    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not know that Sen. Lonyangapuo was a professor of religious studies. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that the message and spirit of the new Constitution is that we move away from imperial presidency, we should also move away from other smaller imperial presidents even at the village level. At one time in Washington DC, I was waiting for a taxi and immediately I flagged one down and got in, a well built person came and knocked at the door. He asked me whether he could share the taxi with me. I said that there was no problem with that. He came in and in the process, asked me whether I spoke Kiswahili and I said: “Yes.” It turned out that it was the American Ambassador to Tanzania and he came in so that we should share the fare. This did not reduce the status of the man, because in the process of our drive, we had a very nice chat about the politics of Tanzania; whether Ujamaa had really penetrated the village or it was an elite thing. I was very impressed by that person. I think that this is the leadership that we should be looking for. These days, we are talking about servant leadership; that the greatest leader is the greatest servant of the people. I think that this is what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is trying to do in a small way through this Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even if you fly a flag and then people know that you are a bankrupt leader; you do not even care about the people, you will not have any respect. But even if you walk on foot – and President Nyerere did not have a mansion by the time"
