MBOWE: Politics has greatly affected my family to a great extent.

SHORT STORY

We recently saw how Mbowe met with his key partner, Dr Lilian Mtei in extreme weather and government problems and after that they were discovered in the mid-1990s.

However, Mbowe in a meeting chaired and led by Tundu Lissu and Nadj Khamis, called 'Remaining strong With Tundu Lissu, wants that when he came to take a political course, one of his priorities had nothing to do with political exercise.

"I have been to Chadema as a writer and moreover as a young person who helped at the station. My best part is not a government official, he is a very good researcher.

Indeed, Elder Mtei (his father) and I have only agreed on policy matters, "he said, adding that his relationship with his key partner, Dr Lilian, did not depend on policy-related issues.

Explaining how he became the third director of the party after Edwin Mtei and Bob Makani, Mbowe said he had never applied for the chairmanship.

"In 2004 when I was the third manager after Elder Bob Makani, they introduced me to people from a very focused, diverse group of advisers who gathered the elders and said the rally should be given to Mbowe.

In 2004 when I was in charge for the third time, "he explained.

He says they nominated him based on his experience and his commitment to the circle. Yet, he goes on to say that before putting up with them, he gave them a hard time.

1. The main condition I have advised is to make great progress in our circle,

"The next condition is that Dr. Willibord Slaa (now a Tanzanian Baptist in Sweden) will be the general secretary of the circle," he said.

He said he married on the condition that at that time the secretary-general was elected by the general party.

"He says the vote-based system is acceptable but I can see that it was difficult to find political entertainment in broader conclusions. That is why I needed this structure to be changed, because one has to be held firmly in place by the will, but there is no democracy," he said.

Before he became a manager, he says he started building a circle that seemed sleepy.

"We went to college to look for applicants who could pioneer. I started the development as the head of four members of Parliament including myself, Dr Slaa, Philemon Ndesamburo (and Dr Walid Kabourou) and one member of parliament with different seats at the time being Grace Kihwelu."

ENJOY GROWING CHADEMA

After running in the 2005 election with 668,756 votes (about 8.88% percent), Mbua said he did not run for office until 2010 when he ran again but deliberately took advantage of the opportunity.

“At the time I was going to think, I went to Hull University in the UK, looking for a master’s degree in the field of thinking, government affairs and finance.

"At the same time we have made great strides in this gathering. We have changed the arrangements for the meeting, we have organized meeting rooms, we have formed meeting groups, we have created rules and regulations for the board," he said.

He said this was where he set up the climate to persuade various legislatures to join the rally.

"Tell me what I have met, the key to proposing our meeting is to open the door, Chadema should not think that we are independent. There are more talented people than us, we can open doors for them and accept all the laws out of Chadema."

"So I started chasing people, it was the way I found you (Tundu Lissu), I found you in Marando (Mabere), and Professor Safari (Abdallah)," he said.

He went on to say that in his administration he had been leaving office managers in charge, remembering in 2010, when Dr Slaa took over the administration.

"In 2015 we said goodbye to Edward Ngoyai Lowassa, as is the case later, we should not sit idly by. In time you (Lissu) came in 2020 and did your job by gathering," he said.

The first five years

Asking questions about his past, Mbowe said the long tenure of the late John Magufuli's governor was more difficult for the party than at any other time in previous parties. In any case, he says the time has given them the strength to examine themselves.

"Individual attempts. We have had the opportunity to find out who is to blame and who is most powerful, who we are and who we really are.

When he received information about the tragic situation, Mbowe spoke about how the pioneers and organizations who received it years ago were convinced that they would go to the CCM.

"The issue of MPs leaving the rally does not fill me, and after that when they go and argue. These things are disappointing, but when they do, it shows that we need to think ahead. If anything, most of our youth do not want us to be far away," he said.

About the speakers of Parliament

When he received some information about the United States Parliament and the sexual conduct of the speakers since the introduction of the multi-party system in the country, Mbowe first identified Pius Msekwa as the Speaker of the Eighth Parliament.

"Mzee Msekwa was a commentator and a researcher and a respected author of books. Youth, ignorance and stupidity, rebellion, he did not have Swahili," Mbowe said.

He said that despite strong opposition in his time, he did not make mistakes in meetings.

When I came to my mother Anne Makinda was very well behaved, a good woman, listening to all sides, she could have favored her party but with modesty. So Parliament became respectful.

"Sometimes you can say let's get rid of the parties, this is a national issue, let's work together as Tanzanians," he said. When contacted by Speaker Job Ndugai, Mbowe said he did not want to speak to him. When Lissu was asked why he said:

"First of all, the Speaker has shown that I have no doubt that he is holding a grudge against me. Until one day I texted him, 'Ndungai, what have I done wrong? Why is this a secret? The cost of being an opponent Speaking about the cost of being a competitor, he said the costs are huge from the money to the family.

"My family and I are very affected by this organization. I do not see my children, I do not see my wife, sometimes we have an argument at the airport. My big family doesn't see me because I'm in politics. Some kind-hearted people ask me, why are you getting into politics, I say to you no, this is a phone call.

My political presence is not a service, it is a calling.

I am pushing politics because it is my calling to be there,

”he said He added; We have lost business, we have lost souls, even my relatives do not get a job, when you are called Mbowe you look like a stranger. I had a lot of money and could not afford it. "
