The Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) Permanent Member of the Central Committee, Mr John Malacela has warned people to be aware of those accusing the party of indecent conduct, saying such accusations were hasty generalisation.Mr Malecela acknowledged that in recent days some members of the party have been accused to have been involved in theft and graft, but he warned that it should not be generalized for all CCM members. “It is true that we have some leaders who have been accused of such acts, but it should also be noted that it is the same CCM government that has taken the accused to justice.
Our government will make sure that legal actions are taken against all those involved despite their positions,” assured Mr Malecela. The retired Prime Minister was speaking to hundreds of Ihango ward residents at a rally to campaign for the party’s Mbeya rural constituency aspirant, Rev Luckson M
wanjale. The rally was held at Idimi village, on Friday.
Mr Malacela said that it would not be fair if he too generalized that all Mbeya region residents were involved in skinning people, while it was obvious that only few members of the region committed the heinous crime. “Saints are in heaven, here we are only humans, all sorts of people with different characteristics, so one bad person should not make all bad,” said Mr Malecela.
Mr Malecela, who is also retired CCM Deputy Chairperson (Mainland) appealed to the people not to listen to anyone else after the meeting, and just wait to go to the voting polls on the 25 January. “Some people will come here to tell you lies like ‘the election is postponed,’. Do not listen to them, just guard your voting registration card and wait for the 25th to cast your vote for Mwanjale,” he said.
CCM candidate Rev Mwanjale assured the voters of his commitment to bring about development in the constituency, which was left open in November last year due to the death of CCM MP, the late Richard Nyaulawa. “The late Nyaulawa did a lot of development work, and some of that work is yet to be finished. It shoud be a candidate from CCM to finish up the good work.
I am the person to do that,” he assured them. Rev Mwanjale cautioned the voters, saying that the candidates of opposition parties only visit them during elections. He added that it was CCM which was always there, even when it was not election time. “We are here at all times, so do not waste your votes to the opposition, vote for the winning party, CCM,” he said.
Speaking earlier, the CCM Deputy Head for Propaganda Department, Mr Tambwe Hiza told the voters not to vote for Civic United Front, the ruling party’s main opponent in the election, saying that CUF had been stagnant since its establishment. “Do not let them cheat you. I know the party inside out. I was one of the party’s top national leaders for nine years.
The biggest mistake they made was to have it based in Zanzibar as you can see. All those who come here to promote their candidate are from Zanzibar,” he said. Mr Hiza added, “I know we will win this election, because I have seen many CCM members, who promised to go to the polls and vote for our candidate on the voting day.” Three parties are participating in the Mbeya rural by-elections, whereby CUF is represented by a retired TTCL engineer, Mr David Mpozi while, the Sauti ya Umma (SAU) party is represented by the only woman candidate, Ms Subi Mwakipiki.
