The African Presidential Roundtable of former presidents and Heads of State that met in Dar es Salaam for two days last week, brought to the fore the importance of respecting, utilizing and honoring all retired people in the interest of progress and to avoid unnecessary national mistakes.

Among participants of the roundtable were Tanzania's retired presidents Ali Hassan Mwinyi, Benjamin Mkapa and former Premier Frederick Sumaye, Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, John Kufour of Ghana, former Premier of Mozambique - Luisa Diogo, Antonio Monteerio of Cape Verde and former president of Mauritius Karl Auguste Offman.

The forum was convened by the African Presidential Archives and Research Centre of Boston University, headed by former US Ambassador to Tanzania, Rev Charles Stith.

These distinguished retirees met to brain storm and advise governments on the importance of land reforms to ensure its distribution and ownership in a transparent and corruption-free environment, in order to empower their people for economic progress.

Their recommendations should be heard and seriously taken into consideration | More »
