Dar es Salaam. When he inaugurated the 11th Parliament in Dodoma in November 2015, President John Magufuli was categorical that time has come for Tanzanians to walk the talk.
With an apparent seriousness on his face and voice, the newly elected President vowed to confront mega corruption, fight embezzlement of funds in the local government, fixing poor management and sheer waste of public resources.
He promised to protect natural wealth and end bureaucracy in government offices by, among other measures, forming a special court to try graft cases. His pledge was to run the economy that would create opportunities for the youth and reduce the growing gap between the rich and the poor.
The president committed himself to overhauling the mining sec-tor for the good of all Tanzanians, double health budget, increase revenue collection and seal all the loopholes of corruption in the energy sector.
Today, President Magufuli has the number to measure his success or failures.Dissolving the Parliament yesterday, the head of state used nearly two hours of his speech to narrate in numbers huge success his administration has recorded during the past five years.

He told the Parliament amid thunderous cheers it was encouraging that Tanzania remained unit-ed despite differences in people’s tribes, religious and political inclinations.

“We came to power at a time when there were killings in Kibiti but our security men worked hard and contained them…In five years, the government has worked hard to bring discipline in public service. Those who went against our directives were disciplined, including being fired, demoted, salary reduc-tions or warnings,” he said.
