When a secondary school student becomes intelligent than a regional commissioner (a president appointee)

There is an ongoing discussion in Tanzania after secondary school students are protesting against the increase of bus fare for their school for more fifty percent. Firstly the primary and secondary school students protested to the regional commissioner’s office to tell him the truth that the amount added is unaffordable for them. In the first place, police with bats and water cannons invaded the peaceful protests led by young stars themselves where some where injured and some were caught to police for more prob. Few days later there was a meeting between Dar es Salaam regional commissioner, Abbas Kandoro with students trying to find the accord. The regional commissioner confidently told journalists that the fare raise will remain constant but students should not be left at the bus stations and they must occupy seats in the bus. The leader of secondary student union, a young guy proved to be intelligent than the regional commissioner when he raised the issue that, bus conductors will keep on avoiding students for their fair is low comparing to none student passengers and hence the bus drivers are after profit. The regional commissioner discussed without realizing that side of the coin, so young students might be wise and intelligent than some older leaders like the Dar es Salaam’s regional commissioner who is a direct presidential appointee! Young and intelligent! Bravo
