Out with the old and in with the new

It is always nice to hear that Issa Shivji, my old buddy from the University of Dar es Salaam, still has his finger on the nation's pulse...a little message to Issa... in addition to having a "national consensus" it might also be nice if we had free and fair elections so that the real winners of Presidential elections get to become President. I am obviously referring to the Jakaya Kikwete affair back in 1995 whence he was "narrowly defeated by Mkapa in the primaries". We all know what really happened, so out with the old Shetani Politics and in with the new.
