I empathize with you, Mzee Warioba. Our union is indeed cumbersome. We have a situation where Members of Parliament (MPs) from Zanzibar make laws in Dodoma that will never affect them or even the people of Zanzibar in any way.
For example, Zanzibari MPs participate in discussions and budget allocations for Health, TAMISEMI, Agriculture, and other sectors specific to Tanganyika, yet the ministers responsible for these offices do not operate in Zanzibar.
This means that the MPs from Zanzibar create laws that do not impact them. It's unfair to make laws that don't affect you.
May be “it would be more fitting to have representatives from Tanganyika making laws in Baraza la Wawakilishi.” Let's reciprocate. Otherwise, MPs from Zanzibar should recuse themselves from Dodoma when discussing issues that only apply to Tanganyika.
Our union is indeed very cumbersome, and it takes courage to acknowledge that there is a problem, discuss it openly, and start finding solutions.
We need to have an open conversation about our union and address its challenges.
