The funny thing the transporting tender has been given to a Tanzanian owned company!
Rasmi sasa: Kenya yaanza kuuza mafuta nje ya nchi

Since when did a Tanzanian own anything of significance in Kenya?
Prime Fuels was started in Kenya in 1999 before expanding into Tanzania in 2001.

Their website has information about several guys. Including the founder who is clearly stated to have started the company in Kenya in 1999.

Starting in Kenya doesn't mean he is not Tanzanian! Of his 250 trucks over 160 r in Tanzania n the southern corridor cater for Malawi, Zambia, Uganda, DRC, Burundi, Rwanda n Zimbabwe.

No mention anywhere of him being Tanzanian. They say he relocated to Dubai.
In any case, some of the biggest companies in the US were founded by immigrants.
Google founder Sergey Brin was from Russia. Doesn't made Google a Russian company.
Tesla is American company yet its founder Elon Musk is from South Africa.
Ebay, Pfizer etc. etc.
The truth is that Primefuels is a Kenyan company that expanded to other countries in the region.
And it's no big deal having more trucks in Tanzania than Kenya. Even Ecobank (a Togo bank) has more success outside Togo.

started by Tanzanian n incorporated in Dubai.
Rais Uhuru Kenyatta wa Kenya leo amezindua rasmi usafirishaji wa mafuta ghafi ya petroli yaliyochimbwa nchini humo na kwa utaratibu huo nchi hiyo imeanza mkakati wa kuuza bidhaa hiyo katika soko la kimataifa.
Nawapongeza wakenya kwa hatua hiyo. nchi za mashariki ya kati zimepiga hatua kubwa sana na kwa muda mfupi kutokana na uwepo wa mafuta na kutokuwa na ufisadi kama hapa kwetu Tanzania. Maana nasi dhahabu na madini mengine yalikuwa na uwezo wa kututoa hapa na kutupeleka mbele sana kama tungetumia akili. Nakumbuka rafiki yangu mmoja pale Ujerumani aliponuiuliza kwamba kwanini Tanzania mmeamua kutoa madini yenu kama mnatupa tu bila kujua mtapata nini? Sikuwa na jibu. Kwahuyo kama wakenya wameanza kutoa kwa faida ni jambo jema sana hongera zao. Sijaelewa hapo tu unaposema mafuta ghafi ya petroli, unamaanisha nini. Ninachojua mafuta ghafi (crude oil) ni yale ambayo yanakwenda kuchakatwa na kutoa petroli, diseli na mengineyo . au kwa sasa kenya wanachimba petroli moja kwa moja na kuisafirisha ikiwa crude??? naomba nieleweshwe
