A number of issues need to be carefully and seriously addressed before the recruitment youths into the programme envisaged, which is expected to involve both males and females,” added the ruling party stalwart. Ngombale-Mwiru also cited some of the issues to be seriously considered before the resumption of the NS recruitment drive as the impact of HIV/Aids, moral decay, economic crisis and globalisation generally. He recommended that the programme, halted a decade ago and expected to resume in the 2010/11 financial year, was previously framed in such a way that it used to make Tanzanian youths have self-imposed discipline and demonstrate exemplary patriotism. “National Service makes youths value and practise patriotism and work for the nation’s interests...That spirit is currently conspicuously absent,” he said.

Ndipo ilipotelekezwa barabarani, “Mimi nimefiwa na mtoto wangu Emmanuel Magige, jana tuliambiwa asubuhi ndio tutachukua miili ya watu wetu tukazike sasa tumeamka tunaambiwa eti polisi walichukua marehemu wamekwenda kuwatupa porini na sisi tuko hapa Tarime...” - mzee Magige Ghati, baba wa mmoja wa marehemu.
