    "content": "to revert to Kiswahili. For the information of Sen. Sakaja, I was once a teacher of Kiswahili. Some of the students that I taught are now teachers of Kiswahili. I do not have a problem speaking in Kiswahili as much as my variant of Kiswahili is the sheng variant having lived in Nairobi for quite some time. One of the principles of regional integration is specialization and focus. Let us take advantage of our competitive advantages. If Kenya can do well in English, let us do well in English. If Tanzania can do well in Kiswahili, let them do well in Kiswahili. In hailing the historic Address of the Tanzanian Head of State, we may forget where she came from. The late Dr. John Pombe Magufuli, the fourth President of Tanzania who passed on and allowed Mama Samia Suluhu Hassan to take over as the fifth President of Tanzania made a very good decision in picking his Vice President. Many times, when making a decision on running mates; deputy president or deputy governors, most people normally look for the least harmful, least controversial, least effective and least ambitious people to deputise. The late Dr. John Pombe Magufuli having made the decision to have Mama Samia Suluhu Hassan to deputise him, was not looking for someone safe and tame. Now that she has taken over office, we can see that indeed she had the potential and she has the charisma, intellect and vision to ensure that Tanzania becomes a prosperous nation."
