Did they work for us? Assessing two years of Bunge data 2010-2012 1. Introduction The ninth session of the Bunge (Parliament) was adjourned on 9 November 2012, two years since the commencement of the first session on 9 November 2010 following the general election. These Bunge sessions have been broadcast through private and public TV stations allowing citizens to follow their representatives’ actions. Another source of information regarding MP performance is provided by the Parliamentary On-line Information System (POLIS) posted on the Tanzania Parliament website (www.bunge.go.tz) An important question for any citizen is: how did my MP represent my interests in Parliament? One way to assess performance of MPs is to look at the number of interventions they make in Bunge. MPs can make three types of interventions: they can ask basic questions submitted in advance; they can add supplementary questions after basic questions have been answered by the government; or they can makecontributions during the budget sessions, law amendments or discussions on new laws. This brief presents six facts on the performance of MPs, from November 2010 to November 2012, updating similar analyses conducted by Twaweza in previous years. It includes an assessment of who were the least and most active MPs. It also raises questions on the significance of education level when it comes to effectiveness of participation by MPs in parliament. The dataset can be downloaded from www.twaweza.org/go/bunge2010-2012 The Bunge dataset includes observations on 351 members: MPs who were elected and served (233), MPs in Special Seats (102), Presidential Appointees (10) and those from the Zanzibar House of Representatives (5) and the Attorney General. For this brief, we exclude seven members from the analysis: the parliamentary officials (Speaker, Deputy This brief was produced by Twaweza housed at Hivos Tanzania P.O.Box 38342, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

John Mnyika, Hon. Tundu Lissu and Hon. Zitto Kabwe, also of Chadema, made the list of the top five most active MPs. Hon. Diana Chilolo of CCM was also among the top five most active MPs. Fact 6: Hon. Mohammed Said Mohammed was the least active MP Using the same approach, Hon. Mohamed Said Mohamed of CCM was found to be the least active MP out of all ‘ordinary’ MPs. He is the only MP in Parliament who reportedly did not make a single intervention in the two years covered by this brief, according to the POLIS records. The other members who were least active were also from CCM, as shown in Table 3 below. Table 3: Least active MPs in the Parliament Hon. Hon. Edward Hon. Mahadhi Hon. Hon.

Conclusion The information in this brief was retrieved from the publicly accessible Parliamentary On- line Information System (POLIS) and has been used to assess the level of participation by Members of Parliament in the first nine sessions (two years) of the Eighth Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania. The most active MPs tended to come from the opposition, and the least active were from the ruling CCM party. Perhaps this is no surprise, since one of the roles of Parliament is to hold the executive in check. Another factor at play here is that, for any given national level agenda item to be discussed in Bunge, large parties have more candidates to take the word and so the average number of interventions per large party MP will be lower. However, for policy questions at the constituency level this is not the case. This raises questions about the effectiveness of representation of constituency interests in Parliament. 5 The method used in this assessment, number of interventions in Bunge, is only one indicator of MP performance. Follow-up to questions or issues is not considered, nor roles that MPs can play serving in parliamentary committees. Perhaps a more valued role may be how MPs engage with citizens in their constituencies, influencing ‘projects’ and funds to be channeled in their areas and taking actions to solve problems. As of yet we do not know of an effective way to measure such performance, but we welcome your ideas. This brief also assesses active participation by education levels. It may be useful to study other relationships, such as wealth levels.

Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli President of the United Republic of Tanzania “Statistics are very vital in the development of any country particularly when they are of good quality since they enable government to understand the needs of its people, set goals and formulate development programmes and monitor their implementation” H.E. Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli the President of the United Republic of Tanzania at the foundation stone-laying ceremony for the new NBS offices in Dodoma December, 2017. What is the importance of statistics in your daily life? “Statistical information is very important as it helps a person to do things in an organizational way with greater precision unlike when one does not have. In my business, for example, statistics help me know where I can get raw materials, get to know the number of my customers and help me prepare products accordingly. Indeed, the numbers show the trend of my business which allows me to predict the future. My customers are both locals and foreigners who yearly visit the region. In June every year, I gather information from various institutions which receive foreign visitors here in Dodoma. With estimated number of visitors in hand, it gives me ample time to prepare products for my clients’ satisfaction. In terms of my daily life, Statistics help me in understanding my daily household needs hence make proper expenditures.” Mr. Kulwa James Zimba, Artist, Sixth street Dodoma.”. What is the importance of statistics in your daily life? “Statistical Data is useful for development at family as well as national level because without statistics one cannot plan and implement development plans properly.

It could be described as a huge ‘cleansing’ operation in which the main features include: a drive to eliminate corruption (in response to widespread demands from the electorate during the November 2015 elections); a cutting out of elements of low priority in the expenditure of government funds; and a better work ethic amongst government employees. The President has changed so many policies and practices since tak- ing office in November 2015 that it is difficult for a small journal like ‘Tanzanian Affairs’ to cover them adequately. He is, of course, operat- ing through, and with the help of ministers, regional commissioners and cover photo: The new Nyerere Bridge in Dar es Salaam (see Transport) Magufuli’s “Cleansing” Operation 3 others, who have been either kept on or brought in as replacements for those removed in various purges of existing personnel.

    Did They Perform? Assessing fi Ve Years of Bunge 2005-2010

    Policy Brief: TZ.11/2010E Did they perform? Assessing fi ve years of Bunge 2005-2010 1. Introducti on On July 16th 2010, following the completi on of the 20th session of the Bunge, the President of Tanzania dissolved the 9th Parliament. This event marked the end of the term for Members of Parliament who were elected during the 2005 general electi ons. Now that the last session has been completed it allows us to look back and to consider how MPs performed during their tenure. Did they parti cipate acti vely and represent their consti tuencies by asking questi ons and making interventi ons, or were they silent backbenchers? The Bunge is the Supreme Legislature of Tanzania. The Bunge grants money for running the administrati on and oversees government programs and plans. The Bunge oversees the acti ons of the Executi ve and serves as watchdog to ensure that government is accountable to its citi zens. To achieve all this, Members of Parliament pass laws, authorize taxati on and scruti nize government policies including proposal for expenditure; and debate major issues of the day. For the Bunge to eff ecti vely carry out its oversight role, acti ve parti cipati on by Members of Parliament is criti cal. MPs can be acti ve by making three kinds of interventi ons: they can ask basic questi ons, they can ask supplementary questi ons and they can make contributi ons during debates. This brief follows earlier briefs, the last of which was released in August 2010. It presents seven facts on the performance of MPs, including rati ng who were the most acti ve and least acti ve MPs.
