President Magufuli said he did not want bilateral aid complies with the conditions, titled 'bread mocking'. He stressed that Victor is your victory is better than eating cassava bread.
He stated this yesterday when he laid the foundation stone for the construction of the first road to the top (flyover), creates an intersection of Mandela and Nyerere area TAZARA Dar es Salaam. The road to the top is being built with funding from the Government of Japan. We congratulate the President for his statement that Magufuli about aid donor countries.
We say this because this is the first time for President Magufuli discuss aid from the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) of the United States, to withdraw support to the Government of Tanzania to US $ 472.8 million equivalent to almost one trillion shillings.
MCC halted such assistance on the grounds that the government has not taken steps to respect freedom of expression and freedom of association in the implementation of the Law of Criminal Network and also that the government did not take action regarding the choice of destination of Zanzibar, held on March 20, this year.
Tanzania claimed MCC Board continued with the choice of destination, which is to share with you all and not all ukuakisi opinion, despite complaints from the US government and the international community. These decisions should not have given to MCC, based on good relationships and long term between the United States and Tanzania.
These two nations have been collaborating in various fields, eg education and health for many years. MCC was necessary to be done and was continuing to talk with the government of Tanzania on those two issues and get clarification; instead of taking a sudden decision to suspend aid.
In addition, we are backed President Magufuli for his statement about the Government of Japan, that Japan is a true friend of Tanzania, as has been giving aid without conditions or threats, eg assistance building many roads in the country. Japanese Finance made it to their taxpayers.
For example in road construction that top constructed in areas set of TAZARA, Japan has provided money to taxpayers his billion shillings 93.44 and Tanzania has provided Sh 8.3 billion to make the project costing more than Sh 100 billion Generally speaking, we thank the very government of Japan and citizens his influences how the various projects of Tanzania.
We know most of the world countries are friends and Tanzania continued to have a relationship with them for many years. So we appeal to them with, follow the example of Japan to provide aid without conditions.
And if you had provided unconditional aid to Tanzania, then continue to do so. We remind donors that Tanzania does not need donors, who give aid and conditional alarming. Better than eating cassava bread kusimangwa.
