Abstract
Abstract:This paper deliberates the scenario of managing governments in general and narrows to Tanzania government, specifically the administration of the fourth regime of president of the United Republic of Tanzania, His excellence, JakayaMrishoKikwete. The paper traces the execution of the four regimes of presidency from 1961 to 2015 and makes some examinations on the events and decisions made during these regimes through an eye of a specialist. The study is a review in nature and assimilates qualitative techniques in discussing and analyzing information. Documentation, observation and experiential are the major information collection strategies employed in the study. The paper concludes by setting four propositions: First, that although it is evident that most fabulous practices are manifested during the Kikwete regime yet most of them did not originate from his regime. Secondly, that the revealed evil practices give a signal that the regime of Kikwete was transparent. Third, that the decisions that were made by his regime of accepting resignation of eminent ministers, signals prudence and reliability of the government. Fourth, that the decisions that were taken to revisit the mining contracts out of the main documents suggest courage, brilliance and objectivity of the President in dealing with national matters. Further, that the discussion reveals that observing the four regimes on comparative analysis, the fourth regime, has managed to best intervene on the fundamental problems of the community namely ignorance, disease and poverty. The challenge however, remain to be on improvement in competence based recruitment, promotion and appointment in political and semi-political positions. As noted by gurus of management and governance- the major problem facing the developing countries is not on governance systems but lack of competence based recruitment, appointments and promotion.
