Tanzanian MP Joseph Kasheku Musukuma, representing Geita constituency, has been severely criticized by Kenyans after making derogatory remarks about their political maturity and allegations that they have an overwhelming passion for English.
In a widespread video on social networks, Musukuma accused Kenyans of interfering with the Tanzanian interior and mocking their leaders, especially President Samia Suluhu.
He explained that Kenyans are “politically young” and are more focused on speaking English fluently rather than making meaningful progress.
Although the MP stressed that his remarks focused on online activists, Kenyans responded quickly by focusing their eyes on his educational history.
The educational history of Joseph Musukuma
Online analysts dismissed public records from the Parliamentary Information System (Polis), showing that Musukuma had completed only primary education at Fulwe Primary School between 1979 and 1986.
There is no evidence to indicate that he attended a high school or any other higher education institution.

“This man left school after arriving in seventh grade according to parliamentary reports. He has the courage to say they have defeated us politically and educated. He said I am Chege Kwemye X.
Photos that appeared online by TUKO.co.ke showed that some Kenyans decided to take further action by reaching out to the MP directly.
His personal phone number, which had been distributed online, became the target of a joke.
Many used derogatory or ‘greeting’ messages, popularly known as part of an ongoing online conflict.
What are the qualifications for parliament in Tanzania?

However, there are general expectations that candidates should have at least a high school certificate. They are also required to have a university degree from a recognized institution.
On the other hand, Tanzania has the simplest conditions. In accordance with Article 67 (1) (b) of his Constitution, any person 21 years or older may run for parliament. The only requirement is that he can read and write in Swahili or English; Formal certificates are not required.
