'''MWALIMU JULIUS KAMBARAGE NYERERE.

Julius k. Nyerere was head of state in Tanzania for a consecutive 24 years (1962-1985). He led an active public political life for 46 years (1954-1999). There were two good reasons why the title “Mwalimu” stuck and did capture the mirage of his personality. In the first instance he was trained into the teaching profession. In the second instance he was too good for the profession. He could teach and preach simultaneously to the amusement of his audience. He was as some would say an ideology builder. Mwalimu J.K. Nyerere was a strong believer in human equality and dignity, this belief in human equality and dignity had some permanence throughout his active public political life. His efforts in poverty eradication were driven by an ambition to realize human equality and dignity. His instruments were mainly fiscal policy action in the context of income redistribution through a generous social sector expenditure programmed. If it were not for the inefficient large public sector investments his efforts would have delivered better results. Some of these investments were in terms of military spending in support of the liberation struggle in Africa. The exact amounts may never be known just like the publicity unavailable documentation of the activities of the OAU liberation committee. Mwalimu nyerere was intellectual, scholar and visionary leader, freedom fighter and human rights campaigner. He was also teacher; he articulated his beliefs, ideas and principles as well as the underlining philosophy in clear, elegant and simple manner that has made his exposition of complex issues easily understood by the people of all walks of life (Nyerere 2000). He was also an able statesman. In his practice as a leader his priority among national interest was nation building. These qualities are not an exaggeration. His distinction stems from the high quality of his intellectual and scholarly works. His speeches and writings were not “ephemeral things” that lost that lost meaning soon after the event. There was an underlying permanence. It was that of a theme which was a sort of hub from which the various speeches and writings spread with threats, which ran through joining them together. For although they were delivered to varied audiences over a long time span, during separate occasional and different purposes, the messages idea and position had been the same. The difference has, naturally, been on terminology, idiom, nomenclature and nuances rather than substance, peace unit justice and people centered development of the theme. Up to October 12, 1999 he had given 1681 recorded speeches since 1955. His major achievement in public administration can be assessed in terms of mainly attempt at really income redistribution. Had had the version of an egalitarian society, one, which would have in the cause of time, have overcome poverty. Thus public sector expansion in terms of size of government expenditure in the economic services, health, education and even military spending were means to archive human equality and dignity. He emphasized that land, people, good policies and good leaderships were major factor for development. The large number of public enterprises also reflected a commitment to see positive change by generating format employment. Financial institutions were also geared to save the interest of the poor through a generous landing to cooperative union the financial system was compact and specialized including development banks that’s strive to reach the poor.'''
