Is Tanzania ousting Kenya as East Africa's powerhouse?

[1 Africa]

I meant all that Produce comes from Production and can mean goods to the final stage standing in the place of manufacturing! Most of those malls in Kenya r selling foreign merchanise!

What!! Can you prove that??
Even if,they pay import duty and VAT...so its a win win.

 

[MK254]

Lakini aliyeandika hii habari ni Mkenya na siyo Mtanzania!

Haijalishi mwandishi ni wa wapi, cha msingi ni ukweli unaofahamika. Sio kila Mkenya anaelewa tunakokwenda na tulikotoka, kuna wengine wanaelekeza kufunga kwenye goli la nyumbani. Kuna mijitu ya Kikenya ilishabikia kwa Kenya kukosa bomba, na pia kuna Watanzania waliponda kwa Tanzania kupata hilo bomba, hivyo kila nchi ina watu wake ambao huwa hawaeleweki eleweki.

go to those malls and see what they sell start with Apparel stores and see design wears, watches, sunglasses, shoes e.t.c. over 90% not from Kenya!

Hakuna mtanzania aliyeponda Tanzania kupata mradi mkubwa na mnono wa bomba la mafuta labda atakuwa ana uraia wa nchi mbili lakini mtanzania halisi hawezi kupinga maendeleo ya nchi yake.

Hahahha...just dwell on that. Those are affluent products. Talk about common items.

It is still very early days but it is good competition. Kwa maoni yangu, Tanzania has a strong general (Magufuli) and a weak army (Tanzania private sector, smaller tertiary educated class). Kenya nayo has a weak general (Uhuru) and a strong army (Kenya private sector, larger tertiary educated class). Time will tell.

Na bado mtaisoma namba, miaka nenda miaka rudi, waliimba babu zenu, wakaimba baba zenu, mnauimba leo, mpo tayari kuwapokeza watoto wenu waimbe.

Huu ushakua wimbo wa taifa Tanzania, tutaipita Kenya, lazima Kenya ipitwe, hii Kenya haipo mbali, tutaipiga chini Kenya, Kenya itapitwa tu, kwani Kenya wana nini, Wakenya hawana chochote, mbona hawa Wakenya tutawapita tu, giant limeamuka na kuipita Kenya, Kenya kainchi kadogo tutakapita tu

na bado,mtatoa sana mapovu round hii.hahahaha

Mbona povu jingi kaka.. Ukweli unauma au??

Si huwa wanasema.. no empire will last forever..

They are the dominant things...food courts,super markets,movie theatre..I can go on all day.

movie theatres how many of those movies r Kenya? how many of food courts r Kenyan brands? even food courts i am pretty sure about half of them r foreign brands!

Unajuwaje kama kuna anachokiona ambacho wewe labda haukioni? Kwa maana mtu mpaka aandike jinsi alivyoandika ni lazima an uelewa fulani wa haya mambo, sidhani kama Mkenya tu ktk Taita anaweza kuja habari ya uchambuzi kama hiyo!

So Kenya attracts that much foreign interest...

we dont need your advice on our economic strategy,Bagamoyo port inajengwa na vilevile dsm port tumeshatenga 1.5 trillion kwaajili ya kuiboresha this year while Tanga port new equipment tumeshazinunua,Mtwara port maboresho yake yanaenda sambamba na ujenzi wa kiwanda cha mbolea,LNG plant,na kiwanda cha cement.

you are not in TZ so you ll never understand why sugar have been scarce recently,however a campaign against hoarding is ongoing to insure that the "fake scarcity" engineered by people like you fail.
For your information,we are about to double our sugar production within three years and i hope Kenya will be one of our customers and Four of the strategic areas that have been identified for cane farming expansion include Rufiji Valley, Kigoma, Kilosa, Ngerengere and Bagamoyo.

Again be honest to yourself, the Ugandan blow, followed by the Rwandan one, plus the eternal warlord regime in South Sudan and the crippling of Lapsett, plus Kenya Airways downgrade and the collapse of the new airport- let alone that your oil needs $70 a barrel or more to even dig up, means Kenya is facing some really tough times. Your government needs to admit this, and develop a new strategic plan for Kenya instead of playing a witch-hunter.

Don't get me started with that Bagamoyo port, that will not make significant impact for atleast 20 years. By the way, you should read a damning report by Tanzania Shipping Agents Association (Tasaa).
Burning a whopping $11 billion to build a white elephant for the sake of being seen to be competing with Kenya doesn't make economic sense.

The world is a global village, I don't need to be in Tanzania to understand what's going on in your ailing sugar industry. I have access to information overload, indepth analysis by your own economic experts.

For your information, Uganda wasn't a blow to us. They simply refused to have a joint pipeline with us and chose to construct their own. It must be noted that Lappset was conceived without Uganda in mind. We are still building our own pipeline, railway, road, port, resort towns etc. Lappset is very much alive.

There are more oil discoveries happening, we will soon be hitting several billions, while noting our current per barrel break even is less than that $70 you're deluding yourself with.

Our country has got all its turbo engine fired up, be ready to gather dust behind us.

which foreign interests u r just a market!

movie theatres how many of those movies r Kenya? how many of food courts r Kenyan brands? even food courts i am pretty sure about half of them r foreign brands!

Hata kama kampuni zenye si za kikenya,wanatumia viungo vya Kikenya. Or do they import their ingredients??
And they employ Kenyans. Or do they ship in labour from their mother country??
And please,most courts are Kenyan. A good example java,savanna,baby world....

Hahaha..stop playing around with words.

which foreign interests u r just a market!

Mimi huwa siangalii mwandishi, bali cha muhimu kwangu huwa anachokisema. Hapo sioni chochote kipya zaidi ya zile nyimbo za miaka yote.
Binafsi ninafuatilia sana maendeleo ya nchi zote zilizotuzunguka, na pamoja na nchi yangu. Nimekusanya data nyingi sana na ninafuatilia hatua kwa hatua, hususan miradi ya Kenya. Hivyo siwezi yumbishwa na mwandishi ambaye hajatumia muda wake kufanyia utafiti anachokiandika.

Ok, inawezekana labda wewe uko sahihi kwamba hajui alichokiandika!​
