Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete made a career in public life at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete as President of Tanzania from 2005 to 2015.
Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete was born at Msoga in 1950. His recorded nationality is Tanzania. He was educated at University of Dar es Salaam and Tanzania Military Academy.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as politician, economist and military personnel.
Political reputations are settled slowly, and rarely by the people who made them.
His work was formally recognised with the Order of Excellence, Civil Order of Oman and Order of King Abdulaziz al Saud.
Working from Tanzania shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
