Siku za karibuni kuna miswada
mitatu imepitishwa bungeni kwa hati ya dharura na kuleta taharuki ya kuwa ''nchi
inauzwa', Serikali imeleta miswada mibovu, mafuta yetu na gesi zetu mafisadi
wachache wanataka kunufaika peke yao na kelele nyingi sana.
Swali linalonijia, kwa nini
''hati ya dharura''? na kwa nini wapinzani wasusuie, na wafanye vurugu mswada
usijadiliwe? kwa maoni yangu kuna mambo mawili matatu yamejitokeza.
Kwanza pengine huu mswada una maslahi binafsi na wanaoupitisha ndio manahawajatupa muda wa kuujadili, au Mheshimiwa Rais
anataka akumbukwe kuwa yeye ndio aliyeleta mapinduzi haya yaliyomo kwenye
mswada au haamini atakayemuachia kiti cha Urais kama atakubali mswada huu
upitishwe kama ilivyokuwa kwa awamu zilizopita.
Lakini pia naamini kamwe
Wapinzani wasingekubali kukaa chini kukubali kuujadili ule mswada na kuupitisha
kwa sababu ndani ya mswada ule kuna majibu ya mambo mengi ambayo Wapinzani
wanasema CCM wamefeli na wao wakiingia madarakani watafanya.
Kwa sababu serikali haikutaka
kushirikisha wananchi, walichokifanya wapinzani kimeonekana ni kitendo cha
kishujaa na uzalendo wa hali ya juu.
Najua wengi hamjapata muda wa
kusoma Mswada wa Mafuta na Gesi, vifuatavyo ni baadhi ya vipengele vya mswada
huo nimevikopi bila kuongeza neno ili muangalie kama mswada ni mzuri au mbaya
na kwa nini uharaka wenye mashaka.
