He said boasting that, it was CHADEMA which had the audacity in Parliament to speak on behalf of the people in the country, despite of having low numbers of both appointed and elected legislators. However, he said that CHADEMA’s policies stands for the rights of people’s problems and other social and economic grievances currently facing the majority of the low income earners in the country. He wonders as to why the government led by the ruling CCM does not take any interest to rectify the alarming situation in order to save its people over the issue, and in view of this, he has asked CHADEMA’s legislators to take on the responsibility to ward off such grievances in parliamentary debate sessions. He wondered about the recent appointment of the new cabinet ministers after the reshuffle made by President Kikwete saying that it had many ministers, saying that, that by having such a great number of ministers in the country was to increase unnecessary expenditure an aspect that is a misuse of people’s taxes. He has blamed the government for increasing the price of kerosene without noticing that the commodity is being used by people in rural areas who covers the majority of the country’s population. He has dismissed the reasons earlier issued by the government after it had increased the price when it said that, it was done on pretext to defend diesel which was being adulterated into higher percentage rate. However, “that should have not been the reason” he said, adding that, it was not the way of defending people’s rights in anyway.
