THE FALL OF THE SHILLING…..DEBATE!
The sudden drop in value of the domestic currency, Tanzanian Shilling, against major global currencies, is a matter of great concern. Currency Board – regulators- must urgently come up with a fix to contain this potential economic nightmare from become contagion; sending the domino effect into our main stream ailing economy, and perhaps plunging our country into economic chaos.
Within a span of two months, United States dollar has jumped from Tsh.1250 to a median of Tsh1400, against the Tanzanian shilling; a whopping 12% leap and seemingly sprinting towards Tsh 2,000, per one USD. This currency instability –fluctuation-is quite worrisome, not only to the domestic and foreign corporations; but to the entire economic spectrum. This trend may unravel uncontrollable inflation, and perhaps retard or suppress economic activity –growth-. This is a national concern that is sending chilling effects amongst the citizens on the direction of the nation. We can only ask ourselves on the mechanism that triggered, so abruptly, the fall of the shilling?
Purchase of foreign made industrial, agricultural equipment, and spare-parts need foreign currency –US Dollar, GB pound, Euro etc- . We need foreign currency for the importation of automobiles, purchase of medicine and other medical related equipment. Foreign currency is needed to send our children to school in India, Malaysia, UK, America etc. We even need foreign currency to import the cheap goods from Far East, and in the face of high unemployment, and stagnant wages, this sharp fall of currency, proportionally diminishes our purchasing power parity
A fall of the shilling means investments within the country will result in lower returns when converted back to the foreign currency, as such, most of foreign corporations will have no choice but to raise cost of their goods and services to meet operating cost and at the same time remain profitable. Otherwise, they may be forced to shut down their operations. Likewise, when the value of a domestic currency falls sharply, importation of essential goods and commodities proportionally decreases, resulting into a massive inflation, characterized by sky high prices of essential goods, and commodities
A few months ago, we discussed the impact of dollarization of an economy. Today we are inclined to revisit the topic, along with the nay Sayers – John Mashaka’s vehement critics-, in order to explain how our country has gotten into this ferocious economic debacle? When we have to pay for housing, air ticket, maritime, and other services in foreign currency, we end up creating an artificial excessive demand for foreign currencies. Since our country’s has a negative balance of payment, or trade imbalance; meaning we import more than we export, our foreign currency reserve is must always play in the negative territory
What the country is experiencing today is without a doubt, a beginning of an extreme inflation. I believe that, inflation will be a major event in the latter part of the year, with the consumer price index roughly doubling in the next few months. Taking into account the rate of unemployment, and stagnant wages vs. rise in cost of living, I tend to see prices of basic commodities doubling and even tripling in the next few months, should the shilling continue to lose ground against major currencies. This situation will force many importers out of business as a result of high cost of the foreign goods in relation to the revenue needed to remain operational
The abrupt dive of our currency may be poor man’s problem at the moment, but has time goes, even the societal elite will fill the pinch when some of their billions stashed domestically, turns out to be worthless. It becomes unsustainable when a loaf of bread fetches more than Tsh. 10,000, Sugar Tsh. 12,000 and so forth. Already, millions around the country are experiencing unusual economic hardship; my recent trip to Tanzania exposed me to rather, a painful encounter; I met a school teacher who could not only send her son to a secondary school, but was also unable to buy one kilogram of sugar. Similar stories are everywhere in Tanzania
Zimbabwe is a vivid example our country should learn from, and with elections nearing, we SHOULD expect both legal and ill gotten money into the circulation chasing few goods, and the little foreign currency in the country. Without enforcement of monetary policies, domestic usage of the dollar will only continue to thrive. This must be stopped at all cost, as it makes very little sense to use a foreign currency in a sovereign nation. Why should people pay rent in USD? Why should people purchase air tickets with foreign currencies?
If the wealthy within the establishment are imposing the usage of United States dollar, so that they can transfer their wealth into their foreign bank accounts, for the sake of the majority which is more than 98%, Governor Ben Ndulu, should be given more teeth to reign on commercial banks, and other financial institutions exhilarating this problem immediately, as this is one of the primary causes of the demise of the Shilling, else, we must reconcile with the emergence of new class of worthless of billionaires as the shilling continue to fall in value
On the face of the gloomy global economic outlook, we are certainly sure that, even our European and other Western backers currently battling economic blues of their own, will reduce the amount of aid to our country, which accounts for a bigger percentage of our national budget. Consequently, we should embrace ourselves for the worst case economic scenario as the foreign currency crisis will only deepen
With the prevailing economic hardship, many of the donor countries are not ready to prop-up nations with unclear economic policies. In the eyes of the world, we have failed to demonstrate fiscal conservativeness, and neither do we have visible, and attainable economic policies. In a simple language, we are corned with no way out. The only option we have is to make a u-turn from being donor dependant, to being an innovative nation, with abilities to correct our negative balance of payment. The onus is in the hands of our country leadership to adopt, and implement attainable economic policies. We must encourage domestic manufacturing; boost our exports while reducing our importation of the unnecessary goods to choke off excessive demand for the foreign currencies.
It is natural that humans respond positively by being innovative in times of need, than in times of abundance. This is the time to make good use of our natural resources; we must closely scrutinize the export our minerals to make sure the exports returns home in the form of foreign currency. We must massively advertize, and modernize our infrastructure to improve our tourism sector, expand and make less complicated our maritime services to attract businesses from land locked countries, which will in turn boost our access to foreign currencies. Amid global economic slowdown, our ministries must reduce or cut completely unnecessary foreign trips, straining and consuming millions of dollars from the treasury
In an absolute, or in worst case scenario, although these are extreme measures, we may be forced to peg our currency against the United States Dollar, British Pound and the Euro to save our economy from collapsing, or simply dollarize our economy as a measure of the last resort. This will give room for a fresh start even though will be extremely difficult for ordinary citizens, I however, have faith in Governor Ben Ndulu, should he be given the necessary tools and support he needs to curb this growing fiscal nightmare. This is my perspective let me hear yours!

John Mashaka , you have very good ideas, but the shilling will continue to fall because the big wigs controls the economy. They are the owners of the burea de changes mjini Dar. It is unfortunate that our country us nit ready for change, and will sink deeper into poverty. See small countries like Nepal is considering devaluing its currency because a decades-old peg with the Indian rupee is posing problems for its monetary policy and competitiveness, the central bank governor was quoted as saying.
ReplyDeleteYuva Raj Khatiwada, the newly appointed governor, told the Financial Times in a report published on Monday that Nepal needed to reconsider the currency peg "in the medium term" because of the disparity between India's fast growing economy and that of its landlocked neighbour.
The peg holds the exchange rate at 1.6 Nepali rupees per one Indian rupee.
"We have been overly stressed to maintain the peg," Khatiwada said, noting that India's economy was growing at twice the rate of Nepal's economy.
The governor said that India's rupee was appreciating because of the country's economic strength and capital flows.
Jonhi mashaka usituonee sana, pe kwanza mshikaji wako kanumba asome hii atiko ndo utuletee. Akishindwa kuelewa sie ndo tutaielewa vipi?
ReplyDeleteDawa ya ufisadi wa kitanzania ni kuingia porini, haya mafisadi hayasikii, au njia nyingine ni kuwapa kivumbi ifikapo November, tumechoka kusema kweli, hali ngumu na mashaka anavyosema, jamani sijui maisha yatakuwaje kesho.
ReplyDeleteJohn mashaka, no more opposition. Thimbs up man ! our shilling is dead, the leadership needs to go more so CCM
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 1000% and you are a true hero of this country
Baada ya kufanya uchunguzi na utafiti yakinifu, nimebahini kwamba Mashaka anapendwa siyo tu kutokana na uwezo wake wa kufikiri, bali anapendwa kutokana na uwezo wake wa kuchambua mambo na kuweza kugusa nyoyo za watu. Sitomuita Rais, Nabii au mtume, ila nitamuita bwana mashaka
ReplyDeleteKwa siku za nyuma nilikuwa najiuliza je ni kwa nini huyu kijana anapendwa na kupingwa na wengi? Basi nikaanza utafiti, nimepitia karibia kila article ambayo amendika na pia kupitia maoni yote ya wachangiaji. Na nimegundua kwamba huyu kijana ana kipaji cha aina yake
Amebarikiwa na uwezo wa kuchokoza fikra za watu, kurudi kukaa kando na kuwatazama wakizozana tena kwenye mambo ya kipuuzi, ambayo ndio desturi ya watanzania. Situmii neon genius, ila natumia neno kipaji au vipaji. Na vipaji alivyo navyo bwana mashaka ambayo ndiyo katika katika uongozi, ni ukomavu, uvumilivu na kuwa mtu wa kufikiria maswala kabla ya kuropoka. Hii ndio vipaji vikubwa alivyobarikiwa navyo bwana mashaka
Hili swala la uchumi kuwa mgumu, siyo swala jipya, lakini tujiulize ni nani amewahi kulizungumzia jinsi mashaka alivyolichambua? Hakuna.kwa maana hiyo, raia wa kawaida wanapopata sehemu ya kujadili na kujikuta wanachangia katika maswala muhimu kama haya, leta mada lazima ataonekana mtu wa ajabu sana. Huu ndio chanzo za Mashaka kupewa URAIS, UTUME na na Hata Unabii, kwa maana ni kama mtume toka mbinguni
Licha ya uwezo wake wa kilugha, anao uwezo mkubwa sana katika kuweka pamoja fikra na kuwawezesha wasomaji wake kubaki na shauku kutaka kuendelea kusoma zaidi. Kwa hiyo hadi pale watakapotea wapinzani wa mashaka wa ukweli, atabaki kuwa mfano wa kuigwa na atazidi kuwa His Holiness au mtukufu !

