Kweli Kenya ni jirani zetu wa damu, katika nchi zinazoshindana Afrika, nadhani ni Kenya na Tanzania. Yaani tunapenda kushindana kila kitu. Kenya mpo juu sikatai ila nasi tunakuja huko, na jiandaeni sana na maneno...maana siku tukifika ...mitandaoni mtakimbia. Hiyo siku ipo karibu sana. Niko nje ya East Afrika, nipo na wakenya huku na huwa tunaendelea kushindana tuuuu. Ila kwa maneno tu hamtushindi.Jameni dah! Wakenya bana....ila ndio kama hivyo kujituma kwa kufa mtu, hamna kuachia, kupambana kama wasemavyo mashemeji zangu Waluhya umundu khu mundu, yaani kha! Lini majirani wataamka huu usingizi, kunao walituambia mwakani ndio wataamka, yaani kesho kutwa...
Sema hii inatia huruma, tusishabikie sana kuwaona hawa majirani wameganda hivi, tuwasaidie kuamka, ila walivyo wagumu na wabishi

Kenya has this year dominated the deals landscape in East Africa, accounting for 71 percent of all deals and cementing Nairobi’s status as the regional business hub.
Analysis of the region’s deals by investment advisory firm I & M Burbidge Capital for the 11 months to November shows Kenya accounted for 74 of the 104 deals. The other countries included in the survey are Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda and Ethiopia.
The total disclosed value of the deals — although a sizeable number of dealmakers do not disclose the financial value — stood at Sh163.1 billion ($1.62 billion), compared to Sh148 billion ($1.47 billion) in 2018, when there were 67 deals concluded by the end of November.
“Interestingly, 62 percent of all disclosed deals in the year-to-date are private equity transactions (64 deals), although, by value, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions edge private equity transactions by about 45 per cent,” said I & M Burbidge Capital chief executive Edward Burbidge.
“The highest volume of deals year-to-date has been recorded in the financial services (22 percent), agribusiness (13 percent) and the energy, oil and gas sectors (11 percent).”
The biggest deal of the year was done in January, where Indonesian oil giant Medco Energi struck a Sh51.7 billion deal to buy a 100 percent stake in Londo- listed Ophir Energy, which held a long-standing interest in Kenya until 2016 when it announced it was exiting oil exploration investments at the Coast-based Block L9.
In total, mergers and acquisitions, whose value was disclosed, were worth Sh69.82 billion ($693.4 million), while private equity (PE) deals were valued at Sh48.2 billion ($478.8 million).
Of concern though is the continued dearth of deals in the capital markets, which include initial public offerings, bonds and commercial papers, especially in the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), which is the region’s largest bourse.
In the 11 months, the region saw bond issues valued at just Sh4.9 billion ($48.4 million), and commercial papers worth Sh503.5 million ($5 million).
PE firms making exits have more often opted to sell to fellow venture capitalists rather than use the region’s stock markets as an exit avenue.
Last week, outgoing Capital Markets Authority Chief Executive Paul Muthaura lamented the fact that the NSE has missed out on the tide of a vibrant private transactions environment over the last decade, with many PE funds currently at the exit stage of their investments.
Corporate bond issuances have also been affected by investor fears over the safety of funds following the high profile collapse of two banks in Kenya in 2015 and 2016 that went down with billions on bondholder funds.

Relations between Kenya and Tanzania are ripe for strengthening
Kizito Temba 21st Jul 2019 00:00:00 GMT +0300
[https://www]Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta with Tanzanian President John Magufuli at a past event. [File, Standard]President Uhuru Kenyatta’s recent visit to his Tanzanian counterpart John Magufuli marked great progress for bilateral relations between the two nations.
Our relations with Tanzania have not always been the strongest. A few weeks ago, MP Charles Njagua, also known as Jaguar, ruffled feathers with his xenophobic remarks about Tanzanians working here. However, his populist statements were quickly condemned by the government and all those who recognise that there is no place for such intolerance in Kenya.
After all, the trade and tourism exchange between Tanzania and Kenya make a big contribution to our economy. According to Magufuli, there are 504 Kenyan-owned companies in Tanzania, valued at $1.7 billion (Sh170 billion). Moreover, these companies provide 50,000 Tanzanians with jobs. At the same time, 24 Tanzanian companies in Kenya are valued at $189 million (Sh19 billion).
Last year alone, 10 per cent of the more than two million tourists to Kenya were Tanzanian, totalling 222,216 visitors. That’s the second largest group after Americans.

But despite this mutual dependence, relations have not always been smooth, especially regarding trade. In July 2016, Tanzania declined to participate in the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the European Union, leaving Kenya and Rwanda to sign with the EU individually rather than as a fortified trading bloc. More recently, protectionist policies have made it difficult for foreign traders to access Tanzanian markets.
Though we are both members of the East African Community (EAC), traders going in both directions have been frustrated by duties on some goods, bans on certain commodity imports and cargo hold-ups at border crossings.
Close terms

But there is no use in a frosty alliance with what should be one of our closest partners. Luckily, Uhuru has recognised that we are much better off being on close terms with our neighbours.
This foundation of trust and mutual understanding will contribute to our economic growth in the coming months. Tanzania has now committed to opening up its borders for trade, and Kenya will begin to import natural gas from our neighbour.

This will be much cheaper and more environmentally friendly than shipping it from abroad.
In addition, a Single Customs Territory (SCT) will allow for seamless trade around the Lake Victoria region. This follows an April meeting between the two nations that resulted in an agreement to quickly and efficiently coordinate domestic taxes, levies and fees.
Moreover, the two heads of state reached an agreement that if a citizen of one country commits a crime in the other, he will be subject to the laws of the state in which he violated them. This shows a remarkable amount of confidence in each other’s justice system, and should prove useful in the President’s war on corruption.
According to the Economic Survey 2019, Kenyan exports to Tanzania increased from Sh28.5 billion to Sh29.8 billion between 2017 and 2018. With movement in the right direction, it is crucial to build on this momentum and double down on this important relationship.
The benefits of our positive relationship are immediate. Just recently, Kenya requested that Tanzania export millions of bags of maize to us directly in the next few months. While we have a maize deficit, Tanzania has a surplus, making it a win-win situation for both.
Uhuru is well aware of the importance of constantly maintaining good relationships with our neighbours. The recent state visit by South Sudan President Salva Kiir also attests to this fact. East Africa will be more prosperous as a unified region than as individual players.
During his speech in Tanzania, Uhuru pointed out both our common heritage and destiny as the driver behind regional partnerships. Indeed, many of our biggest challenges are shared by our neighbours, including poverty and global warming.
His call to break down barriers that hinder the free movement of people across East African borders is a visionary look at how the future of our nation will be as a result of his leadership
