"We want the Government to respect the existing Constitution by not joining the expression of freedom of expression. Advocate of good and evil and to use the views of its citizens in providing sustainable development to Tanzania.

We urge Tanzanians to join in asking the Government to not promote our freedom of speech which exists in accordance with the Constitution. Unless we are now we will be silenced, "said Bimba.
