Eyebrows up as Tanzania President John Magufuli absent from Nairobi Blue Economy conference

Hata kama hakuwepo lakini si nchi iliwakilishwa na mtu mzito kabisa wa ngazi ya Rais. Haya mambo ya kutembea na "panadol" ili kupunguza maumivu ya kichwa baada ya kuongea lugha za wageni nani anayataka! Halafu hivyo vikao zaidi ya kuuza sura huwa havina tija za maana.

Increased imports for transport equipment and building and construction materials have seen Tanzania’s current account deficit widen by $966 million to $2.159 billion in the year ending September 2018, compared with $1.193 billion in the same period in 2017.
The figure represents a 7.5 per cent rise from August 2018, when the deficit was $2.009 billion.
The Bank of Tanzania (BoT) says all categories of imports went up while exports have reduced as investors have moved operations to neighboring regions.
In its latest economic review, the central banks says oil imports, which make up the largest share of imports into the country, accelerated by 8.1 per cent to $1.973 billion, largely blamed on the rise in prices in the world market caused by supply factors.
At the same time, the export value of goods and services declined, mainly due to a decline in the export of non-traditional goods.
Non-traditional exports include diamonds, gold, manufactured goods such as mobile devices, coffee, tobacco, fish and fish products, as well as horticultural products.

“In the year ending September 2018, the export value of goods and services accounted about $8.669 billion compared with $8.741 billion recorded in the year ending September 2017,” said the report.
Non-traditional exports include diamonds, gold, manufactured goods such as mobile devices, coffee, tobacco, fish and fish products as well as horticultural products.
The traditional exports counter features agricultural commodities, with coffee, cotton, sisal, tea, raw tobacco, cashew nuts and cloves being major.
Tanzania’s top export destinations are India, the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, South Africa and China. The same nations also make up the import.

Kwanini sio kericho au kisumu. Tz we have Arusha icc. Nyerere icc the best and latest in Dsm.
But you guys, too much centralization.
 
Again stupid bitch, unaona hivyo vitu vinavyoingizwa nchini?, vyote ni capital equipments for development. Wewe ni mjinga sana.

Tanzania is importing more machines, materials for construction of SGR and Uganda pipelines, machines for our manufacturing sector, all these are for development and job creation.

Your are here trying to find negatives, but your mental ability is very low to differentiate negatives from positives.

The absence of Tanzania's president John Pombe Magufuli at the Blue Economy Conference in Nairobi has once again raised eyebrows.

Magufuli's failure to attend the Blue Economy Conference is, however, in line with his disdain for conferences, which he has cut to a bare minimum, shoe-string-budget affairs in Tanzania.

He is the only missing East African head of State in the talks. Uganda's Yoweri Museveni, Somalia's Mohammed Farmaajo, Rwanda's Paul Kagame, Mozambique's Filipe Nyusi, and Seychelles' Danny Faure showed up.
The Blue Economy Conference officially commenced on Monday with several heads of states gracing the event. Over 183 countries have sent delegates bring the number of participants way above 17,600.
Magufuli's absence has left many wondering whether the somewhat lukewarm diplomatic relationships between Kenya and Tanzania may be behind his decision to skip the conference jointly organised by Kenya, Canada and Japan.
The conference seeks to promote sustainable use of the seas, lakes and oceans as well as their resources for sustainable economic development.
It should be noted that Magufuli did not attend President Uhuru's first and second inauguration in 2012 and 2017 respectively.
Kenya and Tanzania have been at loggerheads ever since Nairobi protested, through diplomatic channels, at Tanzania's alleged hosting of a separate vote tallying centre linked to the Raila Odinga led NASA
In November 2017, President Magufuli caused a diplomatic stir when his government auctioned more than 1000 cows belonging to Kenyan Maasai pastoralists who were grazing them at the Tanzanian border. Magufuli government also burned 6,400 chicks imported from Kenya maintaining they were infected by bird flu.
Nairobi described Magufuli's action as hostile while the Tanzanian president vowed to go on auctioning and confiscating livestock that crossed the border without permission.
"Tanzania cannot be a feeding farm for animals from other countries and that is why we have stated that we are going to take action according to the as law," Magufuli said adding: "We want to tell our neighbours to take measures based on their laws once our animals graze in their countries."
In December, 2015, Magufuli, banned Brookside Dairy from operating in Arusha, Tanzania.
While addressing the Tanzanian Private sector Foundation, he said it was not fair for Brookside Dairy Limited to collect milk from Tanzania, process it in Kenya and then sell the milk back to Tanzania.
"How many dairy companies do we have in our company which are working? Why is Brookside Company collecting milk from farmers in Arusha, taking it to Kenya for processing and then bringing it back for selling? Enough is enough, we can't allow this anymore" he told the business people.?

*It is becoming clear that Tanzania is trying to fight Africa and the world to protect its stupid "Ujamaa" interests. The big boys are now eyeing this Magufuli guy. It's like he needs to be taught some discipline and that shall be Organized.[emoji34][emoji34][emoji34][emoji34][emoji34]View attachment 949059

.....and discipline, he will be taught properly no doubt about it.

he should have known better and probably ask Mugabe who thought his allegiance to the likes of China & Russia would have spared him of the brushes he and his people eventually suffered brutally.

While Tanzania increases imports on Machines, construction materials and other capital goods for investments, Kenya increases importation of maize from Uganda, " That is the different between modern and banana Economies ".

😀😀😛😛😛😛😀😀😀 wivu huooo
 
Magufuli is a country bumpkin
Magu kuli, a pantry lumpen
Magu foolie, a shanty pumpkin
Magu stoolie, a salty dumpling
A cruel joke that's forcefully sampling
A true broke cat, woefully pumping
Bankrupt ideas, I fear my dear
I seer, the sheer panacea disappear


Way out of his depth.

He is afraid of the deep waters at the Blue Economy trench.
 
Most of Kenyans in here have been vomiting out a stupidity to its level, Tanzania is an Independent nation same applies to presidency. Magu's schedule never had such event for him to attend to instead he appointment representatives on his behalf of which it is totally accepted locally and Internationally. Maybe you could have rejected our representatives right on spot if it was only Magufuli whom you were filmed to welcome.
Your southern side neighbouring nation got even bigger fish to catch aside from those nuisance summits and the alikes without any vivid outcomes. On this matter I stand to defend my president unconditional with no apology.
