Unfortunately the same treatment is rarely given to Wananchi. http://conscious-revolution.blogspot.com It is great to see that Kikwete is taking the time to talk to outsiders about his real feelings on development.

Why is there no criticism to the president's speech so far? mmmh I wonder. I will keep my eyes peeled!

It is high time that Africans realize that the west and indeed the world does not owe them anything. Africans must own their problems and learn to resolve them. However, the president should have at least commented on the culture of leadership irresponsibility. The African leaders including himself should hold their predecessors accountable for their past recklessness. If they do not do so, how are we going to be sure thay he himself has grown out of the dictatorship and spin? while journalists, NGO's and the independent sectors tell the leadership what they exactly want to hear, the reality on the ground is different. President Kikwete, time for rhetotic is up, we need to see consistent action before we believe in your speech. Thank you Bongo Man Well done president Kikwete.
