Fierce attacks on government: Is this Lipumba’s new game plan?

What you need to know:

The Cuf leader who has been viewed as dearest of those in power has unimaginably attacked them allegedly for suppressing democracy.

“No longer is the struggle between Lipumba and Hamad but rather between CUF and the ruling CCM. CUF has realised that if it continues with its earlier approach of being friendly to the government it will lose support and thus dies out. They had to choose enemy, which in itself is not an unusual thing in politics,” said Dr Luisulie. Mr Kambaya told The Citizen that being critical of the government is not a new phenomenon, calling it a deep-rooted practice in the culture of the party since its founding. Speaking on the people’s positive reaction of the latest remarks of Prof Lipumba, Mr Kambaya said: “I think it’s just a matter of understanding. If you have been paying attention, you will see that a massive vitriolic propaganda has been directed at Prof [Lipumba] which, unfortunately, some people have believed it and their thinking does not go beyond that.”He said the party is currently continuing with the party’s General Council meetings and some resolutions will be made after it concludes. “After the meeting, we will do as our chairperson has said, that we will, as a part of the strategy to build our party, go to the people and expose the weaknesses in the way the government has been running the country’s affairs. What happened was just the beginning.”