wapambe wa mashaka sasa hivi watanivamia, na wewe john mashaka unafataga nini Tanzania kila mara, heti umekutana na mama asiyeweza kumsomesha mwanae, hiyo so kazi yako ni umbea mtupu na kutangaza matatizo ya watu. Hizo hela za kila mara za kwenda Tanzania si ungemnunulia sukali na kumpeleka mwanae shule uwe baba mdogo??? Watu wengine bwana, wewe kama siyo hao mmoja wa mafisadi unatoa wapi $50,000 za kwend atanzania kila baada ya miezi miwili unaona john mashaka na michuzi kempinsiki wanakula juice ya mchana, lafu malipo yako kwa saa ni $5.75, miafrika ndo tulivyo. Hakuna cha dola kushuka wala nini, unataka tu kazi ya ugavana wa Tanzania. Mimi ukiwa gavana mien a us bloga tunaingia polini Somalia na ak47. Wee kaa uko uko marekani usituletee umbea, siye wabongo tumetosheka hatutaki presha za marekani Tanzania, tumelizika tulivyo
ReplyDeleteMost of the time, people believe that country’s wealth lies on natural resources. This has proven not to be the case. The reason being that, you can have so much yet don’t know what to do with it, and other people ending up benefiting more than the country itself. And that is the case of Barrick Gold, and others looting our nation
ReplyDeleteThis is the case in Tanzania today. Many our riches (wealth) is being enjoyed by foreigners, and a few in the government (FISADI’S -in the ruling CCM). This is happening because we don’t have true wealth. We have poor brains.
John Mashaka, has proven to be a such a valuable ASSET, or other few of the brains we need to claim full riches. I am baffled by this Youngman’s genius mind, no wonder he was tapped to Wall-Street. He has instigated thinking among the Diaspora and has been lightning rod of envy.
I must admit, that this is a well written article, well thought, and timely delivered. These are very challenging times, which needed brains to counter the challenges. John Mashaka’s Ideas and thoughtfulness is superb; he has erased all the doubts we had about him, if at all he wrote the article
Mashaka, tumekusikia vizuri ujumbe umefika, I hope the governor, Hon: Mustafa Mkullo and the rest heard you too. Pia ningependa ushirikiane wenzio ili mtoe mwanga zaidi kwa wenzenu ughaibuni.
Umetoa darasa bila kutegemea. Mimi pia nimetokea kuwa mwanafunzi wako bila kutegemea ingawa umri wako ni sawa na wa mwanangu wa tatu. Itakuwa vyema ukianzisha darasa la wanamtandao linaloitwa Finance -101. Bisha shaka ninakuwa mwanafunzi wako
You are Tanzania’s Gold,
Tanzanians, we have to put jokes aside and agree that this young man is taented, and is one of the few wee need in our country. There are many interlectualls who are capable but can’t take the courage of John MashakaI must therefore take my time to congratulate this sensational youngman for his relentless effort and love for his country.The currency matter has been caused by the inability of our leaders to stop usage of the same into then main economy. We can not buy spareparts,, we can t pay for services at big hotels in usd and not expiriene the problem mr. mashaka is talking about.Mr. mashaka count my vote is 2015, I belive in you and has very high respect for you. You are a hero in Tanzania, and a genius of our generation, job well done, and nice English, kudos
ReplyDeleteMr. President, His Holiness Yohana Mashaka, this is a well written piece as usual, but seemingly you have learn so much in America, and forgot that these theories are not applicable in a country like Tanzania. Tanzanian leadership sill thinks in terms of 1947 yet we are in the 21st century.
ReplyDeleteWe expect the savvy of our generation like you to assume leadership and change the entire scope of our economic vision. The Tanzania will continue to lose its value, until it collapse and the current regime has no intent of changing things for the beeter
Michuzi Pongezi kubwa tena za dhati kwa kutupa forum ya kuweza kujadili na kusikiliza maswala ya nyumbani Tanzania. Hawa vijana wetu kusema kweli wanaamka sana, upeo wao wa kufikiri wa kutafakari maswala unatisha.
ReplyDeletehekima kubwa kuliko serikali yetu butu ya EPA? Heti wamepelkwa mahakamani, ma kamanda wa EPA wako wapi? Ufisadi unatuuwa jamani. Kilichonipendeza ni kwamba umefungua ukurasa mpya wenye manufaa makubwa kwa ajili ya nchi yetu. Mijadala ya hivi karibuni, imetuletea matumaini makubwa, sio tu kwetu sisi wanamtandao, lakini taifa la Tanzania kwa ujumla.
Natumai viongozi wetu, wenye machungu na nchi yao, wamesoma umahiri wa vijana wetu walio ughaibuni hasa namaanisha Dr Shayo na Mwanaharakati John Mashaka. Vijana wawili ambao ni lazima warudi Tanzania. Sioni sababu ya Uingereza na Marekani kufaidi vichwa kama hivi huku sisi tunaangaika na vitoto vya mafisadi katika kila wizara nyeti na vyeti feki. Licha ya hayo, ma TX wamejaa Tanzania, wengine wasiokuwa na elimu huku wakilipwa mamia ya mamillioni kwa mwaka. Kwa nini hizi fedha zisilipwe wakina Dr. Shayo? Hawa vijana wamekubalika,
Shayo Apewe Uchumi au Urban planning, Mashaka Apewe Fedha au Sheria, ili vichwa vyao vigongane huko kwa ajili ya walalahoi waliochoshwa na maisha pamoja na Ufisadi. Hawa vijana wawili wameonyesha umahiri mkubwa, na itakuwa vyema wao kurudi nyumbani kuchangia katika kujenga taifa letu. Hapa tu malumbano yao yametuacha hoi, itakuwaje wakiwa katika wizara tofauti?
Nadhani wengine wasema kwamba ni watoto wadogo, wengine watasema nao ni mafisadi, lakini tufahamu kwamba, Ingawa wote ni vijana wadogo hasa Mashaka amabye nadhania ana umri wa miaka 30, nadhani enzi za kuwatazama watu kutokana na umri umepita. Walio na umri mkubwa wamevunja rekodi kuwa mafisadi waliokubuu. EPA, RICHMOND, KIWIRA na mengine yametuchosha.
Sasa hivi muhimu ni uwezo. Wameonyesha uwezo wao, na pia wamehamasisha taifa kwa kiwango kikubwa. Hapa DAR jana jioni katika kukusanyika kwetu kuburudika, swala la hawa vijana ulizua mjadala mkubwa sana, uliochukua takribani masaa mawili.
John Mashaka, msiogope, Rudini nyumbani muitumikie taifa lenu. Jamani, watanzania inabidi tuwape vijana wetu nafasi ya kuongoza nchi,
Wadau, Nanyi pia mtoeni maoni yenu kwa maana hawa vijana wawili wametu challenge sana, na waandika ushuzi hapa mmefika kigoma sidhani yupe mwenye akili timamu atayeandika ushuzi
Chakula cha masene kimekwagwa, sasa hivi hali ya hewa inachafuka
ReplyDeleteMchangiaji
Siku za hivi karibuni kumekuwa na mjadala kuhusu kuporomoka kwa thamani ya shilingi ukilinganisha na sarafu za nchi nyingine kama dola ya Marekani, Paundi ya Uingereza na EURO ya Ulaya. Shilingi ya Tanzania mwisho wa mwaka iliimirika hadi kufikia dola moja kuwa sawa na Ths 1,100 lakini sasa imeanza kushuka na kuelekea kufikia Ths 1,250. Sababu kubwa ya kushuka thamani ya shilingi ni mahitaji ya fedha za kigeni kuzidi upatikanaji wa fedha hizo. Hii ina maana kuwa tunaelekea kuwa na akiba ya fedha za kigeni isiyotosheleza mahitaji ya uingizaji bidhaa kutoka nje ya nchi kwa miezi sita.
ReplyDeleteFedha za kigeni zinahitajiwa kuingiza bidhaa za mtaji (consumer goods) pamoja na mitambo na vipuri vya viwandani fedha hizo pia zinahitajiwa kuingiza malori matrekta na zana za kilimo. Ili kuwa na akiba inayotosheleza ya fedha za kigeni kuna umuhimu wa kuongeza mauzo ya bidhaa na huduma nchi za nje na hivyo kuongeza mapato ya sekta ya utalii, madini, bidhaa za viwandani na mauzo ya bidhaa zisizo asili (non- traditional exports).
Je kushuka kwa thamani ya shilingi kuna madhara gani kwa uchumi wa nchi? Wachumi wanabainisha kuwa thamani ya shilingi ikishuka mauzo ya nje huongeza (exports) kwa sababu mkulima anapata motisha kwa kupata fedha nyingi za kitanzania kwa dola moja ile ile ya Kimarekani. Na mnunuzi nje ya nchi ana faida ya kununua fedha ya Tanzania kwa bei rahisi. Lakini ili nchi ifaidike kwa kushuka thamani ya fedha (deprecition au devaluation) ni lazima viwanda vilivyopo viwe na uwezo wa kuongeza uzalishaji kwa muda mfupi (extra capacity). Sekta ya kilimo haiwezi kunufaika mara moja kwa sababu ya kipindi kirefu kati ya upandaji mbegu na uzalishaji mazao na sekta hii itafaidika tu kama kulikuwa na kahawa au pamba nyingi iliyohodhiwa ili kuongojea bei ya soko la dunia ipande kitu ambacho si rahisi kwa nchi changa kama Tanzania.
Kwa upande mwingine kushuka kwa thamani ya shilingi ya Tanzania hufanya manunuzi kutoka nje ya nchi (imports) zipande bei.
Hii ni kwa sababu sasa unatumia shilingi nyingi zaidi ili kununua dola moja ya Marekani au paundi moja ya Uingereza kama bei a bidhaa kutoka nje itapanda uwezo wa kuingiza bidhaa hizo utapungua. Lakini la muhimu zaidi ni kwamba bei kubwa ya bidhaa kutoka nje huchangia mfumuko wa bei au imported inflation. Kwa muda wa kati Benki Kuu inaweza kuingia katika soko la fedha za kigeni (interbank Foreign Exchange Market) na kuongeza mauzo ya dola na Paundi katika soko ni hili kitafanya shilingi iimarike katika soko. Benki Kuu itafanya hivyo tu pale sarafu itakapoporomoka haraka haraka na kwa kiwango kikubwa.
Hii inamaanisha kwamba sera ya uchumi ya sasa ingeenda soko lipange thamani ya shilingi ili kuzuiwa kuwa na sarafu ambayo wachumi wanaita ``over valued`` kwa sababu hii itaathiri mauzo ya bidhaa nchi za nje.Mwaka 1995 mfumuko wa bei ulikuwa 36 na ilipofika 2004 mfumuko wa bei ulishuka hadi 4.5%. Hii inawezekana kwa sababu ya kwua na sera nzuri ya ujazo wa fedha katika uchumi wa nchi na kuwa na sera nzuri ya matumizi ya fedha za serikali (fiscal policy). Benki kuu ilipanga ujazo wa fedha usizidi asilimia 15-20% kwa mwaka na kuhakikisha hakuna fedha nyingi katika uchumi wa nchi kuzidi uzalishaji wa bidhaa na kiwango cha ubadilishanaji wa biashara (value of transactions). Ikumbukwe kuwa fedha zikiwa chache mno katika uchumi uzalishaji wa bidhaa na biashara kwa jumla zitaathirika.
Mfumuko wa bei ukiwa nchi ina maana wananchi wanafaidika kwa bei za chini ni kupata bidhaa nyingi zaidi kwa kupata au mshahara ule ule. Tulishuhudia miaka ya 1995-2005 bei za mikate, nyama, matunda, kiberiti, mchele na kadhalika kubadilika au kupanda kidogo tu. Hivi sasa mfumuko wa bei ni zaidi ya silimia tano na tunashuhudia bei za vyakula na vitu vya mahitaji ya kawaida ikipanda. Bei ya mkate mmoja ilikuwa sh. 300 miaka miwili ya nyuma lakini sasa imefika Ths 600-700/-. Pango la kodi za nyumba pia zinaendelea kuapnda. Hii inaonyesha umuhimu wa kudhibiti mfumuko wa bei katika uchumi wa nchi.
I AM SKEPTICAL WITH THE actual existence of this character the author, called John Mashaka. He is never opposed in the public, Michuzi isa lways glorifying him I am always fascinated with his unusual way of thinking. He has a very glossy means of presenting hia ideas to the right audience. Some times what you write seems to good to be true, and that makes me skeptical whether you are the true author of your articles. However, your assessment is mostly applicable in the US and Europe. Tanzania is not in the level or scale of your thinking, tone down your rhetoric, because even though you have convincing power and very valid arguments, it is unfortunate that you are pushing wrong agendas to wrong people. People like Zitto Kabwe are double dealers; they are trying to get what they can from Mining companies and at the same time trying to secure their votes with electorates by throwing any idea into the public. I second your article, it is well written and well researched, hope those in power do read them
ReplyDeleteHis Holiiness Yohanna Mashaka ni msomi makini sana. Genius na rais wetu wa mbeleni, wewe unabepa mabox, kuuza nywele na kuiba cheki za dili za wazee , shule hakuna, hoja zenye mantiki huna, sasa unafikiri wewe na mashaka ni sawa. Kafie mbali muache Mashaka kaka wa watu.. john mashaka,kila mtu anampenda Na vijana wengi wanatamani kuwa Kama His Holiness John Mashaka ila ukweli unabakia pale pale kwamba binadamu tunaumbwa na vipaji tofauti na vipaji vyote havifanani. Yake mungu alimbariki na upendo, akili busara na hekima, na kupendwa na watu ila kosa lake ni kumjua aisha senkoro. yule ni skendo babu kubwa tena ana mapepo anahitaji kuombewa, anakula hata hottie dogi kwenye choo cha klabu.jina la mashaka kwake ni kama dhaabu kilo moja ambalo hajawahi kukipata kwa hiyo kukipoteza kinamuuma. Analitumia sana kujinadi, kila sehemu anaandika jina lake, anamsema kwa watu, kisa, kakataliwa na mahesabu yake kuharibika. Hata na mie ashanambia mengi tu mabovu kumhusu huyu mkaka ila ukweli umekuja kufahamika kwamba yeye mwongo mzushi,mfitini, mnafiki mgomvi na mwenye akili za kitoto. wakaka wote waliokula pale wanajificha wasifahamike wametua hapo wengine wanaendelea kula kinyemela. kwa hiyo jina kubwa kama joni mashaka lazima alitumie, hiyo siyo freshi, mashaka huko juu sana kujishusha hadhi kwenye uchafu kama ule, wee mwanamke gani anajitangaza heti katoka na mtu? hacha kumchafulia kaka wa watu jina lake zuri unaniuzi sana. Hata wakina mbonie walitoka na etoo lakini hawajitangazi, huyu mdada ni nuksi wanawake ni nuksi, ukikataliwa kubali siyo kubakia kuandika message za uongo na matusi mwanamke utakufa bure, wewe na wenzako ni wivu, haters, chuki, wazandiki, wafitini na wenye roho chafu. wanawake tuna matatizo makubwa mbona usijitangaze kutembea na miraji?? hilooo. Siyo kwamba tukiachwa tuanze kutangaza chuki, kwa nini uanzishe website kutumia jina la rafiki yako alafu umsingizie mtu mwingine?? Unzani hatujui kwamba ni ww ndo uliyeanzisha hiyo website? Mie bado, kipigo nitakachokupa usiombe, giant aliyekupiga na kukungoa nywele alikuchezea, mie ntakutoa meno . ulimmega mume wangu subili tu, utakumkuba maisha yako yote. mashaka endelea kutuandikia maatikozzzz na ndondozzz za muzumbe chuo kikuu chenu za univesiti usimjali

