Kwa Congo wako vizuri tunaweza kufika. Hata Rwanda pia changamoto bado financing haijakaa Sawa Kwa kipande cha Osaka. Inahitajika aji commit sio maneno tu.

Burundi Hana ujanja tutamkatia freight time as atapata Mizigo Kwa haraka. Uganda can manage as tuko na biashara nae kubwa tu. Sasa ukifika Uganda ni jirani na South Sudan. Hao ni kuwapa incentives tu za ICD Dar na special clearance desk kuwahisha mizigo Yao. Wakinogewa na biashara ikikuwa watakuja na financing models kufikiwa na SGR.

Hii ni kweli mkuu. Africa is the future.

Na Kwa upande huu wa Afrika Mashariki na Kati hakuna wa kufikia ligi yetu. Ni kujipanga na kuchanga karata zetu vizuri.

Though we have to invest much in human capital. Tusizidishe tu kwenye hizi infrastructure wakati teams on ground are not customer-centric and business oriented.
