His speech was well welcomed by opposition MPs in both side
by recognizing the status of Zanzibar statehood and the existence
of Tanganyika government inside the union although the word
TANGANYIKA is useless at present but political analyzers has risen
a doubt about his speech when he stated its existence whether the
Government of the United Republic of Tanzania itself is Tanganyika
Government and emerge the new image of two government of Zanzibar
and Tanganyika and rather then Zanzibar government and the union
Government.
According to President speech which differ from the PM`s one,
it rose a question of accountability in the ruling party, do you
think some leaders in CCM take their own decisions and that is why
there is differences in their speech? or Political views led them
to go against the party policies and if not why all this happening
inside CCM and rarely if not never in the Opposition Parties?
