in parliament and then discussed and not otherwise. "There is a law
declaring a state of emergency, enacted in 1995, this allows the president to
send a motion in parliament to want to declare a state of emergency for a
period not exceeding three months and if Parliament agree, then the president
declares, I advise Magufuli to do that.
He should announce to all Tanzanians
and to the world that this country is in a situation of danger and in an
emergency, and that all meetings will be banned. "When those three months
ended, he should go back to the parliament to request to add others. To do so

talking, criticizing and thoughtful. It is advisable to President Magufuli to
know, this is a democratic country and there is the Constitution and the rules
that everyone must follow, including him, statements of dictatorship from the
President, Minister of the Interior and the police force is contrary to the law
and our Constitution.
