Ni mara nyingi sana tumewaingilia watanzania kwa kuharibu na kunyamba nyamba kwa mada nzuri nzuri tulizoanzisha na hua tunawalaumu... kama wanajadiliana kiungwana basi pia sisi tufanye hivyo.... mada za matusi na madharau ziko nyingi hapa JF, kama mtu hajakutukana usimtukane. Akikutusi au kuchochezea hapo ndo unamfanyia mambo...

Ni sawa kujenga Nairobi iwe HQ yao hata hivyo ni bora kuliko wakiwa na ofisi China, sasa hio.ofisi naamini itahudumia investment zao kwa hapa Africa ikiwemo Tanzania, cha msingi na serikali kuedelea kuweka mazingira safi kwa wawekezaji wavutiwe na nchi yetu, hatuna haja ya kujifananisha na Kenya, kila nchi ipo unique kabisa na kwa mahitaji tofauti, hapa na kua na progressive sera na za uhakika zenye kugusa kila mtanzania formal na informal sector...nchi hii ni kubwa sana na resources za uhakika serikali wakiwa serious Tanzania ya Viwanda inawezekana.

Hata Japan alianza China akafuatia with their own brand
Wacha wazungu waje kufungia vyuma Kenya

Mbona tuna benbros, dar coarch, quality gerege, simba trailers,

lakini kwa ushuru huo wa magari, labda matela ya punda ndio yanaweza zalishwa tanzania.

A government official expects another record year for new-vehicle registrations as a result of robust construction, energy-sector development and growth in tourism despite Kenya’s engagement in a counterterrorism war in neighboring Somalia.
Rising demand for commercial vehicles and luxury cars pushed new and used motor-vehicle registrations in Kenya to nearly 100,000 units last year, according to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics.

Reporting in the agency’s 2015 economic survey, director general Zachary Mwangi notes the 102,606 newly registered motor vehicles in the country in 2014 was up about 9.0% from 94,017 units in 2013. Both totals include trailers.

“Specifically, the number of commercial panel vans and pickups increased by 28%, from 9,819 units in 2013 to 12,568 units in 2014,” Mwangi says.

Sales of new heavy trucks rose 11.6%, from 9,570 units in 2013 to 10,681 in 2014.

Mwangi tells WardsAuto he expects new-vehicle registrations to set another record this year as a result of robust construction, energy-sector development and continued growth in tourism, despite Kenya’s engagement in a counterterrorism war in neighboring Somalia.

“Improved governance and a sustained strong internal demand for services are likely to favor demand for not just commercial vehicles but also cars,” Mwangi says.

The Kenya Motor Industry Assn. also indicates more new vehicles likely will be sold in the country this year, although they accounted for fewer than one in six registrations last year.

New-vehicle dealers sold a record 17,499 units in 2014, a figure that has increased despite the government’s removal of restrictions on imports of used cars in the early 1990s.

Many of those new vehicles were sold by Toyota Kenya, Cooper Motor, Simba Colt and DT Dobie, which are the leading dealerships in East Africa.

The dealers today face fierce competition from Kenyan assemblers of pickups and heavy-commercial vehicles, including General Motors East Africa Ltd, Kenya Vehicle Manufacturer (which makes Nissan, Mazda, Land Rover, Mercedes, Iveco and various buses under license) and the Association of Vehicle Assemblers, which builds Nissan Urvans and Land Rover 110 models, in addition to bus bodies, custom-design trailers, fire trucks and ambulances.

General Motors has an assembly plant in Nairobi that assembles heavy-commercial vehicles for sale within Kenya as well as for export to Burundi, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Si bora hilo li-PHD linasaidia kuleta vitu vina-boost investment? Mfano infrustructures. Akibahatika second term awekeze ktk reliable energy na mengineyo. Hilo PHD lina guts za kufanya mahamuzi magumu lakini muhimu. Tusubiri baada ya miaka 15 - 25 ndio tutaona hizi makitu anafanya. Itakuwa ukijenga kiwanda cha ku-process beef au maziwa DODOMA unapakia ktk train ya mwendokasi unapeleka DSM na nchi jirani. TZ hakuna chama cha upinzani kilichoiva tayari kushika usukani(nchi). Tulidhania CDM itafaa lakini ilikuja kuvuruga kila hope tuliyokuwa nayo juu yake na sasa watu tumebaki hopeless. Tunashabikia rambi rambi na kwenda msibani sijui Neyo wa Mitego badala ya kutumia hiyo nguvu kwenda kuomba kufuta au kupunguza utitiri wa kodi na tozo za kijinga kila kona. Kwanini hao wapinzani wasiende bungeni kupigia kelele hizi kitu badala ya kulilia wapewe kuongea msibani na kumlilia Wema Sepetu kaonewa. Sasa hii movement ya kumshabikia Wema Sepenga imeishia wapi? Hii ndio akili yetu ni vile tunapigwa bao mambo ya msingi kama Sera bora za kuvutia Investment.

