Magufuli tactics is a threat to democracy

Tanzania president John Magufuli won with a promise of fighting corruption. He started well by showing up unannounced in different state offices where he demanded answers to spot questions. At first his move was seen as noble, genuine and fair play to the corrupt officials who for ages benefited from the corrupt system.

Moreover, in the instances where the president vacated from his official duties to act as watchdog of his administration turned out to be a bluff that only the likes of Saddam Hussein would approve.
