Nearly everyone is worrying at the prospect of spending time without power in the near future as announced, with almost evident satisfaction, by Tanesco boss, Dr Idris Rashid.
Even the Bunge Defence and Security Committee (Ulinzi na Usalama) wants to have a chat with Dr Rashid.
He said that the country will be in darkness, hospitals will collapse, babies will be born in the dark and doctors will not know what they are pulling from their patients’ insides and all the horror stories you can link with darkness.
Not me. I am a born optimist and I always see the silver lining in every cloud. Right now I am practising on my powers of conversation.
How to talk. A lot of us have lost that art. They take refuge on watching, mostly junk on TV. You see the moment Tanesco switches off power and the country plunges into darkness, there will be no telly.
I know some of those English Premier League slaves will make a painful groan. But they can all go to hell. Why not talk about football instead of watching Arsenal do their magic.

ReplyDeleteI dont see what you are driving at ? actually he hasnt refuted his statement, so it still stands, and i think people don't like to be told the bold truth
If you watch Oprah, there is a Dr Phil who regulary has his own take there " TELL IT AS IT IS "
so Yes Dr Rashidi, tell it as it is, don't put tomato sauce, sugarcoat it or anything, you are not a politician neither are you at a mercy of anybody.. so there it is out in the open; deal with it !
DEBATE CLOSED
One wonders what those chaps seating there at the so called "Board of Darkness", ah, sorry, "Board of Directors" are directing?
ReplyDeleteForget about "strategic planning", think about "tactical planning", then perhaps you can understand the whole saga...and they should appropriately be known as "Board of Tactic Planning"
If you don't like the name, there is nothing anyone can do about it, because nobody can do anything about anything anyway!
Forget also about all missions and visions you have read about before, for they do not apply. The only reason we have the BOD is to "direct" us to lightness, brightness, mwanga if you like.
But we have ended in darkness before, and now we are heading for darkness again...sound familiar? It does not take rocket science; if not strategic management to understand that our "BOD" is directing TANESCO and all of us folks towards darkness.
Forget about chaps at the ministry too, for if you direct the questions to them, you are making our beloved "BOD" redundant... you are saying that they are not there...that they amount to nothing...that they are "only" "supervising", not directing!! No, please don't!
It is always so funny when power comes back early evening but not before bongolanders retire to their beds, for the sudden smiles and cries they produce in unison..oyeeeee... umeme...umerudiiii. can be a very clever way of making the good citizens happy and always have something to be looking forward to!
How to talk!!. Agree. A lot of us have lost that art because one need a special licence to do that. Thats what I read that the Chairperson of Bunge commitee for Darkness said. If anybody do the talking, without a vailid licence -it is gross misconduct (yes be repriminded).
ReplyDeleteOnly the President can talk on issues of darkness. By the way we do not care what was said, but who said it. Did he posses licence to talk, or permission to talk a threat, you know! We hate threats and so we always deny any material that is thratening. We dont want to be told that there is HIV and tutakawisha!!. I hated s much when in Darwin nightmare we recieve serios threats of natioanal security: mapanki, changu doa, illegal arms and name other threats. We dont want to hear that hunger is killing people, because of extended drought, why should we be threatened. We an independent nation least to get any threats.
I also hate the threat about mafisadi and that they are looting us. How dare they threat us. At least, this mafisadi scare can only be said by licenced talkers and not at Maelezo but atMwembe Yanga or Kwa Zakeem on april first only. if someone scares us inside the Bunge we can scare him that he faked his evidence.
Adam, I also hate DAWASCO for scaring us with their water disconnections.
Lastly, I am really suprised at you foo thinking that TANSECO do not have a planning department. Why? Isnt that the unit where they plan power cuts and blackout (shed-loading) schedules? I know the department also plans which power plant to buy and for how much? Is it not the same unit that appraised and executed Bunge 's Commettee for Darkness advice to buy quickly almost-new IPTL plant knowingly contravining procurement law?
We are unscared nation. We fought maji-maji with bare hands, no guns.
Ha aha ha...Losekelo, this is every funny and true.I really like your articles