ReplyDeleteBravo Mr President J. Mashaka,
ReplyDeleteCountry like U.S.A, U.K, SWEDEN,.... and many other country in developed world/Civilised world VALUE people like John Mashaka. And for a country like Tanzania of course we deserve also to Value this MAN. Makala anazoandika na kama watu wetu wangekuwa wanaziweka katika Magazeti yetu ya hapa BONGO na watu wakawa wanazisoma nafikiri tungekuwa mbali sana kwenye DUNIA hii.
Forget about grant Corruption and corrupt Leaders in Higher position, if we fight this one by having people like John Mashaka idea's being published and accessed by many people, I think we can let many others bring their ideas to board.Very few people in this world who are Brilliant like John Mashaka and that's why Country like U.S.A does not want to lose this potential asset on the Financial Market, we need him and we need his attributes or his inherent value to add to our national Economies. Let us be realistic and not all the time optimistic on matter that touch our interest, we must learn to admit when some one has done a Tremendous job.
Hili swala la matumizi ya fedha za kigeni hasa dola, inatia huruma sana. Sasa sisi wa kipato cha chini tutafanyaje? Yaani serikali yetu nikama imenyamaza tu na mambo yanazidi kuyumba tu.
ReplyDeleteNadhani nguvu yetu iwe kwenye uchaguzi mkuu ujao ili tuwango’e hawa viongozi feki, tumechoka na hali ya maisha inazidi kuwa ngumu.
Mashaka kudos, my friend, but For a currency to be devalued means that the issuing government has mandated that the price of the currency (in foreign dollars) is lower than it was before. For example: if the Russian government changes the exchange rate from 100 rubles = $1 to 150 rubles = $1, then the ruble has been devalued. Now, regardless of whether a country has a fixed or flexible exchange rate system, there exists a "true" (we say "equilibrium") exchange rate. The equilibrium exchange rate is the exchange rate at which everyone who wants to sell the currency can find a buyer and everyone who wants to buy the currency can find a seller. By definition, a flexible exchange rate is the equilibrium exchange rate. This is not the case with a fixed exchange rate. Consider the following analogy. The equilibrium price of a car is $10,000. If the government imposes no restrictions on car prices (i.e. car prices are flexible), then the free market price of a car will be $10,000. Further, there will be no surplus or shortage of cars -- everyone who wants to buy a car (at $10,000) will find one to buy, and everyone who wants to sell a car (at $10,000) will find a customer. Now, suppose the government imposes a price floor on cars of $15,000. At the official price of $15,000, many people will want to sell cars, but few people will want to buy cars – there will be a surplus of cars. If the government wants to avoid ending up hip-deep in unsold cars, it will have to buy the extras itself. (Note: this is precisely what the government does in the case of farm subsidies.) In the case of a fixed exchange rate, the Russian government declares that the official price of 100 rubles is $1. Suppose, however, that the equilibrium price of 100 rubles is $0.75. That is, people would be willing to trade 100 rubles for $1, but the government only allows trades of 100 rubles for $0.75. At the official price of 100 rubles to $0.75, many people will want to sell rubles (sellers receive $0.25 more than the equilibrium price), but few will want to buy rubles (buyers must pay $0.25 more than the equilibrium price). The result is that there will be a surplus of rubles: there are more people willing to sell than there are people willing to buy. As in the car example, if the government wants the market to continue, it must take up the slack. In this case, the Russian government must buy the surplus rubles (at the official price of 100 rubles to $1). How does the Russian government buy rubles? It pays for the rubles on the market with, for example, US dollars. So now everything is fine. The official exchange rate is 100 rubles to $1. The Russian government buys up the surplus rubles that the market does not want, and life goes on. Not so fast. The Russian government is buying these surplus rubles with US dollars. The US dollars are coming out of a stockpile that the Russian central bank has built up. What happens when the Russian central bank starts to run out of dollars? When the Russian central bank starts to run out of dollars, it becomes harder for it to buy up the surplus rubles. If the central bank loses the ability to buy up surplus rubles, then it becomes powerless to enforce its fixed exchange rate. The Russian government now has three options: (1) revert to a flexible exchange rate (which would cause the price of rubles to immediately fall to 100 rubles to $0.75), or (2) suspend trading in rubles (which is what the government did first), or (3) devalue the ruble so that the fixed exchange rate is closer to the equilibrium exchange rate (which is what the government did next). Note that option 3 does not solve the problem, but it does buy some time, while option 2 results in the formation of black markets in which the price of the ruble will fall more than it would were the government to revert to a flexible exchange rate.

