{{A Zanzibar minister yesterday said the Constituent Assembly (CA) will likely be a missed opportunity for the welfare of the Union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar.}}<\/p>\n
Justice minister Aboubakar Khamis Bakary (CUF \u2013 House of Representatives), said the Union was bogged down with shortfalls which could be effectively rectified if a treaty-based model would be adopted.<\/p>\n
\u201cMuch as the Constitution Review Commission has proposed a three-tier Union government structure, what we have to do is support it because all we want is development,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
The Union foundation was not adhered to, as most of the decisions were made by only one latent side, namely Tanganyika, he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are about 30 Tanzanian embassies abroad, yet a mere three of the envoys are from Zanzibar\u2026are we not clever enough to hold the posts?\u201d the minister, who doubles as a member of the Constituent Assembly, queried.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot a portion of fertilizer worth Sh10 billion belonging to the Union government was sent to Zanzibar,\u201d lamented the minister, stressing that such shortfalls have to be rectified. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat does the Union government have to do with non-Union matters in the East African integration process when the Zanzibar government is present?\u201d Mr Bakary queried.<\/p>\n
Clauses 4 and 6 of the Articles of the Union implying that Tanzania comprised three separate authorities indicated the intent to have a three-tier merger right from the inception, he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cRemove the coat hiding Tanganyika to vividly show the existing three governments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
