this is one of those dumb statements i come across and i always wonder whether people just regurgitate stuff they have heard or been told. how would you expect them to offer solutions when they are not in government? by starting their own police force for example? or having a second government?
@Mkenyan, agreed. I have come to believe most people who try hard to advance @tycho's reasoning are usually tribal apologists struggling to excuse the inexcusable. Only the government has the instruments and resources to fight corruption and offer solutions to other existing ills. All others are really extraneous and their contribution or lack of it has only minimal weight.
Good commentary
here Quote:
If President Kenyatta one morning went to Pumwani Maternity Hospital, sat down in a ward, sacked incompetent and corrupt workers, and said he was not leaving until the place was crisped up, he would set off a revolution.
I don't think having a rambo type president is a good thing, because the same people cheering on magufuli will very soon be calling him a dictator, just as they are doing to Kagame.
But honestly if as a president you can not find someone in your team capable of cleaning up streets and running maternity hospitals you are not cut for the presidency and you are just dragging the country back.