ReplyDelete============================
Mr. President, I am obliged to write you as a good citizen of Tanzania to let you know of our country’s assets being exploited by foreign countries. These people are stealing our natural resources, they are also stealing our interlectuals.
If you really love Tanzania, there is no point of leaving young men like john Mashaka to live in America and work for them. These are the brains that we need in our country. I am sure, very few ministers in the current cabinet can match the intellectual might of the Mashaka like
Ikiwa unaipenda Tanzania unavyosema, basi vijana DIASPORA, wakina mashaka ndio wawe wa kwanza kupewa nyadhifa ambazo mnachukulia wageni kutoka nje kuja kufanya.
Hii ndo itakuwa kipima joto, vinginevyo haturdi Bongo NGO !!
Haiwezi kula kwanu, hawa ndo wawe litmus paper, kwa maana Shayo Karudi lakini kazidi kuchoka mbaya !!
Natumai Mr. Rais umeisoma barua yangu ya wazi.naumwa na tumbo kuona taifa letu likitumbukia kwenye umasikini ilhali tuna vichwa mabvyo vinaweza kulikomboa taifa letu tukufu

I don’t know English, and saw this good comment, I post here from jua kali. The biggest problem facing our country is the way people incorporate ‘waste’ in our systems and banking system has got no exception. ‘Waste’ has been a ‘norm’ in banking system just like in our hospitals, manufacturing units etc. People are happy with it [waste] and some are making their 'ends meet' by using it, as it encourages corruption- It’s really strange in today's world of stiff business competition!
ReplyDeleteBy saying ‘waste’, I don’t mean a pile of rubbish you see when you enter one of these offices. While a pile of rubbish can cause ‘waste’ in a process by making other processes delay but it’s far more than that if I'm perfectly honest.
Let me first define what waste means before creating more misunderstanding and mayhem on the subject matter.
‘Waste’ is anything is production or process that doesn’t add value to the intended['main'] task. Say in a theatre room in hospital; we know for sure the main task there is to perform an operation to a patient, so if it takes 10 minutes to find where scissors are or where gloves are, then the whole process of doing operation would be delayed for 10 minutes. The process of finding scissors/gloves entails ‘waste’ here as there is no value added in our main task; operation, instead, the process of finding scissors/gloves takes time in our main task. Assume the same is happening in 100 operations, then the hospital would loose about 50 minutes doing this non-value added task of looking for scissors etc.
There are lots of processes within many banks that don’t add any value to their core activities and this could be one of the reasons we have such long queues. There are several ways to tackle the issue. While I can acknowledge there is no ‘one size fits all solution’ but I think this could pave a way to the solution of the problem; it’s for the banks concerned to look at their processes and evaluate them accordingly time after time. This could help them know where problems lie and implement, apart from other solutions, a waste-cutting/leaner solution.
While they [banks] know what sort of times these long queues emerge; it’s up to them to add extra staff during these times. I’m sure some customers wouldn’t have problems/issues that need to be solved in counter, so this sort of things can be dealt by extra personnel outside the counter.
I don’t know if our banks use drop box facilities! If they aren’t, I think it’s time for them to start thinking about using these boxes. Having these facilities in the bank would enable banks to cut number of customers on the queues as some customers wouldn’t like to spend the whole of the day on the queue for the sake of depositing ‘few shillings’ in someone's account. But it should be noted that robust procedures and mechanism to curb down any anticipated ‘dodge’ activities from untrustworthy customers or employees are to be put in place.
Of course, we can’t ignore the power of technology here! Who denies the power of technology when used wisely and effectively? What about having 'reliable' internet banking? I understand our level of internet technology could be a stumbling block, both in security [level] and availability of internet to some customers. But internet banking has been observed to be a panacea for long queues associated with brick-and-mortar banks. Banks and other stakeholders in financial sector should invest heavily on these technologies to ease overwhelmed brick-and-mortar banks when it comes to the bill payments, cash transfers etc.
For today, that’s what I had to say.
who is the john mashaka??
ReplyDeletejana kuna mafala Fulani walikuwa wanabishana na mimi heti wanaweza kubishana na john mashaka sembuse mimi, mie nikawa sielewi, huyu mtu kazukia wapi, anakuwa kama cheche Fulani kwa maana leo mara ya pili nasoma atikol zake humu ndani, mnihabarishe jama
Whatever prophet mashaka is talking about is not anything new people want to hear. Tanzanians are talking of USIFADI mashaka is talking about the shilling. This does not make sense at all, he is out of touch with the reality. We are tired of his articles.
ReplyDeleteI have been working with Comrade Mugabe for the past six months, and all of you can agree that Zimbabwe is growing due to my good work. Mashaka, is another Madoff of Tanznaia, and would not bet my dime on him to be a savior of Tanzania
He is an opportunity who wants to rule Tanzania through the back door. We have to get mashaka to come and work with me or debate me. I am tired of hearing of women praising him every day
I am ready to pay him and his antourage to come and debate me in Tanzania, with TIDO Mhando moderating the debate. I wan to show Mashaka, that he is still a little kid who need to learn mpre from OXFORD alumni
I am willing to pay Nabii John Mashaka USD $ 1,000,000 (1 million) to come and participate in a roundtable discussion in Tanznaia. I am also going to let him fly first class to TZ, and stay at Kempinsiki at my own expense.
John Mashaka is very broke with $5.75 n hour cannot sustain him, he must therfr accept my offer so that he can get out of poverty he is currently in. I graduated with first class honors from OXFORD and half cooked interlecatuals from the US cannot worry me. I am more smarter than john Mashaka I swear on that

As usual Mashaka have spoken with a lot of gusto and machismo but you have spoken from your heart.He has exposed hir brilliance and rhetoric by being indirect on various.
ReplyDeleteHis mastery of English language has given him a competitive edge against his fellow –semi literate-tanzanians who lacks the the ability even for the less needed messenger jobs in Kenya. Most of them in Eurpore are simply drug dealers, and factory workers
I am sure Mashaka did not learn his masteryo f issues from Tanzania, UDSM or elsewhere. His interelectual foundation emanated from his early years in Kenya.Your years of schooling in Kenya before coming to the US for higher education and career development appear to have left an ambivalent mark on you.
I lived with Tanzanians in the UK, and they are some of the funniest human beings –creatures- I have ever seen. Gossipers, party animals, and the laziest to have ever inhabited plannet earth; When I read well thought and well composed Ideas such as Mashaka’s, I remember two famed Kenya Ministers, Robert Ouko and Tom Mboya who happens to be from the Same Tribe Luo, Obama’s ancenstrial tribe.
John Mashaka is not a Tanzanian, because very few of them think like him, they have very low self esteem, incompetent and dumbest people I have ever come across, just like Julius K. Nyerere was a Rwandese (Tutsi) John Mashaka is a Luo from Kenya where Obama, Tom Mboya and Robert came from. This places Kenya on top of the world in terms of most brilliant people besides Nigeria Ibo’s in the entire African continent.
Do not therefore celebrate this young man as your own; rather thank Kenyan’s for training and eventually exporting world class thinkers of Mashaka’s caliber.
PS: John Mashaka, this issue aside, and congratulation for the great work you are doing. You are truly an African son of the soil. We as the land where you received your education are proud of you as we are proud of our existential son, Barrack. Hussein. Obama who is now the president of the United States of America

