KIKWETE'S JUSTICE

President Jakaya Kikwete recently voiced sentiments on the Judiciary, which prompts us to invoke the Kiswahili word ‘Kimbilio’ as best capturing the importance to which many Tanzanians, and their compatriots in the East African regional fraternity, attach to an institution that is part of the three-part pillar of the State, alongside the Executive and the Legislature.

President Jakaya Kikwete recently voiced sentiments on the Judiciary, which prompts us to invoke the Kiswahili word ‘Kimbilio’ as best capturing the importance to which many Tanzanians, and their compatriots in the East African regional fraternity, attach to an institution that is part of the three-part pillar of the State, alongside the Executive and the Legislature.

The word represents the Judiciary as an institution to which people rush and invest trust for redress over offences committed against them, or for declaring who, between two or more people or entities locked in disputes, is right.

The reality is, that the Tanzanian judiciary is a heaving filthy mess of corruption and the second most corrpt institution in East Africa. So please let's stop the rhetorical clap trap and 'say it how it is' and not how it is suppossed to be and, certainly isn't in Tanzania and deal with the problem from the bottom up and not, the top down!
