Consider this: despite the fact that this Assembly consists of delegates who did not vie nor were we elected by citizens to be part of the Assembly, there is an interesting mix of delegates, albeit mostly favoring the powers that be. But who would have thought that someone as controversial as Reverend Mtikila will be part of this Assembly? Many delegates are uneasy and even fear Reverend Mtikila who has published his paper calling on the dissolution of the Assembly. Yet despite his avid stance on the revival of Tanganyika, Reverend Mtikila has taken the oath to be faithful to the United Republic. There are pastoralists, farmers, religious leaders and many others.
Huu ni ukweli tupende tusipende. Mara ngapi unasikia watu wanasema “Mtu anajiona wa maana kumbe anapanda daladala” . Au “Fulani anajisikia, kumbe anaishi ….” Sentensi kama hizi zinaonyesha wazi kwamba ili ukubalike kuwa una mafanikio katika jamii yetu tunatarajia mtu awe na gari na anaishi maeneo Fulani, akivaa nguo za aina Fulani nk. Kwa kifupi jamii yetu imebadilika na hivi sasa tumekuwa nchi ya walaji (Consumer society) ingawa kama nchi hatuzalishi kile tunachotamani (hatuna viwanda vya magari, nguo, nk).