Hongera bwana mashaka, ila mimi nina mtizamo tofauti. Kwani watu kama wakina mashaka wenye akili kama hizi waoitwa genius, mara nyingi hawawezi kuwa marais. Hawa huwa watafiti washauri na walimu vyo vikuu.
ReplyDeleteMarais mara nyingi ni wajanja wa mitaani, kwa hiyo mnaompendekeza mashaka kuwa rais 2015,
mimi natofautiana nanyi.
Siyo kwamba namchukia mashaka, hapana, nampenda sana huyu kijana ila sidhani kwanza kama ana nia ya kuingia kwenye siasa
We must admit that most of his writings are current and uptodate. nadhani inabidi tuachane na mambo ya wivu ili tuendelee na kuchangia mema kwa wenzetu, tanzania tutafika lini. jon mashaka is one of the few young men our country has to be proud of. he is a thinker, he is a trategist he knows what to write and when to writeto be honestis thinking in terms of 50 years ahead for Tanzania, Fisadis’ are thinking how to loot their ministry’s. These are the caliber of Kwame Nkrumah, Wole Soyinka, Julius Nyerere, Nelson Mandela who devoted their lives for their people. This youngman has a very brilliant future and we must support him. mzee wa vijisenti is thinking madili zake huko UK, and mashaka is thinking of dangers of fall of our currency.Hata bunge letu halijajadili kuhusu sarafu, wao wanafurahia ruswha wanazopowe kwa kushabikia mafisadi wenzao. Nadhani muda umefika wa watanzania kutazama uongozi au viongozi siyo hoja tu, bali kwa vitendo vyao
ReplyDeleteIt is time we give this breed of Mashaka a chance to lead this nation. We need these young people to come forth and demand change. The voters, we are ready to give them the benefit of doubt as long as we can leave ufisadi behind us. It makes me wonder how someone can post a bind of 3. Billion yet was working for less than a million in salary a year. Only in Tanzania, where the powerful rule and the poor sink in poverty. Mashaka has written extensively on the fate of this nation, but seemingly his brilliantly crafted articles enters in dead hears. All he spoke about economic are coming true, we are losing jobs in this land, our tourism is deteriorating, but the government has never come forward to tell the people how the problems is going to be solved or what plans they have in place.
A country’s success depends on her people’s ability to fight for their own. This new breed of leadership is the alternative we need to close the widening gap between the haves and have notes in our country. Mashaka’s maturity to lead is clear because he is stern and bold in his decisions, yet humble and modest on the other hand. Young man we love and treasure YOU., just come back and join dr slaa, Mtikila and other patriots who are dying for their country. I am crediting you for your brilliance and articulate abilities. You can initiate, build and defend ideas. This is what we are lacking in our country. We have people who spend much of their time thinking how to loot the public wealth yet majority in the country dying with poverty. I was shocked when I came to Tanzania and visited Wizara ya Mambo ya Ndani, wakina dada wanaofanya kazi pale, I don’t know whether they are lawyers or what not, they don’t deserve to be there because they don’t know what they are doing but trying to show off their stupidity.. That is why we are so poor and have no hope of ridding ourselves of poverty, even the Chinese to us looks like Gods. We must wake up now we have people like you and Dr. Shayo. Please come back home, don’t let the Wall-Street money corrupt you and forget your country that raised you. The Americans love you because they know what you are worth. Tanzanians must now embrace you young man, you are incredible and a thinker of another caliber in another planet
Mzee wa vijisenti
Mr. John Mashaka, mimi nina wazo zuri sana na ningependa unisikilize, hawa watu wa Tanznaia wamepoteza netiwaki, njoo tujumuike pamoja, najua na wafuasi ulionao, dhebu letu litapendeza zaidi. TBL na voda, wako tayari kutudhamini ili tukapande ndege bila pasipoti kwenda kuhubiri uingereza. Hakuna haja ya passportHuko unaruhusiwa kunywa pombe, na hata kuoa wanawake wengi kwa sababu siyo dhambi. Hata yesu alilewa na hajakata kunywa, tatizo ni kupoteza netiwaki. Mimi nilikuwaga na ukimwi na mpenzi wangu nikampoteza lakini baad aya kunywa na kuvuta bangi pamoja na kula kiti moto nikapona. Kwa hiyo na wewe njoo hata tukauhubiri dubai kwa sababu huko wanaruhusu kuoa wanawake wengi

over a year ago nobody knew obama. a ayear later, he became a global sensation. this is not because he was super smart, but because he was God chosen to bring about change. I dont see why mashaka cannot simply bocome like obama. and i do know that when people talk abou you much, you are doing or you have done something. you cannot be talking about mashaka if you have not seen the signs of greatness on him, and we can only agree that he has made us proud as a country.

Maandishi ya Joni Mashaka hayanishangazi, kwani niliyategemea kulingana na jinsi nimemsoma huyu bwana mdogo katika kipindi kifupi cha kusikia na kusoma habari zake.
ReplyDeleteYeyote mwenye machungu na nchi yake kamwe hawezi kunyamaza katika mazingira kama haya yanayoletwa na ufisadi uliokithiri.
Nadhani makala ya bw. Mashaka ni ya kisomi, na kijana aliyekomaa kifikra anayechukua muda wake kuandika mada zake. Ndio kwa sasa nitakubali kutumia neno GENIUS wetu kwani hata viongozi wetu hapa nchini wameisifia sana mchujo wake, lugha na uwezo wa kifikra na matumizi yake mazuri ya lugha.
Mashaka baba yake Mzazi Dr. Mirondo nimesoma naye pale Musoma Alliance hadi tulipoachana akielekea masomoni Marekani na mimi nikaelekea Cambridge UK. Baba yake na huyu kijana alikuwa mtu mahiri sana, hadi anaelekea IMF na hatimaye kustaafu na mauti kumchukua R.I. P mzee mirondo alikuwa mtu amabaye unahitaji sana kuwa makini ukiongea naye. Mashaka endeleza kipaji cha familia
Nakumbuka hata Mwl. J. K Nyerere alianza hivi hivi ingawa kasi ya mashaka inaongezwa na vijana wenzake ambao ni wanamtandao. Huyu bwana mdogo akiendelea na kasi hii, nina uhakika atailetea taifa letu na bara letu heshima kubwa sana. Mungu ambariki mashaka wetu, na azidi kuwa rasilimali ya Tanzania
Bw. Mashaka, siye wachagga tunakukaribisha uchaggani na kukupa cheo cha umangi. Kwani kila kabila linajidahi likiwa na mtu wa maana. Unajua ndugu yetu Lyatonga angefika mbali lakini elimu yake ilikuwa ndogo sana kwa hiyo mambo yakamshinda, na sasa hivi amefulia na CCM inamtumia kama attack dogs wao. Pengine JK anampa uwaziri wa mambo ya ndani akishinda urais mwaka huu. Yule ndugu yetu mbowe, wala hatumtegemei, ila wwewe tunaweza kukupa umangi kwa hiyo matokeo yake wasukuma, wahagga, wakurya na nimeseme mikoa kama nane itakukubali, na hiyo ni safi kwani utakuwa hauna upinzania. Wachagga tumuunge mkono, huyu mngi wetu mpya, mteule yohanna mashaka
ReplyDeleteThank you John for putting this issue into wider perspective. I hope those who have authority and responsibility to handle government policies will read, understand, wake up and go to fix this big loom problem.
ReplyDeleteExcellent Stuffs!!!
ReplyDeleteBravo Mashaka, I don't know you, but you got exactly what I and other Tanzanians wanted, and been waiting to hear.
To others, Mashaka has demonstrated a very reputable leason; we must be positive and confident when it comes to our nationality. Yes We Can! Soliderity,...... Yes We Can! You are my HERO
Bravo Mashaka! Bravo!!!
In my view I think there is a very big problem of good leadership in Tanzania government system at the moment. Leaders are not working on big issues like economy rather they are just busy scoring cheap political points by focusing too much on very simple issues.
ReplyDeleteIf country economy is not well managed by having sound monetary policy in place, life will be difficult to everybody.
Thank you John for this article. However, I would like to correct/add a comment on point of foreign investors closing there businesses and move away. This will not be the case for all investors. Specifically, investors; who are exploiting raw materials; such as mining, agricultural products and other natural resources which are of course main exports for Tanzania, are very happy at the moment. This is because they can now get more shillings by selling few amount of dollars and at the end make huge profit.
ReplyDeleteHongera ndugu john for such an analysis if only could our president hear our voices...what are our economic policies advisors doing?
ReplyDeleteThis guy has really good ideas. I wonder if they get published in any local news papers or magazine, ecomists and president's advisors how would they get this article? Sincerly we have a lot of resources if can be utilized well we will resecure the situation. But our main problems is to intergrate politcs with economy and lack of seriousness.
ReplyDeleteSolution:
ReplyDelete1. Stop agitating FDI by passing laws like teh recent Telecommunications Law and the Mining Law. When Investors get agitated the flow of Forex is AWAY from your country
2. Development Partners witholding 200BUSD in GBS must also have contributed too. To this I say, "IT IS ABAOUT TIME WE STOP DEPENDING ON DONORS BY SPENDING WHAT WE HAVE".

Umekuwa sauti yetu na Mungu anaona baba
ReplyDeleteHivi ati muda wote wakuandika hizi essays unapata wapi??????
ReplyDeleteJamani weee,
Personally i think if you have got great ideas, it will be best if you speak directly to people who are running the country's economy. I'm talking about, Finance minister and other people who are directly involved in the finance sector.
It will be absolutely pointless to come up with great ideas and not put them into practise. They will remain as a dream and then one day you will come up to regret that, you know what, had i known, i should have contacted the people who are really involved with all the matters of economy. Now it is too too late.
I'm sure that, TZ has got people with full of great ideas but we, end up being writers like shakespeare. At least shakespeare is remembered for the great work he did and when you mention his name everbody known.
For us walala hoi, wala vumbi, trust me whether you like it or not we will continue kula vumbi if we keep on being writers. There is a lot of talking, word of mouth and there is no delivery.
Ni hayo tu michuzi.

