‘Lioness of Tanzania' is devouring its own children
Tanzanian riot police disperse demonstrators during violent protests that marred the election following the disqualification of the two leading opposition candidates in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, October 29, 2025.
Larger-than-life • The increasing number of people scrambling to visit ODM founding leader Raila Odinga’s grave in his Bondo home in Siaya County just confirms that he was, indeed, an enigma, says Joseph Macharia. “It's obvious that Raila will continue to highly influence and shape the country’s politics, especially the next General Election in 2027, from his grave.” His contact is [email protected].

Stable leadership • Respecting leaders in government, the church and other faiths, schools, and communities is the way to enhance stability, says Pamilla Mugure Mbotela. “Leadership thrives in wisdom, humility, and unity. Even when we disagree, let’s correct any wrongs with love. Respect builds peace, inspires accountability, and boosts national progress.” Her email address is [email protected].

Unmasking innocence • Though suspects are innocent until proven guilty, Chris Kiriba feels they shouldn't be allowed to cover their faces while in court. “There is this new trend of people wearing face masks. Because they are merely suspects, there is no shame in showing their faces unless they have actually committed those crimes that they have been charged with.” His contact is [email protected].

A question of power • Is the “power shedding in Dubai”, which President William Ruto recently spoke about really genuine?” wonders Sam Ogolla. “Ethiopia has more electricity than they can use, and power is a utility that is paid for directly by the consumer. Why can't Kenya import as much power as it wants from Ethiopia? I swear there is something fishy about this!” His contact is [email protected].

Taming the lioness • The self-declared 'Lioness of Tanzania', Samia Suluhu Hassan, is devouring its own children and their parents and needs to be contained, says Wamahiu Muya. “This is the country that helped to liberate southern Africa from apartheid and Portuguese colonialism and liberated Uganda from dictator Idi Amin. Tragically, the lioness has no respect for human rights.” His contact is [email protected].
