Uongozi Wetu na Hatima ya Tanzania
First published in 1994, Uongozi Wetu na Hatima ya Tanzania deals
with many serious problems facing Tanzanians then, mainly focusing on
issues related to the Union – the integrity and stability of The United
Republic of Tanzania. Specifically, the book discusses the
challenges to the Union’s existence which arose as a consequence of a
series of unchallenged actions of doubtful validity under the Union
Constitution, which actions are even in direct contravention of the said
Constitution; and the failure of the Union leadership to deal honestly,
straightforwardly and firmly, with these matters.
Uongozi Wetu na Hatima ya Tanzania
explains the reasons for the original decision to establish a Two
Government structure, emphasizing that, on 26th April 1964, two
independent African states surrendered their sovereignty to one New
Country – The United Republic of Tanzania and signed a Union Agreement
to that effect. This was open-access for Tanganyika, which reserved no
autonomy, so that from then onwards it neither has nor has have any
separate government. It was equally open-access of Zanzibar, which does have a
separate government with powers to deal with all those matters relating
to Zanzibar which were not (then and since) transferred to the Union
Government.