Tangu dr shayo amerusi amekuwa akialikwa kutoa mihandara ndani na nje ya nchi na bila sijakosea nilikuatana naye Kigali alipokuwa amealikwa kutoa ushauri nasaaa katika masuala ya maendeleo.
Si hivyo tu, majuzi alikuwa Zanzibar katika kupata mapumziko, na akiwa huko michuzi akatupatia picha ya huyo Dr shayo akiwa na msanii ambaye ni kama hazina ya taifa i.e. bi Kidude, je huko kuchoka kwatoka wapi?
Mwezi wa juzi alikuwa ESAMI kutoa lecture, je huko ndiko kuchoka?
Jamani acheni majungu. tukubali kuwa vinaja mlioko nje mnawasi wasi wa kurudi nyumbani. Nyumbani kuzuri, mradi usitake kuwa miliionea siku moja.
Nakutana mara kwa mara na dr Shayo, na kwa kweli mimi namsifu kwa kuwa jasiri kurudi nyumbani kama alivyoahidi alivyoongea na blog hii ya jamii mwaka jana au juzi.
Hawa ni wale vijana ambao wanakusudia kitu, wanaahidi na wanatekeleza.
Aliahidi kurudi kuja kuungana na watanzania wengine katika kujenga Taifa na amenyanya hivyo, sasa sijui mnataka afanye nini.
Naamini naye mashaka atarudi na kuungana na Shayo.
Hongera Dr Shayo
Usikatishwe tamaa na vijimaneno vya humu mtandaani

Huyu naweza kusema ni kati ya wale vijana ambao wameitikia Mwito wa Rais Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete kuja kujenga Taifa.
Ushauri, vijana wenye uwezo na mnaojiamini kama akina Mashaka au Dr shayo, kuweni na msimamo.

Hongera sana Dr Shayo kukubali kurudi nyumbani Tanzania, na kukataa kuendelea kutumiwa na mataifa matajiri.
Watanzania wengi watanufaika sana na uamuzi wako
ni vizuri umeona thamani ya shillingi imeporomoka ikilinganishwa na Dollar ila kuna vitu hujavisema kwa usahihi kimojawapo ni kwamba thamani ya fedha za nchi nyingi duniani zimeporomoka ikilinganishwa na dollar na hii yawezekana ni kwamba Obama boys wanafanya kazi yao uchumi wao waimarika.
ReplyDeletepili, thamani ya fedha ya tanzania ikilinganishwa na Euro imepanda so kutumia against major currencies itakuwa sio sahihi.

ReplyDeleteBw.John Mashaka! Kushuka kwa pesa yetu ni kwa sababu pesa yetu inalindwa na Euro,na kama unavyojuwa Euro imepolomoka ile mbaya na ndo maana shillingi inafata mkondo. Hapa sikubaliani na wewe. Mfano halisi ni wakati dola iliposhuka pesa yetu haikupanda ,hivyo inabidi pesa yetu ianze kulindwa na dola na siyo Euro kwani hapo mbeleni Europe patakuwa na matatizo mengi kiasi kwamba kila nchi itabidi warudi kwenye pesa zao za zamani. Dolla ndo baba wa pesa zote.
ReplyDeletemashaka seems na wewe huelewi vizuri how foreign exchanges works na kukusaidia tuu naomba uelewe kuanguka kwa shillings sasa hivi has nothing to do with our economy or any internal factor within TZ,its across the board American dollar is getting stronger kutokana na European crisis na economy insecurity(globally),naomba mjue siku zote Economy inapokuwa mbaya duniani investors wengi wanadump markets zote na kukimbilia US$ ndio maana inaitwa safe heaven,uchumi wa dunia(sio TZ) ukirudi dola itaanguka tena na currency nyingine zote zitapanda thamani,na sio lazima kwa sababu shilingi imeanguka ni kitu kibaya kwa uchumi wetu,weak shillings ni nzuri sana kwa exporters na mbaya kwa importers ndio maana China wana prefer their currency iwe weak siku zote na ndio maana wanagombana sana na US,anyway hata hivyo foreign exchange ni more complex kuliko inavyoonekana ila mkichukua muda kusoma kidogo tuu mtaelewa ila muache kufikiria siku zote weak currency means bad economy or bad for the country.

ReplyDeleteIt is very concerning to see our currency drop so sharply, but it was a situation in the making for a while now
ReplyDelete1) The use of foreign currency in our domestic economy should be discouraged as it builds up demand for foreign currency and ignores our own.
(If there is no demand for the Tshs even in Tanzania, where will it be demanded??)
All major businesses within the country conduct operations in USD, for instance Hotels, Airlines, etc. This should be discouraged and if possible banned. Domestic institutions don't need to use foreign currency for domestic operations!!
2) Import taxes should be increased to discourage importation. Especially for products which can be locally produced. If sale of domestic products increases even internally it will give growth opportunity for local industries to produce better quality products.
(After all if products are not demanded locally where will they be demanded?)
3.Local industries should be given some forms of tax relief to encourage domestic production.
4. Policies need to be put in place to regulate prices, as it was done during the fuel price crisis about 2 years ago, except the gov't should enforce these policies and ensure local industries don't take advantage and sell products at ridiculous prices as this will take us back to the initial situation.
(Local spending needs to be stimulated, and this needs to be done in the manner of buying local goods with local currency, but it can only be encouraged if there is affordability.)
5)Exports of local products need to be encouraged even if it means reducing taxes but also bear in mind that while export increases industries often neglect domestic market, this needs to be monitored to ensure there is fair export as well as domestic market.
Usage of local currencies needs to be greatly emphasized in all sectors of the economy especially tourism which is one of our major economy boosters! tourists need to pay in Tshs when visiting the country and stop spending in dollars in order to create demand for local currency.
Its high time the gov't should intervene and place necessary procedures to reverse this decline and save our national currency. The Tshs is a symbol of our sovereignty, there wouldn't be much of a gov't without it!!!
From a Patriotic Tanzanian
Uchumi wa nchi nyingine umeanguka as due to the recession but as major economies are pulling out of the recession so are their currencies, the GBP was 2140 when it was doing better,just a few months ago, now at its worst due to the (just ended) elections its 2195 compared to the tshs, i would imagine it shouldve been at 2120 or even 2100 flat to the shs....
ReplyDeleteNi kweli USD inapanda thamani kwa kasi due to the speedy recovery of the US economy but hata when we check against the euro and other currencies, thamani ya tshs imeanguka
Mdau
He is still learning.
ReplyDeleteKuanguka kwa shilling has nothing to do with Tanzania economy, the Euro has dropped massively against the Dollar, due to Fiscal crisis facing the European countries, ie Greece, Spain, Italy and others.
Forget about Mashaka John or Dr. Shayo, but here is what touching us. It is simple US$1 vs Tshs.1495, this is what Mashaka hits at. Do you think it is fair or you just don't care? I know most of us we have managed to visit Michuzi blog because we have surplus in our pocket that makes us not even feeling the hidden costs of visiting this blog, so free fall of our shilling does not bother us. I agree with Mashaka, that something should be done immediately to rescue us from this bad omen to our economy. This dollar/shilling exchange will start to be seen when the oil price spurt, next it will be bus fares, commodities and other basic needs, then it will be strikes and conflicts in various work places. The next thing will be decrease in commodities and from here you all know what next!.People are forgetting that we are doing most of our import/export trade using US dollar compared to other currencies.So if shilling fall against US$, then our economy has to respond accordingly.
ReplyDeleteSo i think the only cure is you Tanzanians, with kitambulisho chako cha kupigia kura, we can get rid of this free fall of our economy, because those,who we thought they could lead us to maisha bora kwa kila Mtanzania are now good worshipers of Ufisadi na umimi. We need to try another breed, these ones can't dance in our rhythm. That is it.
Ni uchaguzi unaokuja Oktoba Tanzania ndio unaoleta mdororo wa kiuchumi na kuanguka kwa shillingi ya Tanzania full stop.

ReplyDeleteMdau(JP morgan)
U have a Fair point JP Morgan, i second ur opinion, however a weak foreign exchange is not completely dissociated from a country's economical status. A weak currency can be damaging to an economy if they don't regulate enough exports, that is to say if there isn't a high enough demand for exports from that particular country. China is just one of the few successful examples. It is true the dollar has been getting stronger, but what is the excuse for other countries such as Great Britain which have been falling against the dollar in terms of foreign exchange rate to a low 1.45 figure as compared to 1.6 during the last quater of 2009 yet have been rising against the Tshs?? to 2195Tshs as compared to the 2130Tshs earlier this year? (putting into consideration this is an economy that hasn't been doing too well earlier this year due to dwindling investments amid fears of government change)

Keep on fighting for the common man, I am a college teacher but barely make ends meet. I cant even buy my own clothes due to the tough budget constranitns, and now with the inflation looming, I have no clue when is in the store for me. Mr. Mashaka, I only pray that we can meet one day and shake your hands, and say thank you. You have touched my heart with the example of a teacher who could not purchase one kilogram of sugar, God bless you, I thought you were talking about me
Le john mashaka, kaamsha uzalendo wangu, nimekubali na maswali yote nilikuwa najiuliza ameyajibu.. Hali ya uchumi ni mbaya sana nchini kwetu, wanaoishi nje pngine hwalijui hilo, ila hali inatisha na Sioni haja ya mashaka kuzidi kuishi marekani, inabidi arudi nyumbani, ikishindikana afanye kazi na gavana ben ndulu, au mkulo.

