we need to seal loopholes before ratifying the constional review draft.

it's

undisputable fact that the then Judge, Warioba commission has done a beautiful work of monitoring the constitutional review process.
the commission has tried its best to cover the biggest percentage of popular opinions over the new constitution.

however, there is still a big problem which in fact needs to be looked at with an eagle's eye.
The Law in place has given a negative image in this new mother law of the land..the process seems to be overshadowed by politicians which makes it look more political overturning the will of common people.

big as 70+% of the constituent assembly constitutes politician. how should such a constitution be expected to be?

to gain people's trust, the process should include all cadres equally. academicians, civil society groups, politicians and NGOs should participate, even Tanzania Zanzibar should not be left behind since it's the United Republic constitution-it covers Zanzibaris interests in union matters.

I a appeal to HE head of the state not to give his nod consent to the draft before it meets all requisite standards.