Wapendwa,

Napenda kujuzwa kuna nini cha ziada ambacho hatuna sisi Tanzania kampuni zote za magari wameamua kuunda viwanda vyao nchini Kenya na sio Tanzania kwa ajili ya kuhudumia soko la ukanda wa Afrika Mashariki.

Walianza Toyota, wakaja Volkswagen, Peugeot, Ashok Leyland, Iveco now Volvo pia wametangaza jana kufungua kiwanda Mombasa.

I thought ukiwa Tanzania unaweza kuaccess soko la SADC na EAC kwa pamoja. Why are we not using that to our advantage? Tatizo liko wapi? Ni umeme, maji, business start-up procedures au tax incentives?

Ninachojua kuwa na viwanda vya kuassemble magari ni very big business ambayo sisi watanzania hatutakiwi kupuuza hata kidogo.

Nishauri tu serikali ifanye study jinsi ya kuvutia uwekezaji kwenye hii sekta ya kuassemble magari tuchangamkie before its too late. Pia kwenye textile & apparel pamoja na pharmaceuticals.

Nawasilisha.

Jiulize Kwanini kuna tangazo la benki ya kcb hapa na nbc hakuna. Mabenki ya Kenya yana operate hapa tz na ya hapa hayapo kule. Tunabanana namatajiri kununua magari ya mitumba, wakati mwingine na nguo pia.

Bora maana sijawahi kuwa na wazo la kununua gari jipya kabisa zero km. Wakija hapa atanunua Bakhresa tu. Ila magari makubwa ya biashara sawa wazo lipo

Matatizo ya TZ ni makubwa sana na yanaanzia kwenye katiba. Kila mtawala akija anafumua watendaji wa idara na taasisi karibia zote. Vile vile mambo kama vile kusitisha makubaliano ya kimkataba kati ya serikali na mwekezaji yanaogopesha wawekezaji wapya. Vile vile yatakiwa kuwe na mazingira rafiki kwenye kulipa kodi. Pamoja na hayo bado katika africa tanzania ipo juu katika kuvutia wawekezaji japo ipo nyuma ya Kenya.

Mkuu, one of the major reasons for investors to shun their investments into Tanzania is this brutal regime and absence of democracy as well as insanity taxation.
Tanzania looks like a drama state in which the dwellers therein act by performing theatre.
The ccm government for the past 60 years had simply been pondering over how to continue staying in power,but not how to wipe out poverty.
Since Magufuli came in power, he has been blurting about industries in vain, if he should have focused on his campaign rhetoric, the focus to having industries as his slogan "Tanzania ya viwanda " would have made more steps forward, but he is busy killing oppositions by having Lipumba as his puppet.
He has hatred against those all who do not uphold ccm, last year he signed the most brutal media bill and made it a law, his intention was to zip up all medias which write the evils of his government.
Despite many defects which Kenyans experience, but their government had been a democracy fearing, and it envisages farther about its people's economic fate, unlike Tanzania which treats her citizens like just junk beasts.
When it comes to industrialization,Tanzania will never develop until ccm gets out of power, but with ccm, Tanzania will remain poor forever.

Usijali, Poland wanakuja na ki assemble matrekta kibaha,project ile pia itafungua njia

1. Sera zetu kwa wawekezaji si rafiki sana, hazitabiriki kabisa. Leo tunasema hivi, na kesho vile. Katika dunia ya uwekezaji, kunahitajika sera zinazoeleweka na zinazovutia wawekezaji
2. Hatuna mazingira rafiki ya uwekezaji (kuna sheria nyingi na vikwazo vingi sana) vinavyohusiana na namna ya kufanya biashara hapa nchini (the ease of doing business)
3. Kodi nyingi mno.

Mkuu hapa umeongea kiushabiki kidogo, Ingekuwa suala la democracy ndo kigezo, basi hivyo viwanda vyote vingekuja tz, maana kwa recent records sisi tuko juu ya Kenya!

Shida kubwa iko kwenye sera za uwekezaji, hapa ndo tunakwama, probably na heavy taxation.

TIC hawafanyi kazi yao vizuri, kwanza wamekuwa na shida tangu yule mama akatae mshahara mpya! Lakini hata kabla ya hapo huyo mama alikiwa anaendesha tic kwa remote,