Huyu atafaa sana hasa katika mijadala na wakuu wa mashirika ya makubwa ya dunia
ReplyDeleteI am must agree that Saint John Mashaka, is always good at raising controversial issues many of us are scared of touching. the discussion on social welfare and ageing is picking up and it is moving deep to informal from informal sector and unavailing gender consideration aspects. As a moderator I will like to pick key messages for informing policy but am afraid most of the discussions are in a vicious cycle of sharing experiences and importance of inclusion certain group or sector without linking to the national policy on ageing. I encourage members to go further breaking the vicious cycle by providing policy recommendation statements and how to implement it. Policy makers are convinced if they are provided with scenarios of policy recommendation.Having saying that there are really good points raised regarding inclusion of informal sector in pension schemes. The contribution of this sector to employment is nearly 75% of the active population. Most of their activities are outside the tax system and tend to be mobile including some of their assets. How can they be administered for a sustainable social security scheme? What policy prescription can be written to policy makers? can someone provide a best practice from elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteI also found a point about gender consideration where a pension scheme for women was suggested. This is real an interesting point due to the contribution of the women in economic development. About 60% of agriculture labors are women and they perform 90% of all farm works yet majorities are poor. When they reach at old age they become even more vulnerable and insecure. Now how can pension scheme be designed to capture these hard working women? What policy prescription can be advanced to policy makers? Is there any best practice from elsewhere?I have also noted the discussion do not feature in strategic interventions in pension industry. Previously I asked your opinion regarding the recommendation given to the government from IFM to establish a regulatory board to oversee operations of pension schemes in the country. I have some policy provoking questions that I would like your opinions and possibly policy prescriptions. According to Integrated Labor Survey Report 66% of urban population work in informal sector and 84% of rural population primary activities are in informal sector. Despite there is small segment of population working in the formal sector, why there are many pension schemes? And how do this pension institutions manage to survive and invest? It should be known that pension schemes take percentage of their member’s salary. This means some percentage of the money circulation within the economy is retained. And if re-invested it results into delay payments to beneficiaries until investment yield profit. The question is how should this pension schemes be regulated to avoid interference with money circulation and delayed payments to beneficiaries? I will appreciate if I will be able to receive examples in other countries indicating the number of pension schemes operating in comparison to economic indicators such as number of people employed in formal sector, rate of economic growth, employement by sector, etc (as you see relevant). This is important for recommending issues that can be regulated by the pension scheme board envisaged to be established. This will help us to make strategic recommendations to the pension scheme industry in the country.
Watu wengine akili zao sijui ni ujinga au makamasi zaidi, hili swala nimelijibu wiki jana, na nina rudia, kama atasikia na asikie na kama hataki wala sitajisumbua tena. sidhani kwamba mashaka john analipwa $5.75 kwa saa, kwa sababu gani, mwaka 2008 nikiwa naongea narafiki yangu mmoja hapa marekani ambaye alikuwa akifanya kazi kwenye kampuni inayotwa Goldman Sachs. Huyu kijana ana umri wa miaka 29 na alikuwa analipwa USD 350,000 kwa mwaka nje ya marupurupu. Kwa maana hiyo namaanisha ya kwamba Investment Bankers ndio watu wanaolipwa sana zaidi ya profeshonal players. Mishaara ya hawa jamaa inaanzia USD $250,000 hadi USD $475,000 pia inategemea cheo chako.Kwa hiyo wanapoongezea bonus, inaweza kuwa hata mara mbili au mara tatu ya mshaara wa mtu, ila kodi wanayolipa ni kubwa sana kulinganisha na mtu wa kawaida, kuna baadhi yao hao vijana wadogo wanaoopoa mamilioni. ukiangalia NY, wanaoendesha magari mazuri sana ni hao bankers. Wanakatwa kodi ya mapato 37% na Bonues 45% ila hiyo hela bado ni nyingi sana. Mabenki makubwa kama GoldMan Sach, JP Morgan, Bank of America, Wachovia na CITI wanatoa mishaara mikubwa sana. Hawa jamaa hela zao siyo kwamba wanaziokota, hapana wanafanya kazi kweli. Kwa wastani wanafanya kazi masaaa karibia 13 kwa siku. Hawakai nyumbani, mara nyingi ni watu wanaozunguka ndani na nje ya nchi na hata hizo hela nyingi wanazolipwa hawaoni faida zake kwa maana ni watu ambao wako kwenye stress muda wote na ni walevi mno kutokana na kazi hasa kushugulika na dili kubwa zenye thamani ya mamimillioni, ila kama unataka kula hela zake. Kwa maana hiyo sioni shida mashaka kwenda tanzania kila mara, mfuko unamruhusu. Hata kama hana Range-rover Vogue, sidhani kwamba anashindwa, nadhani hataki tu. Swla la ranchi la billioni hilo silijui na sidhani anaweza kushindwa au ni hela za wizi, hizo ni hela zake na jasho lake. eniwei, kwa kifupi sidhani analipwa Dola $5.75 kwa saa unless nimednganyika, ila kama ni hio hela, asingeweza hata kwenda na kurudi kwa sababu nauli ni kubwa na maisha ya marekani kwa hela hiyo hauwezi kutunza hata $100 kwa mwezi

Rhetoric without substance,is what john mashaka can do better. he has an upper hand against his opponents as far as that is concerned, but when i comes to substance, ZERO. Mashaka there you go again American puppet. US-Blogger wants you to have a Radio DEBATE; this boy does not know anything but copy and paste. This article featured in TIMES-MAGAZINE. I requested him to debate me, he refused and now emerging with some piece of crap which have no substance or anything new. I see his supporters in full gear praising some American puppet.Tanzanian’s you must wake up and see what is ahead of you instead of being blind flowing Mashaka so irresponsibly.
ReplyDeleteYou must be people of low IQ’s not to see there is nothing new here. I can write ten times better and high quality material than this. Bring him on and you will see how I will crush him in debateMashaka is not a Samaritan he is just an opportunist like any other politician, and being an Investment Banker does not make him a god.They are the people who broke the world economics and you are now praising im????????????????????????????

Nyumba tayari ninayo biashara nyingi ninzao mashaka wangu wala hatoangaika kamwe. Kwanza hii itamrahisishia ,Mashaka kazi. nimefol kwenye lavu davu naye, kwani nani asopenda mambo mazuri kama haya??, lol !!! michuzi mnijibu, ----toto la masaki, geti kali
ReplyDeleteThe tribalist guy (Paulo Kamau)from Kenya is obviously mentally deranged, a good part of his brain is nonfunctional, his tribal views originates from the spinal cord and therefore not useful for consuption. His tribal views reflects the primitive kenyan society (TRIBALISM.
ReplyDeleteManeno ya mdau mmoja hapo nyuma, Wote mnao piga makofi na kushabikia kuhusu Mashaka hamjui ukweli wake, Mashaka ni kama ifuatavyo:
ReplyDelete1: Yeye ni mwanasiasa kama walivyo wengine.hapa anajisafishia ikulu 2015
2: Yeye anajitafutia njia ambayo atakayo weze kufanya atakavyo mkisha lewa na jina na yote anayo andika alafu muweze kumchagua.leo naona wajinga Fulani wanamuita nabii, kesho watamuita yesu na kuanza kumsujudu ata kiiba mali za nchi yetu tukufu
3: Kama kweli mashaka ni mzalendo, anaye penda Tanzania, Utamaduni, na lugha yake basi Mashaka angeweza kuandika mawazo yake kwa kiswahili na kuweza umma kumsikia na kumuelewa, lakini cha kushangaza huyu huyu Mashaka pamoja na wengineo (Wajanja) wana andika kwa kiingereza na kuficha ukweli kwa jamii inayo fikia milioni 40 ambapo karibia nusu yake haijui kiingereza (Napenda muelewe siitukani wala kudharau jamii bali nazungumza ukweli na uwazi).
4: Mashaka pamoja wenzake wote wanao andika kwa mawazo yao kwa kiingereza ni wale wale wanao weza kunyamazishwa kwa kupewa pesa kama wanasiasa wengine ninao wajua (Nina uhakika Mashaka anaweza kuwekwa kapuni kwa kupewa chini ya milioni 100 bure bila ya kutoa jasho na akakaa kimya na usimuone kabisa tena hapa kama wanasiasa wengine).
5: Tatizo na chanzo cha umasikini wa nchi yetu Tanzania na Afrika kwa ujumla wote tunajua, Hivyo basi Umasikini huu tunao ujua hauwezi kamwe kuondoka eti kisa kwa watu wachache kama kina mashaka kukaa chini wakiwa eidha Ulaya au amerika na kuweza kuandika mawazo yao ambayo kila siku ni yale yale kwa kiingereza chao. Tunataka Vitendo.
6: Cha kuweza kujiuliza ni Kwamba, Mashaka na wenzake wamefanya nini katika kutokomeza umasikini, kuendeleza maendeleo, kusaidia wasio jiweza ndani ya Tanzania? Na kama wamefanya hivyo ni katika kiwango gani? Je katika mtazamo wa kuindoa Tanzania na Watanzania katika Umasikini au Katika kujitengenezea jina ndani ya Jamii na kuweza kufanya yale yale Kama Viongozi wetu wanavyo fanya?
7: Wengi walikuwepo kabla ya kina Mashaka na wenzao ndani ya Tanzania, Sasa hatutaki kupoteza muda katika kujionesha ya kwamba mnajua kiingereza mbele ya Jamii, Mpo Ulaya au Amerika, Cha kufanya ni kuweza kusimama kikamilifu pamoja na kwa ukweli mbele ya MUNGU na mbele Ya Taifa na kulipigania kwa uchungu na kuweza kulikomboa katika Umasikini, nk, Ninapo sema kuipigania nchi siimanishi kupigania Vita, bali kwa kufanya kazi kwa bidii kwa Watanzania wote walio nchini na sie wote tulio nje pia na kuweza kuwekeza na kuleta Maendeleo na kusaidia Watanzania wenzetu, Kutokomeza rushwa, maradhi, ujinga na kuwezesha kila kizazi chetu kinapata elimu maana Tanzania yenye nguvu ni ile itakayo kuwa na Uchumi bora na yenye kujitegemea (na sio nusu ya bajeti yetu inadhaminiwa na wahisani na kuomba kuomba kila siku), Yenye jeshi lililo la kisasa, nguvu na wanajeshi wake kuwa na elimu na vifaa vya kisasa, Tanzania yenye Amani, Upendo, elimu, n.k. Pia inapofika siku ya Uchaguzi, Watanzania wote kuweza kuchagua Kiongozi mwenye sifa na uwezo wa kuendesha nchi na Watanzania kwa ujumla.
8: Cha kushangaza mpaka sasa sioni chochote kina mashaka wakifanya bali ya kuona mikwaruzo baina yao na kujenga Matabaka, Wengine wanataka debate! Debate ya nini??? Ni kupoteza muda! Cha Msingi mseme ya kwamba mkutane katika kuona ni jinsi gani nyie kama Raia wa Tanzania mtaweza kuendeleza Taifa. Mnatakiwa muweze kukua kiakili na mawazo, mnatakiwa muelewe ya kwamba tumepoteza miaka 48 mpaka sasa na hakuna maendeleo yoyote na hatuwezi kupoteza ata siku moja zaidi katika kurumbana kuhusu shida na matatizo ya Taifa letu ambayo Matatizo yote yaliyopo tunajua na Vyanzo vyake tunavijua pia.
Mashaka na wengie mnatakiwa kuamka.
Mungu Ibariki Tanzania, Watanzania, Afrika na Dunia nzima.
John mashaka nadhani ushauri mzuri sana uliupta toka kwa nabii tito. anzisha kanisa Kama la kakobe au Kama lile la nabii Tito ili siye walevi tupate kanisa mbadala
ReplyDeleteunaowafuasi wa kutosha kuanzisha hata chama cha kisiasa na uishinde CCM na chadema kwa sababu sera unazo A kuweza kukiiza chama siye washabiki tutakuwa wapiga debe
mfalme wa wayahudi nadhani ujumbe umefika. sasa kwa nini siye walevi tunatoswa wakati tuna njia mbadala??? kanisa tu linatosha na ikiwa halina masharti, hela zitamwagwa kama pumba nakwambia
sadaka kanisani zitatosha , waumini tuko wengi

