I see Bongolalas yapping here about Kenya GDP and how they are catching up ooh shit like that..
If Tanzania did not catch up with Kenya during the 1991 to 2002, when Kenya went through a serious economic crisis under Moi and his thugs in govt, then you will wait a really long time.
We have no substantial mineral deposits, or arable land - in fact 2/3 of our nation is semi arid, there is corruption,tribalism...
But do you know what ? we have man-power, the technical schools and universities we have built in the last 15yrs are more than TZ has built since independence.
Corruption is getting controlled and citizens are becoming more vigilant on our their money is spent .
The new generation does not identify so much with their ethnic groups.
More of our land is getting irrigated, we have over 60-dams under construction for irrigation purposes only..
I can go on and on , but one thing am sure is that it will take years just to match our human resources capacity, and maybe an eternity to match our resilience, we survived the dark years i have stated above when IMF, world bank and everyone expected us to collapse but we didn't.
