In Summary
CCM viewed as being afraid of losing ruling
party status clout The ruling party is seen by some as an entity that,
having been in power for a long period, is afraid of the proposed
three-tier system because it may weaken its influence and power base

It is wrong for CCM to cling on the two-government system.
The ruling party appears to be slow in abandoning
the old system which may no longer be favoured by some Tanzanians. In my
opinion, three governments should suit the new arrangement under the
proposed new Mother Law.

CCM is right to stick to the two governments. We
don’t need three governments because they would add another burden to
tax payers.
It is even better to opt for one Union government
rather than three administrations as touted by some opposition parties. I
am also worried over conflicts of interest if the three governments are
allowed.
Leoma Simon, Haydom Village, Mbulu
Three governments should be the option under the New Constitution.
The issue here is to have a separate government
for the Mainland (Tanganyika), the Union government and another one for
Zanzibar. Under the current set-up, the Mainland has no government
because the Union government does not necessarily cater for the
interests of the Mainlanders.

Three governments system will have its problems. We are already having difficulties with the two governments.