Mashaka, harusi lini? Naona kimwana na bonge la Harrier??ikiwa michuzi ataniruhusu, basi nitaanzisha mjadala kuhusu huu UGONJWA WA WIVU, WIVU, WIVU WIVU. huu wivu ni dhahiri sana joni mashaka au hasheem thabeet wakitundikwa kwenye globu. jamana wenzetu wamejitahidi na pengine wamepigika sana kufikia hapo walipo, badala y kuwa support, mara nyingi tunajaribu kuwaangusha. tena vibaba vizima ndo viko mbele kuwapiga majunguMashaka usije kulewa na umaarufu kama zitto kabwe, anayekula kuku na mrija kwenye hoteli ujerumani, na hela za wakina nanihii wa buzwagi
ReplyDeleteKabla ya ,mashaka kuja malekani, alikuwa housi boi wetu, alikuwa naosha vogue ya baba yangu kwenye nyumba yetu nyingine pale masaki. Mimi ndo niliyemvuta kuja malekani, nikamtafutia kazi ya ulinzi kwenye supermarket pale NY, na mshahara wake ni $5.75 kwa saa kwa hyio mnayobisha mniulizeni vizuri, nikamtafutia na demu moja mrembo sana pale h-towni. Mashaka hana lolote mimi kwa vile ameniuzi, namrusisha Tanzania kwa sababu ni mkulima, yaani motto wa masikini. Bila sisi asingefika hapa alipo sasa hivi, yaani mimi hapa marekani nina maisha mazuri sana, ninaowafanya kazi watatu wanaonihudumia. Kwa hiyo msibabaishwe na nabii, hana lolote kabisa, choka mbaya. Yale magari ya benzi aloyonayo ni zangu ndo anazilinda kwenye nyumba yangu nyingine. Mie niko juu hata hii meseji natuma kutoka kwenye iphone yangu ya $700/= kwa hiyo wakina mashaka wakiniona wanaunywea, kwa hiyo hacheni kumsifia mtu pasipo stahili
ReplyDeleteNyinyi watu wa TZ, ni watu wajinga sana, kama inyi mnapenda raha, kuriko kazi, razima muwambiwe ukweri arafu munakasirika. watu wenyu nyingi wanapenda vitu vizuri shana rakini kazi hawataki kufanya

ReplyDeletekipaji hakiwezi kufichwa kwenye kivuli cha elimu, ila elimu kinaweza kukikuza kipaji. wanaobisha uwezo wa mashaka ni wajinga. Huyu kijana ni mzalendo nambwa wani, na kama ni kura nitakuja Tanzania ili kukupigia kura kwenda ikulu. Aisee, safi sana, hili swala linahitaji umakini wa hali ya juu,
ReplyDeleteSasa wewe nanihii, mbona kama ulikataliwa uendekeze chuki dhidi ya mtu? mara ngapi ulikuwa unamsifia mashaka aulipokuwa unamtaka, baada ya kukataa ukaanza kumponda.grow up, ytote yatakurudia, jaribu kuwa mtu mzima AS. Umeshajulikana na zile posti ulizoweka kwenye facebook, kila mtu kashajua ulijutingia ili kupata umaarufu kutumia jina la mkaka wa watu, hauna maana yoyote. Ucelebrity hautafutwi hivyo, mie nilidhani ulipata wa kutosha kutoka kwenye ze utamu na hizi ni za nini sasa, makubwa mama cha kubimbi

Ingawa wengi wamekuwa wakisema kwamba mashaka siyo mtanzania ni mmarekani, siamini hilo kwa sababu kuna watu wengi wanaomfahamau tangu utotoni kwa hiyo swala la uraia tuweke kando baada ya kugundua uwezo wake kuchambua maswala.
ReplyDeletehuyu inabidi awe changamoto kwa wengi wa vijana wetu. na kama serikali itaweza, basi wangejaribu kumtafuta ili wamtumie kuhamasisha taifa hasa vijana walio ughaibuni katika kuleta mafanikio na tofauti kwenye jamii yetu.
kuna uwezekano wa kumpa nafasi maalum kama balozi wa vijana ili apate kwenda nchi zote waliko watanzania na kuwashawishi warudi nyumbani. Mashaka this is a well written article
Balozi Mashaka, tunakutakia kila la kheri na baraka za mwenyezi Mungu uzidi kuijali na kuitetea taifa letu
Jamani tuache kupotoshwa hapa. Huyu jamaa anayejiita Paulo Kamau (Mkenya) ni mchonganishi. "Fullstop" Alama ya kikomo.
ReplyDeleteMoja sioni sababu ya kujibizana na yeye kwa sababu anajiwakilisha mwenyewe, na hila zake, chukibinafsi na wala siyo kuwakilisha Wakenya kama anavyodai. Tukumbuke kwamba kunawatu wengi wenye kutumia hila na uzalendo wao kwa kutimiza matakwa yao. Mtu kama ni mgomvi asiingize uraia. Kwani Mgovi au mtu mwenye hila ni mwenye hila tu awe Mkenya, Mtanzania au Mmarekani. Tujadili mada na wala tusiwajadili hawa jamaa wanaopotosha watu. Kuwatukana ni kujishusha katika viwango vyao... "Ukijibizana na pumbavu ni vigumu kujua pumbavu ni nani" Au mnasemaje wadau?

There are many models to explain this phenomenal of currency crisis and some make sense and some don't make sense. Find out what you like and take it or leave it. If there is no sufficient evidence to prove the model is robust for explaining the crisis, then reject the model. Others things are garbage, I strongly urge readers to beware, there are a lot of people who don't know what they are talking about. They may claim that they know while they don't really know shit. Don't argue with a fool, you'll be a fool too!! Don't let others throw their garbage to you. I'm spitting cuz I'm sick of this nonsense about fake experts.
ReplyDeleteMdau, USA.
After all has been said and done, my fellow TZ citizens, remember that our currency is PEGGED TO THE US DOLLAR!!! That is the naked truth. As European other countries' economies struggle with their debts, the US Dollar will get stronger hence becoming a safe haven for investors. And as such people will demand to buy the US Dollar to minimize the risk that our currency carries. Also all the foreigners keep or repatriate their earnings outside our borders.
ReplyDeleteNa huyo mkenya Paulo Kamau aache upumbavu wake. Asidhani kuongea English ndio usomi au uelevu. Wakenya hawana lolote ila ni hicho Kiingereza lakini wape kazi utaona wanaanza ubabaishaji. Na nina diriki kusema hii ni blanket statement kwao wote!
