Bishop Dr Glorius Shoo, a retired Tanzania Assembly of God bishop, criticizes the nation's culture of deception and threats, arguing that these practices have eroded citizens' hope and created a dangerous environment of resistance.In an interview with The Chanzo, Shoo highlights how lying to children and using fear-based discipline undermines education and societal trust.He links these issues to broader political problems, including the systematic dismantling of opposition and the use of force instead of solutions.

Shoo points to the October 2025 election violence as a consequence of political exclusion and lack of hope, emphasizing that leaders must address insecurity and provide direction rather than threats.He calls for a new constitution, an independent election commission, and national unity to restore trust in institutions.

The bishop also warns of rising poverty, social tensions between religious groups, and the need for accountability from leaders to prevent further destabilization.His message underscores the importance of hope, education, and inclusive governance to rebuild Tanzania's political and social fabric.
