NMB foreign owners exiting the country is welcome news of addition by subtraction. WE, THE PEOPLE, will fill the void.
There is no foreign bank in the country, be it Barclays, EXIM, Citibank, KBC, STANBIC, BOA, FNB, DTB,FBME, Bank of India, Bank of wherever on earth they are from, none of them has grown bigger and better than the ones we built and are running them ourselves, including NMB and the whooping behemoth that is BENKI YA USHIRIKA NA MAENDELEO VIJIJINI. So, of course, we can. We've been there and we've been here. Julius Nyerere is back, bigger and better than ever.
You are a banana republic if you need a foreigner to run a bank for you.
