How Arusha decleration leadership ethics affect Tanzania development?.
Arusha decleration passed on January 29th, 1967 in Arusha
city under first president of Tanzania Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere who
summarized Tanzanians commitment to socialism and self reliance. The document
was originally written by Julius Nyerere who served as the first president of state
from British colonialism between 1961 up to 1985. The Tanganyika African national
union (TANU) the major political party before
and after the independence helped to establishment of principles which guided
the decleration. In the early of 1980 there are some capitalists in Tanzania
who challenged the document supporting a decleration emphasis self reliance,
frugality and self danial. The concept of ujamaa was the center piece of the social
and economic growth program where by declaration also included a leadership
code to promote equality which leaders to shaped into ethics
Ethics as the branch of knowledge that deals with the moral
principles or is the moral principles that govern a personal behavior or
conducting of an activity.
Arusha decleration of 1967 leadership ethics affect Tanzania
development due to the following ways.
Arusha decleration leadership ethics influences major means
of production to be under control of peasant and worker. In case of land,
forests, transport and communication network, banks have owned by peasants and
leaders through their ethics guided they should follow this approach. Therefore
through major means of production to be under peasants influences national
development because situation lead majority to engage into Agro business which
became agents of basic needs to the families like as food, shelter and clothes
because of income gained also forest become source of tourism within the state
which lead foreign income. Therefore without Arusha decleration may be major means of production would be under control
of minority
Arusha decleration lead absence of exploration, due to
Arusha decleration announced self reliance for every man and no need of exploitation
because all human being are equal and no one above the law this situation lead
leaders to promote ethics of democracy on the working areas and to swept a way issues
which are relating to exploitation like receiving corruption. Therefore through
ethics of leadership to swept away exploitation of man by man it promotes internal
development of the state
Arusha decleration realized that any government leader
should be no way to associate with capitalism or feudalism, this situation promoted
ethics to the leadership system within the state leaders were and have working
hard rather than depends on the peoples ( peasants) or they uses their salary to
control their daily lives like buying Of basic needs such as food, shelter and
clothes also to use their salaries to buy their own land which brings escaping
feudalism system but before Arusha decleration since 1961 there are some
leaders who administrating state through capitalist theories like power monger,
exploitation of the natural resources and monopoly of the land and number of corrupt
government workers increased which lead Tanzania to under go underdevelopment
but since 1980 even there a some people who have just to oppose Nyerere
document of Arusha decleration due to they on moment of capitalism but they
failed and joined together at Nyerere's principles of self reliance so all
leaders become into ethics of self reliance which promotes national development.
Arusha decleration brings idea of human have the right to own
properties. Like farm, house, shop, motovehicles like bus, car but through
personal efforts if leaders may got those properties through using public
material like minerals or through any kind of corruption the properties should
be nationarizing ( under control of government)
this situation promotes leaders ethics due to they uses there own salary
for gain those properties without engagingly on negative issues to national properties
also if they get holiday in case of teachers high number of them engages on
agriculture which promotes national development. Therefore Arusha decleration to the side of
leadership through every body to have ability of owning properties shaped them
into ethics of respective any individual materials like hotels, farm which
brings National and individually development.
Through Arusha decleration it brings ethics to democracy,
since 1980 government becomes of the people to the people by the people where
by every things conducted on goverenment offices become transparencies and leaders
were accountability which influences in 1992 Tanzania state to adapt multiparty
system election so emphersis democracy within the state. This situation
promotes leaders ethics due to they working by respective, like improving
social services such as school, hospital, water service, transportation network
such as roads because after five years all members of parliament and president
engage into general election for votes so if they done poor matters during
their administration they will follow down. So Arusha decleration through promotion
of democracy ethics to the administration system brings National development.
Arusha decleration through the concept of socialism beliefs
all human beings are equally even a leaders. This documentary brings ethics to
a leadership system because approach refuse leaders to harassmenting others who
are not in power this situation bring personal struggles for his or her own
development without interaction with government officers which brings
development within our nation of Tanzania.
Therefore, Tanzania
leadership ethics contrribute more in the development of the country due to the
fact that it play a major role in developing this countries like the abolition
of certain programme which undermine our development, also to introduce many issues
which until today fight for our development from small level up to the high
level so this seems to undergo rapid development in Tanzania.
