Calm down, Kenyans; Tanzania is flying!

livefire, Kabaridi, Jamii walker, Nyani Ngabu,

..I think ppl are over reacting.

..I heard Obama mentioning Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, etc etc a few times when he was speaking at the CEO roundtable.

..Also, Kenya was represented in the CEO's dinner with President Obama.

..If Tanzania wins, then Kenya wins too. There are a lot of Kenyan companies that have invested in Tanzania. If I am not mistaken, Kenya ranks as # 2 among foreign investors in Tanzania.

Kabaridi, u really wrote your heart out.....splendid and concise. We shouldn't really bow down to LGBT legitimization. We have better judiciary assignments to realize.

Our tourism might have received a shot in the arm with Egypt going down but i still insist, overt declaration of diplomatic hostilities ain't gonna take us nowhere.....our systems are tied there.

I am for Russia & China inclusion but in a manner not to jeopardize existing western alliances, cooperation trade treaties, and investments. Kenya is a service based economy, boosted by Agriculture, (+floriculture), tea, and those green stuffs we daily ship to europe, we benefit from AGOA and EU leniency to sell our goods there, and in kind thousand s of families back home get a livelihood. If serious travel advisories are to be given to Kenya, we are to incur huge losses, KQ though being an African modeled airline, it reported fewer than normal western visitors. This is a consequence of the western crunch but also diplomatic advisories; trust me, they affect our tourism big time.
NB: AMERICANAS+EUROPEANS still remain to be our biggest tourism sources, not the Asia's, Chinese and Russians.

As u can see my argument is not centered in what happens in Nairobi but the lager economic metropolis. The Khat industry being one example i believe UK may have voluntarily sabotaged Kenya on a mere technicality just to pass a message. That move leaves 500,000 livelihoods in a limbo.
This leaves us with one choice, Go EAST, but we don't need to announce in front of a diplomatic counsel dinner as we witnessed the other day that we going east.
About VAT, the president has better advisors giving him requisite economic counsel as of to the possible consequences of the VAT bill. That VAT bill will raise costs of living whose ripple effects will affect even lending/existing credit rates soon after its conception. Its a bill telling off investors.....before inflation normalizes, its damage may have already surpassed the benefits.
I recommend your remedy, strengthen our institutions, seal KRA loop holes and keep watch on devolution as we amend the bill while coercing Tullow to fire up those engines and fast..

Easy man. There's no cause for alarm. For those of us who are in this racket, we know there's no cause for alarm. First the economy grew 5.2 % in the last quarter. It is likely to do better teachers strike or not. This is beccause teachers are no producers. they are-in a way consumers. Therefore their strike has no immediate impact on the production of goods and services.
Let's turn to NSE. YES the 20-share index is down but the all share index is above 100 per cent. What does that tell us. The 20 share index should be read together with the other indices Viz: All share index and the NSE/FTSE25. If they are all down, then things are elephant. The NSE index is down because investors are getting out of one or two companies in the index. If you are familiar with the trend in Kenya, many listed companies pay their dividends around May. Before then many foreign investors flood the market buying left right and centre. But their interest is simply the dividend after that they sale or demand quickly fizzles out. That is what is happening and it will soon end. It is not a reflection of the health of the Kenyan economy.
As for obama visiting Tanzania, iam told he offered US$7 billion for the entire Africa not just to Tanzania. Tanzanians have a habit of blowing their receipts out of proportion. The controversial Ethiopian hydro dam will produce 6000MW and will cost $4.7 billion to construct. How big is the Ubungo plant? how much power does it produce? If it cost US$7 billion to do whatever was done on it, then probably 75% of those monies is inn somebody's pocket.
As for the cost of power in kenya, Chief keep in touch with events in your country. Power generation is expected to be 3700MW in 2016. Much of this will be generated from geothermal and wind power which are cheaper sources of energy. This means that by 2017 power could be down 50%. Good night
 
I have read this very objective analysis of the Luo tendency both in kenya and Tanzania. Yoy know they are noisy people. Characters who fight if the lose a football match. To that extend you were right that Obama offended some people in Kenya by choosing not to visit Kenya.
You were wrong on one respect however, you confused the Luo disappointment with kenyans' disappointment. If other Kenyans-apart from the Luo had such deep feelings, then they would have obeyed him and voted Raila Amolo Odinga, his fellow Luo and candidate of choice. I think Obama spurned Kenya they way kenya spurned him when it refused to vote in his candidate of choice. So luos were disappointed and they have used the fact that they control NMG to spread propaganda to the effect he spurned Kenya because id ICC. The US is not a signatory of the Rome statutes how can it honour what it is not am member of?

Obama did not visit Nigeria and it was no big deal. It was no big deal when Tanzania hosted Clinton and George Bush in 2000 and 2006 respectively. Because they were not Luos. It was no big deal but it was made do by a a few europhiles via nation media which also owns citizen.
As for Kenyan's fighting al Shabaab to protect Us interest. That is absolutely untrue. Kenya fought al shabaab to protect its country from counterfeit smuggled goods, protect its tourism industry and protect its youth from brain washing by al-shabaab. And after knocking them out, Somalia has a semblance of order.
As for Tanzania flying. I do not know what that means. President are simply Tourists who probably bring nothing else to the countries they visit? How did Tanzania gains from the previous high profile visits?
 
Remember every human being had its root, obama its root is from kenya but never lie yourself as obama is kenyan never ever,barack obama is an american man and citizen of america,let not cheat ourself
 
Wewe inaonekana ni mkabila wa kupindukia. Bado unayo njia ndefu ya kujikomboa kiakili na kimaadili!

Thanks GU for the info. But you did not answer how Tanzania has benefited from Presidential tourism in the last decade. This info covers Africa, kenya included even though Obama spurned it.
 
Tanzania is flying? :clap2: Itatua lini itupate huko?
 

On that US$7bio. Tanzania is to receive not less than US$3bio and for the US$9 bio. from private sector TZ is to receive a half of that! Still not a mean achievement considering the fact we qualified for MCC phase II that will be btn US$ 800mio-1bio! Symbion has just lunched 400MW gas-electricity power project worthing US$1bio.(Financing different) apart the 350MW from Japanese one in Kinyerezi. Ethiopia dam project is not financed by the US do ur homework
 

Idiot........continue bootlicking and begging the West while other African countries develop by themselves.
 

kama uchumi unakuwa mnajazana Tanzania kufanya nini? mbona maisha yenu yako chini ?
mnajazana tu Tz nendeni kwenu si uchumi umekuwa. ni bora nyoka kuliko mkenya
 
Do you have a problem understanding English? I said the Rennaisance dam that will produce 6000Mw will cost $4.7 bn then asked the question if the project in TZ -Ithink the Ubungo gas station cost $7bn how much power is it producing? I did not refer to the source of funding of the project!
