In legalising daladalas, Sokoine was possibly taking a collision course

The country has recently remembered the late Prime Minister Edward Sokoine who died in a motor accident 40 years ago. The President, Dr Samia Suluhu Hassan, graced the Service in memoriam of the fallen leader. She called on her fellow countrymen to remember all the good deeds that the late Sokoine did.

Indeed, a lot has been, and can be, written about this no nonsense leader who died young, when the nation badly needed him In the spirit of this column, many remember how he intervened to see to it that the private sector played its part in solving the urban mass transportation problem that had put the City of Dar es Salaam at ransom, with an overwhelmed public transport system provided by the public sector.
